I said that and all but.. what should I write??? Well.. at least I successfully stolen a hug..
But if it's about a random wish..
I turn my attention to him who's already seriously writing at the white part of the paper with a pink pen.. Soft pastel pink complements him well..
"What's wrong?"
He asks curiously..
"I want to see the wishes.."
"Hey~ No cheating.."
"I'm not cheating!"
"Yours is blank!"
"Fine!"
I take a purple pen and transfer opposite from him.. He just scowls like a kid and focuses back to his list..
Well..
This isn't bad..
***
I notice how he became troubled of what to write. He keeps turning and turning, scratching his head from time to time, then become excited again and about to write but will suddenly hit his forehead to the window.
"What's making a bucket list hard?"
I inquire..
He then turn to me erasing his earlier frown..
"I don't know exactly.."
"Then what's making it difficult for you to list yours?"
"Uhm.. Or.. Instead.. what is making it easy for you to write?"
"Well for me, I, want to do a lot of things which I fail to do before.. I always follow what everyone expects me to do.. Forgetting a lot about myself."
He nodded..
"Then for me, I do and say things the moment I feel it. I react before I think.. So if there's anything.. I wish I can fix most of them. I wish to be better in thinking and live with less regrets for doing stupid things due to impulsiveness."
"But I think, it's not bad to be carefree."
"It's carelessness.. the happiness don't last long.. after I reflect on things.."
"So.. What about you write it down now? Instead of short term goals, you can try goals in a longer pace. Goals that will help you to be better."
He just fall silent that makes me shitty awkward..
"What?"
"You know.. That's one of the best thing I heard for a long time."
He gave me a smile, it's kind and warm.. before he return his attention back to his pen and picture..
I also decide to give him more time.. at least, he looks like he knows what he wants now..
***
I take a glance to him, he's just staring at the window. He looks calm and serene.
"Let's do a bet.."
"Are you done?"
"Of course~ Didn't take me long.."
My heart immediately dance along with his laugh..
"Yeahh.. Not that much.."
Geez.. He's teasing..
"Yeahh.. Not much so let's do a bet.. I want to know if I'm lucky today.."
"You're lucky already to have me here.."
He's right. He's beautiful and smart.
"I just want to test it.."
***
"Test it? Then what are we betting for?"
"Let's bet if it will rain.. or not.."
Rain? Why rain?
"Then which is your choice?"
"It will rain.. because I'm lucky."
***
He rolled his eyes not amused of my words..
"Fine.. then mine is today will not rain.. and?"
"And?"
"What's the reward?"
Ehh? Do I have enough money?
"Reward? What about a punishment?"
"Okay.. What is it then?"
***
"What??"
"Honshibori Grapefruit.."
"Is that even allowed here?"
"Sshhh~"
He gesture to lower my voice after he show the canned drink from his savage luggage.
"Yes.. So the punishment! Is to drink this 'juice', and that's it!"
***
His lips are curved into a smile but doesn't actually look like smiling..
"No."
He answer flatly.
"Ehhhh~ you didn't even think about it~ you just rejected it~"
I whined but, why???
"First because it's Grapefruit, second it has alcohol."
"What about it?"
"Not. Allowed."
He emphasize, but.. Uwaaaaahh~
