The sun was rising high, indicating that the day had passed. The night changed in the morning. Time to get back to activity. Same thing with the beautiful girl who walks along the school corridor. Looks like a leisurely walk to class.
Azallea Amaira A. or often called Ara. Since his mother died he became a figure of cool and cold. He never cared about anything around him.
‘Always like this there is never a change. A very disturbing crowd, an atmosphere that can never calm his inner’ when he arrived in front of the class.
He saw the classroom atmosphere that began to be crowded because soon the lesson will begin. Irritatedly Ara stepped her feet towards the very end of the class table. Just now Ara was sitting her body, suddenly a beautiful girl was sitting beside her with a typical grin that was very boring for Ara.
‘Aish, look at him very strange looking’ muttered Ara.
It's not Aletha's name if she's not acting weird. Yes, her name is Aletha Lutfiana Wijaya the first person who wants to be friends with a cold, haughty and quiet girl like Ara.
I don't know what made him so eager to be Ara's friend. He has been repeatedly ignored but he always tries to get close to Ara and claims Ara is a friend, even her best friend.
"For Ara” greet Letha cheerfully that's one of his 'corky' nature'
Ara just muttered indistinctly while continuing to be cool in her own world. What if I hadn't read his favorite novel. Isn't Ara a quiet girl, for her there is no time to talk to those who don't matter.
"Fra... Is your language assignment finished?" ask Letha.
“Hmm” Mumbles Ara.
Letha just smiled at Ara's reply which had never changed since the beginning of their meeting. He was never angry or upset with all the indifference and coldness of Ara. For him with Ara letting him be around it was already a lot of fun.
Silent...
From the corner of her eyes Ara saw Letha's sweet smile which made her uneasy.
'Is he not bored with my attitude? Basis' inner Ara.
"Ah yes, have you heard from our new math teacher?" Ask Letha
"..."
" You don't know. Because you're too cool with your own world. Oi... When are you gonna change Ara? Are you not tired of staying silent without the intention of talking even if only to me" said Letha.
'Who told you to be friends with me?' answer Ara in the heart.
"Hopefully our new teacher is a handsome man like Mr. Fino” said Letha expectantly.
“Aish! If only Mr. Fino hadn't married Ms. Aalisha. Ah sucks” chirp again and keep chattering.
‘Make sure teachers are boring. What is important to me?’ thought Ara.
...****...
The break bell rang all students scattering out of the classroom to fill the stomachs of those who had been protesting since the teacher explained the material. Different from Ara. He now sits alone in the school with a novel in his hands. No one knows if every time he goes here, including Letha. Whether it's a break or a truancy.
"I thought you were here?" said someone who was sitting next to him.
Ara gasped for a moment, but when she looked at the person who found her she just kept quiet and read back.
"Later tonight there's an event at papa's house. A family dinner, haven't we eaten together in a long time? You wanna come tonight? I'll pick you up, how?" said the man while staring at the look on the girl's face beside him.
Instead of answering, Ara laughed a little at the man in navy shirt in front of her. It was as if what was coming out of the man's lips was a joke.
"Must I be expected in my own family? Isn't her son just you a sister? Ah sorry I was so impolite to call you 'kakak’ sir. Sorry for my sassness sir. And for your offer. I have no interest in coming. If in the end it's just an insult that I accept. Excuse me" said Ara, leaving behind a man who is none other than her teacher and her biological brother. Alfino Xelo Alardo's.
While Fino only let out a heavy sigh staring at Ara's back that disappeared behind the door. There's nothing he can do right now. He could only stare at the vast expanse of blue sky while muttering in a heart that no one could hear.
.
.
Ara continued to step towards her class. Today he felt his mood was shattered instantly just because of the offer of dinner from his brother. No one knows if Mr. Fino the youngest and most handsome teacher they know is Ara's older brother. Why could? Because it was Ara who covered her identity. He did not want his family's secrets exposed. That's why Ara doesn't want to be friends with anyone. Moreover, she is just a girl with a mediocre brain. Unlike the older brother who is very clever and admired by many people.
He is indeed very different from Fino who is smart and intelligent. During school and college Fino always became a champion in every race. Whether it's in academia or non-academic. Even at the age of 24 years, a very young age he has completed his S2 and now he is a teacher and successor to his father's Alardo Corp company. Great right?
As for Ara, don't ask any more cute, cold, haughty girls and troublemakers. Coupled with a fit brain that is why he is not recognized as the second child in the Alardo family. Because of his shameful attitude. The girl who always ranked last, a very distant difference with her brother. For the Mr. Felix Alardo who is none other than father Ara has a child like Ara who is stupid is a very shameful thing. That was why Ara had covered up her identity.
Arriving at class Ara immediately took a backpack and left just like that along with the sound of the bell entering the next lesson
"AZALLEA AMAIRA!!! WHERE ARE YOU GOING!!! IT'S TIME FOR LESSON HOURS TO START!!!" Shouted a teacher back there who was none other than Fino.
Ara stepped without looking back. He was very lazy to argue with 'His dear son' that's what Fino called for Ara. Ara continued walking down the school corridor casually. Without caring about Fino's screams. All he wanted right now was to find calm. His steps came to a halt under a huge, very shady tree. His back rests on a tree trunk by holding his backpack. A gust of wind made her beautiful long hair dance. Ara closed her eyes, enjoying the breeze that hit her beautiful face. Until a small snore sounded indicating that he was asleep.
