Anna—'s world is the name of the book he is reading now, a book that was recommended by friends at his school first, a book by Jostein Gaarder which he said focuses on the theme of the environment on earth, especially the climate environment and the impact of global warming.the book gives the author a related picture in the year 2082. really very extraordinary right?


Mayla to buy online because the book is rarely sold in the market, she did not bear to buy two books at once, namely Anna's World and Sophie's World. he had wanted to buy a book that had been stuck in his shopping cart, but stopped considering he had promised if he would read the novel that had been recommended by his friend.


piece by piece, little by little, he began to dive into the contents of his reading.


"interesting but this book is quite confusing" he said who did not release attention from the book he was reading. Mayla again opened her new page, her forehead frowning trying to interpret the implied intent of the author conveyed.


He still has a lot of time, considering he should not have class hours, but because of a message from the group chat, which tells if today Pak Abian intends to change the lecture schedule. all of you shared the value of yesterday's quiz which he said almost all students were scrambling to rank below average.except Raksa. even his chat group is now talking about Mr. Abian who he said just arrived from Brunei. sometimes Mayla thought what her lecturer was doing besides teaching at Senopati, and how rich she was until almost every week she always heard that her lecturer always went abroad.


"what is the fate of the child and his family?" muttered Mayla.notah why he became reminded of his father.any busy, his father always took time for his family.


"i'm sorry, Mayla doesn't hate me just that Mayla still can't accept.all of this is very sudden" he said.


Ting—a notification appeared on his phone.


"oh gosh this is not a value" said Mayla while turning the focus on her phone, there is a chart of the value of her class students.Mayla guessed, Raksa definitely occupies the first grade with a perfect score. while the rest are just scrambling at the lowest number, including himself.


"at least your value is still reasonable" a voice airs from behind making him spontaneously turn his head.


"reasonable?" Mayla.


"my value is six Sa, you say natural?" mayla asked in shock, hey it's six and that means below average.where is the fair location?


"at least not like the others" he said, pulling a seat in front of Mayla.


"i envy your brain" Mayla said shortly after Raksa took a seat in front of her.


"not to be envious, because the capacity of the person is different may" he replied as he issued a book and earphones.


"you're right, I just need to study again and improve my grades" Mayla replied, Raksa nodding while putting on the earphones and starting to open her book.


Mayla was silent to Raksa. Raksa is not a nerdy man or a cupu man who wears a layered subdistrict, not also a male Anime or gamer. every appearance to the campus sebada plain t-shirt with plain shirt or denim jacket.Hair is never neat because of the influence of the helmet, he did not wear any accessories even though it was a clock. Mayla has never seen Raksa wear it. Her life has never been as difficult as most men in her class.only she often read biographies of famous figures one of them B. J Habibie, the book he is currently reading.


"don't look at me like that" said raksa who seemed disturbed, but he did not release attention from the book he was reading.


"Eh"


".... "


"what are you listening to?" ask Mayla.


"let it be, you want to hear?" answer Raksa looked up to release attention from the book.


"want" answered Mayla. Raksa closed the book, he moved up and moved beside Mayla while releasing his earphone.


"on this side, my earphone cord is short because" he said pairing the earphone to Mayla's ear while pulling her chair.


There was no conversation after that, both of them drifting in their respective reading books.


"oh yes sa, the day after he said there was a meeting?" mayla asked shortly after she opened the notification from her office group. Raksa shakes


"i don't know", Ah yes Mayla forgot besides Raksa it's not neko-neko, he also does not care about something. like now when the phone in front of him, even though the phone in front of him, but the Arganta man is notah males or what is reluctant to open a chat notification on his phone.


"he said we are told to go to the office tomorrow, whatever it is because it wants to discuss which event has started to deket" replied Mayla while scrolling the contents of her chat group. Raksa nodded still did not release attention from his book. Sighing Mayla turned her head until her gaze accidentally fell on the clock of the library wall.


