The Story of Aira
15

"Here you!!!" Gio pulled Tiara's hand out of the car.

"What the hell?!" Tiara stomped her hand quite hard. Not accepting Gio's treatment of her.

"You want to come here, huh?!" it was obvious that Gio did not like Tiara's current existence.

Right now they are on the side of the highway. Which is not far from the road there is a typical village football field. With green grass that thrives without the need for special care.

This afternoon there was a friendly match. Aditya team against the next village team. Not the Gio team. But Gio accidentally came because he got news from Aditya.

"It's none of your business." said Tiara.

"So it's my business, because your arrival is clear to see Ryan. Aye right?!" sentak Gio's.

"It's good to know. Watch out!" Tiara was about to leave, but Gio held her back.

"What do you expect?" ask Gio. "No one, Tiara. Ryan won't take you anymore. No one will accept you. Except me!" repelled.

Tiara understood the meaning of Gio's words. He took a deep breath, realizing that he was worthless.

"You are the cause of Gio." he said softly.

"We both wanted it at that time." errat Gio. He was not the prime suspect. Because all based on likes.

Tiara stepped back until she dropped her back on the wall fence whose paint had faded. He shed tears.

"I never regret liking you Tiara. I'm just sorry we went too fast. Trust me, I love you. I really want you." Gio said with great sincerity.

"You just want your future son! Not me! And also take your revenge, right?!!" snapped Tiara.

"At first yes. But now it's not. Believe that! Comeback to me! I beg...!!!" Gio pleaded while peeping the back of Tiara's hand.

"Stop chasing Ryan. I can give everything for you. I promise!"

"I don't need sweet words. I just need proof." Tiara replied in the end.

"I'll marry you soon!" gio was full of confidence.

Without them knowing, not far from their current position, there is a new Ryan and Aira coming. They even wear work uniforms.

"Prove it!" challenge Tiara.

"Seriously...??!" Gio was very happy. "Thank you, Tiara...!!!" Gio hugged Tiara tightly.

"A!!!" Ryan suddenly nodded.

The two lovebirds were panicking and drifting away from each other.

"Not here either time." Ryan said.

Tiara looked blushed, while Gio rubbed his neck misbehaving.

Aira looked at Ryan's friendlier eyes. Much different from the look in the eye when Ryan last met Gio.

"Did I miss something?" aira muttered softly, but Ryan could hear it.

"Don't ask too many questions, yeah...!" Ryan smiled as he poked Aira's tiny nose.

"Yahh...!!"

A very rare sight was seen on the edge of the field. Where Ryan and Gio go hand in hand. Behind them was Aira with Tiara who seemed to be enjoying the topic they were talking about.

"Wooooeih, man...!!" everyone greeted each other and hugged a real man.

While Aira immediately sat with Tiara with grass.

"How could they be that familiar? The last time I saw you was going to war." Aira grumbled.

"I don't know either." replied Tiara.

Aira saw Ryan take his hat, then pat Gio on the shoulder. Ryan then walked casually towards Aira.

"Why?" ask Aira curiously.

Ryan did not answer Aira's question. He just put a hat on Aira's head. Then tidying up Aira's slightly messy hair.

"Don't get hot" he said.

"Thank you..." Aira smile.

"Ciiie..." Tiara nudged Aira's shoulder.

"It's normal." replied Aira.

"Thank you always care for me." Inner Aira.

"Pair the tent next time, woih...!!" his friend teased.

"I'm hot heart tide what dong...??!" the other sahut.

"Pair the ring on my ring finger, baby...!!" say another one.

Aditya and Gio just laughed looking at his friends. But not with Rangga. He looked indifferent, not caring about anything in front of him. He was just focusing on the warm-up he was doing.

......................

A few weeks later...

Gio proved his point. He proposed to Tiara some time ago, and today they held a wedding reception.

"Congratulations..." Aira kisses Tiara's cheek.

"Thank you." reply Tiara.

"Follow soon." said Gio. Aira just shook her head slowly.

"Congratulations, bro...!!" Ryan patted Gio's shoulder.

"Thanks. When's this?" Gio glanced at Aira who had already joined the Princess and Ninik.

"If his soul mate arrives." retorts the original Ryan.

"Hopefully" said Gio.

Ryan then met his mother who also participated in Gio's wedding.

"Eat already?" ask mother.

Mom knew that her son came home from work and went straight to Gio's show.

"So, Mom, Aira brought you lunch" she replied with a happy smile.

"Don't be spoiled by people's children." scolded his mother. "You also work in cafes, why ask for food." said the mother.

"He is a loving person." Ryan defended himself.

"His eyes are looking for attention. It must be a story that you're busy here and you're not preparing anything at home."

Yes, that's how you are if the power of your sixth sense comes out. They can know everything without waiting for the child's confession.

