Actually I don't have to bother taking care of what because Vita deketin me. Because our relationship is over and I also recently found out Vita turned out like that. In front of me, she's acting cute and spoiled, until I'm sure whoever's looking won't think Vita has a double personality.
But Hani's story this afternoon kept me thinking until now.
"Please, give me some time to explain to you. I'm also confused."
I threw out a face, lazily listening to word for word coming out of Hani's mouth, until a few seconds made me flinch.
"He wants revenge on you, your family." Hani started telling stories. "Lo tau ngga, Vita's mother, Shaqueena Verche, a former model who had almost committed suicide because of bokap lo."
Wh-what..
"Hugely. Nyokap Vita was stressed because she seduced bokap lo and made a story as if she was dating bokap lo. Trus bokap lo nengang loud in the media, until the nyokap Vita was bullied all-out on social media and finally he killed himself, but failed."
Is there such a story? I've never heard from anyone. Even on the internet there is none.
"Lo might think I'm boong. But it's real. The news was revealed because the agency nyokap Vita who intervened to remove the digital footprint. But if you're thorough, there's still, on the internet."
Then he continued. ".. just as you know. Vita is a child who is pregnant out of wedlock. She was raped and Vita was born. Depressed and went to a mental hospital. While Vita was nurtured by her grandmother. Fortunately, he recovered and married a big businessman. Therefore, when you first know Arga Alexander's son, Vita felt upset every time he squirms for deketin lo and will make you fall in love with him. After that he'll leave you and make you exactly what he said rasain first."
Uh. Hani's story makes me unable to speak anymore. I also don't know for sure, if this is true, you should know.
"But the rich Vita is caught in his own trap. You know, Vita's crying in the toilet and we just found out that she's done. That means, he's the one who fell in love with you, so he got Ariva out of jealousy."
Is that really so? But if Vita has a plan, why is she that close to mom and dad?
"I'm sorry, honey. I didn't know you were humiliated in the cafeteria. I was taking care of futsal. I feel so guilty.."
Juna's voice broke my daydream. I peeked into Ari's classroom window. I saw Juna squatting downstairs, apologizing to Ari. How many minutes am I standing here, waiting for that guy to leave so I can take Ari.
"I'll give Vita and the others a lesson."
"No need, brother." Answer Ari.
How long do I want to wait? Uh. Impatiently. I decided to go to Ari's class and take her away.
"OKAY. Then we go home, yeah."
Just as they were about to move, I came.
"Come, go home."
Ari's eyes are wide-spun. I know he was shocked and said in his heart, 'what the fuck!'
"Come on." My hand was stretched out, asking him to come with me. It's an order, not an offer. You know, Ri, how I am.
"Hey. You see if I'm here?"
I took a breath, then looked back at Ari without caring about Juna. "Go home with me."
"Ariva comes home with me!" Tukas Juna was furious.
I lowered the hand that Ari did not welcome. The girl looked down and looked confused.
"Whatever, you want to go home with me or him." Tukanku again.
I was still waiting, until Ari raised his head and looked at Juna timidly.
"Sister. I'm..."
"You want to go home with him? Choose her?" Show Juna to me.
Hey, man! I told you, Ari needs it on me.
I immediately pulled Ari's hand out of the classroom. Do not need to be explained, let the jerk Juna realize who you prioritize now.
I left class smiling with satisfaction. Satisfied that Ari chose me over Juna.
On arrival at home, I saw a black car parked in the yard.
I got out of the car while continuing to pay attention to someone whose face was very familiar. The middle-aged man Ari had longed for.
The man hugged Ari, his countenance happy. Maybe because Ari finally wants to forgive him. That's what I heard from my mom. But what does this coming mean? Don't tell me he's taking Ari. Naw. Can't!
"Arsya, it's Tama." Mama introduced Papa Ari to me. I remember not even being introduced.
I looked at Ari, asking for an explanation. But he just kept quiet.
"We stay first, yeah." Mama pushed me and papa into the house, leaving Ari and her papa to chat on the front porch.
"Yes, what's there? Come on, come in."
I was eavesdropping, but my mom pulled me over and sat in the kitchen.
"Eat, huh? Ma'am is ready."
"Udah, ma." I answered with eyes that kept staring at the window. Seeing Tama and Ari talking to each other.
"Ma."
"Yes?"
"Ari's not going, is it.."
Mama who had poured water stopped, staring confusedly at me.
