Aara is Not Lara
New Drama Stage
The sound of the cock crowing disturbed Ara's sleep. Almost overnight Ara and Mama Lauritz were in serious talks. Both of Ara's parents were already strongly opposed to Grandpa Baren's wishes and had already taken the unanimous decision to completely distance her three children from the entire main family.
Although a long and soothing explanation entered smoothly in the auditory canal Ara, but it was only responded by Ara as a form of trust in Papa Yudith and Mama Lauritz. In fact, Ara would not believe, he had very memorized Mama Lauritz's family is super selfish. Not to mention if Papa Yudith's family knew the crazy idea of Grandpa Baren, 1000% Ara sure will certainly force the spirit of forcing Ara to accept arranged marriages in order to participate as a parasite in the life of 'rich husband Ara' later.
Still lying next to Mama Lauritz, Ara blinked her eyes slowly. Many things Ara had thought of since her eyes were still perfectly closed. If the chance to persuade Eric to refuse the match fails, then Ara must have a backup plan in the form of human weapons. The only thing Ara could think of was Gilang.
'Bilang.. Yes, please help Bang Gilang.' Ara's smile expanded, a speck of enlightenment appearing as another solution.
Sitting cross-legged, Ara rotated her eyeballs slowly. Instead of observing the conditions of the room room of a simple inn, he was busy thinking about various kinds of plans. Yes, his family prefers to pay for lodging rooms rather than having to feel the heat of staying in the main house of the family of Vromme aka the home of Mama Lauritz's parents.
"Back from here should lobby that person. Moga would." Mumbled softly cupped his palms to cover his face, Ara still frustrated. No matter if both parents tell Ara to forget and be quiet enough not to bully.
The goal of Papa Yudith and Mama Lauritz again discussed arranged marriage only for Grandpa Baren to hear directly Ara's rejection. His intention to make Grandpa Baren aware of the rejection of his own grandson's lips actually provoke other threats that continue to be thrown.
Smile and keep smiling Ara thought about her strategy, but everything only lasted for not half an hour or even 15 minutes. Ara's smile only lasted 7 minutes before another possible problem jolted Ara's common sense. Again the soul of the thinker Ara makes a picture if his plan boomerangs destruction for himself.
"But if you look at the material, let alone the family background, Bang Gilang must have been immediately kicked out of it." Ara said softly as she occasionally watched Mama Lauritz beside her and Papa Yudith sleeping on the floor with a thick blanket.
"Why if asked to use the same marriage as Bang Gilang??" Ara grabbed her hair, her face drowned between her knees. "How is this supposed to keep everything safe??"
Silent with a pulsating head that for a long time actually sounded a smooth snoring. Ara fell asleep in a sitting position with her knees resting her head until the sunlight greeted.
"Sister.. Let's take the bath!!" Shouted Mama Lauritz to Ara who was still incubating in the bathroom like a hen afraid of losing her eggs.
"Yes Ma.. Justjust.." Shouted Ara strongly from inside the bathroom. Actually Ara had finished her bath, only she was busy diving into her thoughts.
Chequelek
"We're going home, Ma today?"
"Yes Brother.. But now we go to the hospital first.. Keep stopping by Grandma Ida's house with Grandpa Bagus. We didn't get to go home to Papa."
"That's Papa's parents' house, Papa's house in B Ma.. Just in City B Mama's house with Papa and there will be where we and our family go home." Ara's full of emphasis.
"Yes, brother, yes.. In the morning, don't frown. Later look old Brother of Mama who is still ting-ting pretty ageless this." Pinching the squash on both sides of Ara's cheeks while occasionally patting slowly, Mama Lauritz wanted to reduce the wrinkles that Ara created on her face.
"Loh the real Ma.. Papa's wife is the most beautiful.. Papa's son can't be jealous.. Beautiful too, but look forward to her Mama." The crisp words of Papa Yudith sounded like frogs calling out to rain, noisy but unstoppable.
"Well, where was breakfast the first time?? Ara hungry super duper pol now. I want a bad one." Ara asked her parents. Mama Lauritz who was still busy packing a small suitcase just raised her chin to code Papa Yudith.
