Love to Aruna

CUA S2 - Chapter 18

Right now Aruna just wanted to calm her mind. Without asking Bram's permission first, Aruna intends to go to meet Aunt Novi at the minimarket. Perhaps meeting his family could lessen the burden of his mind a little.

By using online taxi services, Aruna is now on the way to the destination. After ordering a taxi from the app, Aruna deactivated her phone. Intentionally, so that no one would try to contact her. Including Bram.

I don't know why Aruna was upset. Until now, Bram still can not be assertive. Always take everything for granted.

Thinking about the incident earlier, made Aruna upset. Although it was not Bram's fault, Aruna still felt annoyed with his attitude.

Now Aruna has arrived at his destination. Aunt Novi is behind the cashier's desk. As soon as Aruna came, she took another chair for Aruna to sit down.

"Sit down Run." Aunt Novi.

Aruna sat down. Accompany Aunt Novi at the cashier's desk.

"Om Heru where's Tan?" ask Aruna.

"Magain done - done in the warehouse. Since Bram renovated the Auntie stall, Om mu immediately stopped narik ojek. He helps more often - help Auntie here."

"Alika?"

"Alika again on campus. Why are you here? Has your husband been allowed yet?"

Aruna shook her head weakly.

"Okay, Aunt will not be responsible if your husband is angry. You know what your husband is like."

"I'm a little upset with Bram."

"Loh, why? Are you guys fighting again?"

Aruna nodded weakly. Aunty Novi is less updated or how. When there is news that is more viral he even misses this info.

Some minimarket customers are gossiping. His voice is very clear.

"This is Mona, the popular artist? Who's the same kiss again?" said a customer.

"Say that's her boyfriend. Bulls huh? I think they fit in." Says another customer.

It felt like Aruna wanted to stuff their mouths right then and there. How unsettling. But whatever the power, Aruna can only listen to make these ears hot.

Aruna was still reluctant to move from her place until the afternoon. He helps Aunt Novi keep the cashier, as long as Aunt Novi is out for a while.

Set the office hours. Rama took a long step out of the building towards the parking lot. A moment later, his car drove across the streets of the capital which began to be crowded crowded with various types of vehicles.

Inexplicably, Rama was eager to hear more about Dicko and Aruna. For that, after the office he intends to meet Aunt Novi. Because Aunt Novi can be invited to chat. And he can find out a lot of things from Aunt Novi. Hope so.

Once he arrived at the minimarket Aunt Novi, Rama pretended to buy mineral water. At the checkout table, he did not find Aunt Novi. The cashier's desk is empty.

Why empty? Because Aruna crouched down for a while to pick up something that fell.

Rama looked to frown his forehead. Reversing his body, then sweeping his gaze in search of others who might be able to fill the cashier. When we arrived - there was a familiar voice.

"Sir, is this all your groceries?"

Sontak Rama immediately turned to face the cashier. His smile expanded instantly upon seeing who was behind the cashier's desk.

Arunas.

While Aruna was so surprised to see who was now standing before him. Staring at him with a smile engraved on his face.

"We meet again. Coincidence." While staring fixedly in Aruna's eyes.

And the action of staring at each other can not be avoided.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes ...

Mutely. With eyes still intertwined. Staring at each other deeply and deeply. It brought out a strange vibe in the hearts of both of them.

Rama's gaze looked at every curve of the sweet face that was always present in his dream. The one that always comes arrives - arrives in his memory. Makes his heart beat and makes his heart hammer.

"Run, I'm sorry Aunt went over." Fun Aunt Novi who just arrived. And so surprised when he saw Rama looking at each other with Aruna.

"Aruna ..." while gently patting Aruna's shoulder.

Aruna was shocked. Then hurriedly shifted his eyes. Same with Rama.

Aunt Novi can understand why Aruna looked at Rama like that. Because until this moment, Aruna has not been able to forget the figure of Dicko.

"May I have a minute?" pinta Rama is on Aruna.

I don't know what Aruna should say. Because honestly, he needs a friend right now. A friend who can listen to her. A friend who can share his grief. The only one present is Rama.

Aruna looked down languidly. With a blank look. His mind began to look far away. Although now there is Rama beside him who is watching him carefully.

"The news must have disappointed you and hurt." Rama began.

Aruna was just listening. Reluctant to respond.

"Don't think too much about what people say. Believe in your heart. And convince yourself that all will be well." Added Rama.

The viral news was also known by Rama. And for some reason, Rama seemed to be able to feel what Aruna was feeling right now.

Rama was silent for a moment. Waiting for Aruna to say something. But all that was heard was a sobbing that was held back. Rama also looked.

The tears had fallen and washed down Aruna's face. Instantly made his heart tremble. It was as if Rama could not bear to see Aruna crying.

Slowly Rama's hand began to stretch out. Trying to calm him down with a gentle touch on his shoulders. But again - again, somehow Rama felt he had been in this position before. Calm this woman's heart while she's sad. A flash of shadow - the shadow twisted back in his memory. Saman.

"You can make me a friend to share your grief. I'll make sure I'm always there for you." Rama.

But the tears were getting louder with sobs held back.

"Hiks ... Hicks ... Hicks ..."

"cry. Cry as much as your heart. Cry until your heart is relieved." Said Rama while gently stroking Aruna's shoulder.

"I miss him so much." Said Aruna softly in between her sobs. Every word of Rama reminds Aruna of Dicko. A figure that is always there for him at times like this.

What makes Aruna sad is not the viral news. At times like this, he misses Dicko. A person who is no longer there for him.

"Him?" then he pulled back his hand that was stroking Aruna's shoulder.

Aruna raised her face. Then he looked up, looking at Rama. With tears still breaking.

Instantly, Rama's feelings became unfazed. There was a sense of pity but his heart was pounding - thumping as he stared at the look in those eyes. Aruna looked at him.

"Who is he?" ask Rama

"People who look like you. Very similar."

Rama's stunned. Looking more and more inward. Staring at Aruna in a very close distance like this increasingly made his heart pounding.

It felt like Rama was hugging him tightly. But he can still hold back. Enough to be near him, looking at him like this had made his longing go untreated. A longing that was somehow present just like that in his heart.

.

Meanwhile, Bram repeatedly contacted Aruna's cell phone. But the result is the same. Nonactive. Bram was getting more anxious for him.

Bram was already looking for Aruna in his room, but the room was empty. Even Bram has asked Shanti and Teddy. They both don't know where Aruna is.

Then Bram called Aunt Novi. It's possible that Aruna went to her aunt's place to get rid of her saturation. However, the result is the same. Aruna had been to her aunt's place, but had been home since.

Bram finally wants to call her back. Until suddenly - a message came in from an unknown number that made Bram stunned. Inflamed at once.

The message contained a picture of Aruna and Rama sitting together in the park. In the mode of staring at each other. The next message contains the address where they are currently together.

Without waiting for a long time, Bram immediately rushed over. By running towards his car, then drive the car at high speed.

Once in the park, Bram sees Aruna still with Rama. Still in the mode of staring at each other. The fire of anger within him was burning again. Bram can't let this happen.

Bram slowly walked over.

"Aruna ..." call Bram lirih.

Aruna and Rama turned their faces away. Staring at Bram who was standing in front of them with a face that was difficult to understand.

"Since I've been looking for you everywhere." Bram said softly while trying to hold back his mounting anger.
