Heaven Life

10 - Scenery Together

After the rain yesterday, the sun has finally come out. It shines its rays as if it was the raindrops onto the earth, brightening the greens and the blues and the man-made colors. Flora has awakened from her sleep and readies herself for the trip, while Yuuki is barely collecting his spirit. He drinks a big glass of water then washes his face. Then a little thought crosses over his head: why not also take a shower while he's at it? And so he did.

After both have showered and dried themselves, Flora and Yuuki pick a different type of clothes they wore from yesterday: Flora with a long-sleeved white shirt for outdoors and a pair of blue jeans – the same jeans from yesterday albeit a different pair. And Yuuki's a short-sleeved dark blue buttoned shirt with navy-colored pair of jeans. Shoes? Flora's white and Yuuki's black with white base – both are sneakers. Modern trend.

Once done, they head out to the appointed place first before heading out to the mountain. They meet together along the way.

"Yuuki!" Flora shouts and waves excitedly at Yuuki, although the boy only smiles and raises his hand a bit as a response, only saying, "Hi," once he gets closer to her.

"Nice shirt." Yuuki comments on Flora's new set of outfits. "It's nice – a fresh set from yesterday."

"You too." She comments Yuuki feels a little flutter but it quickly disappears. Perhaps he doesn't take compliments too well?

"Thanks!"

But it felt nice nonetheless.

The pair then walk together to the aforementioned place where they'll be riding a taxi to the spot. It's pretty nice, isn't it? You can just book a taxi and it takes you to whatever spot you've booked at a relatively good price. Not to mention when the driver is a friendly guy or gal, makes it a better ride.

Anyway, the two also accompany their walk with a little chattering.

"So how is the spot you're talking about?"

"It's a lovely scenic spot. You're on the side of the road – but it's wide so you don't need to worry about oncoming vehicles. And once you've arrived, you are greeted with a sense of vastness from how far the plain stretches to the mountain range on the other side. The air and wind feels so fresh. It's a great spot after you're done doing the morning jog, you know? Hehe."

Sounds lovely. Yuuki's attention just got a little more interested.

"How far is it from here?"

"Mmm, pretty far."

That answer got Yuuki's attention shattered. If only it were closer… Ah, but for this one, you gotta grin at it, right? Flora invited after all.

"But it's alright, we'll be riding in a taxi this time."

"Alhamdulillah. よかった…" It suddenly doesn't feel as bad. Flora notices this hidden expression and lets out a little giggle.

"If you want, you can always drive on something and I jog by myself all the way there."

"Hmm, perhaps."

She smiles. And another question is fired.

"So, how have you been doing?"

"I'm okay. Eh, but didn't you already ask me that yesterday?"

"Ah, I meant your life. How's your life these past months?"

"Huh… Well… It's kinda boring."

"Hm?"

"Well, you know. Even though I got all the time in the world to play all these games, there are times where I just want to go out of my bedroom and do something different. Though I don't know where to go, cus I'm not familiar with the roads, you know?" Plus I got a bad sense of direction and all I see are online reviews. I don't really engage in them, honestly."
