Arkan And Keira
Part 9, The Headstone That Reads His Name
Section 9
The Headstone That Says His Name
The day has changed, 1 day that feels very pleasant. I never felt that day. How happy it is to be with you spending time. Although I know if I say "Don't Go, I Want You here." It looks selfish if I say everything. Arkan is a very special person to Keira. What Arkan thinks of Keira.
The next day at school. Keira approaches the Arkan bench.
"Earr." Keira.
"Why?" Speak Arkan in a lethargic tone.
"Tumben was very lethargic answer, Usually also not this sluggish." Keira.
"Ntar deh Kei, Ntar I tell you." Arkan.
"Ih time is hanging, told to wait. Where can't be anymore." Keira.
"Yes yes, Ntar I told you about the break. Talk at a regular Kei's place." Arkan.
"When do we have habits?" Keira.
"On the sidelines of the cake yesterday." Arkan.
"Ohh okay." Keira.
Then they continued their studies at school until the break. Keira can't wait to hear Arkan's story that makes her want to sleep.
The bell rang. Arkan went straight out without waiting for Keira. Keira saw it
"You are so different today." Keira.
Keira did not go out and meet Arkan, he went to the cafeteria first. He bought 2 sodas and 4 unyil martabaks. Then Keira headed to the edge of the school field.
"Eh that's Arkan." Keira.
Then Keira walked over to Arkan.
"Allo Arkan." Keira.
"Hey. Kirain you're not coming here." Arkan.
"When I said that. Keira's time for breaking the promise." Keira.
"Well, what did you bring?" Arkan.
"I? Time to sit down, can sit down first, I'll tell you later." Keira.
"You sit down, sit down hard on Kei." Arkan
"You haven't told me yet." Keira laughed.
"Yes yes, what are you carrying?" Arkan.
"Bring soda, same snack." Said Keira while giving a soda to Arkan.
"Okey thanks, Tumben really buy Kei soda?" Arkan.
"Well, let's get rid of what you're feeling." Keira.
"Yes, yes, Kei." Arkan.
"Why are you? From leaving school his cake was very lethargic, there was no spirit at all. You why?" Keira.
"What a look?" Arkan.
"You may not look at other people but if to me Keliatan, because I've never seen you like this before." Keira.
Keira who always knows, Keira who often find out about him. He memorized it outside his head. Seeing her is lethargic because her world is not good. The longing for his departure makes the day hard, Like a house without lights, He's stuck in the dark, He doesn't want to go out. He's enjoying. Think out but the road is covered with darkness.
"I.... I want to see mom...." Arkan.
The wind whistled, His eyes glazed with his head lowered.
"Earr." Keira.
Keira holds her head, Claps her and Arkan sheds his tears.
"Everything's hard to hold, but these tears keep dripping." Arkan.
"Yes Arkan, You have nothing wrong to cry. No one will say you are weak. Take it all to me, Gapapa Arr. You're not alone, there I am." Keira.
Kamila and Jaka saw it from a distance.
"That's Arkan, isn't it?" Kamila.
"Who else would be like Keira, if not Arkan." Jaka.
"He why?" Kamila.
"If you forget... Since her mother left. Arkan tuh rada different that, Emang very heavy for Arkan. She loves her mother very much. He's at the same house outside the house. If outside the house people wriggle him yes he's a bad boy. But at home, he's completely different." Jaka.
"Where are you?" Kamila.
"I've played at his house. I used to be surprised to see him fit in the house. She was very close to her mother. Maybe in bandingin, Arkan loves his mother more than his friends." Jaka.
"Ohh, I just found out. Sad to see Arkan kayak gini." Kamila.
"Yes, he lost his first love. He's lost his way." Jaka.
"It's lucky to have Keira." Kamila.
"Speaking about Arkan with Keira. You know Mil?" Jaka.
"Why? I don't know too much about them. I know them because of you." Kamila.
"They're both from grade 4 Elementary School already one class, even now. But they're starting to get familiar this new new." Jaka.
"That means for 7 more years they're just dieman?" Kamila.
"Yes, Arkan never found out. 7 Years just know the name." Jaka.
"It turns out there's a cake guy, unique." Kamila.
"Why is it unique?" Jaka
"Yes, 7-year-old Diem can finally get along. Maybe the two of them have been marketing each other just no one dared to start. The story of each other" said Kamila.
"Yes, let's go back to class, let's go Arkan and Keira first. The bells will sound." Jaka.
Arkan is still in Keira's arms. Wiped out her cries. Nothing sustains her grief except Keira.
"Earr. The bells will sound." Said Keira slowly.
Arkan wiped his eyes and cheeks.
"I'm sorry Kei, that's the mood." Arkan.
"Gapapa, next time if there's anything to say yes Arr. The story of gapapa. I am ready to be your listener. How's it? Did mendingan? Tuh tahin first drink." Keira.
"Udah, I'm sorry." Arkan.
Arkan took his drink and finished it.
"Ngerepotin at all Arkan. You are not alone anymore. There is me." Keira.
"Arr, are you really a gapapa? Can you still attend class?" Keira.
"Father, there's Keira." Arkan.
Keira smiled. Then they both went back to class and took lessons.
