It's been a week Rio's been like a madman. His appearance that he had once noticed. Now it's like people aren't being taken care of. The contents of his head are chaotic, he does not want to live.
After Ara's departure who went nowhere. Rio turned one hundred and eighty degrees. Even worse when in stay by Angel first. Angel has been with her for longer, with Ara not even a year. But it felt like his whole soul was gone. She felt lost, maybe it would be better for Ara at her mother-in-law's house or where Rio knew where Ara lived. Rio just might not look as sane as he is right now.
The problem is that Ara just disappeared. Even everyone who had known and was close to Ara he had already asked. Not spared the students on campus, so Tasya and Gilang must be the first people Rio came to.
"You know where Ara's going?" tanya Rio approached towards Tasya and Gilang who were sitting around in the park.
The arrival of Rio made Tasya and Gilang look up at Rio in wonder. Suddenly came, without further ado directly questioning Ara where.
Clearly Tasya herself to the point of frowning when Rio asked.
The two looked at each other. "Yes, yes, from last night there was no news from Ara. I sent him a chat yet he bales until now," said Tasya wonder who just realized Ara today where without news.
Tasya looked at Gilang, Rio was the same. Who knows Gilang knows, because Tasya himself would not ask if Rio did not question Ara's whereabouts.
Gilang who knows where Ara lives, he does not seem to want to answer. Because Ara asked not to tell anyone where she is now. The reason is to clear your mind first.
"Lo know what? Even diem bae," Tasya nudged Gilang's arm which just stared blankly in the other direction.
"Gue doesn't know where Ara is," said Gilang.
Rio was aware of Gilang's movements that were like there was something he was covering up. Even before Ara left the house, the last person Ara met was Gilang. Rio's getting suspicious, surely Gilang knows where Ara is now.
Rio approached towards Gilang and directly pulled the collar of Gilang shirt to make Gilang forced to stand up. "Lo, you know where Ara is!"
Rio's patience just disappeared. Moreover, all this time he held back his jealousy if Gilang was close to Ara. Rio doesn't like the woman being touched by Gilang. Rio's eyes barked, his hands growing tight.
"Eh, what the hell is that? Kok even in a fight," Tasya tried to break their tension.
Gilang who was stared fiercely, he was more staring fiercely. Both of his hands were clutching Rio's two hands that were holding firmly the collar of his shirt.
"If I knew, what would be the problem?! Huh!!" galang Sentak.
Rio's patience that had been exhausted, became a rage. His grasp grew stronger, both of them staring intently at each other.
"All I know, Ara never hooked on Lo. Then why are you now like a familiar Ara," said Gilang increasingly make the grip of Rio's hand increasingly tightened.
"Udah, already, why fight anyway. Who knows, Ara is not feeling well at home, so she did not enter the campus. Here's how in the storm," Tasya still tried to separate them.
Gilang grinned. "Ara was not at home he lived first," he said mocking.
"Huh, what!" Tasya who just wanted to call Ara he paused after hearing Gilang's words.
"Means you know where Ara is, tell me where Ara is?" snapped Rio.
Gilang laughed, then stared intently at Rio. "Till any time I won't tell you."
Without further warning, a raw bogem landed on Gilang's left cheek until Gilang fell down.
Gilang smiled grinning, he rubbed the corner of his lips that felt pain. The tip of his thumb was fresh blood.
"Lo don't papa Lang?" tanya Tasya was worried, Gilang just shook his head and immediately Tasya helped Gilang stand up.
"Gue persenatin yes, do not be as close as Ara again. If I see you go the same way Ara, I'll finish you, you know!!"
"What the hell? You are not sane. Where come nanya Ara, whereas you are the same Ara not deket. Continue to use non-jok people carelessly, now even ngancem is not clear. Crazy you yes!!" sergeant Tasya while pushing Rio's body.
Rio came closer, with a cold look. "He is crazy, insane, and has no shame in taking people's property. You don't know who Ara is, so you're saying."
Tasya was astonished, strange why Rio's attitude is like a person in the fog looking for Ara. What is clear is that today Ara did not enter after she left for her parents' house in Bandung.
Rio was about to leave. "Lo is who, saying that Ara is definitely no one lo. Everyone here knows that you and Ara are not close to each other. Let alone near, know not. Sok, ngorging people without any clarity, sane lo!" silang.
His blood was like boiling right now, his hands clenched tightly then turned around. Everyone around who had seen the commotion between the three of them whispered to each other. Since they knew, Rio was famous for the anti-woman who approached him. Clearly feeling strange, it suddenly came and spoke as if Ara was his.
"I think he is a cadaver" whispered one of them.
"It's funny, the anti-woman guy suddenly scolded people not clear even ngancem not clear," said those who whispered to each other and stared cynically at Rio.
"Don't let him be abnormal, so let's cover up the cover up so that it's not clear, '" they laughed.
Rio who still heard their whispers. He's getting on the black. Gilang and Tasya who also heard their jeers laughed at each other.
"Gue her husband Ara. We've been married almost a year, satisfied you!" he said with a cold expression while staring at Gilang.
Those who heard him fell silent all including Gilang and Tasya. Digesting Rio's words just now. Who had been whispering to each other, was now silent without anyone to speak.
I don't know where the intention came from Rio honestly. Rio revealed his own relationship with Ara which he was obviously initially about for Ara to be cautious while in public. Rio did not want this relationship to be publicized to the people they knew especially his friends.
In Rio's heart there is relief that has been a burden that he continues to carry to cover his marriage and for the sake of not knowing that he has been married to the girl of his parents' choice. Even they have been betrothed as they are in the womb. Silly, but this is the truth.
It was time for everyone to know about his relationship with Ara. Relationships that are more than just college friends, one major, even a pair of lovers. If they all knew, Rio and Ara would no longer need to cover up for each other. They will go both anywhere.
But before long they all laughed at the same time. Rio was jolted to find the attitude of everyone who laughed at his act of honesty. Including Tasya and Gilang who were no less laughing at him even harder than the others.
"It seems like a mental disorder. Could have shamelessly admitted that he was the same Ara married. It's funny" they said with a big laugh.
Rio's getting clueless. What he said has a point. It should have been Rio who had lied to them, instead they laughed at him like a fool themselves.
"Buktin dong, do not just digress," said from them.
Rio could not bear to hear their laughter which was like stripping him all out. He chose to leave those who were still laughing. He should have fooled them, not the other way around.
Rio will prove it after he meets Ara later. He will close, clothe their mouths with facts.
