AYRAFKA (Dream Fool)
Chapter 10

Rafka invites Aira to go for a walk before returning home, but the girl immediately refuses. He did not want to make his mother anxious if he left without saying goodbye.

"Begging permission first with my mother if you want to take me away," said Aira while shouting, because the noise of the vehicle must make Rafka difficult to hear his words.

"Okay, if mama-in-law permits, we go for a walk again yes," replied Rafka by shouting as well.

Aira who was behind him could only smile. There is a sense of comfort that he feels with Rafka. Although Rafka is annoying, but actually she is funny and kind, that is what Aira has in mind at the moment.

Not long after, they arrived at Aira's house. As per their agreement, Rafka will ask her mother Aira for permission to take her daughter for a walk.

"Ma, I'm home." Aira kissed the hand of her mother who happened to be watering flowers in the yard.

"Sore, Auntie," said Rafka who also joined his mother Aira.

"So late, too," replied Mama Sofia.

"Em, Auntie, I'd like to take Aira for a walk if possible" Rafka's permission was given to Aira's mother.

Mama Sofia looked at her daughter who just looked down while holding a smile. Mama knows that Aira also wants to go with Rafka, but mama herself is very worried if Aira gets closer to Rafka who incidentally is open to good children.

"Em, how are you, Rafka. Aira is a girl, it's not good to walk with a boy." Mama noticed the disappointed look on Aira's face.

"Mante, I promise I won't mess around. Aunty knows my mother, right, if Aira blisters just a little, Aunt can sue me," replied Rafka.

"Mama don't do it dong, Rafka is good, Ma," bela Aira.

Mama Sofia could not bear to see Aira's face turned moody, finally she took a deep breath and exhaled violently.

"Yes already, but do not go home," said Mama Sofia in the end.

"Ready Aunt," replied Rafka.

"Good thanks, Ma." Aira hugged her mother who was still holding the water hose.

"Yes, I've been there showering and changing."

"Ready Ma. Rafka, I'm taking a shower."

"OKAY. I wait here" replied Rafka.

After Aira entered her house, Mama Sofia invited Rafka to chat on the terrace chair, accompanied by warm tea and fried bananas that had just been served by Mama Sofia's maid.

"It was a long time ago that he suffered, so we don't want him to get hurt again." Mama Sofia opens a conversation with Rafka.

"Yes Aunty, I will not hurt Aira. I promise."

"You know, papi you're planning to match Aira to your sister?" mama Sofia asked as she sipped her tea.

"I don't know for sure, Auntie, but if I may give you an opinion, it's not better that Aira herself decides the choice of her heart. If Aira really likes Revan, I wouldn't mind, as long as it's Aira's own choice." Rafka calmly answered Mama Sofia's question.

"Yes, you're right. It's Aira who will decide, but if your papa threatens you, what can we do?"

"I mean Auntie?" Rafka doesn't understand what Mama Sofia meant. "But threatened Om and Aunt to match Aira and Revan?"

"Yes that way, no matter who Aira's choice is, it would be better if she chose Revan. Sorry Rafka aunt didn't mean anything."

Rafka bowed his head, he realized all this time he had indeed become a delinquent. Perhaps that was why, Aira's parents rejected her and wished Revan to be Aira's companion.

"Yes, auntie entered first yes, just back home aunt want to cook, Aira may be down again," said Mama Sofia who then stood up and entered the house.

Rafka finished the tea served to her. His mind wandered far away. What yes, he can get Aira, should he give up before trying.

Aira was out of the room, and shaking hands with her mother. After that, he came out and saw Rafka who was daydreaming.

"Door." Aira surprised Rafka who stood up suddenly because she was so shocked.

"Ay, just ngaggetin anyway," the protest was so know Aira who surprised him. However, seeing the laughter on the face of the girl of his dreams makes Rafka actually smile to watch Aira who is still laughing.

"Eventually you daydream anyway, daydream what try, if later you know the taste of loh," replied Aira after successfully controlling her.

"Dreamy of you Ay, you're getting more beautiful, until I'm confused."

"It's dreadful, confused why?"

"Without someone as beautiful as you," replied Rafka who made Aira manyun.

If only Rafka knew what Aira was like, maybe Rafka wouldn't have said that, Aira thought.

"Udah yuk, the road hunt, later kemaleman loh!" invite Aira who walks first down the stairs next to the terrace.

Rafka takes Aira to a shopping mall. Not to watch or to the time zone but he instead took Aira to the side door, where people used to smoke, and passing motorbikes.

"Tok us here." Aira frowned, she thought Rafka would take her to the movies, or at least hang out at the cafe.

"Udah here is more exciting to know," said Rafka who invited Aira to sit on a long bench. Armed with tea drinks in plastic cups that Rafka had bought when he had just entered the mall area. "I want to talk to you a lot, Ay. Can you?" ask Rafka.

Aira sat next to Rafka, watching the several bikes passing in front of them. The place is indeed the area crossed when entering the mall with a motorbike, more precisely it is the road to the parking lot.

"What are you talking about?" aira asked, he took a sip of the milk-flavored tea Rafka had bought for him.

"Yes, what a chat. What do you think I am?" rafka asked while looking at Aira's face.

"Where's what?"

"Well, what do you think I am?"

Aira was a little confused by Rafka's direction, but she tried to answer as best she could.

"You, it looks like a delinquent, a lebanese, a tombal, um, let alone yes." Aira tapped her temple with her index finger, as if she was thinking hard about Rafka.

"What else Ay?"

"Em .. don't know, why the hell is that?" ask Aira.

"If I'm the same Revan, I'll lose a lot." Rafka looked down while sipping her lemon tea.

"Rafka, I'm sure you're good, maybe your association is wrong." Aira patted Rafka on the shoulder, making the handsome guy stare at her. "I am also not as perfect as you imagine, my life in Surabaya is much more sad." Aira pulled out her hand, then sucked out her drink again.

"If you don't mind, I'm ready to hear your story."
