Arinda, First Love

Gathering

Arin was looking at his cell phone that he had just activated after 2 days he did not touch. Several times he opened his contacts and searched for Satria's name to contact him but Arin was still hesitant so as to undo his intentions.

And suddenly his phone rings with the name of Satria who appears as his caller. Arin froze for a moment hesitating to pick him up but he re-thought what Raka said.

Finally Arin received the call and across the phone there Satria smiled with relief because Arin wanted to talk to her.

"Hello, Arin."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Can we meet?"

"All right."

"really? Do you really want me to rin? "

"Hem."

"I'm picking you up now? "

"No, we'll see you at the regular park."

"Oh, yeah, I'm here in 30 minutes."

"Yes." Yeah."

That's how they talk on the phone. Although Arin spoke very briefly, Satria was very happy. Because at least Arin was willing to meet him. He was even more excited and intended to tell the truth that Arin had never known.

Because all this time he had not been able to explain the true events about Fina. At least Arin should know, if he never betrayed her when they were still together.

All this happened long before they were in a relationship. Although it could not justify what he had done, at least he did not want Arin to hate him for considering him a traitor.

At home, Arin looks neat. He went down and immediately looked for Raka to take him to meet Satria. He could not calm down if he went alone to meet Satria.

"Bu, where's Raka? "

"Raka in front of the same father again coffee."

"Oh yeah already, Arin ahead first. "

"Darling, where are you going? " ask mom.

"I want to go out for a while ma'am, just walk so it's not okay to." said Arin forced to lie.

Because of course his mother would not have allowed him if he had told the truth.

"Yes, you be careful then." mother's message.

Arin moves to the front yard of his house looking for Raka and his father who are engaged in exciting conversations.

"dad." call Arin

"Eh, my son is beautiful?"

"Dad, shame on Raka."

"Why are you ashamed? You are my father's favorite son."

"Dad, it's ah."

Father and Raka laughed happily teasing Arin who could only smile wryly.

"By the way, where are you going at this hour so neat, so pretty? " ask me seriously.

"I want to walk for a while and get out, can't you?" ask Arin.

Dad looked at Raka with a smile.

"By honey, you're in between Raka right but?“ ask dad.

" Dong, Raka's time I live." replied Arin.

They both say goodbye to my father before finally leaving in Raka's car.

"Where are we going, Rin?"

"Meet Satria. You walk straight, I'll show you the way."

It was not until 15 minutes that they finally arrived at the destination.

"You just wait here, I'm not long" Arin said as he removed his seatbelt.

"Are you sure I don't need to be with you?" tanya Raka made sure.

"No, you just wait."

"Yes, you have nothing to call me right away" said Raka while holding Arin's hand.

"Yes, I'll go first."

Arin sighed long enough before finally stepping into the garden area. This is the same park, where 2 days ago he met Satria.

Satria was seen sitting on a park bench indicating he had arrived first. From afar he waved his hand while smilingly looking at Arin.

Arin was stunned for a while while looking at Satria with an illegible look. Suddenly the Satria he saw transformed into the young Satria he once loved 8 years ago.

then there was the sound of a girl calling Satria by running towards Satria there. Satria gave the girl a large white teddy bear and a few roses.

It was his memory when they celebrated their 1st anniversary of dating. The girl seemed to smile brightly and looked very happy with what Satria gave her.

And that girl was herself in the past. Arinda also regained consciousness when Satria touched her hand. Satria called Arin, but Arin just kept staring at her blankly.

Because of fear Satria also approached Arin and tried to resuscitate Arin from his daydream. Arin also reflexively pulls his hand avoiding the touch of Satria.

"I'm sorry, I'm just worried about you from the last day I keep calling." Satria said sincerely.

"Yes, that's okay." replied Arin a little indifferently.

"Yes we've been there yuk, so it's good that we can talk while sitting." Satria asked but Arin did not seem to move in the slightest.

"We are looking for another place" Arin said as he stepped ahead of Satria.

After walking a few meters they finally found a comfortable place. Arin and Satria took a sitting position next to each other but Arin kept the distance between them.

Suddenly awkward atmosphere, the two of them both did not know where to start. Until finally Satria took steps to ventured to speak first.

"I'm sorry about the last incident" Satria said.

"Forget about it, I came here to listen to your explanation that I never wanted to hear for 8 years. I'll give you a chance to explain everything."

"Thank you." said Satria was pleased.

"There are 3 things I want to explain to you. And I hope you can just listen to me this time. I swear, there was not the slightest lie in all my words this time. "

"All right, just for now. This is the first and last time I'll hear your explanation."

Satria also tried to take a deep breath before explaining all the truths that he had not been able to explain to Arin.

"8 years ago, when Fina came to you pregnant it was a lie." Satria made Arin flinch.

"No way, Satria. Don't you ever try to lie to me again." said Arin full of emotion with all his might he tried not to let tears escape his cheeks.

"Please beat me to the end, don't talk until I'm done. Please listen to my explanation first, please." said Satria while holding both arms and staring into his eyes made Arin again speechless.

"First of all, I've never betrayed you even once in our nearly 2-year relationship. I never impregnated Fina when I was with you." explained Satria with a trembling voice restraining her own emotions.

"Lying." said Arinda, shaking her head in disbelief.

"Secondly, I did impregnate Fina. I admit it in front of you right now. But that didn't happen after we got in touch.

You remember when I was in 3rd grade and suddenly me and Fina decided to move schools? I accidentally impregnated Fina, because Fina trapped me with a drink. I never betrayed you once." obviously Satria again tightened her grip on Arin's arm with tears that had started to escape from both eyes.

"And the third, I never intended to lie to you about Arslan who was actually my own son. But, I'm afraid that you can't accept my past when you know it all. I'm too afraid you're leaving me."

"I'm sorry rin, I'm sorry I hid my past from you. I'm really sorry. I did hide the truth about Arslan but I never betrayed you" said Satria who had now rested before Arin in tears.

While Arin is very shocked to hear the truth that Satria has been hiding. He did not know what he had to feel at that moment, he could not even speak any words and could only cry withstanding the tightness in his chest.

All the things that Satria revealed were so difficult for her to accept. He himself had been guilty of never wanting to hear Satria's explanation all along and continued to avoid it.

But on the other hand he was also so disappointed to hear the truth if Satria had really had a child from Fina. Arin had been tormented with all of that for years, but it turned out to be only half the truth he knew.

Slowly, Arin's two hands moved touching the head of Satria, leaning on both thighs, crying. Satria got up and they embraced for the first time in 8 years.

They both shed all their feelings at that moment.
