BLUE MOON'S
LIN RESIDENCE

It's still morning. I've been on the campus waiting for Aria and the others. Sucks. Always like this. If I know they're gonna be late, I better relax at home. My breakfast was not finished yet.

            “Zee.” Aria waved her hand at me.

            “Sorry late. Street jammed badly.” Aria looks at me sad. I'm still sitting unmoved. Just nodding at his explanation.

            The atmosphere of a lonely morning, still makes me not excited to start the lecture today.

            “Which other where?” I asked Aria who was sitting next to me.

            “Hemm?” Aria looks at. He shrugged both of his shoulders and shook his head.

            “Already. Surely they are late as usual.” I nodded in response to my own question..

Aria took something out of her bag. A light blue box.

            “Nihh.” Aria gave the box to me.

            “What?” my answer is confused by what it means.

            “Gift. Happy Birthday” Aria replied.

 I nodded in accepting it. It was my birthday, and I forgot myself.

            “Zee.?”

            Someone called. Aria and I stared at the owner of the voice.

            “Nathan?” Aria surprised. His head moved towards me and Nathan in turn. I just smiled and looked at Nathan.

            Nathan walked closer to me.

            “What's wrong?” Nathan asked.

            “Waiting for another. Looks like they'll be late too today.” I answered. Aria just silently looked at me and Nathan spoke familiarly. His face looks curious. But he kept quiet and did not ask.

            “Ohhh.” Nathan's Voice. Head nodded.

            “Yaa, you alone? Not too fast coming now?” my many.

            Nathan shook his head. “No. I always come at a time like this, only sometimes I wait for the right time to enter the class.” Nathan smiled.

            “Seeing like late means?” I laughed at him.

            Nathan laughed too. Always going in the class late, doesn't mean Nathan's really late. I'm sure the one I met in the classroom was him. Why did he not attend class and did not attend. At that time he came.

            “Zee?” Aria called my name.

            “What are you doing? Nathan's gone tuh.” Aria looked at me who looked surprised. I didn't realize I was parting ways with Nathan.

            “Nothing, just a little thought.” I replied.

            “You...., how did you get to know Nathan? Why are you so close?” ask Aria.

            “Means?” I looked at Aria confused.

            “Why can Nathan talk to you? Even the other friends he avoided. Why not to you?” aria's face looked curious waiting for my answer.

            I laughed to see it. “Nothing. Just like that, it just flows.” My speech.

            Aria was still looking at me, annoyed to be seen on her face. Not satisfied with my answer.

            “Even he didn't look at me Zee. He's just chatting with you. I'm like the wind earlier.” Aria's voice was upset.

            I just laughed, watching one of my best friends feel hurt not to be recognized by Nathan. I myself still do not believe, how was it that I got close and knew him. Although there's still a lot I don't know about Nathan, I'm still sure that Nathan will explain it to me one day.

*****

            Zee Happy Birthday,

            Wish U All The Best's.

            I stared at my phone, a message coming in from Nathan. I replied and thanked him. Don't know where Nathan can find out my birthday.

            “Zee.?” Aria pulled my arm. Stopping me from getting in the car.

            “Why?” I stared at him. His face looks confused.

            “Ituu.” Answer doubtful.

            “Why? Is there something?” I looked at him who was still silent.

            Aria looked at me, and raised her hand. Pointing something behind me. I turned my face and saw what was behind me. Something that made Aria stop talking.

            “Luke?” my spoken. Luke is walking towards me.

            “How did he know I was here?” I asked Aria who was still silent.

            “That's. I don't know either.” Aria looks at.

            “Zee.” Luke's voice was heard calling my name. I tried to escape; pulled Aria into my car, and left her.

            “Zee, wait!” Luke shouting.

            “Zee. Stop!!!.” Luke stopped right in front of my car. The sound of the brake I was making sounded strong. I looked at him standing in front of me. Aria who was sitting next to me looked surprised. Both of his hands tightly clasped the seat belt that bound his body. Face paled. Shocked and scared were clearly recorded on his face.

            “Crazy you Luke,” I shouted. “What are you doing standing there?”

            Luke looked at me and smiled. Not moving at all and standing there. Aria, who was silent from the beginning, got out of my car. Approaching Luke.

            “What? Why?” challenge Luke to look at him.

            “You..!” aria was upset. His face was already flushed eliminating the paled color that was previously there.

            “Why? Haa? Who are you?” Luke scoffed. Feel completely innocent.

            “Zee, I'm coming. Happy Birthday to you.” She looked at me, not caring about Aria. Take out a small box and a bucket of red roses. Don't know where it came from, the bucket's in his hand.

            I looked at him silently. Aria looked increasingly upset. I came to him who looked confident with

his deeds. His smile did not disappear at all.

            “Hey crazy!” aria's voice was rising.

            “Luke,” I say slowly. I took the flowers that were still in his hand. It was clear that his face had turned happy.

            “Thank you, but..” I looked at him sharply. My eyes were already heating up and almost watering. My hand was raised, and a loud voice sounded. The red traces of my hand were clearly visible on his face. My heart's upset. Many times and the same.

            Luke then shouted. “Zee!! What do you do.” Luke held one of his cheeks.

            Aria who was upset, also looked at me in surprise.

            “Luke, this is my campus. What are you doing here?” my yelling. “Look, everyone sees me like a spectacle. This is what you want?”

            “Zee, you are wrong. I had good intentions of coming here. I want to fix my mistake. You who never understood and gave me a chance.” Luke.

            “How many times?” shouted Aria. He who was silent finally spoke.

            “Luke, you see now. Your selfishness destroys everything. Zee has forgiven you many times. You know that yourself, right?” Aria screamed emotion.

            “Chance? How many do you need? Hundreds of? A thousand? Until you really change yourself. How much has Zee given you a chance?” Aria looked at Luke in annoyance.

            “Who are you talking like that? I'm talking to Zee.” Luke looked annoyedly at Aria. Not liking someone interrupts him or her to speak.

            “I'm someone who hates you even more than Zee. The crazy man he always bought, but in the end was nothing more than a trash.” Aria challenging. The sura sounds very strong.

            People who are already swarming look more and more. Storytelling, vilifying and staring with pleasure. Their phones and cameras are on. Record the events that are happening. A show rarely seen.

            “You!!” say Luke. His hand raised wanted to slap Aria.

            “Enough.” My yelling.

            “What do you want to do Luke?” I looked at Luke.

            “Aria my friend.” My speech. “This is my campus. Stop the. Don't embarrass me again. Our relationship is over and done. You know yourself, right?” I approached Aria, pulling her away from Luke.

            “Zee, give me a chance. I beg.” Her speech.

            “It's Luke, it's over. Don't force me to be more ashamed of this. I'm tired.” Answer looked at him.

            Aria who was standing next to me looked at me sadly. The crowd of people also did not stop and disappeared. It's getting crowded. Nobody helped us or kept Luke away, just watching.

            “Zee?” a voice came from behind the crowd that surrounded us.

            “What happened?” Nathan shifted the crowd and came closer to me. His face looked confused looking at me and Aria. Looking at me with her brown eyes. Seeing me from top to bottom makes sure I'm okay.

            “You!!” Nathan looked at Luke with annoyance. His brown eyes seemed to turn red.
