“This weekend you have to raise your hands from work, Ren. You need a little break. Don't tell me I don't know how stressful you've been lately”
Noren still remembers when Sinar nagged after seeing him in his room chair with his head turned up on the ceiling and both eyes closed, trying to take the remnants of his sanity after a few weeks there is still no approval from the side of Kwon Hoji for the cooperation of the development of electric buses that they have submitted. The provision of buses and adequate facilities has been displayed and the product has entered the experimental stage for the last two months. The matter that Noren and his own father (before he stepped down from his power and handed over the power of the company to the child) to first pay attention to the quality of the product to be deposited in the form of cooperation foreign parties, this time especially the South Korean state.
Their own electric buses have been operating in two areas of the city in the past two months as well as experiments, and no complaints have come as long as they make observations of the vehicle itself. But Kwon Hoji's side was still too hesitant and asked for recapitulation after six months before he agreed to deposit 50 electric buses to his country. During that time, Noren was required to brainwash how they could introduce and develop their products without loss for the rest of the month running.
Noren opened his eyes when he saw Sinar had already laid down on the sofa instead of taking up the entire space on the mattress that was blocked into a special room for him to rest. The man who was still in a gray suit and tie that had been pulled down looked at him with an equally tired gaze.
“Just like you have to rest. If I get a renger from Nabila Lo still enter work tomorrow, I do not hesitate to narik lo go home to lo lo lo apartment it”
Noren laughed, though, throwing one of the files in a green map that is rather light to be thrown towards the beam which in fact can not get to the intended place because of the very long distance between the two. The file floated some papers which were then scattered on the floor. Noren sighed, leaned back on his soft chair and turned the thing slowly. He just wanted to let go of his messy thoughts.
“If I rest later, this cooperation will not be agreed, Nar”
“Lo has been going crazy, Ren lately. Mulu company that you thinkin” Sinar again refuted Noren's remarks. His friend that one even already understands outside in how his nature. “Partially if not until the deal also we can contact for the cooperation of the Vietnamese side, Ren. There are still many opportunities to market our products. Even if the trial period is over and there are absolutely no obstacles, the Indonesian side also wants to negotiate cooperation with us. I finished the survey yesterday and they are also happy with the existence of the Agiov” electric bus
Noren smiled slightly. He was pleased with the information that Sinar had just thrown out. Although Sinar himself was not responsible for conducting the survey, but his best friend still left on the grounds that he preferred to be outdoors. The boy was rarely seen in his own office space when Noren paid a visit to the Cakra Eston Spareparts.Ltd. Except when he's having to manage this and that file. So, the light with glasses perched on the nose will be a very focused person and not as silly as usual.
“Same by day, Nar. I'm in the apartment will also think if I don't say anything”
The light rolled his eyes lazily before he moved to sit down. Justifies her clothes that look crumpled. “Tomorrow at six I will call you, we mabar fortnite” Mata Sinar sparkles, looks very excited from the grin he gives.
“But I'm not a jago?” Noren added as he sat better in his chair. His spine ached as he straightened his back, he grimaced.
“Not a problem. Let me look more pro if playing same noob” Sinar stick out his tongue before laughing, while Noren is lazy and chuckles small. Sinar knows how to press a button in his emotions and he is a little grateful for that.
His eyes glanced at the rising Rays while scrambling his unruly hair before moving his chin towards the door to take him home.
“Tomorrow I'll call you early in the morning. I'm sure you lo mabar with me so you don't have a chance to work remot”
Noren screeched, shook his head before finally getting up. He just realized that he's a little fed up with his office space these days. Maybe in addition to sending things to Lisa, she will also renovate a little office space for a new atmosphere.
The next day came just as Noren opened his eyes after hearing the ringtone incisions of his ear-splitting phone. Noren knew that Sinar would do what he said when the man meant it. Rays woke him up at half-six in the morning to be ready to play along with phone calls that were even more than five times because Noren was probably asleep that night because he was so exhausted with the war in his head. So he got up and got ready for the game room in his apartment, where it was originally just an office room that was decorated with a set of PCs and laptops specifically for work. But when Sinar had the opportunity to return to Indonesia and play in his place, Sinar remodeled the workspace into a game room. Of course everything makes his account swell because of the nominal issued. But it takes more effort to spend the content (of course)
Be that morning he began his day of rest by playing games accompanied by the sound of an excited Sinar and coffee in the morning that he had made before the long ramblings of Sinar stained his ears.
It was a bit of a relief, but his body still felt very tired. His head was still full and he still felt very cramped inside the room. Noren felt nauseous. The effect he often feels when he has an excess workload. Knowing that, Sinar then invites her to pick him up so that Noren is not in the room for one day.
Again, he was grateful that he had a Light that was already like his own brother. He will not admit this to the light. Enough he knows or the boy will grow his head and tease him later. And of course, proud of himself so that Noren would not want to do something illegal so that Sinar shut his big mouth. To be honest this is also a strong reason where he wants Sinar to work with his company and attract the man to be in the scope of his life.
Of course one of the other things is, to approach Nalisa Rembulan Cakrawijaya. The owner of his heart from the time he was sixteen to the age of twenty-eight at this time.
Really Cakrawijaya's sister and sister who have made his world not too empty and annoying. Coloring him with a variety of things that he can greatly appreciate in his life.
Well, even though in order to get her heart moored, Noren must do everything in his power to reach that point on his own.
And with the thought that he would relieve his stress by standing under the sky, the clouds that were marching and the sunburns that stained the skin, with the only person who understood himself more than he himself, Noren drove his car to the residence of Cakrawijaya.
With only one intention, kidnapped Sinar Adibima Cakrawijaya who had offered himself.
...……...
Sure oes. Man can only plan, but the only thing that determines is the Almighty. Noren is not faced with the Ray offering himself to her, but rather she stands in front of the owner of her heart that looks soft like a cotton ball that she wants uyel-uyel because of the goldenness. She had to be reprimanded more than once like a normal person who functioned in general when Lisa called her. Noren was just stunned, fascinated and enjoying how his heart worked and his breath that managed to catch the sweet scent of vanilla emanating from Lisa made him so adrift in the strands of words in his mind.
