SPLASH OF HAPPINESS

Surprise

"Oh, less than one more cigarette."

Rara was confused because her cigarette was one less. Along with that Taka had already paid for his groceries. He left the store without greeting Rara. Rara herself is still recalculating the number of cigarettes. He is very serious at work.

An hour later...

Rara was finally able to finish her work today. He seemed to be getting ready to go home. He also said goodbye to Siti and the saleswoman who was on guard. Rara immediately walked out of the store as soon as she finished her hiatus. He also saw a clock on a computer screen that had shown four o'clock passing.

Alright. Let's go home.

Today Rara entered early in the morning so she could go home late in the afternoon. He then looked for the angkot to quickly get to his house. But apparently, behind there was Taka who followed him. Taka walked on foot following Rara.

Shortly after, the men stopped in front of them. Rara then immediately went up into it. Taka also followed. They sit close together without looking at each other. Looks like Taka deliberately did this to surprise Rara. Until arriving at the destination Taka was down first. Rara followed and paid the fare. The driver said it was paid.

"Eh?!"

Rara was confused. He did not understand why the cost was paid. He was suspicious of the man who went down first in front of him. Rara tried to greet him.

"Em, excuse me." Rara greeted the figure of the man in a black jacket, wearing black glasses and also in a black hat.

Rara deg-degan's heart isn't playing. He was afraid of misjudging the figure. The man was still nearby with a distance of about two meters. Rara then guessed who the man was.

The man took off his glasses. "Talk to me?" the question made Rara surprised.

"You-you?!" Rara felt that she recognized the voice.

The correct figure is Taka then took off his hat. And his beautiful face.

"Taka?!"

"Taka, you ...???" Rara wonders.

Taka smiled. "Sorry, I'm still not ready" he said as if answering Rara's question.

Rara looks sad. "No. My fault. It shouldn't be like that." Rara felt guilty herself.

The passing vehicle also bears witness to a disappointed heart. "Ra, I want to keep—"

"Nothing."

Not yet Taka continued his words, Rara was seen sitting while bending her knees on the grass beside the sidewalk. He shed his tears beside Taka.

"Mara ...."

At that time, I felt no guilt about his actions. He then followed Rara, sitting crouching on the grass.

"Ra, don't cry like that. I can't see it."

I want Taka to wipe away the tears that fell. But he was too reluctant to do it. Although in reality Rara seemed to give permission. Taka is so respectful of Rara and wants to take care of her.

"Taka, you know. It has been a long time since we met. Lookingforyou. I lost you, Taka." Rara is honest about her feelings.

Taka gulped. He feels the same. But he could not fulfill what Rara wanted because of the worry that further bound his heart.

"I miss you, Ra." That's the only word Taka can say to Rara.
