A Tale of Ary

5. Stay

"Singing brother? I can't, my breath is short. If I sing my voice is like a strangled cat" explained Ary.

"So, you hold my mic singing while playing guitar. How's it?" ask Bayu.

Ary nodded his head in a sign he agreed.

"Ehemmmm... " Bayu cleared his throat to take a breath. While strumming the strings of the guitar Bayu also began to sing.

🎵 Beautiful...

Want the heart to whisper

To relieve the anxiety

thyself...

oo beautiful...

not that I want to bother you

but what does it mean to miss

always was...

ooo...

although the sun rises in the north

my heart is only for you...

There is a sweetest and most loving heart

of course I will repay the soul

nothing more

no more disturbing us

it's earnestness

I really love you ooo...🎵

 

Actually, this song was prepared by Bayu to shoot Ary. But because of the incident, Bayu undoes his intention to shoot Ary. Because Bayu knows, Ary must have rejected it. He will be the same fate as the sender of the canned letter because Ary does not want to date.

"This song is not for shooting you, just for having fun. Don't take heart!" whispered Bayu in Ary's ear. Ary smiled at Bayu's words.

Seeing the closeness between Bayu and Ary, many misunderstand it. Alex saw them like a fire beard. He also does not want to lose, Alex approached Ary and Bayu. You think you can sing, I can too.

"Borrow guitar! I also want to present a song for Ary" said Alex while taking the guitar from Bayu's hand. Then Alex stood in front of Ary, strumming the guitar he began to sing a song.

🎵 Maybe this is my destiny

admire without being loved

it's okay for me as long as you're happy

in your life, in your life

I have long felt that feeling

waiting for your heart to welcome me

it's okay for me to love you too is happy for me, happy for me

I want you to know

I am here waiting for you

I wait until the end of my time

and hope this taste is forever

and let me

just hug yourself this time

say goodbye forever

and let this feeling happy for a moment just🎵

 

Alex thinks that Bayu sang a song from Kahitna earlier to take Ary's heart so that Ary would accept Bayu's love. So he also expressed his heart to Ary with his song.

Because he was rejected by Ary and still has a taste for Ary, Alex sings a song from purple and hopes Ary can understand his feelings.

Ary is silent at the song sung by Alex, he feels bad about the song that cornered him.

After Alex finished singing the song, the show ended and closed with a do'a. Because the event has ended some students there are directly to the rest area of each in accordance with the provisions of the committee.

Some of the students went straight home because they were picked up by their families. Other than families were not allowed to pick up students that night.

"No! Wake up! No...No!!!" call Ary.

Ary likes to call Enno with No, therefore Ary's affectionate call to Enno. If in addition to Ary who called him No, then he will be angry Candra is no exception

"Woy... wake up.. wake up!" yelled Ary again while shaking Enno's body.

Enno also woke up angry, because his ears hurt hearing Ary's loud scream earlier.

"What the hell, bother people! People are good at sleeping too, still sleepy to know!"

Ary does not respond to Enno, he instead begins to awaken Candra.

"Can, Candra get up! It's dawn!" ary said while shaking Candra's body.

Candra also began to squirm and stretch her body.

"What the hell? Still sleepy!" candra said while yawning with a typical sound of waking up.

"Let's go to the mushola, pray the dawn first!" take Ary.

The three of them rushed to the bathroom to clean themselves and then took the water. After that, they went to the SMU Mushola, the name of their school.

"We go home or take a walk?" ary asked as they came out of the mushola.

"Streetings bentar yuk" asked Enno.

"I can't go for a walk, because I'm going to pick me up in half an hour. Sorry yes!" candra said.

"Well, I don't know, we know you're a mami's son!" ary replied but made fun of Candra.

"Emang loe son mami kok, so not given away from nyokap loe!" Enno.

As they begin to tidy up the items they brought to stay over, comes an invitation for Candra.

"Can! That's what you do, isn't it?" ask Ary.

"Where?"

"Motor Mio color ijo!" answer Ary.

"Eh, yes. I'll go first, daaahhh!" said Candra while leaving Ary and Enno.

"Jogging bentar yuk, held behind the school. Sepi." take Ary.

"Get it!" answer Enno. "Loe's already so, ma kak Bayu?" ask Enno suddenly.

"Huh? Haha..." Ary laughed at Enno's question.

"No! I think of him as just a brother, nothing more. Even if it's more just a friend or friend." Ary explained that there was no misunderstanding between them.

"Cirain! Pity Alex, if you really become ma kak Bayu. She has been back and forth declaring her love ma loe!"

"Gue hasn't wanted to date, anyways my feelings for them are still gray. I love being friends with them, Alex ma kak Bayu." Ary sighed.

"They're both good at me, I'm comfortable with them. That was it!"

"Loe knows who sent the canned letter to Loe? ask Enno again.

"Don't know. There is no picture at all!" answer Ary.

"Loe suspects neither of them? Moreover, sister Bayu, what try to mean singing the song? Cook you unsuspecting that, as he was the committee. Could he slip a paper plane among the many paper planes." the Enno more kepo.

"Yes, too, but it's not her writing. I've seen his writing."

As the two of them were busy arguing over who sent the canned letter last night, it appeared that someone was starting to approach them.

"Assalamualaikum, good morning!" sapana.

"Wa'alaikum hail!" enno and Ary answered.

"Sir Bayu is still here? I haven't come home yet, brother. Who's waiting for you?" ask Ary base stale.

"Yes, wait for you! Who else?"

"Cie cie. who mo ushered home again." said Enno teasing Ary.

Ary's face flushed red from embarrassment being teased continuously. Bayu who saw Ary's face was flushed began to mediate. Because of being too affectionate and love for Ary, Bayu always tries to make Ary's feelings as comfortable as possible.

"Not on deck, kidding. This brother wants to go to the mosque, there is a grand study there. If mo come with me." said Bayu.

"Come from there, brother to GOR mo white swallow exercises. So I can't go home."

"Sister, thank you. Ary returned to Enno. It's also home." said Ary.

"We are first, brother, daaahhh..." Enno.

"Assalamualaikum" said Bayu.

"Wa'alaikum greetings" replied Ary and Enno compact. Then they split up.
