65 Street Food (II)
Leon
—–
“Leon?”
I froze instantly when I heard someone calling me, Even though it was only a few seconds happy because no one recognized me in this place. But Why suddenly someone knows My Name?
David and I immediately looked in the direction the sound was coming from, and it was Robert.
“Robert? What are you doing here?” I asked spontaneously when I saw him smiling so broadly at me.
I know this is a bad sign because David surely would not like Robert or Edward around me.
“Ah, I just stopped by; this Street food also opened a few days ago, hehe,” said Robert, smiling at me.
It’s also true what you said because I rarely leave the house, so I wondered if there was street food that just opened a few days ago.
.....
“Come on, Leon, let’s go!” David said as he took my hand and went to the stand that sells mixed milk drinks.
Robert nodded and smiled; he let me go to the milk concoction drink booth with David.
I can feel the aura from David. And that aura is a negative aura that I don’t particularly appreciate because a negative aura is very uncomfortable to be approached.
“David, Can you get rid of that negative aura of yours? I can’t be comfortable around you if you give off that aura!” I said flatly near his ear, which made him immediately widen his eyes because he didn’t realize that his negative aura had just come out.
“Ah, I’m sorry, I wasn’t aware of that!” David replied while concentrating so that his aura returned to being positive.
After a few minutes, finally, the negative aura from David had turned into a positive aura, and I could breathe a sigh of relief because I felt comfortable around a positive aura.
“What flavor do you want to drink?” I asked David because I had ordered chocolate milk.
“I don’t want to order one glass for both of us!” He said as he took my hand and held it.
I just let it go and didn’t answer what he just said.
Not long after the drink I ordered was ready, the female waitress gave it to me, and David immediately paid for it.
“Emmm, tastes good too!” I said when I just took a sip of the chocolate milk.
“Really? I want to try it too.” David said while directing my hand, which was currently holding the glass, towards him so he could sip the chocolate milk.
He looked so happy when he felt that the chocolate milk I meant was delicious; we both headed to the park, which is not far from street food, and sat on chairs.
The darker, the more people visit this place; this is one of the destinations many people visit.
“It turns out that many people visit this place; I didn’t expect that there is such a good place not far from where we live!” I said while looking around me. When the lights were turned on, the scenery in the garden became more beautiful because of the colorful lights that decorated it.
“By the way, it’s your birthday soon. Aunt Chelsea told me yesterday,” said David suddenly, which made me remember that if my birthday wasn’t that long ago.
“Ah yes, maybe in two weeks,” I answered while eating grilled squid.
“What gift do you want to get from me?”
I immediately looked at David at the sudden offer of a gift.
“Haha, how do I know... That’s up to you. I have no right to decide,” I said, a bit embarrassed because the gift should have been a surprise, but instead, he asked me openly.
“Haha, it’s okay... Who knows, I can give it to you, and it must be a special gift for you, hehe,” said David, still forcing me to mention something I wanted.
I paused to think about what gift I wanted because, to be honest, for 17 years, I have never asked for a gift or if there was anything I might want to do on my birthday.
This was the first time I was about to turn 18; a man asked for a gift to be given to me.
It made me confused because I was confused when choosing what gift was suitable or what gift I wanted.
“I don’t know; right now, what’s on my mind is just how do I gain strength and not get weak because I don’t want to be a burden to anyone,” I answered spontaneously, which made David immediately silent.
David took my hand and stroked it gently; he smiled at me and then said, “Take it easy; surely one day you will have it, and remember, don’t ever say that you are a burden to others; you are not a burden.” David said, saying that sentence seriously; I can see it from the aura that comes out of his body.
I nodded, confirming what David said just now because even though I didn’t try to think about it, the word “burden” was still in my mind.
I don’t want to be a burden to other people. If it’s my birthday I can have a special wish, I’ll ask for it.
David stood up, held his left hand to me, and said, “Come with me; I will show you a beautiful place!”
Because I was curious, I immediately grabbed David’s hand, then stood up and followed him.
We both walked away from the street food and that beautiful park, not knowing where David would take me because I thought the beautiful place he was was in that lighted park and Street Food.
“Where are you taking me? Aren’t we moving away from the crowd?” I asked, confused when David just walked and kept pulling my hand to follow him.
David stopped his steps and looked around as if to ensure that no one was looking at us both at this time.
“Get on my back; I’ll take you somewhere!” David said while crouching in front of me; I immediately did what he asked; I climbed on his back while looking around me to make sure no one saw us.
After I climbed onto David’s back, he immediately held my feet with both hands. I wrapped my hands around his neck, then David ran fast into a forest.
What exactly does he want to Show? Why should we go into the forest? Will everything be okay?
