Hello Arvin!
Lost in Stereo

The rain began to subside, leaving water points on the windows of Arvin's car parked near the Groove Bar. Today Arvin invited him to watch his music show there. Last time I was here, Nara was heartbroken.

Stupidly looking for Arvin and hoping that after listening to him sing, there will be luck coming. But only misfortune follows Nara after. He should have come home and prayed to be lucky. Not looking for Arvin.

Nara is still reluctant to go down, actually hates having to come here again. This place only left bad memories for him. But Arvin had opened the car door, waiting for Nara to get out of her seat and come down with him. Finally he stepped out his feet. Walk to Groove Bar with Arvin.

Ghofar who was standing guard outside nodded and smiled at Arvin, then at Nara. In the audience still did not come. As usual there are only Fortunata band members and employees who are already there. Prepare to come out and open the place.

“Wuiiddiihi.. Someone brought a wife.” Goda Gege's. He is indeed the most sprightly and expert in flirting with Arvin.

Arvin shifts the chair to the front of the stage, telling Nara to sit there. His other friends immediately stopped from his activity that was busy with the musical instruments they played.

They noticed Nara, and nara looked at them awkwardly. He was not used to being in a place like this. Surrounded by foreign men. I just feel like going home.

“Known my friends, who hold the drum, Aldi. Keyboard, Eka. Bass Gege, and Guitar, Restu.” Arvin said pointing one by one his friends.

“Where to marry Arvin?” Ask Restu.

“Inner pressure.” Nara answered with a smile. They laugh in unison. Then taunt Arvin. Hearing that Arvin could only frown.

“Gue should have said that.” Arvin Reply.

“Lo here want to invite lo sparring wife what the hell? Relax cuy.” Gege.

“What's the matter noisily?” Said Ganjar who suddenly joined. Holding a broom in his hand.

“Well this baj* creature Ganjar, who loves to drink right?” Arvin pointed to Ganjar.

“Lo still yes the same I said that, which is wrong lo. How is my revenge still?” Ganjar said do not accept, “Lo know he's upset me how long? 2 hour. Ngoceeeh continues because I love you to drink. Though it's just that you can't resist yourself.” Ganjar complained to Nara.

Nara just smiled. Given the bitter taste of the pink drink on his mouth. Had he not tried to drink it, all the chaos he was in now would not have happened. Nara reflexively held onto her stomach, feeling a sudden tension.

The audience began to arrive. Now Nara is sitting in one of the seats near the bartender. The show had not yet begun but the audience was already quite crowded occupying the empty places and ordering drinks. Arvin is also preparing and gathering with his bandmates.

“This is real juice.” Kata Ganjar put a glass containing strawberry juice in front of Nara. Then go behind the bar again, take the order.

Nara got out of her chair and went to the toilet. He had to empty the tank before the show started. Nara was in the toilet.

Some people were heard coming in, laughing and chatting. 3 Or 4 people came. Nara doesn't know. They continued chatting while dressing up near the sink.

“Lo know Arvin is married?” Said one of them.

“Serius lo? Says who?” Friend responded.

“There's. Secret. Info from the child here. He said the girl was pregnant first, kept asking the Arvin for responsibility.”

“Anjir is not ashamed. Is it really Arvin's son?”

“Do not know. I think there was also a ngaku-ngu also dehamilin the Arvin, but not married tuh.”

“Si Nadia? But it wasn't Arvin's son. Tested all macems, not proven. And tol*lnya he ngaku pas si Arvin just 1 month back to Indo. Yes where people believe too anyway.”

“Terus now his son actually dong?”

“Totally. He said he was being taken to Arvin's apartment. Yes I know that abis did.”

“Agrey cheap.”

“Ya try shadowin deh lo who ngajaknya people like Arvin, I also want to slam the price times. Discount.” They were laughing together.

“Gue saw the girl who.”

“Continue? Saucy gak?”

“Dih. Cakepan Keysa ah's. Distant slamming. I guess what.. Not really his style. Time to the event kayak gini pake kaosan, jeans and jacket that anyway. Want to watch ball.”

“Kok want the same Arvin like that? His former spec is very high.”

“Yes like Arvin is also forced. He must be flirting with Arvin until he does. Really good benefits?”

“Iya, jir. Gatel very swearing. Not according to his geeky style.”

“Be careful is usually a geeky and pendiem it tuh actually sneaky and gatel.”

“Kasian ih Arvin should marry rich girl like that.”

“So she broke up from Keysa?”

“It seems, or maybe still dating behind hahaha”

“Ih ah, just start again. Pingin clay Bang Arvin handsome.”

“Suami people, anjir.”

“Biarina. I'm the affair just want.”

They came out laughing. The show seems to have started. The sound of MCs welcoming the audience. But Nara was still in the toilet. Knees limp. He was deeply hurt by all the accusations against him.

Why is it that only Nara is branded ugly for all these incidents? Nara was the most hurt. He was the most hurt and affected by Arvin's actions. Why are people accusing him of flirting with Arvin? Tears were falling uncontrollably. She hate. Hate Arvin more. Hate his fate more.

Arvin lied. He could not protect her from people's malicious remarks and accusations against her. He can't protect her at all. Because always, and of course the women who are considered guilty.

For 10 minutes Nara did not come out of the toilet. She tried to control her crying, but could not stop. He tried to quell all the anger, shame, hurt, and disappointment that brought him down.

Nara braced herself, coming out of the toilet room at last. Looking at his reflection in the big mirror near the sink. His eyes were red and swollen, his spiky hair was a mess.

 Aye right. He's not at all interesting to look at. Only using a shirt coated with an oversized jacket owned by Arvin, which Arvin forcibly wears on him for fear of Nara being cold by the night air and jeans are a tombrong.

Unlike the charming figure he had seen on Arvin's phone. Now the object of Nara's hatred is increasing in this world. Himself.

His head was so dizzy when he returned to the music show. The boisterous sound of the audience singing along and the colorful lights that highlight to and fro. Nara sat down at her place. Feeling confused and confused. To take away all the insults and accusations made against him.

The song stops, someone speaks in front of the mic. Probably one of Arvin's bandmates. Nara did not raise her face, just stared at the table full of emptiness. He also did not want to see the stage, towards Arvin.

“Today is special. Arvin wants to sing a song to someone. Do you know if Arvin is married? Today he took his wife to watch. Thank you for applause dong for his wife Arvin who is sitting there.” Eka said excitedly pointing at Nara who was sitting down.

Nara who heard that immediately stared at the stage. The other audience stared straight at him. All eyes are on him. Nara really hated all those stares. Applause sounded. Acoustic guitar began to be played by Arvin, heard the song Ever Enough from A Rocket to The Moon sung by him.

All the voices Nara heard were not songs from Arvin, but voices whispering behind her back from those who were accusing her. Nara was sure everyone was saying the same thing about her as the woman in the toilet. Consider him a teaser, cheesy, itchy and the only guilty one here. The music continued to go on to other songs that Nara never listened to.

Nara felt lost between music and people's gazes. Getting lost in his own feelings that were filled with wounds. Anywhere, only Nara would feel this kind of shame. Only women would endure such unkind talk.

“Say the same Arvin I came home first.” Nara said to Ganjar who was busy making orders.

“Hah? Where are you going? Nara!” Call Ganjar. But Nara has disappeared into the crowd, “Mampus and I scolded the Arvin again.” Continue to serve customers.
