The clout wind blew, making leaves fall down from the tree.
It was a prologue to the Autumn season, so fast time had passed. But what would be the most prominent way to describe leaves falling on the road covering a vast area of the road side looking adequately beautiful. And winning the hearts of the light and dew in the gazeful sight.
There was a splitting of road that Xīn didn't notice as earlier before. The first road has a not so wide path with stalls closed in, trees on the entrance of the road shedding its leaves, and the second one with a lively atmosphere both day and night. And in the entrance of the splitting road at the corner it has a tree covering the roads with leaves.
But, he didn't know in which way would the second road lead to? Perhaps some things don't need to be known by others, but there is also the fact that you can't answer something until you find those answers by yourself.
The second road was also as beautiful as first road but the difference is that second one looks more lively, and first road was lacking its lively hood, but in evening the first road also became like second road and both sides become like a united family at the evening, but for Xīn he doesn't know about this roads spatial and temporal.
While Xīn was standing on the divergent road, two kids, while passing through the road, started discussing tomorrow's Autumn season festival at night. Those were two little kids and it seems like they will be six or maybe seven years old and look quite cleverish enough.
The kid who was wearing a bright red t-shirt with blue trousers has a bright atmosphere, giving a crescent smile he asked another kid, "The leaves on the roads look beautiful, don't they?"
There was a second kid who was wearing a white shirt with black pants, with nervousness written all over his face he replied,"Yea, and you know what, tomorrow is the Autumn festival, you're gonna come?"
"Ah-la, how can I not, I am very excited about that." the first kid exclaimed.
But it was only for a short time, like a gusty wind that came suddenly and those two kids went to the lively hood off side with a bright smile on their face. And once again the road is quiet and silent.
People are really enjoying the Autumn season and its beauty, but for Xīn it was some kind of boring monologue festival with some kind of playful games. To which Xīn was evading such mistakes by joining the festival and rather spent his time tidying up in his room for his studies.
By the time Xīn went to the first road, which was quiet and beautiful.
The road was full of silence, like an abandoned alley, but it was the only way that led to 'Xīan Xu University'.
Xīn is a freshman, he is beginning his first year at Xīan Xu University, the greatest University of all time known for its best facilities and services plus best teachers from various places teaching here and getting study here for free. It's eventually counted as lucky, for someone like Xīn.
Xīan Xu University is very big and many students study here even from the south and east side of the different countries. Many people come here.
This University is kind of like circle in shape if you see from the above, a big gate at the entrance, and a not so long staircase leading to the entrance gate, side path decorated with flowers that look so good to refresh your mind and a some large trees with green leaves that was on the way, in school info it was also that, there were big fields with various students in it and much more things that can make your mind entangled.
Xīn was so fond of this beautiful sight of University that he almost forgot that his first class was about to begin and he hadn't enough time but to rush as soon as possible.
"Huff, Huff"
"Am I late?.....No, thank God"
The class started briefly after Xīn's arrival, but Xīn's mind wasn't in the old monologue. His mind was somewhere off behind those windows in a different place, the new professor of Business class somehow turned out to be strict and was teaching some basic business management that Xīn already knew, so he didn't pay no heed to it, but the professor is thinking somewhat differently only.
"Mr.Xīn" he called out his name with an annoyed and freaky look, giving him the hardest question to write on the board.
Sreech sreech
Xīn wrote the answer correctly without hesitation and finished it in a short period of time, as if it was nothing but just a kids game. By time Xīn finished writing and the bell rang through. There weren't many classes in business management and marketing, so, Xīn was able to finish his class quickly.
It was a tiring day for Xīn, he decided to head home as soon as possible, he grabbed all of the belongings and went out of his class. The hallway was filled with many people. It was a ruckus atmosphere, and one can only hear people discussing with each other about the festival that is going to happen tomorrow night. Xīn didn't get interested in those festivals and started moving ahead.
