The End of the Road
Chapter 16's

When did the

Time shows at ten o'clock in the night. Arin's house is deserted . Fian and his friends are home. Either really go home or stop by Arin doesn't care. Their habits have not changed. Ever since childhood, we have always been together. And Arin's house has always been their hangout. Don't know why. Maybe because Arin is a good child to be friends with or maybe because Arin's house there is a shady page even though it is not so wide .There are guava and rambutan trees. It might fit into a base, that's their term. Plus the mother who always provides food. Make it more comfortable of course. Or maybe because Arin is beautiful. Or maybe there is a reason for its own.And only those who know. They returned home after promising tomorrow afternoon to play in the river not far from their home, still within their village territory. He said he wanted to remember their childhood.

Arin has entered the room. After cleaning his body, he laid his body on his bed. Actually he was tired of not wanting to join the conversation earlier, but of course there was a bad feeling, when there were no guests accompanied, although in fact it was okay not accompanied. It is so usual .He joined the pulpit earlier to divert his mind from his agreement with Bara. At this time alone Arin always remembered his agreement with Bara . He remembers not withdrawing cash. Tomorrow I thought they were going to the hospital. Arin tried to close his eyes. But it's hard to sleep. Eyes closed but unable to sleep. Suddenly his phone shook." Who the night is still sending messages, must be Fian again." he thought . Turns right.

Fian: Assalamu'alaikum Arin.

Arin : Wa' alaikumsalam.what else . Has anyone missed?

Fian: Abaghfirullah Arin ..galak very same me.

Arin : Which is terrible it is.Kan only nanya, just now from here it has been wa aja.

Fian: It can't be yes ...

Arin: Ga ..gue wants to sleep

Fian: yes sorry yes disrupt🙏

Arin: Weeh tumben lo say sorry ..lagian sensi very si today, why ? again yes ...🤣🤣🤣

Fian : Where there is I upset ..ga there is yes in my dictionary .. I am upset ..not me so much.

Arin : I am not sure I . I am nothing. why do you usually like this ..ga .

Fian: Kangen

Arin : Hah.kangen ..kangen same who .. hayoo.

Fian: Not yet PDKT even failed

Arin : hahaha ..🤣🤣🤣

Fian : Fuck you .. ngledek. deh . sleep sono.

Arin : Lhaaa ..who starts the chat first...Don't want this true story...

Fian: Ga. .dah sleep sono.my dreamtin yes.

Arin : Sory yes ..mimpiin you can sawan I🤣🤣

Tian : Bye...

Arin : Diihh is really angry.

There's no answer anymore. Maybe Fian is really angry. Arin feels Fian is different today. Maybe he has a problem again. Usually, the story is also a story .He turned off his phone. There's pain in the chest. Fian already likes someone. " It may be time to give up. It's been a long wait, no progress. Fian still never liked me.." Arin's mind began to wander. He's been fond of Fian since sixth grade Elementary . Love monkey said. But until now it has not changed his perception on Fian Is still called the love of monkeys as well . I don't know. Arin is getting unable to sleep . The shadow of Bara and Fian flashed across his mind alternately. "Can I have the same feelings..Embers..What it looks like now, sure it's getting cooler .Weehhh thought what I was." Arin smiled to himself. There was a strange sense of slurping in the space of his heart. There was a loss in his soul. He was sleepy too .And finally Arin fell asleep too.

🌸🌸🌸

Bara until home at ten .Earlier from the house Arin stopped by to eat meatballs in front of the hospital. Talk to the meatballs first. Indeed, they have known for a long time, so eat it while chatting and do not feel that time continues to run .And it turns out that day has been very night. Arriving at Bara's house directly into the room because the house has been deserted . Papa and Mama Bara have entered the room . His brother Arkan has not returned . She had an event with her friends.Bara cleaned herself and changed her clothes.Bara put her body on the bed with both hands to make pads. He glared .His eyes looked up into the sky-sky room . There was a shadow of Arin there.There was an unbecoming feeling in his heart. He became pessimistic to see the incident at Arin's house. According to Bara's thinking, Arin must have had a girlfriend. But he can still hope. Arin is surrounded by so many guys, during a week of observation and a report from his friend who he asked to observe Arin, the facts prove that Arin never walked alone with any one guy. Yesterday Bara was still optimistic but seeing the incident at Arin's house, she felt a little insecure. Whether he who came suddenly could directly enter Arin's life." Did I miscalculate ya. I think Arin's a sweet home-grown kid. I don't know..I hope everything is as I expected Amiin." Still feeling worried. " Oh yeah, it all happened . And just wait for tomorrow, about the results let it be according to what God will." Thought Bara still not calm . He can't sleep . Replacing sleeping position." Why can I do all this. Akhhhh. What I should do tomorrow . Why am I not confident .akhhh. What happened to me." Unconscious Bara yelled loudly enough.

