Chapter 14
. After Rama's return, Yugito remained silent in the gazebo and stared at his two children in turn. Yugito is still curious about Tio's different attitude towards Raisa.
"Tio. I want to ask you something." Tio, who was judging Arisa, became silent and faced her father preparing to listen to what Yugito said.
"Why do you always ignore Rais?" Yugito asked next, the astonished Tio could only narrow his eyes looking at Yugito.
"Ahh Tio also has a question for dad." This time it was Tio's turn to be curious about what her son was about to reveal.
"Why do you pay more attention to Rais than Aris?" Yugito was silent for a moment looking for answers so that his two children did not misunderstand.
"Yes. because Rais is sick. And the disease is very dangerous." Yugito replies by assuring himself that the answer is not wrong. Tio nodded slowly as if he understood his father's answer.
"Hemmm so, huh? Without me answering my question, I should have known why I cared more about Aris. Apart from Aris not getting the attention of father and mother, Aris also has a severe stomach disease." It was seen Arisa patting Tio's arm that leaked her secret without hesitation.
"The stomach is not too dangerous when compared to cancer." Arisa was suddenly silent for a moment, she felt her body suddenly frozen to hear her father's words. However, Tio instead smiled meaningfully.
"Well, here's dad's answer. I think Rais is cured and he's satisfied with the attention of his father and mother. So, why do I need my attention?" Although it sounds relaxed, but for Yugito this expression of Tio has crossed the line if his intention is just to joke. "Ups... Did I misspoke? It doesn't seem like Dad? I said the right thing." Arisa is increasingly uncomfortable with the chatter of her brother and father who might return to be a quarrel.
"Ah. Brother Tio. He said tomorrow brother has business. Better sleep now, brother." Persuade Arisa while withdrawing Tio's hand to leave in front of her father.
"Arise. You don't have to switch your father and brother's conversation. Dad's tagging you just want to avoid this conversation right?" But Arisa was silent and reluctant to respond to her father in the slightest. "Aris, when you graduate, I'll get you your report." Yugito managed to make Arisa turn to him with a sparkling look.
"Dad doesn't have to promise me things you can't do." Tio said back fading Arisa's hopes for a moment. "Sorry dad. Me and Aris want to sleep." Tio then pulled Arisa's hand away from her own father. Yugito stared at the moon, which was currently covered in clouds so that the light began to dim.
"Have I really failed at being a father?" His murmur slowly lowered his gaze then sat on the gazebo floor wistfully.
. On the weekend, Arisa spends her day off with Rama in the city park. The two went for a walk and bought some snacks to accompany their every move. Exams are in sight, and their purpose of college has been determined. When the two discuss about their destination campus, Arisa looks moody because it is different from the campus that Rama entered.
"I thought you were going to that college, too." Complain Arisa.
"The cost there is too high for me. If it wasn't for my mother's request, I wouldn't have gone to college. I want to find a job and help mom find money to pay for Gilang school."
"Don't Rama. Dear your achievements." This time Arisa changed her spirit and hoped that Rama would follow her spirit.
"Either, I'm looking for a campus that I can reach."
"For what reason have I turned my eyes to others, while I have obtained the perfect, and I am so grateful to be accepted by you." Arisa just stared at the words of Rama, he did not expect there would be people who said that he was perfect and some were proud to have it.
"Rama, I'm getting scared of losing you." Lirih Arisa with a soft bow.
"I still want to be with you Aris." The mind of Rama who cannot express it directly. He was too naive of fate, where he did not want to burden his family, but in the depths of his heart, he also still wants to live and spend his youth cheerfully like other children.
. In short, all 12th graders finally face the final exam. Arisa always diligently learns with the door locked so that no one enters and messes with the learning process. And after the exam is over and the grades have come out, Arisa tries to express her intention to enter an elite campus that is only entered by the children of the rich. At first Arisa was so excited and her face was radiant when entering her father's workroom. But the smile faded when he found Raisa who was already in the same room. Raisa's face looks so happy to welcome her arrival.
"Dad Aris wants to go to college...." Arisa did not continue her sentence, she deliberately hung the phrase when glancing at a best campus registration form. No other, the campus is the campus that Arisa wants to enter and has been her dream for a long time.
"Dad listen, you want to go to the same college as Rais. Since Rais already knows, so he brought 2 forms so you can fill them out now." Said Yugito who realized the meaning of Arisa's gaze on the paper. Arisa's breathing suddenly tightened, and her body became trembling. He felt that something was blocking his breathing and throat at this moment. Anxiety makes him unable to just speak the letters alone. After being silent for a while, Arisa adjusted her breathing to make her heart calmer.
"Sorry dad. But Aris wants to get into campus Xxxx alone." He said as he forced a smile and then left the study. Raisa immediately follows Arisa to the family room, then pulls Arisa's hand until Arisa stops instantly.
"Why did you change Aris' mind?" Peeking Raisa was suddenly annoyed by what Arisa said earlier.
"I haven't changed my mind." Arisa replied so casually.
"Then, what does that mean? You didn't go to Yyyy's college because I went in there, did you?"
"No. I don't really."
"Continue?"
"I went to Xxxx campus for a reason of my own."
"If not for me, then for what?"
"Because there are Seno and Rama. Are you satisfied with my answer?" As Raisa fell silent, she felt she could say nothing more now.
