A month has passed, since Fian's departure to Surabaya. Even Arin was unaware of Fian's departure. Arin only felt Fian did not want to disturb his busyness. Arin told Fian. Arin never thought Fian would go far. Arin just thinks Fian has the same activity. Because he is on the same level.
Arin is preoccupied with the work and also the preparation of the script. He had no time to relax. All the goals should be achieved this year. Even Arin had no time to think about his feelings.
Arin just wanted to focus on the early stages of drafting his script. After it was finished only he could breathe a little relieved. Why just a little? Because it's not all done yet. There is still a next stage.
Even the problem with Bara was forgotten just like that. Bara repeatedly wants to meet him, but Arin always refuses for fear of not being able to keep up. He does not have the least amount of free time. Instead of already promised, minglingan Directly said if it could not. Arin did not want to give false hope.
Today is saturday. Arin works only until noon. After returning home from work he had promised to eat meatballs where they used to gather. This is because it has been a month also Arin can not meet with his friends. The time is completely up for work and to campus. He always sleeps late and wakes up early. All of his activities this month completely took up his time.
Ocha and Wawan protested because they were always ignored. Even Arin did not have time to contact Fian either. Fian also disappeared like being swallowed by the earth. Usually Arin can still meet or just see in the morning when coming home from work. Of course Arin was astonished as well. And today this Saturday Arin wants to finish all his affairs with his friends. Including looking for Fian as well.
Arin went to work as usual. Exit the house at seven. He always runs his vehicle at moderate speed. Just out of his yard, Arin saw Andra's motorbike in front. Arin was chasing the bike. He wanted to know the news of Fian because it had been a month since he had not seen the trunk of his nose at all.
It seems Andra realized that. Andra immediately launched his motorbike. Andra did not have the courage to meet Arin. Andra didn't dare to tell me what really happened.
Arin actually tried to call Fian's phone number
But the number is inactive. And the WhatsApp message is still tick one. That's a sign that the number is inactive. Arin had asked Nando and Nando's answer was the same as the one he had experienced. Fian's phone number is off.
So it was fitting to see Andra, Arin intended to ask all that. Want to find clarity about Fian news. Where is Fian now? How's things going? Is Fian okay?
Arin certainly misses Fian very much.Of course Arin wants to know what happened with Fian.
Andra runs the bike so fast. Arin lost track. Eventually Arin gave up because he had to work. If not, he will pursue it until he can. Arin really wants to know. Arin really misses Fian.

Bara is impatient. It's been a month Arin's been avoiding her. But Bara is not desperate. Before there's a curved yellow janur he'll keep trying. Still waiting for the right time to move forward.
I asked Bima. And Arin is really busy. Work and preparation of the thesis of course it takes Arin time. But when is Arin busy? If it can Bara must find a gap and the right time to meet Arin.
He's already impatient. His feelings deepened for Arin. She misses Arin. Within a month Bara could only look at Arin from afar. Going home at night in a state that looks very tired. Of course Bara did not have the heart to interfere with Arin's time.
But today Bara was determined to meet Arin. It's Sunday night. Arin didn't go to college. Bara's going to Arin's house. He has to express his feelings. He no longer wanted to postpone it. He did not think about the outcome. At least he tried. He had to tell Arin what his heart was.
The twilight has arrived. I've been bathing. He's neatly ready. The plan after the Maghrib prayer he will leave for the house of Arin. until the house of Arin pas adzan isya. He could stop by the nearest mosque. And the estimated time is right. Until Arin's house after Isya.
Arin must have been free. He's definitely not going anywhere. Because Setau Bara, indeed Arin never went out of the house other than if there is a need.
Bara is ready to go. His resolve is round. Today he has to open it all.
The motor runs at medium speed. The time has been he calculated carefully.He deliberately uses his motorbike. Let the journey go smoothly. Can easily find a way if it turns out traffic is jammed. The capital never gets stuck. For anticipation too.