"we are late" he said, while taking the book.he did not realize if the Raksa earphone is still attached to his ear he moved, before the Raksa hand pulled it. Because Mayla was not ready to turn and fall on the lap of Raksa made the Arganta man groan stifled because of the pain of the oppressed mixed with shock,


"forgive me, so surprised I forgot to take off the earphones" said Mayla who still seems not aware of her position. he had no idea that Mayla would fall and oppress him, because he only meant to tell Mayla if her earphones were still used. noah Mayla who ate less so light or Raksa who was too strong pulled it earlier, until it ended this way.


"May you're heavy" he said, looking up at Mayla, who is now sitting on her lap. Mayla knits her forehead with a face full of questions,


"wake up May, I want to go to class" he continued, pulling the earphones in Mayla's ears and pulling the consciousness of women in her lap.


"OH MY GOD, SORRY"


fortunately, the library staff were not inside, so they were still safe, but apparently not because they had forgotten the attention of all the students who were now staring at the two.


"my shame" said Mayla while putting her head to the table, while Raksa just shook her head while putting her book and earphones into the bag.


"come to class"


...•••...


Mayla walked alone, accompanied only by lighting on the right left of the road.When her friends forced her to deliver, Mayla refused to reason that she would go somewhere first. He just doesn't want to trouble others. Until just when he got to the front of his boarding house he found a familiar car in his memory.


"dad" he muttered.Just as a middle-aged man got out of the car, with a friendly smile that could not be separated from his face, the father knitted his steps towards Mayla.


"May, you just got home?" ask the father right in front of his son. Mayla was silent her tongue was muddled, her hands forced her not to hug squatting at the embrace she missed her father.


"what's the matter dad?" mayla asked to smile at her father.


"dad only misses you" replied the father, stroking his son's head slowly. Mayla smiled as much as she could not sulk or show the pampered soul to her father.


"Mayla also misses dad" Mayla replied, without answering her he immediately hugged her.


"father" a voice airs from behind the two. Mayla turned her head, finding a teenage boy who was standing not far from her.


oh my God, let alone this


Here they are now, sitting three at a seafood restaurant not far from Mayla boarding house.


"May why be quiet, the food will be cold" said the father, Mayla mengjap for a long time he did not come to a seafood restaurant like this because it was expensive for him.


"father I want the kale light we add again yes" said the teenage boy beside his father. pulled attention from the amount of food in front of him. Because they look familiar.


'hey ! what you call that father is my father'


"may besides the food on the table there is something you want to add as well let all of you" said the father. Mayla shakes.


"this is enough dad"


"oh yes may I forget to introduce you, May this Earth Satria Country her nickname Satria she will be your half-sister, she will be your stepbrother, and this knight Mayla Nirwana Azzara is the son of the father who often told me that will later be your half-sister satria" said the father introduced the two.


'i suspected'


"hm, yeah"


"yeah now we eat come, kangkung ye have come the knight. May let's eat don't stay still" said the father mediated the stiffness of the two.


For a long time Mayla did not eat with her father, the nature and attitude of the father did not change only now all that has been divided. Honestly Mayla is a little not like seeing her father's attention is divided, but she can what. Getting angry? obviously not he would only complicate himself if he followed his passions.


"May how was your college? dad's pocket money is still there?" ask the father in between chewing it.


"there is nothing special, there are still many fathers" Mayla replied as she pulled her drinking glass.


"if you need anything you can contact your father or mamah you may" after the father, Mayla nodded, why the taste of the food she ate now feels a little bland.


"may you can refuse if you don't want to come to the wedding father later" said the father then.indirectly stop Mayla chewing.


"i'll come, if I'm not busy" the father nodded in understanding.


" my father is done" said the satria.sekalagus closed the second conversation because the food was finished while the food in front of Mayla was still left the father asked that the food be wrapped, and the food was packed, in addition, his father also bought some side dishes that Mayla believes if it will not run out in a week.


'mom and dad are the same, they think I can eat all this alone?'


on the way they were silent, especially Mayla and Satria as if there was a barrier wall called awkwardness. Satria who focuses on her phone as well as Mayla who feels at home looking out the window, paying attention to the shophouses along the cost.


