Handsome Ghost (Medium in Revision)
"Magic Hour"
The days passed, already five days Lia and Andres did not meet because Andres was busy with his activities in Jakarta. Andres decides to contact Lia and asks to meet. Andres and Lia are now in a very beautiful place, they both sit on their wooden swings while enjoying ice cream with the lake in front of it, giving a romantic impression of its own. Lia looked so very happy and happy that expression was imprinted on her face, playing a swing with laughter and occasionally enjoying the ice cream that was almost toilet in her hands. While from earlier Andres just played the swing with a slow rhythm, even the ice cream in the cup was almost melted. Andres seemed to be thinking of something and immersed in his own daydream. Lia continued to babble telling me something, then glanced at Andres after Lia realized that Andres did not reply at all when he called his name.
Lia stopped her swing that was moving from earlier, leaning her head with her eyebrows knitted in confusion after seeing Andres' expression. Since in the car Andres tends to be quiet unusual. Lia thought Andres would be better after he got here, but in fact Andres was still silent. Even this time while daydreaming.
"Andres,"call Lia once again. But again Andres did not say. Lia sighed and tried to call Andres back. "Andres?!"call Lia again this time louder than before.
Andres regained his senses from his daydream and looked at Lia's collar in surprise."Ah, yes Li. What's up?"she smiled, or had to smile.
"You why Andres?"tanya Lia started to bete, asking after her ice cream toilet.
Andres laughed and then shook his head."I'm not okay, Li." she replied lying.
"Then why do you daydream, what do you think?"tanya Lia was twisting her chin in annoyance.
"I didn't think of anything" Andres lied.
Lia clucked while turning the lazy eyeball. "I saw you just so far as to be silent and daydreaming, where you might not be thinking about anything. Don't lie to me, tell me what your problem is so you're like that? come tell me! I'm your boyfriend, I deserve to know your problem. Don't be forced to keep it all alone, let's go why?"lia was impatient.
Andres let out a long breath."I only thought about my dream last night" he answered honestly this time.
"What dream?"tanya Lia frowned her brows.
Andres shook faintly."I don't understand what Andra said."chicit Andres while eating his ice cream a little.
"Andra's? Andra who?"lia asked puzzledly after Andres mentioned an unfamiliar name in her ear.
Andres' reflex choked after Lia said that, Andres tried to pat his chest while coughing. Then looked at Lia in astonishment.
"Yes, geez until it chokes everything."Lia clucking.
"Li,"call Andres a little with emphasis.
"Hm,"sahut Lia is lazy.
"Don't joke."tegur Andres was inexhaustible. Because usually Lia is the most enthusiastic and most curious when talking about Andra.
"What's the joke, baby?"Lia raised one of her eyebrows confused.
"I dreamed of Andra" Andres once again said to convince something that Lia's question of not recognizing Andra was a mistake.
"Yes, I asked you who is Andra? I don't know who Andra is, is that your dear friend?"
The deg!
Andres blinked his eyes many times, staring fixedly at Lia's eyes, who was not joking. Andres shook his head faintly, and did not understand what was really happening. Did her dream last night have anything to do with Lia's weirdness now?
"Li, do you really not recognize Andra?"andres asked once more to really convince himself of Lia's out-of-the-box weirdness.
Lia shook her head strongly."Yeah, I don't recognize Andra at all. Have I ever met him? ah, I never thought, did I? ah, I'm so confused as to why you're expressing that. And I guess I never heard you tell me about your friends. Including the Andra you mentioned earlier," said Lia while putting her shoulders aside for a while and acting like Andra was completely unfamiliar in her life.
Andres immediately jumped from the swing, approached Lia by kneeling in front of him, then gripped Lia's hand which was on her lap. Staring at Lia's bead in the eye and trying to trace what happened. Unknowingly tears fell down Andres' cheeks, crying silently. And said with trembling lips. "Li, what's wrong with you?"asked Andres firmly and reasoned with tears that continued to linger.
Lia immediately cupped both cheeks Andres and let his hands get wet by the tears of Andres who continued to fall glistening. Lia looked at Andres worriedly. "Andres why are you? why crying? did I hurt you, because I didn't recognize Andra? but I really don't know who Andra is. He's a stranger to me, I don't recognize him."
Hearing what Lia said just made Andres' chest so tight, that his head sank in Lia's lap and his cries broke along with sobbing so heart-wrenching sobs. Lia immediately panicked as she stroked Andres' head.
"Andres, Andres, you've never cried like this. What's going on?"ask Lia worriedly.
Andres' head lifted, one hand reaching for Lia's cheek with a great shaking hand. His eyes looked at Lia with nanar. While the tears were unceasingly blazing. Her chest was so sore, why did Lia turn to not recognize Andra the figure of the man she loved before. What the hell's going on? Andres really doesn't understand.
"Lia,"Andres could only call out Lia's name softly as he hiccupped.
"Andres say something, I don't understand why you're like this?"lia asked softly while removing the tears that had fallen from Andres' pair of eyes.
Andres did not answer anything, and preferred to hug Lia so firmly while his lips continued to let out sobs. Trying to shake off what happened with a faint head-belt. Please, Andres can only pray that this is just a dream. However, after feeling Lia's hand that returned the hug strongly, making Andres realize that this was not what he expected, this was a true story.
While at the end there, a figure of Andra was standing upright. A soft smile was engraved from his lips, watching the two people he managed to unite. Unknowingly his tears fell, and he quickly wiped them with his thumb. Trying hard and strong, even though it feels tight. He realized that not always love must have.
Andra walked towards the two of them by floating, even now Andres was no longer able to see the figure of Andra anymore. And now Andres was unaware of Andra's presence in the middle. Andra could only watch the two of them hugging and see Andres crying. A song glides from Andra's lips while surrounding the two of them on the slowest possible journey.
`~Blood of twilight slapped me with incredible love...
The wind must have heard our promise to always be together...
Why are you leaving me destroyed...
Andra closed her eyes for a moment, sighed and tried to neutralize her throbbing heartburn.
Half of my heart left this love...
This is too painful, remember we here promise to hold the heart...
Here at the magic hour...
Andra closed her eyes once more, and when her eyes opened her tears fell down her cheeks. It was painful, despite trying hard, but he realized that he was very fragile.
Trying to let go of everything that happened, he realized if he did not die by being killed not necessarily he would meet with Lia, then he had to be grateful for this gift even though it was difficult.
Your body no longer exists, but not our story...
In the name of our promise I continue even though we are separated...
Why are you leaving me destroyed...
Half of my heart left this love...
It's too sore...
Remember we promised to hold our hearts...
Here at the magic hour...
Here at the magic hour...

Andra raised her head after being bowed, and saw Andres peeking at Lia's forehead so sincerely. Seeing that Andra smiled.
"Andres I don't want to hurt your heart, you're my sister and you deserve to be happy with Lia. Lia, this is how I love you, the more I love you the more I have to get away from you. I'm so happy, and once again I say I'm so happy, Thank you for everything, I pray that you never get separated."Andra said in her bath with a clean and sincere, smiling bitterly and then she disappeared for a moment.
