Dandelion Dusk
Recognize it
Ara was worried because she saw Elon in front of her class when she returned home from school. Nervousness surrounded his body. Ara did not know what to react in front of the guy. Does he have to chat normally, say hello or even chatty? Ara shook her head in fear.
Ara could not interpret the gaze that Elon gave her. It was very difficult for him to avoid those stares.
"Why is Elon outside? It's not time to get out yet."
Ara more lethargic. Mr. Dadang closed the lesson after the school bell rang. They prayed, and the teacher left the classroom. Ara wished Elon had gone from the front of her class.
The four of them walked past Elon who was leaning against the wall while playing the keys of his motorbike.
"Senja wait."
Ara was forced to stop because of Elon's call. "You guys go first."
"Isn't anything Ra?" Febby asked unsure.
"Take a shot. Just relax, Feb." Ara reviewed a thin smile.
"May it work Ra" said Karin. Then the three of them left Ara.
"Absolutely afraid of me getting out for a long time?" elon asked after being beside Ara.
"It's a habit, brother."
"Why else, brother?" ask Ara.
"Gakpapa, you want to be here."
"Oh yes, if so I go back first, brother" said Ara past Elon.
"Eh" Elon held Ara's hand.
"Gue forgot your brother came home from earlier."
"Well, I'm staying" Ara grumbled.
"Gue anter home"

The motor sport was driving away from the school parking lot at moderate speed. Now Ara is on Elon's bike. Only the sound of the exhaust roar accompanied their journey.
Elon who is focused on driving and Ara who is still upset with Arka. It was as if his brother had come home first and was not waiting for him.
"Eh..eh.this is not the way to the house" said Ara shocked when the motorbike drove different paths.
"Emang no" answered Elon briefly.
"Where are you, brother? Don't want to kidnap me."
"AAA HELP!!" shouted Ara.
"Can it be?!" said Elon slightly shouted because he was disturbed by the sound of the vehicle passing by.
"We're going home. I have been waiting for Elo from earlier."
"Huh? Aunt Sari waitin Ara sis?"
"Hm"
The motor stopped in the yard of a house. The house looks very big, but it seems so classic and simple.
"down"
"Yeah" answered Ara who was still focused on looking at the garden next to Elon's house.
"Come in." Ara followed Elon in the back.
"Assalamu'alaikum, Elon home." cried Elon as he entered the house.
"Waalaikumsalam, Ara where's Lon?" ask aunt Sari while wailing to look for the whereabouts of Ara.
Ara immediately appeared and greeted aunt Sari. "Haloo tan's. Auntie how are you?"
"Good darling. Come on in. - Come in."
Aunt Sari pulls Ara's hand to get inside the house. Just passed Elon.
Ara followed Aunt Sari who was still busy in the kitchen.
"Can I help you tan?" ask Ara.
"Not to darling. Your clothes will get dirty."
"Nothing tan, usually also Ara often help mother in the kitchen."
"What's aunt doing?" ask again.
"Make Elon's favorite chocolate cake."
"Well, chocolate tan cake." Ara's eyes sparkled when she heard the word chocolate.
"You like it too? It's cobain." Aunt Sari gave a piece of chocolate cake to Ara.
"Yes dear."
"Oh yes Ra. Please call Elon in his room. Aunty wants to call you first." said aunt Sari.
"His room that has the writing is Ra." cried aunt Sari told Ara.
Ara took her foot up the stairs and she saw a room in front of her door with a sign.
"NO ENTRY WITHOUT PERMISSION!!"
MUST BE WITH PERMISSION FROM DELION si kece:)
Ara simply smiled as she read the writing stuck on that door. It seemed like the writing was a long time ago, as the color of the letters had already begun to fade.
Tok.shock.
Ara knocked on Elon's room door. There was no answer from the owner of the room.
Finally Ara decided to open the door and enter the room. This room is empty.
I just heard water from the bathroom. Maybe Elon is inside.
Ara watched every corner of Elon's room. This room was so spacious, just like hers. It's just that the design of this room looks very simple, the items in it are also neatly arranged.
I was busy watching Elon's room. Until Ara did not realize that there was someone beside her. He did not even hear the bathroom door open.
"Have you finished looking at my room?"
"Eh.h." Ara looked to the side. Elon's hair looks very disheveled with still dripping water.
"So brother Elon was told to get auntie to come down" said Ara leaving the room.

Now they're gathered at the dinner table.
"Come on Ra, eat a lot." Aunt Sari spoke and poured a drink in the glass.
Because Ara felt so awkward. So he just nodded his head while smiling faintly.
"Your father how is Ra?" tanya Om Admaja's. Ara was sure it must be Elon's papa.
"Alhamdulillah good om,"
"I haven't seen your father in a long time" said Om Admaja, chuckling.
"Dad busy in the office om, sometimes mother also to the office to help father."
"Your father was a hard worker."
"Hehe.iya om." Ara smile.
Lunch is over. Because Ara was feeling awkward, she still helped Aunt Sari clean the dining table. Although aunt Sari forbade it.
"Aunty likes to grow flowers?" asked Ara while washing her hands in the sink.
"Have you seen the garden next to Ra's house?"
"Yes tan, Ara likes the garden."
"Ara can't tan?" ask Ara.
"By dong dear. But you change clothes first. There's a cousin Elon's shirt, just a minute, I'll get you." Aunt Sari went to get some clothes.
"Nih Ra, you wear it." hand over the clothes to Ara.
"Thank you."
"You changed clothes in Elon's room."
"I went upstairs first ya tan." said Ara left aunt Sari.
****
Tok.shock.
There was a voice in the room telling Ara to come in.
"Just in."
"Bathroom ride, brother, was my aunt asked to change her clothes."
"Yes" answered Elon briefly. After getting permission, he went straight to the bathroom to change his clothes.
After fifteen minutes in the bathroom, Ara came out. He wears an overalls that fit on his tiny body and the hair that he let loose.
Elon was still focused on his phone until he did not realize that Ara was in front of him.
Elon raised his head and looked at the person in front of him.
"Beautiful" muttered Elon.
