The Story of Aira
Aira_2's

I've prepared everything. Except courage. Because until that day comes, I still feel very afraid to leave.

And they're both Ryan and Aditya. Are they so eager to take me away?... To the point that they came to my house too early. We even had breakfast together.

"The witness has come" said the father after ending his call.

"Let me help you with the suitcase, sir." Aditya then took my suitcase lying on the porch.

"Dad.." hesitated to say it.

"You can fuck Ryan. Mom and Dad are gonna take a cab."

I really understand what I want.

"Thank you dad." I said.

"Don't stop by. Will miss the plane." mother's message.

"Let's go. Let me lock the door" said Dad.

As usual, Ryan put on a helmet for me.

"This is the last time I put a helmet on for you." he murmured.

"Don't say that..."

That sentence sounds very painful.

"The truth is, right?" Ryan smiled faintly.

"I'm sorry..."

"Come, up. The others are waiting!"

Arriving at the red light, Ryan pulled my hand with his left. Grasping it very tightly. Then open the glass helmet. He looked towards me.

"Please promise me you won't forget me."

"What if you forget me first?" I said.

"I had a discussion yesterday, I don't want another Aira, other than you" he said.

"Who are you talking to?" my many.

I don't understand what he's saying.

"God dong!" the answer surprised me.

"It's incredible...!!!" I said. "What then is the answer?"

"We have to pray a lot for our relationship. Don't let our story be like the title of a terrible novel." he said.

"What's that?" I just keep serving him. Because moments like that won't happen again after I'm gone.

The sound of the horn from the vehicle in the back shocked me. Apparently the lights are green.

When I got to the airport, I said goodbye to my parents. They didn't come home with me. Because there are still things they have to finish.

I also say goodbye to Ryan and Aditya.

"Be careful, don't forget to keep us informed." Aditya patted my shoulder.

"Yes, you too."

"Remember my message yesterday, right?" said Ryan.

I nodded in understanding.

"One more. It is forbidden to miss anyone other than me." Ryan took my nose.

"Halaaaah...!!!" sahut Aditya's.

"I'm leaving. Greetings to everyone." I said.

"Be careful. After I tell you" said Ryan.

"Em." I nodded again.

I sat by the window, looking at the small-looking expanse of sea and islands below. I really don't understand what my life path will be like.

I wiped away the tears that I had been holding back. Because I don't want them to see me cry.

And for you, Ryan.... I don't know who will leave after this. But I hope this feeling stays. Lying if I don't like you, and don't expect a relationship more than friends. I hope you don't forget me, Ryan...

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

Like I said, 'the tall-height storks fly, finally to the sublimation as well.'

Here I am now. My hometown. Where I was born and raised. It is undeniable that this house is the most comfortable home for me. Although I feel comfortable with my humble abode. But my mind still misses them. Yes, they...

Ryan.., usually this early in the morning he would come to my house to pick me up. And we go to work together. I was too confident, considering us a match because fate brought us together in a shopping complex. Even if I'm out of the village. He can always adjust his work schedule with me. Except the holiday schedule.

Ryan was also very well received by my father and mother. But unfortunately, they still do not want any relationship more than friendship. My grandparents said the same thing when I arrived yesterday. But when I asked the reason. They just said 'no.' And I was forbidden to ask so many questions afterwards.

Again, I'm sorry, Ryan...

Maybe if he was right next to me, he pinched my nose for saying sorry too often.

To this day me, Ryan, and the others still communicate frequently. Even Ryan was very diligent in sending messages. Whether it's asking for news, or just saying 'I miss you, Aira...'

I try not to get carried away. It's only been a few days, and it's perfectly natural. As the days change week by week by month, everything changes. If there's no time now without sending a message or phone. In the future we may not be related to each other anymore. Miserably... 😭😭😭
