CAMELLIAS

episode 4

Alfaro keenan

"Abang,,,! Bang Faro !" 

I jumped as soon as David yelled at my name. 

" yeah? Why, is it over?"

"The body of the dance." David gave me the paper about what he was filling out. I observed the answer, there were only two answers that were still wrong. 

"There are two things that are still wrong." I pointed at two things that were wrong with my index finger. David looked down at the direction of the index, he nodded and went back to work on the wrong answer. 

Seeing how his spirit David learned, made me recall Alma's condition. Every morning I could only see her grim face, eating breakfast without interest. If only he wasn't sick, maybe Alma would be like David who was always excited if he was studying. 

David's parents were very disciplined in educating his children, including Dea. Dea's parents did not prohibit her modeling activities, provided they were done outside of college hours and did not interfere with learning activities. 

"It's done." David cried.I checked the problem sheet and all the answers were correct.

"Okay,sipp." I rubbed my curls and held my thumb together. David smiled and got a compliment from me.

"When you want to go home, don't you wait for Dea to come home?" Ask David.

"Yes, I want to go straight home. There's business." My reply. David nodded and walked me to the front door. 

I was about to get out of the gate of the house, suddenly came a young man wearing a motorcycle like mine in red, stopping right near my motorbike. He opened the glass helmet he was wearing, smiling kindly as usual.

"Will you come back, man?". Ask her.

"Yes. Just back from school? Tumben's still home by noon." 

"Yoi, abis from bentar arena. Being told to go back together, there's an event he said." I smiled hearing it.

"Okay, am I coming back?" Jupiter nodded, though,

Jupiter Alfian is Dea's younger brother. 

Dea has two younger brothers, David and Jupiter. In contrast to David the good and obedient boy, while Jupiter the rebellious child and often make trouble but actually he is a good young man. 

Jupiter has a little extreme hobby, he likes wild races. 

Often I caught Jupiter racing wild in south Jakarta, even Jupiter had several times entered the police network that patrolled in search of wild races.

Actually I also like sports challenging adrenaline like racing, just that I still love my life and also I'm not as lucky as Jupiter, who has a lot of money to release him at the police station. 

Jupiter's tall body at a glance like not a student, he looks faster like a college boy. If only he hadn't worn the school uniform, people would have thought he was my age. We were almost 4 years different. 

Down the streets of the capital, the sun at two o'clock in the afternoon was so stinging through the jeans I was wearing. Today there is no schedule for guidance with Kara, only for some reason since the night at Nadia's birthday event, I so often think of Kara, the girl with round eyes.

That afternoon Dea repeatedly sent me a message, so that I did not forget to take her looking for a birthday gift for her best friend, Nadia. I refused Dea's invitation to go to the show, but Dea kept pushing until I finally agreed. 

Dea will turn into a female prosecutor if her wishes are not fulfilled. She repeatedly reminded me that I had to come to her house and go to her birthday on time. But I don't want to let Kara down, I can't possibly shirk my responsibilities as a guidance teacher. So before leaving for Nadia's birthday, I took the time to teach first at Kara's house.

During tutoring, many times I checked my phone that kept ringing, many messages came in from Dea, Kara's pesky aware of my movements. 

Kara immediately ended the lesson and told me to go home quickly, I felt bad and felt less professional at work. However, Kara's parents paid for my services, fifty percent at the beginning, and I was guilty of mixing personal matters with work.

Although I was not feeling well, I ended the guidance fifteen minutes earlier than usual. Hurry up and change clothes and go straight to Dea's house. I waited for Dea in the living room, and I checked my phone repeatedly, hoping that Kara would call me even if it was just to ask about lessons. But nil. Until Dea came out of her room, Kara never once called me. 

Departing to Nadia's birthday event using Dea's car, while my motorbike is stored in the yard of Dea's house. During my relationship with Dea, I rarely want to take a motorcycle with me. He'd rather use his car, thankfully I can take the car. So even though using Dea's car, I still drive it. 

Nadia housing complex is not much different from the Dea housing complex, they both live in luxury residential areas. I was often invited by Dea to visit Nadia's house, so I have memorized the address and the road to Nadia's house. After all, we both went to the same university, the same tongkrongan, grateful that I live surrounded by rich people who never distinguish about economic status. 

