Maura's face was hot. Not the result of being upset like he usually does when facing Mizar, but holding a shame that cannot be borne.
The woman chose to lower her head to hide her hot face. Maura knew very well, in this situation her face would definitely look red.
True, the woman had misunderstood the wound on Raka's face which she thought was due to Mizar's actions. After hearing Sky's explanation with a little coercion, finally made the woman understand, that what happened to Raka due to Jerome's actions.
The young man brandished two fingers to form the letter V. While the grin of the horse framed his face.
"Sorry, I'm sick of Raka's behavior. If not, he would not have realized."
"Haha .. mampus lo, Zar." Bastian laughs at Mizar who still looks shocked at Maura's accusations.
The young man just sat limp on the sofa without much to say. He was even only able to look at Maura with a blank look.
"Sorry yes, Zar." Raka commented with a laugh on her face.
Wanted to be upset, but Mizar had no energy. He was already quite tired when Maura suddenly accused him.
"Sorry, Ra. I really do not think that you will be angry with Mizar when you see Raka's face. Yeah, he does pantes anyway to be roughened." Jerome added again. Make Maura look down deep.
To be angry at Jerome was free. Maura was embarrassed and would not admit it. How will he maintain his pride in front of Mizar if the woman admits that she feels guilty because of the accusation?
Nope, no. Maura can't do it. He didn't want to make a big Mizar head.
Of course, Maura's behavior invited laughter. Because the woman's attitude has put Mizar in the wrong position.
It made the young men in the room laugh with satisfaction. Because all this time no one dared to blame Mizar except Maura.
After all who would dare to deal with a complete package human like Mizar?
The arlan? He was caught after a trip from Bandung yesterday. The young man was determined not to make trouble with Mizar rather than his life being lost.
"Your satisfaction?" asked Mizar with a look of annoyed bent face.
He was more unwilling because Maura listened more to Sky's explanation than he did. Although he was grateful with the help of his friend it made Maura no longer misunderstand. But still he can't accept it.
That proves that his struggle to regain Maura's heart is still very long.
Mizar let out a long sigh before finally turning his head towards Maura who was still bowing her head. The young man intentionally did not bother him. Because, Mizar knows that Maura is holding back shame. It's just that the prestige of the woman is high enough to admit.
No problem for Mizar. As long as Maura no longer misunderstood him. No problem for the young man, even though he became the laughingstock of his friends.
For Mizar enough, as long as Maura does not need to misunderstand him.
The young man quietly pulled his lip line until he made a smile framing his handsome face.
While of all the humans who were in the same room, Riandra was the only person who seemed to dislike Maura's behavior. It is clear from the look on his face if the woman is resentful and jealous.
"Currently, what's so good about him?!" muttered Riandra with a sharp eye highlight not separated from Maura.
No one cares. The six young men sitting around Maura were only focusing on the girl alone. Making Riandra increasingly upset and clenched her hands holding back furious.
The woman sneered before finally leaving. Without saying goodbye or turning to Maura who managed to make his mood messy.
Followed by Kikan who followed the long-haired woman out of the room.
"Eh, Ndra, wait!" follow Kikan in haste.
"Where are they going?" Bastian who noticed the two girls came out of the room asked the others.
Sky turned. Staring at Riandra's increasingly distant back with a flat gaze.
"Let's go," said the young man briefly without taking a longer question.
Then the room again filled with serious chatter when the mobile phone of one of all men was ringing.
***
Maura decides to stay away when the male humans are in Jerome's living room when they are busy talking about Ade's condition and what to do for revenge.
Errata, actually Sagara is the one who threw himself away. Maura just caught the bait that was thrown and made it a reality.
After all who lasts a long time with a man who wants to hold it, but never gives any certainty. Really, it's just a lie if Maura always says, "Jalanine!" whenever a friend asks about his relationship with Sagara.
"Hey, don't you come in?" a voice suddenly shocked Maura.
The woman turned her head and found Arlan standing not far from her. They are now on the side terrace of the house facing the swimming pool.
"It's not cold outside?" continue Arlan when Maura does not also give a response.
He shook his head in response. When did Jakarta ever offer the cold? It felt that even after the rainy day like this, it was still unbearable heat.
Yes, maybe Maura is excessive, but originally he did not feel cold or rage. The current temperature feels right in his arkin.
"Ra, I can talk to you, right?" Arlan asked the question again.
This time Maura's focus was entirely on Arlan.
"Chattle aja. Why use permission anyway?"
A smile framed the young man's face.
"Yes, that's not it, Ra. I haven't forgotten how you used to be the same because of the case, Mizar."
Maura's mind was glaring. In the past, the woman was indeed hostile to Arlan and Sky due to Mizar's actions. Somehow at first, all of a sudden, Maura dodged every time she met the two humans.
Although opportunities often make them stay in touch, Maura as much as possible limits herself from Arlan and Sky. Even he had been in a situation where he really hated the two cousins.
"If you can prevent Mizar from doing it with Raisa, she will not be able to experience the events of kayak gini!" Maura even remembered the sentence that had once been shouted to Arlan and Sky at that moment.
Yes, maybe that was the beginning of their relationship to be tenuous. Plus the busyness of each who soon stepped on the third grade of High School. Then continue to college by taking a completely different major.
They meet less and less. Just a few times and it's like people don't know each other.
"Sorry" Maura said in a soft voice as she recalled how cruel she had been in the past.
"Gue was once as evil as you and Sky. I know it has nothing to do with you guys." Maura connected her sentence. His face looks really sorry.
"Gue knew how you felt at that time, Ra. It is not easy to lose someone who is very important to you. Wherever you are, Raisa has been friends since in the womb. Even I suspect, your parents made a pact first when they wanted to make you. Could be with her birth."
Maura laughs. Remembering his birth with Raisa which is often told by the mother or Aunt Ratih - Mama Raisa. They were born on the same day, even just a few seconds apart.
That was why Maura felt that something was missing from her life when she lost Raisa. It felt almost the same when he lost his mother who had left a few years earlier.
And yes, almost everyone knows the story of their friendship that may have been planned since in seed form. Raisa was always proud to tell everyone that. Even including their friends since the time of Kindergarten.
No, Maura is not sure about it, but throughout her memory she recalls that Raisa did often tell everyone about their birth.
"Thanks, Ar." -."
"No need to say thank you." Arlan's smile expands.
"Btw, I just want to suggest the same thing. If you don't mind doing horror anyway," he continued a little hesitating.
"Yes?"
"Gue didn't apologize, Mizar. It's not like it is now, but ...." Arlan paused his sentence. Capturing the change in the face of Maura though not so visible.
After believing Maura was not going to say anything, he added. Imbuhnya,".. try to understand the feelings of Mizar, Ra. I know, he's always been sincere. Since long time ago."
Maura was stuck in her place. Staring at Arlan's hopeful look.
"Gue does not mean and does not want to influence your thoughts or feelings. I'll be your supporter."
"As a friend, until anytime," he added quickly when he saw the approaching Mizar.
