The Part 21


The lights in the room slowly dimmed, and the old\-long became extinguished. Meanwhile, the light from the movie screen began, replacing the lighting. The overwhelming majority of people\-people's views in the room focus on the screen. The rest, some are still busy with their phones, meaning snacks, even sleep.


“Jhia, for the dong of his drink, we thirst behind.” I heard Cyra's voice from behind asking for a drink.


“Oh yes, this.” I saw Jhia thrusting some drinks back.


“I also,” connect Ruhan. Jhia gets one drink for Ruhan.


“Thanks.” Ruhan developed a sweet smile while receiving a drink that Jhia had taken.


“You don't want to drink By?” ask Ruhan.


“No,” sahut kak Alby brief.


“You guys, I'm not thirsty,” continued Brother Alby.


“You Ryn? Want to drink no? Don't be shy, if you want to drink there is still kok.” Ruhan changed to offer me.


“Let's go, I'm not thirsty,” reject me while smiling a little.


“Not thirsty? Not because Alby doesn't drink, you don't drink. Can I get it?” bargain Rouhan.


“Eh, no need. I'm really not thirsty yet, not because Alby's sister doesn't drink,” I refuse.


“You are understanding each other well. I'm starting to envy you By.” Ruhan patted Alby's shoulder.


“In a relationship it must understand each other, and compact. Isn't that Jhia? You will also understand Ruhan right?” Alby's sister now turned to look towards Jhia. After hearing Alby's question, Jhia seemed nervous to answer him.


“Iya, right. I'll also understand Ruhan, he's a good man.” There was a forced smile on Jhia's lips.

After watching a movie in the cinema, we went to dinner at a cafe located not far from the cinema location. The place is simple, but quite crowded with young people who fill the place. There is musical entertainment bandnya also enliven the atmosphere. Since the inside was almost full, we chose a seat in the outer courtyard. The atmosphere is more delicious, plus you can see a clear sky decorated with thousands of stars that blink. The moon did not want to miss, he also shone to decorate the night sky.


*Come when you cry


Tell me everything you want


Trust me I'm your man


Maybe my hug isn't as warm as dusk


My words don't wipe away tears


But I'm here as your man*


I am the one who hugs you tightly


When you think it's possible to turn away


I'm the one who calms the storm


To stay strong you walk later


Band vocalists chant song lyrics with full of entertainers. When I saw them play, it was like Kenzhi was up there. In the past, during school holidays, Kenzhi often performed in cafes with his club band mates. She also sang a song like the one I now hear when I'm with me. I became dissolved in the song, like I experienced the story in the lyrics of the song. The band's vocalist voice also sounds like Kenzhi's voice when singing first. Really exactly, like there's no difference.


*What you have really decided


The lifeline you have found


You chose me as your man


I am the one who hugs you tightly


When you think it's possible to turn away


I'm the one who calms the storm


To keep you strong you walk later*


I'm getting more and more involved. I remember when Kenzhi comforted me with this song when I was angry with him because I was jealous to see Kenzhi with Yelena. He sings very full of passion. He seemed to\-convince me that he would continue with me, and would not turn away. The longer I hear this song, the more my chest aches, and it hurts. I also had trouble breathing. There are tears in my eyelids.


“Sorry, I'm sorry to go back for a minute.” I said goodbye, moving from my seat.


“Oh yes, please. We will wait for you,” said Kenan. While others nodded at the sign of assuring. I quickly went away, looking for a place for me to breathe a sigh of relief. I walked while wiping my tears. After walking some distance, I sat on an empty chair in the corner of the cafe.


I sighed many\-times, trying to calm myself down, also hoping that the pain in my chest subsided. But in fact, I could not stop my tears that kept pooling, and then dripping in the end. I lowered my head as I continued to wipe my tears. Suddenly, I felt a small hand rubbing the tears flowing down my cheek. I raised my head, and I saw a boy of about five years old standing in front of me smiling.


“Kak why are you crying? Did anything make you cry?” ask the boy innocently.


“Nothing. No one made Brother cry,” I replied.


“But why is Brother sad, and his cheeks are soaked in tears?” ask again.


“Who said? No really, Brother is not sad.” I tried to smile while wiping my tears.


“Then why did you cry? Must someone make Brother sad?” The boy sat next to me.


“Tell me Brother, who made Brother cry and sad like this? Tell me which one is Kak, let me beat him.” He said it steadily.


“Kakak is not sad, there is also nothing that makes Brother cry, but earlier Brother's eyes splashed sambal when Brother poured it on the plate. Brother is embarrassed if caught with friends Brother, so Brother moved here.” I'm trying to give you an excuse.


