Since his return from Aunt Ray's house, Kehrani has been unable to close his eyes. He could not forget what he saw. Questions filled his mind.
Kehrani got up and walked towards the window of the room. His hand rose open the curtains featuring a glass window making it easy to see what was outside including Ray's swimming pool which was right in the middle of the house.
Keyrani's gaze focused on looking at the pool watching the man who had disturbed his mind was seen swimming. Several times Ray back and forth from the side of the pool until then He stopped at the edge of the pool.
Kehrani turned out of the room and walked towards the pond. There was no point in him to hold on to that.
"You haven't slept?" Ray asked as Kehrani arrived at the pond
Without answering Ray's question, Kehrani walked to the pool and then came down to Ray.
"Key" said Ray to pay attention to Keyrani who is now right in front of him
Keylani did not answer. His eyes were fixed on the necklace that was coiled around Ray's neck.
Ray who was aware of Keyrani's view immediately grabbed his necklace as if reluctant to show it.
"Why?" Lirih Keyrani "Why are you lying" asked Keylani in a sad tone
"Key" Call Ray and slowly release his grip on his necklace after hearing Kehrani's speech which means Kehrani already knows his identity. He then cupped the face of Kehrani "I'm sorry" Lirih Ray while fusing his forehead to Kehrani
"Why hide it from me? Why?" Keyrani said with tears slowly descending "I am always waiting for you, waiting for you to come to comfort me, hearing my grievances. Butwhy? Why did you go Brian" Kehrani continued, hitting Ray's chest
The Flasback
Keyrani who was cool to see the photos of Kanza's children accidentally made the photo album fall when he wanted to turn it over. When Keylani grabbed him a photo suddenly fell on the floor.
Keylani quickly grabbed it. But when he turned the photo. A very missed face was glued to the photo. The face she missed for 11 years.
He is Brian Carlos Redwoof. Little friend of Kehrani who once promised each other. The first person to break that promise.
After Brian's departure, Kehrani never stopped to come to his mother's house looking for and waiting for Brian's arrival. For 1 month Kehrani tried to convince himself that Brian would return but in fact many years have passed and Brian never came again since the day he promised not to leave.
One name on the photo is none other than Raymon Parveen Thessman. Seeing the name, Keyrani's hand slowly shook, his memory returned when Ray stopped him from reaching for his necklace while at his mother's house.
Kehrani was confused as to how to react. Should he be happy when he finds out his little friend who always awaited him is now right near him? But why do you feel disappointed? Perhaps he was disappointed that he had hidden his identity? I don't know, because at this time Keyrani is only confused with his own feelings are now mixed.
Flashback Off
"I'm sorry Key.. Please forgive me. Let me explain it to you" Ray pleaded and grabbed Kehrani's body into his arms
Ray's feeling was sad to hear Kehrani's words. He felt guilty for his little friend. The only words he could say right now were Sorry, Sorry, and Sorry.
Sorry for breaking his promise! Sorry for leaving him alone, making him endure all the pain! Sorry for lying and not being honest with him!
Ray patted Keyrani's shoulder trying to calm her down. After feeling a little calm Kehrani Brian took off his embrace and grabbed the nape of Keyrani "we go up first" Pinta Ray softly which was then embraced by Kehrani
Gaining the approval of Kehrani, Ray's hand went down and lifted Kehrani's body. Then get out of the pool and into the house.
The goal this time is not the room occupied by Kehrani but Brian's room. During the path Kehrani just fell silent without intending to speak. His head was deliberately turned to face Ray's chest.
A few moments later Ray arrives in his room and lowers Keyrani's body on the mattress. After that, walk to the bathroom to get a towel.
Ray came out of the bathroom with a towel in his hand. Then wrap Keyrani's wet body with the towel.
Ray's body fell to his knees before Kehrani. His head was deliberately rested on Kehrani's thigh. Once again Kehrani tears fell down his cheeks. His body trembled a little.
Realizing this, Ray's hand rose to wipe away Keyrani's tears. Can't see him crying anymore. His heart ached at the tears that came out of his friend's eyes.
"I'm sorry Key. I promise I will never leave you again" Ray cupped Kehrani's face as he looked into his eyes
Once more. Should Kehrani believe that promise again? A promise that broke his heart?
"You know, believing in someone's promise is the beginning of actual pain" Kehrani replied in a flat tone "I was broken by my biological father for the first time. When you came, I was really grateful that at least there was still someone I could go home to when I felt hurt from my father's treatment. But you just left without telling me first. And now, you come back and promise not to leave me? What can I expect from the same promise that broke me" Kehrani said
"No Key.. Don't be like this, I beg you" Ray pleaded with tears now streaming out. His body knelt hugging Kehrani's body.
Kehrani looked at the body of the man who was now kneeling before him with a body that was now slowly shaking. "Should I forgive him?" The inner Kehrani could not bear to see him cry like that
Kehrani was disappointed but deep down he felt happy and grateful because the person he loved today was none other than his little friend who had disappeared.
"Let me go" Pinta Keyrani then tried to take Ray's hand off
"No.. You can't leave before you forgive me" Ray said, not wanting to take off his arms
"I just want to go to the bathroom to change clothes. Unless you want to see me sick" Kehrani said
"Will not go, will you?" Ray asked to confirm once again which was then embraced by Keyrani. Then slowly took off his embrace on Keyrani.
After Ray took off his arms, Kehrani got up and walked into the bathroom leaving Ray still in tears.
