Akara Longs for the Waiting

“That was Meysa, Ren?"

The question that came out of Erza's mouth made Rena who was enjoying the scenery around the road had gawked for a moment to digest Erza's speech. Actually he heard, it's just a little vague. To make sure Rena was slightly advancing her head to the side of Erza's shoulder.

“What Za? What are you talking about?"

“That was Meysa?" Erza turned a little to repeat the question.

Rena was silent, confused as to what to answer. If you're honest, it can hurt Erza's feelings. However, even if you have to lie Rena is also confused about what to say, especially yesterday she had been disappointed about who Kai was.

“Themes, Za. Meysa's friend fit in OSN first." With forced Rena to make such an excuse. Coincidentally when High School Meysa had time to participate in the National Science Olympiad even though only to the provincial level. But incidentally this time it is very helpful, Kai's hometown is the city where the national Olympics were held at the time Meysa took part. Although Meysa did not get there and died at the provincial level, at least that reason can be used to answer Erza's questions. After all Erza does not know all the things about Meysa, especially when High School first, they are different cities. So Rena is involved.

“So Meysa has been to the High School Olympics?" Sure enough, Rena's statement made Erza more interested in discussing Meysa. Evidently with the face that was tangled now immediately smiled proudly to hear the new information he knew.

“Ee, i-iya Za, so Rena used to join OSN in this Kai city, so they can get to know!" said Rena hesitated to make sure his essay.

“Great also Meysa yes Ren.” The young man still showed a proud smile knowing the hidden facts of the person he liked. In Erza's heart really regretted why Meysa did not continue her education, even though she was among the outstanding students in High School. Erza thought, and behind Rena just nodded like a finch.

“Means that guy was the same age as you guys huh?"

“Eh, Za stop-stop, it's up!" rena shouted while patting Erza on the back. Making the young man question evaporate just like that. In his heart, Rena is grateful to have arrived at school, so he does not need to bother thinking about the answer to Erza's question.

“Still ya Erza handsome." Praise Rena so down from the bike. He did it just to divert the conversation.

Meanwhile in the store. Meysa looks like a fool, he has done absolutely nothing since his arrival there. The girl prefers to sit pensively at the cashier table while bowing her head.

Meysa is tired of her boring life. While all living beings his age are busy studying and thinking about work, he has continued to dissolve in prolonged heartbreak since a year ago. This love really torments her, takes her time, energy and all feelings. The separation of Father and Mother is indeed the most painful thing for him, breaking his spirit and making his life so chaotic, but the heartbreak caused by the Star is also no less torturing his mind. He wanted to stop but could not.

“My life problems are many, plus the problem of fighting with the feeling of forgetting you is really difficult and now you appear again. How can my race die like this?" Meysa's slender shuffling his head, made the triangular hijab slip away from there.

Meysa sighed and looked down again, she had no intention of putting the hijab back on her head. He prefers to turn back to his head and contemplate, hoping to kill time, even though he knows it is all in vain and does not make the burden of his mind disappear at all.

The ringing tone of the phone made him have to raise his head. The name Mamak is there. Making Meysa's memories of the conversation with Faza two nights ago, she was asked to contact her mother but Meysa didn't do it at all. This forced her to pick up the phone from the woman who had given birth to her.

“Assalamualikum, hello!" Meysa's mood is never good at all every time you call her mom, what filled his heart was only a sense of regret given how his mother repeatedly asked for separation from the father until his father also granted the request.

Harmonious relationships in his family are no longer obtained since his parents' business went bankrupt and all the gardens in the village must be sold to cover the debt. Meysa misses life first.

The resentment towards Mamak increased when mamak remarried without his knowledge when the woman who had given birth to him first agreed to his request to refer to the Father but instead disappointed him by marrying without telling. From that moment he was completely reluctant to contact his mother.

“Why never pick up your mom's phone, Meysa?"

“Tone ring hpku ndak active, mak," Meysa replied berkilah.

“Kan can be activated Mey?" Mom was heard breathing from the phone. Her mother knew her son was reluctant to talk to her.
