Pov Arden's.
This afternoon I was deliberately waiting for Alya in front of her class. Because he wanted to bring her home together.
There is something I want to know about him. Of course, the figure that Aretha and I saw was very similar to her.
Alya's class broke up as well. She came out and was a little surprised to see that she was in front of her class.
"Lho, Dane. What's up?" tanyakanya.
"Eum... Go home, yuk?"
He seemed to be quiet for a moment. Then not long nodded.
We walked to the place where my bike was parked. The atmosphere of the parking lot will indeed be boisterous in the hours of coming home and leaving school. I waved my hand at a car where Radit and Aretha were in it.
They did go home together, because I had to take Alya home. After all it seems like Radit and Aretha are having a problem.
After I gave her Alya's helmet, she climbed into the back. I'll take him to his house. Which happens to not be so far from school. In about 15 minutes, we arrived at Alya's house.
"Sit down, Den. What do you want to drink?" alya asked as we were on the porch of her house.
"What aja, Al," I said as I looked around his house.
"Yes, yes, Den." He then went inside.
And soon back with two glasses of orange ice.
"Drink first" said Alya.
I took the glass and gulped it down because I was thirsty. And this fresh iced orange just went down my throat. But when the last gulp I slow down the orange water that was about to enter the throat.
The figure appeared again, and was now standing beside Alya. He continued to stare at Alya with a glare.
"You have a twin brother?" I asked spontaneously while putting a glass on the table between us.
Alya was shocked by my question just now.
"You know what, Den?" tanyakanya.
"Why did he die, Al?" Without further ado, I immediately asked a series of questions. And that made Alya quiet. He looked down, his breathing looked so heavy. Ah, I think I asked wrongly. But I don't like to be curious and take too long to get answers.
"He died 3 years ago, because of my nolongin." Alya again tried to catch her breath that looked still heavy. "At that time, we were playing on the beach with the school. Continuing because of the fun of playing water, I did not realize that I was far from the beach. Suddenly a big wave came. I was dragged further and further away. And at that time I couldn't swim, I drowned because my legs were wrapped around something. And that's when, Asha showed up and nolongin me. But it was even he who was dragged by the waves again. I survived but Asha ... Missing. His body will be found tomorrow. After we ask for help." Alya crying. Well, I realized that I've been sowing salt in his wound. An old wound I'm sure he wants to forget. I touched her shoulder trying to calm this woman beside me.
"You can't be sad, Al. This is all fate. I'm sure Asha doesn't like you gini. He wants you to be happy. He's sad to see you continue to feel guilty like this. He never blames you" I said.
Asha looked at Alya heartily and smiled bitterly at me.
"He's here huh, Den? Where is she? I want to see you," whined Alya while shaking my hand.
"He is always by your side. He loves you, and sadly writhing you gini continues. He wants you to live your life rich first. Don't keep being alone. Don't keep blaming yourself. Let Asha go quietly, "my advice.
Alya was silent for a moment.
"He can't leave because of me, Den?" tanyakanya. I just nodded in agreement. Alya fell silent again, thoughts must be raging. But I don't know what's inside his head. "I'm going to change. I promise, I will continue to be happy for Asha" he said.
I looked at Asha, she smiled and nodded at me. "Don't forget, keep praying for him. Because that's all he needs now."
Alya nodded in spirit, and right then and there, Asha slowly faded away. Then disappear.
I was at Alya's house until the afternoon. We were only on the terrace. Both of Alya's parents were not at home. And I also intend to wait until Papah and Mamah Alya come home.
Kasian too if Alya is alone in his house. Fearfully her mind went back empty and came back sad to remember Asha.
The Pov Arden end
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
Aretha Pov.
This afternoon Radit and I went home together. We plan to go to the hill of Trenggulasih.
I can't bear to keep Radit quiet.
"Later get changed, go straight to my house, Tha. I also change clothes first. After that it was just up the hill" Radit said as we were on our way home.
"Yes" I replied briefly.
"Eh, really Tha? About Alya? Who the hell is following? Not bad?" radit asked while occasionally glancing at me.
I took a deep breath.
"It seems not evil. Maybe Mba Alya's twin. It looks so similar."
"Alya twins too? Well, it could be a coincidence, yeah. If Arden really is Alya's soul mate, they can have twins too, yes" Radit said with a smile.
We were at my house. On the porch was my father reading a book.
"Assalamualikum" I said as I got off Radit's car.
"Wa alaikum salam. It's the same with Radit. Where's your brother, Dek?" ask Dad when I salim.
Radit went to salim to Dad.
"Sir Arden again nganterin his girlfriend well," I replied origin.
"Oh, get each other's boyfriends," ledek Dad. I just glanced at Paternity.
"Radit how are you? Healthy, right?"
Ask Dad. Radit sat with his father on the porch.
"Praise god, Om. Healthful. How's om?"
"Alhamdulillah is healthy too. Where's this going?" ask dad to investigate. Because Radit's tumbenan is still a henchman here. Usually out of my breath, he immediately went home.
