Beautiful In Dark

17. Hand Stretch

Do not like to keep the problem alone if you want the problem to be solved immediately

---

Since the incident they shared, Darka and Lita became closer.

At rest, several times the two seemed to be together. Being on the roof of the school, releasing fatigue after attending lessons.

Darka with his dime story successfully made Lita occasionally smile. The girl's lips were no longer as stiff as usual. But still, the look and facial expression of the girl was indeed already innately flat could not be changed.

They spend more time at night. In the minimarket, accompanied by pop noodles and cold mineral water, they spend more time. Darka had already memorized when the girl would come and what time she would be home. As much as possible Darka came early so that he would provide pop noodles for the girl.

Darka also memorized when Lita went to work. As much as possible the young man will come to pick up Lita and deliver her to work. As much as possible, Lita also refused Darka's offer because it was troublesome.

“Udahlah, Dar. Lo gausah had already sent me,” said Lita standing next to Darka's motorbike, who picked her up that night to leave for work.

“Yeah relax aja napa, Jel.” Darka patted the back of the bike slowly, while holding out the helmet to Lita. “Buruan entar lo late work.”

Lita snarled, pulling the helmet strong from Darka's hand. He climbed in a male sitting position. “After I payday, I pay my debt.”

“That's what?” darka asked frowning behind her helmet.

“Yes, this. Gasoline motor, pop noodles, same drinking water.”

“Ish, you tuh, yes,” growled Darka. “Kan I said no need.”

“But kan—”

“Udah diem. I want to speed,” said the guy while turning on the engine motor.

Lita glares. “Do not macem-macem lo,” he said giving warning.

“Iye-iye. Free speeding, still can not handle my ama right?” tanya Darka teases. Lita only glared, lazily responding to the speech of the handsome young man.

***

Lita looked at their co-workers one by one in confusion. They'll be working another hour and a half. They should have started to dress up as ghosts, why they had not prepared as well.

“Eh, Lita has come.” Gio turned around, fixing the collar of his light blue shirt while smiling at Lita.

“Lit, hunting ready,” chirped Anna from the reflection of the mirror, her hands busy wearing powder on her face.

“We don't work today?” tanya Lita still did not understand the situation she saw.

“Again.” Bagas came out of nowhere suddenly making a sound. “We're today off.”

“Kok is?” lita's tone of voice sounded a little sewot, do not accept if today does not work. He might not be paid if he missed one day of work. Even though the working day at this place is also only twice a week.

“You are treated to nyai ronggeng. One month this place. More to thank you anyway, our workplace is quite rame,” said Dara called Mia the owner of this place by the name “nyai ronggeng”, Dara said, trying to pluck his hair that he had tried earlier but still looked messy.

“Nih parfuman first let it smell,” said Gio brought a perfume bottle and then sprayed the perfume all over Lita's body. Lita wiggled her hands so helpless of the scent of perfume that was too stinging.

“Jahil bangit dah si Gio,” sahut Ana laughs. Then I looked at Lita. “Udah, Lit. Prepare first. We are leaving soon.”

Lita walked straight to the dresser. Now the girl decorated herself to make her face look better.

“Lit, don't forget the guy brought in huh. Kasian idle outside.”

“GIO HAS BEEN DEH.”

****

“So you guys don't work today?”

Lita shook her head, “Please first one day, tomorrow ya work again.” He said while getting off the bike.

Darka's mouth forms the letter O without sound. He understood what the girl meant. Darka took off the helmet, ruffled his hair. Then walk beside Lita, entering the dining place that Mia told them.

They went separately. Mia drives her car along with Gio, Dara, and Ana, while Bagas and Siska ride the bike together because Bagas does not want to ride the bike alone without a splint. Gio wants to be Bagas' friend but the Bagas won't. Afraid to say homo same people because if Gio ride the motor likes to bend the waist carrying the motor.

“That's so great lo gas ama me. Said elo I was your most loyal girlfriend,” said Gio full of drama.

Everyone laughed except Bagas and Lita.

Lita just smiled in line. It's mundane.

“Diem lo, tai.” Bagas said annoyedly. Siska sat next to him patting the guy on the back.

“Makanya, gas. Find a girlfriend there.” Sahut Ana just returned after ordering their food.

“Newly severed him. Heartshaker effect is still strong.” Answer Gio origin.

“Heartbreaking time mean lo.” said Dara chimed.

“Masa?” gio asked confusedly.

“Au dah males me.” Siska patted the young man on the back. Mia just shook her little head hearing the debate of her men.

Darka just contributed a laugh. Understandably, all of these are not very familiar to Darka. Darka also has to keep the image. It is as if this is where Darka will get recognition as a handsome and calm guy. So.

“Lah, Darka. How about diem-diem?” ask Mia to Darka. Darka immediately scratched his neck in the wrong manner.

“Why already? Tightness Lita so quiet rowdy yak?” chirps Gio, making Lita immediately glare.

“Mampus dipelotokin Lita.” Dara pointed at the face of Lita who was staring at Gio ferociously. Lita immediately changed her facial expression, then shook her head in evasive manner.

