An interesting question has just been asked. No doubt, everyone who was there was also curious about Dara's answer. Because they all know that Dara is being left by her lover to America. Surely Dara's answer will be very interesting to look forward to.
"LDRan for five years" Dara replied without thinking.
Everyone was surprised by Dara's response, which was quick enough and sounded very confident. It seemed that Dara was completely unencumbered by the question.
"Wuih seriousan lo, will you be strong? Five years old" said Bimo, the only person who doubted Dara.
"That's a sign of a loyal girl. How the hell lo," said someone who had given the question.
"Ah I'm sure, Dara said that because only a few days left. Try it after a year and two years, maybe the story is different again," added Bimo impressed underestimate.
"Lo male mouth julid really well," said another person feeling furious.
"Yes sorry, the cave is just giving the opinion of doang," said Bimo can still relax.
Everyone's mood is suddenly bad because of one person. Most of them, especially the women, were looking towards Bimo, because they were also annoyed by Bimo's heartless revelation. But not with Dara, he just responded casually, he just smiled. He did not bother about it too much, because according to him, everyone can argue.
Then Rakha, he paid no heed to Bimo. Dara's answer, who was willing to connect remotely for five years, was what bothered her a little.
"Well, let's go on again."
The game was decided to continue. Someone turned the bottle again. The next victim to be targeted is...
"Richa!!" say them simultaneously. They were so happy when the chairman got hit too.
"Truth or dare?"
"Truth," answered Rakha quickly.
"That's a good opportunity. Who wants it?"
"Gue! I'm aja! I'm aja!" say someone excitedly. And that person is the Princess.
"Gue wants to ask. We often do that. Co-training, standing together. Because of the dryness together, there are not any among these girls who make Sister smitten. The term cinlok. There ain't?" asked the Princess without hesitation towards her upperclassman.
"Good question too, I also want to know," said a woman who is Rakha's classmate. "Come Rakha, replied dong," he said again impatiently.
"There," Rakha replied shortly.
"Wuih who tuh, all the same name dong," pinta women earlier.
"Don't, pity, be ashamed again" said another.
"No papa, let's not be curious. Aye, right?"
Some people are curious about the name of the woman Rakha intended. But there are some who do not agree, because they think, if Rakha to mention the name, it could be awkward will happen.
When everyone was curious about Rakha's answer, Rakha unfortunately did not even make a sound. Rakha did not refuse or tell. It made someone angry.
"ah! Rakha is not good either! Time diem aj-"
"The name is Adara Leona" Rakha finally ambushed.
Rakha's unexpected answer clearly shocked the people. They simultaneously glared with mouths that were equally gaping. Especially the person who was mentioned by name. Dara's shock level exceeded the others. Dara's body immediately petrified, like being electrocuted by high voltage electricity.
Rakha called my name? Is it not wrong? dara's inner question seemed to not believe in Rakha's courage.
"Bad lo. Girls have people like this" said the woman who was in a class with Rakha earlier.
"Emang why? Love is a crime? I don't call this one anyway."
For the second time they were taken aback by Rakha's statement. Now they feel like they are not facing Rakha. The Rakha they know is a very closed Rakha especially about romance. Why did he suddenly become a different person?
And sure enough, due to Rakha's confession earlier, the atmosphere turned so silent, silent, awkward, and stiff. Because of the sun, the sound of night crickets can even be heard clearly in their ears. No one dared to open their voices first. Everyone is confused, how they chimed in Rakha's talk.
The stiffness continued to drag on. They threw each other a glance hoping that someone would dare to break the silence. But unfortunately, none of them remained silent to each other.
"Udah malem, go back, yuk" said a rescuer in the end.
...****************...
The barbequean event has been completed. One by one, everyone went home. Of the fifteen people present, there was only one left who had not returned. The man was still standing in front of Rakha's house to wait for an invitation from her brother.
"Yes, Brother."
"Will I get anther?"
"No need, sister. My brother's on his way here again," refused Dara.
"Oh that's it."
After that Rakha was silent, and Dara was silent, creating a silent and awkward atmosphere. Naturally they were so, the incident was enough to be the reason why they became stiff as they are today.
