The Girl Who Missed Love

Chapter 18's

Tomorrow I go to Arkana's house, but I don't find anyone there, just one security guard. Who told me that the Arkana family was going abroad. "well, sir, thank you."

That thing I talked to my mother, Arkana Gilang family contact. Mom told me.

"If indeed the Arkana family will disappear just like that, you should just decide your engagement with Arkana. You don't have to get engaged with her anymore. I don't want to hang up your relationship like that. I want your relationship to be clear and serious" my mother told me.

"But mother, what if at any time the Arkana family comes, and holds it accountable. My status is the same Arkana is still engaged." I said lirih.

"Just like Aurel. The Arkana family also did not give any news to the mother's family. To you, to Mom or to Dad.

"They have indirectly severed the family's leash. And I don't like it that way. I don't want you to live like this. Though the plan is to marry you about six months. Is it close enough?" my mom said a little Bego.

"But, it doesn't have to be that fast Mom. I have to be patient first, who knows Arkana will come to you with news of his arrival here. I'm still hoping to meet my fiance Arkana. I don't want to expect another mother first.

"This status still wants me to be clear. I'll find out about Arkana Atua's family. Where is he? I'll find them until I get them?"

"Do you dare to go abroad?"

"Who said Arkana was going abroad?"

"Who knew he was going abroad?" mom said.

"Let's see, it's important that I try to get to know where they are. I'll find out first about their whereabouts."

"Why to the extent, like you don't have your pride. I don't like you fighting for money people doesn't work for you!"

"Mother, patience!" I said to mom. Trying to cool off the mother's emotions.

"Mother, it doesn't come to your heart that you're being tortured like this. If you run out of patience later, you immediately face anyone who tries to do something like this! Just play without telling anyone!"

"Mom will give you a chance with Aurel. One week you look for your fiancee, if you don't meet, you just break up with her! I don't want to wish their family the same. His son is not so profitable here either!

"Mom hope you understand me!" Mom left after telling me that. God, why do I have to accept this kind of trial. Arkana and her family are not wrong. Could they have left because of some business?

Lord, help me, strengthen me to accept this trial!

If I think, that time is long enough for the transition of Mr. Ilham's family. His father was Arkana and Reni's mother was Arkana.

But my status as Arkana's fiancee, I still think positively if I still have a chance to be Arkana's fiancee next. Unless Arkana really tells me that she doesn't want to get engaged to me anymore.

For a while, Arkana can still be contacted later on social media.

I'll message him on his Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter account.

I'm lucky that I can meet Arkana on social media. Hope it is amen. The rest is up to God to answer.

...***...

I smiled to myself with such hope. I know that the Arkana family is all right. They accepted me. But right now, I'm really losing them. I miss their families. Then where should I go.

"Aurel, you don't want to go to school, baby..?" Mom greeted me. May you still give me a chance to wait or give me time to wait for Arkana to arrive, to return to Indonesia with her family.

"Oh my god, please help me and strengthen me in this relationship." I said in prayer. I'm going to go to school even though I feel sad because I won't see Arkana again. My most friends are Yeni, Sulastri and Evi.

I went to school on a motorcycle. School has entered. It's eight in the morning. God, there's some kids coming out, man. I don't know whose name he is, I don't know. It seems like she is my underclassman. Do you know what class I am? I'm in 3rd grade. I'm about to graduate soon and I'll be taking the exam soon.

"Excuse me..!" I said to the teacher and friends. Teacher Winda saw me come in.

"Aurel, come in!" my mother said to me. He is an IPA gutu. I felt so scared and so scared.

"You're late, why are you so late? Just woke up, woke up, or did you forget it was Saturday?" said Ibu Winda to me who was immediately greeted by the laughter of the classmates. I look towards them.

"Sorry Mom, I woke up bad luck. I, I forgot that today is Saturday." I said so. I was so embarrassed to talk in and stand in front of my friends. Oh my god, why is it like that. If Arkana knew, she would laugh to see me like that. But, right now, I don't know who to tell. Arkana is no longer in my life. And I can't tell anyone.

"You just stand outside for thirty minutes. Stand under the flagpole!" my mother said to me. God, I still want to accept this punishment after what happened to me. I don't want to be like that, God. But never mind, I have to stand under that flagpole and have to bear the shame in front of friends.

"Good mom. I'll be there." I replied to Vinda's mother. Finally I went and stood under the flagpole. By ourselves. Behind me I saw Yeni talking to Miss Winda. I do not know in need of Ama same Miss Mother who has punished me now. Oh my god, forgive me.

Not so hot but just a little sultry. I looked around the school, deserted. No one came out, except for some of the teachers who were there. Is teaching.

Suddenly Yeni came to me. "Aurel!" Sweep me. He came to me while walking. "Yeni, why are you here..?" ask me to Yeni who just came.

