As dusk falls, the clouds are painted bright orange, the shadows of the trees and the landscapes are starting to cover the field that is clearly seen where Cahelle and Carlo stood that afternoon. In that rooftop of an old and rumored to be a hunted law building. Cahelle could feel the faint heat coming from the sunset. It was once a soothing touch of the sun that makes his heart and mind calm, especially in the events that he is not devoured by the sunset alone. But now, it is not the dazzling sunlight or the calmness that makes him close his eyes but the desire to stop his tears from falling.
It is the same rooftop where Carlo finds him out of nowhere one lazy afternoon. This unexpected meeting turns into friendship and later on seems to be something more. But as their feelings get intense, the conflicts in them also arise. It all happens on the same rooftop where they used to watch the sunset together.
And it is the same sunset where they both became true with each other. The same sunset that makes them face their fear, but above all, it was the same sunset that introduced them into their true self.
And now, is it also the same sunset that will end the bond that they built?
This is a new feeling for both of them and they are not sure how to handle it.
Affected by the ones around them sparks a controversy that causes tension in them. Building doubt and misperceptions that separate them until they asked; can this new kind of affection be turned into a love story? Is love only about two people?
Cahelle is still silent. While questioning himself, he is just staring at the setting sun, watching the gradual darkening of the orange sky that he knew would also be shrouded in darkness soon. Wondering why they ended like this. He is thinking that maybe they are not really meant for each other because he thought that ever since it really wasn't him.
Carlo on the other hand wanted to explain everything, his reasons, his excuses, and his motive. He wants to ease Cahelle from thinking about what went wrong. He gathered confidence and then turned to Cahelle. He wants him to understand but all of the confidence that he gathered perished instantly when he saw Cahelle looking in the horizon. He can't. He can't find the words that would justify his reasons. He knew that he was wrong and unfair.
Still staring into the distance, Cahelle could see from the corner of his eyes that Carlo turned to him, he wanted to say something but chose not to. It is a relief for him.
Both of them. They did not know that the place where it all started will also be the place where it all ends, all because Cahelle can't find the will to listen and Carlo couldn't find courage...
But is it really the end? Is it really the last sunset that they are going to watch together?243Please respect copyright.PENANAmuomidSCJV
