Pursuing the Love of Rhea
53. It's Falling Down the Stairs

This morning Azka, Alex and Dhafi were walking along the second-floor corridor to their classroom. Although Gavin did not join the three of them, the attention of each girl remained on each of them.

When the three of them had arrived in the classroom, it turned out that Gavin had come first and was already sitting sweetly on his stool.

" Good morning Mr. Gavin Ardana Wijaya!" Azka bowed respectfully in front of Gavin like a servant. While Dhafi and Alex who stood behind Azka could only shake their heads at the absurd behavior of their best friend.

" Lo noisy!" Gavin snorted bitterly at Azka's very irritating face this morning.

" Busy Lo Vin, Sampe not nongol to basecamp?" Said Alex who was sitting next to Gavin. They had all not met for two days because of Gavin's busyness in Papa Ardana's company.

" Sorry bro." Gavin looked regretfully at his three best friends while leaning his back on the back of the chair.

" It's okay bro! The important thing is Lo happy to do Lo's job as the successor to the company." Dhafi said wisely while patting Gavin on the shoulder.

" Thanks!" Gavin smiled happily at Dhafi's words earlier.

" Lo know no bro, then we met Rhea with her friends in the cinema. It turns out they're all Horror movie lovers." Azka said enthusiastically.

" I already know. Rhea told me the same story. He also said that Lo was trying to make the cement decetin." Gavin looked at Azka cynically while shaking his head.

" What's wrong with me deletin' his friend Rhea. I think he is both single. So no problem dong?" Speak Azka frankly.

" The problem is Lo is Playboy. Rhea did not want her friend to be heartbroken because of Lo. So I hope Lo lostin' Lo's intention to make him deletin." Gavin's orders were firm.

Gavin actually does not want to interfere in Azka's romance, but because this concerns his best friend Rhea so he does not want to be in trouble later.

When Azka listened to Gavin's words earlier, Azka could only remain silent and could not refute Gavin's words at all. Azka admits she's a Playboy, but doesn't have the chance to try to get close to the girl she likes.

When the four of them no one opened their voices, suddenly the atmosphere turned a little awkward.

" I'll pull it!" Speak Azka with a flat expression. Azka immediately turned around leaving Gavin's desk without waiting for a response from all her friends.

" I also pulled bro!" Dhafi followed Azka from behind as they were one class. Gavin and Alex nodded their heads in response to Dhafi's words.

" We all know that Azka is Playboy. But I think this time he's really serious about girls. You know yourself how the criteria of Azka girls before this. And the girl he took down is now far from her criteria."

Alex gives Gavin a bit of his view of Azka. Although they often quarrel, but Alex knows very well the nature of his best friend.

" I know. I just want to see his reaction. If he really likes girls, he'll keep chasing and won't miss my ban."

Gavin pulled the corner of his lips after speaking at length with Alex. Gavin was a little curious about how the continuation of his best friend's romance drama. She hopes this time Azka is really serious about getting into a relationship with Ara. Otherwise, Gavin is afraid that it will affect his relationship with Rhea.

After the entrance bell rang, Gavin and Alex ended their conversation about Azka.

" Oh, I'm late again." A girl was walking around, looking left and right while looking at the surrounding situation. He was currently outside the school area, more precisely behind the school building. The girl planned to climb over the wall, in order to get inside the school area because she had arrived late.

" I can do it!" The girl stared at the height of the wall she had to climb. This was his first experience doing so. Were it not for fear of the killer math teacher, he would have decided to take a day off today.

When the girl saw a wooden staircase that was lying on the ground not far from where she was standing, she immediately smiled happily and immediately took the stairs without a second thought.

Slowly he began to awaken the ladder to the wall and began to climb it slowly.

" O Allah strengthen the servants!" The girl muttered to herself as she was already at the top of the stairs. When he looked down, the girl's legs and hands immediately trembled in fear of heights.

" Woi.. Why Lo!" The heavy voice of a man averted the girl's gaze. He could see the boy standing behind the school wall holding a cigarette in his hand.

" Bad Azka!" The girl was shocked by what she saw, until she subconsciously mentioned Azka's name quite loudly.

" Gee!" Azka was also as surprised as Ara. He immediately threw away the cigarette in his hand so that the girl would not see him smoking in the place.

" Why wear everything?" Azka shook her head in disbelief that Ara dared to climb that high enough wall.

" I'm late, so I'm through here." Ara clucked in annoyance as Azka asked the real reason she already knew.

