The New Year Resolution
The next day is the last day of the year, before the year will change with the new year.
"Where are you going, Khai? It's night." asked Radit to Khaira who was preparing to wear a coat, syall, and gloves.
"I want to go downtown, I want to see the fireworks there" he replied in a still-sounding tone in Radit's ears.
"I'm coming...." Radit stood up from his seat, just like Khaira, he immediately put on his thick jacket and put on gloves.
Khaira is silent, reluctant to argue with Radit. At least the turn of the year he can go through with a little peace in the heart. Let go of her domestic troubles for a moment, forget for a moment the troubles in her heart, and welcome the new year which is only a few hours away with a little calm.
Yes Khaira does not expect grandiose things. He just wants peace in his heart and soul.
Khaira comes out of the apartment and Radit follows her. Where Khaira's footsteps are, Radit will follow. Although Khaira was only silent and his heart was also careless, but Radit was not disturbed in fact. The man continued to follow wherever Khaira went.
In the new year, Khaira decided to go to Piccadilly Garden, Manchester. In that place there is a giant ring called "The Wheel of Manchester." This building is an option for Manchester residents to enjoy the beauty of the city of Manchester from a height of approximately 53 meters. This giant bianglala on Marble Street is in the center of Manchester, adjacent to Manchester Cathedral and the National Football Museum.
Time has shown ten o'clock in Manchester time when Khaira arrives at jni's place. Until finally Khaira chose to sit on some stairs that are around The Wheel of Manchester.
Radit also sat beside Khaira, occasionally his eyes circulated, looking at the conditions on Marble Street which was already very crowded. Not only young people, middle-aged couples also gathered in the area.
"Want to see the fireworks here? Want to enjoy a new year's night here?" radit asked as he looked at Khaira's face. With his nose reddened, due to the winter in Manchester at that time.
"Hmm.." The answer is short. Even Khaira was still reluctant to look Radit in the face.
Feeling the dipper did not welcome, Radit finally sat down to accompany Khaira. Without trying to make his voice again, he was just afraid of mispronouncing it made the mood of the girl he loved was getting worse. The worst risk was that he was completely kicked out by Khaira. Sure didn't. Radit won't let it.
Khaira was still indifferent, he saw the situation of the city center that was getting crowded. Residents pass by non-stop, skyscrapers also preen with colorful lights. Some residents have even shouted "Happy New Year!"
Every now and then Khaira smiles herself enjoying the atmosphere of her first new year in a foreign land. Things he never imagined before.
Back when he was still in Jakarta, when the new year arrived Khaira just stayed inside the house watching television and eating grilled corn at home. Feeling the euphoria of the new year of the Capital City in the Hotel Indonesia Roundabout, Khaira has never felt it. But now he is in Manchester City. One of his dream cities, and being downtown ahead of the new year celebration is something special for Khaira.
While sitting down, Khaira pulled out the phone from her sling bag. Several times also Khaira capture the atmosphere around the Wheel of Manchester with his mobile camera.
From sitting down, Radit occasionally steals a glance at Khaira. His heart warmed to see Khaira's smile, even he was so amazed why the girl who was currently sitting next to him could easily be happy by observing the simple things around him.
For Radit right now, Khaira is his happiness. Khaira is the purpose of his life. As if the netra as close as night hers never get bored to look at a beautiful girl who is so easily happy with simple things.
For about 1.5 hours Khaira sat on the steps on the edge of Marble Street. Then Khaira also stood up, of course Radit swiftly also stood up.
Khaira stepped up to approach the giant ring that preyed with its glittering lights at night. As if knowing the movements of Khaira, Radit followed him and preceded him to buy two tickets to the giant reanglala.
"Please, give me two tickets (Please give me two tickets)" Radit told the ticket seller under the giant Manchester City ring.
Not long ago, two tickets to ride the Wheel of Manchester was already in the hands of Radit.
"How much does it cost? (what's the price?)" tanyakanya.
"One ticket is £9, so two tickets are £18 (one ticket costs 9 Pounds Sterling, so the price of two 18 Pound Sterling tickets)," he replied.
Ten minutes before the year changed, Radit and Khaira were riding the giant reed. Khaira tried to hold her breath, reducing the tension in her heart when the vehicle in the form of a giant wheel was about to run.
Greeekkk....
The sound of shaking from the vehicle he was riding at this time, as if to be a sign that the wheel will soon be rotated and played. Initially the wheel runs slowly, until finally it gets faster, and quickly makes Khaira reflex and her hands hold tightly to the chair pawn.
Seeing the cute expression on Khaira's face, Radit tried to hold back the laughter. The expression of fear and panic, and seemed indifferent was clearly visible on Khaira's face.
"Don't be afraid, once we get to the top we can see the City of Manchester from a height. We have nothing to lose seeing the frenetic turn of the new year from this Wheel" said Radit who honestly he just tried to divert the fear experienced by Khaira at this time.
Trying to calm down, even though in his heart Khaira was so afraid. The girl just held tightly to the chair pawn, without reluctantly answering Radit's words.
The giant bianglala was re-run and Khaira occasionally closed her eyes, regulated her breathing, and stabilized her emotions because honestly Khaira was afraid of heights.
By 12pm, crowds of people under the Wheel of Manchester began to shout. Twenty seconds before the turn of the new year, everyone there counts down from the numbers 20, 19, 18, 17, ... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
The Happy New Year!
All shouted calling for the turn of the new year accompanied by fireworks that adorned the sky of Manchester City.
Dooorr....
Dooorr....
That was how the fireworks sounded, emitting such a beautiful light.
From above the altitude, Khaira was stunned at how beautiful the turn of the year was. Ignoring his fear of heights, Khaira actually captured the moment with a mobile camera. Radit steals the opportunity and invites Khaira to take a selfie with her phone. Located above a height of about 53 meters and fireworks that make the sky of Manchester City so beautiful.
"Good new year, Khaira. With the change of years I hope we can both solve the thorny problems between us. My resolution in this new year I want to live with you, Khai... Let me stay with you... Please, let me stay with you. I have no other resolution, my only hope is you. Be the center of my life, Khaira...."
