Meet Up the Match

8: FRIENDS OR?

The arrival of a girl with such a cheerful appearance, made Aira smile thinly. The girl looked happy to finally be able to see her friend who came after waiting for quite a long time. Well, today Aira made a deal with Lia's Junior High School friend because the friend continued his education to the High School level so they rarely met. You can only spend time together when you are not busy.

Aira closed the book, then moved while stretching out her hands. "It's ok, I just waited a minute too." A warm hug releases a pent-up sense of longing for some time.

As soon as the hug comes off. Lia turned to look at the young man who stood looking at the happiness of a pair of old friends. "By the way, who are you? Rara's friend or boyfriend?"

"You're talking crazy!" A sharp eye stared at Lia. So the newly arrived girl was grinning the horse with an innocent face. ''He, Alex. My sitter's in the park."

Aira's original reply suddenly made Lia chuckle. It's funny to hear a cold girl suddenly get upset. The face dislike clearly changed the atmosphere to be uncomfortable but that was no reason to feel burdened with guilt. After all he was just asking and not corrupting. Aye, right?

"Me, Alex." The young man thrust his hand at Lia who was warmly welcomed.

"Lia. Why are you here? Do you know Aira?" lia asked without hesitation without letting go of her hand. He was trying to find out what happened because it is not usually the friend wants to be close to a man.

Not that the disorder just keep the distance. Especially about men because for Aira life is not a love story, but the task of making both parents happy. So do not be surprised when the girl always chooses to be busy reading books, rather than going to play just looking for entertainment with friends.

Alex momentarily fell silent, glancing at Aira. "Yes, I know your friend this one but it's always a place of silence."

"What a pity, Rara, what are you people's children?" Lia laughed crisply in response to Alex's confession. He knew the outcome of the opposite sex friendship for an Aira. "Darling, sweet smile. Why the ice face? Seriously not good to see."

Lia tried to persuade Aira even though she knew that she was not even considered to be ignored by her friend. At least he tried. Aye, right? Moreover, seeing Alex is also a quiet young man so it is difficult to describe. Especially near. Can you have more of a relationship than a friendship?

Aira chose to sit back, "Why do you want me to do it? So jokers or clowns?"

"Ra, you are this ... Huft, patient Lia. Your friend this one is rare. Inget the triangle formula guidelines so that you can do PR later tonight." muttered Lia monologue to herself while rubbing the chest to get back to calm.

Alex is just trying to understand the situation because he is like in the middle of two opposing natures. Aira was cold and Lia was jolly. The two girls were like one two-sided coin fused together without any sense of heart burden. Lia who noticed Alex's silence. He was aware of the confusion of the young man.

"Ra, I'm going there first." Lia pointed to a shop, "You buy drinks. What pesen are you? Let's not buy it all, but let Alex be with me. Mager wants to walk alone."

Aira bodo very but glances at the glance eyes staring at the friend. "Hmm, whatever. Turn around quick or I'll go home."

The sound that was heard was clearly a form of threat. Unfortunately Lia did not want to take a headache other than to say whatever Aira said. Without delaying time, he codes for Alex to come with him. Where the young man was confused. In the midst of hesitation, his hand had already been pulled without excuse.

Alex just kept quiet and walked in Lia's footsteps. The journey was not long before the interrogation. Where the girl without hesitation asked the relationship that existed between the young man and Aira.

"What are you doing near Rara? Are you just friends? Because Aira didn't tell me that she had another new friend, so when did you guys become friends?" Lia looked to the side looking at Alex solemnly. While the one who was looked at confused felt awkward.

"That's yeah? I suggest you find another girl. Besides being mental, I'm afraid you'll face Aira. He is unique with unpredictable characters. So it can be said to be complicated." Lia honestly said the truth that Alex must know.

A friend's statement about his friend sounds so clear. Does the heart not understand or what? He was confused himself even more not knowing what to do especially. Intentions only wanted to get closer to Aira because the girl had managed to tease her peace of mind all along.

Alex's silence makes Lia stop. Then he stared at the direction of Aira who was busy reading the novel. "Look at the girl! If you can't afford to be ignored, then it's free to approach my friend. She was not an ordinary girl so one had to be as strong as iron with the confidence of the heart in order to enter the cold girl's simple life. That time I don't understand?"

"Trus, how would you like to understand what Aira said? He only spoke once not like an ordinary person, but full of puzzles. Not just the focus needed because it understands the meaning and purpose into two different paths." Lia resumed her journey until she reached the store, then picked up a drink. Then paying, when he wanted to leave he saw Alex pensive.

Alex is still busy with his thoughts, while Lia just leaves. The girl did not want to break the contemplation that could be a determinant of the future. He knows Aira. Well it is only natural to make things easier for the common good.

"Ra, drink this and your book let me read it." He poured a bottle of strawberry flavored drink while taking over a novel book that tells the story of a fantasy world. "Harry Potter? It's still your favorite thick book. Don't you want to try horror or comedy?"

Aira took the drink, then opened the bottle cap without any difficulty. "Hm. That's your question, I don't have to answer. Just tell me, how was your school? What a bus that up to three weeks can only meet with friends." Every now and then He wants to tempt Lia as a form of longing.

"Hooh, I myself was surprised by the long schedule that looked like that little snack. Sorry for being really busy." Lia replied saying how the state of the school that did take all the time to adapt to the new environment.

Aira nodded her head in understanding. It was only natural that Lia had a busy life, whereas she could only stay home after school. The two chatter punctuated with laughter. Unknowingly forgetting Alex who was still drowning in doubt mixed with shame. The young man was jolted back into the real world when he heard the babbling sound of a passing child.

Alex, who had regained consciousness, remained quietly standing in his place. The gaze of the eyes stared from a distance how Aira who suddenly became so warm even her attitude was not cold to Lia. He had no idea what they were talking about just seeing Aira laugh. It was so different when I talked to him. Is what Lia said all true?

Time passes so fast. It did not feel like four in the afternoon, making Aira invite Lia to come home together. The two girls still enjoy being together in the park. Unexpectedly they cross paths with Alex who turns silent sitting on the sidewalk of one corner of the parking lot.

Aira was still silent and chose to go take her bike which happened to be a bit far away, while Lia approached Alex just wanted to reprimand. "Alex you haven't come home yet? Kirain was already from earlier."

"Not yet, it's still here. You guys want to go home, right? How about if I just take it with me." half-jokingly bargained, making Lia smile knot.

The girl shook her head softly, "No need because there is still something about me. We want to bike before we go back home."

"Well, if I may ask your friend's number. Can't you?" alex asked doubtfully but honestly had no other ideas. He did not expect more but Lia asked her phone to write something without a word.

The phone was returned, "That's my number. Just save it and I'll try to ask Aira. It's a long time ago, Aira came." Lia rushed over to Aira who was getting closer. The footsteps of the two left the park like each other until they came out of the gate.

Staring at the line of digits of numbers that he did not expect. If it was Aira's number, it would have been a happy day after knowing the name of the girl worship as time has passed. But what can be done at this time only remains patient without having to force a change in wind direction.
