Pursuing the Love of Rhea
40. Ara Si Jagoan's

" Good morning Rhee!" Said Ara cheerfully. The girl had just entered the classroom and immediately sat down beside Rhea.

" Good morning to Ra! It's so good to see you this morning." Rhea could see Ara's mood very well today. Seen from the smile that is always spread when entering the class until now.

" It's Rhea's Monday baby! So I have to start today cheerfully, so that the next six days I am as happy as today." Says Ara seriously. This morning Ara did not see her parents fighting as usual. So he hopes to feel this peace next.

" Grab Lo deh Ra! Btw, thank you very much Ra, you already told me that his brother Gavin is in the hospital. So I don't misunderstand Gavin anymore." Rhea was very grateful that the misunderstanding between her and Gavin was finally resolved thanks to Ara's help.

" Yes, equally. As a friend, I just don't want to be sad. That's why I'm in such a hurry to tell you." Ara sincerely said. Rhea who was so good to her all this time, made Ara want to help her best friend's problem.

" Yes, the title of Jannah and Ra!" Rhea smiled and put her arm on her best friend's arm. Making Ara also smile happily with Rhea's treatment.

" Don't mellow! I'm pulling out of the field, just gonna have a ceremony." The two eventually walked out of class to perform a flag ceremony every Monday.

****

" Huufftt..it's so hot!" Ara flicked her hands to her forehead which was sweating from the heat.

" Yes, I'm thirsty again. We're going to the cafeteria for Ra!" Rhea and Ara had just finished following the flag ceremony. The hot weather made them both sweat and thirst.

" May Rhee! I want to drink cold." Ara and Rhea immediately accelerated their steps towards the canteen. There are about 15 minutes of rest they have before the start of the lesson.

Upon arriving at the cafeteria, Rhea and Ara immediately ordered a fresh sweet iced tea to the canteen guards.

" Would you eat Ra?" Rhea could see that Ara was choosing the meal she was going to order.

" Yes Rhee, I'm starving! Just drank some milk. Do you want to eat too?" Ara only drank milk when she left school because she woke up late.

" No. I had breakfast." Rhea refused Ara's invitation to accompany her to eat. As Ara was busy choosing food, Rhea turned to the entrance of the canteen and saw Shasa and Bibi walking towards them. Rhea immediately smiled happily and waved to the two.

" At Aunt Shasa's!" Ara said a little surprised because she only realized when the two had arrived before Ara and Rhea.

" Hey.go to the cafeteria as well as Lo both." Shasa opened a conversation with the two friends, holding Auntie's arm.

" Yes yes! You both did not get hot sun just now during the ceremony. Dry throat, you know! You both hunted pesen, we both wait there yeah!" Rhea pointed at a table in the corner of the cafeteria and immediately left with Ara carrying the food and drinks they had ordered. Until the middle of the journey a person's feet intercepted Rhea's steps to walk.

Bukk...

" Aww...!" Rhea fell to the floor with a drink in her hand. His knees hit the floor very hard, making Rhea grimace in pain.

" Let's all right Rhee!" Ara was immediately shocked and immediately squatted on the floor to see the condition of her best friend.

" Hahaha.makanya if the road uses the eyes instead of using snoring!" Devina and her two friends laughed happily because they managed to make Rhea fall on the floor hard.

Hearing the words of Devina and her friends who were mocking Rhea, made Ara upset and approached the three.

" Uh...Did you intentionally make me fall? Let's apologize there!" Ara pointed to Rhea who had been led to stand by Shasa and Bibi.

" What did Lo say? Apologizing? Sorry I don't want to! Temen Lo is blind. Why should I apologize?" Devina said indifferently while looking at Ara cynically.

" Excuse me no!! Or Lo will be sorry for not knowing what I said!" Ara threatened Devina while pointing at the girl's face.

" Lo think I'm scared of Lo!" Devina immediately stood up and slapped Ara's cheek. Ara who was aware of Devina's actions, immediately caught the hand quickly. Ara then twisted Devina's wrist behind her body until she grimaced in pain.

" Aww..before I'm a jerk!!" Shouted Devina wrathfully. His hand hurt because of Ara's actions.

" I'll let you know that you're sorry for me!" Ara said firmly without wanting to be denied.

" Okay.ok! But let go of my hands!" Devina finally gives up and complies with Ara's wish to apologize to Rhea.

Ara jerked Devina's wrist from her hand firmly. Then smiled with satisfaction at having Devina apologize.

" What Lo see-my-wild! The apologies!" Ara stared intently at Devina who was not approaching Rhea.

" Sorry!" Devina said briefly while looking at Rhea lazily. Rhea is currently still standing accompanied by Shasa and Bibi. Devina did not seem to be sincerely apologizing to Rhea.

