Pursuing the Love of Rhea
64. Tired!!

Prangs....

The sound of falling objects sounded quite loud downstairs. Ara who was sleeping in her room was disturbed and immediately ran outside to see what was going on there. When Ara was on the second floor staircase, she could see that the situation below was very messy. There were broken flower vases scattered on the floor. His parents were busy fighting as usual.

Ara who was used to watching that, could only sigh tiredly. His parents never got tired of fighting. Their marriage had been going on for 18 years, but that all seemed to mean nothing to the two of them.

Ara who witnessed that sometimes wondered, why don't they just split up? Why do they stay together when they end up hurting each other? Or does it have anything to do with Ara? Ara was eager to ask the two of them. But Ara's mouth was always heavy to ask such questions when dealing with her parents. Ara was more happy to dodge and run away from them until her mood calmed down again.

But it seems like today Ara has no patience anymore. Ara was already tired of facing situations like this every day. With a certain step, Ara immediately went down the stairs to approach her parents. When they realized Ara's arrival, they immediately stopped the quarrel and pretended that nothing had happened before Ara.

" Ara...do you want to eat son?" Ask Mama Ara softly. Mama forced her smile to Ara while stroking her daughter's head fondly.

Before Ara replied, Papa Ara first interrupted and said indifferently. "I'll go first!" Papa Ara immediately turned around and left Ara and her mother.

" Wait on Pa!" Shouted Ara loudly. Ara wants to solve this problem as soon as possible. So his father can't leave their house.

Papa instantly stopped and turned to look at Ara while knitting his brows. Papa remained standing in his place without even wanting to get close to Ara and her mother at all.

" I'm gonna talk seriously, Pa. Papa don't go!" Ara started to walk closer to her Papa while slowly pulling her mother's arm.

" What do you want to say? If nothing is important, let's talk about it next time. Papa's busy." Papa seemed to be in no mood to listen to what Ara wanted to say. So Papa Ara turned back to the door in a hurry.

" Pa, why don't you get divorced!" Said Ara loudly as she looked at her Papa's back. Mama who was beside Ara was immediately shocked to hear that. While Papa immediately stopped walking and turned to stare at Ara sharply.

" What did you say? A divorce? Do you know what you know about your relationship with Mom? You're just a little kid. So you don't have to interfere in our affairs!" Snapped Papa firmly while pointing at Ara's face.

" I'm not a kid anymore, Pa! I know what relationship you have been in all these years. And do you not realize that I am the victim of your selfishness! I'm tired of hearing you guys fuss. No one cares about me. You are always busy working. If you meet, you must be fighting all over. I'm sick of seeing you two!" Ara screamed loudly while staring at her parents alternately. Ara was finally able to convey the contents of her pent-up heart all this time.

" Bad kid!"

Plaque....

Papa slapped a pretty hard slap on Ara's smooth cheek. Papa then glared at the girl while tightly clenching his jaw. Papa seemed to be very angry as he listened to that Ara's words.

While the mother closed her mouth in surprise to see the sudden event happening before her eyes. Mama is very sorry for not being able to help Ara escape her husband's rampage.

While Ara is seen holding next to her cheek that feels sore because of the slap of her Papa earlier. The tears she had been enduring, finally shed along with the pain she was feeling right now.

" Is Papa satisfied with my slap? Satisfied I ha..?" Shouted Ara hysterically. Tears were growing more and more on his cheeks.

" You..." Papa was speechless when he saw the pitiful expression on his daughter's face.

" Ara.mama's sorry." Mama said an apology as she tearfully stared at the fig. Mama also held Ara's arm gently so that the girl's emotions subsided immediately.

" Deliver!" Ara jerked her hand violently until the handle slipped off. Ara then immediately ran out of the house to avoid the two parents.

" Ara...where are you going, son?" Mama tries to catch up to Ara but is soon arrested by Papa.

" Let the brat go." Said Papa firmly. Papa didn't seem to care much for Ara who had left the house crying.

" You are crazy, my. What if something happens to Ara? I don't want Ara to do anything." Mama lirih. Mama tried to release her arm that was held tightly by Papa.

