couple's drama

Happy Reading

When Helsha left the classroom she found Gibran in front of her class, the man smiled at her. Honestly Helsha is still so worried about Varka, especially Varka has not given him any news or reply to his messages.

"Sha.." said Gibran to Helsha

"Anyone with me? Varka is not school, than you go home alone mending me anterin aja huh? Wanna?" Ask Gibran

"Sir, I'm worried about Varka, are we looking together with yuk? Let's go find Varka. He must not have eaten from Semalem, he must have been cold brother. Let's go find Varka?" Take Helsha to Gibran

"Sha, I think Varka must be fine. Now let me anterin you go home first, just calm down"

"Search for Varka, huh? Would you like to, brother?"

"To Varka's nyari I can't Sha, today I have group work so can't find him"

"why do you want my anterin?"

"You all go to Sha's house, rather than go home alone. I also tried calling Varka just wasn't picked up by him"

Helsha was silent for a while

"Sha come on I'm anterin"

"No, Helsha can go home alone."

"Sha..."

"If there's any news about Varka, tell Helsha right away. Helsha did not want to make Varka misunderstand because of brother nganterin Helsha, sorry brother"

"You're the same bike as him?"

"Sister, I'm even worried, I'm not calm. So let me go home by myself, yeah, I don't want to get into trouble"

"Well, if that's what you want, be careful when you go home"

"Yes my brother"

Better Helsha to go home alone than to be delivered by Gibran, he did not want Varka to see it and even think strangely. Under these circumstances Helsha had to try as quietly as possible to find Varka.

How's Varka doing now? Where did Varka sleep last night? Surely the guy hasn't eaten anything since yesterday. Helsha was really worried, she was scared. Afraid that Varka would do something weird.

~Varka Adibumi ~

• Helsha: Varka where are you anyway? Helsha wants to dance with you, please tell me you're okay now.

• Helsha: Varka, Helsha is angry because Varka lied to Helsha, but I'm worried about you

• Helsha: please Varka Don't kayak gini. If Varka doesn't bales Helsha is really angry

• vernacular: Varka?? Ihh where the hell is it? Could be bales...

• ilsha: Varka.. Helsha is worried

Helsha sighed when she saw that her message had not been answered by Varka. Where's Varka? How's things going? That was all Helsha had in mind since she learned that Varka had left home.

I don't know what happened until Varka left the house, the bitter reality Moreover that Varka must feel now

"Varka.. Where are you?" Helsha muttered looking out the bus window

\_\_\_\_\_

Gibran stopped his bike on the shore, knowing Varka must be here. However, Varka is his sister and he knows enough of his sister's habit of always going to the beach if there is a problem.

Gibran can see Varka who is now sitting there looking away at the expanse of the ocean that is so calm. He stepped his foot to get closer, there was something Gibran wanted to say.

"Lo tuh yes, it's gone but still bothering people" said Gibran after arriving behind Varka.

Varka was a little surprised when she heard Gibran's voice, how could her brother know if he was here?

"Gue hates Lo Varka" Gibran said

Varka only sighed and did not even move a little from her seat.

"Gue nahusahin? Not back? I should have said that. I hate Lo, I hate being Lo's bitch too"

"Well, don't be my friend anymore."

"If I could have been before, I don't want to be adek Lo"

"Don't show up again, Helsha nyariin Lo Mulu. I don't like it" Gibran said, looking straight ahead

"How come Helsha just wants to be with me? You still want to take it? Sorry yes, but if the matter of Dapetin Helsha you have lost brother."

"I didn't say anything, I just needed some time" Varka continued

Gibran laughed for a moment and then came back to be honest

"Featured indeed Lo, never once there was a word lost in the dictionary of a Gibran, let alone lose the same weak child like Lo. Pantes aja mamah same papah always madrin Lo, Lo very weak Varka"

Varka again just sighed, he no longer had the energy to just stand up and vent anger at his brother. If Varka had enough energy, he would have killed his brother.

Varka smiled wryly, not enough? Not enough to hurt him? Should they go this far to hurt him?

"Lo is so evil, brother. I hate the same Lo, if only I had enough energy You must have been abis. But inget yes brother, Lo will mengesel. There will be a time when you beg me, brother, look at it"

"Hahahaha, it won't..." Gibran

"Don't go back, Lo, I'm sick of seeing Lo" Gibran continued and left

Varka had hoped that one person from her family would come and tell her to go home, but the fact that came instead told her to never come back.

How much more would the universe hurt him?

Varka picked up her mobile phone that had been shaking since

~~Helsha Anastasya~~

• Helsha: Where are you? I cry, you don't care if I cry anymore?

• Helsha's Oath: Helsha's Oath will be very angry with Varka, why should I say kayak gini anyway? Varka bales!

• Helsha: do you want to stay away from Helsha?

• Helsha: answer Varka!! Helsha knows you're reading this. Let's say where are you?