...****...
..."I believe in 'love at first sight'. Because the first time I looked into your beautiful eyes that's where I felt something thrilling”...
From a distance a man looked at Ara who was asleep with a sweet smile. Slowly the man approached the tree where Ara was sleeping leaning. The man's outstretched hand rubbed Ara's right cheek gently without any intention of waking up. The corner of the man's lips was pulled up.
'you're getting pretty, long time we haven't met. And now I'm back for you, baby' the man's inner self then got up and left.
...****...
Fino walked down the corridor connecting the teacher room with the school garden. From a distance he saw a student sleeping under a tree. He has enough to memorize who the figure there is, who else if not his own sister who is very difficult to manage. He only let out a heavy sigh considering all his sister's changed behavior.
"Mas... Mas Fino" call someone from behind.
And sure enough it turns out that Aalisha Darwin Alardo is a young teacher who is no less beautiful and now holds official status as the wife of Fino since two months ago. Fino smiled at his wife.
"What's the matter, baby?" tanya Chanyeol rubbed Aalisha's head gently.
"Nothing what is it. Just why are you here? Isn't it time you taught Ara's class?" ask Aalisha
"Hmmm... But look" said Fino, pointing his chin at the park.
"I don't know how to make her the way she used to be, a sweet girl who was very obedient and didn't act much. My little girl who always smiled and laughed like before she died. And before you get married again. I don't know what else to do? What else do I have to do to bring back my old little girl? I really failed as a sister. I failed, baby. I failed." said Fino, full of regrets.
"No, you didn't fail. Maybe Ara can't accept this situation. Or maybe he's having a problem that doesn't worry you. Do not think too much. He's still labile. All we have to do is always be beside him no matter how busy we are. I know how she feels. I-i understand. Behind her attitude like that she was very lonely" said Aalisha.
"Thank you dear..." Aalisha smiled at her husband.
They finally decided to go back to class. They teach classes next to each other. Fino teaches physics and Aalisha teaches languages.
...****...
While Letha was sitting restlessly staring at the entrance of the classroom. Because it's been almost 3 hours Ara his friend was not in class. Letha knows that Ara must be in the school garden. It feels like he caught up with Ara but he did not have the courage to skip the physics subjects that are currently underway. It seemed like during the second break Letha would look for Ara and take her back to class. Given that they will soon be taking some final exams.
.
.
Back in the garden, Ara had just woken up because of the sunlight that pierced through the gaps of the leaves. It has been almost 3 hours he fell asleep in a sitting position and it was enough to make his back sore. He tickled while muttering and then went to the cafeteria. He was too lazy to go back to class. Now rest second thought. Once in the cafeteria he ordered his favorite orange juice.
It didn't take long for the order to come. Sipping orange juice he took the phone in his pocket. And start playing the game he likes the most. Without him noticing a man or rather a teacher standing in front of him. Ara flinched as someone snatched her phone.
"What are you doing!!!" his screams made some students look at him.
"Amaira!!! you've missed your lesson hours and now you're relaxing here playing your phone!!! What a useless activity you know!!! What would you be if you were later!!! If it's always like this!!!" snapped at someone who was none other than Fino.
Ara immediately got up from her seat staring at the cynical Fino then left not forgetting she snatched back her phone while saying.
"It's none of your business DEAR MR. FINO” press Ara.
Fino who heard Ara's words could only clench her hands. He stared at the back that was starting to disappear from his sight. While Ara casually stepped home.
Letha who saw the scene earlier could only sigh. If it was like this, he could only be quiet. He was very understanding of Ara who was very stubborn.
Ara could only sigh heavily. He was very tired of his life. Arriving at the apartment he immediately entered the room, throwing his frail body on a soft bed.
‘A tiring. Very tiring’ murmured Ara.
These few days Ara felt her body was very tired easily. Often he also felt dizzy.
‘Am I going to get sick? I hope it doesn't. If I get sick who will take care of me? Oh my... Strengthen myself this’ said Ara Iirih rise to the balcony.
Ddddrr... Dddrrr...
Ara's phone rang over the nakan. He re-entered the phone then shifted the green button without seeing the name of the caller.
"Hello.." said Ara cuek.
"..." quiet
"Hello.." she said again.
"Ara.." replied a man across the street.
Ara stared at her phone screen while not recognizing the man's voice. ‘no new?' muttered
"Hm. Who?" ask Ara back
"..."
Tuutts... Tuuttts... Tuutts...
Connection disconnected. Ara stared flat at her phone screen. Not wanting to think too long he decided to clean himself up first.
After a few minutes Ara came out of the bathroom with a fresher face. She walked to the dresser next to the closet. He began to comb the thick black mane as he could. Then he went to the bed to lay down his body. Not forgetting he took a medicine that could help him calm down.
...****...
Far across there a man in a suit stood staring at the dense vehicle passing by in the street from the workspace on the top floor of the building. A smile that does not fade adds to his good looks. He kept smiling looking at his phone screen. Yeah, he just called someone he's been looking for.
"Tony, tell your men to keep an eye on him from a distance. And don't let him or anyone else know they're watching him. And keep reporting to me what he's doing. I don't want to lose him again like I used to" the man in black told the man in front of him as he stared at the picture of a girl smiling sweetly.
”Any tuan” said a man named Tony then went to do his job.
"You're so pretty, baby, like mom. Just wait a minute. Soon we will be together." said the man.
