Lies
Let's Break Up

“Have it, don't stay here too long. It's getting dark. We have to hurry home,” he said to Raya. He took the girl away from the spooky streets while hoping Raya would not experience anything dangerous while going through the road.

“If I'm rich, I want to fix that road. Not just the streets. I also want to clean the river and turn this village into a decent village to live in,” chatter Raya while walking with Karan.

The young man smiled. The kingdom is free to dream but the dream is very difficult to realize just like that. Money is not enough to turn a poor village with a poorly educated population like them. There has to be more effort than just giving money away. “Then you must run for regional leader. Like being governor. I think you deserve to be the leader,” concluded Karan. It is not excessive considering the magnitude of the sense of concern for the surrounding community. A sense of caring that is now rarely owned by the leaders of the country.

“No, I am not suitable to be governor,” reject Kingdom quickly.

Karan's forehead suddenly frowned. “Then, what do you fit into?”

“Model possible? I'm so pretty ‘kan? My height is not bad either. If I can keep my body shape, maybe I can be a famous model,” said the girl with confidence.

A smile reappeared on Karan's face. Listening to all the wishes and ideals of Raya has always been a very pleasant thing for Karan. I don't know why it feels like his hopes and ideals too. “Yes, you are so beautiful. But Raya, she said you wanted to be a doctor earlier. Why now suddenly want to be a model?”

Raya's face turned frantic. He seemed nervous when he was caught lying. She never wanted to be a doctor. It was just an original remark for Karan to keep him on the IPA major. Because Raya has no one but Karan. Following the young man's footsteps, however difficult for him, would still Kingdom do. “Ya his name is also an ideal. Said we could hang our dreams sky-high? Do you dream now you have to pay?”

Karan shook his head. “No, no. Dreaming it doesn't have to pay, Raya. Keep dreaming and I will try to make it happen for you.”

“Why do you want to make my dream come true? Hey, try having a dream of your own. Don't steal other people's dreams!” grumble the girl.

Laughter began to be heard from Karan. He was no longer able to hold it. Raya's speech did sound funny to Karan, but far from it, the girl's irritated face looked so adorable. Karan has no power not to touch her. The young man patted Raya's head slowly. “Yes yes, I will not steal your dreams. Dream a lot and tell me. I'll remember them one by one.”

And of course make it happen too. Honestly, Karan had no dreams. His desire to do something in the future was also non-existent. It was only when Raya entered into her life and began to convey all her wishes in the future that Karan began to have hope. And the young man's expectations were quite simple. He just wants to realize all the wishes of his lover.

“So, what do you want. I mean what are your ideals?” Raya asks that question because she has never heard Karan mention his wish before. All this time only Rayalah dominated their conversation if it was about the problem of ideals. Karan never once told what the man would become in the future. Although in the eyes of Raya, whatever work Karan would do would definitely be a success. The young man was a hard worker. It will not fail just like that.

Karan did not immediately answer Raya's question. Not because he has a lot of goals. Quite the contrary. Karan has no desire in his life that makes him have to think about the future. But he could not have said that to Raya. Raya's positive attitude will reject Karan's thinking. After all, Raya really does not like being close to pessimists. Karan has already fallen for the girl and he does not want to get bad judgment from her.

“I haven't thought about it for sure, but I think I want to be a businessman,” Karan replied that was completely unexpected. He had only thought about it a moment ago when Raya mentioned about being rich to improve their village. According to Karan, the only way to earn a lot of money in a good way is to become a successful entrepreneur. Perhaps later on Karan could become the leader of a large company or set up his own company. Then, some of the benefits he got from his company will he set aside to build this village. In the future, no children from the village will suffer the same fate.

“Then, why did you choose the IPA major?”

“There is a limit if an entrepreneur cannot choose IPA?” majors

“Yes does not exist. But that's not fair.”

“Why? Anyway, I'm pretty smart. Want any major is not a problem for me because I can follow the lesson well,” said Karan proud of himself. Of course the man did it to tempt Raya. Because the girl's face changes very quickly every Karan prides himself. It was as if the girl was envious of him and wanted to hit him. Unfortunately Raya never dared to hurt Karan. More precisely not wanting to make Karan hurt. “Wait for Raya. Before you get home, let's go there for a minute.”

Karan pointed to a small concrete bridge that was not far from Raya's house. Only fifty meters away. Before Karan returns Raya, it's good that he does something more important first, which is to treat the wound on Raya's hand. Indeed Raya could treat it herself, but Karan was unwilling to take the risk. He had to make sure his lover's wounds had been treated well. That way he can breathe freely.