“funny. Gemesin”
Noren shook his head, embarrassed himself by his thoughts. Amid the turmoil surrounding him, Noren is trying to control his own emotions. Control themselves to function better. He was pleased with Lisa's welcome. Chatting for a while and vowing that she was there only to meet with Sinar, before she finally surprised herself because Lisa said that Sinar went for a date with Hala. The one who always messes with his best friend's feelings and head. A little annoyed, but it was slender indelible with a feeling of pride and pleasure because Sinar in the end did not constantly whine about his love story. In the end they both have a process of approaching to a level where Sinar might be able to show his own feelings for Hala.
Noren did not blame Sinar for this, nor was his arrival a mere waste, for at least he could see Lisa in an air of anxiety. He thought maybe he could go back to his apartment and go back to work or stop by a restaurant for a filling stomach. Or he will take a walk to the water park so that the nausea is reduced. Or maybe he could sleep all day that would not work out very well.
And then with so many possibilities in his head, Noren heard that.
Ask Lisa to watch together.
A Nalisa, the candidate she aspires to knit a future together - a woman she asked four months ago directly for the face of the Cakrawijaya family without the woman herself knowing - is, who probably hates her now so much, that Noren is giving up the ability to attract her heart to fall on her -, which is,
Invite him to enter his comfort zone with a invitation to watch together.
Noren never imagined this. Although she must feel disappointed that Nalisa only considers her business as a debt of gratitude to be paid, Noren will not reject the invitation that has been submitted by the woman twice.
Twice.
Only that made him this time finally step foot into the room where Lisa herself was in her lounge. A little bit of her comfort zone that Lisa opened up to her.
Noren felt like he was in the clouds as he walked into the fur nest Lisa had made in the lounge. Noren called it that way because when he stepped foot, following Lisa in the back as he entered the intended place to spend time watching together, Noren could see there was a pillow, blankets and fur rugs around the sofa. Dolls and soft plushie panda and her friends are already there. The dark room, lit only by galactic lighting with flickering stars on the ceiling and a television big screen, features a human figure with a tail and strange scales on a bicycle in the middle the rain is on pause.
When Noren looked further, he could find the hello kitty blanket that Sinar used to show when making a video call with him, with bright sparkling eyes and showing the gift of a soft blanket for his beloved sister. Noren felt the corners of his lips lift. This brother and sister relationship was completely inversely proportional to him and his own sister.
It felt like she was entering another world from Lisa. Everything feels so soft, comfortable and warm. Although the room was cold because of the air conditioning, the warm feeling was sourced from inside his heart that felt melted and he was sure of the body temperature Lisa who was now in front of him, very close.
“Sit where it is up to you don't sit next to me. The couch is entirely mine. I also do not want to apologize because the place berantakkan”
Noren gasped as Lisa spoke. His eyes were raised to see how cute her round cheeks were with glasses coming down at the base of her nose. Noren refrained from pinching that comical, conical nose at a glance.
Instead of answering Lisa's question first, Noren had already stepped onto the fur carpet in front of the sofa and table filled with bags of potato chips and finished fruit plates, can be seen from the orange peel and the leaves of the base of the strawberry collected into one.
“You want to eat from now or later?” Noren looked up when Lisa was still out of place. He could see that the woman was either going into an inner war or that her head felt like it was going to explode, but he tried to hold her back with a breath that was drawn so deeply.
“Pesen now only. Whatever you want, I ngikut”
The remark was said after he moved to sit in his place back which felt comfortable. Noren nodded, began to pull out his phone to look for an inter-messaging service and thought of what felt good for a snack watch. There was a rather long silence when she chose the food menu when Lisa subconsciously placed the pillow behind her head slowly and Noren who realized it wordlessly started leaning comfortably there. The man also secretly realizes that Lisa also dropped a small blanket for him. All done by the woman in silence.
In her inability to choose foods that she secretly seeks recommendations from google and instagram, she can feel Lisa's comfortable movement in her quilt while hugging one of her furry panda plushies. The film on the discontinued television began to re-run with typical English voices with dub indo listed below in thick white.
“Gue prefers to pack subtitles instead of dub”
Noren wanted to laugh with anxiety. Of course, he didn't even ask. Maybe because the ego of the woman is very high, so Lisa herself felt that she wanted to explain it without being told Maybe because she did not want to get questions from Noren herself, she said, but Noren won't ask you anything about it. Be, to show that he hears and appreciates Lisa, Noren nods his head in agreement.
Noren was eager to look up to see Lisa's face, but he was sure the woman would be embarrassed if she blatantly looked up to him. Be that as it may, Noren re-opened the food messaging app to choose which one if Lisa would like from the memories she has and the information she gets from Sinar.
Noren opts for ready-to-eat meals as well as some fizzy drinks and ice cream that he believes Lisa will love. Also, open a supermarket shopping app so she can buy snacks like chocolates and marshmallows for desserts. He had no idea how long the marathon movie Lisa had mentioned, so he bought probably more than he might have expected.
“I just can ya?” Noren asked gently inversely with Lisa looking at him with a slightly intimidating look before sighing, somewhat resentfully. “Ya fall aja gapapa. It's up to you just don't bother me”
Noren chuckles cutely before finally putting down the pillow and taking the blanket Lisa gave him and putting it where he thinks it's comfortable, and probably-, and maybe-, he could be a little bit surreptitious when Lisa was busy watching without the woman feeling uneasy and kicked him out.
Noren closed his eyes for a moment to take a deep breath. Today he honestly wanted to get out of the room that was like locking him up, but in the end he went back into another room that trapped him. But the room that trapped him this time was not a room that was like strangling him and making him nauseous, but more towards?
Sure oes. Noren feels more comfortable and secure. When she closed her eyes and listened to the sound of the movie Lisa was watching, and by listening to Lisa's regular breathing, Noren felt very comfortable. He felt like he was being hugged and cuddled. Removed from his dark and noisy brain. And, maybe, maybe,
Maybe this is what he was looking for. A place to escape from his weakest moment, from when he was about to go crazy and rip his brain contents apart.
Just the sound of a television, the breath of a precious, cold room that made him embrace the warmth of a soft, hairy little blanket. Noren felt like he could breathe. This time, Noren was breathing very well and was relieved.
And at some point, he fell asleep.
...…....
Noren was unsure of what made him wake up all of a sudden. When he opened his eyes, he was still faced with a room that was semi-dark, with a ceiling of stars sprinkling and the sound of female scolding that sounded very far away. Noren immediately sat down.