"Breakfast don't care Brother.. Pecel's gonna take a ride, sister?"
"YOUUU!!! Put on a little egg, Pa!!?"
"It's so exciting to have food."
"Your old mom didn't cook that anyway.. Yesterday I made peyeknya, but the hunt here so failed to make pecel." Gerutu Ara upset considering the effort to fry peyek first time to be realized in the creation of rice pecel sambal overlap by Mama Lauritz.
"Same Bang Gilang must have been bulldozed with ketoprak or gado-gado Ma.. Peyeekk.."
Leaving behind a peyek peyek memory drama complete with anchovies studded with fine slices of orange leaves, Ara had held back her saliva melts so as not to drip while waiting for her order to arrive. Every step of the simple food stall waiter will observe Ara like she has been hit by a magnet. Already many times Ara screeched when every plate layered banana leaves it landed not on the table Ara.
...----------------...
When the sun was almost parallel to the shadow, Ara had arrived again in the hospital parking lot. Mama Lauritz and Papa Yudith did not work this time for Ara. Surviving her stubbornness, Ara refused to visit Grandma Mira if she had to meet Grandpa Baren as well. Let him look super brash, better get away from now before it's too late.
"It's hours soon.. Just wait a minute." Staring at the screen of his phone, Ara recalled the history of a short message with Bima last night. Sighing in a huff of gasp, Ara found no trace of the lie covered by Bima.
Bima has been honest as far as Ara knows, but why Ega must cover the meeting between herself and Bima. Moreover, the conversation to meet Eric that Ara heard actually led him to the meeting between Ega and Bima. It was only natural that various allegations raged in Ara's mind.
So here Ara was sitting himself after having time to contemplate in the car. In the hospital cafeteria accompanied by a glass of squeezed orange ice with a bowl of dumpling chicken noodles, Ara seemed to have a double stomach. Suddenly being a critical thinker makes Ara easily starved, maybe it is basically a greedy Ara but makes an alibi because many think hard.
"Fine.." The masculine baritone's voice made Ara choke in shock.
"Uhuk!! Uhuk!!" Grabbing his orange ice squeeze, Ara immediately swigged out no longer sipping drinks through straws.
"Sorry Ra, so what's wrong??" The question was full of worries, but in Ara's eyes everything at the moment seemed like cheap pleasantries. Unlike the past which must have been considered Ara as a form of attention.
Ara was still holding the weight of her mind. He still leaves room if his assumptions are wrong and even hurt good people. But still there is a sense of disappointment that arises when imagining his conjecture into reality.
"Bang Bima has been in this hospital for a long time??" Diverting the conversation, Ara wanted to quickly drain all sorts of information.
"Kok could be here Bang?? Isn't it that you're still sick and can't move hospitals??"
"The owner of the hospital there is like this hospital Ra. Whether by coincidence or how from this hospital there is a pull of medical staff from the foundation in City Y, everyone has the right to stay later sorted and Brother also really wants to fuss about the new atmosphere, he said, so, my brother came on the list.. The result is yes now, the submission of Abang approved and Abang continued the koas Abang here." Bima said without the slightest hesitation
Ara's mind immediately floated not knowing where, maybe he had received treatment at the hospital owned by Om Arya but he was not aware at all. What other coincidences should Ara feel. If you believe the figure of Bima in front of him is Eric, it might be more natural when Ara knows about this new reality. Family power becomes possible so that it can make Bima move at will.
There was still a little sense of obstruction because it felt very impossible, as far as Ara knew there was no movement of koas out of the city as Bima said. Choosing to pretend to believe in Bima's words, Ara's eyes began to look toward the elevator that seemed from Ara's position. There was no point in urging Ega, it was better to have her in a pinch position to be honest like Ara's current plan.
'It's got to be lo Mas!' Grinning thinly at a glance, Ara began to take a swing.
"Remove here for a second.." Ara said without looking at Bima by directly moving towards the figure of Ega.
"Maassa.." The sound of Ara made spoiled candy. The imitation of Ega's arm without permission was quite attractive.
"Tumben being a kid?" Frowning Ega's astonishment at Ara's attitude.
"Can't you??"
"It's okay, just a tumben."
