ABOUT YOU
EPILOGUES
The clear sky looks so beautiful. A middle-aged man seemed to be holding hands with a girl who was on a kasmaran island. Carrying a bouquet of white roses, the middle-aged man stared for so long at a stone vortex that read the name Official Andia so beautifully.
“Darling, sorry I haven't visited you in a long time.”
“Yes mother, dad is now too busy with his myriad of work. Dad rarely comes here. Spending time on Risa is rare, Bun. Maafin naughty father yes, mother,” said the ABG girl who wears the high school uniform complained.
“Risa, I will be busy looking for money for your future,” he said while staring at the face of the child.
“Iya, Risa knows. Dad right, his father Risa the most kece, her husband mother the most handsome and cool men loved by women out there.”
“It's just that I loved the women out there if you can't make this one father's son stop nagging asking to buy a new phone. Mother, your son, he brought so much to buy a new mobile phone.”
“Dad!! Ko, say the same mother, anyway?” manyun yells.
“After there, I want to date first with your mother. Love your time alone with your bundle, well?”
Karisa nodded then left. He deliberately gave time to his father who wanted to be alone and let go of longing with his beloved wife.
“Darling, I miss you so much. You know, a day without thinking about you, my heart aches and pains. Honey, our son is now an adult. He has a special friend, every night he tells me that special friend. But I'm proud of you and our son.
“Our child grows up to be a strong girl, a smart girl and also beautiful. She looks more and more like you, I see your reflection inside Risa. Honey, you all right there, Dad? Give me the strength to keep my job smooth. Give Risa strength as well, hopefully next year your child graduates from school with good grades. Do’a I've always been with you. Honey, I love you.”
Not felt, the tears of the middle-aged man came out also from his eye peluk. Risa who had seen from a distance her father cried, also shed her tears.
Arfan, the man in a gray white uniform who happened to be standing next to Risa immediately embraced his lover while gently holding the head of the girl he loved the most.
“Now it's your turn. Dad is done.”
Risa and Arfan nodded. The two of them immediately set their feet towards the grave of Risa's mother. Arfan and Risa seemed to close their eyes for a moment while offering prayers, praying for the people they respected the most and also loved.
“Assalamualaikum, Aunt Andia. I'm Arfan, Risa's special friend. Maybe we never met. But, I really admire Aunt Andia as told by Om Arya.
"Hearing aunty story from Om Arya alone, I already feel very close to aunty. Now, just calm aunt, here are already two men who will look after and love aunty daughter with a sincere heart.”
Hearing Arfan's words, Risa again shed her tears. He was so moved and so proud to have a lover like Arfan. Although he is not even 17 years old, but Arfan looks mature. Although the words are simple, but it is very meaningful.
“Mother, Risa kangen sama mama. Mother, can you get a replacement mother? Mother agrees with Risa, right? Mother is not angry, is she? Risa wants to see dad also happy with his partner. Although the father will have a new wife, but Risa is sure in her heart the father will always have a mother. Because Risa knows, I love you very much.
“Mother, Risa go home first, yeah? Risa wants a date first with Arfan,” he said with a shy smile. “Mother agrees Risa with Arfan? Do you like Arfan?” ask her in a very slow voice.
“Elo by the way, Ris?” ask Arfan curious.
“Ngak, ko. Yes, we go home first, Bun. Assalamualaikum.”
After being satisfied enough to meet her beloved mother, Risa said goodbye to her father if she wanted to go for a walk with Arfan. After getting permission from her father, Risa also immediately approached Arfan who was waiting for her.
“Nih,” he said Arfan while giving Risa a Hello Kitty picture helmet.
“Where are we going?”
“Where, yeah? Where are you going?”
“Whichever is important is you.” Risa smiled shyly.
“Why? Don't like me calling you?”
“Not so, love it, anyway. Feels rich dating really,” he said with a laugh.
“Always, we haven't been dating?”
“Dating. You are, her boyfriend Arfan,” said Arfan who follows the style of chat Risa by calling you.
Risa smiled. They immediately rushed away and enjoyed the atmosphere of Bandung in the afternoon on the motorbike.
“Risa, you know not?”
“What?”
“I like you,” he said shyly.
“Without you saying I already know, Fan. Kan, Arfan is Risa's boyfriend,” he said shyly following Arfan's sentence.
“Never let go of my hand well, Ris?” said Arfan while pulling Risa's hand slowly and wrapping it into her stomach.
“Yes, I will never let go,” he replied that further tightened his embrace.
“Dear you, Risa!” arfan shouted while driving his motorbike.
“Dear you too, Arfan!” risa shouted back while stretching out both her hands.
Risa and Arfan spent this afternoon together. Surround the Square and the road together while holding hands around Braga street like 2 months ago.
Suddenly, it rained so hard. The atmosphere of the streets of Braga began to boisterous by the rustling of rainwater that soaked the streets.
"Well, it's raining!" risa looked disappointed.
"Rain won't get in the way of our date, Ris. Comeon?" he said, extending his hand.
Risa grabbed Arfan's hand then smiled broadly. The two of them ran around with a smile in the rain that soaked all their clothes.
"If there's a Mbul, just let her take shelter from the rainwater in a jacket like the two of us, Ris."
"Why should you be upset, Fan?"
"Because he hates the rain and doesn't like running around like this. Because his whole body will definitely vibrate."
Hearing Arfan's chatter about Mbul, Risa laughed out loud. Risa and Arfan looked at each other again and threw a warm smile at each other.
"Thank you for being my girlfriend, Fan."
Arfan smiled broadly. He embraced Risa and drew closer to her lover. Then, they ran back in the rain with Arfan's jacket that he used as an umbrella for him as well as Risa, his lover.
Will Arfan and Risa's story end like this? Look forward to the continuation of romance, simplicity and ridiculousness they are well 😊
