I spent the rest of the afternoon in the back corner of the library, this area looks very quiet and comfortable. While sitting around reading a dictionary, I heard the sound of a piano playing from the next room. As far as I know, next door is a lab, not a music room or any room that might have a piano, I decided to leave the library and make sure the room is next to the library.
Sure enough, when I opened the door to the room next to the library, it contained a row of computers, this was a lab. I returned to the back corner of the library and found the sound was gone, only an open door, I approached the door and ventured to enter.
How surprised I was to see a music room that seemed to be unused behind the door, there was an old classic piano colored like a pine tree. I was sure that the sound of the piano I heard earlier must have come from this old piano, I sat and watched every inch of the piano.
I still remember very clearly the times I played the piano, the reason I started playing it until the reason I stopped. I closed my eyes, the sound of the piano brought me back to the past. Without me knowing it, tears rolled down my cheeks.
I felt a pain in my chest, a pain that was killing me, overwhelming guilt. I let go of all those feelings with tears, it's very difficult for me to forget the memories I used to have with someone who taught me that happiness is not only about me.
My head felt dizzy, tears had stopped flowing a long time ago, and all my energy was used up to cry. With the sound of incoming messages ringing from my cellphone, I took the cellphone from my jacket pocket while getting up from my seat. How surprised I was to see Jeffyin's face on my phone screen and accidentally dropped the phone on the floor, I bent down and grabbed my phone.
When I finally looked straight ahead, a man was standing in the doorway with a face like someone who had been caught peeking, "Sorry I didn't mean to." he said. Then he hurriedly walked over to me and bent down to take something from under the piano which turned out to be a bag. "I just wanted to take this, but instead saw everything." I am surprised.
"Everything?" I said repeating the last words he said earlier.
"Totally by accident, really, I couldn't just walk in and take this while a girl was crying loudly." he looked at me with a worried look.
He was wearing baggy jeans with a white shirt wrapped in a blood-red sweater and a pair of reasonably thick monocled glasses, his eye color was light brown and his hair was jet black with a short cut at the back and bangs that fell in front of his eyebrows, almost touching his eyes.
"I'm not going to kill myself, don't worry," I explained to him with that worried look.
"Great," he said as he walked away. "You can come here whenever you want to cry, but I lend it to you just to cry," he said again before disappearing behind the door.

"Jadi gimana? Betah ga?" asked Jullian from the other end of the phone.
I was sitting on a park bench next to the library in my nightgown, the same dress I had last worn when Jeffyin fell here. It's just that not with boots but sandals with pale red fur, this time it didn't rain so the sky was full of stars. "Gitu deh, semuanya ramah."
"Udah punya temen dong?" there was a faint sound of guitar strumming.
"Udah dong, namanya Arielle, baik banget, terus pinter, seru deh." I told him.
"Yahaaha, enak dong, bisa nyontek kalo ulangan." candanya. "Cowok banyak ga yang cakep?" he asked jokingly, as usual.
"Bejibun, cakep semua. Gila sih, jadi suka takut khilaf." I replied to his joke. Chino moves in her sleep on my lap, like she was dreaming.
"Diih, bisa gitu?" he laughs over there. "Jadi, udah pernah nyoba khilaf belum?" he can't hold back his laughter. "Nyoba khilaf.." he muttered to the stupid question he asked me.
"Di jawab ga nih?" I asked teasing him.
"Jawab lah, slow aja kali." he challenged me.
"Yang jelas sih cowok disini pada berani, ga pake alesan ga berani gitu kaya aa." now I'm the one laughing satisfied.
A hand touched my shoulder which was not covered by a single thread, as I turned to Jeffyin standing behind me. He shook his hand near his ear in the shape of a telephone handle and said "Who?" silently, then sat next to me.
I didn't answer the question and went back to talking to Jullian. "Eh keceplosan kan jadinya." then I laugh again.
"Sengaja kalih itu mah" now we laugh together.
I glanced at Jeffyin, he was looking at me with the palm of his hand he put on his cheek to hold his head. "Iya, emang sengaja. Huu dasar payah." I said continuing the chat with Jullian.
