On a clear morning, Aristia slowed down her footsteps. He entered the main gate of his school.
On the right and left near the gate there is still a garden, which sometimes occupied students to relax when resting or going home from school.
Trees that are already large enough grow in the middle of the grass. Sometimes in seasons like this, fallen leaves spread yellow rugs, which can invite anyone to throw themselves in the expanse of the natural tapestry.
Aristia breathed in as much morning air as she could. If there was still enough time, how much he wanted to sit while reading books in the park of his school.
"My Tia!!" Aristia was surprised and turned to the source of the voice. "Hallo... again daydream? a bright morning like this is perfect for fantasizing, right?" exclaim Rudi joking
"Well...." Aristia held back her laughter
"My Tia!" Someone shouted back his name.
Aristia and Rudi looked back. The princess was running after them.
"God...." The princess gasped, she said when she had caught up with her two best friends. Rudi laughs to see the Princess, "Yok we go to class." take the Princess without caring about Rudi who laughs.
"You've been staying up Rud?" the Princess asked suddenly as they stepped towards the classroom.
"Yes, last night I couldn't sleep." answered Rudi listlessly, looking dark circles in his eyes.
"Pantes this morning you're getting ugly." Princess laughs . But Rudi was silent to hear that, even though the look on his face looked upset.
They arrived in front of the class. Aswin smiled when he saw the three. Rafa is seen sleeping on the table.
"Rafa's up!" shouted Rudi. Hearing Rudi Rafa's yell remained in his position.
"For Aswin." said the Princess and sat down
"Morning too," Aswin answered the Princess' greeting, "Later after school let's watch." invite Aswin
"Sorry... But this time I am ama Tia can not come" said the Princess chimed.
Aristia heard it was about to reply, but soon the Princess nudged her hand. Aristia was only silent after being in a corner.
"Why can't you come?" asked Rudi when he really wanted to go see.
"There are personal needs" said the princess. The princess looked at Aristia with a smile.
"What's wrong?" ask Aristia
"You know Rio?" said the Princess, "Later after school she will not make sure I meet at Orange Cafe. Temenin me yes.." take the Princess.
"Well, you want to find out why you took me" said Aristia.
"I was too nervous to meet. So I'm not gonna make you. Well...well.." said the Princess memelas.
"Yes yes...." Aristia nodded her head.
*****
Aristia and the Princess sipped her drink. The princess looked at the clock in her hand. Her smile expanded, her face revealing happiness.
During this time Aristia had only heard stories from the Princess, she had never met the man.
Mario was the man's full name, and Rio was his nickname. The last time Aristia heard the Princess' story, that the man was continuing his studies abroad.
Finally today he was able to let go of his curiosity. He wondered what kind of man could conquer the heart of a princess.
"Hey... Have you been waiting a long time?" suddenly a voice greeted them.
Aristia looked at the Princess who had put on her perfect smile.
He looked back, looking like a man wearing casual clothes with slightly wavy hair.
His eyes were a bright black color that was stifling. His nose is also sharp. Aristia was fascinated with the man she was meeting, it was fitting that the Princess liked her.
"Lumayan Kak's.... Come sit down, this is my friend." Princess meets Aristia.
"Mario, call Rio" said the man as he extended his hand.
"Aristian...." Aristia said as she shook Rio's hand
"So she's Aristia, I often hear about you from the Princess" Rio said.
Aristia simply replied with a smile.
Rio then sat down in front of the Princess. The two seemed to be chatting familiarly.
The Princess always looked at Rio without blinking, from the sight of her eyes the Princess looked very admiring of Rio when talking.
Aristia looked at the watch in her hand, the time had already shown it at five in the afternoon. But the two people in front of him still seemed to be chatting. Aristia became uneasy to cut off the conversation of the two.
- Tring tring
[where are you]
"i'm at Orange cafe again" brother"
[i'll be there]
"no need brother, let me the four brothers where there is"
Long time no more reply from the Ocean. Aristia stared at the screen of her phone many times but there was no reply from the Ocean.
Seeing the agitated Aristia staring at her phone, the Princess frowned.
"Why? you feel in cuekkin? sorry...." The princess was aware of her attitude that was lacking in Aristia.
"Ehhh yes, I'm too cool with my stories yes.." looks like Rio's face feels guilty.
"Not.... Not because of you." Aristia felt bad because she was a little bored.
But seeing the expressions of the two people who were nearby like that, he instead became guilty.
- Tring tring
A message went into her phone, Aristia opened her phone.
Rio and the Princess looked at Aristia who was typing on her phone. Then he got up.
"really.... It's not because you two, brother Samudra is already ahead. I'll go out, you don't mind."
Aristia was about to leave the bench where she was sitting.
"Wait!" shouted the Princess, for a moment she paused. "You said Ocean? since when have you been nice to her again." The princess asked Aristia
"Later.. later... I explain. I'll call you. Okay?" Aristia hurried to leave the Princess. Seeing that the Princess just shook her head.
Aristia came out of the cafe, Samudra had already greeted her with a smile.
He was almost fascinated with the smile of the Ocean, but he was overcome. He remembered Aswin's text at the time.
[Believe it. But remember not to expect too much. Because if you expect too much it will only make you tired.]
"Ocean Sister...." Aristia walked closer to the Ocean.
As soon as it was close, Aristia smiled. Then they walked down the street.
"What are you doing here? by yourself.." asked Samudra.
Aristia nodded. "With my sister.." he replied quietly.
"Why do you keep him alone inside?" ask Samudra again.
"Who says he's alone, he's the same" Aristia said
"Continue why are you pouting? like an upset person" said Samudra
"I'm not upset brother. Just a little bored, the Princess was cool to hear the story of brother Rio." Aristia told me about the incident she had experienced.
Hearing that the Ocean laughed. Now he understood why the girl who was with him was lightning fast in a matter of seconds had replied to his message.
Aristia continued down the streets with the Ocean. Twenty minutes they walked.
"Wait first! Where are we going, brother?"
Aristia only realized that she did not know where their footsteps were going. He just followed the ocean step.
"You're really funny Aristia. So you just follow me." Said Samudra holding his laughter.
Really now every act of Aristia was able to make him smile. It's insane! thought.
Aristia nodded, Ocean holding Aristia's head.
Then he smiled, treated like it was Aristia's heartbeat beating like before.
Aristia was misbehaved, the Ocean instantly turned Aristia's head to the left.
There, across the street Aristia saw a night market. The lights that are already lit add to the beautiful atmosphere of the night market.
"Would you like to go there?" bring Samudra.
Aristia nodded. A red light flashed, Aristia's hand tightly held. Then they crossed the street that night.
