LOVE NARA

17 SCRATCHES WOUND

Nara's popularity kept her very busy. It only took 3 months after the novel circulated in the market of famous bookstores in Jakarta. Many invitations came from various TV stations, radio and some writing communities who requested the presence of Nara as a guest star and source.

Tiring days for Nara. I never thought I could be a famous writer. Everything could be an idea for him to write.

Nara is very productive in making the strands of words into an interesting story. A new novel has been brought back.

The novel has been circulating in the market of famous bookstore exchanges in various provinces in Indonesia. Awesome ... , everyone who reads his writing can get carried away in the mood of the author of this romance.

Along with the success of Nara became a writer. There is someone who faithfully becomes her lover. Arif, the man's name.

Arif felt more distant from the figure he loved.

One afternoon at dusk approached the night. Arif and Nara meet at a cafe on Jalan Kenari. Rain Rinai was always present when the two of them made an appointment to meet.

It's not the fault of the rain. Not the rainy season is still a drizzle present to accompany these lovers. Sitting casually together like this is rarely their lakoni. Given the busyness that takes both of them time.

"Nara ... , I'll be graduating in 2 months. Around the end of august. I have to go back to Bengkulu. Will you follow my return or stay in Jakarta? " said Arif while enjoying a dish of seafood fried noodles.

"I want to be able to come home with you. But there are a lot of work contracts that I want to complete first, " replied Nara while eating her order seafood fried noodles.

"Maybe early next year I'll go home. While I was in Jakarta first, " said Nara back.

"I want to propose to you in front of your parents Nara. I want us to get married, " said Arif as he stared fixedly at Nara's eyes.

"Fast that ..., "nara's mouth choked on hearing Arif's statement arriving - arrived.

"Do you not want to marry me ! " said Arif slowly.

"You .. but not so fast, " said Nara a little lie. It was inevitable for him to get married that fast especially with Arif.

Nara and Arif were silent to each other. Both drowned in their own daydreams. Nara has too many ambitions. There are many things that have not been accomplished in his life.

Nara wants to see Angga and Dina ravage her love affair. It felt unsatisfied that his heart had witnessed the breakdown of their relationship. It is too cruel for a friend to want to see his friend suffer. No why after all Nara just pretended to be friendly with Dina.

They both remained silent for a long time. Until finally Arif started the conversation.

"No why. I'll always wait for you, Nara ? " the voice of Arif.

Nara just smiled bitterly. There was a tickle of pain that was scratched in his heart. His heart was not willing to replace the figure of Angga with someone other than him.

Drret ... drett ....

The sound of vibrating Nara's mobile phone vibrates. Someone called Nara.

"Assalamualaikum, "the voice of the woman on the other end of the phone.

"Greetings, " answered Nara.

"Mbak afternoon. I am Dara from Ikapi Jabar. Book Fair will be held on July 27 in Bandung. Ma'am was invited as a guest star at the book review meeting of Ara Dilla. "

"Late next month. Ma'am, I asked to be sent a draft proposal for the show. Let me learn first. God willing I can be on the show, " replied Nara.

"Yes, I'll send you the draft. Thanks before. Assalamualaikum, "Dara ends her phone.

"Waalaikum salam. " Nara then opened the agenda of her activities on her mobile phone. End of July last week. There seems to be no schedule of activities.

This June, Arif is on college holiday. But he did not want to go back to Bengkulu. He wants to always accompany Nara while in Jakarta. I can't leave her lover alone. In 2 months he will graduate. And that ... means he will return to Bengkulu. His study assignment is over.

"Nara ! we go home yuk, "let Arif break Nara's concentration.

" Yes, " answered Nara. Then came the sound of Adzan magrib reverberating. After Arif paid the food bill to a cashier who had earlier stolen a look at Nara.

After Arif paid the pay off at the cashier cafe. Arif and Nara leave the cafe. Before their feet out of the cafe door. The ma'am intercepted his second footsteps. "Mbak .. wait ! I'm sorry, mbak whose name is Ara Dilla ya !! " said the cashier half-screaming gasping for breath chasing Nara and Arif. He holds a book, a novel.

Nara and Arif then turned around

"Yes, I'm Ara Dilla."

"Alhamdulillah, this is true, Ara ! I'm a big admirer of the novel that I made, "he said while showing Nara's novel.

Nara sees the novel in the clutches of the cafe cashier. "Thank you, yes ! I read the novel." Nara then smiled at her smile.

"Mbak .. I want to ask for his autograph, "he said as he handed Nara the novel. Nara took the novel. He put the book on one of the cafe tables. Then he put his signature and pen name on the novel on paper after the cover of the novel.

Not playing fun at the cafe's cashier. He thanked Nara a lot. Nara also endlessly thanked the cashier cafe who had bought her book. Not many people today are diligent in buying books.

Then Nara and Arif return to their respective boarding houses. They split up at a crossroads. Waving goodbye hands.
