Swan Cherophobia

Chapter 25 The Red Jago

...“What is the reason for this fire?...

...What is the reason for this fire of anger?...

...Your resentment or your jealousy?"...

Two days later,

Jaro and Ansa are both preparing to leave for the sanggar. At about eight in the morning, Jaro had brought a small bag and immediately boarded his motorcycle.

While Ansa has finished putting on her makeup and does not forget to tie her black hair. Today he wears sports pants and a black t-shirt. Then he took a red-black jacket.

Ish, I completely forgot to return this jacket! Oh, come on, I'll give it back. But now I wear it first, hihi! thought Ansa.

In sanggar,

Ansa was startled by Aunt Ning's whisper. The surprise made him smile. "Yes, Bi! I'll be there right now!" his screeches.

Ansa ran into Aunt Ning's house, climbed the stairs and headed for the roof. Without him noticing, there was Jaro following him.

Jaro peeked at Ansa from behind the door. Who is she meeting? Why was his smile so wide?

A second later, Jaro recognized him. Ranu!

There, Ansa immediately hugged Ranu tightly. After nearly 5 years of being separated by distance, now they can meet again in person.

Ranu takes off Ansa's embrace, then wipes Ansa's tears. "Hey, don't cry. I'm already here, you know."

"It's a long time, Mom! Bummer!" Ansa pats Ranu's chest.

"Sorry."

They looked at each other, then Ranu's face drew closer to Ansa. "You're more beautiful."

Ansa closed her eyes. The warm breath of Ranu blew his face, even taking oxygen around him. And finally a hug and a kiss happened between them.

Jaro sees what Ansa and Ranu are doing. His chest felt tight, his eyes began to tear. Whatisthis? What the hell happened to me?

A few minutes later,

Ansa and Ranu have returned to the court and are engrossed in chatting with the dancers' friends. Suddenly there was a sound from the musician who enlivened the courtyard.

Today there will be a band performance. Tris as the brother of traditional music guide and Richard as the brother of modern music guide. They both gathered the citizens of the sanggar to gather in the courtyard.

"Come on, let's go everyone! Sit back and enjoy our band!" tris.

"Come on! Let's rock 'n roll together!!" cry Richard.

The dancers have not yet begun rehearsals, but are instead told by the musicians to watch their performance. As a result Ansa complied and sat in the front row, with her dancing partner.

On his body is still attached Jaro's jacket. After this, I'll return the jacket.

A few minutes later,

The band members showed up one by one. From drummer, guitarist, pianist to vocalist.

Jaro became the second guitarist and vocalist, although initially this was the coercion of Nick, his former mentor brother.

Jaro does not like to sing. But Nick asks her to sing, arguing that Jaro's voice has never been shown on stage.

As Jaro held onto the guitar, his eyes clashed against his jacket that was being worn by a woman. His eyes moved to the woman's face. Ansa ....

Even Jaro stared at Ansa's hand that was holding Ranu's hand. Whatisthis? Why am I angry?

Ansa looked back to the front, precisely in the direction of the vocalist who was looking at her. He understood, and immediately nodded his head. As if he wanted to say 'Yes! I'll give it back later. Just relax.'

And the show begins!

Tell them all I know now~

(Tell them everything I know now)

Shout it from the roof tops~

(Speak it from the roof)

Write it on the sky line~

(Take it in the sky)

All we had is gone now~

(Everything we've got, now it's gone)

Tell them I was happy~

(Tell them that I'm happy)

And my heart is broken~

(And my heart is broken)

All my scars are open~

(All my wounds are gaping)

Tell them what I hoped would be~

(Tell them what I hope to be)

Impossible~

(Not likely/impossible)

Finish the band show, though,

The atmosphere of the court returned to normal, because the citizens of Sanggar returned to their respective places. Including Jaro and his musician friends. They returned to the music studio with musical instruments.

"Yey! We're ready for the stage!" exclaim Richard.

"Heh not! It's 3 months away!" tris protest.

Jaro felt his body relax, plus his mind that actually remembered Ansa. He chose to bow.

"Bro! After performing, why even lethargic?" ask Tris.

Jaro did not answer because his mouth felt funny. He just shakes.

"Oi!!" a familiar voice for Jaro. Makes Jaro turn his body around.

Look Ansa who is having fun with musician friends. "Dine!! The band's performance was indeed the most electrifying to the court!"

When everyone was laughing, Jaro only smiled faintly. But her smile disappeared as Ansa approached her.

"Jaroos. Here's your jacket. I didn't wear it, I just brought it." Ansa's words without a smile.

Even he wasn't smiling at me. I better get out of here, Jaro thought. He just stared at Ansa's face.

"Ro?" call Ansa. Then he immediately left. "OKAY. Bye," sheave.
