Orang-orang to Aratha

Chapters. 14 - Meet You After School

At that time, Sonya did not understand why she could say such a thing. After she finished talking, Sonya immediately ran away from the room. He felt guilty for not being able to control himself.

"Aratha must be furious. I didn't mean to tell him that. I'd be hurt myself if someone told me that."

On her way, Sonya kept thinking about it. Passing through the corridors and stairs, he continued to ponder, expressionless, no matter what he stepped on at the moment. When he went down the stairs, his gaze slightly blurred and his steps instantly wavered. Slowly, his eyes began to blacken. Sonya is trying to maintain her current position. However, it can't last long. Sonya fell forward, just above the stairs with only a few remaining.

Sonya thought, this time she would end up bleeding. Then, he felt a hug from someone who came before him. The man caught him and took him down the stairs. Sonya knows this smell. Not wrong, he must be Fahruz.

"Sonya, what's wrong with you?" Fahruz looks very worried because Sonya does not move for a few seconds. Gaining a bad feeling, Fahruz immediately goes from the library and searches for Sonya's whereabouts.

"Thank you, Fahruz. I'm fine." slowly Sonya tried to stand on both feet. However, he felt that both of his legs were too weak to walk. As a result, he held on to Fahruz's broad shoulders.

"Sonya, you should go home now. I'll take you."

Sonya replied, "No! I don't want to go home now!"

Fahruz said loudly, "Think about your own situation! I can't keep you like this!"

"If I say no, no! I am still strong! I'm not going home!" Sonya said loudly and tried to walk back. However, again his legs were so weak that he had to hold onto Fahruz.

"You saw it for yourself, right?! You must return before your situation gets worse!" Fahruz tries to hold onto Sonya but Sonya continues to rebel.

"You're so crazy! I don't want to go home!" sonya shouted with a serious face.

”Sonya!”

A few seconds later, Sonya stopped rebelling as Fahruz hugged her from the front. Sonya was so shocked that even her body felt frozen. The warmth that had once been lost, was now growing back inside her after she lost the figure of Mother.

Fahruz feels so serious. She hugged Sonya so tightly that it made her cramped. Fahruz tried to say wholeheartedly, "Please, listen to me just once. I don't want to lose you, Sonya."

...~o0o~...

"Today Sonya came home quickly." replied Rika.

"Why did he come home so soon?" ask Aratha.

Rika sighed. "Eitherway. Though it was still morning but, they both had itchy to go home."

"They're both? You mean, Sonya's coming home with Fahruz?"

"Why are you surprised? Fahruz's parents and Sonya's parents have known each other for a long time. So, it was only natural that the two of them always looked close. But, speaking of that, when Sonya returned to class, her face was one hundred percent pale. Fahruz even helped her walk and carry her bag. However, the two of them did not answer anything when his classmates asked about his circumstances."

"Is it possible because of my words that he became like this?" aratha thought about it.

"God! You don't get jealous if Sonya comes home with Fahruz. Between the two of you, it's like Fahruz who will get his blessing first. After all, Sonya's father knew Fahruz's parents very well." Rika tries to tease Aratha who is displaying her cold figure.

"Not to be repeated! I should understand too!" ketus Aratha. After that he walked away with his face looking upset.

He was still thinking about the words Sonya said this morning and also about her actions being so excessive. Maybe, this was all his fault. Aratha couldn't hold her own heart to bind someone. That man had just visited her in his life.

"Why should I choose?! I like you guys even Fahruz is the same! I will not be different! No matter how you look at me from your point of view. I won't be able to choose one."

"DO YOU WANT WHAT?! CAN YOU LIVE AS A SONYA?! Having no brothers, his mother died while accompanying him, his father was always busy working out there and a Sonya, had to live alone in his house without anyone accompanying him. Can you live a life like that?!"

"Mrs,..."

"I don't want to hear your next question! If you want to run away from my life, go ahead! I will not deny you! Just live your old life!"

Sonya's words managed to make him think hard. It turned out to be true, he was the one who was wrong and he also admitted it. Sonya might still think of him as a person far from friends. After all, it all happened because Sonya forced Aratha to join the drama club. And after the staging was over, was there still a connection between the two of them?

Just live your old life!

Aratha chuckled with her disbelieving face. Somehow the story goes, he can't forget Sonya. He feels funny and played. He should be able to ignore Sonya's whereabouts and live as usual.

After seeing the death of her mother, Aratha decides not to involve love into her life. Love made her mother suffer. Love caused her to lose her mother. Why was it that until this moment, he couldn't hold onto his words just because a girl appeared once in his life?

It was late afternoon and everyone was home. Everyone's shadow looked much taller than his person. That might be normal for them. However, in times like these are the things that Aratha fears the most. He was still afraid of the darkness that would eat him at any time.

The wind that blew in front of him, brought him to the figure of Sonya who was sitting at the bus stop. From the side, his face looked sad. He still wears his uniform with a jacket he puts on his thigh.

"Say he came home quickly. But, why is he still around the school?" aratha muttered as she walked up to him.

"I guess after the incident this morning, you didn't want to come here" said Sonya, smiling at Aratha next to her. He no longer looked as sad as he had been. Aratha found it impossible for Sonya to smile like this just from looking at her.

"Say you came home quickly. What's wrong?"

"Sit down here. There's something I want to say."

Aratha complied and sat right next to Sonya who was 40 inches from her place. They both waited for answers. Aratha is curious why Sonya came home so quickly and Sonya is curious how Aratha felt this morning. Of course, they look forward to the best answer even though they have to wait a very long time.

"I came here because I wanted to give this back. Thank you." Thank you." Sonya put Aratha's jacket in the middle. But that's not the answer he wanted.

"Why did you come home so fast? Is something going on?"

Sonya was silent for a while. Her eyes refused to look at Aratha. Not usually Sonya is silent like this especially not wanting to answer her question.

"I talked a lot this morning. I even said something I shouldn't have told you. So, I'm a little sorry. I think I played you from the beginning. So, you deserve to be angry."

"Why does your voice sound weak? You haven't answered all my questions."

Sonya was silent again. His eyes refused to look at him. His hands were clenched however, there was doubt in them. Sonya started to think she was in trouble. He wants to say something. However, it was all too heavy to remove.

"Sonya, where have you been? I was looking for you from earlier." said Fahruz, walking over to Sonya and Aratha at the bus stop.

No one knows how Fahruz found them here. Sonya was relieved after she met him. Quickly, Sonya immediately ran over to Fahruz and forgot Aratha who was waiting for her answer.

After a brief conversation with no results, Aratha finally just watched Sonya's back walking beside Fahruz. It fades and eventually disappears.

Piqued.
