My preoccupation with reading memorable notes stopped when Delisha came to approached.
Delisha: Hey, Reya. Why not we exchanged? You should take a nap. Our journey is still miles stone away. You also need adequate rest, you know.
Me: It's okay, I'm still fresh and can't sleep anyway.
Delisha: Are you still with the same illness? I thought its only during our studies.
Me: Yes, still with the same problem. I don't know why it is so difficult to stop this habit.
Yes, since I was here, alone. Enjoy the beauty of nature that stretches wide in front of me. Loosen Up the fatigued body and the jaded mind. With the night dew moistening the ground and creating the chill breeze. With the river's strong stream, it accompanies the quiet night. With the sound of crickets and woodland beetles, making the dark sky more comforting. With the flames in front of me, enough to give warmth. Yes, it was a tiring night.
Delisha: What book did you read?
Me: Oh, this...
Delisha: Still hoping for him?
I was hesitated and looked at the book for a moment when Delisha asked the question. The book in my hand. The book I read from the beginning. It is a snippet of poetry and quotes that express my feelings and keeps my memories in textual form.
Delisha: Reya, time is moving forward you know. Until when do you want to hope and wait for him?
Me: Not that I'm still hoping. Just, sometimes the memories come, and the longing begins. Only with this book, I can get rid of my yearning for him. Although the memories are not that wonderful, but enough to ease my heart.
Delisha: I know, but you need to move to the fore. Don't habitually cling to past memories. Yes, you can take that as a lesson for you. But don't let it stop you from getting better.
Me: I know that. But it's okay. Plus, having a chat with you is enough to make me drowsy. Are you sure you can replace me to make a night of it?
Delisha: Hey, who do you consider me for? I'm used to waking up at times like this. So, use these accessible times to relax.
Me: All right, thank you.
Delisha just smiled, in return for the appreciation I gave. I moved towards my sleeping port. Just to take a nap, even for a moment. But I know, it's not easy and I still need it. Because tomorrow, my journey is still long. The quest will not end until we die. I guess.
Delisha Armour, or rather say her name Delishaine Aoibhin. She's a great friend, although she's not my childhood pal like Audric, Zeph and Muriel. Yes, I got to know her as I continued my studies along with those three. Yes, I knew her when I was involved in the club. And yes, she knows everything about me and Harald. Because she was always there when I was at the lowest end. About her, it is enough for me to give a picture of who she is.
Delisha, she is an emerald-eyed, ginger-haired, and honey-skin girl. Her beauty and height are different from all of us, the elven. Probably because she is a mixture between an elf and a fairy. However, her wings like butterflies are rarely seen. She only uses her wings when she wants to. Especially when she's too lazy to walk.
Even so, she is not like the "fairy" we imagine. She is a rugged person. Arguably rowdier than I am. She is also not interested in beautifying like Zeph. Far away if sited with Muriel. But, almost the same as Audric, only that she speaks more. Her temper is unpredictable. But she's not a cold person. It just if she starts to get angry, the hurricane will come. Just as she is like that, she remains as someone who can cure others even by her words. Yes, that was the main power she earned.
The morning comes as the sun rise, showing itself. Our journey once more began. But I still shutting my mouth, getting my temper wavered. Reminiscing the main reason of my downfall. The arrival of my depressive self. Although, it's actually after quite a while, since the last time I remember is through the issue with my bedridden mother.
