You reveal your secret to the wind, you should not to blame to the wind for revealing them to the trees
Khalil Gibran
*****
The gurgling of water plunging from a height sounded so serene to the ears. The sound of flowing water adds to the calm in the soul. The lush trees add to the coolness in the middle of the hot afternoon. The blue sky covered in white clouds depicted Lintang's mood as if it was understood by them. Word for word, he assembled it into a related sentence. Trying to form a story that will appeal to anyone who sees it.
Nature is one of Lintang's reasons for relaxing the mind. Become a source of imagination for the work he is working on. Moreover, Lintang is a famous writer so he has to do his best so that the work he creates always gets one of the best ratings.
Being alone in nature is soothing. Moreover, this is not a type of lush forest, because it is more like a valley where there is a waterfall and is certainly beautiful to look at. The sound of birds singing adds to the beauty of the place. Make anyone feel at home for long there.
"who are you?"
A girl who doesn't know where she came from suddenly asks me.
The girl's skin color was pale white. Her hair color is blonde with seductive length. For a woman she is quite tall. His facial expression looks so bitchy ad annoying. His eyes were filled with question marks. Make anyone who saw it feel curious made. She is quite beautiful.
"I asked who you are?" repeated the girl
"people" said Lintang in a cold tone.
"What I asked was your name?" said the girl in a higher tone.
"what did you do until you got curious about my name?" asked Lintang.
"This is my place. And you dare to come to this place without my permission ...!" said the girl in a tone higher than before.
"Oh, yes?"
"Yes, so don't you dare come to this place. Especially there !!"
The girl pointed right at the position Lintang occupied. The place with the ground covered with nut grass, where there is a rather large tree that stands firmly gives a cool feel to anyone who takes shelter under it.
"why?"
"because it's my favorite place !!"
"continue?" said Lintang, raising an eyebrow.
"Don't you dare sit there because it's only mine. And no one can be there besides me. Pahamm ?? !!"
Apparently the girl was getting angry because she didn't like it when someone else occupied her favorite place.
"GO AWAY FROM HERE!!"
He got angry and even kicked me out. Yet this was a public place and he shouldn't feel that this place belonged to him.
"don't want to." Lintang refused to leave the place even though the girl looked very angry.
"Please get out of here or something will happen to you!"
What a threat. How dare he do that to Lintang. Doesn't he know who he is? Even though other people if you meet them will ask for an autograph and ask for a photo, they actually ask for a fuss. Lontang was even more curious about him.
"What will happen?" Lintang is increasingly following the girl's path, even though he really doesn't want to.
"I'll see."
"what should I see?"
"Later you will also know"
"How important is it that I'll have to find out later?"
"so get out of here !!"
"no"
The girl got closer and tried to forcefully pull Lintang from there. For a woman, she is a pretty strong girl. He was able to pull me even if only one meter from the original place.
"Do not touch me."
Lintang took his belongings and immediately rushed from there. Maybe it's okay to give in for a woman every now and then.
"It should have been like that. It just makes me angry. You get tired"
The Latitude walked away from the place without any sound. Only the sound of footsteps could be heard getting away from the fierce girl.

The sound of a typewriter in the corner of the room echoed throughout the room. Sky blue color adorns almost the entire side of the empty wall. The scent of maple leaves wafted everywhere. The room, which contains not many luxury items, looks neat and clean. Outside the room, there is a mini rooftop in front of which presents a large green hill. There is a lake that is not too wide but adds to the beauty of the hill. This room is indeed a multi-functional room. Apart from being a place to rest, this room can also be used as a place to calm down by looking at the view from a height.
"aishh ,,, what's wrong with me ,,?!" the girl was surprised because he was not usually like this.
Ddrrrrrtttttt ...
Hello visa ...
Hello ...
Is the novel ready?
Not yet, Vit.
I'm not focusing on this anymore.
Unusual, not as usual
I don't know either,
But be patient, I just need a reference,:)
Hurry up ..
Yeahh
don't get past the 25th, ok?
Well, that's cruel
Whatever
Yes, okee
Tutt tutt.
Avisa unilaterally switched off the call. He is lazy to listen to Jovita's babbling, who keeps on adding to each chapter of the novel he will make.
Yes, her name is Avisa. Avisa Fortuna. As the name implies, he always gets lucky. But today he seems to have had bad luck to the point that it is difficult for him to put together every word in his novel. Maybe because this afternoon she met an arrogant guy who really sucks. Just looking at it made him sick. Hopefully tomorrow he won't see that guy again.
"shitt .." cursed the girl.
The weather is quite sunny this afternoon. Perfect for enjoying the scenery down there. Maybe there was nothing wrong if he took a walk. Who knows, after that he will have a bright idea. Yes hopefully.

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more ..
The song is a memorable song from several years ago. I don't know since when the song was the back sound of Lintang's existence on the not-too-broad rooftop. But certainly the song reminded him of someone. Someone he once loved even for a moment.
Word for word in each verse of the song he lived well. He also did not forget to close his eyes as a sign that he was right "to absorb every meaning contained in it. This song has become his favorite song in recent years. And until now it still survives. Maybe because this song only he can remember besides himself.
"Are you ok?"
A man with a body equal to Lintang walked over to him carrying a glass of coffee which was still accompanied by hot steam.
"no, i'm not"
"why?"
The one who was asked only shrugged his shoulders without answering a word.
"it turns out you already came home." said Lintang without any expression of surprise.
"So don't just daydream. Friends just came home, I don't know. Hiisshh." cursed Vincent.
"Cent .. ,,"
The man who brought the coffee was Vincent. Vincent Everest. The name is quite unique. No one is sure why until there is Everest in the name. Even though he is a native Indonesian. But his face is like a descendant of western people. Out of nowhere.
"uh, Tang"
"stop calling me Tang." Did I use tools. "Lintang replied with a cold tone.
"ribed ..." Vincent took a moment to pause by drinking the original coffee in his glass.
"I found a close letter on your laptop. Here ..." the man continued while handing over the letter.
"letter??"
"Yes, it says in it for Lintang. And the letter has not been opened at all." said Vincent while clarifying the sentence.
"I've never felt like putting letters near the laptop"
"just read it in case it is important and you forget to read it." Vincent's suggestion.
Lintang felt confused by himself. But without thinking he immediately opened the letter and read its contents.
To: Lintang Pradipta
Andai ada keajaiban
Akan ku ukirkan
Namamu di atas bintang-bintang angkasa
Agar semua tahu
Kau berarti untukku
S'lama- lamanya kamu milikku
