Heartshield Chapter 3: Battle Sing Part 2

Azriel’s POV

Gue cuma bisa cengo sambil muter otak buat mikir ngebales lagunya Crystal. Anjir emang. Bisa-bisanya dia kepikiran sama lagu itu. Ckck.

Tiba-tiba gue mikir, daritadi kita bahas jarak. Gimana kalo gue mulai ngegombalin Crystal? Kan asik tuh wkwk.

Baby you light up my world like nobody else

The way that you flipped your hair get me overwhelmed

But when you smile at the ground it ain’t hard to tell

You don’t know, you don’t know you beautiful

If only you saw what I can see

You’ll understand why I want you so desperately

Right now I’m looking at you and I can’t believe

You don’t know, you don’t you’re beautiful

That’s what makes you beautiful

(What Makes You Beautiful-One Direction)

Crystal’s POV

Wuidih. Ngapung nih gue dinyanyiin what makes you beautiful sama Azriel.

Ntar dulu, gue bales pake lagu apa nih?

When the evening shadows and the stars appear

And there is no one there to dry your tears

I could hold you for a million years

To make you feel my love

I know you haven’t made your mind up yet

But I would never do you wrong

I’ve known it from the moment that we met

No doubt in my mind where you belong

(To Make You Feel My Love-Adele)

Azriel’s POV

Vander, harusnya lu ada di sini. Harusnya lu yang battle lawan Crystal. Daritadi dia nyanyi lagu yang nyindir soal keadaan kalian banget.

Sumpah gue merinding tiap Crystal nyanyi. Dia nyanyi seolah ini emang kesempatan terakhir dia nyanyi.

Gue menghela nafas. Mungkin lagu ini ngga nyambung, tapi gapapa lah. Biarin aja, yang penting gue ngga kicep.

Easy come easy go

That just how you live oh

Take take take it all but you never give

Should’ve known you was trouble

From the first kiss had your eyes wide open

Why were they open?

Gave you all I had

And you tossed it in the trash

You tossed it in the trash you did

To give me all your love

It’s all I ever asked

Cause what you don’t understand is

I catch a grenade for ya

Throw my hand on a blade for ya

I’d jump in front of a train for ya

You know I’d do anything for ya

I will go through all this pain

Take a bullet straight through my brain

Yes I would die for you baby

But you won’t do the same

(Grenade-Bruno Mars)

Crystal’s POV

Anjir lah, Azriel masih aja ngebales lagu gue. Gue udah mau stuck gini.

Ah ya, ada satu lagu yang mungkin bisa bikin babak ini selesai.

When will I see you again?

You left with no goodbye, no single word was said

No final kiss to seal any seams

I had no idea of the state we were in

I know I have a fickle heart and bitterness

And wondering eye and heaviness in my head

But don’t you remember?

Don’t you remember?

The reason you loved me before

Baby please remember me once more

(Don’t You Remember-Adele)

Gue tersenyum miring melihat Azriel kicep. Walaupun gue harus menahan desakan air mata yang daritadi ingin turun.

Tiba-tiba Azriel memetik gitarnya sehingga alunan nada pun terbentuk.

Tunggu.

Tunggu!

Gue kenal sama nada ini!

Jangan bilang ini lagu,

So maybe it’s true that I can’t live without you

Sial. Beneran lagu ini.

Tes. Satu tetes berhasil lolos.

And maybe two is better than one

Tes. Tetes kedua berhasil lolos lagi.

There’s so much time to figure out the rest of my life

Tes. Netes lagi untuk yang ketiga kalinya.

And you’ve already got me coming undone

Tes. Tetes keempat netes dengan sempurna

And I’m thinking two is better than one

Gue menghapus air mata yang sudah berurai di pipi gue dengan kasar. Suasana aula kampus ini bener-bener hening.

Gue ngga kuat lagi.
