FOUR SEASONS
Summer (Part 5)

Long time the girl pecked her face in front of the mirror. Occasionally twisting, then his jade eyes narrowed happily as the knee-length bright brown dress he wore fluttered small.

"It looks like you're happy."

Lalita looked towards the door. His mother stood up with a faint smile. Rarely can he see his only child glazed over his goals.

"Ah, Mommy. It's not that." Lalita exclaimed in shame.

His mother kept her eyes off.

"Where are you going?"

"As usual, ma'am, look for flowers."

The one called mother was now looking at him with a serious expression. His son was used to looking for flowers, but what was unusual was his attitude. He's exactly a kasmaran.

"Did you meet someone?"

Lalita was silent, pretending to be in the mirror. He knew his mother was sensitive about this.

"You have to remember I don't like you meeting just any guy." The conversation was coldly closed by his mother, who then immediately stepped away.

Lalita looked at her mother's back.

'Mom, I think I'm in love. How's this..'

***

"I wonder if these flowers have a family." Lalita said, that afternoon on a small hill in a field of flowers, where they used to sit together for a week.

Kai moved his chin, pointing forward, "They're all family. Both flowers." Answer lightly.

Lalita smiled wryly. His look was so sad.

"I don't have a father." Said lirih.

Kai glanced at her. He honestly doesn't understand. Lalita doesn't have a father, so why? He lived alone for thousands of years, and he never complained about it.

"I don't even have anyone." Sahut Kai sniffed his shoulders.

Lalita. It felt like he wanted to defend his condolences, but was arrested because he saw Kai's expression was so flat.

"Are you.. lonely?" Ask later.

"Not really." Sahut Kai kalem kalem kalut. "If you get used to living alone, you'll never feel lonely because you never know the word crowded."

Jade Lalita's eyes looked at her in tears. All this time he tried to look cheerful, strong, and strong for the sake of his mother. She couldn't tell me how much she wanted to know about her father, for fear of hurting his mother.

But Kai. He wasn't pretending. He's what, he's honest, he's like..

"You're really like pansy." He said he laughed a little while rubbing the tears that had fallen.

Kai looked at the girl not understanding. What the hell is this girl talking about? Humans are difficult to understand, especially women. Double trouble's.

"I don't know my father. I really don't know anything about him." Lalita started telling stories. "It looks like my mom and dad have been separated for a long time. And I don't want to tell you anything about dad, I think you hate him."

"Yes just say it." Kai was chin-backed, staring at the girl confidently. "Say me if you want to know."

Lalita's a little down. He replied, "My mom is a little hard." Then he quickly added, "But I understand that he's behaving so for my own good."

Until then Kai was silent. He imagined Lalita's mother to be exactly the group of idiot gods up there. Acting hard-ass, pretentious and pretentious okay with the mainstay phrase 'all of this for the good of mankind'. Hahey.

"Oiya, Kai, tomorrow is the anniversary of the knight. There will be a festive festival tonight. Wanna come?"

Kai sighed, thinking about this memorial day made his feelings uncomfortable. What did he want to do there..

Remembering the past? What do these humans remember? Were they not told by their ancestors what actually happened three hundred and fifty years ago?

"Came right?" Lalita looked at him expectantly. "I'll pick you up here."

"Would outsiders come?" Kai asked, his heart still heavy.

"By dong."

Kai sighed once more. Be present..

"All right.."

***

Everything looks so beautiful in Lalita's eyes these days. The sky looks blue, the clouds appear whiter, the grass appears greener, the wind feels more breezy, and the flowers appear more alive. His heart was beating more rhythmically, happier. He did not have to bother to check with the healer to ask the cause, because he himself already knew.

He's in love.

He falls in love with a traveler whose origins are unclear.

He fell in love with a black bead that always listened to his stories attentively.

He fell in love with a fingers that sometimes nosy rubbed his head.

He fell, fell so deep.

So this is where he ends now. In the middle of the path to the field of flowers, nights. He promised to pick up the man tonight.

He even sneaked out of the house so as not to be caught off guard by his mother.

Indeed, sometimes love makes people a little bolder, a little more reckless.

Lalita ran over when she saw the man standing there.

"You really picked me up." The man looked at her smiling.

"I promised." Lalita is happy. "I also can't believe you're coming from far away these nights."

"I promised too."

They both looked at each other, and smiled. Lalita then hurriedly turned her face and changed her direction when she realized that her face must be red.

"Road to my village through here." He said leading the way.

Kai followed her from behind. He secretly stole a glance towards the girl. Lalita wears a knee-length white dress with no hands. His caramel hair was rolled up with a sweet poppy perched there.

Kai suddenly felt lucky. Thank goodness she was destined to have a mate, to have a mate, a sweet human girl.

"Thank God you're sweet.." Kai said lirih.

Tonight just so bright. The moon is shining brightly. There are no clouds and no wind. So actually Lalita could hear clearly what the man was saying. But his heartbeat was too strong to say anything.

Lalita is too nervous to say anything and Kai is not the type to talk first, so the journey this time is so quiet. There was no more dialogue, knowing they had reached the village.

Kai could see it clearly. The village has changed quite a bit compared to the last time. The houses are neatly arranged, rows lined up and face to face. Full mounted paper lights adorn the streets. Poppies are displayed all over the place.

So many people were greeting Lalita as the two of them walked among the crowd.

"Lalita, thanks for the poppy." A grandmother greeted me from the front of the house. Lalita ran over to hug him for a while.

"Well, who's Lalita?" A fish shop aunty smiled nosily upon seeing Kai. "Your boyfriend?"

Lalita just laughed and waved her hands kindly. Then, a little boy came running hugging the girl's legs. The boy was only as tall as his stomach.

"Ofraith!" The boy cried happily.

"Hoo hello, Nolan.."Lalita crouched down, her fingers rubbing the boy's hair. "What are you doing here?"

The boy named Nolan first threw a sharp, hostile look at Kai. While the one being stared at only frowned confusedly.

As if satisfied to have given a warning to Kai to stay away from his beloved beautiful sister, Nolan looked back at Lalita and replied cheerfully, "I'm waiting for you. We'll see Tanana together, won't we?"

"Sure, sure. I promised."

"We're going to the temple now, right?"

"Sure, sure." Lalita nodded again.

Eh? Wait, sec. Kai's eyebrows are confused.

"Are we going to the temple?" Ask with a slight objection.

"Yes, sure." Lalita answered somewhat confusedly, what's wrong with going to the temple?

"And I told you there was a ritual held in a special temple today." Further again.

Not yet had Kai protested, Nolan had already tugged at the girl's hand.

"Come, Lalita. Come on!" Said riled.

Kai looked at the annoyed two humans who had walked ahead of him. With ogah-ogahan he began to follow.

To the temple huh?
