Patrick
Point of View
"Don't you really intend to stop or say goodbye to Warren?" Keith, in a tone of anger but calm
We were sitting in my room here in the dorm. I was just shocked when Keith was rehearsing. I was just staring at nothing, I didn't want to listen. I may be so cowardly, that I can't save Warren.
"News has been reported just hours later at the NAIA Airport. A plane to Thailand was reported to have exploded. According to passengers, it was flown but unfortunately it exploded. Investigations are still ongoing. The NAIA is still investigating the cause of the explosion..."
I didn't stop the reporter because I was immediately pulled out of the dorm and Keith chased after me. I feel nervous and scared.
"Come on Pat, I'm sure it's not their flight." calming Keith's throat.
We were in the car, Keith driving. He suggest it, he is worried about my situation and we might feel overwhelmed.
"Keith, hurry up!" I ordered but he was calm.
"Keith, please hurry!" I was angry but he just kept calm.
"Keith-"
"Calm down! Do not shout, it doesn't help!" he was so angry that he gave me a reason to realize what is happening.
"Keith, sorry!" I cry

We got to the airport but there was a lot of media and police. I have struggled with many people. I forced myself to turn around and go to the front.
"Pat!" I turned to look at Keith with sadness. I approached him, he was with the police.
"Sir we saw it." and he showed a bracelet. That's the bracelet I gave to Warren
"We're sorry sir." I got down on my knees and this time, water was falling down my eyes.
"Keith, are they sure it's Warren? Keith, he's not dead yet ?! Keith!" I couldn't control my emotions anymore, just kept shedding my tears. Keith had tears in his eyes. I know he wants to cry, but he just keeps it.
"Pat! I don't want to believe it either, but ... it's Warren." he couldn't control it anymore and it exploded.
2 years later ...
"Mr. Patrick, can you please give some inspirational message to your juniors?" I was in the PE Area, we were going to practice basketball but I was suddenly stuck with juniors. I didn't think I could catch them here. Others, I can choose.
"Good Luck." short answer, enough for the PE Area to yell.
I immediately left the area to go straight to the Cafeteria. I just sit.
"It's been two years, Warren. But why are you still here?" I whispered as I stared at the clouds.
"Hey, Keith. Don't be angry." Marvin as he leaned over at the deceased Keith who was sitting opposite me.
"Pat, talk to Keith about it. I was once drafted." Marvin who is still struggling.
"Pat, tell him I don't want to talk to him. Tell him in a cute freshmen talk." Keith continuing to fight Marvin
"That's just asking. It's not my fault that I'm so handsome." I just laughed at the clash between the two.
"Whenever it is, you are windy!" now they will face off.
"It's true ah, that's why you came to my rescue."
They stopped talking when my phone rang. So I took a look at who was calling. I was relieved that Daddy probably wasn't calling.
"Hello, Billy? What's up?"
"Are you with them Keith?" Billy, on the other line
"Yes, they are here. The two are fighting." I replied while laughing
"Okay, that's good. You need to see this. Come to the Lord Cafe. Hurry up."
"What's up?" Keith who has stopped being close to Marvin
"Well, you just go here." I still have something to say but he cut the call.

Immediately we arrived at the Lord Cafe mentioned by Billy. Clear here, bright and full of plants. You can also smell the aroma of their coffee. It's different from other cafes because of the old-fashioned theme, from furniture to their accessories.
"Hey, come here." Billy called us, with Fred. I can't make out their faces because you never know if they are happy or feeling good.
"Hey, Billyboy. Why did you send us here?" Keith's mouth sat still while Marvin sat quietly beside him.
"This is it, you will be surprised at what I say."
"What is it, say so." Keith's been at the forefront of what Billy had to say.
"That's it, he's here, we've seen-"
"Warren?" all I mention the name is stopped. I saw Warren, exiting the counter.
They also looked in the direction Warren was in.
"Actually, he is not Warren. He's Levi." Fred was a little quiet
My eyes just stayed on Warren's smile. He happily serves customers. All the memories we had were returned. From highschool, where I saw him holding a kitten until he became a representative of the faculty of science as Moon.
"Are you sure?" Marvin, could not believe what he was seeing.
We were getting settled as it approached us.
"Good afternoon! Do you need anything." he smiled at us. I glanced at his nametag. Levi.
"I want black coffee." I bravely ordered him as he gazed into his eyes.
"Is that different?" he asked the others.
"Iced coffee." Keith
"Iced coffee for me too" si Marvin
He left to pick up our order. But it was me, still staring at him. I feel good because I got to see that again, even though I knew he wasn't Warren.
"This is your order sir. Enjoy." he said while smiling. We still can't believe what we see. Warren, are you really dead?
