Rio and Ara
Episode 99's

Angel was aghast, his eyes were round. This was the first time Rio had spoken highly to her. Angel fell silent, taking a step back out of fear.

Rio stared intently at Angel. It was as if his blaring voice was not enough to rebuke him.

"Rio." I can't believe it.

Rio's hand gripped Angel's arm until Angel was slightly dragged forward. Rio's eyes were like an angry eagle, the glare of his eyes was sharp. Sounds like clashing teeth. Just this time Angel saw Rio was furious at her.

"Our relationship, I assume it's over since you ended it! Now please don't assume our relationship can still be what it used to be! Our relationship is now just a friend no more!" rio was full of anger.

"Aw! But Rio's sick, can't you?" angel Narrates.

Rio took off his grip from Angel's arm.

Angel rubbed the former grip of Rio earlier, left behind a sense of pain and numbness. Angel shock gets Rio's harsh treatment on her for no reason.

"But I don't understand why you're so angry with me. It was my fault where it was. Okay, I admit first I want us to break up. But when I come back, you ask to continue. But what, instead of you leaving without news. You stay away, avoid. Relationships that you ask for, but even you are in vain without clarity. Why are you the one who is angry now, I should be the one who is angry here!!" jolt Angel did not want to lose, his tone raised.

"Oh, should you be the one who is angry? I hope you realize what you're saying right now. The point is that our relationship is nothing else, it's all the past. Now that we walk each other, this is the last meeting we met. If even outside we do not accidentally meet, just assume we do not know each other. I just hope we don't meet." Rio explained with fiery eyes

Angel was shocked to hear it. This time he could not help feeling sad, hurt, disappointed, angry, not accepting Rio's treatment of her.

"Who exactly is she? Why are you so overreacting with Ara, even though Ara is your distant cousin. Why do you feel like you have a taste for Ara?" the question came out of Angel's mouth.

Rio who was about to leave Angel just like that. His feet suddenly couldn't move. His two hands clenched firmly, his face completely tangled now. This is the payoff of hurting two women at once.

Angel looked pushyly at Rio who was turning her back with both of her cheeks wet with her tears continuously dripping down.

There was a feeling of tightness in Rio's chest, there was something he had to sort out. Who had been standing without flinching, Rio turned his body to look at Angel seriously.

Rio took a deep breath. "Ara's not really my distant cousin."

Angel's eyes are round. He didn't want an answer like this. Hoping that Rio indeed had limited feelings to keeping Ara as a cousin for staying with him. But Rio's words just now were like a slap to him.

"You mean?" angel asked curiously.

"He's my wife, my parents' chosen wife. From childhood we are already in a match," explained Rio.

Angel's body staggered, almost falling. But, his hands quickly held his body to the trellis of the stairs. This time was really unexpected, all this time he was being cheated out by Rio. His heart was sliced, almost even pierced.

"I'm sorry I lied all this time, the reason I lied is that I could cover this up. I wish I could be with you, but I'm not. The same wound is still here, and now I love Ara, my wife. This time I'm willing to let you go as you please, because now I don't care about my wounds that you give even I don't care about you here," rio said then left Angel who was now sitting on the floor crying so badly.

Rio left with his car to go somewhere leaving poor Angel in his own house. His mind was in turmoil, what he was now doing was looking for where Ara was. Tonight I have to see where Ara is.

At different times, Ara was already at the door of her rental room. His face was wrinkled, his eyes were so full after crying. He opened the doorknob, then pulled the suitcase he had brought in. Then close the door and lock it.

He put his suitcase and bag in the corner of the room. Then sit on the edge of the mattress, while staring around his room that is not as spacious as his room in the mother's house, even his room in the mother's house is less spacious than the room he used to live in Rio's house.

Rio again, for some reason now the figure of Rio shadowing himself when this morning met at the side of an argument. Ara let out a long sigh, she immediately threw herself into a mattress that was not as thick as the mattress she had slept on.

The distance from Rio home to where Ara's rented room is not too far away. Fifteen minutes have arrived. But his body felt tired, his strength drained. But he did not do anything heavy that made him tired.

Tired is not physical. Tired because his mental continues to be tested. His mind was raging indistinctly in the head. Ara now just wants to sleep, at least sleep can forget the problem even if only for a moment.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, a strong wind whizzed into Ara's room. Thin curtains on the window waving due to strong winds.

Ara found a room that was on the second floor and exactly the end. Because at the end, the window of Ara's room that leads outside faces the entrance gate. Only the very end of the room had more than one window other than in front of the entrance.

Ara woke up, a strong wind accompanied by thunder boomed. Ara hurriedly closed the window that had been opened by the wind. Out there, the sky of Jakarta is covered in gray clouds. Drizzle slowly flushed in accompanied by lightning.

"It will be raining heavily," said Ara staring out the window that had begun to drizzle.

THE DUAR!!

Ara was aghast in shock, the reflexes he climbed onto the mattress and covered his entire body with a thick blanket. Her body trembled, Ara hugged herself tightly while closing her eyes tightly. He hates lightning the most from a small, it scares him immensely.

Lightning rubs against each other outside. Ara was getting scared, his hands were not enough as a silencer of the sound of thunder that continuously enlivened the universe.

Suddenly outside turned dark as the gray clouds became blackened. There was a flash entering from the ventilation gap of Ara's room. Before long the thunderous sound of a loud explosion to deafen Ara's ears.

At the same time Ara shouted loudly while covering her ears using both hands. His eyes were tightly closed.

Rio who has for hours circled the city of Jakarta to look for Ara. He doesn't know where to look. To the house of Mamah Fani he had visited, but there was no Ara. Even Rio called Qia to ask if her brother was there. Qia was the same, he did not say that his brother was not there.

Rio was getting more and more riled up, it had been an hour he stopped by the side of the road to pull over due to the rain. Thunder continued to still mutter with each other, Rio was worried he remembered how much Ara was so scared by the sound of thunder. Such circumstances must have scared him very much. There should be a self that calms Ara down in a moment of fear. But now Rio did not know where Ara was. He regretted his actions and behavior after Ara had actually gone somewhere.
