Different Age

Just Five Years

This morning was very different than usual. The day that was previously quiet and alone, now felt different.

Arya steps out of the house to go to work. He took out his vehicle and started heating it.

"Mas Arya, what time will I come home ?"

There was a cry from Echa at the door. Arya looked towards Echa.

"Maybe I'll be home sooner, what's the matter ?"

Echa held her hair and lowered her head. Arya felt so confused seeing Echa's attitude.

"I want to make dinner that you might like"

Arya just smiled hearing the answer from Echa. He started riding in his car and went to work. Echa just looked at him with her sweet smile.

Along the way it felt so pleasant, the wind seemed to blow comfortably through the jacket he was wearing. Without feeling Arya reached his office.

His smile was different from the day before. Without realizing it, from behind a stranger to him hit his shoulder.

"Cie who looks so happy haha"

I saw Pampam smile that morning. Arya simply replied to him with her wry smile.

"Are you the same as Yola, Ar ?"

Bak was struck by lightning, Arya heard a speech from Pampam.

"Who said ?"

Arya was confused and asked back to him. Pampam just smiled and patted Arya on the back.

"It can be in the ring from Yola himself hehe"

Hearing that answer made Arya even more confused. As he remembered, he had not given Yola the slightest answer. Pampam walked away leaving Arya alone in front of the workplace.

"Why can Yola say that we're made ? what does he want ?"

Arya just muttered in her heart while thinking about all the intentions of Yola's words to Pampam who said she was made.

"I'd better try to ask him directly"

Arya retrieves HP and sends a message to Yola to meet. Arya walks into the office and gets ready for work.

Time passed, and the clock changed as work began to finish. Finally the time Arya was waiting for came as well. His steps were getting faster walking out of the workplace. As Arya rides her bike, Pampam comes and teases Arya back.

"Why rush Ar ?"

Arya just kept quiet, and looked at Pampam blankly.

"You want to go home to Yola, right ? cie cie don't forget the taxes so it haha"

Arya turns on her motorbike and holds Pampam's shoulder.

"Tomorrow I explain ! for the matter of being the same Yola was a misunderstanding ! Ok !"

Arya immediately left Pampam in the parking lot. Seen Pampam's face that was confused to hear Arya's words earlier.

Along the way to the meeting place with Yola, Arya's mind was so chaotic. The day he had previously felt so bright, now turned gray. Curiosity and the cause of the misunderstanding also made him more confused. The speed of his vehicle continues to get faster, the road as if only his. Then Arya in front of the place to meet Yola, on her legs quickly entered the cafe. It is clearly seen that Yola is sitting waiting for Arya at the table they used to sit at. Arya quickly set her foot towards the table.

"Sorry to keep you waiting for a long time"

Yola's smile was so happy to see Arya coming.

"Sit down first Ar"

"Yol, I have something to ask you"

"What is Ar ?"

Arya's heart was filled with doubt, but she was ready to ask the misunderstanding.

"Why did you tell Pampam that we were together ? haven't I answered your question yet ?"

The face that was previously smiling brightly suddenly turned into a weld. Yola held Arya's hand and clasped her tightly.

"Are you angry because of that Ar ? I thought you'd be happy if"

Arya started to show her doubts. When he heard that remark, Arya's heart actually felt happy and covered in dissatisfaction.

"I'm not angry or happy. But everything feels weird Yol"

"Surprisingly how Ar ?"

"It's weird, I said we were going first, but that doesn't mean we're going"

Yola looked gloomy hearing that remark. Guilt also appeared to Arya.

"I'm sorry Yol. I do like you, but when you reject me, I no longer know with this feeling. Honestly, I've been worried since we met yesterday"

Arya lowered her head and did not dare to even look at Yola's face.

"Arya, I know I was wrong to reject you back then. But now the story is different, I want to accept you and want to be with you. So please don't worry and doubt me"

Arya just lowered her head to hear that answer, there was not a word that could be said.

"Look at me"

Yola held tightly onto Arya's hand hoping she understood her intention and looked at her. But Arya who was filled with doubt was only able to bow down without daring to look at Yola.

"Arya, do you not like me anymore ? even looking at me you don't want to ?"

Arya was also devastated to hear that remark. Arya ventured and looked towards Yola. Yola's hand grips grew stronger as the atmosphere began to tense up. Arya held back Yola's hand.

"I really like you, but for now can we be friends just like Yola used to be ?"

"But why Ar ? don't you like me ?"

Arya sighed and looked at Yola's eyes feelingly.

"Understand Yol. It's hard for me to accept you back now, so please let this feeling come back on its own and the pain of your repellent recover. Give me some time first"

Yola lowered her head and began to slowly stretch her grasp. Arya reflexively clasped Yola's hand and kissed her. Yola was surprised by what Arya was doing. Yola's face began to show embarrassment in front of Arya.

"Ke,, why did you kiss my hand Ar ?"

Arya just smiled and took off Yola's hand.

"Sorry, my reflexes are suddenly like that. But as far as I know, I can't let you go or accept you yet. Sorry Yol"

Yola looks happy again and a previously dim smile reappears.

"I'm glad you still can't take me off Ar. I'll wait until you're ready to reopen my heart to me"

The smile on Yola's face made Arya feel happy. Time passed and the night began to come. Arya and Yola leave the cafe.

"I'll take you home Yola"
