Red the brave man!!! (Short Story)

"Isn't this a sunny day? Don't worry too much you won't get stuck in the mud anymore. Besides, we will go with X today. Yes, I know you don't know X that close yet, but rest assured he means a lot to me."

I looked at Red who was thin and looked dirty, it seemed like he was unhappy. I want to take him for a walk and make Red happy. I know he likes to go with me.

"As long as you accompany me every step I take you to a place that you don't like? Never, isn't it? Remember all the eyes that looked at you when we both walked casually along the luxurious marble corridor and crossed the thick carpet that was paid out by the people's tax?"

I deliberately made a joke to make him remember the funny moments that we had spent together. Our intimate moments ignore the many pairs of jealous eyes staring at our closeness that are really ignorant at that moment. We both walked into the personal room of the Head of North Aceh Regency.

Red just smiled meaningfully while remembering that moment ...

"Sometimes you are ridiculous when you talk too much, while you yourself often go with the others and I never get angry and just let you be. Even you often disappear just like that when I want to take you to walk with me."

I looked directly at Red's face which began to brighten, I was happy to see his smile. Slowly he nodded while staring right into my eyes ... for a long time we looked at each other in silence until finally, I asked him to enjoy a glass of coffee in Panton.

"Tonight let's go to a coffee shop like the previous nights we can relax and get acquainted with new friends there. Yes, they are surprised to see you who can go to places like this. Even though they are from the upper classes, no one dares to mock you right? That's because you go with me."

Red's face was really brighter and radiant, but I glanced at the doubt in the highlight of his eyes ... maybe because of his shabby and thinness, it made him less confident to go with me. I don't care about it ...

"Hi, what's wrong with you, don't make me worry Red, you're fine, right? Hey, don't act strangely, we just want to order coffee, please don't act like that, this is a coffee shop. Sit down."

Red looks nervous and uncomfortable ... I tried to cheer him up so he could calm down, but I caught the void in his eyes. Usually Red will be happy to meet new friends who are found in coffee shops or other places we have visited. But tonight he looks different, his face is more shabby and restless. Maybe he wants to sleep or relax for a moment. I wondered myself with work and didn't pay too much attention to Red who was curled under the table.

"The coffee is delicious, and the atmosphere is comfortable, my red will do some work first, you can relax and talk with the friends next to you. If you are sleepy you can sleep first, I'll wake you up. You look tired and your body is much thinner now. If you want to eat something, just tell me and I will order it for you."

Long Silence .....

"Red, come...come with me for a moment. Red ..... red ... wake up .... heii... Red wake up...I need you to go with me for a moment."

Slowly Red opened his eyes with exhaustion, only to say the last few words ...

"El ... goodbye, I ... I can't accompany you anymore, I'm sorry ... I don't ... intend to leave you this way .... but this is my destiny .... I will sleep forever...."

Slowly ... Red's eyes closed and his head drooped limp ..... Red had gone forever ....

"Red ...... !!!!, don't go...please wake uppp....!!!"

I hope you are entertained by this simple story, lets Lough Out Load from the simple thing we encounter every day @wakeupkitty, @patjewell and all of my friends

Laughter is a universal language that can forge connections between people. Who would have thought that the color red can be a combining factor?
From now on every time I see the color red I will remember your story and the joys we experience every day of your lives.
We definetely don't laugh enough. ◎[▪‿▪]◎

You make my morning @patjewell, it is indeed to entertain friends of mine, and you are my friend, so enjoy it then LOL

Oh gosh, poor Red. 😭
What happened did you forget to take good care, watch every step or did you stumble and broke Red's neck or did X envy how close the two of you were. 🥺

I wonder about the place where Red will finally rest or did you already replace him and forget about all those great adventures you undertook together?

I'm delighted by your writing. It's not easy to find readers but know I think this is awsome.
🍀❤️

His time has come, but I did not leave him behind, I took him and brought him home for a proper burial ceremony (in fact I was so embarrassed strolling while expecting no one else to see that Red has gone, LOL).

Thank you for laughing together for this little thing

Have a good day for you

What's the thing with embarrassment I would never be embarrsshed about such things. I wonder if I ever was... Perhaps as a child as my mother scted weird on that rare day a schoolfriend was allowed to come over and I was allowed to watch TV. But I think it wasn't embarrashment but I felt ashamed or? Thanks for making me laugh.

I still wait for the duckS.

A great day with your new friend? Red or Blue, Green or Grey?

Normally, I would throw it away and walk barefoot, but seems Red wanted me to bring him back, so I brought it home by pinching the rope between my toes.

A great day with your new friend? Red or Blue, Green or Grey?

I guess the original one was white but now it turning grey just like my hair from pure black to light grey recently thought of making myself to be a whale on steemit LOL

I think Red wanted to be remembered.

Grey is better than white. Not too dark and not too bright.

Grey can come overnight isn't that strange? Too many worries but I think it looks good all you have to do is get that shave and rest more so your back won't start again.

My son finally found some ginger. Later I make tea, kefir and hopefully yoghurt.

The Whale is the way out of here or being an Orca also good for support.
Aren't there sharks around?
