Ari walked towards the stop. Amongst the people in
the sidewalk, Ari was like a daze. He walks on the sidewalk, but his mind is
always to Tata. Then, in the crowd at the stop, Ari sees Lisa. And Lisa
I saw Ari.
“Kak Ari!” lisa shouted as she looked at Ari.
Ari was still fixated when Lisa approached her.
“Kak Ari back by bus right?”ask Lisa.
“Iya..”Jawab Ari stutters.
“So that's Kak Ari's girlfriend huh?” Lisa asked Tata who she was
look with Ari in the canteen.
“E... No. E. Yes, yes. I mean..” Ari does not know how
I have to explain it to Lisa.
Then Lisa saw Ari's hand. Lisa didn't see the ring
he was given it on Ari's finger.
“Kak Ari doesn't like his ring huh?” ask Lisa slowly.
Ari just realized that Lisa's gift ring no longer exists
on his finger again.
“E... Your ring... E... I mean..” Ari cannot answer.
question Lisa. How could she have told Lisa that the ring she threw away
so that Tata would wear her necklace again.
“Nothing kok Kak Ari,” said Lisa flat,”Kalau Kak Ari
don't want to be my sister, I'm also okay kok.”
“Not so I mean..” Ari tries to explain but does not
there were words coming out of his mouth.
“Then I go home by taxi,” Lisa said with
voicemail,”See you Ari.”
Then Lisa just left Ari.
“Lisa wait!” Ari half yelled.
But Lisa had already walked quickly to the curb and
stop a taxi that happened to pass by. And Ari stopped his steps.
He seems to have gone through with what happened. Ari felt nothing
which he can do. She could only see the taxi Lisa was riding away
and mingle with the busy streets. Then Ari remembers Lisa's ring.
At least now he has to find the ring. Ari went back to the place
where she threw away Lisa's ring. Back and forth Ari through the places
around canteen. Perhaps there lay the ring that he had thrown away. But
it had been almost an hour, Ari had not found it. Until Ari sees Mr. Min
walk in front of him. Ari also told about his lost ring to Sir
Min. He asked Mr. Min for help when he found the ring. And Mr. Min is just
assented in passing. Until Ari also seems to have resigned when the ring
it was never found. He also had to give up if he wouldn't meet Lisa
any more.

It's raining tonight. Ari was already lying on her bed.
It was 1 o'clock past but Ari could not close his eyes. She still is
worrying Tata. He hopes Tata will wear his necklace again. From earlier
he still holds his phone. I want to send a message to Tata. Ensuring
Tata is fine. But he thought, Tata must still hate him right now.
Sometimes Lisa comes to mind. Before he finds Lisa's ring, he
can't do anything. He's with Lisa. Then the phone sounded.
It was a call from Tata. Ari was surprised because it was late like Tata contacted him.
“Halo Ta...” says Ari. He doesn't know what to say.
“Ari..” Tata's voice sounds vibrating on Ari's phone.
“Ta... You okay?”Ask Ari
“Ari.. Sorry I yes..”now Tata's voice interspersed with sobs.
“Iya Ta..”
“You don't hate me, do you?”
“Nega... You are okay, right?”
“Ari.. My necklace was confiscated with my mother.
meet you again at school. Driver I told everything to mama.
Ri,” Isak Tata sounds louder on Ari's phone.
“Iya, yes... You where Ta?”
“I'm in the room.. Can't sleep..”.
“Terus... You are okay-why right?”.
“From just now in the corner someone stood..”.
“He what?”
“She mothers carry umbrellas.. Wrist her hands to me..”.
“Now there is still?”
“Now... Now there is no.”.
“Ya already... You sleep gih,” said Ari,” If there is anything
call me.”
“Iya I want to sleep.. But you do not matainin your HP yes.”.
“Iya Ta, no I matiin.”
Then five minutes more Ari quietly let his phone stick
in his ear. Until he heard Tata's breathing start to get regular. Ari thinks Tata
he's asleep now. Be careful he turns off his connection with Tata. Because
he was thinking of contacting Toha right now. He thinks Tata
must immediately have a necklace like the one Mr. Toha was given. She must
do something for Tata. Because he had forgotten Tata at death
his daddy. He did not want to repeat the same mistake against Tata.
“Halo Ha, sori jam as soon as I contact you,” said Ari after
his phone is connected to Toha.
“Why Ri? Nothing, right?” toha's voice is still heard
resisting sleepiness on Ari's phone.
Then Ari told me about yesterday afternoon and the situation
The current Tata is not wearing her necklace.
“Sori really Ha,” said Ari,”Gue for a really good help,
can be pinched to bokap lo.”
“Iya.. Ntar I talked to bokap yes,” said Toha.
After speaking with Toha, at least Ari was relieved.
Before Tata had a necklace again, she would never feel calm.
***
Morning at the school park, Wira has joined Ari, Toha
and Nara. The suspension period for Wira is over. The mood this morning was more
cheerful. They feel whole again. Toha handed him a small envelope
to Ari.
“That's from bokap,” said Toha to Ari,” Last malem I've
talk to Bokap.”
