Prince From Another World
Short Message

I sat down at the study table while preparing the book that became the lecture material tomorrow. Well, the holidays are over. Time to get back to real life. The loud droughts of the cell phone shocked me. I picked it up and turned off the ringtone of the rocking message. I'll have to replace it later.

I opened the message that appeared on the phone screen. It was a message from Alex.

📨[Hi Riza, have you slept? I just wanted to say I'm really happy to be able to walk with you today. Next time we go together again, yeah!]

I smiled while reading the message. Then start typing a few sentences.

📨[It's ok! Maybe we can go on holidays, but not up hundreds of stairs anymore. Because I thought my feet would be sore the next day. It wouldn't be funny on the first day back in college to have to walk on limp, would it?!]

And send ....

Not long after the phone went off. Reply from Alex.

📨[That's because you rejected my offer to carry you. Hehe .... Then sorry to make your legs ache. If I were there, I'd massage it for you. Well, I don't want to bother you anymore. Take a break so that tomorrow can wake up with enthusiasm. Good night and sweet dreams!]

I'm not replying to Alex's message again. I put the phone back on the table and continued the busyness that had been delayed. Finally finished. I also went to bed.

From the window of the room whose curtains are still open. I can look up at the sky with the stars. This is why I'd rather sleep alone here than share a room with Sienna downstairs.

Twinkle twinkle little star ....

While humming the Twinkle Twinkle song, I pointed to the stars one by one. Then when I reached a star whose light was brighter than the other star, my hand stopped. His face appeared again. Wallace ....

I was lying on the bed, but it was hard to close my eyes. Wake up again in the face down position. I took the diary that was under the sleeping pillow. Open the blank sheet and start pouring out my heart.

...Among all the stars I see in the sky there is only one brightest. And among all the people I can meet, only you I can't reach. You're the brightest but I'm very hard to reach. I don't like to think about you. Because it tormented me. How can I stop thinking about you? If stars always appear every night!? I just wish there was an answer from the heart that still keeps hoping....

Huawei .... My legs are really sore. Before leaving for college I applied my feet with pain relieving and sore cream. It gives a cool effect so that it slightly reduces soreness. Although not powerful enough to eliminate the sore completely. Apparently Sienna also fared the same as me. Even so, the journey home and go to campus we still do it with enthusiasm. It's just that maybe it'll be more sitting still today.

The first day back to college was fun. Everything went well as usual. And certainly homework is ready to pile up. Because this is the end of the semester so you have to study more.

As soon as I got home I threw my body onto the sofa. The pain in the feet is not gone. Sienna was also lying next to me.

"Truly sore," he lamented while massaging his legs.

"Yes. I'm gonna take a little nap, hopefully it'll go away" I said, bringing my books upstairs.

When I got to my room I lay down and fell asleep quickly. So deep that the sound of the phone ringing a few times was not able to wake me up.

I woke up when it was late afternoon. My room is completely dark. I got up to turn on the lights and take a shower. Then dinner with Sienna and auntie. We talked for a while in the living room. Until 8pm I went back to my room. My feet are no longer so sore.

📨[Hi Riza, how was the first day back in college? Hope fun! How's feet? Does it feel sore? Mandy kept complaining about her sore feet all day. Even asked Justin to massage her. How funny! If you see it, you will laugh.]

I smiled to myself reading a message from Alex. Then press the reply button and start typing.

📨[My legs have been a bit light after taking a nap. I thought he was strong because he got to the top first. Haha .... He must be deterred and won't be there again.]

Then send. Alex's reply came shortly.

📨[Your guess is wrong because she really likes Green Hill. So, it's impossible to be deterred. Oh yeah, what are you doing now? Am I interrupting?]

I returned the message.

📨[No. It just so happened that there was no homework so I just had to prepare the textbooks for tomorrow.]

Alex's reply arrived quickly.

📨[Oh, actually I want to call you. It was night, maybe next time. You rest! So tomorrow is more exciting, okay! Good night and sweet dream!]

I'm not replying to her anymore. I put the phone back on the table. I got into bed. The window in front of me I accidentally closed the curtain so I could see the stars in the night sky. But tonight there are no stars. The sky became very dark, lonely, like my heart.

I pulled out the diary from behind the pillow and started writing.

┌──❀*̥˚──◌──────────◌──❀*̥˚─┐

...10 June 2013,...

...A night without stars in the sky. Even if they don't look, it doesn't mean they don't exist. Sometimes the clouds cover it so it disappears. Like my star, though I cannot see it, it always lives in my heart....

└◌───❀*̥˚───────────◌───❀*̥˚┘

I closed the diary and put it back under the pillow. Then go to bed soon.

...★━━━━PoV Wallace━━━━...

In the middle of a silent night, when all had fallen asleep into a dream. Eriza was also asleep. From inside the room0 the window curtain swayed itself like it was blown by the wind. And out of nowhere suddenly Wallace was already standing beside Eriza's bed. His eyes looked at the slumbering girl very closely. Slowly her cold hands caressed Eriza's head. As Eriza moved to feel her touch she retracted her hand. But the girl remained unconscious.

Wallace breathed a heavy breath. Seeing the girl who made him fall in love at first sight fell asleep soundly. He was eager to wake the girl up to talk to her, wanting to see her smile, but he couldn't do any of that. The girl who fell asleep in front of him would be surprised to see him in his room. Wallace could only look at him silently. He knew his heart was tormented but he could not fight destiny.

"Destiny is cruel!" his murmurs were almost inaudible. Then he disappeared without a trace.