Not to forget Bara bought a red rose. Flowers symbolize love people say. Either true or not. But it does look very beautiful.
Bara arrives at Arin's house as expected. Arin's house looks deserted. But Bara kept going. He believes Arin is home. I knocked on the door of the house.
Geck...Tok.dok.
"Assalamu'alaikum's chat.."
Soon the door of the house opened. Rama appears in neat clothes.
"Wa'alaikumsalam warohmah matulli wabarakatuh.."
Rama opened the door. He smiled looking at Bara who was dressed casually yet very neatly. Bara's hand was behind his body.
"Eh Bang Bara's. Enter bang.."
Rama invited Bara in. I entered with an ungodly feeling. He's a little nervous.
"Ram Night.. You're very neat Ram. Want to travel?"
"Yes bang.. Ordinary sunday night. There's a promise with friends."
"Oh.. I thought I was gonna say something."
"You want apples. My boyfriend doesn't have one."
"Hm .. time anyway. You're a good-looking Ram."
"Haha.. Brother could have. Rama is a child. Rama has to go to school. Rama hasn't thought about that bang."
"Good indeed.. Focus on school first."
"Yes bang is right. Later when you've been working new looking for a girlfriend."
"Not have to work first. If someone has attracted me why not. Just don't interrupt your school."
"Get's bang, Rama hasn't thought about it."
"Good indeed.. Uh by the way your brother is there."
"Eh .. sorry bang. Must be looking for Arin's sister. It's in the room. Rama call. Just a minute."
"Yes Ram."
Rama went inside to call Arin. Bara's chest is getting thumping. Bara was feeling a little tense. He himself was astonished. Why is this senervous. Even though the thesis exam alone he was so calm.
The heart's business must feel different. Pulsating head. Chest thumping. Eating is bad. Sleep is not good.
Soon we heard footsteps approaching. The bar increasingly felt thumping.
"Eh. there's a guest. It's been a long time, son of Bara."
Bara was surprised to hear the mother's greeting. Sure oes. She was busy calming her heart.
"Eh. Mommy. Yes, bun, just now. How's Mother doing?"
I got up and shook my hand. He thinks Arin turned up.
"Alhamdulillah. You yourself how's it going. long time never met."
"Alhamdulillah. Sorry mom, a little busy at the hospital. Many new patients need treatment."
"Alhamdulillah, it should be fine. If the doctor is sick. What about the patient."
"Hehehe. There are many doctors in Indonesia. Choose which hospital."
"Metuls too, but a doctor must also take care of himself. Don't just be able to advise."
"Yes bund."
" This is Arin where the hell, Kok lama, he said just want to pray Isya. Just a minute, Bara. Mother call first. At the drink first. Sorry I can only offer this "
"Thank you mother. It's more than enough."
Mother got up from her seat. But at the door Arin was already seen walking towards the living room in neat clothes.
"That's him the man is neat. Where are you going."
"Ehh.."
I looked towards Arin coming. Arin looks so unsightly just by wearing blue jeans and white shirts and jeans jackets.
"We're out for a minute, Bund. It's okay, right. Not long, is it Aa?"
Of course Bara was surprised. He didn't take Arin anywhere. But why did Arin say that he wanted to go out. But Bara just followed Arin's scenario.
"Yes, I'm sorry I wanted to take Arin out for a while. What's allowed."
Mother looked at the two young people with a big smile. Mother must support them of course.
"Okay mom, we'll take care of it."
Arin's out of the house. He's approaching the motor bara. Waiting for Bara who was saying goodbye to the mother.
"Where are we going now."
Ask Bara Suits close to Arin.
"Eh. sorry Aa. Arin invites Aa to leave without compromise first. It's okay."
"Of course not. Where we going now. I'll come with you."
"To the night market aja yuk Aa.. Arin wants to tell me something."
