The Tears of Love Eliza

Chapter 1: Little Friend

The girl in blue hood was in a hurry to clean up her books scattered on the floor of her room. That's Eliza Halwatuzahra. His hobby studied until night and finally let his books scattered on the floor.

"Eliza.. hurry!" the voice of her brother shouted to her name.

"A moment, brother," he cried as he quickly put his book in the bag.

He was holding his bag. Nimbly he went down the stairs of his house.

"Be careful Eliza, it will fall!" shouted her mother who saw Eliza like a fidelity as she went down the stairs.

When Eliza had reached the bottom of the stairs, she squatted for a moment to neutralize her breathing which was now boring. Then he stared sinisterly at his brother who was laughing casually while eating bread.

"Sister Ray is evil! Tell Eliza to hurry up but she's eating herself, too" she said.

"Haha!" his brother, whose name was Ray.

Ray Bonanza's real name is Ray Bonanza. An older brother from Eliza who likes to prank his sister. But Ray's love, he loved Eliza.

Her mother shook her head "You're Ray, don't get tired of what your sister keeps doing" her mother said.

And this is Arneta Halmahera. Middle-aged woman who still looks young at the age of 40 years. Her mother is often called Neta. Neta was a very loving person to Eliza.

Eliza hugged Neta while pouting while looking at Sister Ray cynically. Then he saw his father who was now heading towards them.

Eliza ran to hug her father. " Dad, Ray's bad sister is Eliza!" eliza fights like a child.

And this is his father. His father was Bonanza Mahesa. Just like his mother, his father also looked young. The age of father and mother is only 3 years different.

Mahesa stroked her daughter's head "You're Ray, don't be evil father's little daughter again ya," he warned.

Eliza stared at her sister as she stuck out her tongue "tap!" eliza sarcasm.

"Bas with the little boy!" ray's teasing saw his spoiled sister.

"Belgium!" reply Eliza.

Neta invited her husband and son to sit down. After they sat down, Neta prepared bread for them to eat breakfast.

"Dek, take dong," said brother Ray while pointing to the milk located nearby Eliza.

Eliza took a glass of milk and gave it to her sister.

After smearing bread with their family's favorite chocolate jam, Neta served them breakfast bread.

On the other hand, there was a man in his 19s. He walked down the campus corridor while hearing the murottal Ustadz Mishary Rashid Al-Afasy through the earphones in both ears. His lips moved slowly following the Quran.

His name was Aarav Tora. A man with a high body posture and his face that looks shining because it is always washed by ablution water. His charming smile makes the women want to have it.

His steps stopped in the park. Then he sat down where he used to sit, and he opened a guidebook on pre-wedding which he had just taken from his bag.

"Willy!" shouted someone who appeared from his right side.

"Adnan Arab! Say hello first to cake, even ngagetin," said Aarav reminded his best friend.

His best friend, Adnan Sanjaya, chuckled. "Assalamualaikum, Akyi Aarav" he said.

"Wa'alaikumussalam" replied Aarav.

Then Adnan's views point to the book held by Aarav.

"Lo want to marry Rav?" adnan Alerts.

Aarav had expected, Adnan would definitely ask like that. Because now in his grasp he holds a book about marriage, automatically Adnan must think Aarav wants to get married.

Adnan nodded his head "Oohh. kirain right," he said.

"That's an important science, Nan. So later we know how to live a household if you are married," said Aarav.

"Haha that was later. The important thing is to pursue the goal first. Later if the cave has become a doctor continues to make hospitals in France, then the cave is looking for a future wife," said Adnan smiling while staring at the sky.

Aarav confirms the words of his best friend. "Aamiin, hopefully granted," he said.

"Stupid is not going anywhere" said Aarav again.

Aarav remembered his little friend. When he graduated from Elementary School, he moved to Jogja. As a result, he separated from his little friend. He remembers the last day after they played with rain, he and Eliza went to a tree house near their house. And the next day, Eliza's loud cries accompanied her departure.

He remembers how sad it used to be when Eliza saw him for the last time before he moved. Many times Brother Ray tried to calm him while at the airport, which Eliza instead added to tears.

Aarav ruffled his hair. Really, he misses Eliza a lot right now.

"Woy, why the hell?" adnan asked who saw Aarav suddenly scrambling his hair furiously.

Aarva did not answer unless he looked up at the sky. The clear sky suddenly looked cloudy. He could have guessed, soon it would rain.

"Eliza must be happy to see this," murmured Aarav slowly.

Adnan who heard Aarav muttering softly could only frown at his baffled forehead.

***

It rained down hard. Eliza who had arrived at the campus courtyard ran to shelter. The end of the veil is a little wet. Instead of entering the campus, he instead stood for a moment while daydreaming staring at the rain.

His mind returned to light on the last day he was with his best friend.

The flashback

"*Tora.. Do you really want to move?" eliza asked with teary eyes.

"Yes, don't cry. One day we will meet again" said Tora to calm Eliza.

Eliza wiped away her suddenly dripping tears. Then he stood up holding the tree in the house.

"This tree listened to your words just now. One day he will definitely collect your promise to return" Eliza said, holding a tree.

Aarav stood up and held the tree "Well, this tree will collect my promise one day to return" he said.

Eliza smile. He calmed down because Aarav had promised to return one day.

And that day was their last day together*.

Flashback off

Eliza smiled looking at the rain. He was sure that one day Tora would come back to greet him. Like the rain, that will surely come back after he leaves.

"El!" the voice he knew was shouting his name.

Eliza turned her head, looking at her running best friend towards her "Be careful Lala, slippery!" peeker Eliza who saw her best friend running.

His full name is Caramel Lala. Lala was Eliza's best friend since 3rd grade High School. And who would have thought, now he met again with Lala at the University of Gentara.

Lala gave a big grin "Hehee, sorry," he said.

"Kok even bengong here anyway, yuk in." Lala invites Eliza into the campus while holding Eliza's hand.

Eliza and Lala immediately went to the classroom while chattering along the corridor they passed. Not them actually, rather just Lala.
