Late in the evening, Ara and Satria's parents were still at home waiting for their son and daughter-in-law to come home.

" Where are they?. Why haven't you come home at this time" Devina said

" Yes soon enough magrib time" Lisa chimed in.

" They are adults, Papa is sure Satria can take care of Ara" Bambang said

" I agree, maybe I'll be home soon. After all, when else can we be this relaxed. Yes" said Heru Dianggukin Bambang.

" Try calling Satria Yah, Ara is still in the brewing stage" Lisa said worriedly

" all right"

Heru pulled out his cell phone and contacted Satria.

"Assalamualikum Pa"

" Waalaikumussalam, where are you? What time is it? Hurry home!"

"Yes Pah. It's again in the apartment parking lot. Just a little while to get on the elevator." Answer the origin of Satria.

"Ehmz fast" Heru instantly turned off his phone connection.

Everyone was waiting for Heru to talk about the whereabouts of their son. But Heru was silent, Actually he was embarrassed because he held his son with a question that made him not dwell after hearing the answer.

"Where are they?" Ask Lisa who is impatient

" They'll be here soon" answered Heru

"Where have they been?" Ask Devina

Heru did not have time to answer the open apartment door and the young couple they were worried about appeared. Devina Lanhsung approaches her daughter-in-law.

"Where have you been?. I just got home at this hour. Do you know you.." Devina's words were cut off because of Ara.

Ara immediately hugged her Mama when she heard her Mama would nag long . Devina felt astonished by the behavior of her son who immediately embraced her. Not only Devina, but all of them were there except Satria.

"What's this, are they fighting?" Inner Devina

Devina then looked at her daughter-in-law. Satria who was stared questionably by her in-laws just smiled.

" You guys are.." Once again Devina's speech was cut off by Ara.

"We didn't fight Ma. We're doing just fine. Ara just wanted to hug Mama" Ara said

Devina directly hugged Ara tightly. Then he took Ara to sit on a sofa.

"Are you guys having fun?" Ask Lisa

" Yes certainly Ma'am" answered Ara's spirit "The view is very beautiful. Next time Ara wants to see the stunning sunset view" he continued.

Then Ara told her about her journey with Satria. Ara was so enthusiastic and looked happy while telling stories. Everyone was happy to see the happiness that emanated on Ara's face.

"Ara it's time you told me about the events before" Bambang said seriously.

Suddenly silent, no one let out the slightest sound. Satria and Ara sighed listening to the wishes of the elders. Finally, Ara was willing to tell a story.

" All right" replied Ara quietly

The Flash Back On

"Our brother ends up here"

Ara was surprised, she shook her head

"You lied. It's a joke, right?"

" No Ara I mean it"

" But why, all this time we've been okay. Did I have anything wrong?"

"Sorry Ara. Forgive Me, You are innocent I am the one who is guilty" He replied, he turned his gaze to the other, avoiding eye contact with Ara.

" What do you mean?" Ask Ara curiously.

" I like other people Ara" he answered and looked at Ara so they stared at each other.

Ara kept looking at him looking for honesty in the eyes of her boyfriend. And all Ara got was a look full of confidence. Ara held onto her chest, the pain that she was feeling right now. Disappointed and in disbelief. Her tears are no longer broken. He stared silently as he stared intently at the man he loved in front of him.

" Ara" Haris said

His hand was stretched out intending to wipe away Ara's tears. But Ara's hand brushed it off. With tears Ara said what she felt

" You!" Show it to Haris

" I'm disappointed, very disappointed!. You betrayed my trust!. I will never forgive you. You'll never be happy with her!". Ara said and left Haris stunned to hear Ara's words.

A few days passed after that incident. Ara didn't say much as she used to, but she pretended nothing had happened.

"Hi" Susan's clap made her wake up from the daydream. " Had it. There are still many men who like you for who you are" Ara smiled

" Where is there a man who likes me sincerely. Look at my face, rich in earth and sky when compared to lo" said Ara mutely

"Yes, that's right too! Hahaha" Susan's laughter broke

"Eh basic friends of the ungodly. It's not comforting, it's cheating!". Ara said annoyedly

" Haha. I am entertaining even not mempan, mending diledek just so do not think of Haris" said Susan

Ting..

Susan took her phone and saw who was texting her. She smiled happily to see someone she liked sending her a message and it did not go unnoticed. Ara smiled to see her best friend happy.

" Seneng actually got a message from someone" Ara said mockingly

" Apaan anyway. I'll go first, Bye" Susan said and left Ara

Ara was back pensively thinking of someone who made her very sick. Pain that he had never felt before. The first love that ends in a wound. After a while there was a message from Ara's best friend, Susan

My best friend

Ra wants to see my new boyfriend, not here on the roof of the back building.

Without replying to Susan's message, Ara headed straight for the roof of the back building of the school. Arriving there, Ara did not see anyone on the roof of the building. He went around glancing there and here.

"Where is he, he says he wants to know his new girlfriend. Basic !"

Ara turned around, she went back down the stairs. But only a few steps a message came in and Ara immediately read it.

My best friend

When you get there, look down. Back garden of school.

Ara sighed in annoyance. Ara ruffled her waist and looked up.

" basic. Does he know me. Look out if you know me!"

Ara stepped up the stairs then towards the back garden of the school. Once there he saw Susan making out with a male student. The man's face did not appear to have blocked Susan's head.

" The base doesn't know the place!. I have been dating for a year ma Haris has never been rich!. Who is that man?."

Ara continued to watch closely the man who was making out with Susan. Something caught his attention, he noticed it and Ara's eyes immediately rounded perfectly. He covered his mouth with his hands. Eyes glazed.

" It's the bracelet Haris used to wear!. Can't be!. They can't possibly betray me" Sissed Ara

He patted his chest which was painful and tight. Her breathing felt heavy, Ara's tears unstoppable again. Especially when Susan and Haris let go of the levy. His body felt weak and trembling. He sat down and covered his face and cried.
