Arkan lay on a wooden cot by the pool behind the cottage he was staying in. Lying relaxed under the moonlight and the gurgling of water and another, enjoying the results of his shot last afternoon.
It seems like the teenager is feeling really deep, unfortunately likes even the girl of his own best friend. It was a very sad feeling.
"Congratulations, lamaaang!" the sound of someone calling came closer to him, he immediately closed the camera screen and placed it on the wooden table beside him. It must be Nara who felt astonished because her favorite son did not go into his room to pull over tired after a day of enjoying activities out there.
"Arkaaan, jeez! See what time I'm at? 23.48 Lhoo, this midnight!" said Nara who has now reached beside Arkan.
"Before a moment ma," he said then pretended to close his eyes as if enjoying the atmosphere of the late night even though Arkan was enjoying a sense of tightness in his heart.
"Why you?" nara asked, and she sat down on the other couch, which was located on the cot that Arkan occupied.
"Why not, Mama is sleeping! I'm comfortable here!" he still closed both his eyes.
"But it's cold!"
"Sir, I just want to be alone!"
Quietly behind the curtains in the room located right in front of the pool area was a pair of eyes watching Arkan, who else if not Yura. He also did not fall asleep on this sad night. So many who seized his mind to make him unable to fall asleep soundly.
"Come on!" Nara insists, she pulls Arkan's hand to get inside the cottage.
"Yes yes!" finally Arkan agreed and before it really passed his eyes could squeeze towards Yura and Ya's room, that was the room of the girl he loved so much right now.

"Chesse!"
The two small families were doing a photo shoot, the atmosphere was so cheerful and warm. Yura really felt very lucky to be in their midst, unceasingly giving thanks to the almighty for this wonderful destiny she experienced.
KRIIYING, his phone rang and the one who contacted him at this time was Keita.
"Before Mom," Yura told Lulu.
"Yes, Iang!"
Yura pulled over to a quiet corner, and Arkan saw her. He was sure that Yura was currently picking up the phone from Keita.
"Hi Kak," said Yura, they made a video call, although only two days did not meet but Keita had felt a very deep longing.
"Hi, what else?" she was lying on her pillow while Yura pulled over on the wooden cot that Arkan occupied last night.
"For the photos, brother!"
"Oh, am I bothering dong?"
"No, it's over, brother, it's my first time to Bali! It's nice to be here, and it might be even more fun if we could take a vacation together later,"
Keita smiled wryly at the sweet hope of his lover he felt the same. I really want him to be able to vacation together but it all feels impossible considering they are still too early to travel vacation alone.
"Later on, if we're adults, eummm, if we're honeymoon later!" sahut Keita with a little joke.
"Hehe, hopefully ya ...."
There was always someone secretly paying attention, huh who else if not Arkan? Looking at Yura's loose smile made her curious as to what it could be. Her inner being was like saying 'Sorry I love you!'
"Yura."
"Yes, brother."
"My parents can't be denied any more" Keita said, and he looked lethargic.
"What does Kei mean?" ask Yura.
"I fixed college abroad." she said.
"Oh yeah? I don't think it's a hard choice, brother, go to college there! I will always pray for you!"
"But I can't get away from you,"
The attack of sweet words from Yura convinced Keita. And a smile full of confidence is just created.
"I love you" Keita said on his phone screen.
"Love you more!" sahut Yura's.
They ended the conversation and after that came Arkan tried to find an opportunity.
"Through?" taking it for a prank, Yura immediately straightened her previously haggard body for a moment as Arkan's voice approached.
"Yes, a little." said he was lethargic even though he tried hard.
"Why?"
"Kak Kei has fixed his studies abroad!"
"really?"
"Yes, maybe that's the final decision, he has access to one of the universities in the UK."
"Lo has to support him!"
"Surely, I can support him from afar! Even if we are far away in the eyes, we can stay close to the heart!" yura then chuckled and made Arkan smile wryly.
'Ashim!' grunts in the heart.
And so, this is the phase where an Arkana must prepare a spacious heart because this is the testing phase for his heart that will soon transition from a teenager to an adult man.
The holiday was sweet, bitter and bitter for Arkan. There were many opportunities to enjoy alone time with Yura but not infrequently also she experienced the bitterness of every seeing Yura so enthusiastic every story about Keita.
***
A few months later ....
Yura escorted Keita to the airport, time indeed went so fast. The results of Keita's exam are out and he can already be accepted at one of the universities in the United Kingdom (UK).
There are no words other than 'missing' that the two will feel. In addition they will also always embed the word 'loyal' in their principles.
In addition to Yura, Arkan and Vano also accompanied Keita, they are currently standing in front of the entry of overseas departures, among people passing by.
"I will always be faithful!" said Keita while rubbing Yura's head that was awake comfortably in her embrace, Yura just nodded.
"Ar, Van! Good luck here!" said Keita.
"Sama-sama! We always join you!" vano said and in the end the four of them embraced each other.
There are only two words when a farewell like this happens, sadness and hope. They gave each other hope in the embrace.
"Gue must quickly set off! Please take care of Yura huh, don't let someone steal her heart!" keita said with a joking tone.
Deg, Arkan feels slapped with Keita's last sentence. He tried many times to steal the opportunity.
"Byee! wait 2 more years!"
Their hands waving at each other accompanied Keita's increasingly distant steps. Yura also remained standing until she did not see the back of her Beloved.
"What a hard one!" said Vano then patting Yura on the back, Yura smiled and strengthened her heart.
"Let's go home!" bring Arkan.
"Yes Kak." agreed Yura.
They passed, leaving the farewell. They will live their lives again in the days to come.
Can Yura and Keita keep each other's loyal promises? And can Arkan resist his urge not to harass Yura and take the chance?
