Continuing from Gnite
Azalea, Azalea…. Azalea is a beautiful girl, that stole attention, unlike moon that only reflecting Sun’s light. Azalea is a Sun. Hmm.. Maybe I exaggerating it too much, but Indeed she’s a Sun.
A lot of people will admire her…. There’s something about her presence that engulfing people with calmness… because she always smiling. But a lot of people too will envy on her… because there’s something about her presence that steal attention 
Envy… that’s a word people will ‘reflect’ on their eyes… Specially woman… there’s something in woman’s gene about jealousy and competition…
She is born beautiful? So what?
Her soul is also beautiful? So what?
If they know that there are pains inside that beautiful look, if they know how much her ‘smiling’ face cries at night. They would not look her in ‘Envy’ anymore… in fact they would love her… fell the need to protect her from those pains…
But Azalea is a proud woman, she will always smile no matter what, she would kept everything inside no matter what, she’s good in hiding pain since she always think she is alone in this world
In this story there exist Stupid… he’s a Man that is so naïve… very naïve and because of that I named him Stupid J. Since he was child… this person here can feel pain… he can see people that are laughing in their eyes and ask “Why do you look so sad?”, yeah! Indeed he is a very weird person.. a little bit broken, some of the reason of his broken mind because that he can feel pain from the day he don’t understand what is all about , some other reason is because his own life itself written in P, A, I and N.
Those weird reasons also what makes Stupid so naïve… to believe that his existence in this world is to get rid of those pain, to protect people, to find another people that share the same PAIN.
So to say, they met…Azalea and Stupid met in a weird coincidence… and like our stupid and naïve Stupid will always does, he ask Azalea “Why do you look so sad? Can I Help you”.
Of course Azalea… the one who always good in hiding her PAIN surprised to hear that, and like our stupid and naïve Stupid will always react in such condition “Maybe you would not believe me or even you would think this as a cheap pickup lines… but to tell you the truth… I can see your sadness”
Azalea laughs at that so called ‘cheap pickup lines’ J she laugh and walk away from Stupid. And they will not meet again for several months.
Until one day, actually… It’s a rainy day… no no… not a dramatization; it’s actually a rainy day.
In place where stupid live… it’s a laughable thing for a Man as old as him to bring his own umbrella J, when people ask.. “Why do you bring umbrella? It’s a feminine thing you know”. He will always reply with the same words…
“That’s because I born in Rain ”.
That day is so cold, and at the bust stop here goes or male main character named Stupid, he stand at the bust stop with his umbrella. And there’s Azalea… in her depressed state, sad… I think there are tears? But it is unclear since the Rain makes it not so obvious. And our Stupid shares his umbrella .
Azalea step three steps back and said “I’m already wet? No need for that, thank you”…
And Stupid easily replies with “It’s ok, this is a continuity of my cheap pick up lines .. Besides I feel the need to do that since you look so alone ”
It’s been few months since the ‘so called cheap pick up lines’, and Azalea still remember that, because the nature of the ‘so called cheap pick up lines’ that makes her remember. She also remembers her own questioning… “Why this man that I don’t know can see my sadness?”
That day is a ‘hell’ for her, she’s good in holding back… but to met Stupid and remember something weird about Stupid’s ‘so called cheap pickup lines’ about her sadness, she’s falling apart.
Azalea just too tired, too sad and too broken to holding back that day… and so she Cry. Rain can cover her tears… but rain cannot cover her crying voice… and Rain cannot cover her red face… so it’s her hand instead.
Stupid step three steps back so his umbrella can cover Azalea..
And here goes the rain… getting bigger; as if it’s trying to hide Azalea’s crying voice.