Arriving at Nadia's house, Dea and I immediately headed to her event venue which was behind the house, near the pool. Party with a very luxurious garden party theme with ornaments all white. 

Tonight Dea and I agreed to wear matching colors. At first I refused to dress neatly, because I prefer casual grooming, I think it's more comfortable than having to wear a shirt like tonight. But since Dea kept forcing, I finally complied with her wish. 

As soon as Dea and Nadia were chatting, my eyes caught a familiar girl in my eyes. Wearing a pink dress, her long black hair decomposes to the waist. Kara is very beautiful, different from usual. 

I was surprised to see her at Nadia's birthday party. But as soon as I saw the person next to him, I realized he was sitting with his sister Nadi, whose name was Nadira. His eyes were still looking at me sharply, even I felt like I was in the middle of the introration through his gaze. Until Dea pulled me over to the other friends, I no longer saw her. 

During the event, I still stole a glance at where Kara was, only a short while after that she got out of place and walked away. My eyes were still following his every move, until I saw him enter his white BMW, and his figure was gone. She's home. 

"I just cape. I'm going straight back, right?" Smacked a glimpse of Dea's forehead and immediately rushed home. 

Arriving at home I still think about Kara, even I do not know exactly what the reason, why I have to think about it. 

I thought after the day had passed, I could obliterate my thoughts, but it wasn't. I tried repeatedly to contact Kara, but I repeatedly abandoned my intentions. I don't know what to say, but I'm getting restless.

My stupidity is not enough to get there, I don't even know why I'm here now, in front of the gate of Kara's house without a clear purpose. Silence on the motor while staring at the screen of the phone that I have been on and off since. 

The gate of Kara's house opened, I almost started the motor and left immediately. But as soon as I saw two women coming out of the gate I was again made speechless. Kara came out with a middle-aged woman, who I believe must be her domestic assistant. Not only am I silent, Kara was no less silent as soon as I realized my presence. He appears to blink his eyes repeatedly, making sure his vision is not wrong. 

"Non, that's Alfaro mas huh?" Ask the middle-aged woman. Kara just nodded, her eyes still staring confusedly at me.

There was no other choice, I finally got off the bike to get to him.

"Kara," 

"Yes, what do you need here. There's no guidance today, right?" I scratched my head though it didn't itch.

"Yes, I just want to apologize."

" I'm sorry? Make what?" I'm getting confused by Kara's question. I was confused as to why I should apologize.

"Bi Iyah can get you a drink, make Faro?" Kara told bi Iyah to take a drink, although it's not really just the thirst that I'm holding.

"Why don't you come in, wait here?" 

"Cuman coincidence through. Where are you going?" My toot.

"I want to go for a walk together. Bosen at home."

"Street?"

"Yes." Yeah." I don't understand this girl any more. How can he walk while there are many cars lined up neatly in the garage of his house. 

Before long Iyah came to bring two glasses of cold drinks. "This is Non, let's go inside first yes, want to lift the clothesline for a while, then we go for a walk."

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Kara. Bi Iyah went back inside the house.

"I'm sorry I rushed home yesterday, but the guidance hours weren't over." 

"Oh, that. It's nothing, I understand. What matters is that your boyfriend isn't angry, is he?" I smiled at Kara's words. 

"Tomorrow I change for less than fifteen minutes yesterday."

"If I ask to change to another, can you?" Reply Kara

"What?" I wish Kara hadn't asked me to change her time by asking me to buy her a fancy place to eat, because I definitely wouldn't be able to.

"I want to learn on a motorbike." Said hesitating.

"Huh?" 

"If you can't use your motorbike, you can use a motorbike in the garage. I haven't been able to bring 'em, about the manng Ujang don't want to teach." Kara looks shy to express her wishes. 

"Would you?" Kara continued, looking at my silent expression.

"Can"

"Really?" Kara seemed enthusiastic as soon as I agreed. 

"Fifteen minutes, five lessons?" Kara again made her offer.

"okay" 

For the first time I saw Kara smiling. I don't know why his smile looks so sincere and sweet. 

As long as I was his teacher, I never spoke other than for the sake of learning. I always limit myself to not get too close to him.But this time out of nowhere push, I actually passed a step rule that I made myself.
