13. Remember

° No, it's not that I don't like it it's just that it's better to let you be free out there °

-Bryan-

The weather today is quite bright. There was a noise from outside. Maybe, if you live in the countryside, the chirping of birds will welcome you. But this is an urban area, so it is the roar of the engine that fills the senses of hearing.

This black and white room looks so calm. There is no graffiti that usually adorns a boy's room. However, if you look closely, you will clearly see a framed photo showing two teenagers. You can guess they are about the same age. Actually this room is also not that wide. However, because the items are located in the right place, the room looks so strategic.

The guy in the short-sleeved shirt wrinkled his forehead as the sunlight began to enter through the gaps. Slowly he opened his eyes. Turning his head to the left while yawning. He smiled wryly, again all he could see was the framed photo. Every now and then he winced in pain as he recalled what happened last year.

In the photo, a girl with shoulder-length hair bows her head laughing happily. In his hand he held a pendant shaped like a star. Beside the girl with bangs, there is a boy who looks at her with a gaze full of love. Seeing the interaction between the two, it is certain that they are a pair of lovers who are in love.

The framed photo is now placed right above his chest. It really hurts like this when someone we love is left for no apparent reason. All of a sudden, without a word, and not a single word came out of the mouth of either one.

If you think about it, why still love those who have clearly hurt us. Isn't loving yourself important too?

We as humans have no right to judge others. Let them do as they please as long as it doesn't harm anyone. If they still love the person who clearly hurt him, so be it. We also don't know what special thing that person has done that he really can't forget. However, sometimes we have to put ourselves in their shoes in order to see the situation from a different perspective.

"It's me who is wrong or are you pretending?" Bintang muttered softly while rubbing the cheek of the girl in the photo.

Bintang laughed sarcastically, "I'm going to be crazy for a long time, you—"

Check

Open door. Shows a middle-aged woman whose neck is wrapped in a scarf. Anita, a name that is often mentioned to call an angel in the form of a mother in Bintang's life. She stepped into the room, the pure white hand her egg gently caressed the top of his son's head.

"Stars eat first, haven't eaten since yesterday. Isn't that right?" Anita gave a bowl of Bintang's favorite warm porridge. The boy received the porridge his mother gave him. Nod his head in response.

Anita smiled, she took something lying beside her and put it on the table. This woman could clearly see that her son was not well, "do you miss her?"

"Yes ma'am" replied Star simply.

The fact is like that, this flat-faced guy misses the figure of the girl he loves. Not only now, even until later Bintang is still waiting for him to come back in his life. Continuing the story that once stopped running.

"Sis I have something for you" Justin shouted in front of Alexia's tightly closed room.

The boy dressed in pajamas with Doraemon's picture rubbed his eyes, he yawned. But his hands kept breaking down Alexia's bedroom door.

On the right side of Alexia's room is Bryan's room, while on the left belongs to Justin, their sister. The door to Bryan's room was slightly ajar, revealing the owner who was snorting in annoyance, covering his ears so he wouldn't hear the commotion. After a few minutes, the sound was no longer heard. Bryan breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's still early in the morning like this, kid. It's not early in the morning, it's already noon, but you still ask me what to do" Bryan grumbled while covering his body, then closed his eyes again.

However, before he could close his eyes tightly, the noise was heard again. "Arhhh Justinnn" Bryan shouted in frustration, throwing his blankets everywhere.

Bryan rolled up his sleeves. Get ready to punch Justin's pretentious face. He would definitely teach Justin a lesson for daring to disturb his sleep. When he opened the door, it was no longer anger that controlled this tall boy but a laugh.

"What are you doing sleeping here hahaha"

Alexia opened the door forcibly, annoyed by the commotion in front of her room "please, bro, this is still pa—anjirr hahaha".

Justin blinked a few times. Feeling tired of hearing laughter from his two brothers aimed at him. Regardless of them

, Justin took the bolster pillow that he had brought and entered Alexia's room.

"Hey, why are you sleeping in my room?" Alexia blocked Justin who wanted to lie down on his bed.

Justin gritted his teeth, "please sis, just let me sleep in your room this time. I'm tired, dizzy, don't bother me" he said in a serious tone.

"Oh okay, please sir" Alexia stretched out her hand to give access to Justin. He complied, feeling goosebumps hearing his sister speak seriously. Maybe Justin was really tired this time. The problem is, why does he have to sleep in his own room?

Alexia rushes off. She grabbed the door knob and pulled it slowly.She reached into his pocket, looking for the whereabouts of her flat object and then typed a message for her brother.

The girl with long black diombre brown hair groaned softly. Annoyed with his brother's behavior. How could he be this calm when it seemed like Justin was hiding something.

Alexia was really worried, because the other day Justin's expression was the same as before. The same look on her face when the ponytail girl dared to raise a hand to slap her on the cheek. Actually, at that time Alexia knew that Justin covered the girl's mouth when he wanted to say something. She just kept silent, pretending not to know.

Drttttt

Alexia's cell phone vibrates with the incoming ringing of someone's phone. She furrowed his brows, feeling unfamiliar with the number on the flat object. Then slide the green button to the right to answer the phone.

"Hello" came a voice from the other side.

"Who are you?" asked Alexia to the point.

"...."

"Huh what? Repeat! You can't hear your voice, it's so noisy"

"...."

"Sharelock"

"...."

"I otw, bye"

Tutt

The connection is disconnected unilaterally. Alexia took a crop jacket that happened to be on the hanger. Do not forget she also pulled the origin of her hair and then walked away leaving Justin who was fast asleep.

"Bang, I'm going out for a while, I have business. Please say goodbye to your mother, assalamualaikum" the girl shouted.

"Waalaikumsalam, be careful" Bryan replied.

The girl was restless. Every now and then she looked at the clock perched on her pure white hand to see how many more minutes he had to wait. She really hates waiting, especially since he's been here so long.

The girl pursed her lips as she stomped her foot on the ground several times. Unbeknownst to her, behind her was a boy who was sneaking up on her planning to tease her.

"You don't want to startle me when you know you're there"

The tall guy took off the hat that was attached to his head and then walked over with a smile, "Say what? Repeat!!"

"I don't mean that"

"Hmm, here's a hug" the boy said pulling the girl closer to him.

The girl tightened her arms as if she didn't want to let go. I don't know where he got the impetus to do this. Even though he knew that—

"You know I don't like being touched unless I do it myself!"

"But you're the one who pulled me ken-"

The hand that originally hugged the slender waist has now moved to thin lips that dared to refute his words, "Shut up, I don't like to be denied!".

Alexia drives the car at an above average speed. Race one by one the vehicles in front of them. She took a deep breath every now and then to calm the emotions that were taking over him.

"I know this must be a trap, but..."

Citttt...Brakkk

Alexia stepped on the brake pedal suddenly. She wiped the sweat dripping from his wrinkled forehead. A long sigh was heard as he got out of the car to make sure the person she hit was okay. When she found out who the person in front of her was, Alexia was shocked. She was surprised.

How did she get here?

Isn't this the place that Alexia was talking about a few minutes ago with the person who suddenly called her?

It was seen that he also gave a surprised expression just like Alexia.

"Karissa???"
