Trapped in the Past
Sunset

That afternoon on a slide in the playground, Ruri and Dion sat together watching the afternoon sky.

The sound of crickets began to air, the atmosphere of the afternoon was getting colder. Fortunately Ruri was wearing a jacket and trousers, until the coldness of the afternoon was not too piercing her bones.

He saw Dion again. The man continued to look ahead from now on, did he not get tired of waiting for the sunset like this? Ruri is caught off guard and wants to go home, but considering that Dion has been waiting for her for an hour at his house, Ruri undoes her intentions. Count as his apology to the man.

The sun slowly moved down on its resting place. Dion's eyes sparkled as the orange glow of the afternoon swept across his face with Ruri. He immediately told Ruri about it.

"Ruri, look at the sunset" cried Dion.

Ruri looked at him normally, until this moment there was nothing 'special' like Dion said earlier.

Throughout the slow moving time delivering the big glowing ball to his resting place, Dion's bead did not turn in the slightest to look at Ruri's face. It was of course inviting to ask, whereas before he looked very waiting for the sunset, but after the time came his eyes that did not glance a little more to there.

The moonlight appeared, the day was completely dark now. Ruri can't take it anymore, their meeting this afternoon was completely dregs.

"so, what's special? As the sun began to set and disappear, there was not the slightest bit of privilege" said Ruri at the time.

Dion chuckles. "Sorry to upset you so much. I'm a really boring guy, aren't I?"

"I don't need to be clear, you're self-conscious. Thank goodness," murmured Ruri.

Instead of being annoyed by the accusations, Dion smiled even more. From behind the moonlight, faintly visible rows of male teeth as his smile expands.

Without speaking, Dion invites Ruri to leave from there, taking her under the garden lights. There they could see each other more clearly.

"The special moment at sunset can only be seen by me" said Dion, with the garden lights illuminating them.

Ruri still doesn't understand.

"When the orange glow of the big glowing ball hits your face, it is caught by the twinkle of your eyes and as your long hair slowly flies in the wind. Very beautiful, you are very beautiful and captivating. I believe, just by blinking, you are able to attract many other men out there, many days" Dion said with a smile on his face.

Ruri was again struck by a strange taste in the chest. His heart seemed to explode hearing the beautiful words Dion likened to him. Seeing that man's smile was like sweet sugar attacking his head. Ruri sure enough, this is not an overreaction. It's like .. falling in love. Does this really feel like this? Torturing and happy at one time. It was like something was about to explode in his heart.

"Who cares about that. I am still a rude girl who is hated for her attitude. You're overreacting." Ruri doesn't want to fly too high.

"If I may, I want to hold your ladder, hold you to the chest of my midsection. To let you know that my words just now were not an appeal, but a reality. However, unfortunately I can't do it because your father won't allow it. I knew that and never intended to do that in the first place." Dion chuckled for a moment recalling Roland's serious expression when revealing that to her just a moment ago.

"You're the opium that makes my heart so ambiguous. Happy and sad at one time I was made just because of your smile. Your eyes are wry, clear, soothing. Your voice is like the wind this afternoon, sweeping away. The strands of hair that were fluttered by the wind were dazzlingly beautiful jewels. Everything about you and whatever you have is so beautiful art that I'm sure no one can paint it."

Ruri's frozen, there's nothing to argue about. Dion and those beautiful words, hypnotized him instantly.

"So .. let's go eat, I heard your stomach rumble from now on" Dion asked suddenly.

Ruri held her stomach, she just remembered that from returning home from school there was not a mouthful of rice she ate. The girl completely forgot. The calm and a little romantic atmosphere between them collapsed instantly. Ruri's heart hung, she didn't know whether to be happy or sad. I don't know what Dion feels about him Ruri also has not been given an explanation.

"Gue wants to go home, it's night!" ruri protested, Dion was already waiting for him on the bike.

"I've asked your father's permission. He let me take you for a walk and a meal, before eight o'clock." Dion lifted his thumb, he looked so happy to say that.

