A Heart in The Alley

In a sorrowful Sunday morning, a little girl with a black hooded sweatshirt walked through the road. The raindrops started to fell down through her cheek; first it’s just one then followed by another. She sees through the sky that was filled by dark clouds.

“The same Sunday as always, is it not, Kia?” A man approached the girl slowly. The girl only nodded her head and stayed in silence. The man then sat next to the girl, careful not to make much noise. He looked up to the sky as the little girl kept her mouth shut.

“When a boy meets a beautiful girl like you, he should be a lucky guy…” the man said to the girl.

Xezaminald had already rescued by Azaran and Tim. This is a story, when a 17 year-old named Kia and a man who worked there…

It all began after Kia knew that her beloved Zeran is going to marry Izara, a perfect girl with long blond hair and deep blue ocean eyes. Since then, she never talked anymore and always went to the alley every Sunday. And at that time, a man always showed up and tried to make her talk again. But she never responded and stayed in silence. The man loved her since he met Kia, but Kia never responded.

“Kia, please talk!” He said encouragingly. “There are a lot of boys in this world, not just him Kia!” He said to the girl shaking her shoulder patiently waiting for her to reply. But still, Kia is devoured by her silence. Her eyes are both spaced out and there is nothing you could feel. She just stared through the sky on that rainy Sunday. That man always tried to woke her from the long slumber every time.

“I’ll come back next Sunday!” he tapped her shoulder. “And by that time, I’ll make sure you would talk to me and smile!” He said to Kia. He blends into the darkness once more and disappear. “I want to talk to you, you are the only man that made my heart blooms every time you touch me. I am starting to like you since then and still now….” Kia thought about it always but she kept it inside her heart and never let anyone heard it out loud.

It seems that every Sunday, the rain always fall at the alley. As usual, Kia already stands there, soaking wet to the bore.

That man won’t come,” said Kia in her heart. But this time, Kia is starting to talk. She let her heart do the talk and her eyes are starting to shine. “Rain rain goes away… Come again another day,” with her beautiful voice she sang, her voice ringing through the rain.

“That’s a beautiful voice you got.” The man came and stands next to her. Kia jerked, she was very startled and then she ran away from that man.

“Wait, Kia!” He ran after her. They ran through the rain. The alley is pretty big; they ran up and down the alley until they reach the highest building. Finally the man caught Kia and settled her down. Kia is still struggling through his hold, but it’s still useless. So she gave up and fell down to the man’s leg.

He went to his knees and said, “Are you okay?” He asked Kia as if nothing happened to them. He looked at Kia lovingly; aiming straight to her eyes, making Kia blushed and turned her head around. Her heart told her to say something, but she was too nervous, her throat is dry that she cried.

“It’s okay Kia, you don’t have to force yourself,” He smiled to Kia while the rain is still falling heavily to the ground. Kia wanted to say something so badly that she stood up and bumped his head. She didn’t notice that a rock was there and she tripped, making her position even worse. She almost fell down the building, when that man saved her life. He was very relieved that Kia didn’t fell down and hugged her tightly.

“Thank you…” Finally Kia talked to the man. “Thank you, Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!” she said it for thousand times until that man closed her mouth and carried her to a dry place near there. It was a little room with a fireplace and some towels, a bed, and a small table with a chair. He lighten up the fireplace and starting to dry up Kia’s hair with a towel. He offered Kia nice chocolate milk and sat down on the chair while he told her that she could sit down on the bed.

“Thank you. By the way, can I ask your name?” Kia asked him softly.

“I am Yano Yezarive. I believe that you are miss Kia Krenozile, age 17 and the daughter of Kristal Krenozile?” He said nicely.

“Yes, but how do you know me?” Kia’s confused, but she tried to keep her voice polite.

“You really don’t remember anything?” He threw another stick to the fireplace while Kia only nodded her head. “It was one year ago, when everyone still haven’t got the announcement of Zeran and Izara’s wedding. You were standing at the alley alone, singing a beautiful song while seeing through the beautiful sky. Since that Sunday morning, I fell in love with you. When I see you at the alley again the next day, I was sad and disappointed. You didn’t sing any song and only looked at the gloomy raindrops. That’s why, I always come to you. Because I wanted to cheer you and see you smile. That is when I started to know you and searched for your name and families…” Yano said with an expression that made Kia laughed so hard that she fell down and made them both lying on the floor. Kia smiled and laughed at Yano, making Yano blushed and laughed together with her.

“I love you so much Yano, I really do. You are the one who teach me and motivated me about what life and love is like, Thank you so much!” Kia hugged Yano tightly.

“Hey Kia, I wanted to ask you something….” Yano said rubbing Kia’s head softly while he was looking to the rooftop of the room.

“Yes, what is it Yano?” She replied innocently.

“Can I kiss you?” Yano asked her softly with his face started to blush.

“Of course, and you will….” They kiss each other desperately for a long time. And Kia can only come to one conclusion, “Ahh… So this is what love is…
