Happy Reading

Helsha sighed as she saw the message she sent to Varka not being reciprocated. Varka has avoided Helsha for several days, not even the man came to pick her up or take her home. Varka does tell Helsha that she could not meet for a few days because she was busy with her duties, but Helsha knows Varka shies away from her because she went with Gibran at the time.

It sounds selfish indeed, but it was natural for Varka. During this time Varka had no one by her side, that's why Varka was a little afraid if the person who was now by her side left.

"Yaelah Sha from the morning lemes very.why the hell" admonished Nadia when Guru was out.

"You ah..." Helsha said scowlingly immersing her face

"Why the hell? Same with Varka?" Ask Nadia

"Thanks..." Helsha

It was true that they did not fight only Varka who avoided him

"Because? What day did I forget he came here... Pas Lo went with the chairman of OSIS was loh" said Nadia while tidying up her books

"Or..." Helsha's speech is lazy

He again felt annoyed because remembering the incident, it turns out he was stupid.

"Huh..want to go home?" Tegur Nadia who saw Helsha instead buried her face on the table

"Ihh. yaudah I first yes." said Nadia and left

Helsha sighed, lazy to just clean up her books and go home, her brother also could not pick up so Helsha had to take the bus. Usually Varka would drive him but the message alone was not answered by the man.

"Let's go home..." Say someone

Helsha was silent when she heard the voice she knew so well, she was not hallucinating right now. Helsha quickly raised her head to look at the man who was currently standing before her with such a sweet smile.

"Varkora...." Call Helsha in a voice of anxiety

Varka chuckles at Helsha's sulking face, Varka knows she's wrong for dodging this girl a few days ago.

"Let's go home... What's here again? Alone again"

Helsha just kept silent as she continued to stare at Varka with facial expressions mixed between sad and happy.

"I know I'm good-looking Sha" said Varka then tidied up Helsha's books strewn across her desk

"Vark..."

"Hmm." said Varka who was busy putting books in her bag

"Varka where are you? Helsha kangin...."

"And I've told you more tasks"

"Usually also still to meet Helsha if there are many tasks"

Helsha looked at Varka with a frown

"Well, let's go home" said Varka after finishing tidying up Helsha's books

"That's... Varka if you want to be angry, just angry but do not avoid from Helsha"

"I'm not angry Sha, really more tasks. Anyway yes, I want you to go with whoever it is I will not be angry because I know your life is not always about me Sha"

"I'm sorry, because yesterday helsha left don't say it first" said Helsha lowered her head

"Udah gapapa, Varka is not angry. When the hell Varka can be angry with Helsha, Helsha people are funny like gini" said Varka while pinching Helsha's cheek

"That's... Sick" whine Helsha

Varka chuckled then gently ruffled Helsha's hair.

"Come..."

Helsha immediately stood up and bent Varka's arm, the school was also deserted so it's okay right? Moreover, the closeness of himself and Varka is almost known by students at school, understandably because everywhere is always both like stamps.

The two walked together out of the classroom towards the school parking lot, Helsha was unceasingly smiling happily because Varka finally wanted to see him.

"You want to go for a walk?" Ask Varka

"Where are you going?" Helsha vibrancy

"Eumm.. to the beach?"

"Uhhh... Varka loves the beach..."

"It's a historic place"

"Cochastic historic?"

"Yes, because thanks to the beach I get to know you Sha. So how? Wanna not? I think today is a good song"

"MAUUU....!!" Helsha said with passion

"You're going home first? Permission used to be the same Mother" asked Varka while pairing a helmet

"No, Helsha just told you by phone. It must be permission especially if it goes the same Varka"

"Judah call first"

Helsha nodded and immediately called her mother.

___

Today Helsha and Varka sit on the beach. The afternoon sky at this time was really beautiful coupled with the ocean waves that looked so calm. Seeing the beautiful scenery with someone who is very valuable is the happiest thing for Varka.

Varka inhaled the afternoon air while closing her eyes, feeling the breeze of the wind so soothing.

Helsha who saw this smiled happily while continuing to pay attention to Varka who was sitting next to her.

"Don't look" said Varka

"You see" said Helsha

"Yes, because it feels like someone is watching" said Varka Menyeh to Helsha

"Hehe. because Helsha really likes to squirm the face of Varka" said Helsha who now looks at the sky

"Why?"