Ruri cackered. "Papa said that? Strange, lest papa I be slapped with you!" the strangeness.

***

To the glasses girl, something like this meant nothing. He did not mind it while he could fill the stomach that began to feel sore.

"See this. I photographed it without you noticing."

Dion showed me the photo of Ruri he had taken earlier. There are several and the position is the same. Ruri's face was sideways, pensive at the sunset.

Ruri did not react any more. "ugly. Delete the photo" he said.

Dion shook his head. "Can I keep it? I'm not gonna do anything weird. If possible, let me keep this photo, "please.

Ruri nodded. Until this moment he believed in Dion, moreover .. he himself did not realize that he had fallen in love with the man.

"What about your family, Dion? Lu hasn't told you anything about yourself except your drawing talent."

Dion suddenly listens to the question. His eyeballs were agitated, Ruri stopped eating him. Did he say the wrong thing until the originally calm man acted strangely like this?

"Feed your meal faster, Ruri. It's getting night. I don't want the night wind to hit you more. Because we use bicycles, we're vulnerable to getting the flu."

Dion switched the subject, he focused on eating food without glancing at Ruri again after that. Ruri has signs of understanding. Maybe this is not the right time for him to know Dion more deeply. There is still another day, Ruri thought.

A long and slightly romantic day with Dion manages to get Ruri through. In the room he vented the happiness he had endured from the beginning Dion took him on a bicycle. He hit the pillow non-stop, until the foam that filled the object flew into the air. Only then did he realize his actions were overreacting.

"Crazy, falling in love is crazy! I almost died because of this happiness I was enduring!"

Ruri recalls every sweet scene with Dion. The man's smile, his beautiful words and what Ruri liked most about him was Dion's attention. Ruri feels like she is the luckiest human being in the world because she was treated special by Dion. However, his happiness is gone, considering that Dion is only seducing and boasting, Ruri is curious if the man feels the same way as her? Is Dion in love with her? Dion hasn't said anything about it.

His phone vibrated, Ruri grabbed the object on the nightstand.A message from an unknown number was instantly read by him.

[It's me. Thanks for the phone number.]

Without asking much more, Ruri could already guess who the sender was. Dion Andesta's. They also sent messages to each other until Ruri fell asleep while holding the phone that was still on.

In the morning, Shanala caught her son chatting with Dion. He smiled when they delivered him in his youth, at that time Roland was also bucin like Dion with Ruri. Unbeknownst to Ruri, her mother knows a lot about her and Dion.

The following days after getting to know Dion was happiness for Ruri. She was always looking forward to meeting Dion at school, hearing his heavy voice, seeing his sweet smile and looking at the constant drizzly hair on the neat comb to the side. All of that became opium for Ruri.

They are getting closer and closer every day. Because Dion spent a lot of time in Ruri's class, she looked like a student. His class is next door.

The relationship with pleasure between Ruri and Dion went on for a long time without being named. The turbulent feelings of pleasure between them were untitled. Until they move up to grade 2 Junior High, two months after the new semester is run. Alita had just lost her father, and according to plan one week after that she would start a side job as a cafe employee.

"I'm so sorry for the calamity that has befallen you, Alita," said Dion lethargic.

Alita smiled, throwing out all the wit on her face. Despite knowing the girl's eyes were still damp and wet. "thank you. In a few days I went to work, I can't wait! It turns out that Kagami was accepted there too. It's fun to have friends!" He cried out, comforting his heart.

Those who saw his behavior felt happy. "Where are you going to work in the cafe?" dion asked, glancing at Alita and Kagami alternately.

"Fresh shop cafe. Next to the city park, it was not far from the school. The plan is after school we will go straight there," explained Kagami.

Hearing him Dion's face suddenly turned pale. His expression was lethargic and afraid to mix one when he heard the name of the cafe called. The eyes that had originally sparkled suddenly were full of fog that anyone could see.

"Why, Dion?" ruri asked curiously. "is something wrong?"
