"There's a ban for me to come here?”
Vara answered, as flat as the man's question. But the man did not answer, only smoking his cigarette deeper.
Suddenly his eyes moved quickly looking at Vara, making Vara startled and misbehaved for a moment. For a long time the man was still looking at Vara, who finally dared to look directly at the sharp eye bead before him. The eyes of a handsome-looking man with firm jaws and thick eyebrows.
“Not really. I know Arya. I lost, but I can't make him come back either. If you need anything, you can tell me."
The man turned off his cigarette and left Vara. At first glance his eyes looked at Vara who was swept back with sadness, before finally leaving on his sports bike.
The following nights Vara always drove his car to the wild racecourse. Vara did not get out of her car, just kept silent in the car while crying without a sound. He felt so hard when he was in this place. But here Vara feels closer to Arya. Vara wants to let go of her trauma and bad memories, but she still can't.
This day Vara took his mind off by shopping alone. But after that Vara still felt empty.
Before returning home, Vara chose to go to a cafe that is not too crowded, and ordered a glass of Caffe latte. Not even had he had a drink, a glass of caffeine latte was drunk by a mysterious man who a few days ago claimed to know Arya. Vara looked at him with an annoyed expression, whereas the man just smiled mischievously.
“Hehe...Sorry yes I'm thirsty once.”
The man sat next to Vara without asking permission from Vara who was staring at him dislike.
“You don't think I'm thirsty? I ordered it too because I'm thirsty.”
Vara said so upset.
“Iya, sorry. I changed.”
The man immediately ordered a glass of Caffe latte and Americano. The male's expression was friendlier than the first they met.
"Oh yes.. We're not acquainted yet, I'm Bryllian, just call me Bry.”
The man smiled as he thrust out his hand, which Vara greeted as he mentioned his name.
“I Vara..”.
"I know.”
**********************
1 month passed since the death of Arya, Vara still always faithfully came to the tomb of Arya. Crying without a sound while rubbing a headstone that says the name Arya Kusuma. Vara tries to let Arya go, because Vara believes Arya is happy at God's side. Although his chest always felt tight when recalling all the memories of Arya.
Vara was about to leave after more than 1 hour of prayer and reminiscing about her story with Arya. But his steps came to a halt when he caught a glimpse of a man named Bryllian, standing in the distance. Vara walked towards the direction where he had seen Bryllian, but Bryllian did not exist as if disappearing under the thickets of the trees. Vara didn't think too much about it, he just thought it might be wrong to see.
******************************
For a long time Vara never came to the wild racecourse again. Vara is determined to open a new page. Moreover, Mama Citra, Arya's mother does not want Vara to always grieve considering Arya. Vara rarely visits Mama Citra, but almost every day they communicate via phone or chat application. Vara is grateful that Mama Arya loves him so much and always considers him a child, even though Arya is gone.
Vara began to diligently return to college, Vara began to mingle back with his college friends. His friends were happy with this change.
That afternoon, Vara gathered with 4 friends, namely Danila, Vanny, Samuel and Brandon at the campus foodcourt, while waiting for the next course. Inadvertently Vara saw someone looking at her from a table in the corner of the foodcourt. The man averted his eyes, probably not expecting Vara to find him staring at Vara. But a moment later the man looked at Vara again and waved his hand.
