A Love for Khayra

Khayra's Sadness

♡

Khayra pedaled his bicycle, seen at the Arini crossing from a distance.

" Hey Rara.."

" Arina.."

" You are healthy. " Khayra nodded.

" Let's go! "

They left together, they paddled bicycles casually.

Khayra and Arini had parked their bikes, walked to class.

" I'm sorry yesterday I didn't drive you home, there was Mama Biru yesterday. "

" Yes I know. "

" Rara's. " Sapa Bono's.

" Yes.."

Khayra sat on her stool, Bono and Arini were engrossed in conversation. Khayra remained silent, Bayu was seen approaching her. Blue glanced at the two at a glance, and went back to reading the book.

" Rara, you're healthy. "

" Thank God.."

" I'm sorry I didn't look at you. "

" It's not what. "

The bell rang all sitting on his stool, Ustadz Khalid entered the classroom.

" Asalamualaikum's chat.."

" Navaloupe.."

" Khayra and Blue are healthy? "

" Thank God Ustadz.."

" Thank God.."

" Alright let's start today's lesson, please go to page 60. "

All opening his book, Ustadz Khalid began to explain the subject matter.

Everyone listens well, sometimes someone asks.

When the break came, all of Khayra's classmates came out, Khayra was still sitting in class. Blue and Bono go to Rohis' room.

" Rara, you've been quiet a lot today, you're still not well? "

Khayra shook her head slowly, "Let's get out! "

Arini sat next to Khayra, Khayra sat with her hands resting on the table, her head buried.

" Rara's.."

" Hmm.."

" Why are you? "

" Mother.."

" What's with Mother? "

" Mommy and Mama Biru turned out to be old friends, it seems Mama Ina knows the past of Mother. "

Khayra took a momentary pause.

" Why Mother always cries behind me, Mother never shared sorrow with me. " Khayra was crying with her face covered.

" Rara's.." Arini rubbed Khayra's back.

" Maybe Mommy doesn't want to see you sad. "

" But Arini.why Mother should hide it from me, I'm her daughter. "

" Rara's.."

Khayra grew sobbing, Arini embraced her. How distressed Khayra has been all this time, harboring her curiosity for her mother's past.

Blue who was about to go back to pick up the book, undo his intentions, he stood behind the wall, then left again.

It's so hard you're facing Khayra.

Khayra began to calm down, although her beautiful eyes looked sad.

Arini returned from the canteen and brought 2 bottles of drinks.

" Drink Rara! "

" Thank you Arini. "

After washing her face, Khayra returned to class, where she passed Blue. Khayra lowered her head, then they walked to class.

Classes are still quiet, there are only Arini, Khayra and Blue, they are sculpting.

Blue read the book, Arini drank the tea bottle, Khayra still silent not much to say.

Bono's voice broke the silence.

" Bro you're back in class yet? "

Blue nodded, re-reading the book.

" You why Rara? " Bono looks confused, his friend looks all silent.

" It's not what. "

" What are you all doing? "

Arini, Bono and Blue looked at each other, Khayra just silently bowed.

Until the lesson ended, without waiting for Arini, Khayra left first.

Arini did not realize Khayra had left first, she was still busy chatting with Bono.

Khayra went to the school mosque to pray, Blue was also performing the zhuhur prayer at the school musholla. After the prayer, Khayra rushed home. Khayra walks alone, Blue is worried.

Blue looking at Khayra from a distance, Khayra pedaled her bike quickly with a blank look. Blue chased after him, Khayra was seen not coming home, but went towards his field, continued to pedal his bike, until he reached the river bank, Blue followed Khayra.

Khayra sat on a boulder by the river, hugging her knees with her head down.

Khayra was crying.

" Mother.."

Blue kept staring at Khayra from where she was standing, she worried about Khayra, ever since she saw Khayra crying in the classroom.

Khayra was silent.

" Mother is always crying behind Khayra, why Mother? " Khayra is getting sobbing.

Khayra buried her face, and hugged her knees.

Khayra was pensive, looking at the river current.

" Mother.."

