Aara is Not Lara

The Long Distance Relationship

“Kakak sure to join Gilang home?” Mama Lauritz said with a heavy heart. Mama Lauritz honestly wanted to hold back Ara's return, but she also realized that Ara's education was more important. Mama Lauritz was forced to ask permission to miss Jona and Rian's school.

“Iya, Mother. Bang Gilang also said it was okay. You can be a friend on the road.” Answer Ara with eyes focused on the line of sentences from the laptop screen that lights up.

“Continue your test how is Kak? Not finished yet?”

“Leave on the page, keep compiling the table of contents just like Ara re-read it. At most half an hour finished.” Said Ara relaxed. The paper contains 23 sheets that already contain a literature review along with a discussion of the design of the coastal development of his dreams.

In a short time Ara managed to assemble the flow of activities from field surveys to the steps of development projects. But it is far from perfect.

At least Ara confident still able to pursue the value of singles B, do not have a coupling like B-, let alone C-. It may be different if the pair - (minus) is worth A. Very sincere Ara accepted it, even better if the single A value he got. Arg.. Singles troubling.

“Sister's clothes have been packed all?” Mama Lauritz asked as she spread her eyes.

“Udah, Mom. Earlier this morning Ara immediately washed the dirty clothes continue to go into the dryer, so there is no event separating dirty and clean clothes. After all, you only need to bring the backpack.” Said Ara while pointing at the backpack placed on the bed. “Kaos that Brother wears this just stay closed shirt. So no more clothes to pack.”

“Laptop you are wearing?”

“Kakak take it home too?” Ask Ara doubtfully.

“Grandpa has already given to Brother, so yes this has Brother.”

“Nothing, Ma?” Again there was a tone of doubt in Ara's question.

“If you return it makes your Grandpa discouraged. Better Brother once again say thank you.” Mama Lauritz replied with a deep smile.

“Do your rigorous exams. Later sent continues to remember there is less.” Mama Lauritz said again that made Ara's gaze that had shifted back to focus on her paper.

“Iya, Mom.”

“Say say what time it is here?”

“Jam 4 pm later Ma.”

“Still an hour and a quarter more. Eat first yes before leaving, later Sister starved.”

“Siap, Ma.”

Eating a plate of warm white rice with scrambled spicy sausage eggs, Ara pressed orange ice to wash her throat. At that time, it was 4 hours less than 20 minutes. It had been about 20 minutes since the last time Gilang informed himself on the way.

“You don't eat spicy sour shrimp made by Aunty? Or do you want to make a stir-fry? Cuisine Aunt kitchen delicious, Brother.” Said Grandpa Baren who was sitting on the chair opposite Ara.

“Udah This is aja Kek. Shrimp kangen cuisine Mama.” Ara replied after swallowing the rice she was chewing. Although only scrambled sausage eggs, but it was cooking without the intervention of others. The simple menu that Mama Lauritz used to make when pressed but hungry struck.

Enough of her Mama's cooking alone to be a rice companion on Ara's plate. Moreover, spicy sour shrimp, want Ara will not touch it. He's allergic and of course Grandpa Baren doesn't know it.

“Kakak.” Mama Lauritz cried with hunting steps. “Still eating?”

“Amorning done. Why Ma?” Ara replied that honestly only needs to be embraced, because Mama Lauritz would have witnessed Ara who opened her mouth wide ready to accommodate the last few feeds.

“Mistress already in front with Papa.”

“Udah come to him? Kirain is still a long time.” Say Ara while accelerating her chewing. Even the rice that Ara had yet to destroy was swallowed by force.

“Silver eat slowly. Let Grandpa be with your Papa who accompanied Gilang in front.” Shifting back his chair, Grandpa Baren passed towards the living room.

“Bi, later please clean Ara's former feeding yes.” Pinta Mama Lauritz suddenly on a kitchen manager who just put a tray filled with snacks.

“Iya, Nyah. Excuse me between snacks in the future first, excuse Nyah, Ma'am Ara.” He said politely while bowing his head at a glance at Mama Lauritz and Ara.

“Udah Sister just stay the plate. Down the rice while sitting join in front.” Mama Lauritz said while giving water to Ara. Because the glass of iced orange that accompanied Ara eating had run out first.

“You sure you want the motor home to City B? Carry at home Lang.” Said Grandpa Baren while gently patting Gilang's shoulder.

“If bring car, motor Gilang how Kek?” Tanya Gilang was confused.

“Let's let Grandpa tell people to send your motor. Or if you want to be able to buy a new motorcycle there, let Grandpa transfer the money. All the same Ara directly buy together.” Grandpa Baren replied casually, as if Gilang's motor was only as big as dandruff stuck between fingernails.

“Ara prefers riding Kek motor. Because the wind immediately makes you not get drunk travel. Motor parts at home can still be used.”

“Iya, Cake. Nothing, besides Gilang very dear to the Gajih.” Said Gilang while staring at the dominant motor in white.

“Examine?” Mumbled Ara while scrunched her forehead.

“Iya, dashing advanced.” Clearly Gilang while puffing his chest proudly. While all the people there were only able to shake slowly.

All of them give advice, prayers and trust to always be careful. The affectionate decrees and loving wave accompanied the departure of Ara and Gilang. But there was clearly one human figure who stood reluctantly with a cynical look as his farewell to Ara, who else if not Aunt Laura.

Instead of ignoring the man who continues to put forward his ego and arrogant nature, Ara actually secretly stuck out her tongue mocking. Don't copy it, it's rude, Ara is just a reflex. Maybe Ara's tongue needs refreshing, meeting the beauty of the world because it is always confined in the darkness of the mouth fenced teeth that are not perfectly flat.

“You what?” Ara asked Gilang as the motorbike stopped at a small roadside stall.

“Buy bottled water first Ra.” Said Gilang while taking out his wallet.

“Take a big 1 is enough?”

“Take a small one only 2.”

“Kan cheaper a big.” Ara Protests.

“It is difficult if you suddenly want to drink. We can take a shower on the bike. The size of 600 ml is only 2.” Point Cross on bottled water that is still sealed lid.

Drrt.. Drrt..

“Bentar Bang.” Say Ara while reaching for a phone with a lighted screen that says Rava.

“Halo Mas?”

[Honey.. You're doing all right? Sorry, but there is a signal.] Staring at the pounding waves of the beach for a long time getting away, Rava had more than tens of minutes looking for a signal. As if chasing the receding sea water, in fact Rava was anxious in the desperate signal.

“Bang Rava?” Gilang said softly, but miraculously the sound was vaguely caught by Rava's danger warning radar.

[Darling, who are you?] Tanya Rava flat on Ara.

A familiar voice disturbed Rava's mind. It seems that the LDR relationship aka Long Distance Relationship is really not suitable for him, Rava thought. Instead of not believing in Ara, it's just that Rava feels too jealous despite just thinking about Ara with other men.

“Oh.. That..”