"Ya maaf, kan ga berani, dulu. Lagian emang boleh?" he asked.
"Boleh lah, bebas akses, dulu tapi." I explained, then I felt Jeffyin close his body to me, he turned his face towards me.
"Kalo sekarang?" Jullian asked.
I was silent, not because of Jullian's question but because Jeffyin's face was in front of me at a very close distance. My heart is racing so fast, I feel his breath on my face, those blue eyes once again make me freeze.
"Is it okay if your laugh is only for me?" he asked, then I pulled Jeffyin's face so my lips touched his. I don't know what demon entered my mind, Jeffyin gasped in surprise when I pulled his face closer. I let my lips stick there for a while.
"Nessa?" Jullian's voice on the phone woke me up then immediately I pulled my face.
Jeffyin took the phone from my hand, "Just focus on me." he whispered. I dared myself to kiss him properly, now he is the one who just silently accepted my kiss. I tried my best, kissing his upper and lower lips alternately. My hands move through his long hair, pressing his head to deepen the kiss. I bit his lips lightly in between kisses, making Jeffyin open his mouth even more.
"Hey, Traynor! Just continue at the nite club! I'm already late!" shouted someone who clearly stopped my kiss.
Immediately, I saw a man wearing a thin black t-shirt tucked into tight jeans, his hair neatly arranged on top, a spike hairstyle...
As I continued to watch the man back there, Jeffyin kissed my cheek and then down my neck. I moaned loud enough when the bridge of his nose accidentally touched my ear which made Jeffyin immediately move his face away. I covered my mouth with both hands and cursed myself for making weird noises, Jeffyin just chuckled then ruffled my hair lightly.
"Just wait in my car," Jeffyin shouted at his friend and then threw the car key he took from the back pocket of his pants. "I'll take her back first."
The man looked at me for a while then threw a dark green bomber jacket at Jeffyin "She could freeze to death stupid!" he said then finally left.
Jeffyin stood up and put his hands on his waist, his face was looking at me with an expression that I didn't understand. "Okay, so tell me, why do you always dress like this when you come here?" he asked.
"This is my nightgown, what's your problem?" I answered sarcastically.
"What? So you're not wearing a bra?" Jeffyin asked with wide eyes.
I immediately crossed my arms across my chest, covering that part. "Asshole."
He just put on an innocent face and then scratched the back of his head. "I'll take you to your room, let's go." Jeffyin stretched out his hand.
I lifted Chino from my lap, ignoring his outstretched hand. "Can't see?"
He put the bomber jacket on my shoulder, then took Chino from my arms slowly and placed her on his left shoulder, grabbed my hand, and pulled me away from this place. He walked in front of me, not in a hurry, walking slowly. I watched his back, his hands gripping mine tightly.
He's dressed too neatly tonight, black loafer, navy trousers, and a white shirt "Where are you going?" I finally opened the conversation.
"Go to the club," he answered briefly.
"Until what time?" second question.
"Usually at 3 o'clock I arrived at the dormitory." his thumb moves slowly over my hand.
"Usually?" the third question.
Jeffyin stopped his steps, looking at me that waiting for his answer. "I've been going there almost every night, since high school." he gently pulled my hand until I was next to him then put his hand on my waist, and we walked again.
"Last night too?" now the two of us are standing in front of the door of room number 204, my room.
"Tomorrow take your time all day for me," he said then handed Chino to me and removed the bomber jacket from my shoulder.
My head lifted when I looked at his face, he put his hands on my shoulders and let out a long breath. "It's beautiful, but I want only me to be able to see it." his eyes looked into mine.
His hands moved to my cheeks, "One more thing," he glanced around, "How could I go to the club last night when you were on top of me." he said then kissed me very deeply.
My heart felt like it was breaking, how could he bring up what happened last night.
"Come in, Darrell is waiting for me in the car." he said then gently caressed my cheek "I love you, Rain." he then finally left.
I guarantee I won't be able to sleep tonight because I'm waiting for the sun to rise tomorrow.
