Clear sky, good weather. What a perfect day for a girl named Rara. Rara stood in front of the campus gate while sighing heavily. Today he plans to make a mission to express love to anyone even if not a loved one. His mission this time is to be an intermediary for people who want to express love.
Rara walks into the campus gate that reads faculty of dentistry. It was seen a group of students blowing colorful balloons and tying balloons to a small rope. A student who was Rara's junior approached her.
"Sister Rara, the surprise is about to begin" said the junior.
"really? who?" ask Rara.
" Medical students will express love for dental students.
"Where's the place?" ask Rara
Junior had Rara follow him. Then one of the other Junior asked Rara to bring him a balloon. Rara picked up all the balloons and walked in the direction of the junior. And when Rara arrived at the basketball court, Rara saw that there was no one there. Only Rara was accompanied by the colorful balloon she was holding.
Suddenly came several people while holding the same balloon. They all surround Rara, making Rara unable to see her surroundings. Rara was confused by what happened. Then someone came touching both shoulders and then kissed her forehead. The men shouted happily and released balloons flying into the sky.
One year ago..
Rara stood up while looking at the billboard that wrote Valentine's Day 2021. With large glasses worn even brackets attached to his teeth, he did not look very fond of it. he saw other students were busy preparing a valentine celebration.
" I hate this show". Rara said in her heart.
The event, which takes place almost every year, makes Rara not like it let alone there are students who express feelings of love to loved ones.
As Rara stood looking at the people around her, a junior approached her.
"Sister, why are you standing here? Prepare a surprise for the next. Come on!" junior said while pulling Rara's hand.
Rara stood in the middle of the hall. This Valentine's Day is for those who dare not profess their love. They will ask the committee for help to provide a special surprise for people who want to express love according to the theme they want. And Rara is the one who also helped to succeed the event. Maybe for everyone this show is great. Not for Rara, though. Rara entered this community due to the insistence of her seniors. If not urged maybe Rara would not want to be a member of that community.
Rara stood in the middle of the Hall, in front of her was already a couple. From the right side of the guy came to bring flowers accompanied by his boy friend. Similarly, from the left side the girl was blindfolded with a cloth and accompanied by some friends. Rara who stood up looked very upset.
As the couple stood up, the girl opened her blindfold. Romantic music was also played. The boy with the flowers in his hand, then sang a romantic song.
"Huh! the creeps!" rara said grouchily in her heart.
I saw a romantic scene in front of him. Rara thought if she never had the opportunity to feel the same way in her life. For Rara, she was like the deepest, backmost molars. People may think that teeth are strong. Apparently not, the tooth lives under the gums. Just waiting for time to become the wisdom tooth, it will grow without its opponent. Rara becomes a useless person, who is just waiting to be revoked. For Rara herself is worthless. Friends don't have a lover. Rara was upset, why did her brother not share her good looks and intelligence for this sister.
Rara recalls the memories of High School, when she overheard her classmates saying that they had not found anything good in Rara compared to her brother. Even they did not hesitate to praise his brother was a charming man. That was the reason Rara did not want to have friends. For Rara, she was just a joke to her classmates. His classmates even talked bad things about him. Even many of them approached Rara, because Rara was kind to them and had a handsome brother. Some of them approach Rara just because they use Rara's intelligence. It makes Rara emotional and quarrel with her classmates. The reason that makes Rara does not understand how to socialize. Even with his evil classmates say that Rara is someone who is bad and often does strange things. Which makes the heartache when they say that Rara has nothing good in her life, except her brother.
What happened in High School changed Rara's life. Rara no longer believed in the people around her. Even in Rara's mind the smile they gave was just a fake smile. Even Rara is afraid to show her true feelings, even when she wants love, friendship and support from others.
How dramatic! that was how Rara thought about her life story. Rara was still standing looking at the romantic scene ahead.
" ck! surprises and romantic songs".Rara is upset in her heart.
There was even a scene where the person who irrigated the girl started sprinkling rose petals towards them.
Rara chose the dead hall, rather than having to linger seeing the romantic drama in front of her. Rara intended to go home, but it rained heavily. Forced Rara had to remain standing in front of the entrance of the hall.
"Rain in february? everything is crazy! how can I get an umbrella to go home?" rara said annoyed.
The most annoying when he stood waiting for the rain to subside, some people in pairs passed him by breaking through the rain with one umbrella together. Seeing that Rara was annoyed, and wanted to push them down to the ground. Rara raised her hand to the rainwater and looked up.
"The sun is beginning to be seen. The rain might stop soon". Rara said to herself.
However, for an hour the rain did not stop. Rara could not hide her upset face.
" Hey, don't rain!" said a guy from behind.
Rara turned her head quickly, unaware that her glasses had fallen off. The man approached her with an umbrella. The guy picks up Rara's fallen glasses and dresses her up to Rara. Making Rara see clearly the face of the guy in front of her.
"You can get sick" said the man in front of him.
Rara clearly saw the man's sweet smile for her. Makes Rara feel wrong.
"You're going home, huh?" ask the guy.
"I'll take you to the bus stop". Said the guy again.
Those words ring in Rara's ears, making Rara continue to look at the man's face in front of her. The guy opens an umbrella, then pulls Rara close to him.
"Come on!" said the guy.
It made Rara's heart beat fast.
At the bus stop, the rain had stopped.
"I. I. thank you". said Rara smiling shyly.
"Sama-sama". said the man.
Then the guy took the love sticker in his pants pocket and then put the sticker on Rara's shirt.
"Happy Valentine's Day.
"All right, I gotta go, see you later". The man said with a smile and walked away from Rara.
Rara just smiled.
"So it's like falling in love at first sight".
