The Story of Aira
23

Day after day Aira was alone. There is no place to complain and share your feelings. There is Mega nearby, but Aira doesn't fully trust her. He learned from his previous experience. That looks good, not necessarily sincere. Therefore, now he was more careful. Not not to be good friends. He was just building a defensive fortress, so that the events of that time would not happen again. No need to get too close, but not necessarily away.

Geck... Geck...

"Mister Airaaa...?!" someone called. The woman is Mbak Wati, a boarding manager.

"Yes, mom. What's up, huh?" asked Aira after opening the door.

"There's a guest ahead" he said.

"Who?"

"Yes, I forgot not to ask. He's a guy, tall, handsome, his nose pointed. Her boyfriend...?!" so said Mbak Wati with a flirtatious glance.

"Who the hell, mbak? I'm afraid." said Aira.

He has no appointments with anyone. After all, he also did not have any male friends here.

"Just get out first. Want me to go with you?"

Before reaching the bottom floor, Aira saw someone sitting behind her. The person in question was wearing a jacket that he was very familiar with. His hair, his broad shoulders, his way of sitting. It all feels so familiar.

"Known?" tanya Mbak Wati when she saw Aira stop her steps.

"Yes, mom. Thank you" said Aira.

"Is he really?!"

Aira went down the stairs with slow steps, her heart started beating irregularly. As if he was reacting to something.

"Searching...?!" aira asked doubtfully when she was not far from that person.

The person in front of him looked at him quickly.

Deg

Aira's legs suddenly felt limp. He really did not believe what he was seeing right now.

"I can't take long, Aira." she said. "Can we go out for a second?!" ask that guy.

Aira smiled very sweetly.

"A..., I.., will be right back." Aira hurriedly went back up the stairs.

"Can't he be careful? Why should I run?" muttered.

Shortly thereafter, Aira returned. Still in the same suit. He simply added an outer and a sling bag to store his phone.

There was a taxi waiting for them. That's the vehicle that's gonna take them away.

"Come in!" the man opened the door for Aira. "To the place you said yes to." he said.

"Yes, mas. Ready...!!" said the driver.

"Where are you going?" ask Aira.

"A good place. His father said so." he replied.

"Ryaaaan.., I'm serious...! You're not taking me to some weird place, are you?!"

Yes, the one who suddenly came, who made Aira limp and fixated, he was Ryan.

"Sir, it's not a weird place, is it?" ask Ryan to make sure.

Frankly, Ryan doesn't know the place either. He only asked his driver about a convenient place to chat while he was on his way to Aira.

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

Because Ryan didn't want to be too far from the airport, he asked to be shown a place nearby. So that he will not be troubled when he will return later.

Here they are now. A park in the middle of the city. The atmosphere was not too crowded, not quiet either. It's not a weekend, and it's still early in the morning.

"You look good." Ryan said.

"Maybe it's because you're here now" Aira replied.

"Where do you learn from?" sahut Ryan's.

"You." chirped Aira.

"Slander is what it is." Ryan looked smiling.

Ryan stared at the bright blue sky, with clouds of various shapes scattered up there. He was barely speechless when he met Aira again.

"Kok can suddenly get here? Don't tell me anymore. Good thing it's not straying" Aira said.

"And you told me the address. You also tell me about your work schedule. Forgot already?" Ryan tried to remind me.

"Where there is forgetting. Just I still didn't expect, you'll catch me here. This is far away Ryan...!!!"

"Do I look upset?" reply Aira back.

"No. You're so adorable." Ryan pinched Aira's cheek.

"But you're a mouse, Aira." he said later.

"What time?" ask Aira. He didn't even realize that.

"Is your job so hard? Or do you eat it irregularly?" terka Ryan's.

"No. I'm just adapting to my new environment." said Aira.

"If it's uncomfortable, why not just stop? Find another job, you can." Ryan advised.

"All is well, Ryan. Look at me, I'm very healthy" he said.

"Good...!!" Ryan patted the top of Aira's head.

It felt very different, after a long time he finally did it again. A simple but memorable habit in Aira's heart and memory.

Ryan was trying to believe what Aira said. Although in his heart he was still very worried about the girl he loved so much.

"Did you know you were here?" ask Aira later.

"My mom, what's your mom?" Ryan asked back.

"Your mother. If my mother had known, she would have said it." replied Aira.

"Mom knows. Mother also send a message so you take good care of yourself. I miss you so much." Ryan said.

"Mother only? Not his son, is he?" sira great-grandson.

"It's less, every day I send you my miss report, huh?!" Ryan was very worried about Aira.

Aira simply held back her laughter. He asked intentionally like that.

"Hopefully I can visit you often. You know, it's hard being away from you." she said.

"Me too." replied Aira, very honestly.

"I'm sorry, I can't take long. At 2 o'clock my plane leaves. It's okay, right?" ryan said with his eyes.

"I understand. It's okay." Aira smile.

"...?!"

"Heeem...?!"

"Will you fight for the future with me?"

The question made Aira stunned. But also happy. Apparently after a few months apart, Ryan was still keeping his heart to Aira.

"It's hard?!" sahut Ryan's.

"How could I let you try so hard alone." replied Aira.

"Really?!" Ryan was so happy to hear that.

"Wait until I know their real reason. After that we will both find a way out." explained Aira.

"But..." Ryan was a little worried. "How about while waiting, someone takes my position?"

"As you said at the time. If I'm made for you, then I'm only yours." Aira smile. And so is Ryan.

"You're a good person Aira. I promised myself. I'll take you in a good way anyway. May God bless us." said Ryan.

"Aamiin...!!"

I don't think time goes so fast. Ryan has to get back to the airport.

"Be careful. Greetings to me." said Aira.

"Yes. You're careful here too. I'm leaving, bye...!!" Ryan.

"Daddy..." Aira waved her hand.

Like repeating a moment a few months ago. When Ryan took Aira away. The difference, now Aira who drove Ryan. And there was not the slightest sorrow on their faces. Very different from that time. Now both seem radiant. In addition to being reunited, they also pledged to fight together for the future they dreamed of.

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

"Who would have thought Ryan would come to see me. So suddenly that it all felt so effective. After many months we**be*detach. Can only talk on mobile. And today I'm with him. I am really very happy.

Is this the beginning of God's answer to my prayer?...

Aaah, no. I can't be too happy. But thank you God. You are glad we meet again. May You always take care of our relationship, take care of our hearts. Aamiy...!!"
