"Celine is Calum's ex. I mean, Calum's ex bestfriend in High School. Calum and I have a crush to her. She is so beautiful, nice, and she looks like... you." cerita Luke. Claire terdiam.
"You remind me of Celine. All that is in her is in you, her kindness, her honesty, her patience, you have everything she has, Claire." kata Luke lagi.
"When I first saw you, I remember Celine. I know your face is not same as her, but there's something in yourself reminds Calum about Celine."
"One day, Calum told Celine about his feelings. He doesn't know if I like Celine. But Celine said she doesn't want to have a relationship. Then, their friendship was tenuous. Until when Calum saw Celine kissing with one of the popular guys at our school. He is mad because Celine has lied to him. Then a few months later Celine moved out and we do not know anymore about her news." cerita Luke. Claire masih diam. Dia menunduk.
"Calum told me that you are very similar to Celine and Calum feel comfortable when he near to you. He is like being near to Celine. He is always calm." lanjut Luke. Dia tidak melihat perubahan raut wajah Claire.
"He said he loves you so much. But I'm so sorry Claire, I gotta say this. Calum still--" perkataan Luke terpotong.
"I know." ucap Claire pelan.
"What?" tanya Luke.
"I know that Calum doesn't love me. He always saw me like he saw Celine. He always think I'm Celine. He loves Celine, not me." kata Claire tajam.
"No, I don't under--"
"Why are you don't understand? Calum still love Celine. He can't move on from Celine. Then he met me and he thinks I'm Celine. He knows me as Celine, not Claire. He said love to me, he sent me some sweet message, he treats me like I'm special to him, but it's wrong. Calum doesn't love me like he loves Celine. Calum doesn't see me. He just saw Celine in myself. He just loves Celine. He just feel comfortable when he's with me but it because he saw me as Celine. I'm Claire, not Celine. Why can't I don't realize it?" Sekarang Claire meletakan tangannya di kepala.
"Maybe it's right, but--"
"But what? You want to say it's wrong? You want to say Calum loves me because I'm Claire not Celine? You want to say that?" tanpa sadar Claire berkata tajam pada Luke.
"I just want to hug you." ucap Luke pelan. Claire menatap Luke dengan pandangan terkejut dan langsung menghambur ke pelukan laki laki itu. Claire menangis. Dia bukan cemburu atau sedih. Claire merasa marah.
"Why can he did this to me?" gumam Claire masih dengan terisak. Dia tidak memperdulikan tatapan aneh para pegawai dan beberapa pengunjung.
"I want to go home." kata Claire beberapa menit kemudian.
"Yeah. Come on. The rain is suddenly stop." balas Luke. Mereka meletakkan beberapa lembar uang di meja, lalu pergi.
"What do you feel?" tanya Luke. Claire berjalan di sebelahnya tanpa mengatakan apa apa.
"Nothing." gumamnya.
"Don't be sad." Luke nyengir dan merangkul Claire. Mendekatkan Claire kedalam dekapannya.
"Why?" tanya Claire.
"I don't like to see you cry." jawab Luke ringan. Claire tersenyum kecil dan merapatkan pelukan Luke yang hangat.
"I don't like to being sad too." kata Claire. Dia nyengir.

"I can still taste you like it was yesterday
Making plans to rule the world, you were more than I deserved
I see you running in the sand, long hair blowing in the wind
Never thought that it would end."
Claire menatap Aby dari kaca spion tengah yang bernyanyi riang saat sebuah lagu terputar di radio.
Oh, jangan lagi.
"Leaves fall from the tallest trees
Even mountains crumble into the sea
Holding on to memories
And I can't let go."
Sekarang Luke yang sedang menyetir di sampingnya ikutan bernyanyi.
"I wanna get back to where we started to the summer night
You know, you know, you know, you know we got it right
Yeah I wanna get back to San Francisco, in the fire light
You know, you know, you know, you know we had it right." Michael tersadar dan berteriak bersama kedua temannya sedangkan Claire melongo.
"Remember that weekend when we got out of town?
Drove into infinity, I held you 'til you fell asleep
Without you, the smell of your perfume
Reminds me of when we were free, I swear that it's still haunting me." Luke bernyanyi sendiri membuat suaranya terdengar sangat jelas. Claire terpana karena dia jarang melihat Luke bernyanyi langsung.
"Leaves fall from the tallest trees
Even mountains crumble into the sea
Holding on to memories
And I can't let go."
"I wanna get back to where we started to the summer night
You know, you know, you know, you know we got it right
Yeah I wanna get back to San Francisco, in the fire light
You know, you know, you know, you know we had it right."
Klik.
Radio mati. Luke, Aby dan Michael menatap Claire dengan pandangan jengkel.
"It's a wrong way!" Claire menabok lengan Luke. Luke menatap ke arah depan dan tersadar.
"London Eye is on the left way, not this way." Omel Claire lagi. Luke nyengir dan memutar balik mobil Claire. Mereka ingin ke London Eye yang katanya ada pertunjukan kembang api nanti malam.
"Here we go." Luke memarkirkan mobil. Ini sudah sore dan matahari sudah tenggelam.
"Hey, do you bring your camera?" tanya Luke pada Claire.
"It's here." Aby muncul dan memberikan Luke kameranya.
"Thanks." jawab Luke. Mereka berjalan dengan Luke yang mengalungkan kamera di lehernya.
"I want that." kata Claire sambil menunjuk sebuah permen kapas yang lumayan besar.
"You must play that games." Luke menunjuk permainan basket disampingnya.
"Ouh, okay. I can't play that games." kata Claire sedih. Mereka berjalan lagi.
"Me and Aby want to find some food. You want to go?" tanya Michael.
"I'm not hungry." jawab Claire dan Luke mengangguk menanggapi.
"Okay." kata Aby. Mereka berdua pergi.
"Wait in there. Don't going anywhere." Luke menunjuk sebuah ayunan.
"Where are you going?" tanya Claire.
"Toilet." jawab Luke. Claire hanya mengangguk dan duduk di ayunan. Disini sangat ramai sehingga dalam sekejap Luke menghilang dari pandangannya.
Claire menunggu beberapa menit tetapi Luke belum juga datang. Dia sudah 20 menit menunggu dan akhirnya memutuskan untuk menelpon Luke.
Tut.
Sambungannya digantikan oleh suara operator yang membuat Claire mendengus. Luke tidak menjawab telponnya.
"Hey!" Luke mengagetkan Claire dari belakang membuat gadis itu menjerit tertahan.
"Ugh! What are you doing?" tanya Claire. Luke duduk di sebelah Claire dengan napas terengah engah dan tubuh sedikit berkeringat.
"For you." Luke menyodorkan permen kapas berbentuk love yang tadi Claire inginkan.
"What? Why.. why can you--Oh, don't say that you played that game?" tanya Claire. Luke nyengir tapi mengangguk.
"Oh, you don't have to do this. But anyway, thanks." ucap Claire. Luke tersenyum.
"Anything for you, babe."