“Ampun nyai, geez.” Gio looked down at Lita a few times. Although often berpahili Lita, Gio still afraid if the girl put her fierce face.

“Darka gaahusah angkatkan us. We are all well.” Ana said, looking no limit to Darka.

“Iya, sis. Relax,” replied Darka. Ana is four years older than Darka. To be exact, older than all of them except Mia.

After nearly thirty minutes of waiting, their order arrived. Bagas and Gio were already excited to take their ordered chicken noodle bowl from the servant's brother. Directly placed in front of them that should be passed first to the person who sits at the end.

“Goodbye,” said Siska sonorous after pecking because the order was late coming.

All did not respond because they were starving.

“That chat with you fitting us again working who?”

Dara's question suddenly made Lita surprised in her silence. Darka raised an eyebrow, watching Lita who had silenced a thousand languages.

“Not it Darka huh?” sahut Siska who at that time the actual position was a bit far from Dara and also Lita.

“Not.” Now it's Ana's turn to be upset.

“That was higher than Darka, tau.”

Lita wet her lips, then ventured to answer. “That's it I.”

Gio scratching his temple, “You're enemies huh? When I saw him you were so cynical, Lit.”

Darka cengo, did not understand who they were talking about. The feeling of the boy friend that Lita had was just Darka, nothing else.

“Udah already,” said Mia mediates. “See Lita's face is up you ask around. He's so confused right.”

Mia looked at Lita with a smile, feeling understood that Lita did not like to be questioned. “Udah, you continue to eat it. Difficult to answer their questions.”

Lita nodded small. His soul seemed to lighten after Mia closed the question posed by her co-worker.

While Darka only watched with calm. However, it turns out to be curious as to who the person in question is.

***

Darka folded his arms around his chest, noticing that Lita in front of him was sitting quietly after picking up a canned drink from the refrigerator. The two decided to stop by the minimarket for a while because this was not yet the time they returned home—that is eleven o'clock at night.

There's at least an hour left to have fun.

They both have no interest in eating pop noodles. Her stomach was already quite full with Mia's treat earlier.

Be the only one taken two canned drinks.

“So, who do they mean?”

The girl raised one eyebrow. “What?”

“Cowok high who met lo fitting again work.”

“Nobody," replied Lita cuek, her hands busy opening the lid of the cold drink can.

“Say what will be the story,” quipped the young man. “The edges of the main secrets are also.”

“Past free, Darka.”

Darka clucked, staring at the girl with his flat face. “Payment sampe can not answer.”

“Or don't-don't, it's former lo ya?” ask Darka to guess.

Lita grumbled violently, her face now looked frustrated. After all, why did they mention Abra in front of Darka?

What do you think Lita should do?

Even if it's honest about Abra, Darka might stay away. Because there's a terrible story going on between him and his ex-girlfriend.

“Silent means, yes.” Darka smiled obliquely, picked up his canned drink and opened casually. Ignoring Lita who was already glaring at him sharply.

“Emang my ex,” said Lita slowly.

“Name Abra.”

“Ooohhh...” Darka silent for a moment, l. “Yang his name was intentionally mistaken it.”

Lita swearing. Clasping tightly onto the canned drink in his hand, refrained from throwing it at Darka's handsome face.

Darka laughed softly. “Kanda, njir.”

"Not funny."

“Kok can break anyway?”

Lita wet her lower lip, put the canned drink and justify her sitting position to make it look a little more comfortable.

“There was a terrible event happening,” Lita started telling stories. He breathed a heavy sigh, then continued. “Gue broke up with him because he already has another girl.”

Darka's face turned into a shocked person. His mouth was in disbelief.

“Emang I do not accept diputusin. But, there was an incident where I broke into a trance and nyamperin Abra to his class. From the story of the class boy I know, it turns out that I was angry I did not accept Abra's decision. I rubbed Abra's neck and wound her neck because of my fingernails. Some of my misahin people, then I passed out. I don't know what the next thing is. But those who see, it has fed me crazy and wrong ”

Darka listened so seriously. Her ears were trying to catch everything Lita told her.

“When I woke up, there was one ghost that I kept seeing. He cried and said thank you because I was willing to enter his spirit. Though I did not know that my body is actually easy to enter the same spirit, because I was frustrated at that time.”

Liya shuddered in horror as she imagined it. “He used to love Abra. Abranya refused him constantly. Starting her sick until she's gone, Abra never saw her at all.”

Since then, Abra has decided to change schools. Before moving on, he was spying on me, spreading rumors I got to people seeing me strangely. After that my life feels like hell in school.”

Darka frowned, daring to open his voice. “Why don't you go to the real Abra?”

“Hah,” Lita wastes rough breathing.

“Do not clearin. By the way he was yesterday very ketus to me,” nagging the girl.

“But if he hins he mistakenly thinks same mulu lo,” comments Darka. “Gini aja, I will help you finish your business with the abracadabra.”

“How?”

“Entar I thought,” replied Darka full of confidence.

Then, Lita simply stared at Darka stunned. Just saying such a sentence, Lita was instantly convinced that Darka could help her.

While Darka smiled indistinctly, already knowing what he was going to do.
