Aara is Not Lara

Difficile

Though Ara felt only yesterday completed the exam half a semester, but now she was sitting with nausea due to the powerful shock of a speedboat-type ferry that hit the waves and waves in the ocean.

Just waiting for another half hour trip he will get to the opposite island which is quite remote. Ara and her group had spent 2 hours traveling by road using the campus bus, then had to continue another 2 hours sailing the ocean by speedboat.

If you know it will be not fun, Ara prefers to ride a ro-ro type ferry despite having to survive 6 hours adrift in the ocean. Larger capacity with a relatively slow travel speed makes the shock of the ro-ro ship is in the minimum level.

“Toilet.. Where's the toilet!?” The cry was riled from the lips that were quickly sealed shut. Holding something that breaks down the esophagus and stir the stomach.

“Hok..!!” The mouth that was open rounded with the tongue sticking out was already unable to hold back, he gave up with his head bowed weakly. A split second later a hand gently massaged his nape.

“Oper's to Lea, Zen.” Said Ara while thrusting a bag of crackle and eucalyptus oil to Zen, Ara-like men who occupied the seat on the right side of Ara, flanking Ara who sat the edge of the 3 seats lined up.

“Lea, nih!” Zen's hand extended to the opposite seat, passing the bag of crackles that Lea had grabbed in a hurry. “Allows vomiting there aja.”

“Exit aja Feb. Do not be held like that if you want to vomit.” Lea said as she moved her fingers stiff, massaging Feby's nape as she tried to spit out her entrails into a black crackle bag.

Of course Leah was disgusted, but she had to accept the fate of getting a seat in the same row and row as Feby. Unlike Lea who was busy helping Feby, someone sitting by the window of the ship seemed to be asleep. Either sleeping or fainting, which he obviously did not bother at all.

“You're not nauseous, Ra?” Zen asked Ara who looked up with her eyes closed. Not only was she not nauseous, but Ara was suggesting to herself not to feel a violent rebellion in her stomach.

“Hm.” Dehem Ara was brief, covering his face with an oversized hoodie hood.

“Sandar to my shoulder.” Zen said half-whispered to Ara who was not harried. The unmoving aura enjoys the sickening sensation that is lost and appears dependent on the pounding of the ship's hull and the craze of the waves.

“Ra?” The sound as well as the gentle jolt woke Ara from her short sleep. Grazing slowly in the darkness behind the hood, Ara's mouth opened wide and passed drowsiness through lips that seemed to roar.

“Udah until?” Ask Ara with a hoarse voice typical of waking people who are still sleepy.

For a moment Ara began to realize that there was no more powerful shock. The ferry he was riding was bobbing slowly, seemingly not leaning.

“Dermaganya good. You didn't see.”

“Udah documentation from afar right?” Ara asked seriously, nausea beat the performance of her brain that had to run the task.

“Udah dong.. We will see it on the bus. He said there we have to take the bus again.” Zen said passionately, shaking hands with a mobile phone in his grasp.

‘Ah, on the bus, means have to sit with him again.’ Ara complained in her heart, she was quite uncomfortable near the opposite sex. Moreover, only even 9 days they met in group chat and only 3 times face to face, including today.

Even for Dion who is a Doctor who deals with psychiatric problems, Ara is still often awkward and build a solid barrier wall. As for Bima, Dimas and Gilang, they also have their own stories.

“How are our things?” Feby asked weakly with a listless look, trying to step in with Ara's help.

“Udah Aided Zen. You rest first.” Ara said as she led Feby to sit leaning on the elongated permanent cement chair. “Nih, drink first.”

“I swear I give it up if we get back on that speedboat again. I paid for the big boat ticket myself. Kapok me.” Feby complained still with his voice weakened.

“Learn more waves high, so the impact on the ship body is very strong.” Said Ara while remembering the conversation of his group's lecturer with speedboat captains that he accidentally heard.

“Come.”

Ara was aghast and almost hit the rough hand of Lea who was wriggling in the arm. “Jeez, Lea.. Make a surprise.”

“You sit with me huh?” Lea's whisper was right in Ara's ear.

“Why?” Ara asked without lowering her voice intonation.

“Do not want if later hit by Feby again.” Lea said softly while shuddering, can Ara feel Lea's body shaking with goosebumps.

“Yes, I'm the same Feby. You sit with Zen and help me with travel documentation, how?”

“What can?” Feby chirps with frown pursed while stretching back.

“Lea help me take documentation.” Ara answered quickly while receiving a mini-groove of her suitcase from Zen who tilted her head, staring at Ara confusedly.

Hadn't he told Ara that he would show the results of the documentation on the ship as well as discuss the basic picture of the video that will be submitted as a report of KKN activities, Zen thought in his heart. But as soon as Zen tepis, maybe Ara forgot. After all it would be more comfortable sitting with a fellow male if there was a sharp bend, so obviously he would ask Lea to find a fellow female sitting companion, not with him.

Evidently now the two human children who were assigned to be documentation sessions can not focus on taking pictures or just original videos. The winding road that is mediocre if passed 2 cars are opposite each other in the direction does not discourage the bus driver to plug pol gas.

Now everyone is praying hopefully that their lives will not be lost. Especially for those who sit on the left side, facing directly on the rocky cliff with the waves that greet.

“This is a group stop of 7 in L.” Village Shouted someone that Ara did not know, but quite explained that this is where Ara will start the days up to 1 month in the future together to 8 new friends, except Feby who is already quite familiar with Ara.

Retracing for the first time, Ara can feel the new environment with air that feels very refreshing. Even though it was quite late afternoon, the sun almost sank in the western horizon, poking shyly to say goodbye and goodbye again tomorrow.

“Good afternoon.” The baritone voice broke Ara's empty daydream.

“Maybe for now you can immediately rest and prepare for the opening activity tomorrow held by the District. Later that night we gather for a moment in the basecamp that has been provided by the Village.” He said at length, then looked at a local. “It is so, Sir?”

“Iya, Sir. Coincidentally the basecamp is also the place where these sisters live for approximately 40 days later. Already separated between men and women even in the same building.” Replied the middle-aged man who apparently served as Village Chief L.

“It just so happens that this village has almost 4 months of funding assistance including building infrastructure that will be used by the brothers and sisters. Only later for vehicles from the Village can only lend the emperor motor for transportation.” He said while pausing with a short breath.

“But do not have to worry if you want to use a 2-wheeled motorbike can directly borrow to me or the surrounding residents only. The community here is quite friendly, so do not be afraid.” Another imbibing.

The conversation seemed to enter the right ear and out the left ear, escaping freely without really wanting to be filtered. Tired of already whacking the bodies of young people who want to quickly lay down his body even if only on the floor, grass or even sand though.

Will there be an exciting or poignant story during Ara's KKN period?🤔

*

*

Remember the Nindy case that spread gossip?😀

Still don't know who the henchmen are?🧐

This is already a spoiler, so can you imagine or will there be nothing later?🤔

By the way, from yesterday it was difficult to enter the writing section. Even had appeared the novel notif removed which made shock.🤧 Thank goodness the time Hana opened on the website is still there and tonight look at the apk there as well.🙂

If there is a typo please impregnate the meaning itself, Hana checks again. But certainly not immediately after this chapter UP.

For friends who comment sorry have not been able to reply all one-on-one.🙏

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