Train opens his treasure box filled with inanimate objects that have sentimental value and also have a story. Through inanimate objects that he collected, the object told a lot of stories. Train picked up the red maple leaves and had dried up, Train stared at the leaves with an occasional deep sigh.
"Damians? You're where? How are you doing? Are you okay? Did we hurt you?" gumam Train looked at the maple leaves and his fingers twisted the leaf stalk with a twisting motion. Train was still in his room - the King's Apartment - and he was ready to go to school, Train waiting for Daddy and his Mommy to be ready to start his activities.
The arrival of Manuella and Diego informs her of her marriage, leading Train to remember Damian. The male figure who used to be there for him, became friends, became friends and Damian took care of him well. Devotes time, love and attention. Although Train never wanted to accept Damian as a father figure for him he could not deny that Damian loved him.
"If you were my Daddy, I'd lose a friend like Damian. Do you understand?" train muttered looking at the maple leaves he kept and for Train it was his memories with Damian.
Montseny Natural Park
When Train was six years old, the Esperanza School had a summer vacation in Montseny Natural Park. Annual activities that become a school routine there. Because Leyka was a teacher there, with Train, Damian, Manuella and Diego they spent time together.
Train was still in Playgroup school at the time, and this holiday was not intended for children who attended Playgroup level. But since Leyka is in charge of overseeing her students at the second level of elementary school and Train is forced to join her rampage that no one can control even Damian and Diego - which they usually do that can overcome the tantrums of the Little Devil - finally Damian, Manuella and Diego decided to vacation in the same place, namely, Montseny Natural Park.
A place for children to adventure and get to know nature that is far from the hustle and bustle of the metropolitan. They rented a villa adjacent to Leyka and made it easy for Train to be with his Mommy in the free time while Leyka took a break from school activities.
Trekking the woods, fishing, camping, and playing in the shallow river, Manuella, Diego and Damian introduce nature and all its contents to Train who longs for the figure of a Father. Diego and Damian filled it with all their affection. Teaching adventure, survival and being real men, they put a lot of value on Train, which should be Valentino's job.
"You know what, Train? Maple leaves have five branches that can be interpreted five elements of life in the world. Water, Air, Land, plants and living things. Without it, this world would be destroyed. There is no life" Train lamented by Damian's words. They were fishing in a river surrounded by maple trees. The leaves of the dried maple leaves are scattered around them.
"The si! I don't get it! Ahaha! Si I don't understand- But this maple leaf is- Um.. In the middle of this is me, on my right is Mommy and my Daddy. And to my left is Manuella's mother and Diego's father! Without them my world would be destroyed Damian! Ahahaha- isn't that what it means?" At that time Train pointed one after another protruding maple leaf fins. Damian laughed discordantly and Train recalled his words. Train could feel Damian's heart must have hurt to hear it.
"Si, same as that. But I have no place there. We're going to look for a maple leaf whose fins are six" said Damian, who sat on the rocks, starting to circulate his gaze at the time, looking for a six-finned maple leaf.
"Damian, you're here-you're the stalk without the stalk how do these leaves stick to the tree? If half of this maple leaf fin disappeared - let's just say Diego's father and Manuella's mother weren't in Barcelona - - how could Mommy and I grow and stick to trees when you weren't around. You stalk Damian. Without the stem the maple leaves would not grow" and at that time the word Train made Damian glassy even Manuella and Diego who were not far from them, very touched to hear it.
"Hahaha-- Si I'm the stalk!" damian said as he hugged and kissed Train with his discordant and raucous laughter.
"Because the stalk will hold the fins of the Mapel leaf and even if the fins of this maple leaf are my Daddy, you will still be important to me Damian" and at that time Train felt Damian's embrace getting tighter. Damian was unable to say anything more than hugging Train.
"Hey kaliann! Let's go fight the maple leaf" When Manuella approached him with a piece of trash in his hand, Train kept the leaf in his jacket pocket. Manuella throws at Damian and Train who laughs with screams. Manuella switched their conversation, in addition to not wanting to hear things that make her sad, Manuella also did not want them to ruin the holiday.
