THE SOUL OF MAYRA

THE SOUL OF MAYRA
26 (Twice in a day)


"Great!"


Fara stepped wide, leaving the bench he was sitting on as well as the bespectacled schoolgirl who had been for two days suddenly pestered his life. And, strangely though ignored the schoolgirl continued to approach Fara. As if he was not treated like that.


Fara heard clearly if the glasses student called her, but she chose to put earphones in her ears. Listen to the lyrics of the song Bad Liar by Anna Hamilton.


The wheels turn over the asphalt of the road. The density of the human sea never seemed to disappear. This time Fara and her mother will have lunch together. Even though it was past the clock. It is now three in the afternoon in Singapore.


In the car there is silence. Rika is focused on driving the car, and Fara is focused on looking out the glass. With his favorite songs that are already stored in his playlist.


"Fara?" Rika feels less like the silence of her car. The called look. Take off one earphone so that you can hear your mom talking.


"Where is your school today?" rika's question is just a pleasantries. Because he didn't know where to start the conversation. Even with her daughter, Rika found it difficult to communicate normally.


Rika also realized, that Fara who is now not as stupid as before. Fara who now grew into an indifferent figure even with her own parents.


Fara smiled obliquely without looking at her mother on the side. Because he was focused on looking straight ahead.


"Tumben Mama asked, what's wrong?" balas Fara's. "Normally not!"


From the sentence that Fara blurted out, just a sentence, but able to cut Rika's heart as her own mother. Rika tried to cover up the pain in her heart with a smile. Oh, not sick. But it's a terrible pain.


"Because Mama just had time with you, Fara. Don't talk about it dong." Rika smiled but could only see Fara from the side. My mom is focused on driving.


"Now long, Ma?" Fara asked the others. "I'm going home fast."


"Patience, we'll be here soon. Papa also seems to have arrived first." Rika kept smiling. Although he was awkward to be near his daughter. "Why do you want to go home quickly? A lot of work, huh?"


"Not really. Just lying down, my body's tired."


Rika just nodded in understanding.


"Tadi ... Who, how do you feel so familiar with you?" Rika asked back. Try to stay near her daughter. "Your classmates?"


Fara this time looked at her Mama who occasionally also did the same. "Who? Who was wearing glasses?"


"not nobody. Unacquainted. Not a classmate either."


"Ah, nobody's time?" Rika denies. Can't believe it.


"Mom ask me what is ngeyel anyway?!" fara Cibir. "Emang he's the one who is familiar with Fara. Oh, I have such a cute friend!"


"Don't talk that way, Fara," Rika scolded. Indirectly Fara badmouled the schoolgirl with glasses on her. Rika thinks he's a good boy. "The human is different. Not everything is the same as you, who keep up appearances. They have their own comfort in choosing stlye."

At night in the land of the owner of the Merlion statue, heavy rain flushed. Inhibit the movement of humans who usually spend the night outside. Although not all of them are hampered, but this heavy rain provokes the curse of the humans.


"Twice we met today. Hello say!"


From day to night came, this day for Fara was a day she never wanted. Again, wherever he is there must always meet a student with glasses that he never wanted. Fara cursed inwardly as she stared at the rain out there.


Intending to improve his bad mood, it did not become. Everything was ruined by the bespectacled schoolgirl who a few minutes ago sat in front of him without permission. At a cafe not far from his apartment building, Fara is currently located.


"Fara, since yesterday you didn't ask my name, why?"


Fara rolled her eyes puffed. I think he wants to break through the rain tonight. But, it would risk the flu on him. Fara doesn't want that. The exam will be here soon. He must take care of his health.


"Is that important to you?!" Fara soliciting. I don't like this situation. "I never want to know you!!"


Instantly the girl with the same glasses, looked down in fear. He looks sad but does not attract pity from Fara.


"I'm so-sorry." He got up to leave. But he took the time to look at Fara for a few seconds. "I g - go first. See you."
