Beautiful Monty, Conqueror of the Heart
Episode 16 Sarah's Thinking
After a while the car driven by Arlan can already move, along with dozens of other vehicles. The traffic police who came later, immediately broke the traffic jam. The black can move smoothly after having been stalled at some point. Arin turned his head to the left, after the car passed through the crowd of people.
“What's up?” Arlan asked with eyes that remained focused forward.
“No idea, maybe an accident, but it doesn't seem serious.” Arin replied doubtfully.
“Aish don't see!” Arlan's orders in a half-high tone, he shuddered in horror. Arin folded his lips, reflexively turning his head forward. Arin was more surprised by Arlan's reaction than the view outside the window. The atmosphere in the car was back.
Two minutes into silence, Arin remembered something, hastily he took the phone in the bag, which was placed on his lap. The breath sounded so heavy as he leaned his back against the back of the chair.
“Why?” Asked Arlan while looking to the side, after that refocused looking forward.
“Eh.. lgga there is nothing..” replied Arin stammeredly.
But Arlan does not necessarily believe, the way Arin looks at him like a person who is asking for help and if remembered again Arin's face has looked moody since he approached him on the roadside earlier. Maybe he was facing a bigger problem than just a photo session, he thought.
Arlan rubbed my head while glancing sideways timidly, he slightly changed the sitting position that had been leaning on the back of the chair into an upright position before asking again, “It looks like there's something you want to ask?”
Arin was silent for a moment, then said, “Emmm Brother Arlan, is Sarah okay? He hesitated with the hand that held the phone tightly in his lap.
“Sarah? Why don't you guys say hello to each other?”
Arin nodded.
“No reason?” A crease formed on the forehead, as the sentence slid from Arlan's mouth.
And again Arin nodded, in response to Arlan's question.
“Aaaa... quite complicated it turns out, lately Sarah is busy like,” he said with stammering, Arlan's eyeball moves upwards like a little remembering, “apa ya… there are activities of OSEK if it is not wrong to say it, yesterday he went home after the magrib. OSEK is a lot of activity yes,” he continued again with a small laugh followed, but his laughter slowly faded when he saw his interlocutor who had no response. The depressed atmosphere makes it difficult for Arin to smile as thin as it is, even for the awkward smile that is often displayed when facing Arlan.
“But Sarah avoided me for a reason, it seems I was wrong, but did not know what was wrong..”.
“Or maybe he's teasing you. I think things like this are common among close friends, do not be too burdened.”
Arin nodded weakly, but even so his brain was still crowded with many questions and worries. For two weeks now they have not met, tried to connect via electronic devices could not help, Sarah completely ignored the WA chat to her phone. Thought Arin if she couldn't meet because
busy as Arlan said and no problem whatsoever, at least Sarah wants to talk to him by phone to explain what is going on, not suddenly disappear without a trace like this. It occurred to Arlan to ask for help only he did not dare, but he needed a third party that can bridge the communication between him and Sarah.
“Arin about Sarah do not worry too much, maybe she is just busy,” said Arlan when both of them have arrived at the shooting location mentioned Fara on the phone, “just focus on your work.” Arlan's reflexes raised up to touch Arin's head, making Arin's eyes immediately blinked, shocked also by Arlan's spontaneous response to him, but he just silently pecked, his body seemed to become stiff so that the burly hand was now rubbing his head gently. Realizing that he had made a mistake, Arlan quickly pulled the hand that was still holding on to the girl's head while clearing her throat.
“Why are you still here? Quickly enter, time is money,” said Arlan in a cynical tone while making money symbols with his hands excessively.
For a few seconds, Arin was in the clouds and regained consciousness after Arlan's words that made him move away with tight footsteps, he said, until his body more quickly disappeared from the view of the man who was still at home looking at the back that slowly could not be seen anymore. Despite looking rushed, Arin still had time to thank him for giving him a ride. Actually he was also very grateful for Arlan's words that were able to make him calmer even though there were still things that stuck up, only he hesitated to say thank you for one thing, recalling at the end of his speech Arlan did an act that made his face red.
In line with the loss of Arin's figure in front of him, Arlan re-entered the car. Sitting limp with one hand holding tightly to the steering wheel while the other hand clenched in the air. Every now and then his gaze focused on the palm that was a short distance away from his face, the hand that boldly touched Arin's hair. Until this second still felt the sensation, and the surprised face Arin...“Ah.... why with me?” Arlan complains and then hits his right hand while saying, “ is not polite!”
Elsewhere, Arin, leaning against the wall, looks at the screen of her phone that looks lit, her eyes continue to be fixed on the chat page ‘W’ between herself and Sarah who looks quiet, and her eyes are still open, there is only one message that has not been read Sarah, although it looks check mark two messages sent.
There was a slow breath, recalling his relationship with
Sarah made another name cross her head.
For a moment Arin repeated his various encounters with Arlan, and today he felt a strange change of mood as well, his feelings mixed. Various problems come in a row, piling up to make his heart crumpled. But one by one the problem fell apart, Arlan's words calmed him down a lot. If Arlan thinks of Arin as having a nature that is difficult to guess, sometimes he is so ignorant, ignoring existence, saying cynical to sarcasm, he said, but this person could also be gentle and speak calmly to him. He repeated the word again, ‘Don't worry, don't be too burdened, don't worry’ to make his own assumptions adorable because Sarah is busy until she who is nosy teases her best friend.’ Although only simple words, the fact is that Arin has been quite amused, but why Arlan suddenly behaved like that, his body shook, goosebumps itself.
“Arin, have you arrived?” A woman asked briefly, but successfully jolted Arin's consciousness.