No, his head is not dizzy. His body did not feel sore and sore. Noren was just stunned, somewhat confused. But he also felt that he was very fresh as if he had just fallen asleep in the right place in the past few months. He also did not feel nauseous. His body is fine.
Noren is trying to find Lisa. What he assured him was not hallucinating or dreaming that Lisa invited him to watch. And sure enough, he was still in the same room. At home Sinar with the same circumstances as when Lisa invited him to enter the watch. Noren gasped, not feeling well because he had finally subconsciously fallen asleep.
Her eyes lifted to look at the slightly unruly sofa, it was still warm, but Lisa wasn't there. Just now that he wanted to stand up to look for her whereabouts, the tiny brown bear with her smutty little hair had already come from behind the other room, carrying a lot of plastic in her hands and with a big frown. He was a bit troubled so Noren swiftly helped out.
“Udah wake up lo, sis?” Lisa makes small talk when she hands the plastic bag of food to Noren.
“Ah yes, sorry. I also don't know why I fell asleep. Sorry ya” With a bit of a bad heart Noren immediately brought the food to the table near the sofa. Laying while directly arranging the food that he was sure that it was what he ordered on the table. Lisa herself got rid of the former food marks.
“If you do not like the film, anyway, mending nolak aja” Lisa's voice is a bit tidy, but immediately denied. “No, Lis-“
“Iya, I know that my spectacle is like a kid” Lisa is back nagging, cutting Noren's words intentionally. “But this is my favorite, you have no right to judge my favorite, Kak”
Noren grimacing. I swear, he had no intention of upsetting the woman. He also did not know why he could just fall asleep. And of course, Noren also did not feel that he was judging the woman's preferences. To be honest, Noren was even happy that he knew more information about Lisa's own preferences. So that she has many reasons and many things she can do to attract Lisa more comfortable with herself.
“But if you watch it again, this film is not entirely for children, you know. You might be too proud to watch Ginian. Though nikile” film
“Nalisa-,”
“This is a film that is also targeted to teenagers until adults. I just watched it until it cried because it really is as good and as good as that. Do not think because this cartoon will be strange, the cartoon also has its own message. Same as anime. Even the same anime cartoon is also better than soap opera, cih”
Noren finally chose to close his mouth and arrange the food that is very much on the table, he said, higga he chose to just let some snacks stay in the plastic whereas he gave Lisa ice cream to keep in the refrigerator. Lisa stared at him fiercely, but she chose to pick it up and put it inside the mini-fridge next to the door of the room that Noren had just realized was there.
“Don't think I can't watch Marvel or anything. I also love western action movies as well which are commonly watched by people. I also wrote the Divergent series with Harry Potter. It's my Disney marathon Movie week, so you have no right to demean my watch”
The woman continued to nag anything under her breath until she sat back on her throne. As if maintaining self-esteem, she nags back which then makes Noren feel even more that Nalisa is adorable. Noren just wanted to laugh and damage the woman's head or just wanted to hug her tightly because the level of anxiety brought was too excessive.
Fortunately, Noren's heart is still functioning perfectly and did not fall into his chest cavity because it was too melted with the cuteness that Lisa gave.
“Lagian also why do you buy that much food, anyway? we're just doing this here. What's your stomach rubber, brother? Fortunately, you paid for the food. If you don't immediately I drive out of here all of my life, huh”
This time Noren could not help but laugh. He laughed in the middle of the room that only he and Lisa were in. Very satisfied. He was amused, anxious, and happy to be one. Her mask was completely removed at this moment. No longer trying to be an adult and jaim, no longer a Noren who tried to maintain his image despite being in the presence of Lisa.
This is Noren who feels free. He felt that he was becoming human now. His skin that originally felt so thick, had now become thin. In the past, only Light could make it like this. She did not expect, that the woman she loved could make her become like this as well.
Or this is just something that Cakrawijaya has, Noren doesn't really understand.
“I swear, this guy even laugh” Lisa rolled her eyeballs in annoyance. Noren tried to sigh deeply after laughing with a strength he was not so aware of. He then wiped his two tear-stained eyes. There was a moment of silence before he re-secured himself at the foot of the sofa and breathed calmly.
“Sorry yes, instead of me mocking or what. I never did anything about your favorite either. I'd even be happy if I could know a little what you like, what makes you comfortable” Noren smiles at himself. His gaze fell on the television screen this time in the form of a blue dragon holding a broken Crystal. “I'm also sorry for falling asleep when you're making sure to watch together that I'm really happy. Just maybe because this place is very comfortable, and moreover there are other people around me that I trust, I do not realize that I overslept. I swear, Lisa. I've never been this comfortable in the last few months, and now, I find that comfort here. And with you”
Noren ultimately forced himself to look up. She expected Lisa's cute face to be cute to her, but she managed to catch a bit of surprise on the woman's puffy face.
Waita minute.
“You cry, deck?”
Lisa was a little unsteady before pushing Noren's head down abruptly due to reflexes.
“Ih why the heck lo noleh-noleh to me” The woman again nagged under her breath. His voice was submerged from under the covers like he was rubbing both his eyes. “And I told you that the movie was as necessary as that. I don't have to worry, lo. Weird”
Noren could feel Lisa rolling her eyeballs for the umpteenth time. He chuckled to himself before speaking under his breath like a whisper.
“This creature of your creation is why it is so funny, O God.. I want to be Halalin” as soon as possible
“by the way lo, huh?”
Noren flinched as Lisa slightly kicked her thigh. He glared at Noren as Noren peeked, but Noren shook his head quickly, not wanting to make the younger mood worse. Maybe he will be right from this comfortable place.
“Not saying anything. Yaudah continued to watch. What is the film about this time, Lis?”
There was a rather long silence when Lisa started playing the film she had stopped earlier, Noren observed that they were still at the beginning of the film. And he was sure that he was only briefly asleep. Even so, he felt very fresh this time. Secretly, Noren handed over one Crispy Chicken Mentai toast which he placed near his place. Fortunately, Lisa realized and took it for granted. There was a small thank you that seemed not so aware he let out when the woman's gaze and focus had fallen far on the film being played.
“About dragon. Anyway, watch it, brother. I'll ask you later, let me know if you're watching anything. Watch you fall asleep again” threatened then with focus that still fully follows subtitles and screen.
