AURORA Dear

TIRED!

Aurora never thought that joining the HUT preparation committee meant being in a group with Reiga.  And he must admit if this is indeed his fault for not reading further the documents sent by Hajar after arguing about who is the representative.

All he knew, the document only contained a series of representative names of each class he did not care about. However, as he checked the document after getting angry this morning, Aurora regretted not reading it more thoroughly. Reiga's name was there, ten names below.

"Ara, come down baby. We're having dinner!"

For the sake of hearing the call of Bu Mirna—mama—Aurora immediately got up from her lying position.

"Yes Ma, just wait!" Aurora shouted back. Then he got out of the room and went up to Miss Mirna in the kitchen.

---🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟---

"Want Ara help?" Aurora volunteered when she saw Miss Mirna having a little trouble arranging the food on the table.

"No, you're sitting here." Miss Mirna refused.

Aurora nodded.

Mama can't be beat in a kitchen like this. The middle-aged woman's hand deftly picked up the vegetable in the pot and moved it in a large bowl, arranging the dishes, rice and other side dishes without any significant difficulty.

"Mama cook a lot," said Aurora when she saw more than five kinds of side dishes presented at the dining table. Though usually enough vegetables and chicken or tempeh.

Ms. Mirna paused for a moment, then continued to arrange the fried chicken on the serving plate. "You don't know yet, Ra? High School Mom wants to play here, all eat malems."

Aurora muttered O without a sound and nodded in understanding.

Shortly after Miss Mirna's sentence was finished, the sound of the door being knocked distracted them. Making Miss Mirna immediately take off the apron and hand it to Aurora, rushing towards the door.

"You put the scoop on it, Ra. Mama's gonna open the door first."

Aurora nodded, carrying out Miss Mirna's orders, arranging the spoons and forks side by side with the dishes. But, just getting to the fifth row, Bu Mirna's voice shifted her attention.

"These are Mama, Aunt Ira and Om Budi." Mirna introduce.

Aurora smiled back, greeting them.

"Your son is beautiful, Mir. Just like you were when you were young," praised Bu Ira as she stroked Aurora's head as the girl kissed her hand.

After a few minutes, a tall young man came crashing among them. Stopped for a moment the greeting of the two families.

"This is the key to his car, Pa," the young man said, handing over the key to the car with a cute pink rabbit to Mr. Budi.

"Oh yes, Ra. This is Mom's daughter. Her name is Reiga." Miss Mirna pulled the young man's arm slowly.

Aurora who was still looking down on Bu Ira was slightly jolted at the name, but soon convinced herself that there were millions of humans named Reiga. So, the Reiga her mother meant was definitely not the person she was imagining, was it?

Aurora straightened up, intending to greet the young man named Reiga with a sweet smile. But when the tall stature and annoying face of the young man was caught in his net, Aurora actually showed an expression of dislike.

"LO!" both shouted at the same time, surprised.

"WHAT'S THE MATTER HERE?" Reiga interrupted first.

"IT'S MY HOUSE, IT'S UP TO ME TO DO IT HERE!" Aurora retaliated fiercely. "I SHOULD HAVE ASKED, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?"

"GUE WAS INVITED, WHAT DO YOU WANT?"

"MA!" Aurora turned to the mother who looked at them confused with Reiga's parents. Not understanding the problems that occurred between Aurora and Reiga.

---🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟---

"So you know me?" Herman—ayah Aurora— asked in the middle of a dinner that had been dyed by a quarrel between Reiga and Aurora.

"NO!" They answered simultaneously.

While on the other side of the table, Miss Mirna and Ms. Ira bite their fingers because of the behavior of their children.

"Oh, jeng deh Jeng saw they compute that's the answer." Miss Mirna nudged Bu Ira's arm.

"Yes, Jeng. So they want to marry them. It must be funny," he agreed.

"MAMA!" The two protested against the plans of Bu Ira and Bu Mirna together. Making the two pairs of old men there chuckle.

"Kan, it fits them. The telepathy is strong." Miss Ira said again.

"Ara won't want Ma. Reiga Gini's model guy isn't Ara's type." Aurora refused quickly. Glancing towards Reiga who also glanced at him cynically. Ready to throw an oath if only his parents are not here.

"Who wants to be the same bar-bar chick as you!"

"What you said!"

"Bar-bar girl." Reiga. More assertive and emphasis in each word.

"What problem are you having exactly?" Mr. Herman asked curiously.

"THERE'S NOTHING." Again, both answered compactly. Then look at each other.

Aurora swerved towards Reiga. "Lo, don't follow me can't?!"

"Have a son!" Aurora exclaimed inadmissive.

Seeing the debate Reiga and Aurora never stop, Bu Ira took the initiative to prevent with questions. "Aurora knows Reiga?"

"Udah Tan." Aurora heavily admitted after being able to reject the fact that she did know Reiga. "One school also knows Reiga the big-time playboy who likes to change girls like changing clothes."

"You still like girls, don't you?" Mr. Budi asked with a probing look.

