RAQILLA
CHAP 46 - WORLD WORST DAY

"What's going on here?" qilla asked without covering up her surprise, because she thought no one would come to this place. However, it seems that the girl's guess was wrong. The proof at this moment, Arsen was before him.

Arsen passed away leaving Qilla without saying a word.

"Ehh non Qilla has arrived" said a middle-aged woman, who appears to be a nursing home mother.

"Call Qilla aja bu," said Qilla kindly, he felt bad when called like that. Yes, although, Qilla is a donor from the home, but still it does not mean he is an honorable person who deserves respect. Even though the fact is so.

"It's okay, it doesn't need to be discussed anymore. Please sit down first," said the mother of the house let Qilla sit.

"Have you come home from abroad?" ask the house's mother.

"Already ma'am, Qilla has business in Jakarta ma'am," said Qilla answered the middle-aged woman's question.

"That was a guy, who was Mom?" tanya Qilla, the man Qilla was referring to was Arsen.

"Ohh, his name is Arsen. His son was so kind, he did visit the parlour almost every day. Playing with children here, every come must always bring something whether it's food or toys," said the mother of the home smiling happily, it turns out there are still teenagers who have a heart as good as Arsen.

While Qilla who heard the story from the mother of the orphanage was surprised not to play, so all this time Arsen often visited this orphanage? almost every day? the man was rarely seen at school. It seems Qilla misjudged an Arsen, right the saying 'do not judge a person only from the outside' only'. Although Arsen looks fierce and naughty, it turns out he has a good heart.

"Mom wants to continue cooking for the children" said the mother of the home moved from her seat.

"Need help Qilla ma'am?" qilla asked the middle-aged woman.

"There is no need for children, there are already Cikha, Nurul and Yanti who help mothers," said the mother of the home refused subtly Qilla's offer. He did not want to trouble the girl. You need to know that Cikha, Nurul and Yanti are workers hired by Qilla to help the nursing home in taking care of all the needs of the home.

"Mom stay a while, son. There's a lake behind the parlour, you take a look there first" suggested the mother.

Qilla just nodded in understanding. After the mother of the parlour left, Qilla decided to go to the lake that the mother of the parlour had said.

Arriving at a lake that is not so broad but so beautiful that it makes Qilla unable to decide his view from the lake. Again and again, he saw a man who was staring in the direction of something. Qilla looked at the direction of the man's gaze and it turned out that the man was staring at his reflection from the lake.

"Lo what?" qilla asked Arsen, yes the man who had been staring at his own reflection was Arsen. I don't know what he's doing.

Arsen just lowered his head in not being interested in answering that question for the umpteenth time the girl asked him.

"Gue's sorry" said Qilla.

"Make?" arsen's baritone voice sounded.

"Gue had been mistaken for you all along," said Qilla looking at Arsen inside, she wanted to see what Arsen had been experiencing from behind the man's black eyes. Qilla was unable to find anything from those eyes, the one thing she could see was loneliness.

"Hm," said Arsen averted his gaze, the man seemed to be holding something out of his eyes.

"How's aunt?" tanya Qilla broke the silence, she wanted to know the condition of her best friend.

"My friend is dead, my father is married again," Arsen said staring right at Qilla's bead.

"Gue himself," continued Arsen then a drop of water flowed from the man's eye fertilizers. Right now, Arsen looks very weak. He would show his side only to Qilla, the girl he had loved for a long time, but he knew that he did not deserve to be compared to her.

Qilla extended her hand rubbing slowly the tears that were on Arsen's cheek, she could feel what Arsen was going through right now. Qilla was very sad to see the condition of her best friend.

"There I am," said Qilla smiling gently.

Arsen drew himself closer to the girl and hugged her tightly, shedding all the feelings he had been holding back.

"Gue was tired," said Arsen hugging Qilla tighter, he did not want to let go of the girl. Qilla is the only berth for Arsen.

Qilla rubbed Arsen's back, trying to calm the man down.

"Everything will be fine, Arsen" said Qilla, letting go of her arms and staring inside the man.

"You have me" said Qilla with a sweet smile.

"How can I not fall in love with a girl like you?" arsen said in his heart.

