RAGIL (First Love)

Season 2 #9

Coincidences that often occur, make prejudice increasingly become. Whose fault is it if this happens?

- Saga

Azka had just finished working on her project assignment. He stretched out his arms and moved his body left and right to stretch his muscles that had been stiff due to his position that had not changed since nine in the morning. He worked for eight hours in the room. Checking the files and data of the survey results that they did yesterday.

"Ka, have you checked?" Mr. Ara walked into the room. Put some other files that have just been sorted by other teammates.

"Already Sir. There's only one more file left" said Azka turning her face toward Mr. Ara, then back down to face the file he was checking.

"This file has been checked. Please re-group based on the criteria as we did."

"Okay Sir!"

"Ka?"

"Yes sir?"

"After that you can go home. Don't forget to call your husband."

"Good Sir. Azka will remember that." Azka smiled, before finally looking down at the file again as Mr. Ara passed outside the room.

A call on Azka's phone made Azka stop her activities. He got up from the chair and approached the table where his phone was placed. The lighted screen displays one name.

Sagas.

"Hello Ay's. Assalamu'alaikum." Sapa Azka cheerfully. Trying to cover fatigue that is already thick attached to the body.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Is anyone home yet?" Ask the voice across.

"So soon, there's still something I need to check."

"Tomorrow to go home?"

"Em-cz. Sure do. Hope this job is good. Some of it I could probably bring home. Can I pick you up tomorrow?" Azka asked expectantly.

"Ehmmm. I see tomorrow's schedule. Hopefully I can pick it up." said Saga in a slightly regretful tone.

"Don't push too much. I can go home by myself. Can I use ojol, right?" Azka understood very well how tired Saga was to take care of the project given to her husband.

"Thank you, yeah,"

"Either. I have to go back to work. Let's not have a sloth." Said Azka moving away from the table. Re-seated himself when he was at his desk.

"Be careful when you get home. See you tomorrow."

"Ay too. Love u!" Azka closed the conversation. The connection was cut off after Saga replied with the same remark.

Almost an hour and a half of the time Azka used to complete the rest of the work. Azka came out of the room for the first time since she first entered it this morning. Azka's exit was greeted boisterously by other teammates. For the coming out of Azka signified that their work was coming to an end.

"Have Ka?"

"Well, Azka came out auto home to us."

Such a voice sounded more until finally Mr. Ara stopped the commotion.

"Alright the data has been collected. Let's just do the next step. If tomorrow our work is completed according to schedule, the rest can be done at home. Let's pack up." said Mr. Ara who was welcomed with pleasure by everyone in the room.

"Ka,"

"Yes?" Azka turned her head towards one of her colleagues who had just walked into the room after carrying a pile of trash outside.

"There's a bright one ahead." the info.

Wh who? Azka realized that she did not promise to meet anyone here.

"Oh Okay. Thanks Nit." he said to Nita, his partner who spoke earlier.

Azka hurried to finish her things. He washed his hands before saying goodbye to everyone there.

He's approaching the door. Carefully opened the door very slowly. He looks after the people in front of him. A young man, who seemed familiar. When Azka escaped from the door and walked over, a call stopped her and turned away.

"Tea! Hi!" Guess who called him this. Yes, this is clearly the voice and speech style of a Kara.

A man who kept on walking closer and stopped before Azka. His hands are raised beside his head. He moved it to the right and to the left like he was waving.

Azka blinked, realising herself about Kara's sudden presence. "Oh Hi!" Azka sounded very stiff.

"Tea? You why?" Kara asked with her forehead folded in. Azka shifted her head to look at the young man behind Kara who had been looking for her. Seeing Azka's behavior, Kara turned her head in the same direction. With a slow motion he turned his body back to the level of Azka.

"Teh, you know him?" Azka nodded.

"Wait here for a second. Okay," Azka said without looking.

"Hi Ka."