Tok.dok..cari.tok . I heard the door knocking from outside.

" Bara.lo why is ..kok yelling." It was Arkan who knocked on the door.

Of course Bara was shocked. As loud as it was, his screams were heard outside the room.

" Please open the door.gue wants to enter."

" Yes, yeah..." Bara got up from the fall and opened the door of his room. Arkan at the door .Arkan's hand almost hit his face in a position like he was about to knock .

" What is it . Just got home bang.. What time is it "Bara looks back at the clock in his room." Twelve o'clock it was yes.."

" I want to go in, don't get out the door."

" Tumben.there's what. I don't usually go in my room." Bara steps aside and lets Arkan into his room, curious about what Arkan will do in his room.

" Just want to see your room. I wonder why you screamed earlier. The story here is the same as me. I can't believe it yelled because there was a cockroach. Since when do you fear cockroaches. The reason it makes no sense.. " Arkan was still muddy because he was sure that something was going on with his sister .

" Apaan si lo..kepo really dah, since when my brother sekepo this.." Bara smiled cynically at Arkan. Trying to evade, avoiding Arkan's question.

" You can't hide anything from me. I'm brother lo.... I know your habits. Don't ngaku either.real ni ngaku too." Arkan approached Bara and began to tickle Bara's waist.

"Abang ..ampun.hahaha.. brother.ga funny .. already ..hahaha.geli brother already.sorry."

"Neither ga ..ngaku ga.. hahaha..." Arkan just kept tickling Bara's waist. Bara had cried out for mercy, but Arkan did not stop tickling .

" What's this night-night. How noisy you two ..interrupt people just rest ..." Suddenly, my mother was at the door." You two say ..already tonight.see what time it is. huh.. it's big too..then it's in the neighbor's dread ."

Arkan stopped his movement, Bara bengong . They forgot it was midnight. They glanced at each other giving codes. And turns out.

" Ehh .ehh what are you. Arkan ..Bara .. hahaha.why even the mama who tickled.. Ahaha.." They both attacked Mama together.

"Here..already..mama surrender.hah..hah... tired..tired..." Finally they stopped tickling my mother. Mom can breathe. The three of them sat on Bara's bed.

" What's wrong ..kok has not slept, already tonight hm..Mama miss you guys. You two are all grown up. Will soon be married and leave mom."

Arkan and Bara simultaneously sleeping on mom's thigh. Like when they were little. Always with mom.

" It's not.we'll stay here. I also miss mama. Three years away from mom, from papa and also bang Arkan. It feels impossible to express. Happy coals can finally regroup." She got up and hugged her mother.

" Even though you're all grown up, but to your mama you still think you're still like a boy."

" Ackan loves mama.." Arkan hugged my mother too.

"There's this shit playing hugging. Papa wasn't invited by.." Papa was suddenly among them. Actually already from earlier papa was in front of the door.Papa hugged the three of them.

" Weh ..so rich Teletubbies .. cuddle.. hahaha..." Bara deliberately messed up the atmosphere that was a little melow. Because she saw that my mother had shed tears.

" Udah malem ..tidur yuk ma. All because of you guys, midnight noise. Just interrupt.Let's go back to the room."

" Come pa... You two also sleep at night . remember do not be noisy anymore. disturb people sleep ..ga nice same neighbor. Thought there was something about it tonight screaming."

" Yes mama .." replied Arkan and Bara simultaneously.

Mom and Dad went back to the room. Arkan is still in Bara's room. He was still curious .

" Beware if not the story.I wait tomorrow must be a story ..awas if until ga .."

" Dah sono went back to your own room. I'm already sleepy. Sono.sono.."

Bara pushes Arkan's body out of his room. Then close the door. Bara broke down. Evening I still want to sleep, I can't sleep. Still thinking of his agreement with Arin. It must be how he started the conversation with Arin. How did he approach Arin . Why when approaching the day H even his mind and heart are worried. All the plans he made were absurd. Stay tomorrow . How tomorrow . How yes. I don't know. Just wait for tomorrow.
