ALASKA~ BAY
episode 21
Love you readers...
Alister looked at Ana, her beautiful eyes with her long unraveling hair, her lips smiling sincerely making Alister unable to distract her.
Ana immediately plucked the flower, and kissed it with a small smile.
"But I love roses, even though it hurts."
Alister approached Ana while frowning by putting on a question mark face.
"Why sick?"
"Because I was once given a rose as my first love."
What is this feeling?
After all, Ana is a normal girl who can fall in love. But why is there still a little trouble.
It seemed like this time Alister was too heavy to smile, not even the slightest bit could.
"Roses are ugly, no good."
Ana only smiled a little, not wanting to say anything but smile.
Still with a down position and holding the rose, while Alister ruffled his waist while staring at Ana who was holding the damn rose.
"Lagian you want to be given the ugly flowers of that cake!" Alister continued to grumble and it made Ana laugh.
"Now what are we going to do here?" asked Ana with a smile. His gaze now turned to look at the lake which made his eyes fresh.
Alister walked towards a large shady tree, its sturdy trunk perfect for shelter.
Alister can see the old tree house. Simple indeed and not too flashy, even the wood looks worn and dirty.
It seems, when Alister was a child the tree was not as big as it is now, the shady trunk so?
But still this place holds many memories, making the creepy feeling disappear instantly.
"You want to go upstairs?" ask Alister.
"Can."
First Alister allowed Ana to ride first. Slowly his hands began to climb one by one the old wooden stairs.
Ana doesn't understand why Alister took her up there. Why didn't he just take his friends to this secret place?
I don't know, Ana can't resist. After getting up there, Ana could see a vast lake with a gentle breeze that was so soothing to her heart.
Alister stared at the smiling Ana, taking a floppy hat hanging over a nail, a round mini-sized hat but still fitting for Ana.
"Lo diem deh there," said Alister while issuing a special book to draw.
Ana holds the hat with a smile, Alister wonder why Ana looks so happy with an old hat like that, even has not been worn for years. Ana still kept smiling making Alister unable to distract her.
"Smile, don't stop smiling" Alister said, taking a pencil and drawing Ana deftly.
After almost half an hour Ana looked at the lake and Alister gave a paper, there was a picture of Ana smiling in the hat.
Ana frowns at the picture, the picture is so bangus very similar to reality but...
"Shirt his hair short?" ask Ana astonished.
"Lo looks like my little friend, so I tried to draw a picture of a short hair with that hat."
Ana squinted her eyes with a question mark face.
"Gue here just want to take a picture of you wearing that hat, and the results are similar." Alister took a breath and continued his words again.
"So.lo have to answer my question honestly."
Ana took her eyes off the picture, while Alister looked at Ana with a serious look, the once peaceful atmosphere now turning more serious.
"What a little victory, we just met in High School," Ana replied while taking a deep breath and gluing her hands to the picture.
No. gabe. No. gabe. No. gabe. Either for the umpteenth time Alister felt Ana was his little friend, and the picture he made was indeed very precise, it could not be wrong.
What was different was just Ana's hair being longer at this moment.
"Alister," called Ana in her soft voice.
"Hmm?"
"I want to go home."
Ana felt that this time the atmosphere became more awkward compared to before, what else when Alister asked if he was his little friend or not?
Alister ducked, his mind and heart jumbled between disbelief and realizing that Ana was not his little friend.
"Kok diem only?" ask Ana.
"OK," Alister replied uninspiredly.
***
Along the way Alister just fell silent, so did Ana just play her long, wiggly nails.
"Lo looks like my little friend, if you're nervous about your fingernails" Alister said, removing the silence.
Ana immediately stopped playing her nails, she turned her eyes to stare at the loose streets.
"I just met you at High School, Alister. Why not believe it?" answered Ana gently with a blank look.
"okay." Alister was only able to get those words out.
Okay, maybe Ana's not a little friend.
After a few minutes later, they arrived in front of Ana's house, and most annoyingly there was Diana who was silent in front of the house while shaking her waist.
Damnit damnit!
"No need to be tense, let me havepin this one tiger," said Alister while getting off his car followed by Ana.
"Lake in!" diana said to Ana.
Ana ran into the house and locked herself in the room.
I don't know what's going on outside, Ana doesn't want to know. He was sure Alister would be scolded all out.
Her tears slowly dripped down her cheeks, she walked open the closet and picked up her pink note.
His guilt multiplies, first he lies, second he lets Alister face his mother alone.
Her tiny hand shook, with tears dripping down she wrote.
Dear, Alister Reygan
Sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you.
I am your little friend who misses you, thinks of you, and sees you from afar.
This hand can't reach you at any time.
You've always been my first love, Alister Reygan.
Sorry, your little friend always lies. Knowing that you remember me is enough.
Thanks, Alister.
Love you readers...
