Ettrama: The Secret In Love

Like the day before, I remain here looking up at the sky and reminiscing about the twilight, living each day wishing you back with the promise you made before you left. I sat on the white sand, I looked at the sky, which had a brownish color with an orange gradient with a slightly red mixture. The breeze make my body cold

today I'm back here again where the last time that promise was made. "How are you there? Are you okay? Are you happy? How happy are you there leaving me alone here ?." His tone sounded sad, and tears slowly flowing. About her endless longing, about her unspeakable hopes.

"Why? Why is fate so cruel to play with me." The wind hit his brown hair, like singing and hugged tightly.

The cold does not leave pain, just stop by and let go. A bitter smile spreads across my face, it's been 6 years but for a second I can't help but think of you. too many memories scratched, too many memories to scar every corner of my heart.

You went too far even I couldn't reach it, you drowned me to the bottom. you leave me when my breath is always hostile say your name. You lead me astray without knowing the direction to go home, and you disappear like an imperceptible wind.

"Aarrrggghhhhh !!!. " The man shouted loudly, too loudly but was unable to get rid of the longing.

He strokes his hair coarsely, the world is too cruel for him. "Hey? What's wrong with you? Why are you screaming like a foal lost its mother" asked a woman who suddenly was beside the man.

I turned to the source of the voice, and how shocked I was to see the woman. she isn't my secretary? how can she be here ? and why from many people I have to meet her , in my sad state like this. she seemed silent confused watching me, it seems she did not realize that this is me the boss.

Yes, maybe she won't notice, my appearance is different now, with slightly messy hair, no big glasses anymore, no backpack anymore. Wearing a plain white shirt with white shorts.

Actually I'm too lazy to show my appearance to other people, besides my ex-wife and my family of course."Hey? Are you listening?" she asked while waving his hand in front of my face, and immediately brought me out of my reverie.

"Yes, I'm fine" I answered casually and turned to face the other direction.

"Here" she said, making me turn to her, I frowned in surprise at his point.

"Wear this" she handed me a white handkerchief.

"Wipe your tears, you look pathetic with a face like that." she smiled, a smile that was quite calm.

" Yes, thank you." I said and took a handkerchief that was given by her, I immediately wiped my tears. I really feel ashamed when he sees me like this.

"What are you doing here at this time, crying of course and screaming like that?" she asked me curiously.

"Nope, Nothing." I replied lying. after all, if I tell the truth its not her affairs.

"Emmm really? You're really funny when trying to lie like that". she said to me with a small laugh, I was confused how to respond to what she said.

Finally I turned my gaze towards the beach and saw the water that hit my feet calmly, I did not answer his statement, I thought just let him think of me, but I also don't care what people think about me.

"Isn't it beautiful in the evening on the coast?". she asked me, looking in the same direction as me.

"Eemmmm". I muttered a little, confirming his words.

"Do you like water on the beach like this?". she asked me.

"No" I replied simply.

"Why?" she asked me again, I was getting embarrassed by his question, it seemed he was too curious about other people's lives.

"don't you know, the water is always drowns you" I told her.

"Really? You hate water because can drowned? You're so cute" she giggled amused at my answer, what's funny inside me. Are those words a joke? Looks like this woman is a little out of her mind.

"You know? Water is able to drown, its liquid form is almost untouched, even though it can only be accommodated not in a handheld. But Water never betrays Nature. Water flows according to its nature from the highest place to the lowest place. If humans use the water principle he will not betray the Earth which has been willing to accommodate it, because according to him when someone has believed in us, we must maintain that trust". said, smiling at me.

"Well? Then? Why is water able to create tsunamis and floods everywhere?" I asked a little annoyed.

"Because the tsunami is nature's own plan, where the earth shifts due to erratic changes, water only plays a fair role in that change, and floods? Don't you know that the cause of flooding is the act of humans cutting trees and littering? Water is just not willing Nature is have kept it in the dirt by their hands, therefore Water only cleanses it. Believe everything that has happened in this world is the destiny of nature. what is lost, what grows, what develops have all been written in a natural destiny, do not be regretted and questioned, live what is now because what we determine today will change tomorrow". she told me, she looked into my eyes with a smile, I was stunned because of the story he told just now.

Why does she seem to know that I blame fate? I didn't realize my lips were pulled up and curved I smiled when he showed me his smile.

"Thank you," I said.

"for what?." she asked in surprise.

"For your story," I said and turned my gaze to another direction.

she just said "Ohh" when i looked back at her, she sincerely told the story without burden.

Reista smiled when the man next to her say thanks for the story she told, she didn't know why she told the story his mother had told him when she went on vacation at the beach when she was a child.

But his heart said that he was a good man, but it seems he is very fragile as evidenced when he cried earlier.

But if Reista noticed it was like she had seen him. but Reista forgot where she's meet him. Reista only caught a glimpse of his face and started looking at the sea again.

"Emmm... by the way, we have talked a lot but I don't know what is your name?" I asked her.

"Eh ... That .. my.. Name..?" The answer was a little nervous, what's wrong with him I just asked the name but his attitude was like being caught stealing.

"Yes, your name? What if I introduce my name first, I'm Reista Anyelir Wiltson " I said proudly, I stretched my hand to him he returned my helping hand.

"Me? My name is Gerarld, yes Gerarld" he answered me.

"Oh... that a nice name" I said to his with a smile, I don't know when I saw his face I always smiled, he was fun, I thought, even though he was a little talkless but never mind.

"looks like I have to go." he said, glancing at me.

"Yes, me too. I'm ready to go to home like you too". I replied he turned around and slowly began to move away I only saw his back disappearing. He is quite a pleasant man according to Reista, I hope she can meet him again..
