Beautiful In Dark

11. Always Be on the Same Side

Even the best people in the world have secrets of their own

---

"Abra?"

Lita stared in disbelief. Why did he have to meet Abra in the current state? How humiliating! Lita was almost at a loss for words.

"Who-why are you here?"

"Isn't that supposed to be my question?" Abra grunting. He looked at Lita from head to toe, silently laughing at Lita's ghost costume. Abra could barely even recognize him. "From then until now, you were just a weird girl."

Lita's dead red face restrained her embarrassment and emotions, but she couldn't do anything.

"Why, Bra? You know the ghost?" A beautiful girl who had previously screamed the loudest approached Abra. He even openly held Abra's arm in front of Lita because he was still afraid.

"No. I don't know."

Abra's reply left Lita stunned. Lita clenched her hands tightly to hold herself back. His head was bowed, but Lita was able to catch a glimpse of Abra's hardened facial lines.

"And I don't think we should see each other again."

Abra looked at Lita with a piercingly sharp eye of lightning. The man actually showed his hatred for Lita and blamed her for the past events. He took one step closer, leaving the girl holding his arm with a puzzled face.

"I've got my new perfect life now, Jelita." Abra whispered in an intimidating tone. "After you destroy everything, I can be in my happy point again, I've changed schools, I'm back to being the old Abra, and you see the girl?"

Lita glanced hesitantly at the girl standing behind Abra.

"She's the girl I'm going to protect in case you dare to disturb her as you disturbed my life before. So," Abra clenched her teeth. "Never show your face in front of me again."

Lita turns her back on the threat coming out of Abra's mouth, a young man she once admired more than anyone before this power destroyed their relationship. Lita's eyes heated up, the girl held back anything trying to get out of there with all her might.

"Abra?"

The girl pulled Abra. "Why?"

Abra just smiled and shook his head. He embraced the girl and glanced at Lita with a sharp gaze once more before actually leaving with his group who were staring at Lita with strange looks.

After Abra's departure, Lita's tears melted. Lita seems to be torn apart by the attitude of Abra who still blames her for past events, which even Lita has no intention to destroy anything.

-

Lita looked at his hand, lamenting his strength which had already made all a mess. He hates himself again.

-

Lita walked along the corridor while bowing her head. Abra's words still imprint on Lita's memory.

"Jel! Jellies! Okky Jeli drinks!"

Lita sighed, recognizing the voice. Who else if not Darka Samudra. But Lita now did not want to respond to Darka. The girl just passed by. His eyes stared blankly, sinking back into his own world.

"Well, yeah, go after Ka!" sanggol Sandi's. Darka immediately equalled Lita's move.

"Jeli, am I too handsome until you can't stand my clay?" Darka put on a handsome face with great confidence.

Lita is still walking, unaware of Darka's presence walking after her.

"Lita?"

Darka waved his hand in front of Lita's face until Lita stopped and turned her head.

"Abra?"

"Huh Abra?"

Lita blinked her eyes then realized that the young man in front of her was not Abra, but Darka.

"Sorri," Lita patted her forehead and walked past Darka

Darka looked at Lita who was walking with careless steps while bowing her gaze. Something's wrong with Lita. The girl looked sad today. Damn, Darka can't be made curious. He would rather not like it if it turned out to make Lita moody.

"Why did Lita go?" The son approached first.

"Who knows who Abra is?"

Anwar immediately looked at Sandi and Putra. Darka glanced at the three who seemed to know something.

-

While Lita stared at the paper bag in her hand. The paper bag contained Tia's clothes which she borrowed while going to her birthday party. He intends to return it now.

Lita walks towards Tia's class first. A few eyes stared at him. But Lita tries to focus on her goal of finding Tia.

"Lita!"

Tia waved her hand as soon as she saw Lita. He immediately approached Lita and glanced at the paper bag in Lita's hand.

Lita nodded. "Thanks is a minjemin."

Tia smiled and picked up her paper bag. "But not behind it is also gapapa."

"Si Tia very good yes want to minjemin clothes to Lita. Why try?"

"We're weird."

"Tia what the hell?"

Tia glared at her friends who immediately locked their mouths. "Don't be horrified huh, Lit." Tia painted a thin smile. "Gue go back first." Tia waved her hand.

Lita felt Tia's smile contracting on her. The girl smiled and waved her hand.

Grace, one of Tia's friends is offended by Tia's sudden attitude towards her. He snarled at Lita.

"Gue has an idea."

Rena, who had been standing next to Grace, stared in confusion. "What the hell is Grace? Uh lo ngapa-"

Rena gaped as Grace walked towards the classroom door and grabbed Lita's walking foot.

BRUK! Lita fell in front of many people. Grace laughed first.

"Ups, sorri, I didn't accidentally."

Laughter with a strange look. Lita looked down even further, deja vu came to her, she came back to the incident last night when Abra and his group looked at her with a view as if Lita was a 'strange girl.'

"Grace what the hell lo?!" Tia walked running towards Lita and helped the girl stand up.

Grace frowned. Tia should have liked this scene, but she was helping Lita instead.

"Come, Lita. I-i-"

"Soge away."

Tia stop. He looked at Darka who suddenly came and put away Tia's hand. The young man immediately carried the surprised Lita.

"DARKA WOY PUT ME DOWN!"

"Whispering. They should know how to treat a girl as valuable as you."

Darka clenched his lips, silently grinding his teeth because he was upset. She knows Grace deliberately scuttle Lita's feet to humiliate her.

Lita looked down embarrassed, hiding her head on Darka's chest. While Darka did not want to listen to Lita this time. It went down the stairs to the UKS, passing by many people who were frenzied along the corridor.

Darka opened the UKS door with his elbow and bowed Lita on one of the mattresses.

"Darka what the hell, I'm gapapa!"

"Lo is not hurt in the physical, but here," Darka pointed to his chest. "Let's heart be nothing, Jelita!"

Lita frowned. Darka looked at Lita after goal, recalling what Anwar, Sandi, and Putra had told him about Lita and Abra.

"Abra was once a waketos here, but she moved on. Even though it's so pinter, it could be waketos."

"Maybe you don't know because at that time you were on strike at school, right? But Abra was also Lita's ex."

"Son knows a lot, it used to be the same deket Abra."

"Gue actually does not know much because it is not that fast. But Abra says Lita always neror him because she can't accept him breaking up with Abra. But I don't think Lita is that rich."

"Gue thought so too, Ka. Just focus on Lita now. We don't know the truth."

"That's how many people can get his mouth straightened Lita-Abra."

"Cih, Abra has also been a lot of people who do not like it. Okay, but he's a tough kid."

"Just for now what you need is rest, Jeli." Darka smiled soothingly. "Gue don't know what really happened, but all you need to know is that I'm always on your side."

Lita tried to refrain from showing her weak side. Darka had seen too much, but why did the young man not leave and instead remain on his side?

The girl in the end just nodded. Darka felt anxious to hold Lita's hand, but was afraid if Lita fainted.

Darka lets Lita lie on the UKS bed. He tried to convince Lita, occasionally truant will not harm him.

The young man stared softly at Lita who was slowly falling asleep.

"Sleep, Jeli, don't think about what people say who can only see from one side."

Damn, Darka is getting late on Lita's other side and the more Darka knows, the less he wants Lita to fall.
