Aara is Not Lara

Unsettling the Souls of Singles

“Mas, you from now on call Ara deck only yes?” Chirping Ara suddenly.

“Adek means?” Grimacing her forehead, Rava stared fixedly at the side of Ara's face.

“Iya.. Want ya?” Ara asked with sparkling eyes while nodding her head, now she had returned Rava's eyes. According to Ara the call was quite sweet.

“Make. Later if outside you thought Mas's sister how?” Reject Rava while grabbing Ara's hand into his grasp. “Quite you are thought to be ponakan, do not want until someone thinks you are Mas's sister!”

“Indeed Mas not embarrassed if call Ara dear in front of people home?” Ara asked while swinging her hand in Rava's grasp like a kindergarten boy who was holding hands across the street.

“Negotted.. Why should I be ashamed too? Proud to know I can call you dear.”

“Hih.” Ara rolled her eyes lazily finding Rava's answer. Honestly, it is Ara who will be wrong every Rava call him dear in front of Mama Lauritz and Papa Yudith, different when in front of the two leaks, Ara is already immune.

“Oh yes.. I forgot to say. You will send a schedule of lecture hours with the usual hours you want to go to campus or anywhere for the next week.”

“Send to Mas?”

“Iya.. Mas next week have to go outside the City again, there is a little business that must be completed.”

“Go back or will stay there first?”

“As long as you test Mas won't be here. But Mas promise to make it home as soon as possible.”

“Means weekly yes there?” Ara muttered without a sound, even the movement of her lips was too faint to guess.

“Ngapain is a long time?” Ask Ara curiously. For him, Rava too often went outside the City.

“Precious work.. Make our future savings equal our family later.”

“Khem!” Deheman suddenly came from Ara who was covering up the embarrassment. He really should get used to receiving Rava speech that is as sweet as natural honey.

“Sama one more.. The place this time Mas came a bit difficult signal, so sorry if later Mas no news.” Rava said regretfully. His eyes turned soft with a sad face. If he can choose though, Rava will continue to do his job, there is a big goal he wants to achieve.

“Yeah.. How can? Very bright huh?” Apparently that sadness was also Ara felt. I don't know why Ara felt so unwilling.

“Iya, darling.” Answer Rava briefly. That breath sounds real.

Instantly there was a deep sense of sadness that slipped in Ara's heart. It feels like it was abandoned. Although in fact Ara was aware that what she was thinking was clearly not true.

Bugh.

Not a punch, let alone a raw bogem. The powerful sound came from Ara who suddenly crashed into the Rava deck. It's not like a raging cow.

“Kangen.” Rava stared with an unexpected surprise. Only his trembling pupils were busy digesting the situation at hand. He was dazed like a robot in the wrong setting. Silence, but does not freeze until loss of breath.

It's not just a shocking expression of longing. Currently Ara buried her face in the chest of Rava field spoiledly.

“Ara misses Mas Rava. Though not yet left. There was no news for a moment. Though yesterday Mas also out of the City, why go again?”

‘Padahan Ara who often avoid.’ Keep Ara in your heart. He admits to all his overly indifferent attitude.

I don't know what Ara was thinking, maybe he forgot one of the causes of the longing also because of his stupid behavior that silenced Rava. Not to mention the stupidity that forgot to have blocked Rava's mobile number.

Don't ask how high the frequency of the heartbeats Rava spikes. Clearly almost beat the ripple of festival music even sound as if racing with the bang of a nuclear bomb. But for Ara the pounding warmed her heart, very comfortable.

“Sa-honey?? You're okay, right?” Rava asked who was worried. The pleasure he had felt instantly evaporated. Do not forget also Ara who suddenly acted sweet on Rava. Rava was afraid of changing Ara's attitude because something bad had happened.

“Kangen aja.” Raising her head for a moment, Ara gave a different look. And for the first time Rava's heart was forced to beat millions of times faster. There was no awkwardness, anger let alone sadness, Ara's eyes filled with longing.

“Truly kangen?” Rava said as he stroked Ara's hair. Both of them forget the circumstances around, lucky parking is quiet. Nothing goes by to catch a scene full of drama that unsettles the soul of the singles to want to slam themselves into the bottom of the sea. Or maybe all the coincidences wrapped in luck.

As if the world approves, Rava parked the car on the edge of the road bordering hedges and large trees. The reason is clear because other parking lots are filled with cars and motorcycles. Certainly not because he could see the future and predict Ara would embrace him.

The super sickening exaggeration that Ara once thought, in fact he was experiencing. Is that so if you are in love?

“After you graduate college, we are legitimate right our relationship?” Rava said without further ado. The two locked eyes. Mutual channeling love that finally severed by the blink of Ara's eyes that began to feel pain. The wind in nature is too strong to blow, especially the two are still close to the waterfront area.

“Mas will struggle to ask for blessing to Papa and Mama. Just one thing I want to make sure of, will we be mutually responsible for our future?” Rava asked sincerely, but rest assured he was honestly nervous and prepared for the rejection of umpteenth time.

“Mau.”

“Udah Mas guess you must have said so. Ain't nothing.. WHAT!!???” Rava's desperate speech turned into a shout that shocked Ara.

“MAS!!” Pekik Ara was no less powerful. He was surprised by the sound and the tight grip of both Rava's hands on his shoulders and arms.

“Hit Mas now!”

“Ha!?”

“Hit!”

No!

Instead of hitting, Ara just lightly touched Rava's forehead. Leaving a trail of redness with wide-eyed Rava.

“Mas not dreaming!? This really?? It's real!??” Rava's question sounded hysterical and it was not clear who it was for. Because he was not looking at Ara, but the sky was still blue with the right palm holding his forehead.

“Darling you really want??” Rava asked with cupped hands squeezing each other in front of his chest. It was as if he was praying and begging if it was all reality.

Guess again, Ara will get married late in the semester or after graduating from college?🤔

Anyone feel Hana made her groove suddenly too rushed?😬

Let's liken it to sambal pete which Hana finally likes.🤭

At first, she did not like Pete. Not prestige in the smell, but in the tongue that feels strange. All that turned into a dream because Mama made pete in processed sambal.😄

Although at first there is a sense of unwillingness and hesitation, but eventually became like and addicted. Once when Hana wanted to eat again even thought ‘then again deh’, and that's where sambal almost ludes eaten Papa.😣

To lose? Pissed off? Saddened? Quitting?🤔

Everything is mixed just because of sambal pete, but surely Hana became aware that he already likes pete.😆

Nah.. Although not comparable, but almost the same as the feeling of Ara to Rava?🤭

Forgive this strange parable of the real bin.😁🙏

Thank you for faithfully monitoring Ara's story and always giving her support for Han🥰
