The Confusing Feelings
“You okay? Why crying?” ask Haru.
“Nothing. But ... Why are you here? Not working?” ask Arin confused.
“I heard you went to your parents' house, Anna said so I immediately caught up with you but instead saw us sitting here alone. Something happened?” ask Haru.
“We're a little bit of a fuss. But it's okay ...,” said Arin was clear he was lying hide the fact what really happened to him.
Haru guessed it, knowing that Arin was lying to him. But Haru chose to remain silent because maybe Arin did not want him to know what happened.
“Come! Let me take you home ...,” take Haru with me while extending his hand to Arin who then fell silent for a while while looking at Haru's hand which somehow made him feel much calmer.
This was the first time he had seen anyone willing to lend a hand to him while he was going through a difficult time. It felt a little strange, like being moved but this feeling was more than a sense of being moved. Then what …?
Slowly Arin grasped the hand so warm that — while standing — his eyes could not stop staring at a hand that was even larger in size than his hand and full of veins that signified a work strenuously. Both of Arin's eyes now began to look at Haru's eyes that he did not hesitate to look at him. The two eyes were staring at each other. Arin tries to find out what Haru's gaze means to her.
“Ayo …!
The voice of her invite who instantly broke her daydream — was slightly interested as Haru brought her closer to the car. He even threw a car for her, even when he entered into Haru really keep it — put a hand on his head so as not to hit — close the door and walk around to get to the other door.
“What is it ….? Why is he so attentive? Am I the one who takes it too much?” arin asked in his heart still wondering about Haru's behavior towards him.
“We go well ..” said Haru who then did his car.
***
Arriving in front of the apartment, Haru stopped the car because he could not get inside and had to go back to work.
“Sorry to have inconvenienced you, surely you are very busy ..” said Arin was not happy with Haru who has been much trouble.
“I'd rather say thank you than sorry, so I hope this is the last time I hear an apology from you. Simply thank you I will be happier.” Haru said again to make Arin's heart touched to hear it.
“Ahh .. Ma —” seketiak Arin stopped saying words that he should not say. “Thank you ..” said Arin.
“Iya, equally.” says Haru — smile.
Arin unbuckles her seat belt — steps out the car — waving before finally Haru drove away leaving her. Arin was still silent in the same spot looking at Haru's car which was getting further and then decided to walk into his apartment.
***
Time shows at 12 midnight. Arin waits for Haru at the door of his apartment that never comes. For 30 minutes he waited like a lost child in the middle of the night. Maybe it could have been waiting inside, somehow Arin wanted to see how Haru who just came home from work.
“Ah! Uh! Uh! Cramps ... cramps .. cramps .. ahh ... pain!!!” eluh Arin while trying to hold her right leg which is cramping due to prolonged squatting.
From a distance, Haru had just stepped out from inside the elevator looking at the figure of a woman who looked in pain. Her guardian Haru wondered about the figure of the woman rolling around in front of the door. Haru instantly realizes that the woman in pain is Arin.
“Arin ..!!”
Haru rushed to Arin.
“Arin you why?” haru asked while crouching in front of Arin who was moaning in pain while holding onto his right leg.
“Kaki ... leg I cramp ..” said Arin.
“Sini let me help ... try to straighten your legs slowly yes ...,” Haru said while helping straighten Arin's legs that seem to start crying because of pain. After the toe is held, “Please hold yes ..” Haru said slowly and carefully starting to put a little pressure on the tip of the toes, provide stretching so that the muscles that are being stretched start to be more flexible.
“HAHHH ..!!” Arin screams in pain.
“Sick ... hold yes, hold for a while ..” says Haru feels guilty seeing Arin in pain.
Arin began to feel calmer when she heard how soft the language she had to use to calm her down. Although still feeling sick but Arin felt quite safe.
“Why is this hour still outside and not sleeping ..?” asked Haru while giving a little light massage to reflect on Arin's legs which seemed to have begun to improve.
“You've eaten?” ask Arin.
“Not had time to eat ...,” Haru said as he removed his hand from Arin's leg. “Have ... still hurts not?” ask Haru.
“Nggak ... have been fine. Emm then ... would you like to eat with me?” ask Arin.
Haru was silent for a while while trying to read Arin's facial expression which seemed to be preparing something for her.
“Bby ...” Answer Haru.
With a sudden Arin instantly clasped his hands — they stood simultaneously. Arin turned around to press the password of her door. Then bring Haru into his house.
Haru was still a little confused when he was brought inside Arin's house. But he just tried to follow him even though actually today he was very tired after working overtime.
“Sit here yes ...” said Arin while telling Haru to sit on the sofa of the middle room. “I get you something ..” said Arin who then rushed to the kitchen to pick up the evening snack food he made for Haru. A food from Korea called Tteokbokki.
Arin walked slowly while carrying a gold metal pot containing hot tteokbokki, then he put it on the table. Haru was stunned to not believe that Hara made food for him. After putting it down, Arin returned to the kitchen to pick up the cutlery and cola. Then back to sit next to Haru who is still amazed by what Arin made.
“You made this yourself?” ask Haru.
“Emm .. I often do this with Anna. But I'm not sure what it's like, whether you like it or not .. let's eat it!” take Arin while pouring tteokbokki into Haru's small plate.
