Alma pushed Akio's chest because Akio kept hitting him like a bull, Alma was almost out of breath because Akio who did not want to let go of his kisses and hooks.
" You almost made me die A....!".
Akio chuckled as Alma snorted in annoyance as she did not give any pause to her kiss.
" I'm sorry, my dear.I just feel like I'm getting warmer after kissing and hugging you, so I'm reluctant to let go". Akio brought his face closer, but Alma dodged it.
" I still need a lot of oxygen, don't go on, or I'll pass out from lack of oxygen!", Alma was inflamed again.
Akio jumped up and moved on the steering wheel again, lowering the bench so he could stretch himself, changing position to like a bed. His hand reached for the bottle of mineral water and downed it half. Akio also had Alma move to the front of the car, lowering the seat back that Alma had occupied. Alma also spread her back to the back.
" We can be as full as staring at the stars that shine fixed in the car".
Due to a small mistake with not carrying a jacket, Alma and Akio finally stare at the beauty of the starlight through the roof of Akio's car made of glass.
" As this is also good, next time if you want to travel we discuss first both, so there are no items that are left behind or forgot to bring" , Alma actually wanted to go out and see the stars in person, looking in the car blocked by glass, like watching television.
Either because of feeling tired, or the sound of pop music from the speakers in the car makes Akio sleepy and asleep while holding Alma's hand. Indeed Akio deliberately turned on the audio of his car so as not to be too quiet.
Alma slowly took off Akio's hand and opened the car door, Alma exited towards the sandbar on the beach, with HP Alma's lighting directing to the sand, there were no wild animals or garbage around, Alma was sitting on the sand, sandal in his forehead, and raised his head, staring at millions of very beautiful stars. Both of his palms were pulled back, in use as a pedestal of his body.
" Dad.... Can you see me from there?". Alma misses Daddy".
" Alma just wanted to say, yesterday Alma won the gold medal in mathematics at the National science Olympiad".
" Dad must be proud that Alma can still excel even though Dad does not accompany Alma here".
" Alma promised, even though Dad can not accompany Alma, but Alma will continue to try his best, let me be proud of Alma".
Alma was like talking to her father while looking up at the sky, staring at the bright starlight.
The cold that penetrates the skin does not matter. Perhaps in his lifetime there would only be a one-time chance of seeing that many stars with the naked eye.
Because her hands began to feel tired, Alma finally laid her body on the sand, Alma then rubbed her palms and glued them to the cheeks, to give warmth to her face.
Akio awakens and panics when he does not find Alma next to him, Akio exits the car and searches for Alma. It turned out that the beautiful girl was staring at the sky while sleeping on the sand.
It did not feel like Alma had been staring at the sky for almost an hour. As Akio approached her, Alma immediately sat down and cleaned her back and hair from the sand.
Akio sat behind Alma and hugged Alma from behind. " Your body is already so cold, isn't it content to stare at the sky?", Akio peppered the recess of Alma's neck, producing a strange glen that made Alma's blood flow faster.
" It's cold, but it's beautiful, so no papa, it's gonna be A...".
Akio stared at his phone, the time already showed at 8 p.m. Akio returned to the car, picking up the supplies that had been prepared by his maid. And take her to where Alma is.
" We had dinner first yes, the stomach has started to protest" it turns out Akio woke up feeling hungry.
Alma opened the tote bag that had been prepared by the aunt, inside the tote bag containing several kinds of food and drinks, there was a pedestal like a plastic mat as well.
" Well, if you know your aunt put the pedestal here, I just took it so as not to sleep in the sand", Alma directly stretched the pedestal, and took out food and drinks from the tote bag, and, put on the pedestal.
They both had dinner by the beach together, using only a flashlight from HP as lighting.
" Aunty should have put a candle in here, let it be rich again candle light dinner on the beach", Alma wondered, but for Akio it was like a code. In his heart Akio promises to take Alma a real candle light dinner, which is very romantic when they return home later.
" The night, it turns out the sea water is getting to the surface, look, your car was far from the beach, but now it is very close to the distance".
" It turns out that the science of the lessons we receive in school has a point as well"
" About the pair receding the sea, about the land wind and the sea breeze.." 'Alma continued to talk in between his meals.
While Akio continues to listen to Alma who is discussing reality and theory from the lessons learned in class.
After eating Alma cleaned up all the used utensils and put them in her tote bag again, she sat down and looked back at the sky that was still filled with stars.
" When we go on school holidays, how about we come back here?, I like this place" said Alma still staring at the stars.
Alma nodded, "You're right A.. , I really like to see stars, whether it's a lot or just a little".
" It used to be that my late father used to take me out at night, we saw a shining star in the sky".
" When looking at stars, you often talk about planets, meteorites, aliens, and other celestial objects".
" Father, he was an astronomer, so he loved to talk about extraterrestrial life".
" And one night when my dad and I saw the stars in the field next to my elementary school, we saw like they were shooting stars".
" Dad said I could make a wish when I saw a shooting star".
" I asked for something in my heart, and the next day my request was granted".
" Maybe because of that, I've become so fond of looking at stars, it reminds me of my late father".
Akio immediately imagined the face of Mr. Sobari when Alma told the story of his past.
" It looks like time is getting late, we go back to villa yuk A...".
" There's been enough time spent in memory of Dad".
" I've even told him that I've been a champion of the National Science Olympiad".
" I believe Dad was smiling there"
Akio could only embrace Alma while rubbing her arms .
" All right, we're going to the villa now". Akio stood up and clasped Alma's hand towards his car.
***
Early in the morning, Alma and Akio jog around the villa, while in their room, the aunts were tidying up all of Alma's belongings and stuffed in suitcases .
At 10 am Akio's helicopter will arrive to take Alma and Akio home.
On Monday, Alma and Akio must return to their routine as students, and go to school.
It has also been a week of tutoring activities at Alma's house, of course, because Alma had to go to Jakarta for a match.
But from Monday tomorrow all activities return to the original routine.
" Aren't you tired of having to swallow little kids after school?", Akio asked as he continued to run beside Alma.
" Fearful for sure, but I really like that activity, besides making me remember the past lessons, it can also help those kids get smarter".
" It used to be that my goal was to make extra money from wiping them out, make your own HP".
" But now you have bought HP, so money is not the main goal I teach the children tutoring. Now it's more like a new pastime, seeing those little kids coming home every day".
Akio stopped and sat on the porch of the house after circling with Alma dozens of times. Sweat was already pouring on the temples of both of them.
" Do you aspire to become a teacher?", Akio concluded from Alma's remarks earlier.
" Maybe..could be.., actually I did not dare to have ideals, realize my situation at that time"
" Objectives are only for those who are able".
" I was only a daughter of a poor widow".
" But after getting a scholarship even to college, I started to rethink, actually what my ideals are, I want to be what, I don't know myself".
" But while teaching children tutoring, I felt happy and comfortable".
Alma revealed her heart that had never been told to anyone.
