The next second, Lily's eyes began to dew. Her chest feels tight. Memories of seven years ago began to run in his head.
The Flash Back On
Seven years ago ...
From a distance, the sound of the school bell had already rang twice. That means Lily only had a one-minute chance to get to the school gate. Before Mr. Amat, the school security guard closed the school gate perfectly.
Lily tightened the backpack on her shoulder with both her hands. Without warning, the seventeen-year-old girl ran as fast as she could to get to the gate of her school.
"Don't till I'm late again. My name can be scratched from the school list." he muttered as he continued to run. Though where there is a name crossed off the list of schools. Hi.hi.hi..
From inside the school gate, he could see and hear the cries of his close friend who encouraged him to arrive at the school gate immediately.
The second bell has finished its work. Now the third bell starts ringing. The more the fog heard it. "Awas sir..over the deck.." cried Lily while running.
"Lilly! Buruan, a little more!" rafa shouted while cupping both hands into her mouth so that Lily could hear her voice.
"Lilly! If you're late again, today I'm not your treat in the cafeteria Bu Kokom, you know." Naya didn't want to miss yelling at Lily.
Hearing Naya's cry, Lily grew even more excited. Just before the third bell was over, another step could pass through the school gates. However,
Bruck...
Trreeet...
Lily's buttocks successfully smelled the asphalt along with the end of the third bell, closed the school gate, and locked by Mr. Amat.
He could only see the Supreme sir closing the gate weakly. While Mr. Amat gave his best smile while waving his hands towards him.
"Tomorrow don't forget to be late again. Excuse me, you go inside first." said Mr. Amat, then left Lily sitting in front of the gate.
"Welcome to my money!" shout Naya. He put his foot into the class. "Yuk... Fa, to class!" bring Naya. He pulls Rafa's arm with a little coercion.
Rafa could only shake his head. She doesn't think about Lily. Maybe he was too late for school.
Hearing Naya's screams made Lily want to slap her friend's arm. But if the power of the hand did not reach, he was still outside the school gate. "Dasarrrr!" scream Lily.
He tried to rise from the fall. He only realized why he could fall in the last seconds to reach the gate. He hit something that he himself did not know what he was bumping into.
His heart began to heat up. An angry feeling began to enter him. As he was about to rise, a hand was outstretched before him.
Lily looked up and looked at a handsome man. His eyes were as blue as the sky. He felt a moment of peace as he looked into the handsome man's eyes.
The man waved his hand. Lily awoke from her momentary daydream. "Sorry, Miss." the man said softly.
The man's voice was so masculine that it made him lulled to hear the man's voice. But immediately to his feet, he did not want to look fascinated by the man for the second time.
Lily grabbed that hand and stood up slowly. "I'm sorry. But I'm late again because of you! Where to wait in front of the gate for two hours" Lily said with a thin tone.
Though in his heart "Oh my God .. what dream I am. Very handsome nie guy. Bule anyway, *ish .. if every day hit by a gini cake anyway, I sincerely*. Late every day is willing."
The man glanced at Lily and smiled. "I'm Zack. Zack Alexander." the man again thrust his right hand to meet Lily.
Lily received a helping hand with a face that was made as blind as possible. "Lily" Lily answered. Lily also broke her hand. Zack raised next to his eyebrows. " Just Lily, sir. L-I-L-Y" Lily said with a contrived ketus.
Zack smile.
The Flash Back Off
But this time it was a little different. There was no hand floating in front of him.
Lily looked at the man in confusion. There are feelings of affection, longing, and anger. Everything is mixed into one. He cupped his right hand to his chest. He felt an abnormally high heartbeat.
He is Zack. His love of the last two years has disappeared. Now stand right in front of him with ordinary eyes. There was no love in those eyes.he could see it clearly. Even Zack doesn't seem to recognize him at all.
Crystal granules slowly descended on his smooth cheeks. The crystal grains glided smoothly without any obstacles.
"Sorry, Miss. Can you stand up?" ask a man standing next to Zack. The man is Zack's assistant named Leon.
It's not that Leon doesn't want to help Lily. When the woman hit her master. Leon wants to help him immediately. But his master forbade him. Leon was confused by his master's behavior. Zack has been very warm with everyone. But today is different.
Lily came to a realization with the question of the man beside Zack. His rational mind began to return, What am I crying for. He just doesn't seem to care about not even recognizing me. She brushed off all her tears and stood up slowly.
Lily tried to catch her breath to stabilize. He can't speak. He simply nodded and half ran away leaving Zack and the man beside him.
Leon sees Lily's departure full of question marks. "Isn't it just a crash. Why did he cry like that?." Leon muttered softly while looking at his master's body from top to bottom.
Zack raised his eyebrows. "I'm just wondering sir, what is your body today made of stone until she cries?" said Leon with ease.
Plastered
Zack clasped Leon's forehead hard. "Auw..sir...why even snap my forehead?". Leon rubbed his forehead slowly. Instead of answering, Zack instead stepped his feet into the room he was about to reach. Seeing his master leave. Leon could only catch up while stroking his forehead.
...✳️✳️✳️...
Pantry
Upon arriving at the pantry, Lily returned to crying. Fortunately, the pantry is currently empty so he does not worry about being seen with others.
Lily's confused. It feels like yawning. The man she loved forgot about her. For years he bore the burden of longing in his heart. Let alone the warm welcome, the warm gaze was nil he got from the man.
Tok ... tok ...
The sound of the pantry door being knocked on made Lily realize. He tried to catch his breath and wipe away the rest of his tears. Feeling that he was stabilizing himself, he walked towards the pantry door and opened it.
Rafa stood right in front of Lily. Rafa can clearly see Lily's face. "Gue's in?" ask Rafa slowly.
Lily smiled and gave way to Rafa to get into the pantry "If I say too, you'll still come in" Lily said. His voice sounded so hoarse after crying.
Rafa stood on the side of the table. Rafa feels sorry for his friend. Rafa stretched out both hands.
"Uch, airing.tayang..sini-here, acian," said Rafa who was deliberately modeled like a child.
Instead of getting a hug back from Lily, there Lily instead threw it with a chair cushion. "ish, I don't want to be hugged equally you." replied Lily with a tightness.
"Well .. it's donk. You can be angry. Rafa's brother is calm." said Rafa with a smile.
"What's? A brother? Isn't my ear wrong?" cry Lily while banging Rafa's arm.
Rafa fended off Lily's attack with his hand. Aware of the ridiculousness they do, they laugh.