Ari opened the envelope. It's a necklace. But no
like a bullet casing. The necklace is a silver chain. The band is shaped
such capsules are also made of silver.
“Ha, this must be expensive..” said Ari looking at the necklace in her hand.
“Udah is okay,” Toha says.
“Keep the Tata no need to meet bokap?” ask Ari.
“Nnothing said bokap. Because Tata has met
bokap,” replied Toha,” O yes, said bokap, you yourself have to wear a necklace
to Tata,” said Toha with a smile.
Spontaneous Ari hugs Toha until Toha slightly retreats to
backside.
“Thank You Ha,” said Ari,”I guess I can't bales
kindness lo,” said Ari solemnly. Ari did not expect Toha would be as fast
it gave her a request necklace, while she was worried every minute
about Tata.
“Udah do not think,” said Toha,” I lakain this make
Tata too. I know who gave me duwit to buy a bike when it was not lo.
Must be from Tata. Her best friend Astri. Where to have duwit.”
Ari just smirked being caught lying.
“Kata Astri, Tata is actually a good person,” added
Toha,” He never differed.”
“Eh, but you also have the same story yet bokap lo problem
ghosts in school?” ask Nara to interrupt.
“Iya already, said Bokap there are still four ghosts, “ansi Toha, said,
“But it's also the case during the day.”
“Well,”sahut Wira,”Means that one was indeed brought
Fatar, the other four do not know deh.”
“Yang brought Fatar must be the head of the antelope,” Ari tried
clarification,” Which is still there, little boy whose hands are black, one more
the woman with her hair up, another Dutch Noni whose path is backward,
means less than one more we don't know.”
The four of them were silent for a moment.
“Eh, lo when you want to meet Tata,” ask Toha,”Hoo him
meet the ghosts ntar.”
“Ngot know nih..” said Ari with a confused face.
Then he told me about yesterday's incident when he was dealing
with driver Tata to Tata forbidden his mother met Ari at school.
“Can be set it,” said Nara,” Want to know how to meet Tata
Ri?” Ask Nara.
“Where?” ask Ari plain.
“But you have to dare to crate Tata car tires before
home,”said Nara,”Bare not?”
“Brave,” Ari replied spontaneously. He'll do anything for her sake
Tatas. Moreover, he will be very happy if he can work Tata driver.
Then Nara told her the plan that was in her head to Ari.
And the bell came in.
This afternoon is blistering. In the parking lot, driver Tata bobbles
the head found one of his car tires flat. Moreover, the bell home school just now
rang. The students who were riding in the car arrived in the parking lot. Then
Tata was seen approaching his driver.
“Why Pak tires?” ask Tata.
“Kempes Neng,” replied driver Tata while jacking up the car
to change tires,” Though yesterday new filled wind.”
Tata just sighed. Address he'll wait a minute
in the middle of the heat. Then Tata saw Nara approaching him.
“Why car lo Ta?” tanya Nara to Tata,”His balls deflated?”
Tata was a little surprised, suddenly a Nara asked so
to him.
“Iya nih...” replied Tata.
“Mending is waiting in my car. Than the heat in
here,” says Nara.
Then Nara quietly handed the folds of paper to her hand
Tatas. Although a little surprised, Tata opened the piece of paper. There is writing there
: Ari's in my car.
Tata looked at Nara for a moment. Nara also hinted
Tata to follow him. Tata looked at the driver for a moment. He's taking
spare tire. Tata told the driver he was going to Nara's car first. Nara's Car
parking not far from Tata's car. Tata entered through the back door. And in
there is Ari. Nara purposely left them both.
“Ari..?” Tata was still astonished by the way they met.
“Sori Ta, this is one way that I can meet
you,”kata Ari.
Tata's eyes sparkled. Smile widens. Actually he's not
it does matter how he meets Ari.
“This is a new necklace for you,” Ari shows a necklace
giving Toha to Tata,”You must quickly use.”
“But it's too good Ri,” said Tata saw the necklace in
Ari's hand.
“Iya, said Toha I have to wear it to you,” said Ari nervously.
Tata smiled at Ari's nervousness. Then he
turned her body and lifted her long back hair so that
his back neck is open. Carefully Ari wrapped the necklace around Tata's neck.
Although a little nervous, Ari managed to also button the necklace chain. Tata
turning her body again facing Ari while holding her new necklace pendulum.
The silver necklace seemed fitting on Tata's neck and more beautiful than the old one.
“Still yes Ari,” says Tata with a big smile.
“Iya..” replied Ari plain,” like your driver has entered
tire to baggage,” says Ari. He can see the driver and Tata's car out there.
“Iya... I have to go now,” says Tata. But the gaze
his eyes did not stop looking at Ari.
Then in a few moments Ari and Tata looked at each other. And
spontaneously Tata also hugged Ari. So tightly she hugged Ari. Ari also returned
more tightly. It was as if tomorrow they never met again. Because
there is not much time for them to meet.
“Ta, your driver is again looking for you,” Ari said.
“Iya, I go first yes Ri,” says Tata.
Furthermore Ari can only look at Tata from the car window
he was walking to leave her to his car. Sebersit crossed the question
in Ari's mind, one day will she still be able to meet Tata.
