Rio and Ara

Rio and Ara
Episode 96's


"Where?" ask Gilang after they are in the parking area.


Ara looked around her. The stacks, four-story, female-only residents, and the important distance between Rio's house is not too far away.


Ara mangosteen; "Okay no problem, I take."


"If so, we go directly to the place where the owner made to see the contents in the boarding room." invite Gilang.


Ara nodded, and followed Gilang's path to the house of the hostess.


After looking at the state of the room, one room only had one bathroom in it. And there is already a single bed, a small wardrobe, a table, shelves, and a mini refrigerator in one room. Ara is quite interested, the price is okay for Ara's pocket.


"Where, I don't want to go. If you want to pay the down payment first, immediately hand over the key. I could move tonight too. Because the rest of the one is empty, the owner yesterday only two months back home." bargained the Mother of the hostess.


Without thinking, Ara immediately shook the hand of the mother named Idah Mother.


"I take it, I pay for three months now" Ara said without hesitation.


Idah's mother smiled happily, getting her hostel room no longer empty. After the paying business was over, and the key was already held by Ara. Gilang and Ara stopped by fast food.


Ara who wanted to return the favor of Gilang because today would bother looking for a place to stay for him. So Ara wanted to treat Gilang, it also happened that it was time for lunch.


"You sure want to eat here, not to the restaurant. My money is enough to fill your stomach, Lang." asked Ara after getting off the bike.


"Surely, my tongue again wants to eat fast food only." convinced Gilang.


"Oh yeah, don't fuck it up."


Gilang smiled as he ruffled Ara's hair and immediately ran a little inside.


"Say!" Ara Manyun found her hair messy because of Gilang's jailing.


From a distance, across the street. There was a pair of middle eagle eyes highlighting the motions of Ara and Gilang, namely Rio. His face was red, both of his hands were tightly in control of the steering.


Rio who was deliberately looking for Ara was the truth to see Ara with Gilang at a fast food restaurant. Rio was jealous to see the closeness of Gilang and Ara getting closer. Her hot heart saw Gilang treat Ara so sweetly.


Unable to hold on any longer, Rio spurred his car at high speed. I don't know where he's going with that messed up feeling.

"Damn!" rio's impending curse instantly kicked the table in front of Alex and Aris.


"Eh, calm down, boss. Come along very angry." said Aris trying to calm Rio who was burning by the flames of jealousy.


Alex who was surprised, now only smiled faintly to see Rio with a red face. Just this time she saw Rio like a big rage.


"Sit down, sit down, calm down." Aris calmed Rio who was in the midst of this fog. "Nih drink." Sodor Aris a glass of wine for Rio.


Rio stared intently at Aris when he saw the glass of wine given to him. Aris replied with a smile, then gave a gesture to let Rio drink it.


Rio is not a perfect man. He was a drinker but within reasonable limits. Aris gave her wine, Rio did not refuse. He drank a glass of wine and then drank it up.


Alex is Rio's best friend who has the type of sandpaper-ceplos, just staring cynically at Rio. While Aris is best friend but trapped as Rio's assistant. He is more careful in doing things or in speaking.


"Angel again?" alex tried to guess.


Alex seeing Rio like this is actually not the first time. But this time more than last. If the past must be Rio worried about his relationship with Angel who always has no smooth path.


"Gue denger-denger, Angel is here. What is the fate of Lo's wife? It must be a burden." said Alex.


Hearing the word 'wife', Rio stared intently at the relaxed Alex and made out with the two working women in the bar flanking him.


It was Rio who asked to meet them in an ordinary place, namely in a famous bar in Jakarta. Their place in High School. Incidentally, they rarely get together because of their respective activities.


Alex is different to Rio and Aris. They drink, sometimes smoke, but never use the services of women in bars. Alex is indeed struggling to change partners.


"Yes, Angel is here. But not because of him." Rio replied.


Alex looked at Rio who was still putting on a riled face. Alex's hand can not be silent, he likes to play with the curls of one of his women.


"My wife." answered Rio while pulling his hair in frustration.


They both looked astonished. What his wife did other than Angel made Rio feel so unsettled.


"Lho, Lo's wife why?" ask Alex to be more curious.


Rio's head seemed to want to break, he leaned back into the body of the sofa with his hands massaging his temple. Rio's been so stressed lately. The problem is branching, he is confused about which one to finish first.


"My wife.I asked for a divorce." Rio replied quietly with a tone of despair.


This is the second time this has happened. First one with Angel. When Angel asked to end their relationship because his father was transferred to Kalimantan. Rio refused, but Angel firmly wanted to end it because later their relationship is unclear because of the relationship at a distance. Rio can, but Angel can't.


Exactly the same as the present. Maybe the difference is Rio looks more confused what to do.


Alex and Aris looked at each other. Shocked, why Rio's love affair is not going smoothly. But, uh,


"Eh, it's not that you don't want to marry Ara. Good dong if he asks for divorce, elo do not have to bother telling old man elo or his parents. Clear is the problem." said Alex.


"But he asked me to divorce what he did."


Wrinkle Alex's forehead.


"Surprisingly, you are confused. Staying divorced, directly three talak." said Alex


"Yes, why is the boss so confused. There are us - we are confused. Problem where?" added Aris.


Rio exhaled a long breath, he closed both his eyes for a moment.


"The thing is I don't want to divorce her. But I'm confused about how."


There is obviously a sense of prestige to say no. He is not committed in his relationship with Ara or Angel. Everything is because of itself.


"Yes, just say.." Alex paused.


"Gue can't, I actually said I don't agree. But Ara who asked for an explanation." was blocked by Rio's words, her memory returned the day after.


"My fault at the beginning, I think because we decided to make a contract letter of our relationship, we will be one step better. In fact, Ara is growing the distance between us. He's 'much' me," lirih Rio regretted.


Alex is inexhaustible with Rio's superficial thoughts in a love affair. She was angry to hear it, especially Ara herself.


"Well, it's lost its mind." Alex's bellowed unexpectedly.


"He was angry because I didn't give him any clear certainty, between him and Angel. Now he's on the same path. I have to be, I'm confused." explained Rio.


"It hurts!" said Alex.


"Gue see Ara was the same way to the campus. I don't like it, I'm angry, I don't accept it. Why so many guys in this world, should he." siss Rio.


"Emang elo is sick. Everywhere the girl asked for certainty. Crazy, you love Ara, Rio. Why don't you use the stupid way, use the contract letter. That's elo man's wife isn't a thing or an item."


Rio looked down upon hearing a word that he was in love with Ara.


"Yes, I admit, I love, dear Ara. Stupidly I just realized yesterday. I think I just like it, like it for a moment. I didn't think my liking turned into love. Now I'm satisfied, my actions yesterday can not be sorry." said Rio sincerely.


His resentment and disappointment towards himself was so tearing apart.


"I think the boss's wife is in love. That's why he got mad when the boss made that letter. Any girl who wants her feelings to be played with. The boss seems to appreciate the love of his wife Boss especially if the Boss does not love the wife. Boss' wife has kindly given me a chance. Opportunity for the Boss to fix things before it's too late. Don't give up yet." said Aris.


"Betul said Aris, Ara seems to have been in love. Now love with Ara, yes what you have been waiting for again. And if you don't feel any connection with Angel, you better go far with her." Alex's message.


Rio was pensive after getting enlightenment from his two best friends.


"Ra, I think now I have to fight to fix everything." Rio's inner self believes in him.
