Love Petal Falls's
Chapter 118: Alone in the middle of the festival
Evening came, Sara who had just returned from work finally decided to go to the city festival alone, instead of accepting Rony's invitation last afternoon.
"I ended up lying to Rony, and instead chose to go to this festival alone!"
Sara enjoys the city festival that just started tonight. Hundreds of stands ranging from food to accessories stand along the streets of Montegi city square, as well as various local attractions that alternate at the show. Walking up to the festival atmosphere in the autumn alone, there were so many men and women who had been passing by from so many directions. Old, young, even aged couples exist.
"Jealous" That word is suitable to describe the atmosphere of Sara's heart today. Sara is jealous to see those who can freely join hands, jealous to see the couples embrace each other, and jealous to see other couples can throw laughter of joy at each other. No doubt it made Sara, only able to smile bitterly and look enviously at them.
"If only me and Ryuzen could be like that..." Sara struggled with the wishful thinking that flashed through her mind, when she saw another couple passing in front of her alternately. As for him, he can only dream without any certainty about his relationship with Ryuzen, which is only limited to black on white.
Sara, tired of walking, decides to rest in a tavern guarded by a middle-aged woman. The woman offers various types of drinks, ranging from milk tea, smoothies, to various kinds of bubble drinks and various fruit juices. He finally sat on a medium-sized stand that provided several chairs for buyers who want to rest for a moment.
"Miss, do you want something to drink?" ask the aunt of the stand guard.
Sara smiles sweetly at the aunt's offer, and Sara orders a glass of strawberry smoothie for her. A glass of strawberry smoothie Sara thought was able to cheer her up in the midst of her turmoil that was whipping her heart at this moment.
A few minutes later, the strawberry smoothie he ordered was finally ready to drink, Sara sipped it and....
"Hem, fresh too!" concluded Sara.
"Did you come to this festival alone?" the aunt of the stand guard suddenly asked Sara.
"Yes, I came alone!" sara's reply followed a smile on her lips.
"Do you want to hear a romantic story coming from this town?" Sara seemed interested to listen to it, she finally nodded and asked the guardian's aunt to tell her the romantic story, as well as a means to kill time while spending drinks in her glass.
~~
About twenty minutes passed, Sara's drink had run out was not left, he was carried away by hearing the story that had just been told by the aunt of the drink stand keeper.
"I never knew there was such a story from this town" Sara said.
"The romantic story is not everyone knows, and it's not all people believe, either" said the aunt who was later met with a warm smile by Sara.
"Auntie..it looks like I have to go, thanks for the drink and the interesting story, I love it...!" Sara then gave some money to pay for the smoothie she had finished drinking before leaving Sara took the time to ask the aunt, "Oh yes, aunt herself believes the story you told earlier?"
"To be honest I believe in disbelief, but what's the harm in fantasizing a little for a sweet myth!" the aunt said, Sara smiled at the aunt's reply. He went to the aunt of the stand guard.
"Then I go first, thank you again."
"Together," replied the aunt.
Finally, Sara left the booth, and intended to find some funny trinkets that she might be able to make a lucky object. A few minutes walk to find a store that attracts his heart, the choice fell on a small stand that sells a variety of accessories and key chains. Sara with a definite step and without hesitation, just visited the store.
~~
Unexpectedly unexpected, when Sara was choosing accessories, there was Rony across there, who also visited the festival in the city today. He saw Sara who was busy looking at accessories.
"Sara...?" said Rony. He tried to call Sara but the frenetic atmosphere of the festival made his voice seem swallowed by the amount of time. Rony decided to walk himself to Sara, but his steps were slightly hampered by the sudden march of attraction in front of him. As a result Rony stopped his steps, and waited for the march to finish and followed Sara.
"Ah shit! I lost track of Sara!" said Rony who lost track of where Sara is now. Rony tries to contact Sara via mobile phone but it looks like Sara's phone is dead, he is now forced to visit and glance at every corner in the festival area to find Sara. Unexpectedly the shoots in love ulam also arrived, Rony managed to find Sara who is now in a shop that sells local snacks. Not wanting to lose track again, Rony finally asked a small child to give a piece of the message he had written, to give to Sara.
The little boy rushed to give the piece of paper to Sara. "Miss.." call Rony's errand boy while pulling Sara's clothes. Sara also looked at it.
"What's the little brother?" sara's reply followed her sweet smile. "This..," said the little boy as he handed him a small piece of paper containing Rony's writing.
"What's this?" sara asked astonished, the little boy only grabbed his shoulders and immediately left Sara. Lazy curious for a long time, Sara immediately read the writing on the paper. Sara was made strange after reading the writing, she also thought about who wrote this message for her. Of course, the first person who was caught in Sara's mind was Ryuzen Han, but he did not want to expect too far at this time. Finally Sara decided to go to the place written on the message, to find out who actually sent the message for her.
Sara was already standing near the big clock that was in the town square, she had been standing there about five minutes waiting. "It's weird, telling people to wait here, but he hasn't come yet!" sara Gumam.
Meanwhile, Rony quickly walked to the place where he asked Sara to wait for him, in the hands of Rony was now a red rose that he would give to Sara later.
"Sara, wait for me there. I'm sure the universe must also predestine us to meet," said Rony who looks so optimistic.
Sara who was waiting there began to get cold, plus her clothes even though it was warm enough but still, cold air could infiltrate through the cracks.
"Why should I wait in this place?
But.. standing here, I'm reminded of the romantic myth that aunt told me about the lovers that were met where I now stand."
According to what the natives of this city say, many say if two people who love each other meet at the exact moment when the big clock bell behind Sara rings then their love will be forever. It's a sweet myth, but for Sara, the myth is just a myth that may be deliberately on the reef by the natives of this city, to attract tourists who come to visit this city.
Rony gets closer to Sara, even seeing Sara who is now standing waiting for the presence of someone who he thinks is himself.
"Sara.." said Rony saw the girl whose heart he would soon meet, Rony, Rony carved a smile on his lips as it was not until 5 meters away that he would meet Sara at a place believed to be where two people were destined to meet.
"Sara...!" exclaim Rony quietly.
*ding dong ding dong (the sound of a big clock finally sounds)