And the maple leaf wars ensued. They threw each other dry garbage scattered maple leaves. In Europe it is a game that is waiting for the summer before the fall.
May I ask for one more miracle for Damian? Can YOU make Damian happy? He was one of my miracles.. If there wasn't Damian, I wouldn't know much and my Mommy would have faced me misbehaving.. The mischievous Si--Blue Train.. But mischievously I got what I wanted, like my toy collection.. Uhs, Lo siento.. I'm naughty.. If YOU grant me, I won't ask for any more toys in a naughty way.. That's my promise.. I'll buy toys in a good way.
A sweet prayer was offered by Train that morning. Train placed the maple leaf, into his treasure box, close his mouth and rubbed his sore eyes. He put his treasure box under his bed.
Valentino's voice calling out to him made Train rush to snatch his bag and hat. The voice made his soul and heart cheer. Damian is important, but Valentino is Train's happiness.
"The one, Daddy! Blue Train, ready for school!" exciting Train ran while slamming the door of his room and looking for the source of the sound that made his adrenaline soar.
...***...
...MADRID...
Yesterday Night
That night where the Viscountess' election banquet was taking place, after Damian knew everything, at the Viscountess event held at the Spanish Royal Mansion, Damian left Barcelona. On the last flight, Damian received a ticket from a prospective passenger who delayed his departure.
Damian, who was injured, contacts Henry, Uncle Helbert's son, who is Pacho's best friend, Leyka's father. Henry is a childhood friend of Leyka's who rarely met but they were reunited in South Africa eight years ago when Leyka vacationed there.
And the relationship was woven into a sweet friendship between Leyka, Damian and Henry. When Damian wanted to shed all his burdens and wounds on what he experienced and the reality of Leyka's status, Henry was in Madrid.
By speculating that Damian was heading to the airport and buying a 'on the spot' ticket, the ticket was purchased in person and expecting an empty seat due to the delay of the prospective passengers and Damian getting it.
That night too. At 23:45 Spanish time, Damian arrived at Madrid's Adolfo Suarez Barajas International Airport, northeast of the capital's center. He headed straight to the Westin Palace Hotel where Henry was staying.
After telling Henry that he had arrived, Damian waited for him outside. He sits on the sidewalk by the road. The Westin Palace Hotel's luxury made Damian reluctant to wait for Henry in the lobby because all the material in the Hotel reminded him of the Royal Mansion that so hurt him.
Men crying? Yep! Damian wept all the way from the Royal Mansion to the Golden District, until a plane took him flying high and landed in Madrid even as Damian contacted Henry, his cries unstoppable. Manuella and Diego, who called him from outside the Royal Mansion at the time, ignored him. Damian kept walking and walked away.
He married Henry.. Leyka is married.. What I've done.. Henrys.. Hennry's.. I made a mistake.. Leyka had married in Africa without her knowing.. Henrys.. Haa.aatiiku.. David.kiitt Henry.. Trains.. L'm.. Loving her.. Aku.. Akuu kehilaa.. Semu..aa.aa hi.laa..aaang from my grasp..
Damian lowered his head and wiped his nose. He still remembered how he roared on his cell phone when he contacted Henry. Same question, why? Why, can everything happen? Damian's heart was broken. His eyes were swollen and his nose reddened, Damian was badly injured.
"You're here apparently. You wanna crash yourself, all right? Why don't you wait for me in the lobby?" Damian turned his head towards Henry who was standing straight at the exit. Henry's hair looks still wet with his face fresh because Henry went down to meet Damian, after he finished his bath. Damian fell silent and wiped his cheeks.
Henry sighed and exhaled violently, he walked towards Damian and grabbed the backpack that was next to Damian. Damian's face was really tangled and very messy, Henry shook his head at Damian's terrible state.