" Nothing will happen to that child. He'll be home soon too." Papa further tightened the grip of his hand on the arm of mama.

" Perse me!" Say Mama firmly. She was just as tired as Ara all along. Papa's never-changing behavior makes him have to give up on this relationship. Mama realized that she had been ignoring Ara all along. But he was too selfish to admit it. Mama prefers to busy herself with working outside the home so that she can forget everything that happened with her household problems. So he did not expect that time had passed so quickly and Ara who had grown into a girl who lacked the affection and attention of her parents.

" To death I will not divorce you. Remember that!" Papa Ara pulled Mama's arm violently towards their room. After Mama entered, Papa immediately locked the room from the outside so that Mama could not go anywhere.

The sound of the door banging loudly echoed in the quiet house. Papa Ara was gone from the house, while Mama was still confined in her room. Over time the sound of the rumble weakened and finally stopped. Now there was only the sound of roaring cries from inside the room. My mom is very tired of her wedding. He decided he would end this suffering and would make up for all the time he wasted loving Ara with all his heart.

" Where are you going?" Tanya Mami Azka who was sitting on the sofa while reading a magazine in the living room.

" Want to play at Alex's, Mi! Sleep at home all day." Azka said casually as she walked over to her Mammya.

" Yes, but don't go home tonight!" Mami's orders were firm. Mami must always remind Azka because the child always forgets time if playing to his best friend's house.

" Yep Mi!" Azka gave her thumbs up to Mami and after that she immediately greeted her Mami. When she turned around, Azka remembered something and looked back at Mami. "Mi, I borrowed dong's car!"

Azka tried her luck this time in order to feel like riding in her own car. Azka seemed to be tired of riding a motorcycle, so she gave herself permission to ask her famous fierce Mama.

When Mami heard Azka's request, Mami immediately glared in annoyance at her son. "Can't! Cepetan go, otherwise Mami changed her mind!" Threaten Mommy firmly.

After the motorbike shot out of the residential complex area, Azka suddenly saw a girl who seemed very familiar he was walking alone. Azka recognized the girl when she saw her curly hair and height. Out of curiosity Azka immediately stopped her motor in front of the girl.

" Hey ugly! Where are you going?" Azka opened the glass of her helmet and greeted Ara cheerfully. It seemed like his mood had returned to good when he met Ara.

While Ara, completely inversely proportional to Azka. Ara was getting annoyed because Azka suddenly appeared before her and made her mood even more messy. Ara then scolded and chose to ignore Azka. Ara then walked away from Azka herself without answering the man's question.

Feeling neglected, Azka then got off her bike and immediately blocked Ara's arm firmly.

" Ehh..gue was the same as Lo! Lo budeg what....?" Azka's words suddenly came to a halt as she looked next to Ara's swollen and flushed face. The girl's eyes were also puffy as if she had cried. Azka looked very surprised and involuntarily stretched her hand on Ara.

" I'm not in the mood anymore." Ara threw Azka's hand that was still perched on her arm until it was released. Ara then walked back to leave the guy.

" Ra, wait!" Azka again held Ara's arm but it was not as strong as before.

" What the hell?" Ara started to get caught off guard by Azka's behavior which kept her from leaving immediately. Ara was already very tired of the quarrel in the house earlier. So Ara had no power at all to serve Azka.

" Lo why Ra? You're crying, aren't you? Keep this Cheek Lo..?" Just as Azka was about to touch Ara's cheek, the girl immediately brushed the hand off violently.

" Don't care about me! I don't want to be disturbed anymore!" Say Ara with a ketus. Ara glared at Azka so that the boy immediately went from her presence.

As if not listening to the girl's words, Azka again pulled the girl's hand towards her motorbike without saying a word. Azka seemed to be very angry when she saw Ara's swollen and pitiful-looking face.

" Sister, take me off! Where are you taking me?" Ara pulled her hand forcefully from the Azka Clutch. Ara did not want to follow the guy because Ara wanted to be alone at this moment.

" Lo's cheeks must be medicated!" Azka said briefly without looking at Ara. Azka did not want her heart to grow sad and sick when she saw the girl's appearance.

