Forever Young's
CHAPTER XXXVIII A Walk to the Aquarium

Joshua had just been practicing basketball on a sunny Saturday. She had finished her bath and wanted to sleep until noon when the knock on the door of the house sounded. Because he happened to pass by, Joshua finally opened the door of the house.

"Joshua!" Someone suddenly stormed into his arms.

"flower?" Joshua's hands trembled about to hug back but he undoed his intentions.

"Gue miss you," said Bunga then pulled away and looked at Joshua's face.

"Gue too, uh you're crying?"

"Oh." Flowers frantically covered her face. "No, I'm flickering."

"Lied." Joshua snorted then took Flower's hand and noticed the girl's puffy eyes. He sighed. "Let's go in."

Joshua led the Flower into the living room. Last week he was surprised and delighted to see his neighbor return from abroad. Joshua hadn't seen him in a long time.

"Let's drink it" said Joshua as the housekeeper had served tea to guests.

The flower drank the tea and the corner of his mouth lifted. "Lo still wants my favorite tea."

Joshua scratched his non-itchy hair. "Where might I forget." He looked straight at the flower. "So why are you crying again?" Joshua actually knew the reason that could make Flowers cry, but he still wanted to hear it from Flowers.

"Gue doesn't know what to do, especially for Mark to see me, Jo."

And I don't know how to make you see me, Bunga. Of course this sentence held Joshua in mind.

Joshua's hand stretched out and patted Flowers on the shoulder. "Gue is not an expert in giving advice. But I want to ask, is it possible for you to give up on Mark? It has been in vain for years. You deserve to be happy, Bunga. You can be with a guy who loves and appreciates you." I'm example.

Flowers are silent and feel guilty. He could see the look in Joshua's eyes looking at him and knew that this neighbor from childhood loved him. But Bunga closed his eyes, he did not want to lose a friend like Joshua who was sincere beside him.

"Gue can't. I love Mark, Jo."

Joshua opened his mouth but he finally closed it back. He realized that Bunga was crazy about Mark and asked his parents to help him to make an engagement with Mark. Thanks to a cooperative relationship between the two companies of their family, Bunga managed to become Mark's fiance. But that man's attitude certainly sucks. Mark only considers this fiancee as a formality in business relations.

Joshua sighed, "You want to take a walk to keep your mind?"

The flower took Joshua's helping hand and clasped it, "Let's go, Jo."

Joshua brought Flowers to the aquarium. Joshua understood the girl. Flowers love to see the sea and fish.

"Joshua's? You're here too."

Joshua turned his head and looked at Rigel with Nuna. "Yeah, Rigel. Hello, Nuna."

"Who are you?" ask Rigel who saw the girl next to Joshua. Face familiar. "Pa"

"Know Rigel," cut Joshua. "He's my best friend, Bunga. Flowers, they're my classmates. He's Rigel, and he's Nuna."

Flowers smile and say hello. "Hi, I'm a flower."

"I'm Nuna."

"Oh, I'm inget. She's the girl you painted, isn't she, Jo?" Rigel finally remembered Joshua's painting at the exhibition during Sports Week last month.

Joshua cursed Rigel in his heart.

"What?" Flowers surprise. "Lo paint me, Jo? How come you didn't tell me? You have to show me later!"

Joshua confused.

Rigel realized he had spoken wrongly. He clasped Nuna's wrist to escape.

Nuna looked at her hand held. Surprisingly, he was no longer upset by Rigel's behavior.

"We finally got away." Rigel took off Nuna's hand. "Wanna see the Mermaid Show?"

"Yes." Yeah."

The two then walked side by side towards the venue of the show. They take the front seat in order to enjoy the story without being obstructed by other people's heads.

Next, they tried simulating a submarine. Along with eight other people, Rigel and Nuna went into the first part which was a simulation of the shock when the submarine went into the sea.

"It was like getting off in an elevator" whispered Rigel.

Nuna agreed.

Rigel can keep his balance well. He saw Nuna stagger and immediately caught her. "Be careful."

"Thank you" whispered Nuna and tried to stand up but there was another shock and Nuna went into Rigel's arms.

"Lo can lean on me until it's done, really," said Rigel who mocked Nuna. In his heart he wanted to immediately push Nuna away. She was afraid that the girl heard her heartbeat beating fast.

Nuna held onto Rigel's arm and he was finally able to stabilize his body. Quickly, Nuna grabbed the guardrail beside her to be able to stand comfortably.

Simulation of submarine completed. Rigel and Nuna continued to watch the fish.

"Eh, there's piranhas. Do you know piranha, Nuna?" ask Rigel while tapping on the glass of the aquarium.

"Know. In front of me."

Silent. Rigel chuckled and ruffled Nuna's hair. "It's funny, lo."

Nuna straightened her hair. He answered correctly. Nuna doesn't understand Rigel's sense of humor. He saw the piranhas circling. "Can we feed him?"

Rigel's eyes narrowed and his smile widened. "Misache. No go there." Rigel points to a place that provides food for the animals in the aquarium.

After buying food for piranhas, they enter a place reserved exclusively for visitors. Accompanied by officers, Rigel and Nuna experience feeding piranhas. The meat that was thrown was quickly consumed by the crowd of piranhas below.

Rigel turned to Nuna. "Want to take a picture later?"

Nuna thought about her sister at home. He can show her the photos and bring her here with Grandpa and Tanio. "Yes." Yeah."

Rigel takes some photos of Nuna and also asks Nuna to take her picture. He needs to update the Instagram Eternal Squad. Rigel checked the photo on his phone and nodded in satisfaction. This girl has a talent for photography as it turns out. But there is less. They haven't photographed both.

"Excuse me" Rigel said, stopping one of the visitors passing in front of him.

"Yes?"

"Can you help us with our photo?" ask Rigel while pointing at Nuna.

The visitor nodded and received Rigel's phone.

Rigel stood beside Nuna.

"One, two-"

Rigel quickly grabbed onto Nuna's shoulder and smiled broadly. Nuna was surprised and looked towards Rigel.

"Three."

Clik.

Rigel rushed away from Nuna. "Thank you" he told the visitor.

"Together."

Rigel checked the photo and laughed at Nuna's shocked expression. It turned out that his flat face could also have another expression. Rigel felt goosebumps and he raised his head looking at Nuna. Uh, he looked like a laser. Well, it looks like the play is enough for today.

"Come home?"

Nuna who was upset, nodded without answering.

Rigel pretends not to know that the girl is upset and drives her home.

Nuna got off the bike and handed the helmet to Rigel. "Thank you."

"Together." Rigel looked at Nuna.

"Why look at me? You're not going?"

"Gue wait to get in the house."

"good. Be careful on the road" Nuna said before turning away.

Rigel sits on the bike and sees Nuna disappear behind the door. He looked up at the clear sky. What a fun weekend.