It's been many years, and now he still remembers why he had chosen to go for business management and marketing instead of his dance class. If not for that reason he had no intention of joining business management and marketing. The hall is filled with young people's both negative and positive energy, that Xīn could feel. Some with confidence and some without hope for not giving up and giving up. That's how life of the people had been. Xīn was walking through the hallway when.
Thump
A person with brown sloppy messy hair that fell onto his forehead, bumped into Xīn and fell into his hand. He was shorter than Xīn in height and had charming fairy eyes with extra cuteness. He was holding a scrap roll and some extra material book in his hand that didn't drop on the floor while bumping Xīn but rather in his hands too, with surprise he looked towards Xīn.
Seeing him with those charming fairy eyes makes Xīn nervous and it seemed like he was thinking of something and without hesitation he said to Xīn. "Hello senior, are you interested in joining the Literature Club."
"No," Xīn replied, directly in a calm voice.
The person got dumb strike with the direct calm reply, but the person before him didn't look down upon his rejection, but it looked like he was in some kind of hurry, before shockingly he replied to Xīn, holding on to his arm with left hand."Wait, you were in the same lecture as me before, I remember you."
There was a sudden surprise in that person's look when he suddenly held Xīn arms. But Xīn stood stiff and didn't reply.
Realising his mistakes, he stepped back and replied, "Sorry…..so..do you know me or any of our classmates?"
Xīn was in a thought, how to escape from this overcoming talking situation as he was not interested to make this talk further or any longer, "I…don't know any of you."
"My bad you don't know me or any of our classmates, but pls re-think about joining the club for now I am going seeya…" As that person spoke those words he fled away giving Xīn a wink with one of his eyes.
Wait, is he some kind of sissy?
"No, I am not joining" Xīn spoke out without a single thought but before the person could hear his words, he was lost in that ruckus group of the people.
Since childhood Xīn doesn't like to stay in a group as he has been with Cloud for a year. Though it was very short, it was the thing he couldn't forget, and when Cloud left him, he started staying alone and becoming a totally introverted person. Even though he was introverted in his time when Cloud was not around he was also popular among girls, it was also popular among girls that he has a nice body and some girls even went crazy to go into boys locker rooms and spied on him and on that time the girls who sneaked in to boys locker room to see Xīn body get them so hard to control but to get nose bleed. And to the fact Xīn became a school figure from that time, and of course he got many letters which he ended up burning into ashes.
He was like the child who would become desperate upon losing his favorite bat or something. He was also desperate to meet Cloud so he chose business management and marketing, because he knows Cloud also studies here.
I don't think I am going to meet Cloud, maybe I should have stayed and taken my dance classes.
Xīn was tired of staying in the crowd for a long time. So Xīn reached the entrance gate as fast as he could because he was literally tired of staying in this big place with many people even though the natural surroundings were at its peak. It makes him suffocate and stiff sometimes and that sometimes he might also lose his own sense also, it had happened only one time though with his mother while doing their grocery.
He reached the entrance gate staircase, it wasn't so lively but rather can be considered as quite longevity.
As Xīn was crossing the staircase he sensed something familiar that was coming up from the stairs, that familiarity he was facing again after a long time of waiting. He could smell and sense the fragrance of that person. It's like, it's been a year since he smelled this fragrance of that person. By a hesitation or without an instinct he could tell who the person really is. But is the person before him. Is he really the someone who he is thinking about?
The person was coming up from the staircase. The gusty wind blew, his hair waves in the air . He has a white hair with brown eyes and a handsome face as tall as Xīn.
He was wearing a white t-shirt and a black trousers, adequately watching over his mobile, Xin was stunned in his place for a moment and didn't know what he should do about it and his feelings that he kept for a long time suddenly came bursting in front of him.
Is he…
Xīn moved slowly down the staircase too, and that person was coming up as they crossed each other, Xīn turned back towards to look at the person in the time where the air was blowing and leaves and flower petals drifting through slowly with the person fragrance mixed within air.
It's really him
"Rumbleee"