"Don't know, maybe because Varka's face is funny?"

Varka raised next to her eyebrows when she heard Helsha sayings

Helsha turned to look at Varka and nodded her head like a child

"Yes, rich panda, you know?? Funny bangettttt..." Helsha said as she chuckled

Varka smiled, why? every time he was with this woman it felt like all the burden of trouble, sadness, wounds, and tears just disappeared. So foolish was he why yesterday he avoided Helsha when clearly Helsha was the source of happiness and strength for him.

Helsha means more to Varka than anything in the world. But actually Varka was very afraid.

Afraid that one day this woman will leave her. I don't know, even Varka can't imagine how devastated he would be if Helsha really left him alone.

Varka looked at Helsha so deeply with a smile on her face. His outstretched hand tidied the strands of hair that covered part of Helsha's face due to the wind.

"When I had ingetin earlier so that I wear hair, so that his hair does not hit the eyes like gini" said Varka

"Hehehe... Forgot"

"Forgot continues...." Varka's words were avenged by Helsha

"Helsha..." Call Varka

"Hmm..?"

"If Varka says Varka loves Helsha gapapa?"

"Who? Yes gapapa. Why do I have permission"

"Fear you don't know anything" whispered Varka

"Father Varka, you can" said Helsha smiling

Actually Helsha was not stupid to mean what Varka just said and meant. The affection that Varka feels for Helsha is not just an affection for friends, but more than that.

"Sha..."

"Yes.."

"You no?"

"That Varka's people haven't told you"

Varka chuckled at Helsha's speech which was like a tease

"Dengerin ate it..."

"What's emang?" Ask Helsha

"From the beginning I always believed that the feeling of love is just a boast, there is no such thing as love especially in a family... There will never be, for to me love is but a moment"

"From the time I didn't believe even with love, for me love is useless, nonsense and love is not eternal. When other people believe in love, I choose not to believe because I never get love from anyone" continued Varka

Helsha nodded her head as she looked at Varka, she knew what reason made Varka think that way

"But you know what? Now there's one thing that makes me start believing in love, you know what?"

"Well, what's Emang?" Ask Helsha

"You Sha. Thanks to you, I came to believe that love exists, I believe that love is real, because you are Sha" Varka said

"Why me?" Helsha asked raised next to her eyebrows

"Sha, ever since I met you, I started to know what love feels like, I started to know love, I started to know what a hug and warmth feels like, I'm beginning to know that love is true and I believe in love"

"Sha, even if one day I go away you don't feel sad? Because I believe that the love that I share with you not only lasts as long as we live, but more than that" Varka continued

Helsha suddenly fell silent and directly hit Varka's arm softly making Varka a little in pain.

"Varka what the hell!! Gone-pegian.!!" by the way..!!" Helsha's face immediately pouted

"But that's really Sha, we can't use the word Forever for something that's still going on. Loving someone forever is impossible Sha, but losing someone forever is possible."

"I don't know until when I can survive, I can leave tomorrow or today. But I want to say thank you to everyone, I'm so grateful to meet and know you Sha"

"Vark...!!" Jerky Helsha

"really right? We don't know when we're going"

"Helsha doesn't like it Varka said go out kayak gini.!!"

"That's like Sha"

"Yes, but!!" Helsha was upset

"Yes yes, sorry Varka? Varka's gonna try to go nowhere as long as Helsha doesn't go?"

"Promise not to go?"

"Yes the Promise of Sha"

Varka smiled and in his heart he prayed.

I hope...May the Universe grant this wish.

The desire to stay by Helsha's side and live with this woman he loved dearly..

Hopefully, Varka can arrive at that time before God calls Varka back to his side.

"Vark..."

"Yes?"

"You got a hug?" Ask Helsha

"Why you? I'm not sad anymore"

"I don't know, it feels like Helsha wants to hug Varka..."

Varka smiled and spread out both hands.

"Here..."

Helsha immediately hugged Varka so tightly. I don't know if Helsha was worried that Varka had talked about leaving like that.

"Helsha loves Varka... Bangett"

"Varka also loves Helsha" said Varka while stroking Helsha's black hair

May the universe truly grant the request of two human children who love each other so much.