Blue kept his eye on Khayra from a distance.

Later in the afternoon, Khayra stood up to go home.

Carefully walking on the rocks, Khayra almost slipped, then sat down.

" Mother.." Khayra crying.

Blue runs, approaching Khayra.

" Khai.."

" You're all right? "

Khayra looked up, surprised to see Blue in front of her.

" Why are you here? "

" You fell, no one got hurt?" Blue asked worriedly, Khayra shook her head but her crying grew more and more, leaving Blue confused.

" Kay.kamu why? "

" Yuyaaah.." Khayra was crying again.

Blue sat beside Khayra who was still crying, Blue knew Khayra was sad, although Blue did not know the problems facing Khayra, Blue could feel how heavy the burden of heart Khayra felt.

" Cry, let go of all that holds your heart! "

Khayra cried even more strongly, until she felt her heart a little airy because of the satisfaction of crying, her sadness, she spilled all.

Khayra sat hugging her knees back.

" Thank you Blue. " Said Khayra with a raucous voice, his face looks swollen.

" You remember, here I first met a super-jutek baffle girl. " Blue Memories.

Khayra thought for a moment that she remembered, this was the first time the two of them had met.

" You.." Khayra rubbed his eyes.

Blue chuckles lightly, Khayra activates the frown mode.

" I'd rather see you angry than see you cry. "

Look Blue in, Khayra down.

" I'm sorry I didn't get to say thank you.."

" It's okay. " Said Khayra lirih.

" Did Mama Ina tell you anything? " Khayra asked, only Blue's arm was seen, Khayra sighed, she had already guessed that.

" Khay.Perhaps your mother doesn't want to make you sad. "

" All parents are like that. "

" Mothers have their own reasons, sometimes we cannot guess the thoughts of our parents, but one thing is for sure, parents do it for the good of their children. "

Khayra was silent, digesting the word Blue.

" Before you are too late to realize and regret all, stop to corner Mother, do not burden Mother with your childish behavior like this. "

" Who's the child? " Gerutu Khayra did not accept.

" It's what it's called, if it's not childish, run away from school instead of going home. "

" Why are you here too? " Khayra asked.

" You followed me, huh? let's confess. " Take a guess Khayra.

" Come home, before Mother worries. "

Urge Blue.

With a heavy heart Khayra obeys the word Blue, everything Blue says is absolutely true.

They cycled together, Blue drove Khayra home to the front road of her house.

" You didn't stop by? "

" I'm going home early in the afternoon. " Blue Pump.

Blue pedaled his bike home. Already in ashar, looks Bono is cleaning the yard. Blue parked the bike, Bono approached him.

" Where are you, bro? "

" There is an urgent need. " The Blue Lie.

" You go home straight to school, don't you go home? " Blue shakes.

" I finished praying zhuhur was looking for you everywhere not to meet. "

" Sorry Bono. "

" I'll change clothes first I'll help you. "

Blue ran to her room, Arini brought a drink to Bono, seeing that Blue's bike was already leaning on the side terrace.

" Blue's home, is Bono? "

" Already, change clothes in the room. "

" Where is he? "

Bono put his shoulder down, not knowing.

After changing clothes, Blue leads a new bike and takes it out, Blue approaches them, takes the drinking water that Arini brought, and gulps it down.

" You hungry bro? "

Blue nodded and laughed.

Arini rounded her eyes, "Blue.."

" I'm sorry Arini I'm thirsty. "

Arini went inside to get some more drinking water.

" The Mbok make mangut fish gulai for you bro brought Arini earlier. " Tukas Bono, Blue nodded.

" Please tell Mbok, say Thank you. "

" New bike bro, instead of your bike still good. " Bono holds the new bike that Blue brought.

" Gift for you. "

" Hey.." Bono gawking.

" Hey Bono.."

" It's expensive bro. " Bono shakes.

" Please accept this as a sign of our friendship. " Push Blue.

" But bro.."

" Nothing but.."

Bono nodded, Blue chuckled, then the two of them continued sweeping the spacious courtyard belonging to Pak Bahrun.
