Pursuing the Love of Rhea
30. Disappointment of Ara

In a mall that is quite famous in the city of Jakarta, two girls who still use school uniforms are walking around to every store in the mall.

" I'm so tired of following you Ra! Do we want to buy shoes?But why is every store in this mall Lo enterin?" Said Rhea while sighing tiredly. Rhea did not expect Ara would take her around every store in a mall this big.

" Hehehe..not anything Rhee time! Wash your eyes!" Ara laughed wryly looking at Rhea who looked exhausted walking around.

" Wash the eyes of the nutmeg Lo picek! There's my feet on my monyong!!" Rhea answered a little. Rhea promised in her heart, never to follow Ara again to the mall.

" Santuy Rhee! Don't push dong! That's the shoe store we want to see!" Ara pointed to a shoe store that was at the end of the shop.

" Kuy, I want to go home. I'm not here again with Lo!" Rhea said a little annoyed and then pulled Ara's hand to come to the store immediately.

" Patience buk, kayak in pursuit of the devil!" Chirps Ara origin. Make Rhea swerve and pull back her best friend's hand faster.

When Rhea and Ara reached the store, they both enthusiastically saw all the shoes neatly arranged in the storefront. There are various models of sports shoes that are sold in the store. Making Rhea and Ara a little confused to find the basketball shoes they will buy.

" Good day, how can I help you?" Greet a shop employee kindly.

" Good day too! We want to find basketball shoes for girls. Can recommend a good model does not mbak, because confused about it mih mih milihnya." Reply to Rhea politely while smiling at the store employee.

" Could, please come with me!" The store clerk escorts Rhea and Ara to a corner of the store displaying all models of basketball shoes for boys and girls. Rhea and Ara were stunned to see so many models of basketball shoes arranged there.

" Please sit down! I'll show you some models of shoes for you guys." The store clerk immediately headed for the women-only basketball shoe rack and picked up some good models for his customers to choose from today.

" Here you go, here are some of the latest models of shoes!" The store clerk showed some models of basketball shoes to Rhea and Ara. The two girls carefully looked at the several models of shoes that were in their hands.

After a while looking at the shoes offered by the store clerk, Rhea and Ara finally dropped their respective choices. Rhea chose Nike Kyrie Expession shoes in pink with a combination of blue. While Ara chose Nike Air Jordan 6 Millennial shoes pink.

They both smiled satisfied with each other's choices and finally handed the shoes to the store clerk for payment.

When Rhea and Ara's shoes were neatly packed and paid for, they both left the store feeling happy.

" It's going to be cool enough for us, Rhee!!" Ara said proudly while shaking the Paper bag containing the shoes she just bought.

" It's not because of Ra's shoes! But if our skills are good then we can say cool! The shoes are just a factor." Obviously Rhea on Ara. The two girls are currently on an escalator to get down to the ground floor.

" Yes, a secretary! Btw, let's go get some food, Rhee! My stomach is laper!" Said Ara while holding her stomach.

" I can too, I'm a laper! We're going to KF! I want to eat fried chicken!" The two of them excitedly descended the escalator towards the ground floor where the fried chicken restaurant was located.

*****

Rhea and Shasa had already arrived at the fried chicken restaurant. Rhea immediately ordered their food, while Ara sat sweetly while playing her phone.

Ara who was getting tired of playing mobile phones, chose to see the scenery outside the restaurant behind a transparent glass wall. Ara can see the atmosphere of the mall that is not so crowded because today is not a weekend.

While Ara was still watching the people passing by in front of the restaurant, unexpectedly Ara saw the figure of her papa was holding hands with a woman who still looked young.

Ara who saw that immediately rushed out of the restaurant and chased after her father and the woman. Ara was furious and wanted to hit them both.

" Pope...!" Shouted Ara loudly. The atmosphere of the mall was not so crowded, making the sound of Ara echoing and stopping the steps of her papa who was walking in front.

When papa Ara heard such a familiar voice in her ears, she immediately looked back. Instantly he was very surprised to see Ara who had been standing staring at him with a flash of anger emanating from the girl's eyes.

As Ara approached, she could see her papa and the woman was hand in hand affectionately. Ara grew increasingly upset and continued to stare at the two until they came to their senses and let go of the hand.

" What is Papa doing here? She who? Show Ara to the woman standing next to her papa.

Hearing Ara's question made her papa a little nervous. "He's papa's business partner. We both just finished lunch. What are you doing here? Not straight home." Papa Ara deliberately diverted the subject.

" I'm here again to buy shoes for basketball practice just like me. Papa's business partner is pretty too huh? Still young again. I thought she was papa's affair!" said Ara cynically while staring at the two alternately. Ara was not convinced that the woman beside her papa was a business associate.

" You don't be reckless, Ra! Get you home now! Papa, this aunt wants to go to the office first. We have business to finish." Papa said a little emotion.

" Okay, I'm gonna go home. Papa be careful! Take this aunt home sometime. The atmosphere at home is getting rame. Want some AUNT??" Ara deliberately mentioned the word 'Tante' out loud and gave the woman a mocking look.

