A man walks out of the airport. Her charming casual appearance with glasses framing her face made her the center of attention. However, no one knows who he is.
"Darren!"
Yep. Darren Alvaro Grisam is the son of Gara and Alula. A man who called out to him ran up to him. He's the only one who knows Darren.
"The cooler you are." He said while doing tos with Darren. He then hugged Darren tightly, making the man feel uneasy.
"Take off me Jiyo!" His words made the man take off his embrace and then chuckle.
"Hehehe... Sorry-sorry, reflex. It's a real miss." His word.
Jiyo, the bad boy who turns good and becomes the twins' best friend. Their friendship is well established. Make them feel, not only have a bond of friendship but brotherhood.
"Come, go home!" Take Darren. "Dad and my mom don't know if I'm coming home?"
"So. Take it easy, I'm good at keeping secrets."
"Ck." Darren just clucked. He then opened the trunk of the car and loaded the suitcase. While Jiyo, the man just stood folding his hands while watching Darren.
"Young master is indeed very independent." His word.
"Silence Jiyo!" The reply. He entered the car after closing the trunk door. Jiyo also came in and sat in the driver's seat.
"You finished your education quickly. I'm just for S1 to graduate next month." Jiyo said, continue to drive her car.
"Tell me what happened after I left." Asked Darren with a flat face. Makes Jiyo look at him for a moment.
"The story is long."
"Tell me!"
"If I told you about it, there would definitely be a few episodes and connect."
"I don't care!" Reply with a flat face.
"Alright." Jiyo. "Basic young master cold!" Continue grumbling.
"You nagging?"
"No-no. I'll tell you. So, a few years ago after you left..." Jiyo started telling me.
Four years ago.
Darrel, Asya and also Jiyo rushed towards the classroom. The three came together, but went back apart as they headed for their respective classes.
Darren and Jiyo are in the same class. Asya himself is different. The girl walked to her class.
"Asians!" A girl approached him who was already sitting on his desk chair.
The girl Asya knew was a little shy standing in front of Asya. Name's Aurel.
"What's wrong?"
"Can I ask for your help?" Asya nodded.
"Help me buy a book? I don't know the streets of this town yet." His word. She was a transfer student a week ago. The adaptable Asya was instantly familiar with it.
"Can. What time?"
"After school. But, we're taking a cab, huh? My driver can't pick me up today."
"OKAY. Asya's driver didn't pick you up today either."
"Thank you, huh?"
"Yes, you're welcome."
They also took lessons as usual. The clock continues to turn. Until it was not felt, the bell went home. Asya and Aurel walked together towards the school gate.
"Asians!" The call stopped Asya and Aurel. Darrel who called him walked over to them. Same with Jiyo.
"Where are you two going? Don't you wait for an invitation?"
"Asya same Aurel wants to go to the bookstore. I want to buy a book."
"Who's the guy?"
"Taxi's up."
"Yes, I'm advising. Mending you with Aurel is like me with Darrel. We're gonna take you guys." Jiyo.
"Nothing to do. We'll take a taxi." Aurel said, nervous.
Darrel stared intently at Aurel. There was something wrong that he caught from the girl's stupor.
"Yes. We go first." Asya and Aurel immediately headed for the taxi they booked. After the taxi drove, Darrel quickly pulled Jiyo towards his car.
"Eh uh, how come I'm pulled."
"Silent. We're following them." Darrel said, cold and immediately drove his car following Asya and Aurel.
Jiyo gulped her saliva. Darrel is in cold mode, no less creepy than Darren.
Their car continued to drive following the taxi that Asya and Aurel were riding. Sure enough, the taxi suddenly stopped and three teenagers motorized the taxi stop.
Darrel and Jiyo's eyes narrowed, then muttered together upon recognizing one of them. "Moor!" Muttered both of them when he saw Hendra began to force Asya's hand out of the car.
With a quick movement, Darrel and Jiyo got out of the car.
Bugh... One blow sent Hendra's hand loose from Asya. The man got up and beat Darrel back. The fight was not inevitable either.
Jiyo also beat up two friends who brought Hendra. Luckily, several passing riders helped them, until Hendra and his three friends escaped.
"Come on!" Darrel pulls Asya's hand towards the car.
"Darrel, the cab hasn't been paid yet." Asya.
"Jiyo!" The boy understood what Darrel meant. He also paid for the taxi that Asya and Aurel were riding.
Darrel's eyes turned sharply at Aurel. "You too!" He said, then headed to his car.
"Don't just stand. Come on!" Take Jiyo to Aurel.
After everything was in the car, Darrel drove his car to the park. They stopped there and rested. Nanun, before exiting, Asya brought a p3k box that was available in the car.
The girl treated Darrel and Jiyo's slightly bruised faces. But, Darrel's eyes had been drawing toward Aurel who kept his head down.
"You must have a fucking plan?" His accusation, made Aurel look up at him. So did Asya and Jiyo who were staring confusedly at the two.
"Sorry." Only murmurs could be heard from Aurel's mouth.
"Darrel, why are you just accusing like this? Where could Aurel be like that?"
"If he's not a bad guy, why doesn't Hendra and his friends attack him? He was in the same car. He even got out and stood on the side of the car. But, why didn't anyone hurt her?" They were silent at Darrel's words.
"You've planned everything, right?"
"I-i... I-I'm sorry." Reply Aurel, looking down, not daring to look into Darrel's eyes.
"Huh, sorry?" Darrel smiled mockingly. "If something happens to Asya, what will you do?"
"Darrel, stop. I'm all right. Aurel's fine, too."
"Don't defend him Asya. He knows something. Come on, tell me!" His insistence. Jiyo who was beside Darrel could only take a breath. He also felt that strange thing from Aurel. He just hoped Aurel would admit it.
"I-i... I-I threatened Hendra's sister." Aurel spoke while looking down. "Sister Hendra said, if I don't obey him, he'll do something to me." His word. His face was filled with fear when he said that.
Darrel and Jiyo looked at each other. Suddenly a feeling of guilt strikes Darrel.
"Next time, don't repeat. If he threatens you again, just tell me or Jiyo. Go, go!" Without saying another word, Darrel moved back to his car.
Jiyo also walked towards the car. And Asya, she grabbed the p3k box, then grabbed Aurel's hand.
"Come, we're home!" Invite her gently, making Aurel look up at her.
"You-you..."
Asya smiled at him. "Don't be afraid, Darrel isn't mad at you anymore. He's a good man. Jiyo as well." Said Asya with a smile. Aurel nodded and held out his hand.
***
Darren looked at Jiyo who had stopped telling stories. One eyebrow raised not understanding.
"Why silence?" Ask.
"The story is done. The rest, me and Darrel take good care of it."
"Ck. You said it was a long story to several episodes."
"Hehehe... I was just kidding. The rest are just stories of unimportant students who continue to pursue Asya. But they're not as crazy as Hendra. Ever since that incident, Hendra just disappeared." His word.
Darren just fell silent not responding to it anymore. He then pulled out his phone. Since boarding the plane from country X he turned off his phone and did not check it as soon as he got off earlier.
The two messages with the same content from Asya and Darrel did not change any expression on his face. He simply moved his finger, typing a reply.
Yep.
That one word can already be understood Darrel and Asya.
