Andara woke up in the middle of the night with breath, sweat soaking her body. His hand grabbed a glass of water on the nightstand. A full glass in his drink. There was a movement from the side, someone's hand pulled him to lie down again.
"Nightmare?" Nanta asked while wiping the sweat on Dara's forehead.
"No, I'm sorry you woke up." Dara still opened her eyes wide staring at the ceiling of her room.
Nanta moved closer, feeling a warm breath hitting his neck. Dara turned her head, Nanta's eyes still tightly closed. His mind was back on his dream just now. The abyss! Yes Dara was very sure in her dream, Dara was at the end of the abyss but when she was about to move away there was a woman's hand pulling her into the abyss.
Can't get rid of the anxiety, he got out of bed. His feet moved towards the kitchen. Looking for a drink in his fridge. After drinking again, it still feels restless. Don't understand why. Andara takes a cigarette in the drawer of the TV table that Saka left behind, then out of her apartment room.
Get into the elevator, stand leaning back waiting for the elevator to go up to the top floor of the rooftop. Dara looked at the clock that was coiling in her hand. It's still three in the morning. Fortunately, he had snatched Nanta's jacket on the sofa.
Dara sits on the roof of the building. Smoke through his mouth. Slowly enjoy every soothing taste. Dara is not a smoker, but will smoke if any. And there happened to be, Saka's property left behind.
His eyes stared at the silence of the city, usually at this hour that had been built was a food seller. They had already prepared the merchandise for breakfast at the shoppers in the morning. Dara smiled at his smile. Life is hard, who can survive is a winner.
Her job as a model is also not easy, many competitors are out there. However, Dara only needs money not fame. So, he didn't need to make a lot of scandals with the higher-ups, just simply show talent.
Dara who had an attractive appearance obviously had no trouble, Beautiful girl with blue eyes, it was already quite interesting. This can not be separated from the hard effort mbak Tia. But, there is something you do not know. That, the biggest support in his career so far is his own father.
Traces of cigarette butts that Dara dumped into the trash. He put his body back on the cold floor. Let the wind caress his face. Waiting for the sunrise to warm herself.
There was dawn, but Andara was still waiting for dawn. His legs bent, and his stairs fused behind his head. Until he felt someone's presence. Don't want to look, and don't want to find out who it is.
"Why didn't you say you were here. I'm looking for you!" Nanta said as he looked at the eastern sky, the Surya began to come out of his contest.
I heard no reply from the girl beside him. Nanta lies down next to Dara. Look at the dark sky that is starting to have its light.
"I want to be like this with you always. Enjoy the time simply, waiting for the warm rays with you."
Dara smiled faintly hearing that, even though she had been held still her heart flowered. Turn his head to the side. Then he approached the man.
"By the way, Dara wants to look at the sunrise with her sister. Dara wants a sister who's always the first in Dara's smile." A brief peek at Nanta's cheek then gazed back at the clear sky above him.
"Let's go to class! It's also a holiday!"
"Emang Dara will come in. But usually there's only a remedial, after which it's free to classmeeting."
"Report, when will it be shared?"
"Em, Saturday. That's two days away! Why?"
"Who's gonna take the report card, ma'am Tia?"
"I don't know, I think Tia will be busy preparing for the photo shoot tomorrow."
"You have another photo shoot? where's the?" Nanta changed his sideways position, staring at the pretty face beside him.
"Weekend, all holidays with kids. Dara hasn't told you what?" Dara turned her face, and now their faces were only one cent away.
Warm breath on his nose. Dara felt it and held her breath, she was surprised and a little embarrassed. His face was slightly reddened as this was very close.
Likewise with Nanta, he also felt the same heartbeat from long ago to the present. Dara, the first girl who can shake her heart.
"How many days?" tanyakannya whispered
"So, we haven't talked about it yet. Em ngijinin's sister, right?"
"There's Saka, right? where are the holidays?"
"Bali, because Andara's photo shoot is also there"
"Okey, come on down. You have to go to school!"
Nanta held Andara in the back. They kept telling stories all the way down to Andara's room. They managed to envy the residents of the apartment that passed.
Dara gets ready, and Nanta As usual prepares breakfast. They hear loud music from your phone. Enjoy a nice morning.
In another position, Nadia just stared at the apartment door that was still locked from the inside. Nadia is also preparing to work. He should be on leave, but for what leave if he doesn't do anything. More precisely alone.
Nadia, preparing food for herself as well for her husband who just married her yesterday. Whether to eat or not, the important thing is that he has prepared food that is his duty as a wife.
Nadia is trying to lie to herself by smiling and doing activities as usual. However, his inner being screamed questioned his pain.
Well, this is the path he has chosen. So live by doing his best, the result he resigned with the power of God.
.........
"Because, where's Lo Kamaren going?" tyas asked as he saw Andara sitting in her chair.
"Sick, What's the matter? I got a remedial?"
"Not for a lesson other than chemistry, because the lesson was ballom in general!" Tyas was playing Alan's ruby, which he had always lived in his desk drawer.
"Well, I'm a pessimist! Uh, I just met Vira, she's making a singing race."
"Certainly? Lo coming?"
"Yes, my list. But the couple, I asked Saka what is Vian?" Dara sat down to face Tyas.