"PAGIII ALLAAA!" cella shouted greeting her friends while running small.

"Don't yell at me too, lebay," grumbled Raven.

"Heh thai sissy, diem deh lo" said Cella as she stuck out her tongue mocking the man.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" snapped Raven was annoyed to hear Cella's words.

"Dog boy," said Hazel, she was sick of hearing Raven and Cella quarrel every morning.

"Lu the hell," whispered Revan to Cella.

Brakes

Qilla slammed the book she was reading, then passed away leaving her friends. Hazel and Cella stare at each other wondering what happened to Qilla. They had never seen Qilla in this seal.

The little girl went to her favorite place, the basketball court. Right now, he only needed calmness to clear his mind. His head throbbed at the thought of the papah's words.

The Flashback

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

"Come in" said someone from behind the door.

Qilla stepped into the papah's office. Rarely did his papa call Qilla in person, usually the papa was more than happy to talk about something in the living room unless it was really urgent.

"Father Qilla's grill?" ask the girl.

"There are important things you need to talk about with you," said papah Qilla sigh long. Qilla was getting curious about what important thing she wanted to talk about. I hope it's not bad news.

"Grandma is critical" said papah Qilla.

Deg Deg Deg Deg

Time seemed to stop, Qilla's heart was pounding incoherently, cold sweat drenching her temples. The girl pensively tried to digest the 2 sentences thrown by the papah.

"Grandma cry-critical?" qilla asked to confirm, while the papah only nodded his head at the sign that this was indeed real. Qilla was convinced that his papa was currently devastated but the middle-aged man tried to cover it up.

"Will the same mom decide to return to Canada, you want to come or stay in Jakarta? papah accepts all your decisions" said papah Qilla, knowing that this was a very difficult decision for his daughter.

"Qilla's coming, '" replied the girl without a second thought, she should not be selfish. Although, this place has a lot of memories along with his friends. In this place as well, Qilla felt that her life was colored. However, there is no place more comfortable than family.

"You sure?" asked the papah to look at his son.

"The more the reward" said Qilla smiling gently, she did not want to make her papa worried.

"We leave the day after 10" said papah Qilla then moved from his seat and approached Qilla.

"Here's a hug papah," the middle-aged man spread his arms wide. The little girl also entered into the warm embrace of the papah.

Hiks Hiks Hiks

Qilla was no longer strong enough to hold back the tears that had wanted to fall from her eyes, she said, on one hand the person he cares most about is being critical and on the other he has to leave his friends. Both were valuable things to Qilla.

"Shhh was already a big cry," said the papah wipe tears that wet the beautiful face of Qilla.

Flashback Off

Two girls walked over to Qilla, "lo why?" ask Cella gently. Qilla ignored Cella's question, at the moment she was lazy to talk to. His mind is in a rage.

"Too asked it was answered," said Hazel annoyed to see Qilla silent since earlier like a living corpse.

"Go," said Qilla, he did not want to vent everything to his two friends.

"Lo why the hell?" hazel asked confusedly at Qilla's very strange attitude"

"Gue said go" said Qilla, turning her face away.

"Lo think I'm the same cella what? doang hah display," said Hazel venting all her frustration, all this time she had held back all that but she could not stand Qilla's attitude anymore.

"Lo never wanted to tell the same story as the two of us. You think with silence, all the problems will be solved?" continue Hazel.

"GUE IT'S LO'S BEST FRIEND'S DOG!" hazel snapped, while Cella just lowered her head in silence. He admitted that everything Hazel said was true.

Deg

"Lo know? all this time I'm the same Cella always waiting for you story the same we all problem lo, but what? you never thought we existed" said Hazel Lirih.

Qilla lowered her head justifying Hazel's words, not that she didn't want to tell the story but that Qilla didn't want to impose her problems on Hazel and Cella.

"There's no point in me coming here" said Hazel, staring at Qilla.

"Gue can't stand you, I'm tired," he continued, then left Qilla and Cella.

Cella approached Qilla and then rubbed her shoulders, "the same way Hazel loves you" said Cella and went after Hazel.

Qilla stared at Hazel and Cella's departure wryly, why did little by little trouble come upon her?
