Early in the morning Aletta had woken up to do her routine activities if there were no courses. The girl looked at her reflection in the mirror before her. Grey T-shirt combined with matching colored trousers. Aletta also tied her long hair like a ponytail.
After it was felt that nothing was lacking in her appearance, Aletta immediately came out with her white shoes. At the end of the stairs, Aletta went to make sure her parents and brother were not there. It's nothing, if Aletta Ketawan want to run around the complex, surely his parents will bother themselves to provide drinks and food.
Of course Aletta was very lazy to bring food and drinks given by her parents. The drag was indeed, his parents were too excessive. Aletta only wanted to run around the complex, instead of running a long distance of 5 kilo meters.
Aletta put her shoes on the end of the stairs, then she stepped outside the door and closed it again. Aletta heaved a sigh of relief when she managed to come out without her parents' armour. He also started running around the complex. She smiles every now and then when she meets people on the street.
The cold air so gently hit his body. This is what Aletta likes when running in the morning blind, the cool and fresh air makes Aletta feel comfortable and free.
His eyes looked at the sky, then smiled. Living the hustle and bustle of lectures are dense and make it dizzy, became one of the reasons Aletta to be able to run for a moment during the holiday. Because he needed a moment of refreshing from the world that drained his brain.
"Aletta!"
Aletta stopped her running, then turned to face back. There he found a man waving his hand at him. Aletta smiled, she approached the man.
"Raka, you're off?" aletta asked while she was next to the tall guy.
Raka smiled, revealing her dimples that were so sweet and beautiful to look at. Aletta has always loved that smile, which she never gets tired of looking at.
"Gue again no courses, so I want to say stress to run around the complex. Lo himself?"
"Just like lo," Aletta replied.
Raka nodded small. "Jaudah we run away together," said Raka smiling knot.
Aletta smiled looking at Raka. Already since Aletta High School liked Raka, but she did not dare to say it. Because he was afraid that Raka would stay away from him. So Aletta would rather harbour her feelings, than she would have to lose Raka.
"Corn," said Aletta enthusiastically.
The two of them ran side by side throwing chatter at each other. For Aletta moments like this are very rare. His house with Raka's house is close, only different complexes. But the two who are busy with their respective affairs make them rarely meet. Therefore Aletta makes the best use of her time with Raka, because not necessarily she can be like this anymore.
Raka Alvaro Aditama's. The man who since High School adorned the days of Aletta. Raka who is a mature figure and also attention to everyone, managed to make Aletta's heart melt. But unfortunately since they graduated High School, Aletta rarely met with Raka again.
"Al, sit there first yuk." Raka pointed at the long chair in the complex park.
Aletta nodded, she stepped closer to the chair that Raka pointed at. Arriving there, Aletta sat right beside Raka. His hands were shaking his face.
"Lo tired huh? I'll buy you a drink first." Raka got up from the chair she was sitting in. But his hand was immediately blocked by Aletta.
"Then it's okay," hold Aletta.
Raka smiled towards Aletta. "Rabelle, Al. You just wait here, "he let go of Aletta's check and passed from the girl's front.
Behind Aletta smiled. Raka still cares like before, that guy hasn't changed one bit. If only he could have Raka completely, surely Aletta would be the luckiest person. But unfortunately it is only hope that will only be his imagination.
Raka returns with two bottles of cold water, giving one of them to Aletta. "Now, Al drink first." Raka handed him cold water, after which he sat down next to Aletta.
"Thank you, Ka." Aletta smiled sincerely.
Aletta gulped down her drinking water until she had half left. He felt very thirsty after running from there. He closed the lid of his cold water bottle and put it beside him. "Oh, we haven't seen you in a long time." Aletta opened the conversation.
Raka who had also just drank the cold water, put the water beside her. "Yes, it used to be high school we were classmates, often met too. Now since college we have rarely met."
Aletta smiled faintly. "Gue miss you, Ka." Aletta rounded her eyes as she realized her words.
I'm keceplosan. How's that lo, Al? what am I supposed to say now?, Inner Aletta.
Raka turned her head quickly, the guy flinching his eyes at Aletta.
Aletta laughed for a while. "I mean, I miss playing with you again. You're my friend" explained Aletta.
Raka laughed, his hands ruffled the tops of Aletta's heads. "Yes too, yeah. We're going to temen."
Raka's simple treatment, can make Aletta again full. I don't know why whatever Raka did, even though it was just a small thing, but it was able to shake his heart.
Aletta looked at Raka's sad eyes. In reality Raka just considers him a friend, even though Aletta wants more than that. Until whenever Aletta will still love alone, without love it is avenged.
"Al, are you daydreaming?" raka asked as she waved her hand in front of Aletta's face.
Aletta woke up from her daydream, quickly changing her facial expression. "No, I just didn't expect to see you."
"Lebay lo," Raka slapped onto Aletta's shoulder. "Our house is far away" he continued chuckling.
Again Aletta was made not to dwell with Raka. Raka's unconsciousness that her treatment of Aletta, could make her even more hopeful. It felt like Aletta wanted to cry, so painful to love alone.
"Ka, we go home yuk! I'm tired" Aletta said suddenly
Capek suffers his own pain, Aletta continued in the heart.
Raka nodded, she let go of her embrace and got up from her stool. "Look," replied Raka.
Aletta got up from her stool. "Judah I go first, yes, we're different directions, so just separate here."
"Why not go with it? I can mutter later." Raka.
Aletta shook her head. "No, Ka. Don't bother yourself, deh. Yes, I'm first." Without waiting for Raka's reply, Aletta immediately ran away from the park.
The tears that he had sustained, finally spilled. Aletta cried in silence, only a clear bulb soaked her cheek, which represented what Aletta felt. Loving your friends is not only painful, but exhausting.
From High School until now his feelings do not disappear, even though Aletta has tried to forget his love for Raka. But every time Aletta meets Raka, that sense of happiness and also tightness comes. Makes Aletta tired herself. When will that feeling disappear? Until when will Aletta continue to endure this pain? Aletta herself doesn't know.
But surely Aletta will keep trying, let time slowly erode her feelings for Raka.