"may you can come to see me anytime, don't hesitate father is still your father.There's nothing dad here, we're here May even though we're separated" order the father while gently stroking Mayla's hair. Mayla nodded. unable to say anything.Mayla may have been spoiled, sulked and hugged him and never let go, but now she is used to making friends with solitude, but now she is used to being alone, breathing with the void fortifies oneself with the word alright.


after the death of Mayla's father knitting his steps into the boarding house.just he was about to sit in his study chair.the sound of a loud horn honking sound can make anyone wake up and pull a step upset because it bothers. himself included.


"who the hell" he said as he opened the boarding door, the reason was the sound of the horn was sourced from the front of Mayla boarding house. it turned out that not only Mayla but all boarding residents.


Not far from there a man was still sitting on his motorbike, occasionally turning on the horn until his lips smiled when the man saw Mayla come out.


"Haaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiii" he shouted, waving at Mayla.


"oh God, I think my problem is over" he murmured.do not take his eyes off the men puckered with earrings and torn pants less material—Arsaka.


"what's up" Mayla said just as she got in front of Arsaka.


"for, want to come with me we trace the length of the night" asked Arsaka suddenly. makes Mayla have to digest twice the purpose of the youngest self in front of him. Mayla cringed while saying


"meaning?"


"ck. I'm taking you away what's less obvious"


"now?"


"last year may" replied Arsaka half annoyed.


"so do you want it or not? ah.. clearly not but this time I force and do not be rejected" said Arsaka while wearing a helmet on Mayla.


"get up, calm down even though I'm naughty and unclear, but I'm not a cheap guy who likes to harass women" she said, Mayla still weighing because it's the first time Mayla went with a new person, but on the other hand he needed an outlet from his sadness earlier.


"May believe me, I will take you in good health no less than one" Arsaka assures Mayla. Mayla nodded on Arsaka's bike.


'God hope I'm okay'


The two now start down the length of the night, Mayla does not know where Arsaka will take him, without him knowing Arsaka himself also does not know where to take Mayla away. he only followed a path that might be endless even though the motor gasoline ran out though.


"where are we going?" mayla shouted from behind her back.


"don't know" replied Arsaka, in the middle of driving his bike. make Mayla knit his forehead, do not understand.


"yes later" after Arsaka again while slowing down the speed of the motor. Mayla saturates feeling the gust of the night wind that hit her face, her tears unexpectedly dripping for what reason.she recalled how the father she had always avoided, maybe it could have been the cause of her tears falling now, or because the night wind was too evil? the last time Mayla met her father was when Mayla came home from college.


Arsaka's bike stopped, asking Mayla.


"why stop?" mayla asked suspiciously. Arsaka was silent, watching the streets.


"we're on May's highway"


"HUH?"


"Gosh, budek for a long time" said Arsaka closed his ears while turning towards Mayla.


"can I, how do we go home?" mayla asked in shock. Arsaka chuckles.


"yes go home, stay home. I also did not realize that this is a highway overpass" replied Arsaka. he did not completely lie because the atmosphere at night he was not so clear to see the road, he was not so clear to see the road, he just followed where the bike was taking him until he frowned when he could not find the motor around him, and a few meters from there although it was not so clear his view could see the toll gate.


"see" after Arsaka while pointing to the number of buildings that look small from a distance.


"beautiful" said Mayla, Arsaka nodded.The two now stand leaning on the bike.


"maybe if you intend to kill yourself here is the right place" he said, looking left-right. Mayla nodded her assent, here crowded and the vehicle but Mayla believed that if anything happened her voice would not be heard even though screaming though.


"you're the one" Maya said witfully, no matter how hard her life was and no matter how bad Mayla promised not to waste her life, by suicide.


"sadly dying is not as easy as I thought" replied Arsaka, withdrawing Mayla's attention. Arsaka sighed as if trying to bring out various problems that he deliberately keyed in himself.


The night wind blows the hair of both of them while cooling the chaos of the inner event that neither of them ever sounds. Because both of them are both harboring their respective problems, both keep secrets that they lock very tightly.


"why did you meet me?" mayla turned to Arsaka.


"just want to" he replied, not taking off the attention from his sight.


It is because after a great quarrel with his father earlier, Arsaka decided to leave but he was confused where to go. until the pace of the iron horse delivered him to the boarding Mayla.


Mayla stared forward hoping God would still give her a wish. Mayla does not understand.
