Gia'S Notebook
Somebody

It was 4 pm, after school I stopped by the park as usual.

The plan was I wanted to draw in a diary, after being inspired by an app on my phone.

I sat on the fresh green grass with a big tree beside me, and in front of me was a soothing river water...

When I was busy drawing, there was not long a human figure who approached me. Like the reply I've been waiting for so long has arrived.

God sent a human being who could change my life.

At first I couldn't believe it. Absolutely impossible. But God proved everything.

" Hey, excuse me, can I sit here?".

"Em. yeah". At that time I just nodded. I don't know, it was the first meeting but there was no doubt in me.

" Thank you very much..". The man sat beside me with a face of spirit.

"... I often see you here alone. Don't you have any friends?".

" You could say that.."

" Oh yeah, I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Alkan".

Frankly I'm a little scared, but stupidly I keep doing a handshake.

" It's good to see you, brother". Seeing his tall stature with a mature and mature face, I called him Alkan's sister.

" What's your name?".

" I'm sorry, I can't say that".

" Look down, I just want to get closer to you".

" Gi-a, brother".

" What a pretty name".

After throwing a warm smile at me, he turned his gaze to the diary I held.

" Are you drawing that?".

" yes". My answer.

" Can I see it more clearly?".

" Em. yes bo-leh". I gave the book to him.

" Gia, what does this painting mean?'.

I thought for a long time, and finally I just answered what was on my mind.

" This picture means an independent adult woman, who keeps her own problems all the time. Working late into the night to earn money, and taking care of himself without thinking of anyone else. The woman who made career number 1 in her life, trying to love herself, and become a successful woman to achieve freedom.."

" Whoa. the meaning is deep".

"... If only I could". I'm pensive. That word just came out of my mouth.

" What are you talking about?". His voice made me realize.

Brother Alkan gave the book back to me while saying. " Your painting is so beautiful, so lucky I finally got to see it. From the beginning I was very curious about what you were painting. Sorry, I've been watching you a lot".

" It's okay, brother".

" What's so good about this painting?". I said in my heart of disbelief.

" I also noticed, why do you often linger here just to look up at the sky?".

" Many beautiful abstracts are painted on the clouds". Answer's short.

" You're right.... Look at!! the cloud is heart-shaped." He pointed his hand up.

"" Wow, that's so pretty!." I smiled thinly.

Brother Alkan looked at me with his beautiful eyes. Unintentionally, we look at each other. However, I could not look at him for too long, I became misbehaved.

" But do you know what's prettier than that cloud".

" What brother?".

" Smile, Gia. Beautiful and sweet".

" Umm. thanks." I was so pleased by her compliments. Andra's tone was very sincere, I felt that.

" Give me back, Gia" she answered.

" Do you like twilight?." Hearing that question, it again made me pensive. Unknowingly, tears trickled down her cheeks.

" Gia, Gia..." He held my shoulder and called out in a soft voice.

" What's wrong with you?. You're crying?".

" Mm.." I quickly wiped away the tears on my face.

" No, no. There was dust in my eyes, sorry.."

" It's okay Gia. Did my words remind you of someone?".

I tried to look him in the eye. A beautiful, sincere, warm, worried look was on her face.

My feelings are getting worse. I saw the watch on Alkan's hand.

" What time is it, brother?".

I'm trying to shift the conversation.

" Hours 5.30". The answer.

" I'm sorry, brother.. I have to get back home. Thank you for accompanying me here".

I hurried into the items I took out, including the diary.

After a few steps, Brother Alkan called me back.

" gia!! See you soon!." He said while waving his hand at me.

I returned his hand, and went away.
