"Darling?"
Hantara threw a spoon filled with meatballs because she was so surprised. As a result, the meatballs about his clothes. He peeked with his mouth open.
The handsome figure towering to his right was the mastermind.
Sure enough, some who knew Ravendra fell silent. What the guy just did managed to become a big question mark over the unexpected action.
Ravendra called Hantara 'honey'? Presumably Hantara wondered, her fiance was sane or not.
Looking slowly, Hantara met face to face with Ravendra. "Ra—"
"Let's go home" Ravendra asked slowly. The guy smiled calmly.
"Huh?"
Not recovered from the shock earlier, now coupled with Ravendra's invitation that resulted in his mind slowing down.
Deputizing Hantara and the others, Sagara opened his voice. "Bang Raven said what?" tanyakanya.
Ravendra smile. "Lo Denger myself, did I say what?" the guy even threw a question—which caused a surprised reaction again. Because their hearing and vision don't lie.
"Sister Raven is there any connection with Hantara?" ask Lia to make sure.
"Ah yes," Ravendra pulled her hair back. Hantara held her breath. Either the hunch or he's exaggerated, but the guy's getting handsome.
Without command, Ravendra's left hand held Hantara's left hand embedded in their engagement ring. Hantara was only able to glare when she realized what Ravendra was going to do.
"This," Ravendra showed the sparkle of the ring embedded in the ring finger of Hantara's left hand. "We're engaged, here's the proof."
Hantara. His heart pumps blood faster. Desirants that have never been felt, now it is inflamed accompanied by flapping butterfly wings on his stomach.
"Ravendra!" Gianna called out loudly to Ravendra who looked relaxed as if he had no burden at all.
"Yes, Gi? What's up, huh?" the man asked without any guilt.
"You are ...." Gianna laughed blandly, thinking Ravendra was faking it or wanting to make her jealous. "You're not kidding me, Rav. Look tuh! Hantara is uncomfortable because you made her the center of attention."
Ravendra looked at Hantara more closely. "Are you worried?" ask in a gentle tone like before.
Gianna clenched her hand. I don't know what kind of game Ravendra wants to play. "Rav, you don't dong! Why is his fiancee, even though Hantara is not who you are!"
Ravendra sighed. Seemingly reluctant to send a reply to Gianna.
Hantara cringed in wonder. These two guys, why? Ravendra also got into what?
Ravendra still looked at Hantara. "Tara, we go home yuk? We need to talk."
*ouk!
Uh*?!
Hantara cursed the content of her heart that was released. Why is he this? In fact, a few days ago he came forward undaunted by 'rebellion'. Now then? Why is he so happy to see Ravendra show up and call him 'honey'?
It seems that Hantara himself is still a part of—, not Ravendra.
"Come, Tara~" persuaded Ravendra is still just as gentle. Hantara. He turned to his two friends who were still surprised. As if slapped by two realities; the engagement and tenderness of Ravendra to Hantara.
Just hantara was still shocked. If this is a dream, Hantara might believe it. But this reality—s difficult to be trusted by the intelligence of his brain that capacity is not how much.
Exploring Hantara's confusion, Ravendra clasped the girl's left hand and took her away. Hantara lowered her head because it was so unfortunate—because it was held so tightly by Ravendra.
Gianna couldn't believe what she saw. Want to scream angry, but must know the place. That's Gianna. A graceful girl who does nothing without a second thought. With a heavy heart, Gianna caught up with Ravendra and Hantara who walked outside.
Meanwhile, Lia and Sagara throw a glance. From the look of Lia's eyes, Sagara knows that his best friend is disappointed and sad. "Why ... Tara didn't say anything to us, Sa?"
Sagara exhales slowly. "Actually since Bang Raven came to buy Tara mixed rice, I've felt something is not right, anyway."
"Keep, why are you quiet?"
"Well, how do you want me? If they're just desperately hiding the fact that they're engaged, when I have to fan out to the whole world?" sagara has a point.
Lia nodded lethargicly, "So, all this time they had more relationship huh? And we don't know anything, but we're his best friend ...."
"There's always a reason for every behavior, Lia." Sagara continued eating. Seeing that Hantara's jumbo meatballs were not eaten, Sagara shifted the bowl closer.
"Lo thought, what reason does he have that he doesn't want to tell us about his relationship with Ravendra?" Lia is still not satisfied.
Sagara glanced at a glance, continuing his chewing.
"Lo."
"Did?" Lia tilted her head inexplicably. "Why am I?"
"Yes think again, Sister Lia. I don't want to blame, but what else? I think that's one of the right reasons, why Hantara did not tell us about her relationship with Bang Raven." Sagara devoured his jumba meatballs calmly, while Lia thought hard.
"Indeed, what did I do, until Hantara did not dare to talk? But he was silent anyway, just as I asked Kak Ra—'s number" Lia choked, then looked at Sagara as if asking; because I have a crush on Kak Ravendra?
