The ocean ran while holding Aristia's hand, their breaths gasping. Once it felt far enough the Ocean stopped, then let go of his hand. They looked at each other and smiled and laughed together.
The ocean looked at Aristia who was still adjusting her breathing.
He had not laughed like this for a long time with Aristia, because this girl had always avoided every time they met.
Now they walk in a relaxed manner. Ocean glanced at Aristia beside him who was smiling. That smile was still the same, only now that he had rarely seen that smile.
Either Aristia stopped smiling at him or Aristia no longer wanted to smile at him.
They accidentally met, he saw Aristia sitting alone in front of a mini market. The girl was eating sausage and bread.
The ocean is approaching.
Although Aristia allowed him to sit, they remained silent after that. No talk of a word. No more Aristia stories or laughs like before.
When he was about to return home, Samudra suddenly pulled Aristia's hand and ran as if someone was chasing them.
Aristia who had no time to think reflexes followed the running Ocean.
"Why did we run?"
Now they had walked leisurely and their breath was in order again.
"So, I just want to run."
Aristia laughed hearing that, "Geez! Brother now becomes strange." he said, "There is a run of malem like this just because you want to."
The ocean smiled, now Aristia was no longer as silent as before. The ice that was feeling began to melt.
"Where is your school?"
"My school is fine, brother. Why-why not...."
Aristia smiled.
"It's not your school, it's also Tia I'm asking."
Aristia laughed, she tried to be relaxed.
"Surfer up, like a schoolgirl in general."
Aristia looked at the sky for a while, she sighed, there was a hint of relief enveloping her heart now.
Is it because he walked alone with the Ocean or because he was laughing and forgot that this man beside him had rejected him.
The ocean glanced at Aristia, then suddenly she put her jacket on Aristia. Aristia suddenly stopped her steps.
"Let's be sick."
"If you're worried about it, you shouldn't reject me. Don't keep pushing me to leave, but simultaneously pay attention" Aristia muttered.
"What?"
"No need for a brother." Aristia now voiced out, she wanted to take off the jacket that the Ocean wore.
Samudra quickly touched Aristia's shoulder, putting back the jacket she was trying to take off.
"You'll get the flu."
Aristia did not answer the word of the Ocean. Suddenly he felt annoyed at the Ocean.
"Come, it's here."
Without seeing Aristia's change. The ocean took Aristia's hand to cross the road.
Aristia withdrew her hand from the grasp of the Ocean.
"At hand. Let's go in."
Samudra explained with a smile, because Aristia had been silent.
Aristia said her voice was almost inaudible.
The ocean was puzzled by Aristia's sudden changing reaction.
"Don't be like this! if you're like this, what should I do?"
"Why you?"
The ocean said softly.
"Sister has pushed me away. So I can't get too close" said Aristia, now that her breathing is no longer as regular as before, she was angry.
"Tie...."
The voice of the Ocean sounded softly when it said its name. Ocean did not want Aristia to always shy away from him. That'sallthatis.
"Don't consider me a child anymore. Don't consider me a sister anymore. Because after that day I never thought of you as a big brother again."
Aristia's tears are now shed. Somehow he was angry because of the attitude of the Ocean, but it was a trivial thing.
"I was in too much of a hurry apparently, and forced you to act like you used to."
Aristia looked at the Ocean in front of her, the Ocean was momentarily silent then continued her words again.
"Well I won't think of you as a child anymore, what if we became friends now."
"Do you know!? it's hard to see my brother. Especially if I see brother is with Kak Lintang."
Aristia paused her sentence, then she continued again
"Even just to ask if your relationship is more than friends I don't dare"
The ocean was silent, her mouth speechless.
The time he thought he could heal his wounds was in fact unable to work.
Aristia crossed the street, she set foot into her house.
Aristia left the Ocean herself, she deliberately slowed her pace hoping that the Ocean would catch up and chase after her.
The Ocean waited to call his name, but no sound was heard.
Aristia quickened her footsteps and entered into her room while crying.
Aristia laid her body on the bed, covering her face with a pillow. Suddenly his HP voice rang, he thought it was the Ocean he saw the screen turned out from Aswin.
Aristia lazily put her phone back on the small table beside her bed.
The night grew darker, following Aristia's also darkened heart. After a long time of crying, he washed his face.
Aristia sat on her bed, she carried a mirror and placed it in front of her.
Long time he looked at his face in the mirror, then he suddenly laughed to see the reflection of himself in the mirror.
"Tia, you're so ugly! look at your eyes like that, your eye circles are black."
Then he laughed remembering his stupidity earlier when he was with the Ocean.
It turns out laughing at yourself in front of the mirror, it's really fun like this. Thought in the heart. Aristia took a breath, she headed for her study table.
"Sometimes it cracks so that light can come in."
Aristia wrote on the note, then she tore the paper and stuck it to the book.
"Tonight I'm not telling you about the man who gave you to me. I want to unravel my own feelings, and you may be happy in your castle there."
He said when he saw the Cinderella doll, he walked to his bed, laid down his body and took the blanket and fell asleep.
