Red Threads

The stupidest thing

when we cannot distinguish

between hate and love

"Away awake?"

zuu asked gently towards bii just after the girl squirmed and opened her eyes

her typical waking face seemed so messy, instantly when bii realized that zuu was still inside the same blanket as her, with a slow motion she tried to sink back into her blanket,he closed his eyes softly and a shadow of what they had done a few hours ago made him so embarrassed.

zuu looks smiling looking at bii who is trying to get back into her blanket, she just found out the girl has a different side that she has never known before

Suddenly he opened his blanket slowly, as if he had just realized the condition of zuu

"Is the wound okay?"

he asked then, trying to move to see zuu's body on the back, he did not even know where the male wound was.

zuu tried to sit on the mattress Then she turned her body slowly

Bii sat down, then he touched slowly the left shoulder of zuu which had been wrapped by bandages

"Is it so painful?"

ask her slowly then touch slowly luka zuu

'Not so"

"You're not the type to complain"

say bii slowly

"It's weird for a guy my age to complain about things like this'

after saying so zuu turned his body slowly, staring at the puzzled-looking bii

instantly, Zuu immediately placed his head on top of his thigh, he pulled slowly on bii's wrist, grasped it tightly and placed the tiny hand on his face

bii seemed speechless, leaving zuu's position like that for some time.they did not talk to each other for quite a long time.

"You hear a story?"

tanya zuu suddenly, opened her eyeball slowly then stared in bii

bii was silent, staring back at zuu's eyeballs

"Hm"

"Have you ever heard the invisible red thread of the Buddhist eye that was connected from birth?"

zuu asked as he continued to stare at Bii's eyeballs

bii momentarily nodded

"it's a true soul mate story tied to their little finger"

say bii slowly

zuu smiled

"There is a family, they have 2 daughters. The eldest is tied to his father's friend's family while the youngest is tied to his mother's friend. the eldest will get married but a bad incident occurred until finally his partner died, in the end the brother who married him"

"Their youngest daughter is still too young so it is not understood by the red thread bond, when she was 5 years old and her 12-year-old man they met, he said, at that time her youngest daughter said I wanted to marry this sister, but the man said she was too young, wait until she grows up, I'll see her first after it's decided to marry her or not"

"Then they met again when the man was 22 years old and the woman was so young, but they did not know each other and were also in very bad circumstances, the man may keep a big mistake to make the woman hate him, then again they are separated for a long time"

"then as adults unexpectedly they married in a strange way, they still did not know each other, with each other, until finally the man only realized that the woman was an invisible red thread tied on his little finger"

"however the man was in a difficult position, he had to make the worst choice of his life, choosing between protecting his mother or his wife"

bii without holding her breath

"that doesn't look fair"

saying slowly

zuu smiled

"But the man did not choose one of them, he could not sacrifice 1 of them"

bii raised her eyebrows

"then?"

"He tried to protect them by sacrificing himself"

bii bit her lower lip

"it was a tough decision"

zuu laughed, then nodded slowly

"It's not difficult, as long as it can protect 2 people who are meaningful enough for the man, for the man that the decision was worth enough to make up for his mistakes in the past"

bii looks silent, staring at the face of the old zuu. while the zuu back closed his eyes, dissolved in his own mind.
