Rapa & Cleona: Keeping the Heart
37. Bickering

“Cle, there's a lo nyari,” said one of Cleona's classmates who had just returned from the outside.

“Rapa?” cleona asked just to make sure, because usually only the man who came looking other than his friends.

“Not, but the second guy lo,” replied that made Cleona frown, thinking about who she meant.

“Ye, even dumb. That's Kak Alvin waiting for you outside,” his anxiety, give one tease on Cleona's forehead.

“O, Brother Alvin. Say dong from earlier, I guess which guy,” said Cleona while rising from her seat.

“Everything has a guy not much, so confused yourself will eventually. Love me one, maybe a time,"

Turning a lazy eyeball, Cleona chose to approach Alvin instead of continuing to serve his classmate.

The welcome in the form of Cleona's sweet smile, making her eyes teary. Not because happy or moved, but a sudden sense of sadness rose to the surface, and it wanted to be immediately overflowing.

“Don't cry here. Yuk, find somewhere else.” Take Alvin to Cleona's hand, and take the girl away.

Cleona, who was led, walked a step behind Alvin. His head continued to bow, not wanting anyone to see his slowly hatching tears. There was no conversation at all until Alvin finally asked Cleona to sit on a wooden chair under the shade tree of the back garden.

“The story is as clear as I am!” sue Alvin who is currently standing in front of Cleona with his chest crossed.

“Don't be a crybaby, Cle! As long as I've known you, I've never seen you this weak. Where was Cleona who always dared to slaughter her enemies? Where was Cleona who always fought for her love, and where was Cleona who always protected hers? Why is it so weak now like this?”

Cleona did not answer all the questions that Alvin presented, because obviously it could not be answered, he himself did not know where it went, he said, because what he recently knew was just a tightness and pain in his heart.

Alvin scrambled his hair in frustration, looking at the woman in front of him who kept crying sob like this. For the first time Alvin saw Cleona crying, and it was enough to make his heart seem sliced, the pain that the girl felt as if she was coming along too. Indeed last night he called the girl, asking for news that he had not heard long enough.

But once the connection is lifted, the sobbing sound is what he first heard, until the story of Cleona flows. And that's why it came today. Didn't expect that the cry would actually Alvin hear and see directly.

Sitting beside Cleona, Alvin stretched out his hand, carrying the girl's head leaning against his shoulder. “Nangis as much as you are today, Cle. After that you have to smile again," said Alvin patting softly on the head of the girl who he already considers like his own sister.

“Gue what to do, Brother?”

“Lo..”

“Job!”

Bugh…

Bugh…

Alvin was really surprised when someone pulled his collar and instantly two consecutive blows received his handsome face.

With unprepared circumstances of course make it fall what else after one hit back to attack him.

“Stop, Rapa!”

“Today I believe in the same lo, Vin. All this time I had no problem lo near my girl, but ... what did I see just now? Goddamn bum! How dare you hug my girl!”

“Rapa, please stop, don't hit Kak Alvin again, Rapa!”

Rapa who seemed really emotional did not listen to Cleona's cry at all, the man actually pulled back and threw a fist at the face and the jaw of the man in front of him.

Alvin himself this time not only silent, every blow Rapa gave, he returned and it made the cry also Cleona firmer.

With a tearful cry, Cleona tried to separate the two men who were currently fighting. Of course he could not let this continue, because however his lover misunderstood. Alvin wasn't supposed to take a hit from Rapa.

“So you believe her Queen? Lo protect him, huh?!" jolt Rapa while pointing at Alvin who was behind Cleona.

“Queen don't believe him, Bang! This is all sa...”

“Lo want to say what I saw just now was a misunderstanding? Stale to know no! And I didn't expect you to cry like this to bear him!” Rapa shook her head in disbelief, then left before Cleona launched a defense.

Seeing the departure of her lover, Cleona just silently stared at the long steps of the lover who left without wanting to hear his explanation.

“Why don't you pursue?”

“For what? He won't believe it either, Brother.”

Cleona sat back in her chair and covered her face with both palms, then came back crying. He never thought it would be like this. The initial intention is only to vent, even to culminate with a battle of tons which resulted in a misunderstanding.

Recalling the quarrel just now, Cleona immediately turned to Alvin who was sitting next to her, quite surprised to see that there was a drop of blood at the corner of the man's lips. Grimacing, Cleona extended her hand towards the bruised wound on Alvin's handsome face.

“Sshh...” ringis Alvin slowly. But still Cleona heard.

“Sorry, because of me, lo..."

“No need to apologize, Cle, I'm fine." Alvin smiled slightly, to reassure the girl in front of him.

“Yuk, to UKS let me first cure lo,”

“No need, later also heal by yourself.”

“Can't do it, Brother! However, your wound must be treated, so as not to infection.” The annoyed Cleona who instantly pulled the man up, and stepped towards the infirmary.

In the middle of the journey, Cleona suddenly stopped her steps as soon as she saw Clara walking towards her with an angry look that she could clearly see. He knew enough, that maybe his best friend had seen Rapa's condition, but …

Plaque…

… Cleona never thought that Clara, her best friend since a baby could throw a slap in front of a lot of people. Not the shame she felt at this time, but the pain in her heart that increased, because for the first time Clara was angry and acted without first asking the truth.

“Gue didn't expect you to be like this, Queen. Hurt my sister who has been so great to love you. I did not expect because easily Bang Rapa was eliminated just because of a guy you just knew!” Clara shook her head inexhaustibly, while Cleona herself just lowered her head, hiding her tears.

“This is all not wrong Cleona ..”

“Yes, because the wrong one is lo! Lo suddenly present and destroy my brother's happiness!” jolt Clara hard.

Everyone in the corridor stared curiously, even grinding the three of them with whispers that sounded simple to each other, adding to the pain Cleona felt.

“Lo ..”

“Udah sis,” prevent Cleona, shaking her head looking at Alvin with a pleading gaze.

“Gue apologized, Tu,” Cleona said before finally leaving, breaking through the crowd.

“Hopefully regret not lo and brother lo feel, Cla.” Alvin said right in front of Clara's face that still looks angry, before then following Cleona.
