Coincidences

“Well, this is just a coincidence, I guess. But your words are just too much.” And Luthfi blushed too much.

“Hey, don’t make a face as if I’m saying something romantic to you. Cos I’m not. That the light travels the distance between us in almost no time, well, if it’s a coincidence, it is one wonderful coincidence.”

“Your words are making me dizzy. I think I’m going to sleep now. Thanks for coming, by the way.”

“What a coincidence! I myself did think about going home just now.” Sylvia stood up and put her book inside her bag. She put on her jacket and left for home after saying farewell to Luthfi.

“Hey, watch out for the mosquitoes and the Salmonellas, they’re everywhere,” said Luthfi as his best friend’s hand reached for the door knob.

“I know, I will. Thanks,” said Sylvia without even turning around.

Outside the door, she smiled. She knew she could not resist it any longer. Sylvia was the kind of person who smiled a lot, but that smile was no usual smile she usually expressed.

And it was just a coincidence that the moment Sylvia out of Luthfi’s room, he did smile once more, but rather different smile that he did moment ago. He could not resist to smile, just like his best friend.

Both faces went blushed as they smiled, even in separate places, almost to the color of Bandung night sky. Far beyond them, Pluto floated in the middle of vacuum, five light-hours away.

And everything was coincidence, perhaps.