“Adults are always so, if you eat not carefully. They like to eat spicy, and quickly when pouring sambal, so it can reach the eyes. In the past, I was also like Brother, splashed sambal when my mother poured chili to the plate. I cried, but my mother quickly washed my eyes with water. After that my eyes didn't hurt, and I didn't cry anymore.” The boy smiled sweetly at me.


“Adults are sometimes whinyer than young children, but they are shy to confess.” There was a wry smile on the lips of the boy.


“Say, what's your name?” my many.


“Kenzhi, my name is Kenzhi.” When I heard the boy say his name, I became silent. There was a sudden vibration running through my body. For a moment, my heart was also beating faster.


“Why is Brother silent? Brother sad again huh?” ask Kenzhi.


“Eat this.” Kenzhi thrust a lollipop at me.


“Lolipop?” I twirled the lollipop I was holding right now.


“Iya. Mother said, if sad to eat lollipop, later sad to disappear.” Kenzhi tried to convince me.


“Really?” I half glanced at him.


“True, here let me open.” Kenzhi grabbed the candy I was holding, then opened the wrapper and after that gave it to me.


“We ate together.” Kenzhi smiled at me, then put his lollipop into his mouth.


“Don't be sad again Brother, I don't want to see Brother sad again.” Kenzhi gave a warning.


“Indeed why if Brother is sad ?” my many.


“My candy runs out, I can't give her any more. So, Brother can't be sad anymore.” Kenzhi smiled at me.


“There-There's only you. You're funny,” I said as I pinched his gnarled cheek. I laughed too, and he followed.


“Please promise, Brother will not be sad anymore.” Kenzhi pointed his little finger at me.


“Appointments.” I clenched his little finger.


“I'll be back to mom.” Kenzhi got off his seat.


“Where is your mother?” manya curious.


“Itu.” Kenzhi pointed towards the number three table that was in front of me.


“Until we meet again Brother,”. He kissed my left cheek and ran away. I was surprised when he peeked at me, but I didn't get to say anything because he was far away.


I glanced at my watch, and it turned out that I had been here too long. I quickly got out of my seat, and hurried away. However, my journey was not as smooth as I thought. When I turned around and stepped, my right foot accidentally stepped on the shoelace of my left foot that was loose. As a result, I lost my balance and almost fell to the floor if I did not hit a man who was passing in front of me. He spontaneously caught my body from falling, and accidentally hugged me. While in his arms, I felt something strange. I felt familiar with this embrace, as if I had ever felt it. And, this hug feels like a Kenzhi hug. After a while, he let go of his embrace. He immediately took down the black hat he wore to cover half his upper face.


“You okay?” tanyanya after taking off her embrace.


“Ha?” I am still half conscious. I feel like I'm still in the arms just now.


“You okay?” tanyanya.


“Ah, yes. I'm fine,” I replied.


“Thank God, then. Another time be careful when walking.” He reminded.


“Yes, thanks for reminding me. I'll remember your message.” I smiled at him.


“Good.” I saw a small smile on his lips, though I could not see his face clearly.


“Your shoes come off, let me tie.” He squatted in front of me and tied my loose shoelaces.


“Ryn!” From far away, I heard the voice of brother Alby calling me. I swept my gaze here and there looking for the direction of the sound source.


“Kak Alby.” I raised my right hand to ear-level when I saw Brother Alby from afar. After Alby saw me, he quickly approached me.


“Where have you been? Let's go back,” take him.


“Sorry Brother, I will also be back now.” I apologized while smiling.


“You've been gone too long, I've been looking for you since. We'd better hurry, pity the others too long wait.” Alby's sister pulled my right wrist.


“Eh, wait a minute.” I held Alby's brother's hand with my left, preventing Alby from pulling my hand.


“Why?” ask Alby.


“I want to say thank you,” I replied. I turned around while developing a big smile.


“I want to say terimaka ..” The speech stopped when he saw the man who had just confirmed my shoelaces were no longer there. My gaze now swept around the place, looking around for the figure of the man who had just confirmed my shoelace.


“Thanks? On whom?” ask Alby. Now, Alby's sister took her eyes around the place.


“So she's here.” I pointed towards where the man who was squatting in front of me was.


“He who? Which one?” ask Alby confused.


“Dia. Someone who just squatted down, and tied my shoelaces.” I'm trying to explain.


“Ha?” Alby looks even more confused.


“I'm talking right, brother, there was someone who squatted in front of me and raised my shoelaces loose. I'm not lying.” I tried to convince.


Brother Alby sighed. “Maybe he's gone. We'd better get back. We'll be home soon, it's getting late.”


“Iya, Brother is right. Maybe he's gone.” There is a sense of disappointment in my heart because I have not been able to say thank you.