"I'll leave him in the lobby" Damian was still silent as Henry grabbed his backpack and carried it away. The noise of traffic in Madrid that is still crowded actually makes Damian a little calm.
"Let's have fun!" henry exclaims when he returns from the lobby and makes Damian stand up and embrace him.
OPIUM CLUB MADRID
The taxi stopped at a nightclub, one of Madrid's best nightclubs. Henry took Damian there, CLUB OPIUM. The night club design is colorful, modern and exclusive. The floor for dancing there is very spacious, and made of marble without having pieces. The stage used by the disc jokey (DJ) looks luxurious and magnificent. The best sound systems, state-of-the-art equipment and laser light games are ready to shake the heart of the Spanish capital every night.
A series of drinks are ordered, a series of snacks as a companion food is offered. Henry and Damian enter the club with music that stirs his young soul. They choose to stay away from speakers that clash like cannons, they enjoy the music and the atmosphere is so lively. The laughter, screams and shrieks of people dancing on the marble floor add to the perfect nightlife in the heart of the capital Madrid.
The bitter taste, bitter and hot taste of the drink Damian ordered as if not tasted on his tongue. Damian kept chugging sloki for the sake of sloki and Henry did the same. The difference is that Henry drank it calmly instead of with tears as Damian did.
"Can you let it go?" asked Henry to put a vodka glass in his hand and he grabbed the fries and devoured them.
"I should have listened to you, Henry! Her.. Ley.kaa-ku.. L'm.. Kehila.. Un.tukk sidelines.maanya.. Henrys.. L'm.. A.kan.. Missing Pu.traku.. Blu.uue.. Tra..aiinn" between drunk and crying mingled into one, Damian vented everything through alcohol that was somehow catchy.
The business of drinking alcoholic beverages do not underestimate the Germans and Russians, they are notoriously strong and not easily uprooted. If people generally only drink two double-shoots already drunk and even uprooted but the Germans or Russians need two bottles of vodka to get drunk to the extent of the overlap.
"He's not your son but it's good that you think of him that way" Henry said, patting Damian on the shoulder.
"How can I eat them.. I can't Henry.. Saa.kit once.. Pain Henry! L'm.. Loving Leyka.. Trains.. I love them" Damian emptied his vodka glass he gulped it down and he poured it again. Repeatedly Damian wiped his cheeks that did not dry. The circumference of his eyes looks like panda eyes, blackened with reddened eyeballs.
"I know it-you need time and not until when to heal the wound, but you have to make an effort. Because loving Leyka is a mistake! She's married, no matter how hard you try, she'll never be yours, even if Valentino's gone. Souls tied to African soil are hard to separate. Between the bonds of destiny and the curse of love blending into True Love is hard to decipher. Africans believe it - When Leyka is happy, can you be happy? Can you go back and look at her happily?"
Damian's getting sobbing, his chest feels tight. What Henry said made his heart turbulent, he became more resigned to his wounds, and Damian gave up, "Henry.. I can't go back.. There.very.. Painful.. I want to go back to Germany"
"You know, you can come back to Paris with me but after Manuella and Diego's wedding. They informed me and after my job in Madrid was done, I would take my leave and fly straight to Barcelona from Madrid"
"But.. L'm..No bis.saa" Damian turned to Henry and shrank his tears.
"You're going to be the photographer on the show. Manuella had a hard time contacting you after the Viscountess, they were so worried about you" Henry said, sipping his drink.
"Ba.how.. I'll find it hard to let them go if I come back" Damian finished the rest of his drink and then he put his head on the table by stacking his hands into pads. He closed his eyes, enjoying the music that was pounding.
"Damian, you're my best friend. I told you once.. If you get lost with your feelings, then go home and come back but as a friend. You don't need to apologize for your innocence, your carelessness only betrayed our friendship - you just need to put it all back where it belongs. I'm sure Valentino can understand and Leyka will definitely never choose you. Because from the beginning he never chose you. His eyes are not lighted, Leyka's eyes are always dim" Henry said, patting Damian on the shoulder to calm down.