"It's so bad mom, it's." Ryan denied.

"Ryan.." that's his father.

"Yes dad." Ryan replied.

"It's not dad. He's Aira, my best friend." replied Ryan.

"You don't look like friends. Isn't it mom?" ryan's father asked for an opinion from his second wife. Ryan's mother simply replied with a smile.

"Bring here, introduce you to your father and mother." the father said.

"Well, Aira is shy. He must be awkward let alone a lot of people" said the mother. "Dad focus on the same guests invited father only. Poor kids people will feel uncomfortable."

"You're right."

Ryan was relieved. She then tells her parents to meet Aira and her other friends.

"Ah, that's Ryan!" princess says.

"What's wrong?" ryan asked as he approached.

"Which bathroom?" ask Aira slowly.

"Oh, let me drop off" he said. "Sir, come with us!"

"Heleeeh.." snorted Ninik. "Two why?!" his gerrick.

"Ayooo...!" Aira took Ninik's hand.

Ryan just showed me his place, then he just stayed away a bit. It would be impolite for him to wait out there.

After finishing the ritual, Aira immediately came out. Outside, it turns out that Ryan's mother is talking to Ninik.

"Oh..., how's dong??!" Aira looks agitated.

Ryan's mother saw the strange gurgle. Approached him.

"Aira, why?" ryan's mother asked in a soft voice. Typical of a calm mother, whose heart is like a fairy godmother.

"Ec.., i-it's..." Aira doubtful. "I-it's.." still hesitant.

Ryan's mother saw Aira rub her stomach. Then he looked into Aira's eyes.

"Here's with mom." Ryan's mom grabbed Aira, took her somewhere.

"Aira why ma'am?" ryan asked as he saw Aira with her mother come out of the corridor connected to the guest bathroom.

"It's okay" replied the mother. "Please bring warm water to mom's room!" tell Ryan's mom.

Arriving at the room where Ryan's mother was staying, Aira was asked to sit comfortably on the bed.

"Again get regular guests?" say mother. Aira nodded.

"Rest first here" he said again.

"Sick, Ra?" Ninik followed anxiously.

"Ep. Usually never gini anyway." reply Aira who still holds his stomach.

Ryan went into the room without knocking on the door. He brought a glass of warm water as his mother ordered.

"Drink first, son" said Ryan's mother.

"Thank you." said Aira after drinking some of the water.

"Need to see a doctor?" ask Ryan.

"No. Just a small matter. Already, you go there. A lot of your friends are out there, pity."

"But, mom. How's aira?" Ryan was worried about Aira.

"Let mother take care of. Ninik can also go, accompany the others." Ryan's mother smiled.

With a heavy heart Ryan followed the orders of his mother.

"Why am I left here alone?" Aira felt bad for just being alone with Ryan's mother.

The middle-aged woman smiled looking at Aira, then sat down on the edge of the mattress.

"Don't do that. Does mom look scary?" joking.

"No, ma. Aira's not good, so it's troublesome." she said.

"Nothing is bothered" said Ryan's mother.

"How does it feel? Still sore?" ask mom later.

"A little." reply Aira.

"If the pain says, don't arrest ya."

"Yes, mom. Thanks." Aira smile.

"It's so pretty." Mom rubbed Aira's cheek. "How could they be so evil as you when living in the village? You are a good boy."

"You're so patient. It's only right now that you're surrounded by good people." Ryan's mother kept on expressing her heart.

"Is Ryan good to you?" ask mother.

"Yes, mom. Ryan is so good." Aira smile.

"Thank God" said Ryan's mother. "Playing into the house. Don't hesitate." she asked.

"Yes, ma'am."

"Oh my God.., it's very upset. Just want me to pinch" he said. "May you hug me?" Aira nodded.

"Mom knows you two love each other." said the mother as she rubbed Aira's hair. "But many things make you not want to go any further. You guys don't want to hurt each other. Aye right?"

Aira wiped her tears. She nodded in the arms of a mother of her best friend.

"Most importantly, keep loving each other and maintain good relationships. God knows better which is best for you and Ryan" he said before letting go of the hug.

"Thank you ma'am." said Aira.

"Together, son. Don't be sad. Later Ryan can be angry with mother." Ryan's mother wiped Aira's tears.

"If you had a daughter like you." she said.

"Mom can think of me as a mother's daughter." said Aira who began to feel comfortable.

"Aaah.., it's nice." Mom hugged Aira again.

......................

"If asked the criteria, all women would want a figure like him...

Yes, who can resist???...

But it is too early to think about such a serious thing, let alone take a step in that direction.

Perhaps it can be considered, if only not blocked by the walls of tradition that is very thick.

But it feels impossible.

Not giving up before you fight.

But neither wants to hurt the one we love..."
