Love for Ara

Curhatan Aralia

Aralia stood in front of the glass window in her room. His eyes stared out of the building clearly saw the busyness out there. Red light with luxury cars lined up in its rows waiting for road time. Pedestrians, bridge users and more. The flickering lights add to the beauty of the night.

Ara approached the bed, laying her body there. Staring at a cell phone that has not rang for three days. During his time in Bali, he tried to contact Kesya several times. But the person in question can not be contacted, even Kesya who usually always ask the news or just ask has eaten or has never contacted him.

" why can't I call your phone......"

" are you okay...???"

" i miss you..."

THE CZECH...

Aralia looked up to see who opened the door, and David was standing there.

" Tu...sir, there's something I can help you with...???"

" may I come in..???"david asked, nodding back by her.?

" seeing that you arrived arrived moody after hearing my conversation with my two sisters made my heart uneasy..."

David walked towards the long sofa which was directly towards the outer window of the building. Aralia hurriedly woke up from her sleeping position to approach David. Now they were sitting side by side on the sofa looking out the glass.

Aralia's room lights are in off position. Aralia had deliberately turned it off because she was actually planning to sleep, but because the thought of Kesya made her eyes unable to be closed. The curtains that close the windows are left open. So that only a faint light from outside the window entered the room.

"it's good to hear someone worry about us, sir...!"

David turned his head to the side, looking at the girl who was looking straight ahead with a sad face.

" I grew up without my mother's affection, and my father, I only saw my father at night, and I had to endure sleepiness to see him smile and read me a storybook, only Kesya is always there.."

" But my father would go straight home and leave all the work to accompany me when he heard the news that I was sick, so that in every prayer, I asked God to give this body pain, that way my father will always be beside me...hehehe... strange person huh Mister..???"

Aralia looked at David, who was only met with a faint smile by the man.

" when I was 17 years old, the first time there was a man who was determined to declare his love, so far no one dared to express his feelings directly. When Junior High many men put their hearts but the next day they will run every time I come, like seeing a ghost... Therefore I am very happy that finally there is someone who pays attention and gives affection other than Kesya and father...."

" When I came home, Kesya was so angry that she knew I was dating. For Kesya the man is not a good man, but I can't believe it. Until exactly 2 days after bearing the status as the man's lover. There was someone who put a brown box on the doorstep with the words, "OPEN"... "

Aralia sighed....

" in the box I found a picture of him with a woman hugging and a flash drive containing their conversation about me. This face is ugly, to the man, to the man, I'm just a tool to get all her schoolWORK done on time..." Aralia smiled wryly as David remained faithful looking at that face and hearing his story

" with a face full of anger, I showed him the video, and you know sir, the man laughed, hehe..he said I was a stupid woman, who told me my face was ugly???, then I screamed there asking for a breakup, but the man just laughed not answering and just left..."

"The next day at school, I heard the man insulting me and told his friend that I was unworthy and our relationship was over. I went to the man, dragged him into class, hit him in the face and kicked him hard in the stomach..."

"Those who were there looked at me in wonder, maybe they thought I was a weak woman, if they knew Kesya was training me in martial arts, archery and even shooting..hehehe...!!!"

" All my sadness will be gone when my father hugs and hears my story, but it turns out that Dad also had to leave at the age of 18 years, I was already in college 3rd semester,...his death was even sad, his father was shot by someone while we were both walking down the street in the park, the bullet was aimed right at his head, he said, then dragged me into a big car and taken to a place I don't know where, but Kesya came there to save me.."

" According to the police investigation, they were the same people who shot Dad, they were upset that he had foiled a drug sale transaction that Dad was dealing with at the time"

" Since that incident Kesya was more overprotective, leaving and returning home he always intersected. Once I heard there was a vacancy in this office I immediately applied, I thought just a regular job, it turned out to be a secretarial vacancy. With a diploma that did not meet the standards I thought would be excluded but instead I was elected....hehehe..I'm great, aren't you???"

' clearly you were chosen, of all those who proposed you the ugliest, and also the SMARTest, but who would have thought it was all a hoax' David

Aralia's cheerful face is now back sad.The eyes are glazed glass looking down at the floor.

" You know, sir, I've always wanted to have both parents and a brother that I could fight with like you ...But everyone's gone and left me"

Aralia smiled looking straight ahead, without feeling her tears dripping down her cheeks.

" you know, Master. Kesya says when I'm 21, my life will be filled with love, the man who loves me will come, and all who love me will come back..."

" My life is like a fairy tale, sir.." Aralia chuckles small.

" will I be happy later, sir. Will all of Kesya's words be realized????" Aralia stared at the window.

' that's as hard as your life' David