The eyes were there and there were no lights, the language made Damian smile as the language reminded him of Train. Damian now knows that Train's language is the upbringing of Henry in judging a person. Damian recalled, Henry had used the language long before even knowing Train. Suddenly he missed Train and he wanted to come back.
Between the space of consciousness, the space of grief, the room of selfishness, the space of illusions because of his alcohol, Damian thought of Henry's words. Damian's heart was broken to pieces. Tears rolled back down her cheeks. Damian swallowed his saliva bitterly but it was hard, only alcohol was able to push him a mouthful until he felt nothing.
Crazy friendship, Damian who was hurt, Damian who was heartbroken, Damian who ran on alcohol, finally Henry just fell like a broken man. Damian can still walk even though staggering. Henry has to turn to the hotel clerk to take him to his room, while Damian has to walk in shock following the unconscious Henry.
As they exited the elevator, Damian saw a woman who was crying by clutching a cell phone and clinging to her ear. The woman scatters, cursing at someone across the porch of her phone, staggering her way while looking for something in her bag every once in a while she drops the key card, which is a large room key and the shape is about the size of a business card. Repeatedly the woman fell, to crawl picking up the contents of her bag that fell.
"You liar! You trickster! Why did I go to Madrid! What am I going to this Siallan town for! You trickster! You're liar!" the woman tearfully and tried to get up. The woman was drunk just like her, Damian thought.
When Damian arrived near the woman, Damian caught the body of the woman who fell back and crashed into her. The woman in the red dress, looked messy, her hair was even shapeless. Mascara, her eye liner and lipstick are no longer where they should be.
"You fraud! You liar! Where's my key card! You're liar!" The woman encourages Damian by scolding him but the woman slams back at him. Damian sees the woman's phone is actually inactive but the woman turns out to be calling on an inanimate object. Damian smiled seeing it.
"Where's your room I'll take you.. Ahh yes.. I never cheated.. I never lied" Damian poked the woman's nose
"This.. These.. My key card. These.. This is his daughter's room.. Where am I" The woman handed me two key cards and threw them away and Damian took them. Damian took a quick look at the room number written on the keycard and pointed the woman in the opposite direction from Henry's room.
"You got a princess?" damian asked by walking around embracing the woman. Just as the blind lead the blind, the drunk leads the drunk. They walk around and around forming a zigzag pattern because they look for room after room that matches the number listed on the keycard.
"No No.. That's daughter.. I'm her nanny.. I'm considered his nanny.. All men are jerks.. All tricksters.. All liars" The woman beat Damian in the chest.
"But you're married, Baby.. You're married" Damian said with blurred vision. In his mind was just Leyka and Train so he saw the woman was Leyka.
"No No.. I'm not married.. You're a liar you're a fraud" The woman's eyes closed and pulled Damian's ears.
They kept walking, occasionally they split up and hit door by door to attach keycards, then they walked back by embracing each other.
"You've got a son, Baby.. You have, Train" Damian said, poking the woman's nose. Damian still felt that the woman was Leyka.
"No No.. It was a cat" said the woman, wiping away the rest of her tears, until the hidden beauty was imprinted on her face.
"Haha.. So that.. You mean your daughter is a cat? You're.. Rich woman until you can.. Carrying a cat in the hotel" Damian laughed.
"Yes, it's a cat! But you're a liar! You're not in Madrid!" said the woman by pushing Damian and then sticking his keycard on the door. The sound of the key card machine on the door is on and that means they arrive in the right room.
"I'm right here.. Baby, I'm here" Damian whispered to the woman's body, which he thought was Leyka's but she just wrapped her arms around Damian's neck.
"really.. Is correct.. You're here" and the door opens, until both bodies are pushed into the room.
"Baby, I miss you"
"I miss you too, Mi amor" The door sounded closed, as the voice of the two disappeared into the night.
