-Tiere

Jakarta, Indonesia

I’m getting bored of living here alone, I start missing him already.. Should I move back?

Tiere took a deep breath, watching the view of the city from her balcony. They have been dating for two years. So many things changed, so many challenges, and so her life is getting rough.

drrttt drrttt drrttt

Unknown number popped up from the screen, this isn’t the first time.

It must be mom. She is currently running from her debts, her young husband is a fraud.

“Tiere”

She took a deep breath answering “Yes, mom”

Both of my parents keep on bothering my life, but with Ryan by my side. I never give up.

“Have you transfer the amount? I need it already! They keep on barging my house!”

“Yes mom”

How can I say no if my parents are in danger? I don’t even know she is really in danger or not.

“Please on time or I’ll probably be killed”

“Okay mom”

There’s a new girl from the same department. We meet a lot since she sits next to my desk. She is pretty, stunning, smart and also an introvert. We both talk a lot about games.

I and Tiere has been dating for 3 years. Well, of course I miss her. We love and shares a lot about works, but we also fight a lot. Moreover when I saw Tiere’s manager keep on tagging her at Instagram.

Is that mean I am jealous?

Damn, he is so handsome.. and.. photogenic..

“For you” a box of chocolate delivered to my desk. I cocked my head looking at the blonde woman smiling sheepishly to me. Her cheeks blossom in pink.

“I-I-I made it myself”

“T-thanks” and I looked down. Damn this is awkward! And my heart is racing...

“I-I met someone that..”

Tiere waiting for me to continue.

“She-she is..”

Still, I couldn’t say it out. I found someone that likes the same thing with me, understand me more than how Tiere does. Moreover when, that someone is here with me, not in the other city.

Tiere blew a harsh breath, looking up to the sky from the tall balcony.

“I wish you could talk to me more, Ryan... Whatever happen to you, matters our relationship” she said with a smile.

From her face, I know she’s not okay. I know she is about to cry. But this strong woman will never cry in front of me.

Love is weird.

It started from a quiet crazy friendship we had since elementary school, Tiere disappearance after graduation, we met up on her break ups, we hang out as friends, fake dating to make my crush jealous, end it with the thought I'm going to date the woman I've been waiting for, which is my first love, then we get back together as real couple when I realized that first love deals nothing with someone that I will never truly get over, someone I can't ignore, someone I give my heart to, more importantly someone who appreciates love. We have plot twisting drama during that time. Yep, drama happens in real life sometimes.

My long pointy fingers playing the white keys, creating soft tones. The melody brought me to some memories of ours, the beauty of our love, the trust we build since 3 years ago. I always miss her, sometimes I'd fly over the island just to see her. How dramatic. I must admit it that I miss her every day and night.

And the point is, I regret the mistakes I made. I ruined everything easily, but never get the chance to fix them.

In the past, I took both piano and guitar lesson altogether. Then Tiere learnt guitar herself after few times she saw me playing. She still had her father's guitar with her until now. Even though her parents abandoned her, she never once hate them. Look how kind she is, sometimes I think she is stupid.

She is a pure angel from earth.

I tried to refrain myself since the day one we made our choice to split. I've never wanted this to happen. Why would I agree to such decision?

I can never turn back time like magic and made things work as I wanted.

I cocked my head up with eyes closed, inhaling the wooden smell of my living room. The melody plays inside me, churning in my ears, pumping my heart and my brain is spinning around the notes. I feel the song in me, my fingers dancing above the keys, all I wanted today is to calm myself down.

I play the last part of the song.

Liszt – La Campanella is pretty hard, only some expert could play it well. Honestly, I'm actually quiet good at this and I love music for no reason since I was a kid, I wonder why mom never asked me to become pianist or a composer instead of business man, cause I'll be thinking twice if she did.

Right now, I am playing the song that brought me back to past. The very first time of my life I feel I want to return back to that time...

That time, that day, I remember well the weather is clear, bright in sky blue. I had my window closed, but I still can feel the vibes of a beautiful day.

My eyes glances at the note as my fingers never stop moving. I play music a lot recently since Tiere likes to hear me playing. She always liked to stand by the piano when I'm playing, or sat beside me while I'm playing guitar.

Liszt – La Campanella is the song I finished for her.

"COOLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

Tiere claps her hand and exclaimed vigorously.

"You are still good at it" she rested her chin on her palm. We'd spend the night for video calls when we have nothing to do after work. I miss her so much. I can't resist but I want to meet her as soon as possible.

I shrugged and tilted my glasses, acting cool, "Of course I am. Want me to take my guitar?" like a manga sensei character something. I'm still the gamer freak and Otaku.

(*Senpai: a teacher or instructor usually of Japanese martial arts (such as karate or judo)

(*Otaku: (Japanese: おたく or オタク) is a Japanese term for people with consuming interests, particularly in anime and manga)

Right, I admit it cause I still watch Anime. Currently watching Assasination Classroom on Netflix. Tiere too, we discuss about it sometimes. We were both raised and hang out only with Otaku in high school, so I assume we are 30% affected by them.