"Let's who's afraid. Come aboard. We're leaving soon. Let's not go home tonight. Wait a minute, this is for you."
Bara handed him a rose which he had brought.
"Eh. This is what Aa. Wear all flowers."
"Let others accept it or not."
"Alright Arin accept. Thank you Aa."
Arin smelled the roses. He remembered Fian. If Fian usually carries a branch of a weed flower. Suddenly Arin became sad.
"Kok is daydreaming. Let's go up."
Arin surprised. He looked at Bara.
"Thank you Aa."
"How many times have you said thank you. One more time get a glass."
"A could have been. Come on A way."
"Ready princess."
Arin slapped Bara's back slowly. Bara just chuckled. He felt everything was going to go well.
He slowly drove his motor. He wants to enjoy a moment like this. It becomes an unforgettable memory. A story of grandchildren can be made later.
The night market is not far away. It was only taken in fifteen minutes. And it feels so fast for Bara. He still wants to drive alone with Arin. There's gotta be another time. This is just the beginning.
Finally they arrived at the night market. They are looking for a parking spot. Arin looked around. Very many visitors.
"Arin we ride the bianglala yuk. It's great to see the city from above."
Arin looked towards the bianglala vehicle. He's afraid of heights. He can and dare. No sweat was already out on his forehead.
"aa.. Arin is afraid of heights. But Arin is also a fan."
"Not to be afraid. There will be me here. How dare not?"
"How is it.." Arin thought for a moment. His desire is so great. But he's scared. His hands were soaked with sweat.
"What if you don't dare, don't. But loss you know. From up there the view looks so beautiful."
Bara persuaded Arin. He already has a plan. Hope Arin wants to be invited to ride the bianglala.
After a little thought and weighing, Arin finally nodded. Arin wants to ride the ring.
"Don't be afraid I'll take care of you."
"Alright Aa. Arin must be brave."
I bought two tickets. One for Arin and one for him. Rides are very.many of its fans. They have to wait their turn.
After a while of waiting. Their turn has arrived.
"How are you ready. Here's your hand, I'll hold it. Don't look down."
Arin nodded. He looked at his hand that was held by Bara. Feels comfortable. His fear is a little lessened.
"A.."
"Yes Rin..What up. Is it still afraid."
"Why are my hands still held."
"Ehh.." Bara surprised. In a hurry he let go of Arin's hand.
"What's already. Its alright. Are you not afraid."
I looked at Arin. Arin nodded.
"It's not so scared. Eh. right yes A.From here the city looks very beautiful. The lights look like stars."
Bara took Arin's hand back. Arin surprised. He looked at Bara.
"A.."
"Why? What can't be?"
Arin was confused as to what to answer. He just kept quiet and looked around. See the amazing beauty of the city seen from a height.
"Aryn.."
"Yes.."
"Can I get into your life?"
Arin. He was more and more surprised by Bara's question.
"What about Aa?"
I took a long breath. It was so hard to express his heart. Need the power turns out. His chest was pounding faster.
"Wheel.. I've liked you since I first met."
Deg. Arin was shocked to hear Bara's confession. The first time we met meant five years ago.
"Arin. how is it okay. Can I be the one by your side?"
Arin was getting stunned. On the day there was only Fian. But his relationship with Fian never developed. Fian is currently missing. He can't meet.
"Not to be answered now. I know so much about you. Sorry if I was being honest. I've been holding all this for a long time."
Bara felt very relieved. His heart was finally able to express. He doesn't care what Arin answers. The important thing is that Arin already knows his heart.
Arin was confused as to what to answer. Bara is good He always comes when he's in trouble. But Arin's feelings are only for Fian.
"If you may know, what is your relationship with Fian."
Arin is confused. What should he do. He also has to be honest about everything. About his relationship with Fian who won't get the blessing of Fian's parents. About all the family drama that happened all this time?
Or Arin better accept Bara. Who really loves him?