Reiga shook his head quickly. "Not Pa. You know, I am still single. They love me and I just act like a good friend. Counting more and more Pa, let alone girl friends."

Aurora grieves hearing Reiga's explanation. What did the young man just say? Act as a good friend? Increase female friends? It's nonsense.

"Don't believe Om, where there's no cement until the handrails, kiss there kiss here, hug again."

"Gadu continue! Wonder me, they are ordinary, why do you bother? Or maybe you like me?"

Aurora pointed to herself. "Gue?" Then he called Reiga. "Like the same lo? Idih, unclean mughaladzah."

"Oh, you have bad memories of playboy?" guess Reiga again.

Aurora sighed softly. "If so, why?" he said it was cold and left. Walk towards the garden next to the house, intending to calm down.

"Aahh, Reiga .. use leverage again. Aunt's son is sad, isn't he." Miss Mirna stared at Aurora's departure.

In her place, Reiga feels confused and .. guilty? But is there something wrong with his words?

"You follow me, apologize," Budi's orders are not good.

Reiga glared and shook his head. Refusing. "No, Pa. Lagian—"

"Then Aurora, Reiga Abimayu's son!" This time Ms. Ira said firmly, making Reiga again swallow a sentence of rejection that he would lay. It is scary to see the mother with a sharp gaze, especially to call her full name. Could have been killed on the spot if he protested again.

"Hn, I'm following up." Reiga got up from her seat, walking towards Aurora leaving earlier.

---🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟---

Reiga had a little trouble finding Aurora in the side garden. Not because of the size of the park, precisely because the young man did not find Aurora anywhere. The girl seemed to be lost to the earth after reaching this place. Reiga so thought, is there some kind of secret door that is connected to somewhere? But after checking, knocking him hoping to get a different sound, stomping him even to the point of shouting 'there's someone there?'. Reiga never found Aurora's scales.

In all, the park contains four mango trees, one large sapodilla tree that was thought to be haunted and its inhabitants kidnapped Aurora, a sandbox four times three meters under the sapodilla tree, one garden bench, one tree house on a sapodilla tree, and one large whiteboard attached to the wall. But even in this alley Reiga still never found Aurora.

A moment before turning around, Reiga looked at the tree house closer. The place where the tree is outside the reach of the garden lights that make it a little. Dark and faint visible.

"The hanging, the kayaking of the feet." Reiga squinted his eyes, looking more closely. "Eh, really feet. Whose feet but? Tree dwellers? Kunti ma'am?! Firakirullah, Mama!" Reiga shouted, intending to leave but his body froze when he heard a giggling sound coming from the tree house.

Reiga panicked on the spot, sweat pouring down his temples and back. His heart was pounding and his legs were trembling.  Especially when wrapped around the silhouette of someone plunging from the tree house. It's getting shaky.

"Oh God! Forgive your handsome servant, O God! Salallahu 'ala Syaidinna Muhammad! Allah Akbar! Astagfirullah, raise his voice!"

The more Reiga cried out in panic, the closer he got. Made the young man in the fog in his residence. Reading the verse of the chair was considered useless, the demon who faced him was probably very strong.

"Astagfirullah, Mama! Help Reiga, Ma!" Reiga closed his eyes, not daring to look at the figure who was walking towards him with a ramhut scattered in front of his face. "Ouch! Just go! I'm afraid, my legs are so limp! Just go! Don't bother me! I'm a good boy!  Diligent saving and worship! Napa's oath is getting closer!"

"HAHAHAH! SWEAR YOUR FACE TO KOMUK ABIS! HAHAHA!"

Aurora, the girl was blown away looking at Reiga's already unscented face. His face pias, afraid and sweaty fur as big as corn adds to his clarity. Though he only intended to punish Reiga, he did not expect that the young man's reaction to be like this.

"Subarin to your fans is great! Can't wait to see their reaction .. hahaha!"

Reiga growling. Almost exclaimed in anger but his feet rushed to the ground. The young man lost his entire calm in just a few minutes.

"Hp Lo here! Reiga shouted, a trembling voice holding back the rest of the fear.

"Did, who are you?" Aurora replies no matter. Leaving Reiga who was still sitting limp.

"Basic gi—"

"Gue hasn't photographed anything yet" he said. "I'm matiin' HP." Aurora shows her phone that remains dead even though the power button is pressed. Then extend a hand. "Build up, I'm kayak kembel aja lesehan on the ground."

Reiga was stunned to see the good side Aurora showed him. Grabbing the girl's hand and patting her dirty pants.

"Thanks" said Reiga stiffly.

Aurora waved her right hand. Then walk first.

For a moment continued to stare at the back of Aurora who was walking away from him. Smiling silently considering the incident a few minutes ago. For some reason, Aurora looks beautiful when showing her caring side.

"Well, what do I think? Just been helped once." Reiga muttered inexplicably.

"Cepet in! So the street guys don't letoy."  Aurora shouted before entering the house.

Reiga exhaled with regret for praising Aurora. "Once a lion is a lion. Want to be a cat any sweet will be fierce," grumbled Reiga. Walk quickly after Aurora and continue the dinner that was delayed.
