AYRAFKA (Dream Fool)
Chapter 13

Aira arrives at school after being ushered in by Abi. Normally, he would be greeted by Rafka sitting in the parking lot. Or suddenly appear in front of Aira's class, then return to her class after greeting Aira. But today is very different. Rafka did not appear anywhere, even until school was gone. It is like being lost in the earth.

Indeed, before Aira entered the school, Rafka often truant, or suddenly went home while the lesson was still going on. However, since Aira everything has changed. Rafka began to diligently go to school, although not fully follow the lessons.

Until the bell rang, Aira never found a sign of the presence of the mannosed man. Some of his friends also no one knew where Rafka was when Aira asked. Her mobile number is also off, and Aira suddenly becomes worried because she remembers the incident last night, when she refused an arranged marriage with Revan.

Aira walked lethargic towards the gate, there was already Abhimanyu waiting for her with a look of wonder.

"Why did you just come out?" asked the handsome guy while holding out a helmet for his sister.

"Nothing," answered Aira listlessly.

"Where's cowok? Tumben doesn't nempelin you." Abi looked behind Aira who was indeed no one, the school was already deserted.

"No entry" replied Aira who then went up behind Abi.

"You know what, it's his birthday?" ask Abi before starting the engine.

A birthday? Aira had never asked that special thing.

"You know where he is?" ask Aira. At this time, Abi's motorbike had already driven away from the school area.

Abi did not answer Aira's question. As 'former friends' Abi certainly knows the places that Rafka used to go, although now they are still hostile.

At home, Abi still does not answer Aira's question and Aira thinks Abi must not know about Rafka's whereabouts at this time. Even at the dinner table, Abi remained silent not to discuss Rafka again, making Aira's feelings more and more unkillful. Many times he was in and out of the chat room on his phone, but Rafka was still not active as well.

Eventually, Abi takes Aira away.

"Where the hell is it?" ask the girl while tidying her hair that is still half wet.

"Road, let that face not bete anymore," he replied while riding on the bike.

"My hair is still wet gini, it will smell yes, do not talk from just now," grunted but obedient, wearing a helmet and then riding on his twin motorbike.

The bright afternoon atmosphere still enveloped the streets of the capital. The sun is warm right now. Abi motorbike stopped in front of a roadside stall, there were several motorcycles lined up neatly in front of him. Several groups of young people were singing accompanied by guitar quotes by a young man who was looking for Aira.

"That's your guy, I live first, if there's anything on my phone, I'm not far from here." Abi told Aira that he had gotten off his bike.

"False Abi handsome. You're not going there?" ask Aira. He took off his helmet.

"No, I can't go there, you know why. I'm leaving first" Abi said before pulling the gas.

Aira knew that Abi and Rafka did not get along, nor did their friends.

Rafka who had seen Aira earlier, immediately ran to the girl of his dreams that he had been worried all day.

"Ay, are you here?" rafka asked after standing in front of Aira.

"Where are you going? Why truant? Why can't I contact you?" A series of questions immediately came out of the mouth of the beautiful girl.

"My phone's at home. I'm sorry I can't tell you, I intentionally let you miss me" Rafka replied with a smile.

The guy seemed to forget his sadness that made him run away all day. Upon seeing Aira, the pain in his heart seemed to no longer exist.

"Happy birthday Raf," said Aira who makes Rafka can only blink funny.

Know where this girl came from if she was having a birthday, thought Rafka who seemed to forget that Abi also knew her date of birth.

"Rafka." Aira patted Rafka's arm which was just dumbfounded in front of her.

"Huh, yeah. Thanks Ay, do you know where I got my birthday from today?" ask Rafka. They were still standing by the road, where Abi dropped Aira off.

Aira's answer made Rafka even more clueless.

"Can we celebrate your birthday together?"

"Sure, wait a minute!" Rafka ran over to her friends. He said goodbye while taking a jacket, then returned to meet Aira who was not far from his motorbike.

Rafka takes Aira to a quite crowded park. Aira sat on the swing, while Rafka sat in front of her girl while folding both her hands over Aira's knees.

"I miss you Ay," said Rafka after staring at Aira for quite a while.

"Why did you skip?" asked Aira whose hand was still holding on to the swing.

Rafka suddenly remembered what her papi had said last night, that she was an illegitimate child her parents never expected.

"Raf, Rafka. Why even daydream?" Aira clapped Rafka's hand on her knee.

"It's okay, I used to skip it."

"I was betrothed to Sister Revan, you know, Raf?"

Rafka was silent, the direction of her eyes was no longer styling her girl. He threw his face at the group of children playing rented scooters, whose route happened to pass them.

"You agree?" he asked without daring to see the look on Aira's face. She was afraid that the girl would say yes with a radiant face, it would definitely hurt her heart.

"I don't want Raf, I'm comfortable with you" Aira replied honestly.

Rafka immediately turned her head and looked into Aira's eyes. What Aira said earlier triggered her heart to work faster.

"Yes, Raf. I'm comfortable with you." Aira seemed to understand with the look of disbelief that Rafka gave.

Rafka grabbed Aira's right hand, and grasped it with both hands. "So, my girlfriend Ay, I'll make you more comfortable."

"But you should know Raf. Mama is equally papa ngizinin I make a courtship."

"Do they want you to get married?" ask Rafka.

Aira is confused as to how to explain to the guy, that his parents forbid him from dating because Rafka is a delinquent.

"It's still small to say marriage, '" protested Aira.

"Keep why you were fooled by Revan when you were a kid, Ay?"

"Yes too. Are you ready to marry me?"

"If it's not Ay now, from tomorrow I'll find work, let me be ready for your marriage. Now, we're going out, how about it?"

Aira looked at Rafka once more, then with the tip of her lips slightly interested, Aira nodded.
