Episode 154: Lying Between the Stars
The sky was darkened with the sun that was no longer visible. We just passed a beautiful moment when the sun disappeared from the horizon. Eve grew colder and we immediately put on thick clothes and saw the moon that looked bigger than usual. Rein makes hot chocolate for both of us. The space has not been completely blackened and the stars are still covered by the remaining twilight rays.
“Brrr... Cold also turned out here,” Rein's shivering gusto and instantly tightened his hand.
“Pastya. Especially when winter will come soon. In the dormitory alone it began to cool,” reply me who then sipped a cup of hot chocolate. We sat on a balcony bench next to each other with an upward view of the night paintings in the sky.
“Looks like I want to grab a blanket,” said Rein rising from his stool. At the same time I realized that the balcony we were in was quite spacious.
“Is there a mattress here or whatever it is?” ask her.
“There should be. Why?” abugn.
“How about tonight we sleep here?” my proposal. Without a second thought Rein immediately approved my proposal.
“Wah, great idea! Tonight looks very beautiful, we better enjoy it,” he said excitedly.
“Alright, you grab a blanket and a pillow, I look for a mattress, yes,” said I who also moved from my seat.
“OK!” he hurried up the stairs. I who walked in the middle room was then confused to find the mattress. Until it finally caught my mind to check the same closet when Rein took the tripod this afternoon.
“Maybe there,” muttered me while staring at the closet. For a moment I wanted to open the closet, my head kept thinking and I didn't expect much with the closet. Instantly I felt unsure. Then I muttered and underestimated it while opening the closet door.
“Heh, there is no way this cabinet is all-round—” my cetus who suddenly just stunned when he saw the roll of the mattress in the closet.
“Truly exist..” murmured I can't believe it. Rein came down from the stairs with a blanket and pillow covering her. Both hands are holding a pillow while the blanket is clingy and hooked on his fist.
“It's hard to also carry all this,” concluded walking in the living room.
“Have you found mat— Why are you?” he continued, astonished to see me who was only silent and flabbergasted. Rein who did not think about it then walked back to the balcony.
“If you've met immediately bring it here, yes!” barbarically. After that, he sat on the bench and enjoyed his chocolate while waiting for me.
It's been a few minutes I still can't believe what I saw. A few seconds later I woke up and I finally brought a pair of mattresses. Rein was gulping down the last drop of chocolate left in his cup. I rolled out the mat and placed the pillow and blanket Rein had brought before.
“Where did you find it?” ask Rein curiously.
“That closet,” answered me while showing it.
“E—Eh? Then, why did you just stay there?” continued surprised.
“Yah... I just can't believe that this thing can really be in that closet,” I reply. Rein came towards me then lay on the mat I had set.
“Wuah.. Finally my body is relieved,” thump while stretching his body.
I also lay on my mat right next to him. Instantly my body became relaxed coupled with the sight that was directly staring up at the sky. All the burdens of my mind suddenly disappeared and my soul felt very serene. We both lay with glittering stars.
“Hopefully it will not be cloudy. If it rains we can get a fever,” he said while looking at the sky.
“The weather is very bright anyway, there are even only a few clouds. We're lucky,” I said with a look up anyway.
The atmosphere became quiet and syahdu with the sound of night creatures humming harmoniously. The pleasant natural rhythm of the ears made me dissolve quickly, unlike the noisy and hot urban air. There was also the sound of a thin stream of water. There was a river that was under the mountain slope from where we were. Once there was a meteor shower that adorned the sky very beautifully.
“See! There's a shooting star!” lontar Rein girang's. I who heard it was shocked and looked up at the sky directly opposite me.
“Wah, so beautiful,” decakku amazed.
“Let's raise hope!” continues excited.
“Hope? Will it really be granted?” confused reply.
“Of course I heard, I was a kid too. But, isn't that just a fairy tale?” my toilet.
“There is no harm in trying,” he replied and then he clasped his hand while closing both eyes and with his head facing up. He also hoped for a while. I just saw him from the side. After that, he opened his eyes again.
“Loh, you didn't do it? Hurry along! Before it all ends,”.
“OK, okay, I'll do it,” reply. I sat down and faced my head up. I clasped my hand hoping with great earnestness. I did it long enough to make Rein both confused and curious about me.
“You look really serious with your expectations,” he murmured.
“Sure, we live only once, right?” my reply.
“Can I know a little?” continued.
“Reclassic. Maybe it will be answered someday with your own eyes,”, I replied smiling while facing the sky. He drew his body closer and leaned on my shoulder.
“Alright, let time answer everything..” he said grinning.
Unknowingly the day was getting late and the cold of the night began to puncture our skin. We covered our whole bodies with blankets and we also wore gloves and socks. We finally calmed down and prepared for sleep. The beautiful panorama made us sad but we did not want to end it.
“A gift can live and see the heaven of the world,” my murmur is happy.
“Wah, once you become able at times like this,” Rein replied jokingly.
“I'm not wise. It's just that I'm grateful for what I've got today and the days before,”.
“Truely too... That way we can be happy,” said Rein.
“Maybe this is the only experience we will not get again in a lifetime.”.
“Maybe, we just walk ahead without knowing what will happen,”. We also rubbed each other with happy grinning faces.
“If only everyone saw the beauty tonight.”.
“It seems that the world will become more peaceful as we feel it today..”.
“If only the sky never felt sad..”.
“Sure we won't know bitter taste..”
“What if there are no stars?”
“Then for what are we created if there is no sign of the greatness of the Creator?”
“Means everything is connected, right?”
“Pastya.”
We felt very sad and could not continue the conversation. With pleasure we said the last words before closing our eyes and going to the subconscious.
“Goodnight..”.
“Night... Hopefully we can always sparkle like stars tonight..”.
