Section 13

9 Years of Silence

Keira holds Arkan's shoulder.

"HUH? MUMMY??? HAS HE??! NO ONE?!!" Novia was surprised.

"Yes." Yeah." Arkan.

"Gua gatau's... My condolences to Arr." Novia.

The look on his face changed. Feelings of shock and confusion into one. After Novia counts all the groceries Arkan And Keira. He asked Arkan.

"Adr? Can you tell me everything?" Novia.

"Can, just don't dalem. Let's talk outside..." Speak to Arkan calmly.

Arakan? That calm... What makes him so calm. Not as usual. His calm speech made Keira surprised.

Then Arkan and Keira came out, and sat on the bench in front of Alfamart.

"Before the cave apologize first yes, the cave ga ngikutin funeral Mother lu Arr." Novia.

"Yes gapapa." Arkan.

"Your mother is sick Arr? How could he die?" Novia.

"Engga, Mother died from a tragedy collision. I dug the cave that morning." Arkan.

"DID?!! THAT'S... DENGER CAVE. THAT'S IN FRONT OF THE MARKET, RIGHT?" Novia.

"Yes. How about it again. That's the way, it's destiny." Arkan.

Novia surprised. He already thinks Arkan's mother is his own mother. Because he was with Arkan from childhood.

"Yes. You are patient, Arr. Tau lu gua is strong. The spirit!!!" Novia.

"Yes, I was happy there. For now the cave just needs your prayer Vi." Arkan.

Look at Arkan who's grown up. He was a little amazed by his thoughts.

"Yes always, Arr want to drink water?" Novia.

"By, Ambilin two yes Vi. Make Keira one." Arkan.

"Okay." Novia.

Novia goes into Alfamart to get water.

"Eh this is your name Keira?" Novia said while giving water.

"Yes, Salken Keira." Keira.

Eventually the two of them (Keira and Novia) shake hands for the first time.

"Yes, Salken Novia." Novia.

"Eh Vi, are you still in college?" Arkan.

"Still, work here also for the side to know how it feels to find your own money." Novia.

"From the beginning you never changed... Self." Arkan.

"Yes, now you also have to be independent Arr. Don't forget the best doain for mom too. Your school is still going on, right? Didn't you drop out of school?" Novia.

"Yes, Engga. Ga broken... If you want to break up, stay 1 year." Arkan.

"Good enough." Novia.

"Eh cave to dalem first yes. There are some that have not been bought." Arkan.

"I'm waiting here, Arr." Keira.

"Yes." Yeah." Novia.

Then Arkan went into Alfamart. His curiosity made him dare to start the conversation.

"Sir Novia?" Keira said to me.

"Yes? Why Kei?" Novia.

"Novia's sister Arkan?" Keira.

"No, I was Arkan's friend as a kid. From small to grade 3 SD. Deket only for a little while because right then I have to move out of town. So yeah want to gamau I'm the same Arkan must separate, even though it's familiar." Novia.

"Yes, Arkan has been that way for a long time. But a very plain little fit. How come you're so decked out with Arkan? Sampa nemenin shopping. You know old?" Novia.

"So want to see Arkan small fitting deh. Don't kayak now nggeselin. Yes deket. Haven't known you for three months." Keira.

"I was a little bit pangling to see him (Arkan). You may not have known three months... How did you know her at first? Kepo. She never had a girl's friend." Novia.

"Beginning familiar? Long story long, brother." Keira.

"The Seru nih horrified the journey of life. How about." Novia.

"From the beginning... Originally from Class 4 SD. From grade 4 SD to grade 2 High School we both hold one class. This is why it can usually be for 8 years together and never a group. Also just know each other's names, you know very well." Keira.

"Eh, that's how it is... Rarely do the cake. 8 Years ago but only know the name. His name is Arkan. The cake is the man. A bit lazy to know new people unless you know the same. How does that know him? How can you know? You're the same Arkan isn't familiar." Novia.

"Yes, but the cake he's playing knows new people because of himself, brother. He's been since SD on the bad boy stamp. Very often enter BK si Arkan at Junior High." Keira.

"Ohh yeah? She's she? Bad boy? It's not possible... She was really with her mother." Novia.

"He's at home, brother, but outside is different again. His friend Arkan said that too. Arkan is very affectionate with his mother so he is obedient." Keira.

"Woah, just found out. Arkan did that before. I still play the same game a lot." Novia.

"I don't know about Arkan the Brother, the man is very mysterious. People only know he's a bad boy, but he's not. He's good just the wrong neighborhood." Keira.

"Ohh, Jadi.... You deletin Arkan because of the views of others who thought he was naughty huh? Bener Kei?" Novia.

"Yes, that could be the ales. But really, right? Every human has a heart. Want his naughty senakal Arkan, if he Pake his conscience won't be that." Keira.