“Neating sleeping coke, promise”
“Hm hmm”
That was the last greeting from Lisa before the woman was actually in her own world. And maybe without Lisa knowing, when she watches a movie, the woman will be softer than usual. Noren observed as he slowly picked up the exhausted toast pack at one time while watching, watching, and then replace it with a soda drink where he secretly pushes a little bit of Lisa's hand to get the woman to chug her drink.
So adorable.
Today, Noren has to thank Sinar properly.
Maybe a new car for Sinar, or a Five-star restaurant reservation for Sinar could date Hala specifically.
Whatever it is.
...…....
The beam stopped at a housing that he had memorized outside his head. Where he dropped off the woman who had been next to him since this morning and had a good time together. Hala looked very tired when Sinar looked at the face of the woman who was holding her black cat adorable. Swiping the head of the cat's fur before finally kissing the top of the head with anxiety.
The light melts inside. Both are adorable. And today is a very wonderful day. Looking towards the house that he had never even stepped foot into, he was sure that the room where Hala was in was the warmest and most comfortable. Sinar will wait for the moment where the woman will invite him to enter and offer the same comfort that Sinar feels when around women with a description of short hair that touches the shoulders. This time it felt a few inches longer when he saw her the last time before he moved permanently to this city.
“Thank you, brother for today. My great smile, hehe” his funny laugh came out as he thanked me. The light smiled very wide. How not? It was a Saturday that really felt that this was both of them. Like dating in general. They ate together in a simple place where it was Hala's own favorite place. Take a walk to the cat's cafe, then pick up Pipang the cat before going to the vet for the fat black cat's care.
Meanwhile, Sinar also invited Hala to watch a car cinema for a while. It at least made him look forward to worrying because again Hala reasoned he could not go home too late because he had to make sure that Hexa had at least touched his food today and the child was productive not lounging all day today.
Again the name of Hexah appeared among them. Sinar felt sad, perhaps more heartbroken because Hala did not understand how this day was so special for him. But then when the silence was between them while Pipang was being whipped by professionals, and the feeling of the Light intervened at that time, Hala suddenly clasped her hand and stood up while smiling and agreeing to her invitation.
Be the Light dispels all feelings of jealousy and pain. Whatever happens, today is for him and Hala. Nothing could hurt him today. Flowers in his heart bloomed again when Hala agreed and they ended up watching a good comedy drama on the car bisokop while Sinar listened to how Hala commented on the story in the film.
It was fun, even for the light itself.
“Still back to make, Lo, deck. I am also very happy today. Thanks ya already nemenin me all day” Sinar menoreh smile when Hala chuckles in anxiety. He gently put Pipang back into his basket. “Where? The same path I do not mgecewain, do you?”
Hala nodded with funny. His hair moved there and there following his movements and Sinar only wanted to shake it with anxiety, yet he firmly endured as much as he wanted to feel the gentleness of the mane and saw the funny frown resulting from the reaction he was sure he would get.
“Gue never said the same way you did ngecewain, brother. It's just too low. I am also not the person mengasang excess expectations as well, tau” Sinar found that frown even when he was not making a tantrum. Be Sinar covered his face with both of his big hands because he was weak for things as anxious as what the woman showed him
“You should have high expectations if the road is the same me, Dek” Sinar grinned. “Let you know that I will give things beyond the expectations you imagine. Try it here, if you come out again with me, you go where?”
Hala looked at him fiercely. Sinar knew that he was launching his mode to invite Hala out again. He knew that he should not say that Hala should set high expectations on him because Sinar was not sure which level of satisfaction he should step up to within the standards set by Hala. But he threw a bomb. And he will accept whatever he has done. Sinar swore he had to slap himself later because he had been raving a no-no.
Namu there Hala just came back laughing, following a game he probably already knew. “If you want to invite me out again ya just take aja, brother. I can not expect high, anyway.I am satisfied with whatever you do, kak”
The light shakes a little. Grimacing inside when Hala said sweetly and gently that she voiced, she liked whatever Sinar was trying for her.
“If you are satisfied with whatever I have earned, why don't you look at me?”
Sinar swore by whatever he wanted to beat himself up for getting out of control. The silence that is created between the two makes the Light cursed in the heart. He did not want awkwardness to be among them for today. Wh why? Why did Sinar just fall asleep to express his heart at the moment that was supposed to be a good night cover for them and make him remember this day to be a pleasant day? Why would he have to ruin this night with such strange things just because his heart was blowing happily?
Light doesn't know, he just loves. He just really likes. He's just very-very, transparent.
And curious.
“Gue squirms lo, coke, kak”
Suddenly, Sinar's body stiffened as Hala said that. With a broken motion and a bulging eye, the, Sinar saw how Hala's soft face was plastered sweetly in front of him after saying the thing that made his heart ravage with a stormy angina that seemed to want to pull him into the world of pink.
Was all this time..
“Gue should check dong's eyes if I don't squirm lo. It was this big before my eyes. Brother Sinar is very funny, sih”
The light reflexively banged its head up and then violently. Making her complain of pain and the panicked Hala.
“Kak? Is it okay? Well, can I do it anyway? Here let me see his forehead”
The crumbling of his full head and his heart that felt drawn to his ankles made him lethargic, unsure of what was fighting inside his head and his heart, he said, Sinar was not even aware that Hala's palms this time had covered his cheeks and Hala's panicked face was right in front of him with a distance that was not very good for his mental health.
“Aduh, sis. How can gini, anyway?” Hala's panicked voice and the gust that hit his forehead made him slightly aware of whatever phase he was going through. His eyes were fixed on Hala's face which was very close and Sinar just froze. Just like a fool.
“Still sick?” Hala made a sound, asking. His head retreated slightly to be sure when the woman rubbed the cheek of Sinar slowly with her thumb. Probably, without knowing.
“E-no, coke. Sorry yes, make you panic”
The light pulled his lips with great difficulty. Trying to stop her crazy heart beating. He felt in the lift above the clouds and was dropped in a second conspiracy and then lifted back up into the pink clouds. The light is almost crazy.
“Aduh, next time be careful, brother. I hang because of lo, nih” Hala clucked while touching his chest where his heart was residing. Maybe trying to control his frantic heartbeat earlier.
“Ya.. consumables.” Rays scratching his nape that do not itch. How should he answer whatever Hala told him when his head still could not fuse and function properly. The child really has to fix it or not at all.
