Handsome Ghost (Medium in Revision)
"Hardiness"
Andres sat daydreaming in the outdoor cafe area, feeling empty and miserable. He just looked at the orange juice he ordered from now on, without the intention to drink, what he went through was an undesirable thing. So why should he live on this earth, if loved ones go one by one. Still washed away in daydreams, suddenly something surprised him suddenly.
"Hey, I didn't expect you to come here!"someone greeted him enthusiastically.
Andres immediately raised his head to look at the person standing before him with eyes twinkling with pleasure, but Andres did not recognize the girl. A foreign girl pretending to be so familiar?
Andres had wanted to ask about who the girl was, could it be the wrong person? however, had not had time to ask questions the girl immediately rushed to hug herself very tightly, making Andres even more confused.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I don't want to break up with you. Then come on with me again, just yesterday we didn't meet a day why your hair is so fast, "the girl said after letting go of her arms, saying at length, saying, that made Andres faintly shake his head and he did not understand what the girl was saying.
"You who?"Andres asked somewhat gloatingly, while the girl looked to be frowning.
"What?"
"Sorry, but who are you?"repeat Andres again while standing.
"Geez, you're here Li. I've said wait there, why are you here now.You're this, making me anxious."a weight of a grown man who turned out to be Bayu in a panicked tone, seeing it makes Andres more confused, and more confused, because he did not recognize the two of them at all while Lia was just stunned, trying to digest the situation.
"Hi,"godpa Bayu on Andres, familiar snobs.
"Hi too, but have we met before?"ask Andres trying to make sure, and try to remember back does he have a childhood friend in Jakarta?
"Hey, Li. You know him? why does he look confused?"bayu whispered to Lia, while Lia only shook her head faintly, and Bayu smiled politely at the figure of the man. Bayu thought it could be that Lia had too many thoughts, so he misidentified someone. Given the condition of the younger brother who was still recovering, maybe it could have an effect as well.
"Oh.. I'm sorry, maybe my sister's the wrong person.I'm sorry once again, yeah."Bayu apologized politely, while Andres only developed a smile of understanding.
"Let's get out of here" whispered Bayu to Lia while pulling her sister's wrist that was still hanging."I'm sorry we had to hurry, excuse me."bayu's camel accompanied by Andres' nod, then Bayu and Lia left the location.
"There it is" Andres' comment shook his head with a faint smile, then sat back down.
Bayu pulled Lia's wrist to go home immediately, because the cafe was very close to home so they were both just walking. actually Bayu had insisted that Lia be rammed using a motorcycle, just using a motorcycle, but Lia refused. when traveling like this, suddenly Lia immediately brushed aside Bayu's hand, and he immediately stopped by the side of the road.
"What's wrong?"ask Bayu after he stopped his steps as well.
"Can't you see him?"Lia asked back after she was aware of all her daydreams.
"He who?"Bayu squinted his forehead not understanding.
Lia clucking."That man," said Lia while shaking her waist.
"Of course Li, I can see him.he's a human. If he's a ghost, maybe I can't see it. You're a freak, '" Bayu replied as he is.
"What?"
"Why are you? why is it so strange," asked Bayu astonished after finding Lia's expression that changed in shock.
"Why is it so similar" muttered Lia before she finally pensively returned.
"What are you talking about? I don't hear it,"The wood is ticking.
"Ah, no. better, we go home soon.I suddenly did not feel well,"Lia turned her attention and continued her steps overtime, ahead of Bayu.
"He's a freak, "the Bayu curgia's thesis before he finally catches up with Lia."Wait, Li."
Lia was sitting on her study chair, for some reason the figure of the man in the cafe was getting more and more clearly imprinted on her mind. Lia, opened the drawer of the study table and found a photo of Andra that he accidentally printed as a memento, a photo he took from his social media account.
"Truly similar," Lia's thesis was inexhaustible, even now a mouthful of crashing tears, instantly dripping down her cheeks.
"I miss you, Andra. forgive me,"sorry Lia who finally a mouthful of lamenting her unending sorrow, because Andra never came back.
"Even I don't know how to get me to your house. While your Mama who recognized me is gone, my relationship is not that close yet.I am at a loss as to what I should do."Lia cried while lamenting the photo of Andra with fingers tracing the photo.
In fact, regret always comes too late.hopefully the time can be turned back, and they can both behave a little better.

"Andra, I hope you're calm there, you know I miss you so much. In fact, I always miss our moments together. Papi, Mami, Me and You. It feels very strange, a moment of happiness is taken for granted.that before we meet your body is still intact. Andra, how are you, are you okay?"Andres stared at the photo in the dingding and then traced the portrait of Andra with his fingers. A bitter smile was reviewed, immediately Andres leaned on the dingding and sat down weakly, lamenting the increasingly protracted plagues.

...Without any regret between the two of us...
...Love, wipe away your tears...
...I want you to let go of everything that happened...
...Because maybe it's all our destiny...
...Although the heart is not capable...
...'Forget about the one you love...
...But they never understood...
...Will love us both...
...So bitter is the story I experienced...
...And I don't know how anymore...
...Maybe this breakup is the best way...
...For both of us...
...Although the heart is not capable...
...'Forget about the one you love...
...But they never understood...
...Will love us both...
...If you were created for me...
...I'm sure someday...
...We meet again...

"Me too,"Andres returned the hug even tighter, along with the longing that had piled up and filled the entire room of his heart that felt very crowded.
