Walking Dreams
Ordinary Day

After three days after Alang did control, he still had not experienced a dream. Actually for Alang, the medicine given by the doctor Angga is no more as a sedative, the dream will definitely come again although sometimes a little longer than usual. But now, it was better that he did not think about it anymore, he tried to forget Carla's voice and the real touch that hurt in his hand at that time. Whatever is strange and strange in his last dream will he consider like the dreams of the past that usually come.maybe he will feel crowded, even with dreams that will come next. But this time Alang did not try to want the dream lost or think it was real. He just tried not to care and make his days like normal days.

"Eh.....?The reeds?! why are you here, isn't this your day off?"

A tall man with brownish skin and wearing swim trousers approached him while gulping down a bottle of soda. His face was full of wonder to see Alang look busy teaching children aged six years and above to learn to swim.

" Oh! senior, today's the red date and I'm feeling bored."

Alang said, then out of the pool because the teaching time was over. After all he arrived at the class hours will end.

"SORCH!!!! THANK YOU TODAY!!!! NEXT WEEK I'LL SHOW YOU THE RANK ONE MEDAL!!! YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME A GIFT!!!!"

An eleven-year-old boy waved his hand with a wide smile, making the entire pond notice him.

" Arghhhh.the boy was always running"

"OF COURSE!!! I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!!!!"

Erik was shocked by the voice of Alang who was not less loud .

" It turns out you can also scream that loud?!"

Alang just smiled, he did not know, he just wanted to shout just to encourage the boy who was full of spirit and was blazing to win. People turned to notice him more in disbelief, because for them the net to shout like just now was a rare thing.

"HAHAHA!!! ALANG BROTHER REALLY FUNNY? HAHAAHA!!!"

the boy laughed loudly, making the others unable to help out. Alang just fell embarrassed. At least he could forget a little bit about his worries.

" Want to eat together? your senior will treat."

Erik stopped Alang who was getting ready to go home. Of course, Alang agreed. both of them went to use Erik's car. Erik is a 28-year-old man who works at a local pool club called SEA. A simple name and obtained while playing in the sea. for Alang, Erik is a reliable swimming instructor and he respects it. In fact, many things about swimming are not known by him, he said, but Erik knows that.

" Okay, we've arrived! oh, please help me get the gear"

" equipment?"

Alang asked puzzledly, weren't they going to eat something at the beachside tavern.

" ah! I forgot to say we're gonna eat BBQ here"

" Eee..only the two of us?"

" aha! of course not. if only two with you I will be bored and tired because I will continue to be questioned"

Erik patted Alang hard on the back, then passed while carrying the equipment.

" well, your words are really rude..."

" But the fact is that it's so. fast, we have to arrange a seat and grill it"

"W-are you going to cook?! if so, I'd better just go home!"

Alang could not imagine how the taste of BBQ made erik, he had not even forgotten the taste of fried rice made by his senior one month ago when he visited the rented.

" HAA!!!? what if I cook?! Did you just reject my kindness?!"

" why? aren't my words clear?"

" You should eat it wal-"

" Oi!!! is the material complete?!"

Erik and Alang turned to the origin of the sound, and saw Wiliam - along with his girlfriend-, Jean, Aline and her manager - approaching while carrying some plastic bags. Alang let out a sigh of relief, as Erik did not demand an answer from him anymore.

"alright!! let's start eating. oii. chocolate! you didn't do anything to the ingredients, did you?"

Aline approached Erik with a full survey, then noticed the box containing the ingredients that were still neatly arranged.

"good!! that touch of yours does a lot of damage to food, you know that, right?"

" basic Aline!! you should be more polite to the older ones!!!"

" all right, you guys just clean up where we eat. make it well!? "

the men only complied when Aline spoke, indeed no one could refute him.Erik even called him "Magic Granny".

That night the sky was filled with sparkling stars, the sound of the waves adding to their excitement. The full moon is like chatting with them and sometimes laughing because of jokes that are so funny. Maybe their stomachs will only be full until midnight if they are happy.

" So, you two know each other?"

Alang finally asked after being curious earlier. Erik and Aline looked at each other and laughed.

" what's up? is there something wrong with my question"

Jean sighed, with a flat face she stroked her own head like a gesture. The frowning reeds confused not understanding.

"wahhh, haven't you known her all this time?" William asked in disbelief.

"didn't you say he taught you to swim first? you even showed me the picture?"

William again commented while shaking his head in surprise. Alang twisted his brain, recalling every memory that could answer his confusion. He only knew Eric five months ago. The first person to teach him how to swim?, after a while Alang remembered, his eyes were round while looking at the smiling Erik.

" BROTHER BALD!!!"

Excited Alang, he finally remembered, the man with the shiny head and a little annoying. Someone who was his first supporter. Alang really could not recognize Erik who was now. With his appearance of a thick moustache and thin mustache and not forgetting his beard makes the appearance of his youth much different from the current one. Of course, the two knew each other because they were close friends. But Alang's meeting with Erik did only last for three months, after which Erik went to the central city because of an offer from national swimming athletes.

" Woahhh!!! lunatic!!! Your alang is amazing hahahaha, he only recognized your bald head hahaha!!!"

Aline was really laughing, as were the others except Erik. He really regretted why he chose the head of the climist, sangking his love with the character of Saitama he did not care about the advice of people.

" Eehhhh.sorry senior..."

" Well it's okay, it's okay.just forget that gloomy past. "

erik said while holding his drink.

" After all why didn't you tell me from the beginning?!"

" Why is it...? maybe to reduce your curiosity.You know I'm not a smart guy, right? aaaa!- it is difficult to explain something like that hyx"

" Hehehe, sorry...."

They were so busy chatting that they didn't realize the clock was ten at night. Finally, in the delivery of Jean's car, Alang returned home. Moreover, the first person who invited him to eat also hitchhiked because of drunkenness, and had to leave the car.

"Thank you for today?!"

said Alang before the car drove away. Aline waved her hand with a smile.

" Of course!! we'll go again sometime ok!"

Alang nodded happily and waved his hand. Alang sighed, today was a little more tired, but he really enjoyed it. With a slightly flowery heart he stepped into the house, his parents were watching TV while drinking Coffee. After explaining why he came home a little late, Alang prepared to rest. After cleaning himself Alang immediately climbed his mattress and immediately fell asleep.The day is usually really fun.

" Today you're really happy"

said Carla, watching Alang who was sound asleep with a face so calm.

" I shouldn't have called your name in the first place..."

Carla was still watching Alang with a sad smile. His heart was so sick to see Alang who only saw him when injured. If only a pleasant dream could happen again. Carla was crying, her tears were filled with suffering as well as guilt.

"..... Had I not received your hand, not seen you or cared for me, this would not have happened. I don't need to call your name when I'm in pain."

Carla was still crying, she stroked the angel's face, then kissed her forehead.

" I'm sorry, I'll try to make you happy again..."

Said Carla Purau, then slowly her body became faded, her vision became blurred and dark. When he opened his eyes, the iron bars he used to see were visible, with the smell of the soil slightly moist, he was lying on top of Reok's bed which was so alarming. Her tears were still flowing and her chest was still so tight. That night, Carla just spent her long night with a heart-wrenching cry of grief.

He didn't care, he was in the cave and the man hadn't returned.