Sinar glanced at how Hala was trying to catch his breath for a moment. The woman was silent for a long time as if she was thinking. He glanced towards his already brightly lit house. His eyes were a little smoldering when he managed to catch whatever was there before he finally turned back to Sinar.
“In that case, make the question earlier” Sinar noticed when the little tongue stuck out to wet his lips that would not dry according to Sinar himself. And that movement made Sinar want to grab her hair because-, uh,
No. gabe. He would not say anything that was inside his head at this moment.
“Gue wants to go to a large aquarium to watch a sea lion show.. Is it possible to go to the planetarium next time?”
Rays grazing. This means, there are other days to just walk alone, right?
“Eh?”
“Gue also feels like wanting to squirm Tiger with Zebra deh kayaknya”
The light laughed when he heard Hala's soft words as if he was expressing the heaviest desire he had not had time to do.
“If so next time if I ajakin can not be mulu, lo, deck. Don't go with the others to the place you just called it, huh? Watch out, you if until I say it”
This time the light did not remain silent. Both hands could not be stopped pinching the cheeks of the kingpin Hala who whined and immediately cupped both hands of Sinar to ask for release.
“If until you make someone else to the place you tell me, I will not hesitate to make a marathon watch horror with me all day. If you don't want, I'll go near you and kidnap you to be punished!”
“Ih oath of great horror annexan lo, sis!” Hala whined as she rubbed her reddened cheeks, her eyes glaring at Rays with an adorable ferocious look in the eyes of Rays. Don't ask why, because he's really getting drunk on romance.
“Ya hence” Final speaking light.
“Ih” Hala grunts, pretends to be upset. “Iya deh ya” said with a long tone at the end. Sennar laughed off. He's very happy today. “Yaudah brother if so I enter first, yes. Let tomorrow sleep a long time because of Sunday, hehe” Hala tidied himself up and prepared to go down. The light that had already sighed to neutralize his feelings and his lips that were aching from smiling just nodded then saw how Hala had finally said good night and got out of his car.
“One more time thanks for today yes, brother. Be careful on the road, you don't speed. If there's anything I'll scold Lisa, the Lo” handler She chuckles a little while waving. “Just this out of bed don't go anywhere, huh sis? Restful, Brother Sinar”
And that was the closing greeting from Hala before the woman excitedly walked into her house. Sinnar did not want to wait to see that Hexa was there because he did not want others to ruin his feelings today.
So, ignoring the presence of Hexa in the midst of those who were welcoming Hala home, Sinar drove his car at high speed to his own house.
He would not be jealous just because Heksa was in the house of Hala and welcomed her home. To be sure and most important, today Hala belongs entirely to Sinar, and for the upcoming meeting, Hala has promised that they will spend time together again.
Just two.
And the light will make sure of that.
...…....
Sinar had just set foot in the yard when he saw Noren's car there. Curious and confused, he immediately put his car inside the garage and rushed to get inside his house, reassuring herself that it was Noren and she was doing nothing to her little sister that made Lisa angry or angry. With a curious step and a little bit of worry, Sinar entered the house. Finding a quiet atmosphere at the door, he stepped more and more to the place where he left his sister this morning. And sure enough, he found Noren there, covering his sister who slept on the sofa with various blankets around him and plushie panda pinned in both hands. It looks so slick.
“Ren?”
Noren flinched before he stared intently at the Rays. Lifting his index finger in front of his lips, Sinar knew that Noren was telling him to shut up. The beam followed until when Noren managed to place the pillow properly under Lisa's head.
Noren pulled his lips into a straight line and looked at the Rays with a flat gaze. “But I asked for the blessing of the Lo family? What should you fear?”
“But I haven't given his consent to lo? And not yet fully believe in lo?”
“Tuh right, the possessive soul lo out again, nih” Noren rolled his eyes lazily before ignoring Sinar to clean up the food marks that turned out to be only a little intact. Noren himself did not understand how they could spend most of the food so much at this table.
“I swear I did not do anything adek lo, Nar. As much as I love him, I will not touch him without his consent. I'm sneaky but not depraved, yes, anjir”
“Yes, am I worried?” The light walked towards Lisa who was soundly asleep. Seeing the state of the sister who looks very peaceful.
“I swear I want to tonjok lo now, yes. I guess you ngedate will be happy, this back to the same mosquito house I”
The light glares a little. Shut up for a moment and stop her teeth rubbing her sister's hair before sighing. Convinced once again that he ultimately failed to dispel the jealousy that there was only a split second captured by his eyes. His ugly thoughts this time overpowered him and he deeply regretted it.
“Judah just me now. I'm crazy, Ren”
Noren, who had just put a package of food into the trash plastic, woke up from his activities and hit Sinar hard on the head. Making Sinar almost scream that Noren immediately flailed from behind and closed the man's mouth to not scream so as not to disturb Lisa's calm.
“Aduh, dammit. I told you not to hit my head, satan!” The rumbles under his breath while rubbing his throbbing head as Noren manages to release his lock on the Rays. Noren rubbed his hands before returning to work.
“Soalnya make lo bego head lo, not face lo”
Noren took it for granted, trying to find a kitchen to dispose of the garbage that has now been fully collected in plastic. The light sat with a deep breath. He should have appreciated his time with Hala, but why should he be upset that Hexa suddenly appeared from inside Hala's house when she dropped Hala there?
“Gue do not know what happened the same lo earlier, but only time you can appreciate the time you spent with Hala both doang. That time cannot be?” Noren suddenly came from the kitchen with his hands carrying two cold cola cans which he immediately threw at Sinar before finally sitting next to the Light that looks lethargic.
“Lagian, instead of Lo, yes, who I'm sure made out this morning because I, well, you know yourself?”
The light was shocked by what Noren said. His head turned quickly towards Noren who was opening the cola can and immediately gulped down the contents.
“Yes God, sorry, Ren I forgot. Oath”
Noren immediately waved his hand at Rays to stop making a sound. The man who now looks a bit fresh when consuming cold drinks scrambles his hair that has been stretched down into a blurb that is scrambled back far apart before falling between his eyes. Noren shook his head to the right and left with a hint of cheerfulness.
“At first I want to sprain the same lo, but yes it's okay because when else you will go forward for deketin and nintukkin feeling you are the same child. I love you time of fun. Eh dunya lo back even raged with me” Sinar grimaced, feeling guilty about his behavior today. Anyway, why does she have to be moody like a girl, anyway? it felt like the blow from Noren had no effect on him at all.