(*Assassination Classroom: (Japanese: 暗殺教室, Hepburn: Ansatsu Kyōshitsu) is a Japanese science fiction comedy manga series written and illustrated by Yūsei Matsui. )

"Are you posing as a p*rnstar?" she quirked an eyebrow.

I looked at her from the screen and sighed, "Do I look like a p*rnstar?" she's kidding right?

And we still talk like in high school too, even sometimes it's.... more.... too primitive, like...

It happened right around 3 months ago when I visited Tiere.

"Hey" she was about to lift her whole hoodie but I stopped her, "Hmm" she hummed, looking at me straight to the eye without feeling guilty. Is she not aware about me as a man?

"Are-are you gonna change in front of me?" I stammered, honestly my heart is beating so fast. I have never take a single look behind her shirt, even once.

"I am wearing sport bra inside" she jutted her lips out.

"But still.." I said through clenched teeth.

Tiere looked at me innocently, like a kid demanding answers. It makes me wonder what is inside her head, is she really innocent or what. She looked so dumb all of sudden that makes me confused. Then Tiere lifted her whole hoodie up on the spur of the moment without warning, I could see her bare skin and shocking pink sport bra with a tiny Nike logo in the middle, "OPPAI!!!!"

(*From the Japanese word for “breasts,” oppai refers to a female character's oversized “tits” in manga and anime)

"ARGHHH" I quit the room as she laughs so loudly, I can hear Tiere snickering behind the door even I shut it tight. Why so happy to show off her ****** for me?

I never wanted anything more than what we do as a couple right now, I love her, I want to keep her safe and respect her privacy. Kissing, hugging, cuddling are more than enough. I used to hold myself back, stop talking too dirty that could probably turn me on. I don't want to be that kind of pathetic pervert. As my girlfriend, Tiere herself clingily seduce me although I am holding my guts.

The day I spent with her always the best day ever despite of the long distance relationship. She lives really well since she moved out of town and found something more interesting to do, while herself previously struggle much to fulfill her own life expenses. Right now, she has no worries anymore, ever since she moved to another company a year ago. The new company gives her the payment others can't afford, and plus she's promoted this week.

"So...." finally folded the lid down, my hand holding my phone and eyes looking at her close up face, "Do you love your new job?"

Tiere stretched her arms up to the air, at the same time she smiles, her smile is always somehow addicting, "Yeaaa... I kinda love it, even though they are far from what I've expected.. I mean, I expect an easier work. I love working as interior designer too like previously, but the payment I got more is when I work freelance for it" she leaned her head on the table, looking at me through the screen. I always love the way she looked at me, so pure, calming and cute.

"Don't work too much, Tiere. I'll kill you if you stay all night working" I pressed my words, I notice she works so late and have to woke up so early in the other day. Her lips sealed for a while, but then she smiles, showing her teeth, "That's fine, baby. I am happy" she said, "Just..."

I raised my eyebrows, was waiting for her next words, "I kinda miss you" she pouted.

Arghhh, this is so frustrating! I just visited her 3 months ago when I took a week off from my company. Just before, I'd do anything to meet her at least three days but recently the manager took an eye from me, he used to be so forgetful but maybe I took too many permission to make him remember. I could lost my job someday. Shit man, missing her is sucks!

"It's fine! I have never take any leave for you.. I am so sorry" due to her freelances and else, Tiere has never take a leave ever since she moved out of town. I understand her, besides of working in a big and well known company, she has her own freelance job to do.

"It's okay..." I touched the screen, imagining myself touching her fluffy cheek, "I promise to visit you next time" I added. I never doubt her time for me, she is working so hard for herself, I must understand her. Born as just an ordinary, parents throw her out all of sudden. Working to earn a lot of money makes her happy, it's the first time for her to live a fancy life herself. As I myself was born rich, nothing lack of in my life. I could have anything from my parents and they are fulfilling my needs whenever I need it. But as time, I am a grown up man, and I don't spend much. I just spend my money for visiting Tiere, game vouchers and half of my salary for my savings. So my salary is more than enough for myself.

I should be grateful, I am lucky.

"Don't force yourself, baby. I promise I'll take some time to visit you back in hometown"

As long as she loves me, I don't care how busy she is. We are doing just fine.

"Are-"

"Don't argue with me!!" she glares. Okay, she meant it.

Although I miss everything about her. I miss when she spoiled me, when she touches my hair that tickling my skin, when she lets me lean on her laps and brush my eyebrows with her tiny fingers, when I lean on her chest listening to her heart beats. I miss everything we do as couple.

"Baby, I miss you so much"

"I miss you too, Tiere"

The sound of the waves slapping the sands, over and over again. I've always wanted to work in this building, right by the beach. I could spend my lunch break enjoying the view, either from the building or sitting above the golden sand while warm wind blowing my skin.

I stood up in bare feet and the cool water laps my feet, fizzing and bubbling like brine. The sun is beating my suit, the lights beaming in my eyes, I can't help but smile as the wind spoiling my face. Waves ahead roar and roll down, crashing onto the shore with a soft and calming hiss, and then my feet would sunk a few inches beneath the golden sand.

