Dandelion Dusk

Harbored

Elon looked at Ara with an intense gaze making the girl whose hair was smeared on top of it feel sad. I don't know why since then Elon looked at him continuously without saying anything.

After the events on the night of the bazaar festival, Elon and Ara get closer. Even the sense of awkwardness when close together has vanished with time.

The once cold Elon turned into a bitch when he was with Ara. It felt like Ara wanted to make fun of the eyes of Elon who did not stop looking at her.

"Sister Elon why?" said Ara jengah.

"What am I doing?" reply Elon indifferently.

"Clearly" Ara pursed her cute lips.

Elon picked her up and took her to play in the garden of the Ara housing complex. The park is not so crowded tonight. There are very few people passing by.

Elon stood up from his seat and passed away leaving Ara. Then come back with ice cream in both hands.

Elon sat next to Ara, "Want to eat some ice cream?" ask Elon.

"No." ketus Ara.

"Yes already." Elon ate his chocolate ice cream casually without concern for Ara.

"Nyenyene.." murmured Ara meme-menye.

Ara glanced at Elon who was engrossed in ice cream. That ice man really sucks. Why is his attitude inversely proportional when with other people.

Even Elon was insensitive that Ara also wanted to eat ice cream.

"The polar base is insensitive!" grunts Ara.

"Say I didn't want to eat myself, rather than mubadzir." replied Elon casually.

Ara snatched the ice cream from Elon's hand by force and ate it.

"You want to say you don't want to be in it." Elon insinuated Ara, "So a very prestigious girl." she continued.

"It's basically insensitive." said Ara.

Elon continued to look at Ara without blinking. I don't know since when Elon has a new hobby of seeing this jutek girl.

"Can't you, don't you think I'm like that?!" said Ara.

"Whose eyes?" ask Elon. "It's up to me." he continued with an annoying expression.

"Yayaya whatever!" Ara shook her hand.

The quiet atmosphere in the park adds to the impression of akward between them. Flickering lights installed in the trees become lights to their akward.

"Sister Elon." great-grandson of Ara.

Elon was facing sideways, "Why hmm?" reply brief.

"I'm gonna ask you, right?" Ara tried to vent, "But Brother Elon don't take it personally." continued Ara quietly.

"depends."

Ara straightened her body position, "Emm.." she bit her lower lip to relieve her nervousness. "Who is Sonya's sister?" ask Ara.

"People." reply Elon.

"That's not what it means." Ara hit Elon's arm. Actually Elon already knew the direction of Ara's question but he chose to prank Ara first. Because he thinks seeing the expression of jutek and upset Ara makes the girl look more cute.

Ara cut her lips funny and both her hands were crossed in the chest. Elon shuffled Ara's hair.

"Ish.. messy tau." said Ara putting Elon's hand out of her head.

"He's just a part of my past." Elon's expression turned serious.

"But not the memories will always be remembered, brother?"

"Not always the memories must be remembered, just let us make a lesson for the future just." reply Elon smiled knot. Ara had never even seen a sincerely smiling Elon like this before.

"Why does Elon rarely smile?" asked Ara with a troubled heart.

"Why is that?" Elon tried to think for a while, after getting an answer he said again, "Because not necessarily the person who likes a smile it fills his heart like his smile. There are two types of smiles" he continued.

Ara listened to Elon's words well, while understanding every word spoken by the man with blue strings.

"What?" ask Ara.

"A smile to cover the wound and a smile that really makes him happy" replied Elon.

Elon stared straight ahead, "Sometimes people would rather show his smile so that others wouldn't know he was hurt."

Ara nodded in understanding.

"It turns out not all smiles are real. Sometimes it's just a mask that covers up to look okay."

***

A girl just got off the motorcycle while carrying a paper bag in her right hand. He walked into the yard and smiled at the guard.

His steps led to head to the front of the door and squeeze the bell. The door opened and revealed a smiling middle-aged woman.

"Assalamu'alaikum, auntie." he said as he stroked the back of Fara's right hand.

"Waalaikumsalam, uh you dear. Let's go in." Fara invites Adis to enter the house.

They sat on the sofa located in the living room. Adis gave her paper bag to Fara.

"It's tan, from grandma" said Adis thrusting paper bag.

"Oh my goodness, I'm really bothered." Fara received the paper bag.

"No tan, I happened to make a lot of cakes." Adis spread his gaze, "Oh yeah tan, why don't I see Ara anyway?" ask Adis.

"Ara again came out with Elon, not yet home" replied Fara smiling.

Adis nodded slowly. "Jeez aunt until you forget not yet nawarin you drink" said Fara.

"Don't bother tan." Adis replied.

"Arka is on top, if you want to go there. When you came here to talk to aunt." Fara laughed softly.

"Why did I go over the tan?"