The three of them sat at a table in a restaurant. When Ragil said that he wanted to go around Bandung with Azka, Azka could only nod in agreement. And Kara's unheard-of presence finally brings them to one table with a tremendous awkwardness.

"Emm," Azka tried to make a sound after nearly fifteen minutes the three of them were silent a thousand languages. Kara looks busy with her phone. While the young man he knew as Ragil-the first love of Azka-was just silent while staring at the atmosphere around him.

"So we all live in Jakarta?" Break the silence by the voice of Azka. I swear by anything, that this is the most awward moment for him. And Azka did not seem to be herself in the midst of two people who were silent to each other a thousand languages.

"Emm," Ragil muttered.

"Teh, I won't be known as much?" Kara asked as she put down her phone.

"Oh. Hahaha, sorry Yes." Azka just remembered that they had just got into Kara's car when the boy offered her a ride.

"Kar, this is Ragil. My High School and Junior High School. Ragil, it's Kara. Emm," Kara pretended to understand, and reached out to shake her hand.

"Kara "

"Recedents."

Azka came to a halt, not continuing as the two men immediately shook hands while saying their names.

"Teh, this is love where lag-Aw!!" Kara whispered before finally grimacing as she immediately got a slow blow on her arm.

"Don't talk macem-macem!" Reply Azka both whispered. He knew Ragil had noticed their closeness since then. Azka felt bad. Kara repeatedly talked to Azka. Heedless of a Ragil who was in their midst. Until a voice interrupted the activity of the two.

"Ka, can I go around here?"

"Eh? Come onl. Let me go" said Azka. He then turns to another of them, "Kar-"

"Lo just go. I don't feel good about Temen Lo too."

Kara understood the point. Ragil just wants to be with Azka. Huh! Why did he have to get caught between these two people?

"Well, really. I was waiting for this sentence. Sorry Tea, I'm home yak. Take care of you!" Kara chuckles. He was ready to stand, but Azka held his arm.

"Kar, plis." Azka pleaded. But it's not Kara if she just bled. The young man hit Azka's hand on her arm so that Azka's stray was released followed by a ringing from Azka's mouth.

"Bye! Tomorrow I will return to Jakarta. We'll see ya!" kara said as she walked away with one drink in her hand. The young man waved, displaying a withered face at Azka. He simply left Azka and Ragil alone.

"Come," Azka asked Ragil. They walked around the restaurant in the middle of the city. The city is so crowded. They walked to a park.

"It can only go around it. I don't have a vehicle." Azka said as the two sat down.

"Nothing Ka. You're back in Jakarta tomorrow?"

"Yes. I think it was afternoon." Azka said.

"Lo ride what?" Ragil's still figuring it out.

"Travel the plan."

"okay."

Okay?? Azka did not understand what that meant. But Azka tried not to be too curious.

"Sampe met again Gil," said Azka when Saga had picked her up at the travel stop Azka used to return to Jakarta.

"Yo. Thanks Ka." answered Ragil from his place.

"Ragil again? Same from Bandung?" ask Saga when Azka is in the car.

"Eh, I-yeah. Yesterday he said he'd go to his wedding on vacation." I don't know why Azka answered him. It is like being caught committing a crime.

"Trus went home together?" Saga still hasn't run his car. "Don't you say there was Kara yesterday? Why don't you go home with Kara?"

Yeah, Saga knows about Kara. Azka's best friend as the girl goes through many critical times in her relationship. As well as the person who also played a role in the success of his relationship with Azka.

"Kara came home first before I finished from college" Azka said in self-defense.

"And Ragil deliberately went home at the same time as you, Yang? Or just a coincidence?" Saga seemed to be looking for a question on a defendant.

"I'm sorry" Azka said. I don't know why he didn't want to continue this conversation. Because they might have a fight after this. Azka could only apologize while lowering her head. This behavior, for others, will definitely mean that he admitted the accusation. But not for Saga. He understood the meaning of the apology Azka said.

"I consider this just a coincidence" Saga smiled.
