ARAKAS

CHAPTER 5

"Ara's home!" ara shouted happily as she entered the house. Unfortunately the house was empty and there were no inhabitants

"Non Ara."

The girl turned to a middle-aged maid.

"Where's the house?" tannya

"Mr Kim left for Germany this afternoon on business, and Ravel was in her room."

"Tante Nindy?"

"Mrs Nindy said she'd come home to Bandung for a month."

"Oh that. Then Ara up yah bi." Ara said goodbye to the maid and

quickly ran up the stairs, entering her sister's room just like that.

"Sister!" shouts spirit.

Ravel looked at her brother lazily. He preferred to focus on the script in his hands.

"Why brother? acting practice? here I help you." Ara tried to snatch the manuscript from her brother's hand but was quickly prevented by the man.

"Get out." throw Ravel out coldly in a low voice.

"But I want to be with brother first."

"I said get out." Ravel's voice started to rise.

Ara ignored her brother's words and sat on the angel's bed.

"ARANAYA OUT !" ravel yelled again pushing rough Ara's body forced her out of her room and slammed the door rough not forgetting to lock it.

Ara looked down sad. He turned to walk to his room. She wanted to share her story with her sister about what happened to her today but she remained cold, never caring about her.

Ravel is a famous artist who is known to people with a gentle and kind male figure although sometimes cold. But they actually don't know, in the house the man was very cold and rude to his own biological sister. They used to be very close, but since then, Ravel has changed. He was always cold and rude to Ara.

\*\*\*

At his home, Karrel lay on his mattress as his eyes glared to the ceiling of his bedroom wall.

He recalled the incident today with the girl he had just met today. Sometimes the man smiles. Starting from the events in the cafeteria, the girl's debate with Ms. Sandra, to her ridiculous swearings. The strange, weak, timid girl, muttered involuntarily.

Karrel's smile changed with curiosity as he recalled the medicine the girl wanted to drink. Why is he carrying a sedative? he doesn't look like a depressed or sickly person. Karrel's daydream stopped because of an incoming call on his phone. Devin's name is clearly displayed on the call screen. He immediately lifted it.

"What's wrong?"

"Have you heard the news about our school?" ask Devin from across

"Md. I was still there when they attacked."

"Correct?" sounds Devin's worried tone.

"But you're not hurt, are you?"

"Well, I'm fine." nodded Karrel

"Yes, that's it." Devin hung up the phone unilaterally. Karrel just shook his head, sometimes the other friend was not clear as before. The man then put his phone on the nightstand and slept.

In the morning at school all the students in the school gathered in the hall room that was still intact as before. because it was located in the basement, so the hall was still neatly arranged. Unlike the other classroom whose glass-nut is smashed and everything is in a mess.

"I think we will be released because of this event, it is not" said Manda lazily.

Laras did not care about his best friend's response. He was busy arranging his hair as all the handsome upperclassmen from Class XII and Class XI gathered in the hall.

"Oh yeah, where the hell is Ara?" Manda stared at the entire hall room but had yet to see Ara's whereabouts.

tuh child is always late." timpal Laras stupid, not that he does not care about his best friend, but it is common that Ara has not seemed to wake up bad luck.

"Yes, but today is different. Ara entered the hall when the director again spoke." said Manda again.

"Just be calm, you know that Ara has many reasons." said Laras.

Not far from Laras and Manda, Karrel and his friends sat in the middle seat. I don't know why the man was wondering why Ara hadn't come yet. He knew the girl was fine last night, unless she was intending to be absent.

"For everyone." said the headmaster from the front of the stage. To his left stood all the teachers of the school.

"For paaaaaakkk." reply the students simultaneously.

The principal continued.

"You must have known about the attack that took place at our school last night." Everyone listened carefully.

"After being investigated by the police, it turns out that the culprit is a former student of this school who was expelled for attacking teachers. Of course this is detrimental to us all especially the school. But I hope you all don't have to panic because the police arrested them last night" explained the principal.

All the disciples clapped and breathed a sigh of relief.

"In light of the destruction of school property, you want me to.."

"Paak for!"

All the teachers and disciples stared at someone who suddenly appeared from behind the entrance of the hall. Almost all of the teachers took a tired breath when they saw who the girl was.

"That's right." whispered Manda to Laras from the middle of the hall.

The headmaster stopped his lecture for a moment and glanced at Ara.

"What time is this? why did you just come?" tanyanya firmly. He had known Ara for a long time because she was so stubborn and the teachers always told him about her.

From where Karrel was looking straight ahead at one point. His forehead is confused. Why does the girl's face look pale? He was sure last night was still fine, was it because of the cold?

"I came from earlier sir." replied Ara weakly while holding her stomach.

"Why come in now?"

"Sick stomach sir."

"Don't lie to you." The principal would no longer be fooled by the girl's lies.

"Kok looks this pretty in telling a liar anyway." Ara replied not to accept.

"Sir doesn't seem like Ara is lying, her face does look pale." whispered Mr. Ara's homeroom teacher. The principal just cleared his throat slowly.

"Yes, quickly find a chair and sit down" said the kesek finally in a firm voice. Ara's eyes twinkled with pleasure.

"Thank you, the captain who looks eleven and twelve is Valak." exclaimed the girl and quickly ran towards the seat of her friends.

"Pffttttt." All students including the teachers held back laughter. The sound of Ara's cry was very strong, only a sage would not be horrified.

"ARANAYA, IT HURTS STILL LIKE TO MAKE YOUR RIOT YES!" shouted the headmaster annoyed.

Ara raised her two fingers in the form of the letter V sign of peace and then hung five with her classmates who were sitting close together and then sat next to Laras.

"Ra, are you really sick to your stomach?" asked Adit the class leader to feel a little anxious. Ara shook her head then removed the pale-making lipstick from her lips and smiled happily, Adit and the others felt relieved as well.

"You're a habit." Manda's grumpy snapped his best friend's head slowly. Ara chuckles.

"A girl has a lot of wits." The star spoke from his seat while watching Ara's girl interacting with her friends.

Devin agreed to the Star's words, and Karrel only smiled small, so small that no one realized he was smiling.
