Shall I stay? Would it be a sin?
"I hope that at this time the time stops turning, Gas" he said as he circulated the view to all corners of the sea that stretched wide before his eyes.
After we got tired of walking we chose to stop and sit side by side in a stretch of brown beige sand that was swept away by sea water
"I hope we are the forever word for you and me, Lis" said I who stared at the blue-colored expanse of water before my eyes
*Calista breathes heavily before saying anything
"Every meeting there must be a separation of Gas, either separated because of marriage, either separated just to be a life lesson" he said, smiling sincerely still staring at the expanse of the sea.
I turned to Calista "I'll stop if you ask me to stop" Calista's reflexes turned to me, making him freeze
"Sad you're the same as me?" tannya
"That's what you're worth to me"
Senjapun began to say hello to remove the sun strokes in space. Closing today perfectly. Enjoying the twilight with a person who is very meaningful in your life is a form of gratitude that can not be exchanged for anything.

From here we can see the whole city in miniature size. "Any star is good, Gas?" Calista asked as he turned his head up to look at the star-studded sky
"Yes, it's rare that we can see stars that almost fill the sky. Usually there are only a few" I said, raising my head
"I want to be one of them" reflexes I turned to Calista who still admired the sprinkling of stars in the sky.
"For what?" I wonder, still staring at Calista.
Calista turned to me "I want people to always smile happily when they see me, as if their burdens just disappear and listen to their hopes"
I smiled and looked back at the sky "It doesn't have to be a star to be seen and admired, Lis. So be yourself and show your strengths to be able to shine like a star. I should have"
"I was wrong?"
"Not really"
"Continue?"
"You just don't know if you're a star trying to shine. I'm sure the stars there will be envious when your rays are brighter"
"Agas?" Calista interrupted my words. At that moment I looked at him.
"Thank you. Thanks for everything. Thank you for staying with me even though you know I'm far from perfect" I wanted to make a sound but Calista prevented it.
The Agas Memories Off
***
The soothing aroma of what Axel brought was able to resuscitate Agas back from his daydream
"Now, drink first. Calista wouldn't like to see you kayak-" either"
Axel took a look at Agas from top to bottom as well as his haggard face especially on the part of his eyes that began to look dark circles like pandas.
Agas sharpen his eyebrows "Xel, if your presence only to increase the burden of my emotions, mending you back again just there!!"
Axel just smiled then pensively with Agas while enjoying a cup of warm coffee he just bought
"Maybe I haven't known Calista too long, but.. " Axel opened the conversation, this time he tried seriously.
Axel inhaled a deep breath and then exhaled "But I know what kind of person he is" Axel said as he turned towards Agas
"He was willing to sacrifice his life into danger, for the sake of the people he loved" Axel stared at his coffee cup and closed his eyes while sipping in the aroma of the coffee.
Agas again pensive, his little heart approves Axel's words and then sips a cup of coffee in his hand "That's Calista"
Axel nodded his gaze in disdain and recalled the memories of Calista. When I first met him until he was dragged into a complicated problem like this
***
In Axel Memories..
"How come it's still quiet? Which senate is it?" Ask one of them
"Belom on dateng Xel" replied Dira who had read the name tag of the guy and Axel just parroted form the letter O on his mouth
"You guys live on campus?" ask them
"Yes can not be spelled out Deket also Lis, quite 20 minutes if not jammed" while fixing the name tag that reads Marvel Herdato.
Then the silence between the four of us and the Awkward moment was created. Finally after an hour of waiting, the ospekpun took place.

The canteen..
"What the hell is it? Lo know? Because I got to spray this Arab-lombok girl" my mouth while putting food in my mouth. For God's sake because of Axel my mood was wiped out this morning
"Yeah. What the hell is lo Xel? Any issues?" Aldira asked curiously with the look on Axel's tired face and occasionally rubbed his face in frustration.
By the way, we were just the three of us on hand. Our other friends have classes
" A promise if this problem does not spread?" Axel said seriously.
I looked into his eyes in search of lies, but I could not find a single lie in his eyes. Eventually Aldira and I closed our seats and lowered the volume
"Lo can hold our words" I replied firmly. After that I heard a sigh of resignation from Axel before he spoke
"Hmmm.. Before you already know if I'm the same girl I was dating for a long time. Even from smp?" Axel started the conversation
" Yes, keep going?" Aldira was curious and we listened carefully to what Axel was telling us
"And a week ago I was almost engaged" unexpectedly Axel also lowered his face. Aldira and I just kept quiet and looked at each other
"Nearly mean?" Aldira asked impatiently
" Xell. Lo if the story is not half-why" I said gregetan
"Later I continue if I am ready and my feeling is calm I will tell you. So I beg you not to be as loud, huh? Before I tell you myself" Axel said, ending the conversation.
He picked up the bag and got up from his seat and left me with Aldira filled with question marks and curiosity
"Xels?" I said patting her shoulder. He just smiled and plugged the earphones into his ears and closed his eyes while leaning against the wall
"That mood needs to break Xel so you know that what you have is not entirely yours. Maybe God knows what's best for you, he doesn't love what you want but he knows what you need" I said as I left him.
Turns out Axel wasn't listening to any music he just closed his eyes and unexpectedly listened to what Calista said. It calms him a little.
Happy Reading's..