“Try me one more time, Ren. Let me realize myself a little. Not yet aware of I”
“No ah” Noren smile. His eyes glanced at Lisa who was still unperturbed. “Soalah I again very cool today”
“The plan is I want your reward earlier, but it's a pity you go back and forth sulking like a big baby who can't be noticed when it's been taken care of from the morning until it's malem just because of something that might be small doang make you sebel”
The beam kicked Noren's leg violently, cursing the man later. “Sialan lo, Ren. whereas I have not told anything. horrified lo, kayak cyang”
Noren laughed amusedly. In the end he believes Sinar will soon forget the ugly thing that is only less likely to ruin the man's day than the happiness he received more before. Light just had to throw a little bit of his frustration before throwing it away and returning to being someone who thought of the pleasure he was experiencing. Maybe if you can say, the beam can set his mood if ugly things have been thrown away with the swearing he needs.
“Lo know?” Noren started when he saw an empty television screen. The room is still dark shades that are only illuminated by a sea of stars on the walls and ceiling of the room. “Adek Lo who invited me to come in and watch together, earlier”
Noren laughed while nodding his head before turning to his interlocutor. The beam looked extremely shocked as to what he expected from the man's reaction in his mind.
“Oath, lo? For what?”
“Yes why I lied, Nar” Back he put a glance at the figure of Lisa who was sleeping sweetly. Noren smiled slightly. “So I was looking to buy you a new car because I have given this precious opportunity to me, love it so much. Lost sustenance, lo”
“Si anjir”
Again Noren was awarded with a deadly kick of Light at his feet, making him complain and throw a counter-kick to the man who is now grimacing.
“Whatever you want to lose that car, besides I also do not need a new car?” Sinar raised both of his eyebrows, trying not to get a little annoyed at losing the opportunity to change his car without making his bill swell.
“lo if you're lying, Nar”
The light rolled his eyes, choosing silence.
It felt somewhat silent, just from the sound of regular breaths Lisa and the two people who were in the room. The sound of the infection outside is faintly heard and also the sound of the air conditioning noise is not as important as disturbing the silence they create. There was a lot going on inside their heads before one of the two men finally opened their voices again.
“Lo remember ‘kan, Nar, since when do I like the same adek lo?”
The light gulped down his colleague lightly before noticing the movement of the carpet feathers touching his feet that had just been a little tired. His head began to return to nostalgia when Noren asked.
“Lo met Lisa when she was eleven years old before you moved to Europe, ‘kan?”
Noren nodded. “When I really want to follow you everywhere before moving to make nanyain about adek lo. Love monkey so much me at that time” the man laughed satisfied. The memories that were re-unpacked made the beautiful atmosphere of the past pool around them.
“Ya apparently is not the love of monkeys because you aja until now even though I did not meet adek lo boldly ask for blessing to Papa Mama I made nih anak” marriage
The rays move to justify Lisa's hand sticking out as the woman moves in her sleep. Gently, Sinar helps so that the sister is not too cold and more comfortable before inscribing a brief affectionate kiss on the forehead of the brother who is now very mature. Noren could see how the love of the light was so deep for his sister.
“Gue sure it's love monkey because after more than a month I grumble lo about adek lo, I stopped for a few years, ‘kan?” Noren continued on. “That time, when you started being sued to take over your family company in Japan, I was invited to the introductory event to your family business colleagues there. You certainly do not want because you did not meet me at that time”
A ray of frowning, slightly surprised as Noren said that. He used to be angry at Noren because the boy did not come to his show where he had invited Noren and asked him to come but Sinar did not find the presence of Noren there.
“Soah lo dateng that time?”
“Dateng” Noren smiled, his eyes looking up at the ceiling of the room, looking at the one big star there while remembering how he could clearly say that,
Ah, I'm in love.
“But I didn't see lo there?” Sinar asked for questions. Noren raised his hand briefly to stop Sinar's speech and chose to stare at Nalisa's face. Really was observing the woman while reminiscing about how Noren could finally say that Nalisa Rebulan Cakrawijaya was the person she was waiting for in her life. Someone he would say he was the owner of Noren's own heart.
That Nalisa is the person that Noren wanted all along.
“Lo know not, anyway, if the dandelion seed can fly far?”
Then he looked at the light. With all the many wonderful memories and feelings she wanted to convey that she was wanting to tell a story.
Telling how the dandelion seed can take him to a place deep in his heart. Where in the end he could clearly say that,
You are the one that I’ve been looking for and I see forever in your eyes, Nalisa.
...….....
Noren Agustion Giovano, 16th, Indonesia.
“Kak Noren?”
Sixteen-year-old Noren was struck by a call from a girl in a piercing white hat and cute shoulder-length hair, with a sky blue dress and shoes with a very prominent pink ribbon looking at her in a daze. Next to him was a light waving at him. Noren stopped the activities he had been working on for the past few days and approached the two people who seemed to have an interest in him.
“Noren, really sorry. I can ask you so much for help, can't I?” The light asks with a troubled look. “My group hasn't done my job with Mr. Fuadzi who bates today. While I was told to take care of this boy, help him do his schoolwork”
Rays grimaced and Noren knew where their conversation was headed. “Definitely you want to tell me to help you make your schoolwork while lo ngerjain pr from Pak Fuadzi?”
The light grinned, as if it did not feel guilty. “Tau bang lo, Ren. I swear please, okay? When I'm done, I will immediately pick me up. Lagian Lo also briefly want to move to Europe. Help me out once in a while”
“Yaudah, I help you. I swear to you, Nar. There is no change in the task of group meeting time really”
“Ya so.. when did the group I met that actually?”
The light grimaced as he handed his sister over to Noren, making Noren have to hold the hand of the woman who had not spoken at all.
“Yaudah I did it first, yes. Just a second. Take care of me don't get him why-why! Bye!”
And that way, Sinar ran to the location where he and his group would do a speeding system to do the task that had actually been given a week ago. Noren shook his head before looking at the woman who was still silent, knowing that he was holding the hand of the younger sister of Sinar who he believed made the woman a little uncomfortable.
“Halo.” This was the first time Noren had seen his sister Sinar. All this time he only knew that Sinar had a younger brother just from what he said about his sister who did this and that so he did not know what to call the woman by what name. Noren cleared his throat for a while before trying to become more mature, after all, he was sixteen years old and he had to be a controlled adult human to connect with others.