Adis stepped his feet up the stairs one by one and looked for the location of Arka's room. The room is next to Ara's room but different colors of the door.

Tok.shock.

Adis knocking on the door of Arka's room. But there is no answer from within.

He ventured to hold the handle of the knob and rotate it. Door opens. Adis stepped into the room.

But there was no room owner. He smelled cigarette smoke from the balcony of the room and walked towards the balcony.

Arka heard the sound of footsteps approaching her and sat on a chair on the balcony. But he didn't look to see who was coming. It's definitely his sister the troublemaker.

"Have you gone home Ra?" ask Arka while exhaling cigarette smoke.

"When do you like to smoke?" asked the woman in a relaxed tone but sounded resolute.

Arka who heard the voice immediately frowned. Nope. It wasn't his sister's voice.

Arka turned her head and found Adis who was sitting on the chair that was behind her.

"When is it there?" ask Arka.

"Since you don't hear the sound of people knocking at the door." replied Adis.

Adis stood close to Arka who was at the end of the balcony of the room. "I've been asking since when do you like to smoke?" tanya Adis presses every word that is said.

"It's only been a few months." Arka turned her face.

"Why?"

"Just try." replied Arka lightly.

"You'll know that I'm the same Ara doesn't like the smell of cigarette smoke."

Arka immediately turned off his cigarette and threw it into the trash can on the balcony.

Adis did call Arka and Ara with me-you. It was used to it since they were almost separated because Arka had to move.

Adis took out the candy from his pants pocket and gave it to Arka. "Now, make a cigarette. Mending eating candy instead of smoking cigarettes that only makes us unhealthy" said Adis.

Arka received candy from Adis, "Eating a lot of candy is also not healthy" said Arka while opening the candy wrapper and put it in her mouth.

"It doesn't make your heart the same as your lungs are damaged" Adis replied.

The night wind blew the ends of their hair. Both of them were busy watching the street from the balcony of the room.

"Can I hug?" arka.

Adis who heard Arka's words fell silent for a moment. Then nodded slowly. Arka immediately pulled Adis in her arms.

There are many things she misses about this woman. Many things were lost after they separated. But everything has returned along with the arrival of the woman who is very much missed Arka.

Adis returned a hug from Arka. It is undeniable that he also misses this careless man. A man who can break through the door of his heart.

Adis' tears trickled down without her noticing. Arka heard Adis who was a little bit as excited.

Arka took off her embrace and wiped Adis' tears with both hands. "Don't cry your tears are too precious" said Arka.

Adis lowered his head and shook his head slowly.

"Don't duck, I don't want your crown to fall." Arka raised Adis' head and stared fixedly at the woman's face.

"Sorry."

"No need to apologize." Arka held Adis' hands gently. "I'm sorry I couldn't be honest with this feeling. I'm a loser guy, who can't immediately tell what I've been feeling all along. I'm also not a romantic guy who can figure it all out."

Adis' heart beats twice as fast. He had to prepare himself for what Arka would say next.

"I won't make a promise that I can't make someday. But let me make an effort to learn to prove it." Arka took a deep breath, "I love you Dis. I don't want to be stuck in a status that can make us far away one day. But I will be serious about our relationship in the future. You want to, right?"

"A.I want to." replied Adis nervously.

"Thanks. I hope you want to negur me, when I'm wrong and ngingetin me."

The romantic thing suddenly disappeared just like that since Ara stood in the middle of Arka and Adis while smiling innocently.

"Hi Brother Adis." said Ara did not know the situation.

Arka immediately let go of her hand that was holding Adis' hand and growled softly.

"Basic adek laknat, do not know the situation!" maki Inner Ark.

"Hey Ra, are you home?" reply Adis Nervous.

"Well, is this Ra?" tanya Arka looked at Ara sharply. While Ara just smiled innocently.

"Why? I can't." Ara blinked her eyelids funny.

"Eh uh that's not what your brother Ra means." Adis replied quickly and glared at Arka.

Adis stroked the top of Ara's head. "Well eat?" ask Adis.

Ara nodded, "Come on." She smiled sweetly.

Adis loved Ara as much as her sister. Ara who can be his friend even though they are different ages.

"Bang, Ara's sleeping here?" tanya Ara looked at Arka pleading.

"No! No!" reject Ark.

"Break evil! Watch out I won't be blessed with Adis' sister." replied Ara while sticking out her tongue.

"Ck, yes."

Adis saw the watch in his left hand, "I went home first, it's very lazy" Adis said.

"Sister Adis doesn't care?" ask Ara.

"When do you sister Adis nginep. Later kasian grandma no cementnya." reply Adis smiled.

"Yes, that's it." Ara glanced towards Arka. "There bang anterin brother Adis home!" decreed Ara.

"Elo does understand me deck." Inner Arka is happy.