"Let's get some cepet, my chicken noodles will get cold." Attractive or rather Ara drags strong Ega by trying to run small. Both have arrived at the table where Ara enjoys the chicken noodles that are currently unsolvable, fully inflated in the bowl.
"Mas, this is Bang Bima. Bang, this is my Mas, his name is Ega." Said Ara with a bright smile. Can Ara see there is a little surprise on the faces of Bima and Ega that only appear at a glance.
"Come on, acquaintance!!" Forcing the two men to shake hands, Ara kept an eye on every change in the look of Bima and Ega's face.
'This is them again acting or just ordinary??' Ara said in her heart that the reaction of the two men before her was normal, there was no sign of shock.
The three spent a long time until Papa Yudith and Mama Lauritz sent Ara to the car to continue the journey. There was no strange thing at all, like Ara's magic as if just seeing the talk between the boss and the servants. There may be 1 different, namely Bima's surprised gaze on Ara who apparently is still the family of the hospital owner who selected as a place of koas.
...----------------...
'When you are busy laughing, joking, sharing affection.. I just have Mama, Papa and my two sisters to share our little laugh. We are also part of you.' Ara's eyes were staring at a family. There was an elderly couple, a young couple and a toddler who became the center of laughter of the four adults.
Lying when Ara said not to envy the toddler, Ara was very, very envious. If he were to be that toddler, what might Ara's affectionate gaze get?? I don't know what ability Ara has, but Ara is able to remember memories since she was 3 years old. Ara did not feel great, instead she was angry with the memories that twisted like it had just happened.
When Ara was 5 years old, Papa Yudith had gone. The lives of Ara and Mama Lauritz did not immediately wait for monthly money from Papa Yudith, but sought additional income from selling mixed ice. Even Ara small with the thought of helping Mama Lauritz to be willing to sell her donut supplies to friends during Kindergarten school. Until finally Mama Lauritz took the initiative to bring Ara snacks or small snacks because it saw Ara was very eager to sell. Of course the money was saved for Ara himself as motivation and mental training.
Not a big income from selling mixed ice Mama Lauritz still set aside to buy something for his parents and in-laws, such as rice, sugar, oil and various staples as Mama Lauritz can. But do you know what Grandma Ida did when the mother and child had just set foot in the courtyard of the house for the sake of the little hard-earned thing that had been purchased?? Mama Lauritz was expelled, Ara referred to as a tool to ask Mama Lauritz to the family Papa Yudith. There was no warm welcome, only a hovering broom hit Mama Lauritz's leg that Ara remembered.
Sick, it really hurts. Not that Ara didn't know back then, Ara was a smart kid. Mama Lauritz's family's habit of being ignored did not make little Ara beg for affection for the other people she was introduced to as family. But Ara still knows when her Mama is sad, when her Mama is crying silently in the corner of the kitchen and of course how Mama Lauritz's hard work saves everything.
'Mama', that's the word that came out of little Ara's lips with a quiver, squeezing the small stuffed fur bag without daring to step. Just like this time, Ara's teary eyes held back her cries.
"Mama.. Don't want to come here." Ara's hoarse voice broke the silence, Ara's breath choked. So did Papa Yudith who suddenly shed tears. The figure of a strong hero in Ara's life turned his face because he was unable to dispel the fall of tears.
"We'll be there for a minute, brother.. We haven't seen Grandma Ida in a long time with Grandpa Good, have we?" Mama Lauritz asked softly, but Ara could catch her sad eyes trying to toughen up in front of Ara.
"Ampun Ma.. Brother does not want.. Brother here is Ma.." Hearing the word 'forgiveness' really heartbreaking Mama Lauritz and Papa Yudith.
'Oh God.. It's all your mama's fault for being traumatized like a gini..' Satin mama Lauritz, rubbing at the top of Ara's head he continued to do. Looking at Papa Yudith who had wiped away her tears, Mama Lauritz opted out without Ara.
Like a bully, a rough pat on the hands of Mama Lauritz who tried to shake hands opened a new drama in the eyes of Ara. He wanted to go out and beat up the people who were rude to Mama Lauritz, but his legs were wobbly when he found a face that used to fill his nightmares.