I first thought I'll be grateful, working with view and thus I don't feel burden to work in technology department cause I am really good at it. I can finish the whole thing in 2 days, with me working 24x2 non stop. I could say I am genius. However, why would I still feel like I need something more in my life? Why would I be so ungrateful?

ddrrttt drrrttt drrrttt

It's stifingly hot to wear such thick suits in tropical country. I rolled up my sleeves and took the vibrating phone out from my navy blazer and saw the name Bobby popped up from the screen. Sometimes I'd reject it cause all he wants to discuss is either about Anime or game during my working hours, only when I was extremely busy. Bobby is the grateful chick, he just need to play game, talk in front of the camera while gaming, sharing his gaming tips, then post them online to Youtube. He made that kind of easy money, when he admits that his job isn't that easy, he once told me about the rude haters or the real struggle to keep his gaming career on top.

"Huftt" just before I pick up his call. It's so hot today, I can feel my sweat soaking my back.

"YOOOOOOOOOOO!!" he sent me a heart attack once I put it on my ear, I startled.

"Yes, whaz-up?" I pressed my voice, his magic words whenever he's in live streaming.

"Whoaaaaaa are you mocking meeee?" he is always energic, I supposed he drinks 4 bottles of energy drink every day. He could yell and scream and talk so loudly non stop for hours.

I shrug, "No, anything fun to tell?" have no idea what is he going to talk about this time.

ping ping

"Wait" I said, I checked my phone quickly, eyes scanning the screen.

"What??" Bobby doesn't understand, he keeps on talking, "Is your manager here too? Isn't it your lunch break?"

Tiere: Babyy!!! You know you know?!!!

Tiere: I have good newssss!!!

I typed swiftly on the screen.

Me: Yes baby? What is it? You're promoted again? After a month?

It's been a month since she was promoted as a group leader.

"Hey hey dude. Why no answer?? Are you asleep on the beach? I heard the seagulls singing in the sky\~ O o o o" Bobby sang his self created song with unbelievably dreadful lyrics.

I put my phone back to my ear again, "Yo. I'm back"

"Lord, why are you ignoring meee??? Hiks hiks"

"Ahh... Just..."

ping

Another text message.

"Wait, what?? Is that Tiere you are texting?" Bobby sighed, then made some old man's giggles, "So this is really how it feels while having a girlfriend"

Tiere: They raised my salary, if I work with the manager

Me: Are you not the group leader?

ping

"Heyyy, heyy... My friend, my lord. Aaaaaa" he faked his panic as Bobby heard another ping of my phone.

Tiere: I am. They suggested me to work with the Manager as his secretary, they are raising 20% of my main payment, plus the bonus every month.

Me: Is it a he? And he's an old man?

I know I sound like an idiot to ask such childish question. Somehow I was just curious. Moreover when Tiere used to work alone, or with her friend Agnes, our middle school classmate. Working with a young man would be so new to me.

ping

"Alright, Ryan I'll be waitingggggg\~"

Tiere: It's a he, hmmm.... He's quiet young, I heard the manager retired so his son will take his position. They're moving my stuffs into his office right now. But he's not here, has no guts to ask them since I'm pretty new.

Me: Oh...

Tiere: It's okay, baby. He is not that good looking. My baby is more good looking than anyone in this universe. Even Leonardo DiCaprio is....

Me: Stop it.... don't do that to me. Ah!

Pfft, it's disgusting but I don't know why I am fluttering. She knows how to brighten up my moods.

"What? Why are- you giggling like a woman?! Arghhhh"

I put my phone back to my ear, I've been leaving this dude too long without let him know what I was up to.

"Yo. What's up?" after all, Tiere must be busy with her new career.

"Ryan??" but all of sudden I heard someone calling for my name. I turned my body to seek for the person. Alinka, my head department. A woman in her 30s with his tight brown blazer running in slow motion towards me, the sand is sucking her heels, "Ryann!!" she yelled again, waving her hand at me.

"Gonna talk to you later, Bob"

"Whuat?! B-" I hung up without he even got to finish his word.

I ran back to the lobby, with Alinka talking on the phone. Once she is finished, she looked at me, "We've interviewed a new employee. You need to guide her later, okay? She's working at social media department with us" she explained. I nod my head in agreement, then Alinka pushed her office entrance and there stood a young woman with her blonde hair tied in ponytail, fair skin, a pair of big eyes, tiny nose, natural blush on her cheeks and a sexy maroon lips. Her body is petite and she looks really cute. Wearing that pair of pink suit suits her best, she looks so kawaii like a Japanese cosplayer.

(Kawaii (Japanese: かわいい or 可愛い, pronounced [kaɰaiꜜi];"lovely", "lovable", "cute", or "adorable") is the culture of cuteness in Japan)

"Viola. This is Valerian, your senior. Call her senior"

The girl stretched her hand towards me, to shake mine. I was stoned a while of her beauty, but then I cleared my throat, "I'm Ryan. Nice to meet you" I grabbed her hand firmly and shake it, her hand is tiny and soft. The girl name Viola smiling sheepishly, she nods her head and begin walking with me and Alinka.
