CLBK (Long Love Hasn't Been Long)

Arby Lied

Arby extended his hand to Leo. "I'm Arby, Lita's boyfriend." Arby.

Leo jerked. Leo did not welcome Arby's hand. He looked at Arby from head to toe. "Lita's... Your taste is low. He was indeed handsome but shabby, his appearance was mediocre." Inner Leo.

Unreceived, Arby withdrew his hand.

"What's wrong? Why are you here?" Ask Leo not to like it.

"Overnight We celebrate Birthday to know Lita. Today I picked him up. But I saw you guys hugging. Do you love her?" Ask Arby.

Leo nodded. "Yes. She was love at first sight. We met when Lita was just about to fly to this country." Obviously Leo.

"That means he first met Lita. But why would Lita say that if she, her face is hairy, and like an om-om? The one in front of me right now is very young and handsome." Inner Arby.

"Did Lita love you too?" Ask Arby.

"Well... Oh.. Definitely her. Lita loves me so much." Leo is lying.

"Are you Leo, who last night sent her a birthday cake, and flowers?" Ask Arby.

"And the Necklace." Firm Leo.

"Necklace?!" Arby.

Leo opened his phone and showed a picture of the necklace he had given Lita.

Arby surprised. "But Lita didn't say it." Arby looks disappointed.

"That means Lita doesn't want you to know. Or maybe Lita doesn't like you. Look at how you look, is it worth it with Lita?" Leo Eject.

Arby was silent. He's down. Arby realized he was nobody. But her love is very sincere. "alright... I love Lita so much. I want to see Lita happy. If you really love Lita, please make Lita happy." Arby leaves Leo without waiting for Leo to say. Her heart hurts.

"Lita's... Why are you lying to me? Why aren't you being honest with me?" Arby's mind was erratic. Arby leaves the Lita campus with a wound.

The Hotel

"Nothing..!" Astrid looks very anxious.

"Yes Allah... Brother Arby... Brother where?" Lita also looked worried.

"What's Lita doing?" Vita asked who suddenly came out of her room.

"Vit, have you seen Brother Arby?" Tanya Lita was worried.

"Loh, it's not like he was saying goodbye, he said he wanted to go to your campus. Didn't meet?" Vita.

"So it's up to Vit. He said he was going to the toilet." Astrid's.

"Then don't come back." Lita Timpal.

"Wait.wait...." Lita seems to think.

"What's wrong?" Ask Vita and Astrid together.

"You said he went to the toilet. Then he passed the park next to Campus?" Said Lita.

Astrid nodded. "Continue?" Ask Astrid.

"Didn't Brother Arby see me with Mr Leo?" Ask Lita.

"What?! You met Mr Leo?!" Astrid's surprised.

Lita felt guilty. "So I went to the toilet, and I remember my phone shaking during Doctor David's lesson. Then I opened. There's a message from Mr. Leo. I just got out of the toilet, Mr. Leo pulled me up and hugged me." Obviously Lita.

"Did Arby see it?" Ask Astrid.

"Maybe." Said Vita. "She misunderstood and ended up disappointed and left you."

Lita and Astrid sighed. "Sister Arby... Where're you??"

"Yes already... Then you're just here. Wait for him to come back. He must have come back here, right? Are his things still there?" Ask Vita.

Astrid rushed into Arby's room. Astrid breathed a sigh of relief.

In the afternoon before the Maghrib, Arby arrived at the hotel room. He was surprised to see Lita and Astrid sleeping. Her face Lita. "I can't believe that behind your pretty, innocent face lies a lie." Inner Arby. Arby's chest feels tight.

Inadvertently Arby nudged the closet behind him, because He who walked backwards while shaking.

Braaakk....

Lita and Astrid wake up.

"Sister Arby..!!!" Shouted Lita and Astrid together.

"Sorry Brother... We fucked Brother's bed." Said Lita felt bad.

"I'm not going anywhere. I'm waiting for you at the college. But you guys don't come." Arby lied.

"Massaaaa...!!???" Lita and Astrid together.

Arby nodded.

"But we were waiting for Brother for quite a while. He said he wanted to go to the toilet, but he didn't come back." Astrid.

"I'm back but you're not around. I thought you guys had another class. So I waited. But until the afternoon you won't come. So I went back to the hotel." Arby is lying.

Lita and Astrid sighed. "But why isn't your phone active?" Ask Lita.

"Yes... I called a few times but I didn't pick up." Astrid pursed her lips.

"My phone is lowbet. Several times I picked up your call, but disconnected." Arby lied back.

"I'm sorry, Brother. Not going for a walk." Lita looks sorry.

"What no. You guys take a shower there..! It's maghrib." Arby Pinta.

Lita scratched her un-itchy head. "I'm just taking a shower at Vita's. Lita blushed in shame." He hurried out of Arby's room.

"Your..!!! Iisshhh I'm left behind..!" Astrid followed Lita.

Arby just bobbing heads. Arby sighed. He immediately cleaned himself up.

"Why so fast, brother? Brother's been here two days." Lita pursed her lips. Lita gets word from Vita, that Arby has said goodbye to return to her country.

Lita who was ready to leave for Campus, until missing because of Arby.

"My work is a lot, Lita. My boss called last night." Arby reasoned.

"But Brother is given two weeks off, why suddenly returned. Is there something you're hiding?" Lita feels Arby changed. No more affectionate calls for him.

Arby stopped his activities of packing. He approached Lita who was sitting on the side of the bed. Arby squatted in front of Lita. Makes Lita wrong.

"Why do you have to skip for me?" Arby asked while lifting Lita's chin.

"Why did Arby suddenly come back?" Lita asked back.

Arby sat down next to Lita. "I want to see you happy." Arby let out a breath that felt tight squeezing his chest.

"I'm happy Brother." Lita frowned. Lita sat down sideways facing Arby. Arby did the same. Arby looked into Lita's eyes.

"Do you love me?" Ask Arby suddenly.

Lita was surprised to not expect to get a question that she could not answer.

"Why don't you answer? Is there anyone else?" Ask Arby.

Lita shakes. Lita is astonished by Arby who can't wait for her loving.

"Then Leo?" Ask Arby.

Lita looked at Arby's eyes. "Did you misunderstand? Did you see me in the park with her?" Ask Lita.

Arby shook his head fixedly with his lie.

Lita sighed. Without being asked Lita recounted the events of yesterday without anything being covered up.

"Why did you tell me that? Are you starting to love me?" Arby's question is.

"I just don't want any misunderstanding. As for how I feel about Brother Arby, I can't answer that." Lita.

Arby smiling. Arby's back packing his things. "Go back to the campus. It's not good to leave class." Arby Pinta.

"Sister kicked me out?" Tanya Lita was sad.

Arby shook his head without looking at Lita.

Lita standing. "If my departure makes Brother Arby's heart happy, I will." Lita passed by to open the door.

Suddenly Arby pulls Lita's hand and turns Lita's body. Arby hugged Lita's body.

Lita was surprised to get that treatment.

"I love you so much. But I know myself. You don't deserve to be with me." Arby said without taking off his arms.

"Is there a limit to love?" Lita asked with a heavy voice as it felt tight. Arby hugged her very tightly.

Arby felt. He broke his embrace. "Sorry..." Arby.

Lita turns around, pulls the doorknob and leaves Arby stunned by Lita's departure.