“Come sit here,” Karan said as he pulled Raya's hand to sit beside him. The young man began his treatment. First, he rolled up Raya's sleeves. Second, he took out the ointment they had bought from the stall. Then, Karan attentively began smearing the wound with the ointment. “What hurts?” tanyanya. Because it was a dry wound, Karan could do nothing to help relieve the pain that Raya felt. Blowing the wound was useless because instead of relieving it makes the wound more painful.

“Other times you should be careful, Raya. Don't hurt your body for whatever reason. Do you understand?” said Karan advising.

Raya nodded slowly. “Iya, I know. I won't get hurt again,” the promise.

“I will remember this promise of yours constantly. If you get hurt again, I'll punish you.”

Instead of being afraid, Raya laughed out loud. It was like challenging Karan. “You're like our principal. The father ‘kan very like to threaten to punish us if we make a mistake. Forgetting to bring a tie alone has been threatened will be punished not enter the class. Absolutely heartless,” complained Kingdom.

“That's because you didn't comply. He just told us to wear a tie. It's an easy matter if you follow him. But almost every day you forget to bring your tie.” Karan had to carry a spare tie every day for the sake of Raya. If they did not leave for school together, Karan would wait in front of the school gate even barely late to enter just for the sake of giving his spare tie to the girl. Karan did not want to see Raya constantly punished marching on the field every morning until the first lesson hour was over. Indeed the weather is not too hot, but if it continues to miss the first hour of lessons, the girl will not be smart quickly.

“Iya, yes. It was my fault,” said the girl admitted her mistake. “But if I get hurt again what will you do to punish me?”

“I will marry you,” Karan chirps lightly as if the wedding was an easy thing.

That sentence had never been thought of by Raya at all. She did not expect Karan to really want to marry her like that. “We are still small, Karan. Illegal to get married early.”

Raya has always cared about this issue even though the girl often breaks school rules. At least when it comes to his future, Raya will be logical minded. “Who said I would marry you now? I mean later, once we're grown up. I don't have much money right now either. I can't ask you to stay under the bridge, can I?”

“Of course. I don't want to live under a bridge even with you. We are poor now, but in the future life will have to change. Isn't that the purpose of our school? So that we are smart and can have a chance to change fate.” Poverty is the most hated thing. Not only himself, everyone on this earth will not like to live mediocre like him. Although money does not guarantee happiness, but at least having money can solve one problem, namely hunger.

Raya has often felt it. In fact he could only eat once a day when the money he collected did not quite fill his life. That's what makes his body so thin. Raya is not on a diet to realize her dreams as a model in the future, but the girl can not eat regularly because of the limitations of her family's economy. To get a kilogram of rice is very difficult. That's what kept Raya working in the restaurant of her Junior High teacher. Because there, Raya is free to eat anything even though only the remnants of restaurant food that does not sell. At least Raya could have eaten that day, or if she was lucky she could have brought the food home.

In addition to the restaurant owner who was so kind, Raya also thanked her neighbors. They are actually experiencing the same thing with Raya, equally lacking. But they did not hesitate to help Raya. Some of them often gave food to Raya when the girl really had no food stock at home. Bakhan invited Raya to eat with them.

With the kindness of those people, how could Raya not repay him? That is the basic thing that makes Raya want to change this village. He does hate poverty and negative stamp as a village with a high criminal rate. But Raya did not hate the whole population. Because for the Kingdom, some of them are also very good. It's just that they were unlucky because they were born in a poor family just as Raya feels now.

“Ya, just wait for Raya. When I am rich, I will definitely come to you and marry you,” Karan said.

Again the young man made a very difficult promise. “Why are you so eager to marry me?”

“What else is it? You mentioned the reason earlier. You are so beautiful and will be a model in the future. That's a very good reason to marry you.”

The powerless spirit hid the smile from his lips. “You're really very good at seducing. I guess in the future you'll have a lot of girlfriends.”

“Cannot be. Unless you betray me, I won't have a boyfriend anymore. Just taking care of you has made me dizzy how could I possibly take care of another girl? I can't imagine how I should teach them math the way I used you. You know, it's very tiring,” Karan chirps. The young man was intent on joking as usual. He just wanted to tease his lover a little like he had been doing all this time. Without any negative tendencies at all. But what happened after this surprised Karan. Especially when he heard the girl saying a sentence he would never want to hear.

“Then, let's break up,” says Raya suddenly. He did not take his eyes off Karan for a second, as if he was showing the seriousness of his words.

Karan who had been busy dealing with Raya's injuries until he could not move at all. The two brown neutrals were wide. The young man looked at the lover with a look of disbelief. “What did you say just now?” Karan even nearly choked despite not eating or drinking anything. He just had trouble breathing because his throat was stuck
