1 year passed.
I'm in 12th grade now, and Althara is in her college years now.
My relationship with Althara is going well. We never even found a problem that would make us fight even the slightest bit. Even if there is a dispute, Althara always gives in to me even if I am wrong, she will still give in, so it is usual that women do not want to be blamed.
Althara could always keep up with me, she almost never missed to pick me up at school. She was already busy with her on-campus duties, but she took more time for me. He often invited me to play at his house and meet his Mother and Father. Just like Althara, I also called her parents by the name of Mother and Father, I was closer to both of Althara's parents because they already really considered me as their child.
I knocked on a door of a house so big. Until someone opens it.
“Eh Alhena” greet Mother as soon as she sees me at her doorstep.
“Hay Bunda” I immediately kissed the back of his hand and kissed both cheeks.
“Beauty,Althara is still in her room”
“Iya Bunda”
I sat in the living room chair.
“Kalo want, follow Althara aja to the top, then, usually he will often rush people now let him rasain if in a hurry that how” said Mommy while smiling considering the character of his child that one.
Mother is right, Althara occasionally must feel what it feels like to be rushed by others.
“Where's room is Mother?” Ask me.
“Just go up later also you can guess which room her” Mother smiled and then left me.
I went to the stairs to get to the top floor. I used to visit Althara's house, but never went into her room. I am here at least a short transit, or just learn to cook with Mother, because Mother is good at cooking anything, let alone making cakes and sponge.
I set foot on the last staircase on the second floor. There is a family room and there is a visible GYM, as well as some closed doors.
But there is a door that attracts my attention. A large door was white with a black Star hanger and there was the letter A inside the star. I can guess it must be Althara's room.
I approached the door and tried to knock on it, but it turned out that the door to the room was not locked and not tightly closed.
“Althara” call me slowly. I opened the door wide.
The room was large but looked cluttered with its many canvases where mana and paint were stored in every corner of the room. Althara was already getting good at painting, but I never saw the results of her paintings because she said that she was still a beginner and her paintings did not look good.
I saw some paintings lying by her bedside. So good and looks real. This is what Althara calls imperfect ? I was so amazed to see her.
There was a large canvas still standing near his study table. Like his painting is not finished, because his canvas is covered by white cloth and some paint is still stored next to him. There's a camera there too. This camera I've seen several times brought by Althara.
Althara's laptop suddenly lit up on her study desk. An e-mail notification came into his laptop. I swiped his mouse to turn off Althara's laptop because like this laptop never rested but I was surprised to see a photo of myself on the laptop screen.
That's my photo, when I first attended MOS at school and stood in the middle of the field. I still remember very well at that time, I was getting punished with his other new students. But in this photo Althara only took pictures of me.
My face was still plain with the hair in the ponytail and the face cold with no expression. Althara can take pictures of me while I'm in the law in the middle of the field. I saw some of his other photos in his laptop gallery.
Ternyta has so many photos of me in his gallery. And that photo was taken when MOS was long before I knew there were cold creatures like Althara. It turns out that what Althara said was true, she was already watching me when I was following MOS. He photographed me secretly. I can't believe it because the first time I met Althara, she was so cold that she was so annoying. But it turns out, long before that he had noticed me.
I noticed the canvas covered in cloth next to me. I stood up and slowly revealed the white cloth. And, it looks like an imperfect sketch made by Althara. Sketch the face of a woman who is smiling happily with a collared shirt. I squinted my face, because the woman in the painting was so familiar to me. It was me, even though this painting is still a sketch but I can recognize me in the painting.
I smiled so happy to see Althara painting my face.
“Udah see-wild her?”
Althara in white shorts and plain clothes, just came out of the bathroom with a towel in her hand.
I looked at him with a smile.
“I never thought, it turns out I already have fans from MOS” time
“Not a lot of people ngincer you at that time?” Ledek her while sliding the door of her wardrobe which is black and white.
The atmosphere in Althara's room is monochrome, so it's no wonder that almost everything in the room is black or white. Yes impressed elegant.
I frowned at me.
“Many ngincer? Mass ?” I pretend I don't know. Though I know exactly during MOS many older siblings who mode invite me to meet and ask for a phone number.
“But I don't know if from MOS you often fhoto me diem-diem rich gini” I keep smiling happy to tease her.
“You think I want your photo blatantly?”
That's not what Althara is. He is famous for his mystery.
He sprayed a parfume onto the clothes he had just worn.
I closed both of my nostrils slightly with my index finger. Althara just realized I don't like yak. Excessive perfume smell.
“Why?” Ask her while chuckling.
“Bany hell use his Al” pissed me.
“This little Al” said his quibble.
He approached me without suspecting me and then he sprayed so much parfume on my body.
“This is just a lot” he said while laughing.
“Althara Stop”
he didn't hear me, he kept laughing and spraying a lot of parfumes around me. I hugged her and kept Althara's hand away from me.
“Altharaa already!!”
“Uhuk...uhuk..” I coughed suddenly like choking bai parfume.
“Alhena” panic Althara.
I held my throat while continuing to cough.
“Alhena I'm sorry, I brought you a drink ya”
Althara still looks panicked from the look on her face.
I nodded my head.
“I brought a drink yes, water want?” She asked as she continued to stroke my back with worry.
“Es orange” answer I hold a laugh.
Althara's face turned irritated to see me, which made her panic.
I laughed so happily and bitterly that I saw so panicked Althara.
“Alhenaaa!!!” Call her in annoyance.
I ran around her room, and Althara chased after me.
“Iya yes sorry” said I continue to avoid.
“Ngga!” althara was so upset.
He caught me, he hugged me and tickled me.
“OK.. okay I'm sorry”
“Please Altharaaa..” shouted to me.
And he stopped tickling me.
She hugged me with her gaze that was still pretending to be angry. But my laughter still could not be lost laughing at his panic.
“Sorry, I can't see your expression that is worried like that” I said as I continued to hold my laughter.
“You can't make me worry rich so again”.
“Okee” says I'm still holding my laugh.
“You should promise” his words began to look serious while hugging my waist.
“Oke Althara I promise” said I wrapped my hands around her neck.
He looked at me so deeply.
“Stella meus” says it. Makes me frown.
“Stela meus?” I re-question.
“That's a foreign language, meaning you nyebelin” said while touching my little forehead.
I rubbed her in pain.
“You're also nyebelin Althara”
“But I love you” my sweet.
Althara looked at me so deeply, I still always felt that there was something she thought of when she looked at me like this, but she always assured me that there was nothing, no matter what,he just loves to look at me like this.
“Alhena, don't ever stay in me no matter what happens” her down again with a sentence that's never foreign in my ear.
“That will never happen Althara”
My answer will always be the same.
“You must promise” his words demand confidence.
“Why?” I'm confused.
“I don't know, one day maybe we will be hit by a very big problem, I'm afraid you can't survive with that problem”
“What kind of problem?” I ask not to understand with his fear that is not necessarily certain.
“I don't know, I'm just afraid you can't survive whatever the problem is”
I sighed, and stuck my hand around her neck.
“Althara. All this time we have been able to face our problems of any size, we have been able to face all kinds of problems that disturb our relationships, but you see, we are fine, just fine, we are,and it will always be okay. Because we know, the feelings we have are not easy to destroy. Where might I leave you just because of a problem that there will definitely be a way out”
He looked at me so deeply for a moment.
“Don't ever leave me whatever happens” said her again as if she didn't believe what I said.
I let out my breath.
“That's a request or order?” I asked while smiling.
“Both”
Althara smiled, then she kissed my lips gently.
