Ara simply threw her phone into the bed, then threw her body with a pouting face. He had taken a shower and dressed, just changed his clothes and he was ready to go. But unfortunately, Eagle just called him and said that the man could not go because he had to take his mother.
If it was about Bu Rini, of course Ara could not do anything. Retrieving her phone, she tries to contact Keyla. Wish his best friend could accompany him to the bookstore.
"Sorry, Ra, my mom's still not well. So, I can't go. Sorry, yes," Keyla said across the phone.
"Oh, yes, Key. No papa, really. I am even the bad one. Sorry too, yeah."
Ara let out a long sigh as the phone call was already cut off. "Did I take Gusti, huh?" He seemed to be petrifying, but the next second he immediately shook his head strongly. Nah! Ara won't take Gusti. Better he went alone than later had to obey the request of his sister who was too good at taking chances in narrowness.
Waking up from her sleep, Ara put back the dress she was about to wear. His hand now turned to open the other closet door, then pulled the plain white oversize shirt. After combing her hair to make it look a little more presentable, Ara grabbed the keys of the motorbike as well as her jacket. Yes, Ara decided to go to the bookstore alone. He did not want to waste his time just because his lover could not.
With a face made as normal as possible, Ara stepped foot into the bookstore located in a mall. As always, though there will always be a discordant voice belonging to an unknown person whenever seeing someone else go alone. Maybe the campaign of normalizing people going alone should be echoed from now on.
As a woman, of course, Ara who is now in the bookstore does not go directly to the shelf where the book she wants to buy is located. Ara first covered her favorite part, the novel. Yes, the long-haired girl was one of the fans of the novel. Fortunately, there are now many online novel provider platforms so he does not need to spend a lot of money to fulfill the desire to read novels.
After taking a novel that feels interesting, Ara has now searched the shelves displaying hundreds of books tips for facing the college entrance exam. "Which one, huh?" Ara looked confused. Every book has its own flaws and advantages.
"Ah, yes!" Ara snapped her fingers. He remembered the book he had searched yesterday on the website of the bookstore. The exercise book of questions that also has a summary of the material in it.
With an expanding smile, Ara who has now managed to find the book in question breezed towards the cashier to pay for it. However, before he arrived, a quite familiar voice was heard calling out his name.
"Mom!"
Ara turned her head, then showed off a barrage of white teeth knowing who was calling her. "Hi ...," she said. Ara was confused as to what the man who was now standing in front of her had to call. His age is definitely older than her. So, Ara is not happy if you immediately call a name.
"Call names directly is okay," said Darma as if knowing Ara's mind.
"Ouh, yes, Darma" said Ara awkwardly because since childhood he has been accustomed to calling older people by not saying his name directly.
Darma chuckled at hearing that. "It's weird that you call my name. If you still want to call 'heh' aja," he said still with laughter on his face.
"Well?!" Ara was unable to hide her surprise.
"Udah, forget it." The man raised his shoulders indifferently. "What book are you looking for?" tanyanya quickly switched the conversation.
"Ouh, this .. I've got the book, anyway, just pay for it."
"Same, dong. I'm paying too. I pay here."
"Eehhhh, don't." Ara was shocked instead of playing when Darma suddenly snatched the book in her hand. "I pay for it myself, please."
"No need to wear anything bad. That yesterday was not even six hundred thousand, really. So, I want to pay for this book." Darma idly held up Ara's book high so that the girl could not reach her.
Ara snorted annoyedly. His face was already red with a manyun lips due to his annoyance at the man who was now smiling happily. "Can you, no need to say six hundred thousand more?!"
"Lhoh, the first one said 'you." Darma seeks justification.
"Yes, but I told you that I've taken it."
"Yes, yeah. I just want to repay your kindness, really. Udah, yes, you wait in front of me to pay for the book," said Darma, then walked to the cashier.
Ara let out a long sigh, then took a long step until she finally stood not far from the exit waiting for Darma to finish the book payment.
The girl quickly grabbed the tote bag containing her book that Darma had given her. "By the way, thanks, yes," said Ara sincerely.
Darma just nodded. "Where else are you going?" she asked as she and Ara walked out of the bookstore.
"home."
"Going home? Eat first, yuk," asked Darma who did feel his stomach rumbling.
To be honest, Ara just wanted to avoid Darma because somehow she always died lice while with the man. Like now, when his mouth says no, but the rest of his body just seemed to tell Darma that he was lying.
Kruyuk
Ara closed her eyes. Cursed in the heart, scolding his own stomach. While next to him, Darma was already unable to not laugh.
"It's like saying no laper. Come on, come on, eat!" Darma without permission had already pulled Ara's hand into a Japanese restaurant.
"You're doing sushi, right?"
Ara nodded. Although not a person, Ara was grateful because her tongue was not kampungan. His tongue and stomach match food from various countries such as Thailand, Japan, Korea, to Western food because the only thing that does not fit is the contents of his wallet.
After ordering some food, Darma got up and said, "I went to the toilet broke, huh?"
Back Ara just nodded. When Darma was out of his presence, he opened the bag. Check his phone who knows there's a message from the Eagle. Ara exhaled deeply seeing the absence of any notification. His pouting face had now suddenly changed by a hundred and eighty degrees when he saw who the man who had stood before him was.
"Mas Eagle ...."
"Ra, what are you doing here?" The eagle stared in wonder because the restaurant where Ara was now was quite expensive for the size of the girl.
Ara looked puzzled and that made even more Eagles suspicious. Especially when the Eagle saw a bag that he believed belonged to a man was at the table where Ara was sitting. "You're the same guy?"
"Mas, this is not what you think!" Ara's tone slightly raised.
The eagle chuckled at the reaction of his lover. "I just can't take you to the bookstore, but you're playing behind me."
"Mas, I went to the bookstore alone. You see this." Ara showed a tote bag containing her book.
"Why do you keep doing it here?" asked the intimidating eagle.
"I ... I was accidentally ...."
"Sorry, can you step aside? I want to sit."
The sound from behind him made the Eagle turn his head. "Sir Darma." He was surprised to see his boss who had several months switched duties to become a marketing director.
"You," said Darma flatly. Of course he knew the Eagle because while being his subordinate several times they were meeting together.
"Ra, do you know Mr Darma?" asked the Eagle to soften.
"Yes, I know Ara." Darma answered. "Ara helped me a few days ago. Therefore, in return I want to practice him eating here. Are you ready Ara?"
The Eagle replied, A voice took over the attention of the three.
"Lhoh, Lang, how come you're still standing here?" ask Ajeng.
Like a thief who was caught red-handed, the Eagle now just lowered his head without knowing what to say.
Meanwhile, Ara, with her voice, said, "I just found out, Mom, if your mom has changed now."
