Archabian
8. Getting to Know Closer

Arka rushes home after successfully delivering Rey's daughter safely. Today was quite exhausting for him, the universe actually let Arka do the heavy work today. But today is not over, surely later he will get a scolding from his father at home.

Arka parked his great motorbike and began to enter a fairly large house. His feet moved and met Clara there.

"Geez, baby, why is your head?" The mother asked when she saw her son had a lot of bruises and bandages on his head.

"No papa Bun, just a small wound really," Arka smiled sincerely, at least there is Clara who still loves him. Although sometimes Clara can not dwell if already faced with Prama.

"Yes, you've taken a shower, you'll make a warm drink."

"Ehem,"

It was Prama's voice, yet the middle-aged man just passed by Arka in the living room. Whatisthis? Usually the man will nag if he sees Arka with this state, especially if he misses his basketball game.

I don't know what magic bewitched him. And Gilang, Arka didn't see that guy here. Usually the three of them will gather in a guest jokingly in the absence of Arka, and here Prama really does not see the whereabouts of Arka usually.

"Dad knows everything. Your brother was clear about everything" said Clara who understood the confusion of Arka. "Your father was angry but Gilang managed to persuade him not to be ignited emotions," he continued.

"Where is he now?" Ask Arka for not finding Gilang's nose.

"There's in his room. There will soon be an exam, Gilang is studying." Clara answered and the woman went to the kitchen to make a warm tea for her son.

Arka climbed the stairs intending to rest in her room. But suddenly his steps stopped in front of Gilang's room which incidentally is his brother. It was the sound of someone crying.

"Is she crying?" Mumbles Arka.

The guy almost knocked on Gilang's room door, but suddenly his hand stopped in the air .

"There's no way people like him cry, most likely watch a drama." Arka walked through the room to her room.

Why did Gilang cry? That guy's got it all. Family, achievements, even affection, it's all he's got. Gilang is not his flesh.

Brief story Prama and Clara have long been married but they have not been blessed with a child. So they adopted Gilang from the orphanage as a lure. And sure enough, one year they took care of Gilang the good news came, Arka was present in the lives of both of them.

But now why the most beloved Gilang? That question is constantly present in Arka's mind.

Arka stopped in front of her room because she remembered something. "Cih, he said study but instead watch the drama,"

After that Arka went into the room and rested.

Drtts

Arka laughed reading the last message from her friend. Still Reza with the cold yes like a polar bear or a running refrigerator. Or maybe he needs someone next to him? For the ice blocks to search immediately.

Is there a girl who wants to be with him?

That guy was so shut down he wasn't like his twin Razi. I don't know what reason Arka used to approve the guy joining ALTARES? Whatever the reason, it must have been well thought out.

...*****...

It was a sunny Sunday morning, as Luna used to visit her mother's meal. The mound of land was beautiful with some of the favorite flowers of the beautiful woman. Not just every Sunday Luna came here, but if she felt an unstoppable longing.

"Mother, Luna kangen."

Life is less than a mother's affection, although Rey loves her whole heart, being a father and mother to Luna. But all that is still different, the position of a mother for her child will not be replaced by anyone.

The wingless angel who gave a sense of security to his little daughter, the wingless angel who guided the little finger to walk. The memory of him with her flashed back in Luna's head.

If time could be rotated, this would not have happened if he had not played on the street carelessly.

"Mom know? There's a shitty guy at Luna's school," Luna squatted down and stroked her mother's tombstone. "Sometimes he's nice but sometimes annoying, Mom."

Given Arka's changing attitude makes Luna difficult to interpret it all. He must not quickly draw conclusions, so that no disappointment will come.

"Mother in heaven is fine, right?"

"Here Luna is the same Dad is good, Mom."

Lama Luna looked at and stroked the tombstone, sharing daily stories. In the middle of the day black clouds began to scatter, a sign of rain will soon flutter our earth. Luna got up and intended to go home even though her steps were heavy leaving this place.

"Why is fate so evil,''

The deg!

Vaguely Luna heard a male voice. Wh who? Are there ghosts in this broad daylight? The cemetery is quiet on Sundays, and most people visit the cemetery in the afternoon.

"Kok sounds familiar, yeah." Mumbled.

Luna's eyes continued to trace all corners of the cemetery, and her eyes caught the figure of people she knew at school.

The man looked sad and was talking to the mound.

Guys who according to Luna do not have feelings, it can feel sad too. Yes even though it was a natural human feeling, but Luna was still astonished by it.

Step by step Luna approached.

"Em, hi." Sapa Luna's

The man turned his head with a cold face and focused back on the mound of earth that read Maria Gayatri.

Luna crouched down to equalize herself, in her heart she asked who was this Mary? Is this the master's man?

"Lo comes here often?'' ask Luna back.

"Then this—"

"Dissipated! Can't be erased." Arka's loud voice was able to make Luna silent. Yes, that guy is the Arka guy that Luna calls annoying.

Luna was silent for a moment

Drop by drop the rain began to fall, maybe this earth is being hit sad like someone's heart.

Arka was forced to stand up and had to leave this place.

He kept going but on the 10th step he stopped.

"Don't you see the rain?" Arka cried when he saw Luna still standing in front of the tomb of Maria Gayatri.

"Huh?"

"Search for disease, lo." Arka pulls Luna's wrist and takes the girl to shelter, she can't let the rain hurt her. What if Rey finds out.

Arka takes Luna out of the cemetery and takes her to the stop where she left her motorcycle. Arka glanced at Luna who looked cold, could be seen the girl crossed her hands in front of her chest.

Arka took the initiative to take off her jacket and put it on Luna's shoulder. "Take it so you don't get cold."

Luna was surprised by Arka's movements, but afterwards she smiled. "Thank you."

Then they fell silent together, they were busy with their own thoughts. Luna who keeps thinking over the good treatment of Arka, the gang leader that Luna thinks has no feelings and is stubborn.

While Arka suddenly remembered the words of Bayu at that time.

"Lo's here a lot?" Ask Arka

"Yes, if you miss me again." Luna replied. "Lo himself?"

"It used to be a lot, but now it's rare." Given about Prama's behavior that forbids Arka from going out of the house carelessly, especially the middle-aged man continuously forced himself to practice basketball.

"Maria Gayatri that?''

"My grandmother, my beloved grandmother Na."

"Ma?" Luna asked confused

Arka looked into Luna's eyes, eyes that Arka thought reminded of someone. But if seen again they are different, very very different from the advantages of each.

Arka nodded. "Don't you call me Una?"

Because according to Arka it's funny to say that name. A special call from him, from the great chairman of ALTARES.

Day by day the distance between Arka and Luna began to erode. Arka felt there was something special about this girl.

Hopefully, no heart will be hurt because of misrepresentation.

And there was no black dot encircling their happy side.

"May I."

There was no conversation after that, only raindrops drenched this earth, no one had any intention of starting the conversation again. Suddenly Arka's phone vibrated to double there was an incoming call, Arka saw the name listed and then put it back into his pocket without any intention to lift it.

Lolly Aureliani is calling you
