Aura Story
It's Hard

The car driven by Hafis, the older brother of Aura, began to walk slowly. Until the eyes of Aura can no longer reach the view of the campus.

From earlier, in the car Aura just remained silent without a sound. The girl was just staring at the street with a blank look from behind the car glass. One second Aura was reluctant to just turn her eyes on Anita.

Anita understood, the woman was very understanding of what her daughter felt at this time. But Anita was unable to do anything but witness the disappointment that Aura was currently feeling.

True, Anita does know everything. Anita knows everything about what happened to Aura. Because all this time, Aura is a girl who is very talkative and very talkative. Not one bit he missed by himself. Whatever Aura was facing, the girl must have told Anita everything.

But all that changed after Aura felt disappointment towards Kevin more or less three years ago. When Aura started trying to stay away from Kevin, the girl's attitude changed drastically. The aura is more often daydreaming and sometimes seems uninspired. Like at the moment, for example.

Three more years Aura tried her usual course, eliminating Kevin from her mind. But Aura still couldn't. As attractive as any man out there, somehow Aura is very difficult to forget the man who did not even glance at her at all.

I don't know, let alone Anita the Mami. Aura herself did not understand why she could be like that. Sometimes Aura also cursed herself. Why is he too stupid, it is hard to forget a man he has never even gotten at all.

Even the last time Aura met Kevin was a year ago. Kevin and Farrel graduated from Trisakti University. Until then, until now Aura never again met Kevin. I don't know where the man is right now Aura has no idea.

Every day, every second Aura tried to remove Kevin's shadow from his mind. But why does it feel so hard? Even Aura never had any sweet memories with Kevin at all.

Since one year ago. Aura only hopes that a miracle will come to take Kevin on his graduation day, giving him a simple bouquet of flowers even if it is for the last time, Aura is okay. Aura just wanted to see the man witness the happiest day of his life. But all just wishful thinking. Because what Aura found at this moment was merely disappointment.

Maybe Aura should have thrown everything away, trying to live life without the shadow of Kevin who is absolutely nobody. Open your heart to a man who is sincere with her. Like Faris for example?

Rendy who is none other than Papi Aura and Hafis the older brother had not stopped paying attention to Aura from the front view. Rendy momentarily turned her eyes back, glancing at Aura for a moment who was still focused on staring at the streets blankly. Then that gaze moved on Anita who was currently sitting beside Aura. The brown-eyed bead looked at Anita, asking for a question mark there.

Anita of course understood, the woman also closed her eyes gesturing for her husband not to ask anything and let Aura like that alone.

Aura threw her body rough on the mattress still with her wisdom kebaya. Right, the girl just got home. It felt like Aura was really feeling tired, physically tired and also heart-weary even feeling.

For a moment, the girl spread her hands on the bed with her legs dangling by the edge of the bed. Aura stared at the ceiling of the room with an erratic mind and perhaps only herself knew.

Aura's eyes closed, without her noticing, the clear feather again managed to escape from Aura's eyelids. His heart felt broken. The disappointment really felt deep.

Because to be honest, Aura indeed never again expected that Kevin would reciprocate her feelings. But the girl only wanted one thing, meeting Kevin at a happy event like today even if for the last time.

Not long after, the door of Aura's room opened slightly. The girl immediately woke up from her daydream. The aura first swept away the tears that had originally dripped down her cheeks before the girl sat down her body. Aura turned her gaze to the side, until the figure of Anita she found was currently standing in the doorway.

Slowly, the middle-aged woman approached, sitting her body on the edge of the bed right beside Aura. For a moment, Anita stared fixedly at Aura's face which was still clearly a disappointed look.

"Mommy knows what you're feeling right now baby. Mom knows how you feel. But you can't be like this. You have to open your eyes. Maybe he's not the best for you. And Mami believes, there are still many good men out there who want you, love you sincerely" said Anita trying to convince Aura.

"Mi, am I too bad? Don't I deserve a little attention from him? I never meant for him to return my feelings. But I just wanted to see him for the last time when I set foot on that campus"

"Darling, nothing is inappropriate. Everyone deserves the best. And maybe, maybe he's not the best for you. Sometimes life is not according to our will. But trust me, God will always give his best"

"So from today, please ask me to forget everything. Your journey is still long. You can't be like this. You only hurt yourself when you don't know now he thinks you don't either. Don't waste your time."

"Where is Mami's daughter always cheerful? Mami wants you back to what you used to be. When you don't know him. And Mami's sure, you can love me"

Aura looked at Anita's clingy eyes, before the girl hugged Anita tightly. That clear thread had currently managed to escape on Aura's cheek.

"Thank you Mi, Mami is always there for me, Aura dear Mami"

Anita rubbed the soft Aura penggung. "Mommy loves you too" Anita said. "Now you take a shower, keep changing. Faris is under your waiting" Anita said then after their embrace came off.

Anita cupped Aura's cheeks with both hands. The woman swept away the tears that were currently wetting her beautiful daughter's cheeks. While Aura was silent, the girl looked at Anita with a flat face. "Sister Faris?" aura's lips spoke slowly.

"Yes, Faris is waiting for you downstairs"

"When did Faris come here?" Ask Aura.

"Mommy doesn't know, either. You better take a shower, change your clothes, keep a sneak peek at Faris below. It is not good to ignore guests. Yes" Anita said softly.

Aura nodded. "Yes Mi" Her heart was still with a frown and Aura's mind was showered with question marks. What does Faris need to see the girl at his house?.