" I.iya." answered the woman briefly. He looked very nervous when dealing with Ara, while the papa just nodded at a glance without wanting to talk again with his daughter.

Then father Ara and the woman left Ara alone in that place. Ara felt very disappointed and angry with her father's behavior. It felt like Ara was eager to grab and hit the woman earlier. But Ara still had sane thoughts, so she would not embarrass herself in public.

When she felt a little calmer, Ara decided to return to the restaurant. Ara was convinced that Rhea must be confused looking for her.

" Where the hell is Ra? I've been waiting for Lo from earlier." Rhea said a little panicked. Rhea had been waiting for her best friend over 15 minutes ago.

" Oh yes, let's eat! I'm a heavy laper." The two of them finally started eating their own food. The tasteless Ara just rattled his food. It did not escape the attention of Rhea who was in front of him.

" Lo why the hell is Ra? You sick again?" Ask Rhea worried.

" I'm not Rhee!" Ara tried to smile and tried to eat a bit of her food so that Rhea could not be suspicious of what had happened to her just now.

Rhea who was still curious, continued to pay attention to her best friend while continuing to enjoy the food she had ordered. When the food was up, he could see that Ara had only eaten a small amount of her food. In addition, Ara's more silent attitude, made Rhea a little worried.

" If you have anything, say the same to me, Ra! I hope you don't pendem yourself lo problem! With Lo a little venting the same me, it could ease your burden at this time." Rhea said sincerely while rubbing Ara's arm gently.

" I'm okay with Rhee. I'm fine." Ara went back to lying while putting a fake smile on her lips on Rhea.

Rhea who knew that Ara's smile was fake could only sigh tiredly. That friend of his might not be ready to tell Rhea the matter. So Rhea wouldn't force it any further because it was Ara's privacy.

But as clever as Ara save the sadness in his heart, Ara is still a teenage girl who needs a place to pour out the sadness she feels in others.

Until unknowingly Ara's tears that he had been holding up from earlier, came down just so wet the cheeks of the girl. making Rhea a little surprised and immediately stretched out a tissue to clean the tears that had been dripping on her best friend's cheeks.

Rhea who did not know at all about Ara's problems, just sat quietly beside her best friend. Not forgetting Rhea stroked Ara's back, so that her best friend was a little calmer.

When Ara had stopped crying, Rhea took the initiative to give Ara a drink so that her best friend was not dehydrated after crying.

" Are you satisfied with the crying? If so, drink first!" Ara held out mineral water to Ara.

" It's." Ara answered briefly and then received a drink offered by Rhea. Ara who was very thirsty, immediately drank the water until half was left.

" Oh yes, we go home! I'm tired of it, I want to rest!" Rhea said again. The girl did not want to discuss what was the matter that made Ara cry earlier. He would wait until Ara told herself the problem.

" Why didn't I cry?" Ara said a little astonished.

" No. I don't want to have to tell the same story. I want Lo to sincerely confide in me without any coercion at all." Rhea replied with a smile to her best friend.

" I want to share with you! But not here, yes. Can I not play at Lo's house? I'm going home again." Ara said honestly. There was no one at home anyway. My mom and dad are busy working. All that was left in the house was a maid.

" May dong! But there's a consultation fee!" Rhea said while raising her eyebrows teasing Ara.

" What kind of psychologist? Any consultation fees?" Ara said a little annoyed.

" Yes, you want to confide. I will automatically give you the solution dong. Yeah means my work is almost similar-similar psychologist dong!" Obviously Rhea again made Ara snort bitterly at her best friend this one.

" Grab Lo deh! I paid for it! But don't be expensive! My money was gone to buy those shoes." Ara pasrah.

" okay." Rhea gave her thumbs up to Ara while blinking one eye.

Just as the two of them were already out of the restaurant, Rhea's phone suddenly rang out loud. Made the two girls stop their steps out of the mall.

" Bentar to Ra!" Rhea saw who the person who contacted her was. It turns out that Gavin's name is on there.

" Ciee..yayang Gavin called Rhee! Lift dong! Long pity in the wild." Said Ara who had seen the name of Gavin who was calling.

" Yes, I'll pick it up first." Rhea spoke briefly and then picked up a phone call from Gavin.

Rhea: "Hello!!"

Gavin: "Hello is also Yang! You where? Was he at home?"

Rhea: "No, I'm still at the mall. This is going home. Why mother?"

Gavin: "I'm not just. You want me to pick you up?"

Rhea: "No, I went home with Ara. He's gonna play at my house first."

Gavin: "Oh, be careful on the road! If there's anything, you call me!"

Rhea: "okay!! I'm matiin ya phone! Nye.."

Gavin: "Bye is also Yang! Love you." - Love you."

Eventually the phone connection was turned off. Rhea and Ara again continued their steps out of the mall. While carrying the newly purchased shoes earlier, the two of them continued to chatter cheerfully until they both arrived at the mall courtyard.

When an empty taxi stops in front of Rhea and Ara, the two of them immediately board the taxi and continue their destination to return to Rhea's house.