Shitt's! Ari's...
...🍭...
Says sister Tari, Ari is on the front balcony. There's not either. If it is, Ari must be on the balcony behind, on the tile. I also headed there and did see Ari sitting daydreaming looking at the sky.
"Lo here it turns out."
Ari turned her head, her face turned flat. "Why?"
"When are you back?" I asked with a slightly raised tone. Not that I'm angry, but I really want to know everything.
"Next week maybe."
"Trus, are you coming?"
"Belom knows." Answer with laziness.
Ah, goddamn. Why Ari's reply upset me. Not to answer if he'll stay here. But in fact, like considering the circumstances.
"Lo promise, don't you want to continue school here."
Ari bent her knees and hugged her. That sad look is now on me. "Important, yes. Not that now you've been busy, until I just forgot when we last chatted casually like before."
"Lo has to keep your promise, Ri!" Tukasku. No matter what, he has to keep his promise.
He kept looking at me for a long time, looking for something he might not have answered, until he finally asked me something I couldn't answer.
"Why?" Ask Ari later. "Why should I keep my promise to Elo? What's in it for me?"
I'm. like I was stabbed. What the request was made was distressing, and made it all too clear that I was the one who needed it, while he didn't.
Ja. I never thought about that. I was just thinking about how Ari would stay by my side while he didn't know what he was doing near me. Should I be clear, Ri?
Ari came down from the top of a small jump and stood right in front of me.
"Why do I have to keep on your side while you're no fitting I need. Lo delicious, fun courtship with Vita. You know, if there's no Kai, Karin, and Hajoon, what would I be like at school?" His tone rose, Ari began to get angry.
"So I was thinking, what am I doing here? School is full of rumors about me. I'm ashamed, I'm slandered, bullied. And lo...!" Ari's words sounded disappointed, sad, and angry at me. I felt small that second, too.
"...lo where? You know, that lo girl has been telling me what all this time to me?"
I'm behind you, Ri. I'm behind you to protect you. I'm not looking at the front, but I'm trying to destroy the bad guys!
Rain drops, and Ari's tears pool.
"Gue thought, if I pretend you don't know you at school, I'll be safe. But it turns out not. Precisely I'm getting bullied just because of the fucking girl lo it's not like mee!!?"
I feel Ari is taking out everything that has been in his heart. What he said made me unable to reply. Because I know too late...
It was raining, heavy, though I could still see Ari's tears coming out.
"Lo tau, all this time I've been put under arrest, humiliated, humiliated. I assume everyone misunderstood. But look at yourself! You're good at going out while I'm..." Ari sobbing. His eyes pierced me.
". .While I'm tormented just because your girl is jealous?"
I'm sorry, Ri. I seem to be useless. But one thing I must emphasize to Elo...
"Ri, she's not my girl."
Please, believe me. I'll try to fix everything.
Let's talk and clear everything up, Ri.
"Gue's tired, Shay." I held Ari's arm. Please, don't go.
It might sound strange when all the disappointments he described didn't make me flinch except for that one thing. Something Ari should know.
"Gue doesn't have a special relationship with Vita, Ri." I obviously, I don't want Ari to misunderstand and think that I like Vita.
"No one said?? What the hell all this time, huh? Date, hug, kiss-"
"Gue never kisses!!" I cut his words quickly. No, I never did what was your shadow all along.
"Whatever. I don't care if you want to do it with Vita, who you need to know I hate. Hate that lo girl!"
I pulled Ari's shoulders until our bodies approached each other, I looked grievingly at everything I had done.
"Gue you know, I'm not dating Vita at all. She's not the girl I like, Ri. You should know that!"
Not him, Ri. But elo. I like it and even I don't know how hard it is if I don't see it even a day. I don't think it's just ordinary likes. I. love the same lo!
I looked at that cold pale face. Ari, the look in her eyes was different as well.
What should I say now that I love him so much. There's something in my heart that I want Ari to know. But if I'm honest, can Ari accept me? I just can't get far from Ari. This confession might make Ari uncomfortable later.
But I want my feelings conveyed. I wanted Ari to know there was a great beautiful turmoil when I got close to him.
"Rl"
"Gue hates you, Shay."
I just felt a chill run down to the bone. My body froze after hearing that sentence.
"Gue. hate you." Press Ari again.
My hand is no longer able to hold Ari who left me just like that.
Highlighting different eyes, I have never seen before, turns out to hold a sense of hate in them.
