Merman, I'M In Love!
A Beautiful Experience of Being Human

Medelline held a few strings of lettuce in her hand. The girl walked towards somewhere after saying goodbye to her father. The money from the sale of gold, the rest, was handed over to the man.

The atmosphere on the edge of Orelia Bay, very quiet. Only the sound of waves crashing into the reef was heard. The sea wind. Meddeline's copper-colored hair fluttered in the wind. He sits on a big rock. Expecting someone.

Medelline was impatient, she drowned her face in the sea water. Strongly, he whispered Cyrano's name through a water medium. I hope that his call will reach its destination.

The sun was getting hot, Medelline still survived on the edge of the bay. He was almost desperate and intended to throw the lettuce in his hand into the sea before leaving.

"Meddy!"

Medelline's swaying hand, halted in midair. His heart beat firmer when he recognized the voice that called out to him. Relieved, in the end the awaited figure had been present.

"You've been a long time, Cyra. You're okay, aren't you?"

"I'm just finishing up a little business."

Meddeline sat on the rock, next to Cyrano, who was only half of her body. Then the girl thrust out a few ties of lettuce in her hand.

Cyrano laughed, but he still received the lettuce. He ascended to the rock where Medelline sat, while sticking his tail in the water.

"I've returned home and eaten my own seaweed near my residence. But thank you for bringing me this."

"I know, Cyra. Down there may be a lot of your food, but I'm sure you'll miss these vegetables."

Cyrano smiled, then looked at Medelline.

"Mistake great! I miss the girl who brought these vegetables."

Medelline's cheeks warmed, she turned her face the other way. While Cyrano, he started eating vegetables in his hands.

"I think only humans can say such sweet-clad things. It's Mermaid too?"

"Before, because of you, I learned a little about humans. They're actually very interesting."

"If it's interesting, why don't you learn a lot?"

Cyrano looked at Medelline with sparkling eyes.

"I want to learn a lot from a direct human being. Sure do. But I had to change into a human. Will you guide me, beautiful lady?"

"Turned into a human? Waitaminute! You're gonna t*lane! You wait here for a second, I'll buy you clothes at the market near the pier."

Cyrano nodded as Medelline asked him to wait. He sits leaning on an overdraft, hiding himself from other humans.

" Cyra? What are you doing here?" A crab that had just appeared on the surface, greeted the mermaid.

"I ... I .. was looking for fresh air. Yeah, fresh air."

The crab laughed.

"Where does a merman need fresh air?"

"Ah, stop! It's none of your business. Go there! Before the humans see you and catch you!"

"Alright, alright! You're careful too Cyra. People are sometimes cruel."

"Grottling!"

After the crab's departure. Medelline just got here. He heard Cyrano talking to nobody.

"Who are you talking to?"

"Kippy."

Medelline frowned. But then he realized, Cyrano lived on the seabed. It was not impossible to talk to sea animals. Then, extend out a stel of clothes to the man earlier.

Cyrano climbed onto the rock then he covered the bottom. He bowed, enduring the pain as his tail dried up and chipped, turning into a pair of legs. He breathed a sigh of relief, then began to wear clothes with Medelline's instructions.

After Cyrano was fully dressed, he tried to stand up. However, he was not able to balance his body. At the right moment, Medelline grabbed her body that was almost splashed into the water. They both fell, rolling on sandy land. For a moment they looked at each other, until they came to their senses and separated. Sitting side by side on the sand.

"Sorry, Cyra. Because ...."

"Why should I apologize? You meant to help me. Oh, ja. It's getting day by day." Cyrano put his hands on his eyebrows, covering his eyes from the increasingly stinging rays of sunlight.

"Ah, yes. Let's take a walk." Medelline reached out, helping Cyrano stand up.

Cyrano almost fell again.

"Sorry, I'm not used to walking like a human being yet."

Medelline taught Merman how to walk.

"You guys, don't wander around like me!"

"But I'm just mimicking you!"

"Look at that old uncle on the beach. Men walk like that."

But less fortunate, it turns out the man was walking limp. Cyrano.

"Okay! It turns out that uncle is not perfect. It's limping, that's not the way."

"It turns out being human is not easy! Everyone's way is different!" cyrano. Medelline laughed listening to him.

Until Cyrano sees a young man walking from a distance, he imitates.

"Well! That's how a man walks" cried Medelline.

A while later, the two of them had already walked towards the center of the crowd on the beach. Cyrano was amazed to see some kind of human and the items that were in front of him. He is interested in some things. The bow and arrow. He just saw those things.

"That's a weapon. Bow and arrow."

"Weapons? In our place, we only wear three-edged spears as weapons."

"On the mainland, you'll find all kinds of weapons, Cyra."

"Well, that's amazing!"

Cyrano walked over to a breadcrumbs. He touched some bread.

"This is bread, the main food of man in this place" whispered Medelline.

"What's delicious?"

"You want to taste it?"

Medelline bought a bag of plain wheat bread. Then, he bought a small jar of honey. Even though he spent a little money. He felt no loss, but he also got the money thanks to Cyrano.

Medelline asked Cyrano to sit on a bench. He taught me how to eat bread.

"Nake?"

"It feels weird, but not bad. I can still eat it."

"It'll be delicious with a few pieces of cheese."

"Cool?"

"Yes, but I don't have cheese."

"Oh, so."

Suddenly a boisterous voice sounded. The sound of musical instruments sounds simple. Cyrano.

"What's that?"

"It looks like a group of dancers are passing by. Do you want to see it?"

Medelline gently pulled Cyrano's hand, trying to rouse the crowd. However, the man was very careful, avoiding the water anywhere. Because when his body is exposed to water, instantly, his original form as a mermaid will be seen.

Cyrano and Medelline dissolve in the frenetic music of the merry dance troupe. Until they dance with the visitors happily. Laughing like no burden.

Medelline is very happy with Cyrano, and vice versa. He didn't want the man back home. However, he also does not want to do according to his ego. Worried if Merman was too long on land, eating would be wretched.

As the sun begins to turn orange, Medelline travels with Cyrano to the bay of Orelia.

"Today was so amazing. Thank you, Meddy."

"That's nothing. Stay longer, Cyra."

"If I could, I would. It's just, I can't."

Meddeline waved a hand just before Cyrano spouted out into the ocean. He took the clothes Merman was wearing that floated on the surface of the water. Sighing deeply.