"Even if I feel how you are now. Do you really need me. But for sure I'm happy, because I'm the one you're looking for when your world isn't okay. For now I'm comfortable with you like this. With you sharing your world with me."
After school, Keira asked Arkan something in front of her class.
"Eh Arr." Keira.
"Yes why? Wanna chat? Arkan.
"Nega, just want it." Keira.
"What's the?" Said Arkan while looking for a seat.
"When are you going to Mom's grave?" Keira.
"Kok you know? I haven't told you yet." Arkan.
"What would you say? Maybe not." Keira.
"Yes, tomorrow. Tomorrow is a holiday." Arkan.
"Tomorrow morning? It may not be morning." Keira.
"Sore, you can come." Arkan.
"Ihh, how do you know. Should have been a stale base first. It's not exciting!" Keira.
"You know, 'cause you're the only one who won't leave me alone." Arkan.
Then Arkan walked to the parking lot and said "Dah Kei I want to go home first."
"Ohh yeah, Tiati Arr." Keira.
Keira was still sitting in front of her class.
"Barusan Arkan said what the hell. Is he really talking about that? Ihh malesin so confused himself. Arkan really likes to make people think." Said Keira before she came home.
Next day. Keira comes to Arkan's house at 14:00.
"Tok, Tok, Tok. Arkan..." Keira said while knocking on the door.
"It must be Keira." Said Arkan while walking to open the door.
"Allo Arkan." Keira.
"Hey. Here in." Arkan.
"Loh?!!, You? You just woke up?" Keira.
"Hmm yes." Arkan.
Looking to the right and left. Keira looked surprised.
"Well, you're done with Arr? It's neat, where it's clean again." Keira.
"Yes, that's why it was done in order to go straight to sleep." Arkan.
"Wih diligently.... Btw cape ga?" Keira.
"Gatau, pack it again. Oh yea. Did you come here in the afternoon to do something? I said it yesterday afternoon." Arkan
"Ohh gabby? Yaudah I want to go home." Keira.
"I'm angry, I'll ask you. Not ngusir." Arkan.
"Yes. I was at the bosen tau house. No talk of. Or at home to do something. Gatau de bosen." Keira.
"Emang if here will talk?" Arkan.
"Ga also si, and gatau also. But if here there is a meeting so it is not alone. You're alone, too, so we're just as alone." Keira said with a laugh.
"Bent awhile.... So we're supposed to fill each other out?" Arkan.
"Ga that's Arr, but gatau also deh. You wake up thinking, Mending drink water first cake, or eat what it is." Keira.
"So, if you're talking about love, maybe you're the only one who knows what it means." Arkan.
"Love tuh tau broad." Keira.
"That's starting. Why does love say so widely? That big ocean?" Arkan.
"Not ocean. Because we will not know how love is. Because of the breadth of love, Love has many points of view, Kek gini for example, Kok the person wants the same him. He is gini... Gini's... Gini's... We can comment like that. Just because he has a deficiency he's not worth choosing, it's so wrong. If maybe for him the lack of it can make fill each other yes... There's no harm. We won't know the true form of love." Keira.
"Yes, Keira looks like a doctor of love." Arkan.
"Ihh you mah instead of permeating even that cake. Gatau lah" said Keira.
"What should I do if I have never had a real love? Serem if you talk about love, let alone discuss feelings." Arkan.
"Arm brand Arr?" Keira.
"Yes serem, just because we have feelings, we get upset, Dariahin, di bakatin. Not even at the peduliin. Cake, does he care about our feelings. While he said, We can establish a relationship without having to exaggerate a friendship. He said that unconsciously he never thought of my own feelings." Arkan.
"They were once rejected by Arr." Keira.
"Engga. I want to be ready" said Arkan.
Then Arkan prepared. Keira's waiting for her. The mood is different again. Silent, Quiet. It was like the atmosphere at the time his mother Arkan died. Keira really felt it.
After Arkan is ready for 20 minutes. Arkan told Keira to put the bike in.
"Kei, your bike just go in, Ntar to the tomb use my motorbike." Arkan
"All right." Keira.
Then they both went to the tomb. On the way they both remained silent. Keira doesn't want to open the story and Keira realizes it's not time for a story. 10 Minutes drive they finally arrived.
They say hello when they enter the tomb. Keira followed him from behind. Walked quietly, until he was in front of his grave. Looking at the tombstone inscribed with his name, inhaling a breath as if why everything was this fast. Cleaning up the grass that had planted on his grave, Sowing flowers on his grave, Praying for him and telling him about his daily life after his mother left. I wish I could hear it through the sky.
After he finished praying his last prayer, Arkan took Keira out of the tomb. While walking...
"Arr, Eh that's kamila with Jaka right?" Said Keira who saw them in front of the door of the tomb.
Arkan remained silent as if his mouth was locked.
"Well, are you guys here?" Keira said to Jaka and Kamila.
"Hehe, Yes." Jaka.
Jaka's hand held Arkan's shoulder and said.
"Kan, don't feel alone... Now there's three of us." Jaka.
Keira.
"Yes Arr, you're not alone anymore. There's Kamila, there's Jaka, there's Me too." Keira.
Arkan smiled and sighed and nodded his head.
