The Sky for Ara

Your Warm Stare

"Thank you, Pil. I will not miss your services tonight," said Aro Lirih right in the ear of Ara wrapped in yellow hijab.

Ara immediately pulled herself from above Aro's body, she felt bullied because Aro apparently did not sleep. Ara tidied up her slightly messy hijab. He walked towards Omar and Atar who apparently fell asleep on the sofa in front of him with a small table.

Ara told Aro who after saying that sentence immediately went to sleep hugging the bolster very tightly. The fragrant aroma of bed linen and pillowcases and bolsters spoils his sense of smell.

In an urgent tone Ara asked Omar, "Sister, where are you guys from, Mas Ar mabok?"

Omar put the phone on the table in front of him and answered Ara's question, "From the party's birthday party at the top, Ra."

"Why can't Mas Ar sampe be like that?" asked Ara again, turning her head and pointing at Aro's body.

"He drinks mostly, Ra. He was so upset today his take failed to continue," said Omar made Ara think for a moment.

"Well, why did it fail?" search Ara.

"Bed scene, Ra. Aro did not want to," explained Omar made Ara round her eyes.

"Since when did Mas Ar dare to take that kayak scene?"

"Yes that's why he's never been, so he's in trouble. Dikatain dong same director, filming a mess of our end to the party and Aro mabok there," bertubi explanation Omar makes Ara's blood immediately boil.

Ara was furious, it felt like she wanted to attack Aro right then and there. Don't you remember Aro on Akash and Bumi when he downed that illicit drink?

"He used to think of it?" asked Ara, her eyes kept on Aro who was asleep.

"Often, Ra. We always drink every week. Only, if mabok gini yes just a few times, deh," said Aro back to make Ara round the eyes.

"When you play girls?" ara asked, she hesitated when she asked that.

"Ngex?" Omar asked back and made Ara nod in disarray.

"Gue guarantee Aro never sex with any girl, even ...." Omar stopped his sentence.

"Even what?" urge Ara.

"Many female artists who deliberately ngajak him that, but Aro never tempted," explained Omar makes Ara feel relieved. At least Aro did not fall into adultery.

After getting enough information to stifle his chest, Ara went to Atar's room. He would sleep there, while Atar himself slept in his room on the long sofa that Ara used to relax reading novels.

Omar laid his body on the bed, next to Aro who had been knitting his dream from earlier. In the mind of Omar felt salute to Ara, because the girl painstakingly took care of Aro who never even cared about him.

After the prayer shubuh Ara immediately to the kitchen make ginger water for Aro. Throughout the process of boiling the warm drink, Ara was busy stringing what words were right to explain the condition of Aro on Earth.

Until the drink is ready to be served, Ara still did not find the right sentence to say to Earth. Ara poured the drink into a large glass. A puff of smoke with a characteristic ginger aroma caressed his sense of smell.

Just turning over, the Earth with its blue hijab came.

"Darling, what are you doing?" ask the Earth while yawning.

"Bikin ginger water, Bun," replied Ara while pointing with her chin towards the glass she was carrying using a tray.

"For whom?" search Earth.

"Mas Ar, Bun." said Ara.

"Mas Ar?"

"Yes, Mas Ar malem came home with Omar as well," explained Ara to make the Earth nagging understand.

"Sleep in my room" said Ara.

"What's? two rooms?" ask Earth in shock.

"No, Bun. I slept in the Atar kama," explained Ara making the Earth breathe a sigh of relief.

"Keep what's the water doing?" searching the Earth makes Ara fret.

"Mas Ar seems to catch a cold, makanga I made ginger water," said Ara.

"That kid, just worry," muttered the Earth.

After that, Ara asked for permission to immediately head to her room. Arriving in his room, Aro was still asleep on his back with Omar.

Ara placed the tray filled with ginger water on a small table beside the bed. He immediately went to Aro and woke up his brother.

Ara poked Aro on the cheek with her index finger, saying, "Mas, get up! it's noon, pray first!"

Not long after, Aro woke up. He opened his eyes. Squinting before the round eyes finally opened perfectly.

"Wake up!" yell Ara once again.

Aro didn't sit down, he held his head. It still feels very dizzy and heavy.

"Why, Mas?" ask Ara, worried.

"Dizziness, Pill," replied Aro.

Ara immediately took ginger water that was now warm, like her heart every time she looked at someone.

"Drink first!" ara's word while helping Aro to sit up and hold his body, Ara brought the glass closer to Aro's lips.

The scent of ginger filled the nasal cavity of Aro. The warm sensation gives calm. Aro sipped the drink. The sweet taste mixed warmly filled the oral cavity, pharynx, to the esophagus, and then felt warm in Aro's stomach.

"Snake, Pill!" he then greedily finished the drink.

Ara laughed as she picked up the tissue on the dresser. He picked up the thin, delicate piece and reflexed his hand raised to sweep it to the wet end of Aro's mouth.

Aro caught Ara's hand that was involuntarily touching her lips. Ara was riveted, her narrow eyes were rounded. Look at each other with Aro's round eyes. The two stared at each other inten into their respective beads.

Both ends of Aro's lips lifted, slowly, slightly, but finally widened and cut down the smile. The smile wrapped in twinkle happily from his eyes.

"Don't make me add the same debt of gratitude lo," said Aro made Ara pull hands and throw his eyes.

"I'm sincere, don't take anything!" ara was wrong. He who had been slightly bent, stood upright while pretending to tidy up his neat hood, and made Aro chuckle.

"Here you go, Mas!" exclaiming Ara again slashed the awkwardness within her.

Aro nodded, he got up despite still feeling dizzy. While Omar, still fun to spin the thread of dreams. Either it has become a fabric, or even crushed like a tangled roll of yarn with no end.

Ara immediately picked up the prayer mat and spread it facing the qibla as Aro took the ablution water. He ventured to wake Omar, because he did not want to bear the sin of Omar who did not pray. At this time Omar is in his house, do not let the sin of disrespect Omar also affect his family.

Waking Omar was not difficult, he woke up after Ara stabbed her distended stomach. Omar immediately sat down and leaned against the head of the bed.

"Sorry, Brother. Anyone who visits our house is obliged to perform prayers, so Brother pray first!" arra's exclaim made Omar nod in amazement, even though he himself forgot the last time he prayed.

Aro came out of the bathroom, his face looked fresher. Ara decides to leave the room after returning to remind Omar to pray. The fat man nodded again despite being confused what to start with.