“Halo, whose name is it, yes?”
Noren crouched down to see more clearly the face of the woman who was just looking around as if she was observing the situation. The woman was a little surprised when Noren was in front of her face and reflexively squealed until she jumped back. He made the hat he was wearing fall down and frantically the boy tried to shuffle his hair, looking for his hat that crashed.
Noren laughing. Eleven-year-olds are adorable.
“This hat. Sorry if brother ngagetin” Noren gave the hat he had taken and handed it back to the woman. The face he was observing now was so sweet and funny. His cheeks were still pinched with flat bangs resting on his forehead as well as his cute eyes like he was panicking. Noren smiled as he put it back on the head of the girl whose height almost reached her chest.
“Sorry yes brother ngangetin kamu” Noren is trying to be softer with that woman. Then he repeated his question. “If you can know, whose name are you? Sister's name, Noren. You called me, right?”
Slowly the woman nodded before chuckling. “My name is Nalisa, brother. You can call me Lisa!”
It was the very excited voice of the girl. Makes Noren laugh.
“Oke Lisa, greetings, ya”
Lisa looks to be nodding. The woman suddenly took off the hat she had been wearing and hooked it on the dress string behind her back before moving on to the activity left by Noren earlier.
Noren is planting some plants to fill his free time, and he is happy to do farming activities. So, when Lisa crouched down in front of the pot and shovel she had just used, the boy looked very enthusiastic.
“Lisa likes flowers?” Noren asked. The girl nodded and her hands began to touch the leaf cocoon that was within her reach.
“I have schoolwork” The girl reminded. Makes Noren realize that he was assigned to help the girl's homework.
“If you can know, what is the task?”
Lisa was silent for a moment before looking at the various types of plants there before she jumped up to run to the end of Noren's courtyard, causing Noren to reflexively chase after her. Lisa seemed so excited to be approaching somewhere.
“Kak Noren, look!” His voice was very enthusiastic, making Noren very curious.
“What?”
“It! Lisa wants to bring that plant”
Noren looked at a patch of weeds and dandelions that had just bloomed with their beautiful yellow flowers. Noren smiled slightly as he squatted.
“But this is not a flower, Lisa. This weed”
Lisa shook her head as if she was judging Noren. “Kak Noren doesn't know, yes?” Stir with a piercing look. The eleven-year-old looked very serious about his words.
“What?”
“According to Lisa, the Dandelion is a beautiful and strongest flower!”
Noren raised both eyebrows, not necessarily trying to refrain from judging the boy. “But he's a weed, Lisa”
The girl nodded.
“For Lisa, she's a flower. Very canric and strong flowers” The girl squatted down and rubbed the blooming yellow flowers. “Because he can live anywhere even when he's alone. He can survive and still display the best version of flowers even when in the lunge of the storm until finally he can reap the seeds to return around the world and face all the dangers in order to stay alive!”
The girl's eyes sparkled as she rubbed the small yellow petals. “He is strong, the flowers are beautiful, the seeds can live wherever he lands. Isn't this really cool, sister?”
Noren was stunned by whatever Lisa said from her little lips.
“Someday, Lisa will be like a dandelion flower with the best version of Lisa herself. Lisa's dandelion flowers will one day bloom, travel wherever Lisa wants, and successfully spread happiness for everyone around Lisa. Dandelion Lisa!”
Noren's eyes were fixed on the figure of an eleven-year-old girl with her very mature words. Maybe on that day she was sealed by Lisa's entire speech, with all the waiting that she wanted to see grow from her.
Perhaps it was not only his admiration that sealed Noren that day, but his heart and feelings had been sealed only from the pretentious speech of an eleven-year-old.
The girl in the blue dress is beautiful. Indeed indeed. But the heart of the blue-clad child was very beautiful.
And Noren fell for a young woman who made him not choose the path to surrender.
“Kak Noren, later if the flowers have become beautiful white seeds, let's blow them together, huh? We create hope and bring happiness to people all over the world”
Pure white feeling.
Children and their little feelings.
...🌾...
Noren Agustion Giovano, 22, Japan.
A parcel as a gift and souvenir perched in his hand since the first time he set foot in the Sakura Country. Holding on to hasi research and maps on his smartphone and also his decent language skills he can be proud of, he said, Noren managed to at least safely get to the area where the invitation was given by Sinar to attend the introduction event of the heir of the Cakra Eston Spareparts.Ltd. which is his own best friend who even up to now still routinely exchanges news with him.
*The first reaction given by Noren is pride and admiration for Sinar because it has voluntarily obeyed the destiny line desired by his parents. Actually they're the same. Noren and Sinar are the children of business people who have a company that is quite influential in their fields and their respective countries.
The first son of the family, the focus and the many hopes and expectations that are placed on both their shoulders so that they are required to follow the wishes and paths made by their own parents. The wandering and sweet dreams that they once wanted had to be removed by force, so that until now, they would pursue something called the pillar of a businesswoman's surname*.
The man who now stepped on the 22-year-old figure roamed alone with the reckless results he had planned since the invitation reached his hands. Without asking his father and mother for permission, Noren escapes from the confinement his parents gave him only this time. He has spent a month studying continuously to be able to take the entrance exam to continue his graduate school at INSEAD in business. This time, let him refresh his almost crazy brain first.
Noren didn't bring anything in his escape show, though, however, he knew that later his sister would realize that he was nowhere the man could find him and immediately complained to his father so inevitably he would be dragged to go home. At least, Noren wants to give his best friend a gift for just this once before settling any of his parents' demands.
It is located in the vicinity of Aichi prefecture, Nagoya. Where he could finally find the Cakrawijaya family owned Building which is tucked and stands gallantly among other skyscrapers.
The weather was hot, and it was crowded. Noren continued walking, stepping his feet towards the venue he had held for the event. It is true, very crowded and there are many wreaths on display in front of the building with various kinds of congratulations in kanji and other decorations from business partners belonging to the Cakrawijaya family.
But then, in the three steps that Noren took, his eyes accidentally caught the flying dandelion seed, right in front of his two eyes that were covered in his sunglasses. With a blink of an eye, Noren quickly took off his glasses and turned to find the fine white seeds blowing in the wind past his head.
Dandelions.
Where did the seed come from?
The seeds of the dandelion flower captured by her eyes reminded her of the figure of an eleven year old woman who proudly said that she was a representation of the dandelion flower itself.
