Fading Alive(2)

As the school year ended, many of the students were moving away. Their departure was not for any other reasons, but all for the fear of that impeding “alien invasion” catastrophe. A safe shelter to hide was the only thing they wanted, and school was not one of the trusted options.
Anang was an excellent student and a talented artist. Just like how she was passionate about knowing the world, she was also fond in visual arts and music. From jealousy to understanding, Aquarius, one of her classmates, became into her best friend through connections built by the media of colors and melodies. However, talking about where these friends came from, no words can define. They were speaking a beautiful language that has a name only their society understood. Talking about their “society”, not saying the term of “nation”, even the basic unit’s name of “city” wasn’t being defined in any ways.

As Anang stepped on her way back home, Aquarius couldn’t stop concerning her best friend’s wellness. Softly, even quieter than the gentle flow of water, she followed Anang all the way back to her cottage. Under the starry night sky and the glimmering moonlight, this was night that sank into a deep silence. On muddy road they walked, as if it was impossible to find the end of the road and the direction to come.
