When everyone just saw her quietly, Gina immediately jogged and with her tiny hands she hugged Drake. The warmth of Gina's hug made Drake couldn't hold himself anymore. Drake immediately burst into tears and gave off all the flavours he had endured.

Several days have passed, the orange rays of the morning sun have become Alex's favourite beautiful sight since he was hospitalized. Since opening his eyes again, Alex has liked to sit alone on a park bench just to see this beautiful sight. Even today he is willing to wake up very early just to see the sunrise. The sound of birds singing became the music that accompanied his morning.
Alex loved the morning sunshine he saw so much that he couldn't stop smiling. He was so focused on the beautiful scenery that he didn't realize that a girl his age was watching him and walked over to him. The girl was wearing a patient uniform like herself but the girl looked perfectly fine and didn't look sick in the least.
"What are you looking at?" asked the girl.
Alex was immediately surprised when he turned his head and a girl was already sitting beside him. He did not know the girl and this was the first time he had seen her. Alex, who didn't know how to respond to a question from a girl he didn't know, in the end, could only stare at the girl with a confused look.
"Are you new here? This is my first time seeing you. Oh yeah, my name is Ruby, what's your name? " Asked the girl named Ruby while smiling very friendly at Alex.
Although he was reluctant, Alex still mentioned his name to Ruby. Whether it was the sunlight that happened to hit his face or the drug was still working until Alex began to see things very differently.
At that time Alex didn't know why he felt something different when he saw Ruby. He didn't know why Ruby's smiling face when he looked at him looked so radiant. Even Alex could not stop himself from smiling when he saw Ruby's smile. He never thought that this brief encounter would bring him such a new start. The beginning will bring big changes in his life.
The clueless Alex just thought that it was just a casual encounter, just like meeting other people in his life. Like the people who come and go in his life, a brief encounter that will take him nowhere. So Alex just smiled faintly and acted politely without paying any attention to Ruby. But it was only temporary until he saw Ruby and all the colours.
"We always try hard to meet the standards people give us as if we will be left when we don't meet those standards. Often we go to great lengths to completely change ourselves, blaspheme ourselves and feel inferior just because of the hurtful words of blasphemous people. We close ourselves and become someone else to them until we forget that we also shine like other people that we are also very valuable as we are
Do you believe in fate? Believing that God has Written everything about your life, Then what if there is no coincidence in this world. Maybe everything that happens and everyone we see is predetermined and always has some meaning in our lives even if it's a brief encounter or just passing through on the street?***The dawn sun was shining again, the birds were singing sweetly, welcoming the dawn. The wind was swirling gently, whistling and shaking the leaves of the tree. Alex sat on his hospice bed staring out the window. It focused his eyes on the dawn sun as if he had been reborn upon seeing the soft orange rays of the dawn sun.After several days of being treated in the hospice, today Alex will return to his home. His parents took him home, but they allowed Alex to enjoy his own whil
Alex doesn't know why, but he can't forget Ruby's face, even though he tries to brush Ruby's image and forget it but it still comes back to fill his mind until he is lost in his thoughts.***Time passed and several days passed. After he had completely recovered, Alex returned to school. Coming back to school after not being in school for a long time made everything feel great. Wearing a school uniform felt so amazing even though it was just the uniform he usually wore. Even just standing in front of the school gate made him pleased.Perhaps it was because he missed school so much after several days of not being able to attend a school that the air he breathed at school also felt completely different as if there was a sweet scent when he inhaled it.For th
They arrived at the sacred tree and Ruby was very excited to make a wish. While Ruby was thinking about what she should ask for, Alex, who didn't believe in anything, just wrote on the coin he was holding and just threw it away.From a distance, a pair of envious eyes looked at Alex and Ruby who were together. That person is Helena, the beauty queen whose position as the prettiest girl is being rivalled because Ruby looks close to Alex, the man almost all girls in school want.Jealousy was clear in Helena's eyes, and she hated it when someone touched her target. The flames seemed to radiate from her views so that her friend Natty could tell just by looking at his views. Natty, who was curious about what her best friend saw, until she looked very annoyed, approached Helena and look at the window to catch what made Helena so upset.
"We want to go to a place that kids our age frequent, but Alex doesn't seem to know much about that. You can show up and take us to nice places, right? I am happy!" said Ruby with a big smile as she stared at Helena."Huh? Will you not be disturbed if I join? " Helena asked as she saw Ruby's eyes with a suspicious look because she thought Ruby might cover up her genuine feelings."Eh! I am delighted that I can have lots of friends. What is your name?" replied Ruby with a wide and sincere smile."Helena ..." said Helena and with a confused look because Ruby looked pleased even though she was interrupting her and Alex's date and it felt strange for Helena."Helena, what a beautiful
No one knows when his heart was attracted and felt something he had never felt before. In the past, nothing could make him feel successful even when he was ranked first in his school. But now, accompanying Ruby home and walking the sidewalk after getting off the bus made his so delighted that he couldn't quit smiling.Every step he took with Ruby had so good that he could see his excited heartbeat. The cool night air was so sweet and warm that he felt at home going for a long while. Maybe because he was with Ruby, Alex became eager to break time or slow down passaging day because he wanted to be with Ruby longer.Then they stopped in the front line of the hospital where they first met. Alex was a little surprised when they reached the front line of the hospital because he didn't pay attention to anything else when they walked together and it was because he could only see Ruby all the way.
They told a guy had to be as solid as a mountain to be a role model in his family. They also stated that a guy must have a strong character and not cry. The guy must always be tough and must not give up whatever he is facing. A guy is a warrior who should not shed tears because he must be a leader and role model in his family. But aren't men human too? Whether it's a boy or a girl, if it hurts the heart, tears will flow. Crying doesn't mean weak, it's just a natural part that can happen to humans when their hearts are pained. All humans are the same, no one is greater than the other. It's just that society loves to criticize other bodies. Label everyone and categorize individuals as they like. They think they are doing the honorable thing because they assume that anybody has a certain position and rank. Judge others by their standards as if it were a good thing. Then we are stuck in those rules and live our lives according to ot
The sound of the gate banging echoed the rest of the class. The eyes of everyone except Alex went to the classroom door, and they saw Ruby standing in front of the gate with her hands holding both sides of the gate with a huge grin as if something excellent had happened to her.“ Good morning all!” said Ruby to all of her classmates with a huge smile and a loud voice.Ruby looked so happy that her classmates could only be silent and stare at her with their mouths open. It shocked them to see how excited this Ruby heart was that she slammed the door so hard when she opened the door.With her innocent face and a huge bright grin, Ruby ran over to Alex without knowing that Alex was in a foul mood. With her sassy and cheerful demeanor, Ruby speaks to Alex, ignoring Drake trying to hold her. Ruby continued talking even though Alex didn't respond at all.“Ruby, hold it already. You can't piss off Alex.
Alex was a little surprised until he froze in silence. He never thought he would get a birthday present from someone like this. Once again Ruby touched Alex as if she knew everything Alex was feeling.“How do you know that today is my birthday?” asked Alex as he looked at Ruby with sparkling eyes.“I went to Facebook and our school kids talked about your birthday. Looks like you're popular because everyone was so excited talking about your birthday. “ Said, Ruby.“Can I open it?” suggested Alex while grinning and looking so enthusiastic to open the birthday present he held.Ruby also nodded her head and excitedly Alex opened the first present he accepted. Alex paused and looked at the paintbrush and paint which was a present given by Ruby. His eyes sparkled and wet when he saw the paintbrush. Emotion and touch filled Alex's heart. He did not expect Ruby to give him
