Arista. He ventured to ask Arya, rather than later he thought to the man in front of him whose status had become the husband of people.
"What does that mean? Don't tell me you like me? That's why you're wearing it at the hour until it's buggy, I'm telling you!" ask Arista maksa.
Again. Arya laughed.
"Ahahaha, my God, Arista, I may not like you. If I like it anyway why don't I just go after you to Singapore?"
Arista clucked softly as he poked his lips. He was pensive, his gaze blankly staring at the bowl while playing the rest of his porridge. "Yes, you can follow me there, I also believe if you can, it's your money a lot. I'm just weird, if you don't like why do you also use sampe kayak that? Not ashamed of what? You can buy a branded watch."
Arya folded her hands and propped her chin up looking at Arista. "Yes, no shame, this is a memory. The clock also has a history of "remember Arya.
"Huhuh? What history?" asked Arista looking up not understanding.
"Why don't you love this watch?" arya looked fixed, their eyes met.
Arista remembered, he became remembered the incident when he was a teenager.
That time, Wednesday, he remembered because the sports lesson was right on that day. Just like students at any school they provide their mandatory sportswear.
But somehow Arista forgot to bring it, so inevitably he had to borrow the clothes from the next class.
Long story short, he managed to get it and follow sports lessons as it should be. Therefore the clothes he borrowed then he asked permission to take home and wash it and friends from the next class did not mind.
But somehow, in the street he is confronted by a gang of naughty boys whose gang leader has been rejected outright after declaring his love for Arista. Because Arista refused so rudely, so hurt him until this unexpected event he had to experience.
Arista went home on foot alone, until he arrived at a lonely road beside the river, without warning, they appeared to confront Arista.
The guy who was rejected revealed his dislike for the way Arista rejected him so arrogantly. Inexhaustibly he said Arista, scorn and ridicule did not escape from his mouth and his friends.
Arista panicked, between fear and heartache he cried. The guy had Arista prostrate and apologise if he wanted to be let go. But Arista whose youth was so haughty was reluctant to hurt his pride. He can't do anything but he also doesn't want to do what the guy told him to do. Arista just hopes there will be a miracle, he hopes there will be people who help him or for example there are adults who just pass by and see him in the crack and drive away a group of delinquents. But it was impossible because the streets were so quiet and the daytime sky was so dark.
The guy curses Arista viciously, saying he is poor and arrogant, that even the guy's pretender matches him to the mercenary woman at the midnight market.
The heartbroken Arista heard him more and more insisting not to beg. He did not want to hurt his pride after his heart was hurt.
Ruthlessly the man pulled Arista's bag, forcibly removing it until the rope broke. And not only that, he heartily threw the bag into the river.
Arista let out a shriek, he remembered the books and sportswear he had borrowed.
Deftly without a second thought, he ran away towards the river to pick up his bag.
The gang of men panicked to see the action of Arista who desperately splashed into the river, they began to blame each other and close their eyes and without command one by one fled the place.
The gang leader was confused, he also panicked in fear, what if something happened to the girl? But he was also too afraid if he had to go into the river where the sky was already overcast, the rain must have fallen very large. Not even a drop of water hit his skin but his mind was making it up, he was afraid of drifting in the river and carried away by the current somewhere. Plus his friends who had run away in a mess left him because they did not want to be blamed.
Suddenly a scream shocked him. "Woi, what are you doing?!"
The gang leader was surprised not to play, he did not even bother anymore. Without looking, he went in a storm like a mad dog. While Arista who was struggling had reached the middle of the river to take his bag.
"Arista, what are you doing?!" screamed the man who shouted.
"Bag me. I'm gonna go get my bag!" arista replied after turning his head and found Arya already on the river's lips.
"Geez, what are you doing! How can your bag be there?" arya panicked.
Then without warning the rain fell so hard.
Arista's head started to heat up, how not, he panicked to the maximum. He was afraid of the river overflowing and dragging him. Before all that happened, with all his might he grabbed his bag, but I don't know what he stepped on, he slipped and fell. The water that was only waist-deep now devoured the entire body of Arista.
Arya who saw the incident was very panicked. He threw his bag into the grass and thoughtlessly entered the river, deftly he got Arista who was breathing hard.
Arya's whole body was wet after entering the river and exposed to rain.
He swiftly grabbed Arista's bag, then carried Arista on his back. And took the girl to the edge with the bag she hooked around her neck. It was very nauseous because the bag strap was broken he was forced to wrap it around the neck and bite the end of the rope so as not to fall back. Not to mention he had to look up to be able to see the road as a result of his face in pain hit by the sharp rain because it was so swift.
He was careful not to slip until they were both pushed aside safely.
Arista came down from Aryan's back. His face looks pale. He must have been shocked by the fall.
"You ain't nothing? Is there a wound?" arya asked while checking Arista's body.
Arista shook his head weakly. "Lu ain't nothing either, are you?" asked Arista not too kind. Because if it wasn't for Arya, it would somehow be her fate now.
Arya shook her feet to get water out of her shoes.
"Look we go home, the rain is getting heavier," asked Arya.
Arya also gave the bag on her neck earlier to Arista, then took her own bag that she threw into the grass. As he picked up the bag, how surprised Arya was to see that her watch was no longer beating.
"Uduuhhh died me!" arya's screams shocked Arista.
