The Love Traces of RAHWANA

Ravana 7's.

The break is the time I've been waiting for the most. Me and my friends immediately left the class to go to the cafeteria. But someone standing right at the door stopped me.

Elya was looking at me angry. “Awan, let's talk.”

“Nothing I want to talk about.” Cold answer. I kept walking past him while keeping both my hands in my pants pocket.

“I have many things I want to tell you.” Elya pulled my arm. Forcing me to stop.

Some kids look at us. I hate being the center of attention like this.

Alright, I will obey Elya's will this time. I followed where Elya pulled me. Turns to the back of the class.

“What do you want to talk about?”

“Why do you always avoid me?”

“Color I'm lazy to see you.”

Will he be hurt by my honesty?

“Women. I still love you. I don't want to be separated from you. Please don't put this up.”

“But I don't want to be with you anymore.”

“Are you so hurt because of what happened before? That's a sign you love me so much. I'm sorry. Please, come back to me.”

Gosh darn. How do you make this child understand? I no longer have any feelings for him.

It seems he misunderstood. I'm not the kind of guy who's gonna cry over someone who shows me up. There's no time for that.

I'm not hurt in my side. I just feel like it's over, yeah. My time is too precious to cry for an Elya. I've been satisfied dating her for 2 years.

“It is true that I love you. But that was before. Now, not anymore. My heart, it already has an owner.” I intend to be firm with Elya. It seemed like if it was just a figure of speech, he couldn't understand it.

“No. Not likely. I know you love me so much, Cloud. I know that you can't possibly turn away from me this fast. Yeah, I was wrong for cheating on you. But I've apologized to you many times. Can't you forgive me yet?”

“I've never been mad at you. So what should I forgive? Cheated on? Your right. I'm not at all concerned about it. You need to know one thing, El. I, never felt at all hurt when you cheated on me.”

“What do you mean you're not hurt? Don't you love me?”

“Entah. I have to say what that feeling is. But obviously, it's not love. I just like you. That'sthat's all. And at that time I thought there was nothing to lose even if we were in a relationship.”

I saw Elya's face turn a dead red. It seemed like he was really angry at the moment.

“Now, I hope you understand and stop chasing me. Because I'm also chasing the woman I love.”

“That means your feelings are unrequited, right? Hemh.” Elnya smiled cynically.

“That's my business.”

“Then, I also need to affirm one thing to you. I, will never give up on getting you back.”

Elya left me. His nature is like that. Obstinately. He'll try to get whatever he wants.

But make no mistake. I have a head that's as hard as Elya's. And I, too, will get what I want.

After school, I decided to stop by the campus. Vote my luck whether I will meet Kuara, or not. I want to make it look like we met in an unexpected situation. Usually, women like such surprising things. And the most strategic place to wait for him was, the campus gate.

Actually you don't know if Kuara's home yet. I'll just risk my luck today.

“Awan!” Whispered spoiled voice that I have memorized is who it belongs to. Heni. My most beautiful cousin.

“Mbak Heni?”

“What are you doing here?”

“Nothing. L'm... Um. Want to buy cincau.” Gosh darn. What kind of reason is that. Is there only a vending service here?

Heni likes to do that. With any brother. No matter the woman or man, she loves to hold people.

“Heheheh. Thanks.”

There. From the inside, I saw Kuara who stopped and watched me. At first I didn't understand why he was just sculpting even after I did.

Face blushing. He did not dare to look me in the eye. When I spoke, he only looked to the left and right.

That expression, I've seen it. And I know what feelings can make a woman's facial expression so stiff and awkward. Is he jealous of me?

Even though I am excited, not playing. If Kuara feels jealous of me and Heni, that means she also has some feelings for me, right?

So, I'll raise my bet today.

“Away home?”

Kuara nodded. His smile looks stiff. “Yes already, I'm leaving first. Daaa.”

And without me expecting it, Kuara just left from there. He stopped the taxi and left. I can only catch the taxi that took him away.

“Who is it, Wan?”

“Callon lover.”

“Gosh.” Ma'am Heni was surprised and immediately pulled himself away a few steps. “Did I make him misunderstand? He looks angry at you. How's this?”

I'm just smiling. “In fact I am even happy if he is jealous.” Because it means he has feelings for me.

Plaque!

Heni's mom hit me in the arm. “You're this. The thing men like you should avoid the most is not to make your woman jealous. Don't you know how terrible it is that a woman is jealous?” Heni's mother grunted in annoyance.

I chuckled back. But, that anger must be because he has feelings for us, right? If Kuara doesn't care about me, she can't be jealous.

“What did he study here?”

I'm nodding.

“Wahhh, your taste why be older?”

“It's only one or two years apart. No problem.”

“Hahahaha. You're this. Turns out to like the more mature.”

I don't know, the feeling I have right now for Kuara, feels different. That feeling is in my heart. I used to think that my feelings were probably just a temporary attraction. But the more I get here, the more I like it. I want to have it by my side.

“You can drive?” I offered myself to Mrs Heni.

“Not necessary. I brought my own car.”

“Ya already then. I'm going home first.”

“Daaa Cloud.” Heni waved to me.

Because of meeting Kuara, I forgot to buy Mama Heni ice chirp.

The expression on Kuara's face still tickled in my memory. I don't know, imagining that Kuara is jealous of me, that's enough to make my heart glee instead of bragging.

Does this mean my feelings are reciprocated? Does that mean Kuara has feelings for me too? It seems I have to launch my attack.

“Home home, Son?” My mother's voice surprised me. “What are you thinking to such a surprise?”

“Hehehe. Nothing, Ma.”

“Hai, Wan.” I immediately saw Mas Mahli emerge from the kitchen. He's my cousin from papa's side. He was an orphan, so papa and mama helped him.