"Oh yes, Om. Take Aretha main to the hill. Can you please?" tanya Radit was a bit embarrassed.
"Hully? Just may. As long as you go home, don't be late, yes. Tomorrow you go to school" Dad advised.
"Yes, it's not so bad."
After getting the green light, I left them chatting on the porch. While I went inside, Mother was cooking in the kitchen.
"Mother!" call me while hugging Mother from behind.
"Eh, grandpa. Where's brother?" ask her while looking back.
"Let's go out" I replied.
"Seriously? your sister likes girls?"
"Seriously, Bun. His name is Mbak Alya, 2nd grade. Just earlier, there was a figure that looked a lot like Mbak Alya. He keeps following, Bun. So his brother Arden is going to his house now. Want to check." I plucked the nugget that you just fried.
Mother nodded her understanding, then continued cooking again.
"Who are you going back to? radit?"
"Yes, Bun. Uh, Mother... I'm the same Radit wants to play, yes, to the hill. He had my permission earlier."
"Yes, but at first eat. Don't go straight away. Mother cooked a lot. Call Radit there with Dad.."
"Ready, Boss!" I then went back to the terrace to call Dad and Radit.
We then had lunch together. Although Radit initially refused, somewhat hesitantly, but after being forced by father, finally wanted to too.
We also talked a lot while eating. I am quite comfortable and love this situation. This is not the first time we have eaten together. After my meal, I went to my room.
"Yes, I changed my clothes first." I went and went to my room.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
After the same salim Father Mother, we then immediately left.
"Tha, we go straight to the hill, don't go to my house first" Radit said after getting a message on his phone.
"Lho why? You don't change your clothes first?"
"No need. I have a shirt behind me" he said, looking back. With a look of annoyance
"What the hell is it, Dit?" manya curious.
"There's Esther at home. I'm going to meet him, '" she said.
I then fell silent. The memory of Esther's treatment and words yesterday made my mood change. Radit who noticed her kept glancing at me.
"You knp, Tha?"
"It's okay" I replied coldly.
"Ester, what are you talking about?" tanyanya flat.
This kid know where?
"It's just normal. About your relationship."
"you guys? Whose relationship is that?"
"You are the same as Esther."
"What did he say?" ask Radit seriously.
"Udah ah's. Later aja. Just focus on driving first," I refused.
Suddenly Radit sidestepped his car. He looked at me inside
"I want to know now! He said whatever you were!"
I took a deep breath, looked at Radit at a glance and then looked back at the windshield of the car.
"Ester says you're fooled, huh? If so, mending you away from me, Dit," I said quietly without looking at him
"That! Lookatme! "Say Radit with a serious face
"What the hell, Dit." I turned him down and kept looking out his car window.
Radit touched my chin and made me look him in the eye.
"I love you Areta. Only you. I'm the same Esther, I don't have any taste. It just wants her.m. I used to think of him as a little brother. No more," obviously. We looked at each other with our own thoughts.
"Yes already. Yuk, we're going to the hill. More afternoon. I'll never see the sunset" I whine. I seem lazy to discuss this matter.
Radit took a deep breath and nodded. He got back to running his car and it was only 15 minutes we got to the hill.
Radit queued up for tickets, after he had changed clothes that he had brought in the back of his car. Usually it is worn if he finishes basketball practice.
We went into that hill. The view is so beautiful. There are several photo spots that interest me and I ask Radit to capture my photo as a memory. Several times we also photographed both, by asking for help from people who were also there.
Even though it was late afternoon, there were still some people who were still at home here.
The air is very cold, and quite cold. My clothes don't keep me warm. I was wearing a long sleeve shirt. Maybe next time I should wear a jacket.
As if knowing what I was feeling, Radit put his jacket on me.
"Cold. You catch a cold" he said.
I just smiled in response. We found a place to sit while enjoying the night.
The sky was orange now and the sun was slowly descending.
"Tha..," called Radit while still staring at the scene before us.
"Hm."
"We are not istiqlal and the cathedral is destined to stand face to face with differences, but still harmonious. If they have lives, who knows if they are in love, just like us" Radit said, turning to me.
Oh God, my heart aches to hear it. A sentence that shows us our present state.
"Please ask your Lord if I, who is not his people, may love his servant" he said.
My eyes are glassy. Radit smiled bitterly.
"Reg .... "
"You don't have to worry about our relationship going forward, Tha. If we are fools.. We will definitely unite. I don't know when and what you need to know. I will love you now and forever. "
"Why, Dit? Why should I?"
"So, Tha. I have no reason why you should. All I know is, I've been in love with you since we first met. You're different. I'm always happy to be on your side, Tha. After all, love doesn't need a reason, Tha. For if that reason is lost, then love will also be lost. "
I leaned my head on Radit's shoulder while looking at the sunset in front of us.
Feels comfortable. And want to continue like this.

Love is not about how long you've known someone, but about someone who has made you smile since you've known them.