• Helsha: Varka Helsha please don't make Helsha go crazy because of your nyariin...

• Helsha: Helsha worries Varka

"Sorry Varka Sha..." Varka muttered.

Varka was eager to hug the girl, she wanted to cry on Helsha's boat. It hurts too much to be alone like this.

Varka lowered her head, sobbing again for the umpteenth time. He smacked his chest so stifling, he cursed his cruel destiny.

Why should Varka? Wh why?

The sound of the phone ringing back made Varka avert her eyes, her hands outstretched to see who was calling. Varka rounded his eyes when he saw the caller, did he not dream? Mamah called? Did ya? Really?

Varka quickly wiped away her tears and picked up the phone from Clara with a feeling of excitement and curiosity

"Vark..." Clara

"Mama? Is this really Mama calling Varka?" Varka's question is still in disbelief

"Don't forget to take your stuff" Clara said directly

The smile that was almost imprinted on Varka's face instantly disappeared as Clara said that.

"Ma." Varka

"Why? Don't you want to go alone? So, Jaudah go, and bring your things"

"You hate that much, are you Varka? Why don't you like Varka? Varka's wrong what's wrong?" Varka's words held back the cries

"Why were you born"

"But I never asked to be born ma, if mama did not like why did not mama fallin Varka at that time? So this is Varka wrong?"

"You don't have to say much, don't forget to take your stuff. It was taken care of also still do not know himself" said Clara immediately hung up the phone

Varka Silence did not budge, Those words were enough to make Varka's wounds grow back.

Helsha was quietly pensive in her room while staring at the photo of Varka smiling on her phone. Helsha did not release the phone from her grasp at all, she was afraid that Varka would contact her when she accidentally left the phone.

Helsha looked out the window of the room then sighed.

"Vark...." Mumbles Helsha

He had never been this worried before, but why was this time feeling so unsettled. Let's hope what he thinks and worries doesn't happen, the universe please don't hurt Varka continuously.

Ringing the phone managed to make Helsha realized from her daydream, Helsha immediately picked up the phone so quickly.

"Vark... Finally, where are you" said Helsha as soon as picked up Varka's phone

"Helsha..." Varka

"Varka where? Where the hell is it?" Helsha

"Sha, I'm sorry, okay? Sorry for worrying you"

"Udah gapapa, where are you?" Ask Helsha back

"Sha, it hurts a lot" said Varka sobbing

"Varka? Where's varka? Helsha's there now, try to send her location to Helsha. Helsha's taking you there with me, huh?" Helsha said calmly

"Helsha, it turns out that gini feels hated by the people we love the most, Sha it hurts so much... I should what? I have no one else... Everyone wants me to go to the hyks... Helsha... Sha hicksh... Sick" said Varka increasingly sobbing

Helsha's heart ached when she heard Varka's words, especially Varka sobbing there alone.

"Varka is calm? Where's varka? Varka Dengerin Helsha first huh, you're wrong Varka who said everything wants you to go? Not everyone, Helsha is here. Helsha doesn't want Varka to leave"

"Varka has Helsha, has Mommy, has a Dad, who loves Varka. Helsha's there, huh? Helsha was there alone not the same father. But Varka told me first, where is Varka? Please"

"Sha... I want to give it up, right? Very cape" said Varka

Degs...

Helsha immediately stood up when she heard Varka say that, her heart beating faster than usual, bad thoughts immediately popping into her head.

"Vark!! Don't macem please!!"

"Sha, want to be hugged... Helsha is devastated, Sha is very sick, I am alone... I have no one but you.... The Sha... It hurts.."

"Varka Helsha please calm down, huh, Helsha is there? Don't macem-macem please"

Helsha's tears just fell down her cheeks, no Helsha please, universe don't take Varka.

"Vark..." Call Helsha after a long time no sound, all that is heard is the sound of sobbing

"Sha... Why am I blushing? Permission to rest, I cape" said Varka

"Well, Varka can't rest. Helsha never told Varka to take a break, Helsha always told Varka that the cape had to last... Helsha please hold on"

"I'm sorry Sha... This time I gave up, thanks for everything. Permission to go home"

"Vark... Pleases... Wait for me"

There's no Answer

"VARKAA...!!"

Tut's...Tut's...Tut's...

The phone connection was cut off just like that, Helsha immediately sat limp on the floor with tears that kept flowing down her cheeks.

"Vark... Don't come home..." Helsha muttered with her sobbing

Why Helsha never told Varka to rest because for someone who is mentally already so hurt the word rest has a different meaning. If we tell them to rest when they are tired it is tantamount to telling them to give up, because for people like them the word rest is the same as DEAD. So never tell them to take a break if they are tired. We better tell them to stick around, 'cause everyone has a different mentality.

Going home?

Is that what was done in the end?

Is that the only choice?

Can't the universe help him just this once?
