Aara is Not Lara

Night Clock

The twilight in the western horizon almost disappeared. Faint reddish colors adorn at the end of view, the sky is not dark, but the moon is already present to say hello.

The sound of children rang out in an alley of a residential complex area. Still busy kicking each other round objects that can roll and mentally to here and there. Not to miss the screams of the woman labeled ‘Mother’ who ordered for her children to return home, take a shower and stay home at night to say hello.

“Uwaahh..!! Tear my back!” Complain Lea while laying herself on the floor of Arini's boarding terrace.

“Propa. It's over for today soon. Tomorrow we continue a little more.” Zen said as if encouraging Lea. Even so, he also followed by laying himself with his hands outstretched on the opposite side of the terrace. Luckily the terrace where Arini's boarding is quite spacious.

If only there were no Zen, surely Ara, Lea and Arini would prefer to compete with a series of reports of activities in the room. If the back feels stiff and achy can be directly slammed into the soft mattress. But unfortunately there is a Zen that is clearly strictly prohibited from entering the Arini boarding room which is only a room with a bathroom in it.

“Enak times yes the children were thought only play, eat the same snacks aja.” Lea said while inching to drag her lying body closer to Ara, her head raised and resting arbitrarily on Ara's thigh.

“Akh!” Ara's strangled cry was shocked. He is focusing on observing the accountability report of activities while in L Village.

Plaque.

It wasn't Ara who delivered a punch that looked more like that slap. But Arini who hit Lea's leg who accidentally nudged his bowed head.

“Sick oneng!”

Poking his two right fingers, Lea scowled at Arini. “Peace. Not intentionally, Rin.” Said Lea while pinning her head on Ara's thigh. The difference, obviously that's what Ara felt.

“Lea, pause, step aside first.” Said Ara gently, pushing Lea's head slowly from her left thigh, shifting her body to sit a few inches away, Ara stretched her already tingling legs.

“You why do you like nempel-nempel same Ara? Curious me from the start we introduce you doyan bobbleut, mendusel-dusel like meong gitu.” Seloroh Arini pitched sewot, even seemed shrill until the screams of children who whine not want to bathe can be disguised.

“Ara fragrance.” Leah replied quickly, now she is sitting beside Ara and leaning her body like it is not boned.

“I smell good too but you don't. Uh, but good is.” Chirps Arini, the look on her face changed with a twinkle full of relief.

Ignoring Arini and Lea who were chatting in an uncertain direction and Zen who was about to fall asleep, Ara grabbed her phone, read a message from Rava that Ara had just realized, even though it had entered a few dozen minutes earlier. The ringing of the phone that was accidentally obliterated made Ara who rarely held the phone increasingly forget the existence of her flat object.

“Get me to.” Said Ara suddenly, pulling both corners of her lips until presenting a thin smile. Looking up at the faces preparing for a small farewell, except Arini who stayed inside his room only.

“Apicked who Ra?” Zen asked Ara while packing his laptop into a bag, rolling up the cellphone and laptop charger cable originally, which was important to be able to quickly settle down and inhabit his backpack only.

“Oh, the.” I don't know if she's still a little embarrassed to mention Rava as a girlfriend to someone other than Dimas and Yuki. But it does not mean shame in a bad sense, but rather shame that presents a red pseudo on the cheeks because of the sudden feeling of flowers.

“Sayang.”

Like the welcoming line of invited guests at a wedding, both Lea, Arini and Zen suddenly stood up. Greeting respectfully and politely to Rava who was once a lecturer, especially for Arini and Zen who are both from the Faculty of Economics.

“Udah to Mas?” Ara asked Rava who was obviously just a pleasantries. It is clear Rava in front of him, why is it still being asked has been up to everything.

Stepping closer to grab the bag that Ara was about to wear, Rava seemed to assume the presence of others between himself and Ara was nothing more than a concrete pole. “Yes, are you done?”

Nodding softly, Ara switched to wearing her black flip-flops. “Udah kok.”

“I first yes.” Pamit Ara while waving her hands parallel to her shoulders.

“Bye..”

“Initial yes, mari.” Said Rava who ended up staring at the three friends of Ara one by one.

...----------------...

“Where to Darling? Did you finish the job?” Rava asked as he rubbed the corner of Ara's lips that were hit by the peanut sauce. Membatin Ara wanted to shout so that Rava would not have to bother cleaning up that little stain. Not because uncomfortable with the envious gaze or baper of others, but Ara regretted the peanut sauce that she could still lick with the tip of her tongue.

Shaking slowly and still continuing to chew, Ara answered briefly. “But.”

“Need to find someone who can play? Just pay it and you don't have to be tired anymore.” Tanya Rava gave a proposal, it happened that he had a proficient acquaintance and had jumped directly into the world that was indeed part of his job.

Shaking firmly against Rava's proposal, Ara propped her elbows on the table with her palms clasping each other. “No need Mas. Ara wants her own work. It's okay if the results are ordinary, which is important own effort.” Said Ara seriously, he did not like what his obligations should be done by others.

“But don't be too tired huh, Yang. If you want maybe a friend can help you direct it. It could be your job so quickly finished.” Rava said gently, sipping a squeeze of orange ice on a cool night.

“Mas, Ara to toilet first yes.” Said Ara suddenly, feeling a sudden burst of urine waves.

“Mau Mas accompany?” Tanya Rava who also moved from her seat.

“Apaan.. No, can be alone.” Reject Ara with panted eyes. If confirmed, Rava will definitely follow.

“Surely kebelet bang.” Rava said as he shook his head faintly, propping up his chin with his hands resting on the table, smilingly watching Ara who was running small in a hurry.

“I never thought that you could be near me, even accept my presence.” Rava muttered as he lowered his head, finishing the last mouthful of the piece of pennant on his plate.

‘If Papa directly bless us to get married immediately, surely now I am not tormented by curfew.’ Membatin Rava chewed the lontong in his mouth casually. Looking up at his suddenly vibrating mobile phone, a familiar name was on the screen of Rava's phone.

Stepping lightly, Ara's forehead wrinkled as the look in Rava's eyes sharpened and flashed furiously in Ara's eyes. “Mas why?”