"I'm a permit to Miss Winda. I want to accompany you here."

"No need Yeni. I could really. You'll be hot." I said to Yeni.

"You're hot, not me." I said to Yeni.

"Yeni, Aurel, you bole in right now" Madam Winda told me. I'm ready to go to class now. I saw some of my boys in class. There were Angga, Edi, Tian, Ahmad and several others who were doing schoolwork. Oh my god, I'm scared. What is clear is that they want to finish doing the try out exam. Mama Winda came to give me that exam assignment. After thanking me I immediately did the job. My life is safe at last.

...***...

I started doing the schoolwork well, though a lot was wrong and I didn't know. Unlike Ayu who is very smart to fill school problems. He was always ranked one after Angga. Angga and Ayu are smart kids in school. I know it.

After an hour or so, I finished working on it. There are still some who have not finished doing the exam. There are three children. One guy, two girls. They are Tio, Wati and Ana. I don't know why. As far as I know they are indeed less smart and less responsive in learning. But I will always pray for the best, because they are my friends at school. Without them, I can't do anything. They are the ones who have given me the spirit of learning every day at school. Although I didn't tell much about my school learning world in the previous chapter. Or in the previous section.

Remember, if I still lose someone I miss and love, that is Arkana.

...***...

I finally went to the school cafeteria with my friend Yeni. I'm still a little nervous about Arkana's sudden departure. I don't know if Yeni knows what this is. Arriving at the canteen I chose a seat, I felt disturbed by the crowd in that place.

"I want to move." I said to Yeni.

"Where to go?"

"To perpus."

"Yes, it's okay." Yeni wants to invite me. Finally, Yeni and I went to the library together. I walked with Yeni while walking down the classroom floor and passing through the first-class room one by one. Classroom 10A,10B,10C,10D,10E,10F. Next to the library. Classes 11A to 11E are on top. I remember the school movies I saw.

Finally arrived at the perpus, the place was deserted. In it there are some visitors about five people sitting while reading and three people walking while looking for a book. I came together with Yeni.

After I logged in, wrote a checklist book that the officers were guarding. I wrote names, addresses, classes and needs plus signatures. Yeni too. As Yeni writes I look around. The books are placed on the bookshelf and look shabby and old. The school library makes me smile. Old books that are not updated make me upset. But it's okay. Better the library in town. The place is clean and well maintained. The books are good too.

I heard the voices of some children who were entering with a noise. I see who, they're writing absent class. I wonder about them. Why is that so. Oh that turns out to be Dilan's friends. My class sister.

"Yeni, do you know Dilan?"

"Dilan, oh that tenth grader?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"No, I don't know him. You know him?" Yeni behind nanya.

"No, I don't know."

Yeni just kept looking for the book she wanted. I don't know what books, Yeni usually likes story books like me.

After that, a woman came. I don't know who he is. He immediately went towards Dilan and chatted for a while. Dilan then went with him. I don't know who that girl is, she could be her boyfriend.

"Eh, how come I didn't see Arkana?" Yeni.

"Arkana, he's the most still in his class."

I can talk like that even though I still feel stubborn and unwell. My feelings were immediately bitter.

Yeni turned towards me. He fixed his position by standing up.

"There's a strange Aurel..?" Yeni asked again.

"No, nothing." I'm trying to cover up. Yeni then picked up a book and waited for me while opening the storybook. Stupidly I have until now not found a storybook that I like.

"What story book?" I said in my heart. I picked up a book called Dilan in 1991. Books With chocolate covers.

"Yeah!" I then invited Yeni to move to the seat.

Ten minutes, five minutes in the cafeteria and 15 minutes in the library. And I still haven't bought anything. Not breakfast yet. Just shut up while sitting down and reading a book. I pretended the spirit of reading books even though I was not so intent on reading those books. Just know it.

Suddenly someone came, which surprised me.

"Excuse me..!" the voice came.

I directly looked. Oh my god, he's a man I don't know at all.

"Johan!" yeni said.

Oh lord. Johan, who else is he. I looked towards Yeni. He was so happy to see the man coming. Name's Johan. I just know him now.

"Just a moment..!" Yeni pampered to me and put her book on the table. Yeni moves to the bookcase with the man named Johan. A little mustachioed man.

I was in her house alone. I got nervous, who else to go to. I saw one girl reading a book. I continue to read books. I'm quite steeped in that reading with Milea's character.

After a long time, about ten minutes Yeni came and the man did not know where.

"Yuk, in. It's ten." It's ten."

"Yes." Yeah." I left the storybook on the reading table and went straight with Yeni to class. The class is empty. I exhaled and felt hungry.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Thank you for reading this story. Sorry, the conflict is not too heavy.
