Meet Up the Match

Part 11#Three Months

After that day. The two men learn to understand each other. Especially Aira who tried to open her heart to accept Alex's presence. The girl did not deny that her attitude was always the same and even difficult to change, while the young man slowly understood what the character of the lover was like. Slowly there was a bit of warmth between the two of them.

Three months have passed from the day of the decision to undergo a relationship with the names of lovers. Alex gradually began to melt Aira's heart and all that did not escape the help of Lia. The friend of his lover who always gives advice on how to be patient with the cold girl. Moreover, he was a quiet young man so he had to change his nature first.

Today eager to enjoy time with his girlfriend, he sent a message to Aira so they could meet in the park.

[Rara, let's go to the park today.]~ the contents of the message that was sent immediately successfully.

[Hmm, ok.]~reply Aira was brief and it was already not strange anymore for Alex.

[I picked it up, yeah. What time is it at the park?]~ask Alex to be able to prepare.

[Stand by three hours or cancel.]~reply Aira again with threats as usual because it does not like to waste time.

The ringing sound of a cell phone indicating an incoming message was ignored, then he spoke to his mother again. Wherever he will go is always permission first, especially now the two are talking about the work that has just been offered by someone. It's just that the job is out of town.

So for the next week is his last time in town. That's why he accepted Alex's invitation to meet because during the two of them dating only has a few places that become meeting destinations. The mother even gave leniency to gather with friends on condition that she knew who was taking her daughter away.

In the afternoon Alex picked up Aira at home for a time deal but was immediately greeted by Sonia's mother. The beloved mother is friendly to anyone because she considers all of Aira's friends as her own children. A warm attitude brings comfort from the heart. Honestly, he really wants to have a family that loves each other and not create.

Alex knocked on the door while breathing in, "Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumsalam, son Alex. Come in, Aira's still getting ready." The open door of the house made Sonia's mother invite Alex without having to walk over, then she asked the young man to sit first.

Then Sonia's mother went back inside just to tell Aira that Alex was waiting. Even though from inside the room had heard the voice of the greeting of the girlfriend. Moreover, his mother's request just wanted him not to come home the night. Of course, everything will be obeyed because it is his duty. Without prejudice to respect all will be as the Mother expected.

Aira tidied up her bag, then walked over to Sonia's mother. "Yes, Mom. Aira is not a kemaleman. It's just going to the book park as usual. So I don't worry because your daughter must be home on time."

Alex and Aira go to the park. The two should be in tails that erode the distance. Sometimes the journey is only used as an excuse by the young man to be close to the idol of his heart. That kind of thing is natural, right? Love in the heart can not deny who will be anchored to whom. Like the story of those who are shrouded in tension between learning to understand each other.

At the park Aira chooses to go to the swing and Alex follows. The two played a swing for a while before looking for a comfortable seat. Then Aira asked her lover to be serious even though in the heart still had doubts over what she would say.t had already gotten a comfortable place. The two hands were interlocked with slightly sour faces.

"Alex, I want to say something but maybe this is not good news for you" Aira said, making Alex look at him unblinkingly. "One week I leave for the city as a servant. You can focus on school and don't play."

Alex is shocked by Aira's confession. Suddenly the news smothered my chest. Actually what happened so that the idol wants to work outside the city. He knew Aira was no longer in school, but did she have to find sustenance in another city? Not in the city itself. Moreover, the news was sudden, and if you think about it again the value of the national exam results of the lover can register at the favorite High School.

Alex doesn't know much about Aira's life despite being her boyfriend. Confused by the decisions the lover makes. Where the girl asserts whatever her life choices are has become the final decision. There is no way to step back.

Alex was silent for a moment trying to digest the situation. After he calmed down, he grabbed the hand of the girl sitting in front of him. "I'll agree on your decision, then what's our relationship?"

"The future nobody knows. We can only let it flow like water. Don't make a cliff that could collapse because the distance is enough to separate the body." replied Aira poetically who made Alex scratch his head.

"You're always with a puzzle. Aira, you know if I don't understand what you say like a poet." Alex replied a little annoyed.

Aira didn't want to explain, she knew only a few people could understand her. "Sometimes you'll understand, Lex. I hope you keep smiling as usual. Live life as the sunshine gives new hope."

A serious conversation ends with a joke that can unravel the tension. Although Alex is often made dizzy with Aira's answer. The young man loved his girlfriend more than anything. It didn't feel like time was passing so fast that a week had passed. Aira sets out out of town to start a new life in the workforce.