" Buruan down! Go to the teacher!" Azka urged Ara to come down immediately so as not to get caught by the BK teacher who was patrolling around the school.

" Yes, dude! Patience with napa! I'm getting ready for this again. My knees are slipping downward."

" Buruan, here jump to me!" Azka looked up while raising her hands to catch Ara.

Because there was no other choice, Ara finally ventured to jump towards Azka. Before jumping he did not forget to exhale loudly then read the basmallah so that he did not end up injured when Azka caught him.

" One..two..three..."

Ara jumped immediately on the count of three. Azka swiftly caught the girl so as not to fall to the ground.

Hupp's....

Azka hugged Ara tightly, as the girl fell into her lap. But bad luck seemed to approach the two of them because suddenly Azka lost her balance and fell backward with Ara who was still in her arms.

" Aww...my waist!" Azka groaned in pain because her waist was sore. Azka felt bad luck, had fallen down the stairs. It means that it has fallen to the ground and then overwritten also by Ara whose body is quite heavy.

Ara immediately stepped away from Azka's body and helped the man to stand up slowly.

" Sorry brother!" Ara grimaced to see Azka who was holding her waist. Ara felt very guilty to the guy for having been injured because of him.

" Lo girl what sack of rice? Very heavy Lo!" Azka raised her voice intonation slightly on Ara who was bowing her head in fear of Azka's anger.

" Sorry, I didn't mean it!" said Ara slowly. Ara still faithfully lowered her head. He was too scared to look into the guy's eyes.

Azka who just realized that Ara was frightened by the intonation of her voice that was quite loud, finally slowed down a little.

" I'm okay, I'm okay!" Azka patted Ara's head gently, so that the girl would not be afraid of her anymore.

" What's really big brother?" Ara immediately raised her head and immediately looked at Azka with eyes sparkling with pleasure.

" Yes, but it looks like Lo has to take the same responsibility for my injury!" Azka again rubbed her waist that was still sick in front of Ara.

" What responsibility? I'm taking him to the doctor?" Ask Ara innocently.

" No need! Lo enough to be my assistant until my waist is healthy again." Azka said firmly while looking at Ara seriously.

" Assistant?" Ara repeated what Azka had said earlier. Ara scrunched her forehead confused by the task Azka gave her.

" Yes, you must be my assistant. You must be ready to help me anytime and anywhere."

Azka smiled happily because she managed to get Ara closer to her. He didn't care at all about Gavin's talk. He will prove to everyone that he will be serious about his relationship with this girl.

For a moment Ara tried to digest what Azka said. 'So her assistant? This playboy guy? I'm not wrong, horrified? He wants to find a chance with me? Look out for him to dare to mess around!' Ara said in her heart while looking at Azka fixedly.

" Why Lo diem? Don't you want to be my assistant? Want to avoid responsibility?" Azka asked the girl.

" Okay, I'll be Lo's assistant!" Finally Ara agreed to Azka's request. He would see how far the guy would take advantage of his current state. If Azka acts over the limit on Ara, she will not hesitate to teach a lesson to the guy.

" Good!" Azka smiled triumphantly as she looked at Ara. He would take advantage of this moment to get closer to the girl.

" What was my first assignment, brother?" Ask Ara without making small talk. He was eager to leave before Azka when his task was done.

" Task first, Lo has to anterin me to class. But before that we hide there until the flag ceremony is over." Azka pointed at the warehouse that was not far from where they were standing.

" Not anywhere else to hide?" Ara asked boldly while looking at Azka sharply.

" Nothing. Do not be afraid I will do the same thing Lo. My waist hurts again and Lo is not my type either. So don't imagine anything weird." Speak Azka firmly.

" I don't think it's weird! Just keep your mouth!" Ara stomped her feet and immediately left Azka to visit the warehouse that was appointed by the man earlier.

" Woi.help me walk. My waist hurts!" Azka half-screamed calling Ara who was already walking in front of her.

" Husse...It's noisy!" Ara placed her index finger in front of her lips so that Azka reduced the volume of her voice. After that Ara returned to pick up Azka who was left behind and then asked Azka to walk.

" Slowly!" Azka said in annoyance as Ara sped up her steps walking towards the warehouse. Make Azka's waist back painful.

" It's bawel!" Ara finally slowed down her steps with Azka. By the time they reached the warehouse, they just sat quietly without opening any chatter to each other.

When the flag ceremony was over, Ara drove Azka to her second-floor class. After that Ara returned to her class regardless of the looks of the girls who were staring resentfully at her.
