Ia tidak bisa bertemu dengan pria itu, serindu apapun hatinya kini. Namun langkahmya kemudian terhenti ketika ia mendengar suara dawai gitar yang kembali dipetik dan sebuah lagu yang mulai terlantun.
When the wind is blowing in your face..
Suara merdu pria itu kali ini terdengar sedikit bergetar di telinganya.
And the whole world is on your case
Perlahan ia kembali berbalik menatapnya.
Lagu itu.. kenangan manis mereka..
...
....
"I wonder how this song would turn out if you sing it live."
"I never sing this song live. I usually perform a song based on my current mood. This song was never really my mood."
"Really? Dude, you've never been in love, haven't you?"
.....
.....
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
...
Is this his first time singing the song live? - tanya Sera dalam hati.
...
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
Oh, I hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
...
Radith tidak melepas pandangannya. Sera merasa dirinya terhipnotis, pikirannya mengerti bahwa ia harus pergi dari sana, namun kakinya tetap memaku tak bergerak.
Ia rindu.. begitu rindu..
...
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I will never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
And I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
...
...
"Someone made me sing this song for the first time tonight.." Katanya setelah lantunan lagu itu berakhir.
No..
"Love is simply you." Lanjutnya, menatap langsung matanya sambil tersenyum lembut. Air matanya terjatuh. Sera memalingkan wajahnya dan berbalik menjauh.
Ia akhirnya tersadar..
No.. She can't..
"Good night everyone.. Congratulation once again to Senja and Sandi.. God Bless.." Suara Radith kembali terdengar dan kini semakin menjauh.
Why.. It's all coming back like gravity..
Ia menghapus air matanya.
Langkah kakinya semakin cepat, ia tidak peduli kemana kakinya kali itu membawanya, selama dirinya menjauh dari pria itu, semuanya akan baik-baik saja.
Namun..
"Ser.."
No..
"Sera.." Panggilnya semakin mendekat, lalu ia merasakan seseorang meraih tangannya. "Give me one chance.. to explain everything.." Katanya sambil terengah.
Sera tahu ia tidak bisa lagi menghindar..
The Strings are still there..
but why?
Apa rahasia semesta mempertemukan mereka kembali kali ini.. apa arti dari semuanya ketika semesta tahu mereka tidak bisa bersama..
...
...
Set me free, leave me be
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am, and I stand
So tall, just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me
Something always bring me back to you..
It never takes too long..

Thank you for reading another chapter of STRINGS..

We'll see..
See you soon..
Love,
Sadddh.