" Whose sincere if you want to apologize! Or I'll take you to the floor now!" Threaten Ara to Devina. He was not afraid of his upperclassman at all.

While holding back her annoyance, Devina slightly pulled the corner of her lips to smile at Rhea.

" I'm sorry! I didn't intentionally!" Devina said to Rhea again. After apologizing to Rhea he stared at the ara ferociously. "Happy Lo?"

Ara smiled mockingly at Devina, then flicked her hand telling Devina to leave the place immediately. Devina who got such treatment from Ara could only stomp her legs in annoyance then immediately went to follow Ara's will. The two friends of Devina who were laughing earlier also left the canteen for fear of dealing with Ara.

" Champoon Lo Ra!" Aunty raised her thumb as Ara approached the three of them.

" Yes, I swear Lo it's cool bingits know nothuh!" Shasa also praised Ara who dared to fight the upperclassman earlier.

" Thank you Ra, you wanted to buy me!" Rhea said sincerely. Rhea did not expect that Ara would dare to go against Devina.

" Don't say thanks! That's what temen is for. Lo's knee how's Rhee?" Ara slightly bent over looking at the condition of Rhea's knee that hit hard to the floor.

" Oh my goodness, Rhee, until you bruise your knee! We're going to the UKS to get treated!" Ara was a little anxious to see the condition of Rhea's knees that were already purple red.

" No need for Ra. Hold on again the bell sounds. I'm afraid we'll be late for class. I don't want us to be in the same law as Helen." Rhea seemed more afraid of being punished by Miss Helen who was a killer math teacher, than thinking about the fate of her ailing knee.

Ara seemed to think after hearing Rhea's words. Ara is also honestly also afraid of Miss Helen. But according to Ara, Rhea's knee must be treated immediately so as not to get worse later.

" What if I go to the UKS to ask for a cure. You're both the ones who anterin Rhea into class!" Ara pointed at Shasa and Bibi so that the two would take Rhea to the classroom safely.

" May also be Lo's idea! Kuy Bi, Lo gotong tuh Rhea! It is strong! Eat a lot more!" Shasa still had a chance to tease Bibi when Rhea was feeling pain in her knee.

" His mother the Rhea sack of rice, use in gotong everything! And For your information yes, although I eat a lot, but it's all food so fat in my body instead of energy, Markonah! Are you understand!!" Auntie said annoyed at Shasa.

" O Englishman Lo! Kuy hunt!" Shasa and Bibi then took both sides of Rhea's arm and walked slowly following the girl's footsteps towards class. Ara immediately went to the UKS to ask for medication for Rhea's bruised knee.

*****

" Excuse me Buk! I want to get medicine for my friend. It fell in the canteen. Keep his knees bruised it's buken." Ara is currently in the UKS. He spoke politely to the medics in the room.

" Wait a minute!" The attendant immediately stood up and walked to the front of the medicine storage cabinet. When he found the medicine he was looking for, he immediately gave it to Ara.

" It's an ointment to treat bruises. But if your friend feels excruciating pain in his knee while walking, I suggest he be taken to the hospital for further examination."

" Thank you for the advice and also the medicine. Excuse me first." Rhea nodded her head at a glance then left the room to head to the classroom.

" Hey.ugly girl! It turns out that you're a hero too!" Ejek Azka on Ara. She accidentally waits for Ara in front of the UKS to harass the girl.

" I'm not a hotshot. But I'm again bales the guy who's been nasty to me." Ara said casually as she turned to look at Azka. He was in a great hurry outside the UKS room earlier, so he did not notice that Azka was leaning against the wall of the room.

" Do you have martial arts?" Tanya Azka was curious.

" Yes, a little." Answer Ara briefly. He was a little lazy to chat at length with Azka. Ara wanted to immediately return to the classroom to give the medicine she got to Rhea.

" Well.cool dong! What color belt is it?" Ask Azka again.

" Black!" Answer Ara briefly again. Instantly Azka gasped at Ara's short answer. If he already holds a black belt, it means that the martial arts that Ara has are not playing games.

" If no one wants to be asked again, I unplug it! I want to give this medicine to Rhea." Ara pointed to an ointment that was in her hand at Azka.

Azka, who had regained her shock, nodded her head in approval to Ara's words. Then Ara immediately darted away leaving Azka who was still looking in amazement at the girl.

' If I want to be his girlfriend, I have to be ready to be samsak alive!' azka said to herself. Azka immediately shuddered in horror at imagining her fate, if she dared to mess with Ara later.

After a while Azka imagined her fate when she became Ara's girlfriend later, she finally left the place and returned to her class on the second floor.