Dara plays her fingers because she is not calm. This awkwardness really tormented him. Dara wants to quickly get home, but unfortunately Andra never showed his nose.
"Become," call Rakha shortly.
"Hmm-yeah?" reply Dara a little flutter.
"I'm sorry for my confession."
When Dara was trying to forget the incident, Rakha even discussed it again. As a result, the awkwardness becomes more and more. Dara was confused to have to cope with how, her mouth also felt stiff to move.
"Oh.. yeah. No. papa," replied Dara stammering.
"Gue knows, you're not comfortable now because of that. I'm sorry" Rakha said again apologizing to Dara.
"Yes Brother. Just relax."
Although Dara asked Rakha to relax, but believe me, in his heart, he was not like that at all. Never mind relaxing, acting as if there is nothing difficult extraordinary.
"Gue doesn't want to mess up, Dara. So I admit it," said Rakha again.
Rakha's confession this time confused Dara a little. He did not quite understand the regret that Rakha said. "Hm...he?" he asked with a look that had dared to look at Rakha.
Rakha returned Dara's gaze. For a moment their eyes were connected. As Rakha looked at the girl, he thought of something he should have told Dara. Something very important to him and he has been quiet for a long time. And Rakha thought, this is the right time for Dara to find out.
Rakha cut off the eye connection and looked straight ahead.
"From the beginning I saw lo, precisely when you register yourself to join taekwondo. There I was interested in you. Plus we are often training together, match together, your good treatment to me, your unique and funny behavior in front of my eyes, make me more sure if I was just like the elo. And my desire to have lo was getting bigger over time" Rakha began to explain his heart.
Dara who was standing beside Rakha, he was quite stunned by what Rakha had just revealed to him. He also did not expect that Rakha liked him since the first time they met. Honestly, Dara was completely unaware of that. Instead, he was suspicious when Ruby realized where his position at that time was close to Abhay. Before that, Dara was completely unconscious.
"There was even one day where I almost revealed this feeling to you. Honestly, I want to shoot you. But unfortunately, that day was ruined when something happened in the cafeteria. The incident when lo and Abhay were said to be dating. Although I know it's just a game, but it doesn't feel right if I know my feelings on that day, too," continued Rakha.
Rakha remembered very well, that day, he had prepared himself to reveal his feelings to Dara when the time came home. However, during his break Rakha is suddenly told by his friend about Dara and Abhay dating. As a result, planning to express her feelings, Rakha decides to derail her.
"So I decided to spend some more time, and will wait until you guys bosen same game you own," said Rakha. Then Rakha pulled one corner of her lips and smiled wryly. "But who would have thought. You guys are just playing your own game."
Now there were two things Dara thought about as long as she heard the confession from Rakha. That is why Rakha dared to be as forthright as he is today? And what was Rakha's purpose in saying that to him?
"But..why did you tell me this?" asked Dara, she was curious.
"Percis is the same as what I said at the beginning. I don't want to retire a second time. At least after I revealed this to you, although late, but there is satisfaction in me. I feel relieved. I can finally express a feeling that I have been feeling for a long time. I will soon be out of High School. I don't want to feel this feeling constantly. So I think it's a good time to reveal everything" Rakha said.
After that, there was no more conversation between them. They fell silent again, both busy with their own thoughts. Until the sound of the motor horn becomes their silence breaker.
The sound of the motor horn was heard from outside the gate. Rakha suspects that the sound came from her sister Dara's motorcycle. "Abang lo kanya has come," he told Dara.
"Dad Brother, if I say yes Kak. Thanks for the meal," said Dara at the same time saying goodbye.
Dara started walking out of Rakha's house. Just as he was about to open the outer gate, Rakha suddenly called out his name.
"Become!"
Spontaneous Dara turned back her body. "What's up, brother?"
"I'm sorry once again if my confession makes you uncomfortable." For the umpteenth time Rakha apologized.
Dara just nodded small while smiling knots to say yes. Then Dara turned her body back. He also sighed heavily with the mind that spoke to itself.
Sorry for me too, brother, if you are disappointed with me. But if at that time Brother so shoot me, I'm not sure to accept Brother. Because I will only receive love from someone who has made me realize that love does exist. And the only man who managed to wake me up was Abhay.
