The After The Rain
About Astari

Andanu stared fixedly at the figure of Astari who had just come out of the bathroom. The woman's hair was half wet, trying to dry using a small towel that hung around her neck.

"What?" ask Astari, who knew that Andanu was keeping a lot of questions for her.

Ever since their arrival to Orion this afternoon, the boy had been constantly staring at him in different ways. A look full of probes, as if he was the most suspect suspect of a major case.

"Don't you like Kinara's boss?" todong Andanu immediately, making Astari who had intended to land her buttocks on the living room sofa suddenly stop and look directly at him.

"To be honest with me" he added, as if unconcerned by the grim expression Astari had made of the baseless accusation he made.

"I don't mind if Mbak can open his heart again for others, good even. Just don't be Kinara's boss dong, Ma'am. He was a boy, far below his age. Mom wants to be the same, anyway? No, lah. Find someone of your age, let's"

"Stop!" Astari stuck out her hand, pulled out an index finger directly attached to Andanu's lips to silence her lemes mouth to stop talking.

"Where have you finished the devil? Why are you saying that?" search Astari, but Andanu instead brushed his hand with a sewot.

"Where's the giggle? I'm talking what I see, really." Andanu's hands folded in front of his chest, his eyes looking back at Astari intensely.

"What do you see, hm?"

"Bak likes Kinara's boss, that's what I see."

Astari exhaled loudly. No matter where that ridiculous thought came from, he himself did not know. It could be that Andanu misunderstood him and thought he liked Sekala, at the real time that happened was that he only saw the figure of Sekala as someone who was similar to the person he was missing half dead.

Although in plain sight they look different, but if considered more carefully, there are some facial features of Sekala that are very similar to someone who is being missed Astari. That was why he often looked at Sekala for quite a long time, because he seemed to be looking at someone.

Astari wanted to tell Andanu the real reason, but it was obviously impossible because she knew her sister's response would not be good. He was clearly the one who knew best that Andanu had truly hated that person.

"Bak doesn't like his boss Kinara, Nu." Astari said in the end.

"But it doesn't look like that?" Andanu still did not believe in the denial of his brother.

"The way Mbak met his boss Kinara was very different, really like a person who was kasmaran."

"It's your house!" suddenly spray Astari.

"Kok me? You mean, I like the boss Kinara that much? Dnah, amit-amit! I still normally know, Ma'am!"

"Kinara" interrupted Astari, before Andanu increasingly repositioned everywhere.

"You like Kinara, too" said Astari again, who immediately made Andanu taste.

Feeling that his position was cornered, Andanu exhaled loudly and immediately slurped to leave Astari, barged into his room and closed the door with a slamming motion that was loud enough to make Astari jump.

"Sontoloyo!" astari exclaimed, his heart seemed to be pounding on the floor because of Andanu.

But the irritation did not last long, because after that, his smile began to appear and slowly widened to the ears.

Andanu is being misbehaved right now, which means, his guess is right. The rancid boy did indeed like Kinara.

"Basic cuppa! Like a girl who doesn't dare to talk," she said, then she sat herself on the sofa and turned on the television.

...****************...

"Seriously, Mas Kala. Astari likes Mas Kala. Sensitive dong, sensitive." Cerocos Kinara's.

Sekala did not respond, just continued to walk to his car which is now parked in the parking lot of visitors because his parking lot beside the cafe has been dragged by Kinara. The more here, the chatty girl is getting annoying.

"Maaaaasss.." whined Kinara, when Sekala did not speak her words at all.

He stopped stepping, closed his eyes for a moment while taking a deep breath to dampen his emotions before turning around and staring at Kinara flatly.

"What?" tanyakanya.

Kinara walked over, stopped just two steps before him, grabbed his hand and patted the back of his hand a few times. The girl's eyes stared at him fixedly, full of twinkle of hope that Sekala himself did not know for what.

"Mbak Astari is a good man, Mas. So, it doesn't hurt to give him a chance. I'm blessed, Mas. Just relax, I will be the number one supporter for the smooth running of your relationship in the future." The girl said, so smoothly like a freeway.

As she snorted, she put Kinara's hand down slowly and rushed into the car before Kinara's lips again confused things that did not make sense.

"Mas Kalaaaaa maaaah.." whine Kinara again, but this time Sekala did not care. He turned on the engine instead, preparing to gas it right then and there.

Kinara who knew his efforts would only end in vain finally stepped foot into his own car.

While grumbling, he got into the car. Seatbelt with pouting lips. The engine is turned on and the gas pedal is immediately stepped on so that the car starts to go at a slow speed.

Behind him, Sekala followed. Like the routine they have been doing for the past few days, Sekala will be tailing her car from behind and escorting her until she gets home. Kinara could not resist, as the order to escort it came down directly from Papa.

Ha ... somehow since when Papa and Sekala have reached a stage where they can give and run orders.

...****************...

Along the way home from escorting Kinara, Sekala's mind floated in the air. He kept thinking about Kinara's words about Astari which he said he had put his heart to him.

The problem is, he's not insensitive. He clearly knew that something was different from the way Astari looked at her. But it is not the way one looks at a person who is liked or admired, but rather a gaze aimed at things that are reminiscent of something else, which is somehow.

Sekala was convinced that Astari did not like him, and Kinara completely misunderstood.

Actually, it doesn't matter if anyone misunderstands Astari's attitude towards her. Anyone, just don't Kinara.

Seeing the girl so eagerly match her to Astari, and even saying she would be a supporter for their relationship, made Sekala's chest ache.

For, it was not Astari that he wanted, but Kinara.

I don't know when this feeling started, but Sekala was sure that she wanted the girl. More than just a desire to have, Sekala wants to continue feeling at the girl's side to make sure that she is safe. That nothing else could hurt his fragile heart.

As long as she loved Kinara, that was all she knew.

"It seems that you just say I am not sensitive, but you yourself are not sensitive to my feelings, Kin." He murmured, before his car drove faster through the deserted road.
