Asia was silent on her bench. He remembered the time he met the stranger. Standing behind her without a word. What does that mean? And also before he left the place, a fold of paper was dropped into the street just like that. Asia is still thinking about it. Then Asia unfolded the paper dropped by a foreign man yesterday. It says an invitation to meet him at a place. This is very strange according to Asia.
"Why did he invite me to meet? I don't even know her. And I guess that time was the first time the two of us met."
Asian Gumam.
Asia folded the paper back and put it in a bag. Vika and Sarah, who are close friends with Asia, come to him. The two of them asked about her who had been silent since she had just entered the classroom. Asia only responds with a smile and considers herself to be fine.
Then the bell rang and the class began.
During the lesson time, Asia occasionally thought about the man she met yesterday. The thought also disrupted his focus on learning. And curiosity slowly began to be felt. However, on the other side of Asia tried to eliminate his thoughts on the Man.
"I don't want to remember it too much. But why is this thought such a shadow over me?"
His whisper.
At rest. Asia with Vika and Sarah sitting casually under a tree while eating their own provisions. Interspersed chat makes them at once enjoy the atmosphere at that time. And while Vika and Sarah were still busy chatting, Asia was silent for a moment as if thinking about something. That thought, the same thought came again surrounding his head.
"Why am I thinking about it again ?"
Asian murmurs in the heart.
Vika and Sarah who had been busy chatting immediately turned to look towards Asia who seemed to be covering her eyes with one hand.
"Why Asia? Are you feeling any pain?"
Ask Vika.
"No.. I'm okay."
Reply Asia
"All right then we go straight to yuk's class."
Take Sarah to two of her friends.
Classes in the next lesson.
Asia began to focus on her lessons. The focus lasts until near the last lesson hour.
Too bad in the last lesson, Asia was unable to maintain her focus. Again his thought of the stranger appeared again in his mind. Due to her unfocusedness, Asia gets a punishment which also happens to be the teacher who teaches at the last hour is the teacher "Killer".
Asia wrote a 20-page apology sentence.
Vika and Sarah feel sorry to see her friend get punishment from the Killer teacher. They both wanted to help her, but Asia rejected their good intentions.
"It's okay. It's my fault.You should go home first. I'm sorry I can't go home with you guys this time."
Asia lowered her head for a moment and continued her writing activities.
Vika and Sarah were alone after Asia said that. And the class was quiet with Asia the one who lived there.
The afternoon sky with its distinctive color is visible, as well as the sunlight that penetrates the classroom glass window.
With just a few more sheets left, Asia began to speed up her hand movements. This is exhausting according to him, but the name of punishment must be mandatory.
Finally after some time, Asia finished serving her sentence. Then he went to gather the apology to the teacher's desk who gave him the punishment. After that, Asia went home. The school is starting to get quieter. There were only a few students waiting for an invitation.
Asia is coming home on foot. On the way he took the time to buy a drink, then continued walking. Asia who had been walking without any thoughts, immediately realized something. This time he was near the train. The shadow of the foreign man instantly appeared in his mind. Asia was pensive for a while until the Train passed in front of her. After that the train bar opened. His feet slowly passed through the train. After arriving across the street. Asia immediately picked up a paper that was in her bag. He saw the contents of the paper. Then walk following the instructions that have been listed.
"I don't know what the purpose is. But my curiosity is becoming more and more. And also this thought is already stuck in my head."
Asia talks down the road.
After walking down the street as directed, Asia found a building that did not fully stand intact. The building that felt old and long abandoned made him feel there are things that are not good.
"I feel bad. Is this a trap? What don't-don't..."
Asia turned around and began to step away from the building.
Suddenly there was a voice behind him. Like a voice calling. Asia who still felt uncomfortable was looking slowly back while stepping away from the building.
There's no one. The atmosphere feels scary. Where the day is getting late.
"I have to get out of here."
Her speech.
Not long after that the voice calling came again.
"Hey.. Right here! Why are you getting away?"
The foreign voice sounded.
Asia is silent. Fear filled him.
"Punish me! I don't know what's wrong with you. But please don't haunt me!"
Asian Speak Hard.
There was a sound of laughter after Asia asked for mercy. Asia sat down while covering her ears.