Looking at Lia's look, Sagara just nodded. Lia grunted softly. "So ... all this time I've also hurt his feelings dong?"
...•••••...
Pursuing Ravendra and Hantara, Gianna unceasingly called Ravendra's name so far from the crowd. Before Ravendra opened the car door for Hantara, Gianna grabbed and pulled Ravendra's right hand, holding nothing.
"Rav! What the hell are you?!" Pissed Gianna.
Ravendra snorted lazily. "I should have asked, Gi. You're a— now what's up?" the man brushed aside Gianna's hand.
Hantara. I did, why did it happen too?
Ravendra glanced at Hantara, then cast his cold gaze at Gianna. "Yes, why? He's my fiancee, Gi. You forgot?"
Gianna was flabbergasted, as was Hantara. The difference is that Hantara's cheeks meet red with embarrassment, while Gianna holds back anger. However, Gianna loves Ravendra very much. He didn't want to be seen in front of that guy.
"I'm your boyfriend, Rav! You love her death just like me!" Gianna won't lose.
If under normal circumstances, Hantara would throw up just to hear it. Gianna who had been admired, for some reason so flat with him. Yes, Hantara is still aware not to elevate himself. Just chill! He still has no grace!
"former." Ravendra said with emphasis.
Hantara. They broke up? Then, what was Ravendra doing to the meatball stall? Don't you want to pick up Gianna? Keep on doing what?
"No! I don't want to break up!"
Lah? Hantara wishes she could throw something at the girl.
"Gi," Ravendra looked tired. "We broke up. I don't want anything to do with you anymore."
"But why do you still want to shuttle me—"
"You forgot? I did it because I felt guilty for being your boyfriend."
Heh? Ravendra's turn that makes Hantara amazed. What is this kid in mind?
"You ...." Gianna glazed. "You're sorry you're dating me? After the years we've been through, Rav?"
"Yes, I'm sorry." Ravendra said the following opening the car door for Hantara. Within seconds, Ravendra's car drove off from Gianna with reddened eyes holding back tears.
"What am I wrong, Rav?"
Gianna wiped away a drop of tears that so sassy fell without permission.
"Damn! It's because of Hantara. The girl of inattentiveness who dared to call Ravendra from me. Yes, I am the same child."
...•••••...
In the car, Ravendra and Hantara were silent to each other. Hantara glanced at Ravendra whose face looked hardened. He thought, maybe the result of the quarrel with Gianna earlier. Exhaling slowly, Hantara so could not bear to see the beautiful face of Gianna who glazed earlier.
So he ventured to begin. "Why?"
Ravendra glanced at a glance, as if waiting for Hantara to speak. "What do you mean?"
Hantara squinted both of her eyes.
"Rav, don't get thrown around the question." He said try to be patient. "Aren't you in love with Gianna? Why did you break up with him and ... even ngajak me?"
I don't think I'm asking, why did he choose me? There I was too confident, even though yesterday show off Kak Jojo to him and Mama. Hantara holds it in her heart.
"You're my fiance."
Hantara. It can't be like this! Ravendra was obviously serious when he said that. However, something within him was screaming; it was not right. It has been five days not met and the attitude of the guy even changed like this—for sure is nothing.
"Rav, I know there is no way that dating for years can lose to me who is just fiancee and before marriage we have promised to split—"
Ravendra turned his head, about to interrupt Hantara's words about the latter. But Hantara had already silenced the man's mouth with her continuation.
"Honestly why, Rav? After that you can go back to Gianna's arms and I can last the same Kak Jojo."
Ravendra gripped the steering wheel of the car firmly. He doesn't like to hear Joshua's name called. Dimming his momentary emotions earlier, Ravendra took a slow breath.
"Why don't you believe me, Tara?" ask Ravendra.
"I don't believe that easily, Ravendra. Especially after your treatment today. Then just when I want to eat meatballs—mamun who? The darling? Who are you calling? The devil?" cecar Hantara did not miss the opportunity.
Ravendra. "You're a demon dong?"
"DARK!!!"
Ravendra. Misspeaking. He forgot one thing that the woman was always right. "Yes I call you! You're my fiance!"
"Oh yeah? No more calling Gianna?"
The car stopped at the square. Waiting for vehicles from the West and East to cross each other. Amidst the wait, Ravendra removed her seatbelt.
Suddenly, the handsome face of the man was already right in front of Hantara's face.
Hantara. He could only rewind his back until it stuck to the window. "Why-why?"
Nervous? Is clear!
Ravendra looked at both of Hantara's eyes in earnest. I don't know what the guy was thinking. In the first seconds, Hantara could feel her entire body warm up. His cheeks must have been as red as tomatoes and he cursed at it.
However, in the seconds before the lights on the traffic signs turned green, Hantara realized something in Ravendra's gaze.
It's not a loving look.
It was a gaze that managed to evoke old memories.
Just now, Ravendra was looking at him full ....
... iba.
