My First Love (My Memories Revealed)
CHAPTER 98 | Conversations Toward a Quarrel
All his heart and grievances he lauched on Raka, brother and best friend to him, without Mira realizing and understanding that Raka harbored a taste in him, Raka, on someone who has been a little sister for eighteen years. The feeling unfortunately turned into the seed of love, whether since when the feeling was embedded in Raka's heart. And now, her heart aches to hear that Mira likes another man. Continuously silent, Raka listened to Mira, not caring if her heart was hurt.
“Since when are you close?”, ask Raka to Mira at a cafe they subscribe to. Still wearing his school uniform, he goes with Raka for coffee. Raka tries to control herself and closes her feelings tightly, she does not want Mira to know her feelings, is not it sick? Loving in silence, only Raka and her heart know.
“I do not know where it all started, I feel that Arka also has the same feeling as me kak”, said Mira revealed her heart with a smile that adorned her face considering Raka's sweet treatment to her, he continued to smile regardless of Raka who was in front of him at this moment. Raka pinched both of Mira's cheeks to resuscitate her.
“Beware. Maybe Arka did that because he was used to being nice and sweet to every girl. Be careful”, he said pinching both cheeks of Mira who made her cheeks a little sore. Mira released both hands Raka attached to her cheeks and held both cheeks that were slightly sick due to the not-so-hard pinch of Raka.
“Don't be stupid. Are you first in love?”, asked Raka a little annoyed with the height of Mira who is a little excessive for him, although it is not too excessive for a girl who is kasmaran. Mira looked up at the sky with a gaze like looking for an answer to Raka's question that didn't really need an answer.
“Hmm.. Seems not. I have been in love before Kak”, said Mira with her face that looks quite serious. Raka turns her facial expression into curious when she hears that Mira had fallen in love with another man before Arka. But to whom? Was her? Wh who? Raka was so curious that she put her face forward and folded her hands on the table as if waiting for Mira to continue.
“At whom?”, asked Raka curiously.
“It seems to you kak”, Mira replied staring at Raka, this time Mira's gaze seemed very serious. Raka sees no lie in Mira's eyes, Raka looks at Mira as if she does not believe that Mira ever liked him as a man, not a brother or friend, she is silent and fixated. His heart skipped a beat and his eyes were a little smudged.
“Hahahah... Why is your face so serious, brother? I was just kidding. There is no way I like my own brother, tenaglah”, he said immediately when he saw Raka who was staring at the answer. Mira laughed as she took her jokes very seriously. But unlike Raka, it is not as bad as him, Raka really expects Mira's words are not playing. By being forced Raka put a fake smile on Mira so that Mira does not think like that.
"Thank God it was all a joke. Almost every time I had a heart attack I heard you say that you used to like your own brother. I know I'm very handsome, it's only natural that you've had a chance to like me". He said something different from his heart. Raka let out a long sigh and returned smiling looking at Mira who was laughing amusedly hearing her answer.
"Then what about you, brother? Do you have a boyfriend on campus? Or is there a girl who you are approaching?", asked Mira while sipping a milkshake in front of her that is still intact while her eyes keep looking at Raka waiting for her answer. Raka just smiled, she reached out her hand trying to clean the rest of the milkshake that was attached to the tip of her lips.
"What's wrong with me? Why is my heart beating fast enough?", he said, not understanding what happened to him. Slowly Mira holds Raka's hand which is still cleaning and releasing her.
" Let's find a lover. I'm afraid you'll fall in love with me one day, I can't imagine how it would be if you liked me" she said, removing Raka's hand and returning to her milkshake. Raka chuckled at Mira's little babble and looked back at her who was drinking milkshakes with adorable regard.
"Why do I have it, can it happen? I don't think so" She scratched her un-itchy head while looking down.
It seems right people say. Men and women can never be friends, only because they are childhood friends, not because the seeds of love cannot grow in one of their hearts. That is how love works, love can satisfy both people and love can also hurt one of them. But it seems love does not side completely with Raka, her heart aches when she continues to hear the name of Raka spoken from Mira's mouth.
"If the Ark is so special and meaningful to you, take it with you. I want to take a look, let me judge the man you think is so sweet. Before reaching your father, he had to pass me first" said Raka who pretended to be an older brother who did not want to see his sister crying in the future just because his stupidity wrongly made a choice. Mira gaping as she frowned hearing Raka's nonsense words and shook her head looking strangely at Raka?
"Why should I do that? After all, Arka and I have not been bound by any relationship, so I do not need to obey your silly words" Mira replied glancing at Raka who said something that sounded quite strange to her.
"I just don't want my beloved sister to cry someday because of your own mistakes that are wrong to choose a lover" said Raka with her face that is very annoying while narrowing her eyes. Mira is annoyed by Raka's silly behavior which is like mocking her.
"Relax, even if I get hurt one day, I won't say anything to you and I'll make sure I won't bother you!!" his reply was upset because of Raka's words.
"Well!! Just look, don't call me again if you get into trouble with Raka, with your sister or your parents and even your neighbor's cat. Don't involve me!!" Excited annoyed. Their quarrels were getting hotter, they even forgot that they were in a public place. Many people looked towards Raka and Mira who were fighting. In their close relationship, often mockery is thrown by them to express their annoyance.