The journey that took eight hours using the travel bus made the girl sit pensively while staring out the window. At first glance, memories reappear passing by greeting solitude. Three days before his departure Alex invited him to play at home. But the welcome from Alex's mother was not friendly.

He had no idea what his mistake was until the middle-aged woman whom Alex called mother chose to leave the house. When he came to visit. Alex, feeling unwell, tries to distract himself by showing some of the rooms in his house. A house with a minimalist design that has land behind the house with a bathroom outside.

During some time of the visit, the mother of Alex returned home but at that time she paid to the bathroom and so wanted to go into the living room. He overhears a debate between mother and child. It's clear that their relationship is being challenged for an understandable reason that Alex is still in school.

Mother Alex looked at her son sadly, "Is she the reason you're always out of the house? You are still in school and you dare to bring a girl. What do you want to be my son."

"Mother, she has a name. Called Aira. Alex loves him because he is good even for the sake of parents ready to work and leave his education." Alex said defending Aira. Actually he knows the reason the lover accepted the job outside the city because Lia told of Aira's life without anything being covered.

Mother Alex shook her head in surprise because Alex was getting harder to control and all that must be because of the influence of the girl who just entered into the life of the son. "Mother doesn't like the girl. If you want blessing, look for something else. The girl who can equate her education with yours."

"Mother, she's smart even if she doesn't continue her education, she's smart." Alex tries to give his mother an understanding so as not to judge a person just like that. Unfortunately all were considered past winds.

The mother's silence led Alex out of the room. The gaze of the eyes was aghast as soon as I saw the existence of Aira who was already sitting sweetly in the living room. A sweet smile and without hesitation asked for permission to leave. Of course, it must say goodbye to the mother of the homeowner as a form of politeness.

On the way Aira just fell silent, making Alex who noticed it chose to stop the bike. He asks Aira to come down and join him for a short walk in a small park near the army dorm area. The atmosphere was quiet even though there were still some small children playing ball sent the two men sitting on one of the park benches.

"What's wrong with you, honey?" The look in his eyes looked at Aira seriously. The girl's gloomy face was really unusual.

Aira returned Alex's gaze while smiling faintly, "Do you love me?"

"Why are you asking like that? Is something bothering you? Say it!" Hand touching Aira's chin. He forced the girl to look back at him.

Aira let go of Alex's hand, then turned her attention to the children playing ball in a small field. "I'm fine, but your mother was right. We're not worth it. Do you understand where our relationship is going?"

"This means you heard everything my mother said. Aye, right? Aira listen to me carefully. My love is you and our family background will not affect anything. The love in the heart in your name is not about the difference in status that gets in the way of our relationship." Enclosed by interlocked hands, he saw the sadness that emanated from the gaze of the girl's eyes.

The cloudy atmosphere makes the moment more look upset. Suddenly the rain drops so fast that it forces the two men to move to the parking lot to shelter. Even the children immediately ran to disperse. Silent and silent greeting simultaneously.

Aira looked at Alex who was standing next to her. "Alex, can you forget our relationship for the sake of your happiness. Mother has more right and I don't want to make her sad just because of the presence of a girl like me."

Aira's statement was shocking. Suddenly he turned around, then returned the gaze of the girl's eyes who firmly uttered a thought that must have been heart-wrenching since a while ago. "I love you and that's enough for me to be the reason to hang out with you."

The gaze of the eyes deepened, making the young man bring his face closer to Aira. Raised hand touching the chin of the heart. Let him fight each other deeper and deeper until a drop of tears fell down Aira's cheeks. Seeing the deep sadness of the lover. The young man clasped the body that this time was silent without rebellion.

For the first time. The touch of the two men is more than just holding hands which usually always get a reprimand. Although there is no reply. Alex could feel Aira's body needed her support. Hugs released with eyes still intertwined.

A gentle touch suddenly touched the lips that were acquainted with each other. Alex unlicensed steals Aira's first kiss. A kiss that dampens the taste in the heart. Both of them were late to enjoy the chewy sensation that distracts them until they realized they had given a sign of love as a farewell greeting.

Aira who was surprised by what just happened just asked to be escorted home without waiting for the rain to subside. Alex felt a little guilty, not the intention of doing that but the tears that drenched his cheeks made his heart hurt too.
