"Where are you going?" asked Anima when she saw the coffee in James' cup had begun to thin out.
"Hmm, I don't know. Just here to say something" James' body retreated and leaned against the chair.
Anima watched closely this young man before her. Repeatedly sighed harshly with unfocused eyes and a moody face.
"Has Rena gone home? why don't you go with her," Anima finally ventured to ask. Curiosity that drives him, behind the pleasure of being able to have a warm conversation with the man who made him fascinated.
"Hmmh, he came home quickly and in a state of anger," James replied honestly.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to know about your personal affairs, I just...,"
"How much money?" James suddenly switched the conversation and stared intensely at Anima which of course made the girl's heart pound .
"I? my age?" anima's eyes grew. Why did James suddenly ask her age?
"Yes, your age. Your face looks cute, like a teenage girl, but your appearance is graceful like a mature woman, looks beautiful with a hijab,"
Anima's face immediately reddened like a tomato, making her face more beautiful with blue eyes that glow between her lashes.
He lowered his gaze as their eyes flashed. This second meeting was very imprinted in the heart of Anima, a beautiful young girl who had never fallen for any man, and it seemed like it was now happening to her.
"I'm twenty years old, brother," he replied timidly.
"Oh, that's worth it,"
"What pantes, brother?"
"Pantes married," James chuckled, for the first time he could laugh again, because since yesterday he was only moping. Thoughts about Rena always haunt him.
"Where do you want to get married, brother? I never had a date, either" the girl cut me down.
"Never? a girl as pretty as you never dated?" James glared as if in disbelief.
"Yes, really," Anima replied steadily.
They remained silent for quite a while. Sadness again swallowed James' heart. Rena's shadow danced in her mind. Right now she should be with Rena, not another girl.
Anima read James's troubled mind. Jealousy was tucked into his heart. Wanting it to feel he pulled James in his arms and gently stroked his black hair. But, instantly he brushed off that taste.
"You want to go for a walk?" anima said, she shifted her chair and stood up slowly.
"Where are you going?" slowly James raised his face that had lowered earlier. He looked up at the girl who was currently smiling sweetly at him.
"Away around here, you're upset,"
Anima raised her lips next to her, her gaze mocking, making James' heart tingle at her words.
"Mr Galau? what does it look like in my face?"
James noticed Anima's very friendly attitude could also make his mood improve. He smiled and stood up.
"Ho-ho, I forgot that this beautiful woman in front of me is not from a human country, forgive me, miss,"
"Look, let's take a little walk around here. Where knows my gala is gone," James nodded and followed the beautiful-eyed girl from behind. Anima precedes her move out of the cafe and waits for James to pay for their drink at the cashier.
The atmosphere of Uwentira City is dense but clean, with vehicles that float without touching the asphalt and also fast trains that mill around above the altitude, make the city of Uwentira a busy city that has clean air because all vehicles are made of electricity and also occult.
Although crowded and crowded, in Uwentira City is full of trees and also flower gardens along the way are also places.
Buildings with carvings and statues like the City of Italy with the dominance of gold in several corners of the city give the impression of comfortable to just walk around.
That's what James and Anima are feeling now walking hand in hand while telling stories. James is quite impressed with Anima who is smart and has mature thoughts. They are also talking and joking.
For a while he could dismiss his feelings of anxiety and sadness over the rejection of Rena, although he had to admit, now his mind was never separated from the girl he loved so much.
"Hmh, you seem to love your girl a lot" Rena said as she tasted the ice cream she had bought with James. His eyes were fixed on the flow of water in the flanks of the magnificent buildings on the right and left. They are currently standing on a sturdy wooden bridge connecting the two sides of the building that separated the flow of sea water.
"Yes, actually so. Unfortunately, he couldn't accept me for who I was" James sighed softly.
Anima glanced at James. Awe swallowed the space of his heart. Rarely even very difficult to meet a man who with gamlang want to reveal his heart. Acknowledging if he is very longing for the lover he loves. James, a sincere man who has a very alluring charm.
"Accept the circumstances?" lirih Anima's.
"Yes, he was afraid to see our true form. You know how creepy we are with the real thing," James's face suddenly clouded. Anima felt sadness in James.
"Hmm, yes, I know, but Indri can accept Kak Bima as she is. I used to know that Bima Kak came home with a terrible shape and Indri was in his arms with a face full of love,"
"If she really loves sincerely, she will accept what is, our situation and our world" Anima said.
James stunned. That's right Anima said. Just like what happened to Indri and Sri, they can accept Bima as well as Gio with open arms. So why not Rena? has Rena only loved handsome face and money until it is difficult for her to accept her condition with such bad condition?
"That's it, Brother James. Do not dwell in sadness. Better enjoy what is in front of you right now. The view is beautiful, isn't it?"
"Yes, it's beautiful, but the sun is shining. Aren't you afraid of black, An?"
Anima spread her shoulders. Then he shook slowly.
"My real skin is black, brother. So, free I'm afraid, I'm just lying to myself, and I don't like that,"
Anima's explanation just made James amazed. Anima as it is, talk was not made to make James' mind open. Apparently there are still many women who can accept themselves and others what they are.
"I want to ask you something, okay?" James looked at Anima with a shady look, making the girl's body tremble.
"Yes, of course," Anima replied with trembling lips.
"Do you not want to have a lover from a human nation like Bima?" James is getting closer. Anima swallowed the hard-earned saliva in the gaze so intensely by the man who from the first sight had already made her heart tremble violently.
"I.., um...,"