"Come here.don't be afraid. You may not see me because I'm up here."
The word of the foreign voice.
Hearing that, Asia immediately looked up at the building. Surely there's someone up there. Asia doesn't know how to respond. But clearly his fear was beginning to subside.
Asia walks up the building through the stairs. The ladder had already been some parts collapsed, so he had to be careful through it. Arriving above, Asia finally met again with the person she met at that time. He is that foreign man.
"Sorry to scare you. I didn't mean it that way."
Asia said nothing. He still stood looking at the man with a displeased look. Then the man told him to sit in his designated position.
Yes, that position is close to the man. But still Asia could not see the face of the person who had frightened her earlier.
They sat on top of the old building. The atmosphere is so calm because the location of the building is a little far from the center of the crowd. Only visible railroad tracks and city buildings that are far away. Asia was still waiting for what the foreign man wanted to talk about. The stranger seemed silent as if he was thinking of something. Since Asia did not want to waste any time by sitting and silent, she immediately asked what the man wanted to say.
"Hey... What do you want to talk about? I can't just be quiet without clarity like this."
Asia said while glancing at her interlocutor.
"Sorry.. I just don't know where to start this conversation."
The man scratched his confused head.
Continue Asia.
"the essence? Alright.. I don't know if you accept it or not, but I want to..."
The man spoke, Asia immediately told him to stop for a moment. He did stop talking, but Asia had already thought of the sudden feeling.
"What don't-don't he... Want me to be her boyfriend?! All of a sudden like this?"
Thought at this moment.
The man was astonished. And ask if Asia is okay? Asia looked in the other direction.
"Can I continue? Or is there something you want to tell me?"
Ask the stranger.
"Ehm.. I don't know you.. And this too suddenly.. And now you..."
"Yes.. It seems we have never met in four eyes. And this too suddenly.. Then I want you.."
"Want me?!"
Asia suddenly interrupts.
"Yes. I want you to.."
"I can't. It's too fast. Even we just met this time."
Said Asia while looking down.
"So you don't want to?"
"I'm sorry...But I can't suddenly be your lover."
"Huh? Whatchu mean?"
Foreign men were astonished by the word Asia just now.
Asia fell silent and straightened her gaze towards the foreign man. It felt like there was a misunderstanding in this conversation.
"Don't you want me to be your girlfriend?"
Ask with a stammer.
The man laughed at the misunderstanding made by Asia. Asia was embarrassed by the man's laughter. After a laugh that was quite satisfying, the man immediately denied the Asian thought.
Then the man continued the previous conversation.
"I asked you to come here to do something. So are you willing to do it? but not as you thought it was."
Say the Man.
"Can you tell me what to do? I can't take it for granted without clarity, can I?."
Reply Asia.
"alright. So I asked you to find someone. He lives in this town. And here's the picture, too. Are you ready?"
A photo was given to Asia.
Asia looked at the photo given. He did not know the person in the photo. It looks like it's still the same High School as Asia. Then Asia asked her identity such as name, school, to home address. However, the man did not know his detailed identity. He only knew the face of the man.
"Didn't you know him?"
Ask Asia.
The man nodded. Then ask Asia's willingness to accept the request or not. It took a few minutes before Asia decided.
"Wait for what's the goal? And if I help you, what will I get later ?"
Asia confirmed.
"you'll get something interesting."
The man said as he stood up from his sitting position.
Asia seems to be in doubt. Feeling the doubt experienced by Asia, the man tried to convince her back. After that he told Asia to go home because it was getting dark.
"really.. It's getting dark, then I'll go home first."
Asia says.
"Did you accept it?"
ask the man again.
"Looks like. And it should also be that when you talk to someone, you should pay attention to your opponents!"
Asia's strict with the foreign man.
"Hahaha that's okay."
"What's okay?! Oh, by the way, what's your name?"
Asia curious.
"Name? Does that matter?"
He said with a small laugh.
"Yes. The name is important to humans. Don't say anything weird. So what's your name?"
Asia asked again.
"Call me Jim"
Cheeked a big smile.
"Jim's? All right, I'll remember. See you later, Jim."
Asia waved her hand, then walked home from the place.
