The Relationship Goals

Section 11_About Bara

Bara closed his eyes, feeling a different thing happening within him. Like a person who did not know himself, he could even tell his secret to Alice. Before this, he had never told anyone, including his friends. According to him, the burden is only for him and everyone should not know with all that.

I just live with Rika, Alice. So I'm used to cooking.

Bara who recalled his words only sighed slowly and began to sit on the wooden chair by the window. His eyes looked at the clear sky which was beginning to show its heat.

“Sial,” grumbled Bara who was feeling confused. “Shouldn't I say all that to Alice who is obviously a nobody,” murmured Bara felt bad.

I took a slow breath and exhaled slowly. Restoring the calmness that was within him that was slowly beginning to dissipate. After that, he chose to go out and settle things with Alice. Letting Alice be around is not a good thing.

However, just as he opened the door of the room, his eyes were presented with a silent room. There was no Alice there.

“Where is he?” muttered Bara immediately came out and looked for the whereabouts of the girl. Bara starts looking from the kitchen and finds no Alice at all. Afterwards, he immediately stepped into Alice's room and knocked. When there was no answer at all, Bara began to open slowly, fearing that it was Alice's trap.

“Where is he?” lirih Bara who did not also see the existence of Alice in the room.

Bara closed the door again and stepped into the kitchen. He's feeling thirsty. Just as Bara arrived in front of the refrigerator, her eyes stared at a note attached to the refrigerator door.

I'm out for a minute, don't make trouble. I'll be home soon. Alice.

The one reading just smiled faintly. It was so thin it didn't even seem at all. “Basic. Not that he likes to make trouble,” protest Bara who immediately threw it away. He immediately took a kiss and returned to the main room. Bara would much rather watch television and rest his mind.

“Dave, you already have a lover?” asked Renita while enjoying breakfast. His shady eyes looked at Dave's face questioningly. There is hope when his twenty-seven-year-old son already has a lover. Renita hopes to get a daughter-in-law as soon as possible.

Dave who was still excited looked at his mother with a small smile. “Ma, Dave still doesn't want to talk about a girlfriend or anything. Dave just wants to take care of the real Mama who continues to succeed. Anyway Papa's still in jail, Ma. Dave will have more thoughts if you have to think of a lover who obviously takes Dave time,” explained Dave understandingly.

Renita who sniffled stupefied and stroked her son's face softly. “You don't have to do it until like this, baby. Sorry mama for making you feel burdened,” said Renita realized her condition is not possible to be left behind.

“Mama what the hell is it? I'm doing fine. I prefer something like this, Ma,” replied Dave as he blinked his eyes at his mother.

Renita who saw hitting her son's hand softly and laughed. His son often teased himself by twinkling his eyes. Usually, her husband does this.

Dave who saw his mother had returned cheerful immediately relieved and continued his breakfast. She loved her mother so much. Regarding lovers, he was afraid that later he would meet a woman who was the same as Rensi who instead brought him in trouble and destruction.

The sound of bells began to sound when Alice opened the cafe that looked so crowded. Alice looked around and looked for someone who had promised her. Until his eyes looked at a woman who was still busy with the little boy next to him.

Alice let out a deep breath and started to step. Convincing his heart not to feel hatred or anything like that. He has sincerely accepted everything that became the will of destiny.

Alice looked at Rika's growing belly and smiled. You're gonna be a father again, Randy. Alice took a quick step and headed straight to the table where Rika was. He made an appointment with Rika. There's something I want to ask. That's why he called and asked to meet.

“Hai, Rika,” greet Alice who had arrived in front of Rika and immediately sat down, making Rika look at her and smile. “Sorry I took too long, huh?” alice felt guilty.

“Not you long, I'm the one who's careless. I'm glad you're not mad at me. Anyway, my house is close from here,” reply Rika with a smile sumringah.

Alice who heard only laughed and looked at the little boy who was still engrossed in ice cream. “Hai handsome. What's your name?” ask Alice in a soft voice.

Gibran, who was still busy scooping his ice cream, looked directly at Alice and observed the face. Slowly, his smile began to grow. “Gibran, Brother,” replied Gibran with a smile sumringah.

Alice who heard directly pinched Gibran's cheek and looked at Rika who was just smiling noticed. He just remembered leaving Bara with just a piece of writing. However, the phone call was free because it would never be lifted by the young man.

“Alice, what's up until you ask to see me?” rika asked started to get curious and looked at Alice with a fixed look.

Alice who was busy with Gibran immediately looked at Rika and confirmed her sitting. “Sorry, Rica. I invite you to come in a hurry. I'm just shaming with Bara, your sister. He was always cold and spoke bitterly to anyone. In like a man who doesn't want to be touched at all,” explained Alice as she looked at Rika.

“Bara? How did you know about him?” rika asked in disbelief. Where did Alice meet Bara?

Alice nodded and looked at Rika fixedly. “I work together with him. Now he's my co-worker, but he's really sparing to talk. In fact, in a day he could just silence me. So, I wonder what happened to her because she was closed. And I know, you must know the cause, Rika,” explained Alice with a confident face.

Rika who heard exhaled slowly and looked towards Alice. “We've been foiled by our parents since childhood, Alice. I'm financing both of our lives. Our parents are not dead. They left us in difficult times. Not to fight either. Our mother went with her lover and until now she has never been seen. We didn't even know he was alive or dead. Let our papa go too. They left us in trouble.”

“That's why Bara became a cold man. He does not want to feel comfortable and also love to anyone. He wants to stay alone. She thinks all women are the same as her mother. There is only when we are on top and will go when we start to be on the bottom. He said, no one will know about his suffering,” explained Rika with a wry sneyum.

Alice who heard was silent with a shriveled heart. He felt what Bara had suffered all along. Because he feels the same way. Abandoned and lonely.