" No need brother. My cheeks are okay." The harder Ara pulled her hand, the stronger Azka grabbed Ara's hand. Ara who was very tired finally chose to follow Azka to approach his bike. It seemed useless against Azka, because she was very stubborn beyond Ara.

" Roving up! Don't run!" Azka said firmly as if she could read the mind of Ara who wanted to escape from her. Azka immediately got on the motorbike and glanced back as the girl also rode her motorbike.

" Hand!" Azka's orders again.

Ara could only snort in annoyance, upon hearing Azka's remark. But because Ara was also afraid of falling, Ara ended up being forced to circle her hands around the boy's waist.

Azka motorbike finally drove to the pharmacy to buy medicine. During the journey, Ara and Azka were both silent with their own thoughts. Arriving in front of the pharmacy, Azka told Ara to stay beside her motorcycle. While Azka went inside to buy the medicine needed to cure Ara's cheeks are still swollen and bruised.

After a few minutes in the dispensary, Azka hurriedly came out while carrying the medicine in her hands. When Azka was in front of Ara, she immediately took out the medicine to apply directly to Ara.

" Lo hold on! I'll slow down." Azka stretched out her hand to treat Ara's cheek using an ointment. Ara could only resign when Azka's hand rubbed her cheek gently.

" Oh, shhh..." Ara grimaced as Azka unintentionally rubbed Ara's cheeks violently.

" Sorry!" Azka felt guilty and quickly blew Ara's cheek. The sudden incident made Ara freeze because the distance between the two of them was too close. Azka was unaware of this and blew Ara's cheek. Unable to stand Azka's treatment, Ara finally pushed Azka's shoulder away from her.

" Want to find a chance?" Say Ara with a ketus. Ara tried to cover up her awkwardness by acting jutek with Azka.

" I've also looked at the icon times, if I'm looking for a chance with Lo!" Reply Azka did not want to lose. Azka was upset because her good intentions were misinterpreted by the girl.

" cirain!" Ara could only put on an innocent look for accusing Azka recklessly. Ara then shifted the topic so that she did not feel awkward about the incident earlier.

" Btw, thanks for buying me medicine. Sorry I didn't bring any money. So I'll pay for the cure tomorrow!" Say Ara casually. Ara then reached out her hand to ask for the medicine that Azka was still holding.

" I don't have a lack of money. So you don't have to change the medicine I bought." Azka answered arrogantly while thrusting the medicine into Ara's hands.

" Yes, I know." Ara wrapped her eyes looking at Azka. Ara thought it was better to leave before Azka, than to continue listening to every arrogant sentence from the man's mouth.

" I'll go back first, brother. Thanks again for this." Ara smiled sweetly while shaking the medicine in front of Azka.

" Where are you going? But did you say you didn't have money? Keep on going home with what?" Tanya Azka streak. Azka knitted her brows as she looked at Ara.

" I'm walking. This is the deck." Answer Ara cuek. Ara then immediately turned around leaving Azka.

" Eh...wait!" Azka held Ara's arm from leaving. "Lo want refreshing? I think that traveling can also be done! Than Lo at home. Do you want to?"

Azka could guess that Ara was having a problem right now. But Azka did not dare to ask and meddled in the affairs of the girl. Azka would wait until Ara told Azka her own problem. So Azka prefers to cheer up the girl, so that her mood returns to good and can be cheerful as usual.

" Hmm..can deh!" After thinking for a while, Ara finally agreed to Azka's offer. Ara wished she could forget for a moment about the happenings at home today. Ara just wants to regain her calm, before returning to face the reality of life that is not in accordance with her expectations.

" Yipp!" Azka smiled happily because Ara did not reject her offer. Azka then promised in her heart, it would make Ara happy so that the girl would not remember any more of the sadness she was experiencing today.

Ara and Azka finally got on the motor sport and left the pharmacy. Azka will take Ara around Jakarta today. Azka hoped her relationship with Ara would become closer. So Azka had a chance to make Ara her lover. 'Azka Lo can definitely!!' azka said in her heart to encourage herself. Azka then smiles happily behind her full face helmet and then runs the sport bike at medium speed towards their destination.