"Yes, it's Kei. Btw rada surprised fit denger if Arkan was in the stamp of a bad boy. Eh Kei you know Arkan when his mother died? Haven't you?" Novia.

"Yes, almost everyone thinks so. I don't know about Arkan's mother even talking about her cake. I forgot the. I knew Arkan when his mother died, I didn't see exactly what happened to Kak but I saw in front of the market a very large gathering people, There was also 1 truck that stopped in the middle of the road, and then there was 1 truck that stopped in front of the market, So the streets are jammed. I fit it again want to go home jogging. Jogged more precisely. That's why I squirm Arkan with his mother lying in the middle of the road. But that's right... Arkan collapsed. He called his mother. His mother was taken to the hospital. Well, Arkan I'm the one who takes care of. I also drink. Really kasian. Pucet face. I also went to the Arkan nemenin hospital. And the body too. Temen his friend also came but only 15 people, I want si. And from that horrible incident, I knew Arkan. So temen that time. The suggestion about Arkan is always bad turns out people are wrong. That's why Kak originally told me, although it sounds different to people. I know him because I'm nolongin' him." Keira.

Then Novia wiped her glassy eyes and almost shed tears as she said....

"Thank you Kei. I am so thankful that you were at that time. Arkan will forget you. Believe me the same... Although Arkan later had a girlfriend he would not escape the incident. He will never forget the first person who broke him. Time he's down." Novia.

"Yes, I saw that part of the time, it was just in it. But, brother, there are so many people who say that. The first nolongin, who nemenin him from the slump. Many say that." Keira.

"Emang really Kei what they say, Bayangin only if Arkan ngehadepin all by themselves. You can bundle people. Arkan only has his mother. Well, even though he's got a lot of cement in his barrel. But the love of a mother is very different. Maybe it can also be said that for now Arkan again actually learned peace with himself. You always support Arkan, don't you Kei? She can survive this far." Novia.

"Yes, I feel that way too. Although I also gabisa boong, Kalo Arkan was very sad from his face. Always supportive? Sis, He has his own way, but sometimes he does too. Change change change." Keira.

"today? He looks sad, doesn't he? Oiya, Arkan from a small man is unstable. Although he seems opinionated but in his heart likes to be labile. I know it was from her mother. His mother used to tell me about Arkan." Novia.

"She looked sad when she talked about her mother. Ohh yeah? Labile? I don't know about it yet, probably because it's not too long ago." Keira.

"Yes. 3 Months is not a short time, but 3 Months is also not necessarily a time that can make understand each other. I don't expect anything from you Kei, In the end you will be the same Arkan will be far away or not. Maybe the message for you right now is just. Appreciate the time together Kei. Because you will always keep doing things at the same time." Novia.

"Yes, Brother, I understand. Everything you said I will always want. Learned a lot from Brother Deh, apparently there are people who know more about Arkan than me. But it's okay." Keira.

"Good Kei. But later you're the only person who can understand Arkan. Suck yes, don't overdo it. If you could understand each other that's better." Novia.

"Yes, Brother." Keira.

"Such a sweet people like you meet Arkan deh, Ga boong." Novia.

Arkan looks out and pushes his Alfamart door.

"I'm sorry old Kei, that's the stuff I'm looking for. So it's hard to hear." Arkan.

"Yes gapapa Kok Arr, the important thing that you're looking for has been met, right?" Keira.

"Rarely come here... So gatau where, so often come here dong." Novia.

"Udah met Kei, Yes tomorrow tomorrow often here. Plenty of soda. Ntar come here often." Arkan.

"Ohh, now I love soda. Not most Arr, high blood later on." Novia.

"Yes, he knows. Do you want to go home now, Kei?" Arkan.

"Have you finished talking? Anything else to be obrolin for you, brother? Or your goods Arr? Excite you guys to be familiar." Keira.

"Udah first." Novia.

"Yes, that's how it used to be in obrolin. There's plenty of other time. Thanks to Vi." Arkan.

"It's the same, you two Tiati yaa. Keep getting familiar. Next time I'll see you two stay away, keep the relationship." Novia.

"Yes, Drugs. I'll see you later, brother. Thanks a lot." Said Keira while waving her hand.

"It's nice to see Arkan growing up. Many things make him mature to this day, because of his mother. A lot of time was missed because of a situation that befell him had to go to the city. This time he really grew up alone without a backrest. In darkness and saturation. My words can't get to your ears, I'm sorry." Novia said after seeing Arkan leave Alfamart.

"After today's meeting, it taught me to keep learning, it turns out that there are many different faces and viewpoints about you. There are many changes that you have experienced from your childhood. There are a lot of secrets you keep alone. There are still many stories you hide. What do you mean. Even though I know. Many realities come without you asking. And now circumstances ask you to stay strong and keep going through the day as you always have. You're in someone else's eyes that valuable." Said Keira after leaving Alfamart.
