Echoes In Static

Prologue

Someone was chatting in front of me, a girl with loose hair along her shoulders. She used a hairpin to show her shining eyes. She said something to me. I can't remember her last expression before I woke up from my sleep.

I growled when I heard the noise of my alarm. Instead of turning off the alarm, my hand grabbed a pillow then woke up when the clock showed 06.30.

shit, I'm late.

For the last few days, I've been dreaming about that girl. I've been sleep-deprived because of her.

"Good Morning, Arya!"

"Morning Arya!!!"

I smiled at all of them, I was the humble person in my office. I work at a company called Pixelforge Studio, as a game designer.

08: 00 a.m.

03: 00 p.m.

10: 40 p.m.

Finally, I can go home. I came home late to work on the design adjustments and final review.

I breathed a sigh of relief, then came a notification sound from my phone that turned out to be my annoying sister sending me a message.

"Please buy me a bouquet of flowers."

"My girlfriend came here"

"please"

I sighed irritably, began to swear inwardly. Where can I find a florist at 11pm?

Even so, I started riding my motorcycle. On the way, I found a flower shop. in front of the store was plastered a board containing the name of the store and their schedule.

"Blossom & Bloom "

"Open: 07: 00 a.m. -11: 00 p.m."

"They're almost closed!"I muttered as I got off the bike. I immediately ran into the store. I looked around and said "Hey, is there a bouquet?"I stopped, my eyes staring at the cashier who guards the small store. She stared at me too. We paused for a moment before she asked.

"Can I help you sir?"

I nodded, then continued with my order. After I bought a bouquet of flowers, I opened my phone and set my eyes on her.

"Can I use an E-wallet?"I asked. The girl then nodded and began to carry out the payment.

I walked out of the store and stopped for a moment before walking to my bike.

"Im not mistaken, that's it!" I exclaimed as I sped towards my house. She looked exactly the same as the girl in my dream, the girl I rejected her love arbitrarily. Why do I have to have all those dreams?!

"Look! "I brought the flowers!" I exclaimed as I started to enter the house. The living room looked messy, and I found my younger brother eating instant noodles in front of the TV. "Ha? "Alright, just put it in the vase, my girlfriend already home," he replied to my words, I gritted my teeth, and began to swear in my heart.

"Sekar! You want some flowers?" I walked into my youngest sister's room. She looked like she was doing some homework.

"No thanks! I'm allergic to flowers brother." She replied, I began to massage my temples and said "it's ironic that your name means flower."

I started to put the bouquet in a vase and took it to my own room.

I throw my body on the mattress, start sighing again and again after a tiring day. my eyes were fixed on the window, there seemed to be cloudy and drizzling weather.

I hate rain.
