Under Our Memorial Banyan Tree
The weather is hot today. The sun is shining so bright and letting the angers out as hot sunlights. Lots of students are coming out of the main school gate.... But there's too many people so they're pushing each other to get out of the gate as quick as possible. But there's a student, walking slowly even the school gate is about to close back by the keeper. She looks like she doesn't care about anyone and just being in her own imaginary world with a pair of earphones, plugged into her phone. A song named "As It Was" by Harry Styles is appearing on her low brightness with night mode themed phone screen. She looks calm and lonely at the same time.
"Hey kid, walk quickly! We're gonna close the gate after a few minutes!" shouted the old gate keeper. He has been working as gate keeper for years. She always sees him since she was in elementary. Now she's almost gonna finish her high school years. "I might be missing this school when I'm out of school one day" she thought as she was speeding up her steps.
There are still those students who pushed their selves to get home quickly when she's out of the school gate. Yeah, that one school bus is late again....I can see some young students slowly filling up with tears in their eyes because they are gonna be late when they're back to home. Some older students looks like they're being the most bored people on the world. Look at their faces, their faces which are letting out thousands of sighs within one minute describes it all.
She cut her thoughts and just try to focus on her things. "What do I need to do today?" she thought, "A lot but those aren't serious" her brain replied. "Okay, then I guess I'm just gonna spend today under the Banyan tree too....." she thought as she said quietly to herself. Since she is free, she's gonna let her thoughts on other people continue again.
Looking at the students who are walking the same way as her, some are covering their heads by their small hands which aren't even big enough to cover their faces, some are covering with books and some are covering with their umbrellas. There's another team too, the love birds. Yea, some highschool couples creating their own romance stories at their way back to home. That's what people called a fun teenage life right? I wish I had a partner to cover my head from sunlight too lol but now my face is already burned by sun while I'm drowning into my daydreams.
Step by step walking slowly on the pavements near the road, listening to another song "Line Without A Hook" by Ricky Montgomery. I can feel my deepest emotions when I'm listening to this, that's why it's being one of my top listed comfort songs. After a few minutes of walking, I see that place, my comfort place.
A Banyan tree surrounded by small flowers near it. There's a bunch under it and if you sit there, you'll see a beautiful lake with water reflecting the sunlight in it. Also there's a very special thing for me, it's a swing! It can fit one people easily but if two people sits very very closely, it might fit too. Running quickly to the bunch and put down my heavy backpack full of books on it. I got only one thought on my mind, Swing! Swing! Swing! I sat down on the swing quickly and started to swing happily. My mind is light as a feather right now so do my body!
After a while, I walked back to the bunch where I put my backpack on it. Found for any snacks to eat but at the end it was only the pudding stuffed bread that I dislike. Since I only have this, I have no choice but to eat it. I took one bite of it when my brain starts to explore my thoughts again while I'm sitting. I was thinking too many problems now my brain hurts. "Let me dip myself into imagination" I thought as I took out my favourite fiction from my backpack. It was kinda struggling to take out because there were too many books including that one too.
Took almost one hour reading that book. But still there's lots of pages left to finish it. The pudding bread is gone and already on its way to go into the stomach. "I think I need to go back home now....I spent almost one and half hour here. But I don't think anyone would be worrying about me... Do I really need to go back? " my heart demanded my mouth to let out those words but my brain replied by "You need to take care of yourself even though if no one cares, fool!" "Alright then I'm going back" I thought while I was preparing to go back home. I took out my diary and wrote it. "Today was surely a great day. At least I had less stress and problems than the other days" I wrote down with other little feelings I had too. Well.... I guess it would be the best if everyday is the same as today!
×××××××××××
"Thank you for buying here. Come here next time too!" said slowly while letting out a long sigh. Today's surely a very busy day....Am I just gonna go back home like this? With these sore legs for standing at the counter for hours. Literally feeling like I'm the most tired person on the whole world right now. Sweats drops down onto the floor which I just cleaned 3 hours ago. Of course, opening my phone to call her because she's the only way to get me out of stressing things. Pressing the call button on a contact named "My sweetheart". There was a sound of answering the phone on the other side.
"Hey babe!"
"Hello babe, do you have anything to tell me?"
"Oh.... Are you busy? I have nothing serious to say but I just wanted to hear your sweet voice babe"
"Awww babe, I'll call you later. My boss is calling me right now. Ughhhh he really is a clingy person!"
"Ahh... Ah okay. Then, let's talk tonight! Bye babe!"
"Bye my love!"
I wanted to talk more but since her boss is calling her, I'll just have to talk later.... But I think I'm energetic enough to go home now after hearing her sweet voice! Ahhhh my babe is the best! I thought and said to my own self as I was trying to grab my bicycle to go back home. The evening was beautiful with a girl thinking about her lover while riding on a bike near a lake.....A background being the lake with orange colored sunset.
