"What's up with him?"
The clouds wondered to themselves, while continuing to pay attention to some passing freight.
Of the few shuttles he checked, no one saw Ara's whereabouts. In fact, if calculated from the number of shuttles he was chasing, with the length of time when Ara boarded the freight, Awan was sure if he could still catch up to him.
But it seemed like he had not been able to get results, from the effort he had put in, to chase after Ara.
"Did Nanda... have you met Ara first?"
Now, the clouds think of another. She thinks that, Nanda has found Ara, and takes her home, before she comes and looks for her.
"I asked Abi, didn't I? afraid, Ara or Nanda have not returned, and Om Abi is more worried. Keep going, I how good is this?"
The clouds were confused as to what he would do next. He wanted to ask Abhimanyu, Ara's father, but Awan was also confused, with the reason he had to say, to find out, whether Ara was already home, or not.
He was really confused, with what he should have done.
"Call Om Abi no?" murmured Clouds, pondering, what should he do now.
But when the clouds were in a state of doubt, he saw the shadow of Ara, who was crouching, to fix the shoelaces.
Quickly, the Clouds ran towards the direction where Ara was. But unfortunately, it was not Ara. Only his posture alone was similar to Ara's.
"Eh, sorry Ma'am. I thought it was my friend," said Awan, when he found out that the girl was not the Ara she was looking for.
"Yes Mas. It's okay."
Taking a deep breath, Clouds returned to where his motorbike was, on the sidewalk, which was not far from the bus stop.
"Fra. Where are you?"
The Clouds muttered back, and confused himself, as he had yet to discover Ara's whereabouts.
While still in a state of confusion and anxiety, Cloud was surprised by the voice of someone, who greeted him from behind.
"Not the Cloud?"
Quickly, Cloud turned his head back as he felt that he recognized the voice of who was reprimanding him this time.
In the dimness of twilight that almost changed with night, the Clouds saw Ara, who was holding a Boba drink, which was trending as a slang drink at this time.
The clouds were still stunned, seeing the whereabouts of Ara, whom he had been searching for. And now, Ara was nearby, and Ara was also the one who rebuked her. That means, Ara who has found herself. So the opposite of the real thing.
"Sister. What are you doing?" ask Ara again, because the question that was, has not been answered also by the Cloud.
"Eh, emhhh. That, emhhh. I think I'm thirsty!"
Ara squeakingly looked at the state of the Clouds. Moreover, the answer given by the Clouds, also sounded nervous and uncertain. That means the clouds are lying.
"Don't want this? not yet Ara drinking coke," said Ara, offering Boba drinks that he held.
One hand Ara, the right, held a cup of Boba, while the other, the left hand, held a gift, which was in large plastic. Gift from Dika.
The cloud did not directly receive the glass, which Ara thrust at him. But he looked instead at the gift, which was in Ara's left hand.
"Where are you from?" tanya Awan, who thought that, Ara from the store or anywhere, to buy a gift, which she currently tote with plastic.
"From school, sister. Where did it come from?"
The answer given by Ara, made the Clouds confused.
"Usually with Nanda. Where's she?" asked Awan again, who pretended not to know, if Nanda was actually looking for his existence as well.
"Aren't you going to do this?"
The question asked by Ara, seemed to want to distract the Cloud, so as not to discuss about Nanda.
"Wanna go home?" asked Awan, with the intention to offer Ara, so that he would take her home.
"Ara's on the freight."
"Sister among Ra. Later mama worried, if you go home alone, by taking the transport."
The reason said by Awan, made Ara come to her senses, if she was not supposed to lash out with Nanda, which required her to go home alone.
In addition to the concerns felt by his mother, his attitude will make his cousin, Nanda, feel guilty, and do not dare to go home first, before finding his existence.
"They're home."
But before Ara walked away, heading to the bus stop, the Clouds pulled her hand. "Come Sister. Later Brother inter," said Awan, asking Ara to come home with him.
"But, it'll make Brother come home even more night." Ara rejected the offer, in a subtle way.
"No. Anyway, come with Brother, or Sister will ngadu to Om Abi, if you go home on public transport. Alone."
As it turned out, the threat uttered by the Clouds, made Ara to be doubtful as well as anxious. He could not possibly refuse his offer Awan again, if it was about the feelings of his mother and also his father.
Ara did not want to make her mother and father anxious, and worried, with her condition. Because all of this concerns her own safety, as a girl.
After thinking for a while, with all the considerations Ara thought about, she finally accepted the offer from Awan, who wanted to drive herself home.
Ara had no other choice.
Finally, Ara climbed onto the top of the Awan motorbike, without using a helmet for head safety.
"Sister. Ara don't wear a helmet?"
"Later Brother through the rat road, so that it is safe and not exposed to traffic police raids."
Ara also seemed to smile, with a sigh of relief. He did not feel worried anymore, because the Clouds could overcome everything.
"Drink it first," said Awan, who saw the Boba glass was still full, and had not had time to drink.
"So help you spend it!"
The cloud was wide open, hearing the words of Ara, who asked her to join her boba_drinking.
And it's true. After a few gulps, Ara handed her Boba glass, to the Clouds. He hopes that the Clouds also drink Boba_nya, so that it can run out faster.
"Let's drink, let's abis."
As there was no other choice, Awan received the glass, then drank it, using the same straw, which Ara had used for drinking.
Ara smiled happily, looking at the Clouds who drank her Boba_ as well.
While the clouds themselves, feel clumsy, after drinking. He did not dare to look at Ara, who was smiling to himself, as he managed to force himself to drink it as well.
"The plastic just put it here Ra," said Awan, pointing towards the handlebar of the motor.
"Ribet does not fit Brother megangin stang_nya?"
"So. Just be calm, be safe."
Soon enough, the motor sport Awan left where the two of them met, and decided to go home together.
"Hand Ra," said the Clouds, shouting, as he was already on his way.
Ara recalled the moment she, for the first time, climbed on top of a Cloud motorbike. Although at that time, Ara did not know, nor was she aware, that the person who was helping and hounding her at that time was the Cloud.
And only after a while later, Ara found out. If that person, who had helped him at that time was the Cloud, who he already knew as well.
