ARETTAS

CITY B

Flashback off

Aretta returns to town B by public transport. After saying goodbye to his mother early this morning, he hurried away from his native land. Although very heavy, but it must be lived. For the mother who always tries hard in front of him.

Her memory of Karin's treatment of almost matching her, came back to mind. "If only I had been here longer, surely Karin would have been more eager to match up with the man of her choice" Aretta muttered to herself.

And so on all the way to town B. Starting from his childhood memories, to his teenage life, everything one by one flashed through Aretta's mind. Until he reached the town of B, where he worked.

Aretta got down from the car that took her from the city of A, she stood on the edge of the shophouse and was about to find an ojek to take her to the boarding house. Because the distance where he got down from the car he was riding was with a cost, quite far. About thirty minutes on a motorcycle.

But immediately he looked surprised, when he saw a motorbike with a stranger was right in front of him.

"Leo???!!!" Aretta asked with a face full of confusion.

"Why did I see that until I glared? A handsome guy, me?" With a wily smile Leo spoke.

"Currently, narcissistic disease is still not good for anyone!" Aretta swears annoyed.

"Where do you know I'm here?" Aretta asked and was still confused.

A few moments before

Del, I'm OTW now. At most in three hours. I can work tomorrow.

Aretta's message was sent to her manager and best friend.

Della who knows about it soon tells Leo who is very worried about Aretta. How not, even when Aretta's grandmother dies, Leo almost every hour terrorizes Della by phone and text. If only Della gave the full address of Aretta's house in town A, of course Leo would soon follow him. But what is the power of Della who does not know.

"Where are you?" Della said as soon as the person across the street raised his phone.

"Home on. Any word from Aretta?" Leo answered the phone enthusiastically.

"Now he's on his way here, three more hours nyampe. You pick me up at the bus stop?"

Without waiting for Della to finish with her speech, Leo rushes to turn off her phone and departs for the place Della mentioned.

At the bus stop

"Not much work! Riding up!" Leo said without answering Aretta's question.

"Basic weird guy! It's always like this!" Aretta muttered in annoyance.

"Gue ride the ojek!" Said Aretta who was still on her feet.

Leo got off his bike, he brought himself closer to Aretta to make Aretta retreat and finally cornered at the end of the shophouse wall. Fortunately the shophouse was closed, so no one saw the incident.

Leo placed both hands on the wall to make their distance closer. Aretta just stared at Leo's face which was endlessly looking at her.

"You wanna ride yourself to my bike, or am I forced?!" Said Leo who at that time the distance between their faces was only a few inches. In fact, Aretta could smell her scent.

"Gue ride!" Said Aretta who took the gap between leo's arms, and rushed closer to Leo's motor.

Leo, who saw the silliness, could only smile bitterly. He immediately launched his motorbike at high speed. Moreover, if you want to get a hug from Aretta.

Aretta could only hug Leo without asking much. Because he knew, later also Leo will tell him to hug his waist.

Instantly his thoughts would be the death of his grandmother and the treatment of Karin who wanted to match him, came back to pass. He could not control the tears that had been held back as much as possible. Aretta buried her head on Leo's back, letting the clear feathers that had fallen from her eyelids wet the jacket Leo was wearing. He also further tightened his coiled hands on Leo's waist. It was as if it needed a shoulder to lean on.

He also rubbed gently on the back of Aretta's hand that was tightly coiled around her waist.

The motorbike driven by Leo had stopped right in front of Aretta's boarding room. But Aretta has not yet removed her hand from Leo. Leo just let it go. The atmosphere in the atmosphere at the time was quiet, because the residents worked all. Only Aretta and Leo have just arrived.

"Succeeded inside just bend me!" Leo said with a sly smile.

Aretta who realized Leo's words immediately realized from her daydream, she released her hand that had been circular at Leo's waist. He got off Leo's bike.

"Thank you Leo!" Aretta said as she hoped Leo would leave the boarding soon.

"Together!" Said Leo without moving a bit from his position.

"Eh, wait a minute! Lo cry? Your eyes are so big!" Leo got off his bike, he stood in front of Aretta while raising Aretta's face with both hands.

"Gue ain't pa-pa." Said Aretta about to walk from her place.

"Lo lied!"

"Gue ain't pa-pa!" Aretta started raising her voice.

Leo hugged Aretta.

"Gue ain't pa-pa Leo, I ain't pa-pa!" Say it over and over again by lightly hitting Leo's chest that field.

His cry broke again, even his power to hit Leo was exhausted. He lets himself cry in Leo's arms.

"Lo can cry as much, Are!" Leo gently rubbed Aretta's head in his arms.

Aretta is becoming more and more, the emotion she had been holding back, is now overflowing.

Finally, after feeling his emotions had been channeled, Aretta released Leo's embrace.

"Gue go in first, you want me to make some coffee?" Aretta rubbed her rough eyes that were still standing in front of Leo.

"Yes, I can't possibly leave you in this state!"

Aretta rushes to the door and makes a cup of black coffee at Leo's request.

Leo sat on the terrace of the boarding Aretta with a cup of coffee in front of him. Aretta sat next to Leo. They both face the main house. No conversation for a while.

"Is there anything I should know, other than your grandmother's departure?" Leo said by confirming his sitting position. Now they are sitting facing each other.

At first Aretta hesitates to tell her about her matchmaking with Ken. But not with his little heart that kept rebelling.

"Well, whatever I can be! I'll always be ready for you." Leo tried to convince her by holding Aretta's hand.

Aretta's heart was made by Leo's treatment which always surprised her. Even this time, Aretta was unable to just look Leo in the eye.

"Gue wants to know what a burden Lo!!! And I'll try to lighten it as much as I can!" Leo lifted Aretta's chin and stared intently at the girl's eyes.

Always leave his mark, kakaa. . .😍😍😍