His long-dead heart in the chaotic demands of the family, with the steel walls he had built around him starting to melt away just as his instincts brought Noren to follow the directions from the dandelion seeds it came from.
It feels like the seed was manually penetrated by someone within a distance adjacent to him. Because every time he stopped to look at the dandelion seeds flying past his head, he was faced again with another seed that flew a while later.
Nalyse.
One name that made his heart become unkull and his face began to warm. He forgot whatever he was going to do when Noren impatiently stepped his foot around the building. There was a glint of a soft light blue dress that flashed through her eyes, whether she was delirious or what, but she could feel it all.
A piercing hat, short hair that wags gently over the shoulders, a wide, sincere smile, and solemn, blue dress and tacky-banded sandals, the dandelion, which had just bloomed with an eye-stinging yellow, was now popping up in his head to make him dizzy.
Noren was not aware of when he then entered into a narrow place. Around it was dark, it was a slightly dirty alley. But it felt like his feet did not want to stop at all. He kept walking. The dandelion seed increasingly disappeared amidst the darkness before he finally fell into a stunned silence.
In front of him was a small garden that he only realized was a small uninhabited backyard house that seemed to be about to collapse to expand the building. Not only that, there are many colorful flowers blooming. There is a cosmos and also some pretty little wildflowers. Then there it is, a soil map filled with dandelion ranum that is ready to sow its seeds.
For a moment, Noren was fascinated.
The empty abandoned courtyard was turned into a mini flower garden dominated by weeds which, if properly cared for, would produce beautiful, well-kept flowers. Especially in the part where almost completely mastered is the dandelion itself.
Not just that. There stood a woman whose height might reach Noren's chin. With its light blue sweet tutu skirt and semi-formal white cardigan. This time with high heels, tendrils of bond heels that protrude to reach the end of his skirt, also soft hair that this time has been along the waist of the small woman.
The vamiliar scent of vanilla can be felt by Noren as he breathes in the air, along with the nuances and scents of summer blending together. Noren felt a nostalgic warmth wash over him. He was sure and knew that it was the same woman. The eleven-year-old woman who idolized the dandelion and the same woman now has her own weed garden.
Noren was speechless as he finally saw the face he had just realized he had missed until this moment. I don't think that woman has changed much. Everything is still the same. Her golden, gentle and cuteness and eyes were like her crescent moon which was exactly the same as the one of the Rays. But that face this time was shrouded with more maturity there.
Lisa humbled herself, squatting on one of the dandelion ranum maps that had been flanked for their long journey. There was a moment of silence with a gentle gust of wind that broke some seeds that could not hold on any longer, until finally Lisa decided to help the wind in the journey that the seeds themselves were waiting for.
A smile fell on her face gently, but the look of sorrow did not escape from her two beautiful eyes. However, the strong determination and self-reflection of the seventeen-year-old Lisa left Noren speechless.
“Now Lisa is big. It's stronger than ever. And now Lisa is on her way to becoming a ranum seed ready to go on an adventure”
The female voice entered into Noren's ears like a whisper that hugged his heart. At the very least, he felt that there was a strange pride accompanying him. He felt a little uneasy from peeking and did not directly come to say hello. But it felt, this was a moment that did not want him to be damaged by his sudden presence.
Noren noticed when Lisa stroked the weeds with their red yellow flowers before carefully plucking the stalks of other dandelions. The woman stood carefully. Whisper something else later.
“From now on, Lisa can not disturb and spoiled again the same brother Sinar. You see Kak Sinar will be more busy in the future and not entirely for Lisa. But Lisa doesn't sulk or get angry. Lisa is sad, but Lisa also has her own path that Lisa must take. I think Lisa can. Because Lisa will not lose to you guys”
His eyes squinted at the seed of the dandelion in his hand. Noren held his breath as Lisa stood facing him from a considerable distance away.
“Now, let's hope for smoothness and happiness for Kak Sinar” That beautiful smile splashed across his face before he whispered again. “Kak Sinar, Lisa dear sister. Always happy, Brother!”
“Please, yes, dandelion”
Then then there was a gust of reddish ripe lips that made dandelions fly around them along with the wind. It makes Lisa's figure in the sun reflected from behind the foliage on a shady tree, making her feel like she's surrounded with snowflakes that sparkle in the light.
The thing Noren realized then was that both shocked eyes were staring at him and his screaming heart,
I've been in love with her. and it's always her.
...…...
...Dandelion into the wind you go, won’t you let my darling know that...
...I’m in a field of dandelions fishing on everyone that you’d...
...Be Mine's....
...…...
Noren breathed a sigh of relief after he told her whatever was in his current memory-filled shadow. He didn't care what the current Rays thought. Whether the man can capture how much Noren is capable of feeling or even just simply knowing that, oh, Noren loves his sister so much. So.
But he did not bother. Noren immediately stood up and straightened his stiff joints before he asked for permission later.
“Gue take Lisa to the room, yes?”
From his eyes alone, Noren knew that Rays were hesitant to allow it, but when the exhale emitted by Rays sounded too heavy with the approval he let out in a whisper before spending directly on a can of cola, it was said, Noren sent a thumbs up at the Rays with a wide grin.
“Still, bro. I gentle ‘kok”
Noren screeched as Sinar pushed his head as he rose to his feet.
“Be careful not to fall” it was his word then before he headed for the kitchen to dispose of the rest of their trash.
Before lifting Lisa up to move her into the woman's room, Noren again could not let go of how the beautiful face shadow of the eleven-year-old and seventeen-year-old boy was joined on the adult face of this twenty-three-year-old woman. It's just as beautiful, and still just as beautiful. Although not from the beauty of the face, and whatever the look of Lisa, since long ago he has promised himself that he believes Lisa is the person. The one he will keep until the end of his life. Who had sealed himself and his heart together with the hundreds of dandelion seeds that were blown that day.
“Kok you can spare me that, anyway, Lisa? It's me, Brother Noren who you used to make niup seed dandelion together. When can we do the thing you promised me first?”
Noren slowly lifted Lisa's body in his grasp before stepping toward the woman's room.
“But don't worry, yes. I wasn't just waiting. I'm working on it so we can be together again. Wait for me, will you? And try it, make your heart open a little for me so that I can show that the dandelion seeds that you blew that day are the source of my strength and happiness to this day”
