The After The Rain
Isn't She Lovely?

The last class finished at three in the afternoon. Kinara hurriedly tidied up her belongings and intended to immediately leave the classroom which started to come back boisterous as Dahayu patted her on the shoulder a few times.

Kinara turned her head while trying to stop the pace of Dahayu's hand that was still patting her shoulders.

"What?" he asked after the clap on his shoulder stopped and Dahayu now looked focused on the screen of his phone.

"It's crazy, anyway." Dahayu said, the more confusion Kinara.

"What's crazy?" ask Kinara again. Trying to ignore the noise that began to get increasingly uncontrollable around him.

"Nih," Dahayu handed over the phone that he had been chasing.

Kinara grabbed it, only to find a post that was widely discussed at the campus base. There, using an anonymous account, the sender of the post said that the man in the sacrilegious video involving Layla was Mr. Andreas, young lecturers in their early thirties who just taught on their campus in the new school year yesterday.

"This lie is a lot." Kinara said while giving back Dahayu's phone.

"Do you know where this is a lie?" challenge Dahayu.

In response to that, Kinara relaxed. As she continued her work of cleaning things up, Kinara replied, "Where do you also know if it's true?"

Checkmate! Dahayu forgot that Kinara was always good at reversing words. Two years of friends with this child should make Dahayu understand that it will never be that easy to shake a Kinara Adorelia.

"There can't be smoke if there's no fire, Kinara. How could the name of Mr. Andreas suddenly be mentioned that he was not involved?"

Kinara stopped her activities right before the last item went into the bag. He sighed, then looked at Dahayu lazily. "What if there is someone who does not like Mr. Andreas, continue to use this moment to drop his name?"

"Partially, in the video it is not clear how the guy's face. Just vaguely. How can you directly accuse someone with such proof?" finished with his words, Kinara got up. The arrival of a goodie bag that was lying on the table then stepped casually splitting a group of students who were huddling at one table. The topic of their discussion is, of course, still about Layla's sacrilegious video.

The noisy sounds coming from their lips were as much as Kinara could ignore. Not only the noisy voice of the student who was gossiping, Kinara also paid attention to the ears of the Dahayu's screams that repeatedly called her name.

Kinara's ears were initially hot and the pengang gradually improved once she made it out of the classroom. Unwilling to waste any time, Kinara immediately continued her steps.

Along the corridor to the parking lot, Kinara's mind split in two. One section is busy thinking about how he makes money to help the family economy, while another section is thinking about Layla's fate.

Actually, Kinara was not that close to Layla to come to think about the problem. During his studies at this campus, he only met and greeted the girl a few times. It was also unintentionally because he happened to have a senior acquaintance in the medical faculty. The rest, Kinara did not know what kind of figure Layla really was.

It's just that, as a fellow woman, Kinara felt pity because since the sacrilegious video was circulating only Layla who got criticized. The man in the video also made a big contribution. It could even be the man who has deliberately recorded their adult activities and made the footage leak to the general public.

Kinara was upset that in such a case, it was always the women who were blamed and held accountable.

Amidst the whack, Kinara let out a rough sigh as the rain suddenly fell as she reached the end of the corridor. His steps stopped immediately. Kinara looked up, looking up at the clear afternoon sky but was able to knock down the rushing grains of water. Perhaps, the sky this afternoon was similar to her. Who could still smile even though in his heart there were so many painful feelings that needed to be shed.

"Well, it's raining."

Kinara turned to the side, finding Dahayu grumbling while fixing the strands of her hair flying in the wind.

"Just water." Chirpe Kinara.

Dahayu who was originally busy with her appearance practically turned her head and immediately squinted at dislike. Who said the rain this afternoon fell in the form of a gemstone? THERE ISN'T!

"Have you been hit by a mouth like Lamborghini yet, Ra?" sarkas Dahayu who actually made Kinara laugh.

Kinara no longer cared about the ravings of Dahayu next to her. He looked up again, took a step forward and then extended his hand forward. His outstretched hand looked up, welcoming the droplets of free-falling rainwater.

Cold instantly ran through Kinara's palm as the grains of rain reached the surface of his skin. Kinara smiled then started to close her eyes. Inhaled it deeply the smell of rain that was carried away by the wind.

Beside him, Dahayu had already stopped raving. Secretly the girl observed how Kinara looked so peaceful enjoying every drop of rain that fell into her palm.

Then either out of curiosity how it feels or indeed basically he likes to go along with it, Dahayu reached out and did the same thing as Kinara.

Kinara who was originally a henchman enjoyed his activities immediately opened her eyes and turned her head quickly towards Dahayu. Afraid that Dahayu why-why.

"Why, Ay?" ask Kinara a little panic. He walked closer to Dahayu. Watch the girl from head to toe to check if any part of her body is injured.

"Cold." Dahayu answered accompanied by a grin that instantly made Kinara spin a lazy ball.

"I thought why." Kinara said, half relieved because it turned out that nothing bad happened to Dahayu.

Kinara was about to continue her activities that had paused due to Dahayu's screeches, but the girl suddenly withdrew her half-stretched hand.

"Why the hell, Ay?"

"Don't play water! It's cold!" Dahayu took out a handkerchief from inside her bag, then used it to wipe away the remaining rainwater stuck to Kinara's palm.

"Not cold, Ay," Kinara tried to pull her hand, but Dahayu insisted on holding her back.

"Cold!" said Dahayu while glaring.

Finally, Kinara had no choice but to comply. He fully resigned himself as Dahayu pulled his arm and invited him to sit on a wooden bench at the end of the corridor.

"We can run to the parking lot, but I don't want to. I don't want to be sick." That was the first sentence that Dahayu said after they settled down.

"So sweet." Praise Kinara with a bright smile.

Dahayu twisting lazy eyeball. "Newly realize lo?"

"If his angry hobbies are reduced, they must be more sweet." Kinara said ending in a wide grin.

"Gue angry like this you still do not want to hear what I said, what if I turned into a gentle macem princess Solo? The ears are getting harder and harder to hear my words!" Dahayu pinched slowly Kinara's ears.

"It hurts, Ay..."

"Lebay, slow down."

"But it still hurts!"

"Zinc."

"Its ugly."

"Nara jamet."

"Fish-like content ******."

"Nara looks like a lohan fish."

Explosions of laughter were inevitable as their gazes met. Scenes of mutual attrition like this are indeed common. Neither Dahayu nor Kinara ever felt offended at the taunts they were throwing at each other. Because for both, it is part of the way they show affection to each other.

"Laper, Ay." Kinara complained after their laughter subsided.

"Same. Later if the rain has subsided, we will eat meatballs near the intersection, yuk?"

"Can."

They were getting immersed in the chatter until they did not realize that not far from there, Atha stood up while watching how the two interacted. The young man smiled, clasping tightly to the chocolate in his grasp while speaking softly. "Isn't she lovely, Tha?"