"Saka's voice is good, but because you often see Lo duet with Vian. It seems to fit Vian. But ask me first, won't it be a child!" Tyas pointed at Vian who was just about to enter the classroom.
"Eh don't tell him first yeah, I'd like to think first." Dara whispered into Tyas' ear but a little louder.
"Gue denger's! what don't you say first?" Ask Vian after sitting down.
"No, Yas ya, um you've had breakfast. Breakfast is over!"
"Udah dong! uh said there's a singing race, yuk?" Bring Vian enthusiastic. Dara smiled awkwardly. Tyas, he's holding back a laugh.
"Son, Dara's gonna sing to me!" someone who just came.
"I am the first one!" Vian protest was unacceptable.
"Lo wants to sing with me or her." Point it at Vian.
"Em, I..."
"Udah, just suit you!" Tyas interrupts Dara's speech.
When they will suit, Dara has already decided. It is impossible to choose one of the two. So it's better not, right?
"Gue's not coming! males!"
Andara's answer kept them quiet. Then the two smiled at each other. As if nothing had happened. Dara sat back in her chair. Problem solved is not! but this is actually the beginning of a bigger problem.
"Eh, there's a registration for the singing race! Come with gih!" The new Fita came to give the already stale information.
No one responded, they were dumb. Fita was surprised to see them, usually they are enthusiastic right?
"You guys don't want to come? it's almost closed!"
"NO!!!" answer them simultaneously.
Fita just shrugged her shoulders indifferently. Why do they insist, even though he only asks. Alan who had been silent but actually listened. He was concerned for them.
.........
The race has been started since, Dara and her friends also listened in the audience seats. This stage is also made interesting.
"Fita, Lo kok ngabarin from yesterday if there is a ginian race! I can list it all the way!" Andara protested in a weak voice. He really wanted to run the real race.
"willfully, let the preparation of the participants impromptu, I as the committee must be able to keep the secret dong!" Fita replied casually.
"Daddy Lo!"
Vian and Saka were sitting in their front seats, so had no idea what the girls were talking about. Performances are common in this school, but usually in the form of theater, not music. So they were all excited to take the race.
"Gue the toilet first, come with me?" dara asked Fita and Tyas.
"No!" they compactly answer.
Dara moved from her chair. Saka who saw Andara leave, asked Tyas and Fita behind him. After knowing if only to the toilet, he returned to focus on listening to the participants who sang in front there with the piano.
After finishing her business, Dara washed her face in the sink, There was a classmate who was sitting on the sink inside the girls' toilet. He leaned his body against the wall beside him.
"Why brother, Lo is sick again?" Dara is not a familiar snob, but it seems like the girl nearby is in pain.
"Eh, yes! I got the first day!" The upperclassman replied without looking at Andara.
"Em, why not in the UKS?" Dara was also astonished, sick even in the toilet.
"Gue, wait for me to bring a bandage!"
"Oh, it just so happens that I didn't bring it either."
"Udah, beware the most temen I came! Em, how many participants?" ask her by looking at Andara's face.
"Em, it was fitting I came here, already 32 sis, why?"
"Gue, take the race! sequence number 34. Must be back again!" panic in the class.
Dara simply responded with an awkward smile. When he was about to leave first, the upperclassman held his hand.
"Please change me to sing. I know you used to sing in church too, right? Yea? pity my duet temen if it fits in my call not nongol!" The class brother asked sincerely.
Dara wanted to refuse, but was not good with the upperclassman. Finally he nodded.
"Can you change that guy?"
"May, I'll call the committee!"
"em, yeah, whose name is Lo's partner?" Dara came out but came back to ask.
"Udah lo stay ahead only if the sequence number 34 is called. My duet partner sounds great!" the upperclassman did not forget to smile at you.
After Andara left, his friend who brought Dateng sanitary napkin. brought his friend's order.
"Yes, it seems like it will not be splintered, it will be a moment again number 33 has come down.it is the turn of elo dong."
"Udah is changed by the same person!"
"Well you can, you make duets with that fierce guy just hard, must use ancem-ancem. Could be mad at him if you make him ashamed!" Worrying about his friend.
"No, I'll even be pleased with him. Consider me good today with him. I'm sending an angel to that life-extracting guy!" The girl laughed making the friend next to her so horrified. Afraid that his friend has been possessed by a ghost waiting for the toilet.
......
"For the participants of the sequence number 34 please come forward."
Felt his number on the call the man came forward. Actually he was very lazy to participate in kayak gini event, but because of losing the bet, he was forced to follow Sasha's request to participate in this race.
After he was ready to sit behind the piano, the audience was talking about him. Josh is upset waiting for his duet partner.
"That's Josh singing? didn't you see me wrong?" ask Tyas to his other friend.
"Well, the most ugly voice too. The kayaker he can sing!" Ejek Vian slowly, but can be heard by others.
"Well, what was Dara doing on stage? stray her?" Seloroh Alan, making others watch Dara on stage.
Saka and Vian get increasingly upset, when they see Andara holding a guitar and preparing to sing with a fierce man up there.
Josh was no less surprised by the presence of Andara who went on stage, what else when the girl asked what song they would sing. Josh, a slanted smile feels proud and happy.