"Why? You got someone hurt, huh?" ask Arista worried.
"No, this.. My watch is dead aarrgghhh.." replied Arya frustratedly. "It was my papa's birthday gift yesterday" he said. Hearing that plus seeing Arya's chaotic face made Arista feel guilty.
Arista looked down so deeply. "I'm sorry because of my nolongin, you have to enter the river and make your watch so damaged," said Arista sad.
"It's okay. It is not your fault, it is also of my own will to go into the river," said Arya trying to calm down.
But Arista cried and shouted to Arya's surprise.
"Yaiya is your own fault why you have to go into the river of everything! That's why people don't like to interfere!" snapped Arista as he pleased with the flowing tears mixed with the rainwater.
After saying that, Arista ran up the road to the highway. He just left Arya who was stuck in her place because she was confused why she was the girl who was angry.
Tomorrow. Arya goes to school as usual, but she can't find Arista on her desk. Was he sick from the rain yesterday? But strangely there is no evidence at all. Not even a sick letter or permission from Arista received it. Therefore, the absentee officer stated the alpa in his attendance book.
Strange, thought Arya.
If he doesn't get sick, where does he go until he goes to school?
Is he ashamed to see me because of yesterday? He should be worried instead of embarrassed, obviously he went so without seeing me have gone up the road or not. What if the river suddenly got big before I went up and nothing happened to me?
Then why is he even angry with me? Ah, that's not right, it's a kid!
Wait for. Or.. is it possible that he is afraid that I will ask for compensation for my broken watch huh?
Waita minute!
Jeezoo.. Is it possible that he switched schools because of bullies yesterday? Ah, poor that girl.
All the questions overlapped with Arya's mind, leaving her unfocused that one day.
All of those questions were answered the next day.
Arista entered the class with his face attached as usual. Not sad, not sad, not happy. Yeah, just mediocre.
But after passing through the door he did not go directly to his desk, but to Arya's table.
Arya who was confused put on an awkward smile. "Why didn't you come in yesterday?" ask Arya pleasantries even though she is actually very curious. In his heart he was grateful, apparently Arista did not move.
"Gu-gue.." said Arista, "nih!" the girl put something on Arya's desk. A black box. Their classmates who had earlier stolen a suspicious look at the two people began to cheer.
The noise from the whispers of the wind blurred throughout the class. Even people from other classes came along and peeked out of the window. They begin to spread rumors that Arya is rejected by Arista, and her fate is the same as Rikaz, the leader of a bad boy gang that bullied Arista yesterday. They even assumed that the contents in the box were a ring or a gold necklace.
"sorry about yesterday because I'm rusakin your hour, I mean. ekhmm.." Arista cleared his "clock," he said carefully correcting the way he called Arya. His heart was beating like one who was expressing love, but this gurgle was not due to such feelings, either, but because he was afraid that Arya would be angry and refused his blessing because Arista could not give the same watch for compensation to Arya.
"If the price is not worth your watch that was broken yesterday, but I can love the same," he said slowly without seeing Arya's face. Arista did not want Arya to find her face which she believed was blushing at this time. Because this is the first time he gives something to a guy even though Arya is not his girlfriend.
And he didn't know if his shyness was the same if he gave something to his girlfriend, because he had never dated at all
Arya who secretly hid her smile then opened Arista's gift box.
His friends who were struggling to see the contents of the box that turned out to be the clock then simultaneously changed assumptions. They switched the topic if it turns out Arya was not rejected Arista. But it was Arista who shot Arya with a watch.
The boisterous atmosphere, Arya who realized it immediately took her watch and put the object on her arm.
"It just so happens, because my watch is still needed so I can use this. Thanks to Ar!" arya said with a smile.
"I.iiya together, Ar!" kawab Arista, he was shocked as he said that. Their names are both AR!
What is this thought?! Arista's mind blared plus saw Arya's smile. His smile was so sweet that Arista's eyes were fixated as if time had stopped beating but his consciousness was immediately liquid when boisterous cheers blared in the entire class.
"Ulala.. PJ! PJ woy for the class," cried Maya the gossip.
"Uhh poor chick dating same son orkay nih yee!" the other mock.
"Ciee. ciee Arya love Arista, please!" connect another child again.
Arista gaped, unsure of what he heard. He told his body to ask Arya. But Arya just shrugged her shoulders not knowing.
Arista clenched his hands furiously.
"Udah do not be horrified, back there to the table you will be back again the teacher came," said Arya was calm even though her face was red.
Sure enough, Arista had not had time to speak again it turned out that the first subject teacher had come. The students who had been wandering and crowding were immediately busy heading to their respective desks. Also, students from other classes are in disarray towards their own classes.
Even though they have sat at their respective tables, they still whisper with their countrymen while occasionally glancing at Arya and Arista.
It makes Arista uncomfortable, he wants to have long ears that can hear what they are talking about him. Sometimes Arista thought to keep tuyul only.
Ett, but not for nyupang nyupang money, but so as to be a messenger for horrifying what they talk about while a little berjahili them because it is so upset.
I made it so that the men were also the tuyul to become spy like Detective Conan. Thought Arista.
Arista glanced at his compatriot, but his friend was the same. He seemed to deliberately quickly throw his face then pretended to pay attention to the teacher in front of the class as if he did not want to be asked.
They why the hell? It's strange.
