Aara is Not Lara

•the Second Ink of Ara

It's been a week since the incident at Ara mall parking lot passed. Yuki's attitude to Ara still looks full of worry, although it was covered through a jarring laughter was the silly behavior of Dimas.

How Yuki was not worried if ever seeing with her own eyes Ara screamed hysterically banging her head. The reason was also only because Ara saw a name similar to the name of the person who broke her heart.

“Ara.. I'm serious about this, it's fine, right?” Again and again Yuki asked the same thing over and over again for a week.

Releasing the plain maroon-red jacket she was wearing, Ara showed her left arm to Yuki.

Bugh.

“Ouch!! Pain Yuki. Play at aja.”

“Lagian asked that. Your soul's same brain is still in place, right?”

“Hmm” Only deheman, no answer yes or no.

“Ya has already. Ms. Dian had sent a message, do not forget to Kejora Cafe in the afternoon at 4. Will discuss his research with an outside lecturer. If you see Hans Liu, don't go crazy. Yesterday saw the name Hans aja kumat.”

“Apaan the hell Yuki!! Noisy!” Ara glared back at Yuki.

“Hahaha.. It's gone there. Later send a photo of the asdos yes, if a handsome brush or help PDKT the same me who is single.” Only the back of the head was given by Ara at this time. There was Yuki's behavior.

“Udah there is no more work I do on campus. I want to go home. Don't forget the photo.. Bye Ra.”

Yuki's hand wave accompanied her light steps passed leaving Ara who was beginning to imagine Hans according to her version. Lauwis Hans the second love who managed to break his heart beyond the first love story is no less bad.

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

That afternoon at the Kejora Cafe, Ara arrived half an hour early. Prepare the material or topic that will be discussed first until what chat things might be discussed. Understandably Ara is not a person who is talkative and friendly to new people, rather than stiff and awkward so it is better to make the scenario first instead.

(N. Flying – Awesome)

[Hello?]

These sounds? Lauvis Hans's?

[Hello? Is this really Ara's assistant Bu Dian's number?] The voice from across the street sounded.

“I-iiya. I-This is Ara.” Nervousness was the right word to describe Ara's current stuttering.

[I'm Hans Mr. Damar's assistant in statistics. Now I'm at the cafe. It just so happens that Mr. Damar has a sudden need, we will discuss both, so can we meet now?]

Still trying to listen to the other person over there, Ara started to get dizzy. The fear of Hans confronting him was his past.

[Hello Ara? Still hearing my voice?]

“I wear a black t-shirt sitting in the right corner of the cafe.”

[Ah black shirt huh? I think I saw. Let me get close for a moment.]

Sighing slowly Ara did repeatedly accompanied by the sound of footsteps approaching that increasingly clear in Ara's ears.

“Ara?”

The voice on his side was even clearer. Without turning her head and opening her eyes, Ara is convinced that this voice belongs to someone she once loved so much and who traumatized her and feared falling in love.

“Lauwis Hans, how are you?” That stiff smile was imprinted clearly on Ara's sweet face. Ara's hands were still busy squeezing the end of the t-shirt she was wearing.

“I think you forgot the same me Ra. It's great to finally see you again.” In contrast to Ara, Hans' smile looked very sincere. Hmh! Don't be fooled!!

“But I'm not happy.” Ara's murmur was still clearly heard in Hans' ear.

“Sorry I Ra. 3 Years ago you misunderstood me. Until now I still love you Ra.” Hans stared at Ara, he grabbed Ara's hand, “Sorry I am Ra?”

“Please!” Jerking roughly at Hans' hand, Ara stared at the increasingly handsome face sharply.

“Lupain past!” Continue Ara with a raised voice. Huh! Maintains his pride by speaking arrogantly. How Ara could say that when he was still in the shadow of their past.

“So Hans Liu is you?” Ara's forehead creased as she began to realize that Hans Liu was waiting for but this was Lauwis Hans.

“Iya, it's me. From the beginning I saw your name on the assistant list I knew right away you were Ra. I purposely wrote my other name so you don't shy away from me anymore. 2 Years ago we lost contact” Highlight Hans eyes seem full of sadness and wounds. Shouldn't it be Ara who was injured here?

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

Ara and Hans were friends while in High School. Friends only. The relationship between the two hangs, there is no clarity even though it looks like each other.

Once Hans asked Ara what their relationship was like, ‘We are friends lah’ that is Ara's answer. There was pain and voidness as the sentence escaped from Ara's lips. Ara wanted them to be more than friends, but Hans' conversation that Ara had accidentally heard made the only friend's answer steadfastly thrown.

“I don't think there's anything we need to talk about in the past. This is the material that I want to discuss and ask for, Ms. Dian. It's clear enough to read. I have to go, there's another business.”

Putting everything she wanted to bring back into the bag carelessly, Ara hoped to quickly disappear from the cafe this time.

“Ra, wait a minute.” Hans softly tried to hold Ara back from leaving, but was ignored by Ara who was already turning her back on Hans.

“Is there still me in your heart Ra?” Basic Hans is shameless. I think that silly question can be asked.

“No!!” Without looking Ara spoke and just passed from before Hans. Unaware both of them were two hearts that were both injured at that time.

Flashback.

“Linda, I like you. I want you to be my girlfriend, will ya?”

Ara's familiar voice has just given a statement of love, not for Ara, but Linda, her school's prima donna. Trying to strengthen her heart, Ara saw what was happening behind the wall.

There were two women and three men there, one of them was Linda and there was Hans. But what surprised Ara was Hans' fingers that tightly grasped Linda's fingers.

Without hearing the answer to Hans' love statement, Ara rushed to leave the place. Now he realized why Hans once said he liked it but only wanted to be friends. It turns out that their liking is different.

Then what reason can explain Hans' attitude to him so far that like a lover. Saying good-bye, reminding of his duties and health, giving chocolate, gifts that have not been counted, and coming to his house just want to meet, and, and the words diligently jump rope so that in pelaminan look more harmonious what is.

Off Flashback.
