The Lost Sky

Raka attended the class without much talk, but actually all his attention was only on Aira. Just look at how the young man kept watching Aira sitting by his side.

"Why?" tanya Aira whispered. He was clearly aware of Raka's gaze that had been fixed on him from earlier.

"Nothing," Raka replied in a whisper.

"Continue?" ask Aira again.

Understanding with the intention of Aira's question, Raka immediately replied. "Just want to see you" he said casually.

"At home you can," responded Aira staring back at Raka.

"None alike!" said the young man stubbornly.

"Whatever," Aira said not to bother. It's up to Raka to say what, the important thing is that she doesn't make trouble.

"Go around first, will you?" tawar Raka's. "Eat cake, play cake, or do anything, whatever!" continued the young man hopes to be able to walk with Aira alone, not just be able to go home and go to school every day.

"OK," said Aira agreed.

"I can't believe it's that easy?!" tukas Raka pleased.

"Oh, so you want me to just say that?" reply Aira.

"No, I just thought I'd have to persuade you first you want to." grinned the young man.

After school, according to the agreement, Raka and Aira did not go home immediately. They walked around with no purpose at all. Just go around, eat, and do other things. Raka also took Aira shopping, filling food she said.

Aira's phone vibrated in her pocket, the girl took her phone and received the call immediately. "Hello," said the girl starting the conversation.

Raka was curious, who called Aira at this hour. Is his best friend or even his lover. But the young man suppressed his curiosity and busied himself to choose foods that were easy to cook.

"What's wrong?" raka asked after Aira closed her call. "Is there a problem?" ask again.

Aira put on a faint smile. "No, only an acquaintance was involved in the matter," Aira reasoned.

"If you need help, say so. I will try to help as much as I can," Raka said trying to share the burden with Aira.

"Thanks, I appreciate your words," Aira replied.

"Don't take this for words, Ra. I can help even if it's not much" the young man said quickly.

"Come, turn. I'm tired," Aira said, bringing Raka back and finishing their shopping.

Along the way, Aira just kept quiet and stared outside. Raka also felt that she could not interfere too much in Aira's affairs if the girl herself chose to be quiet and take care of everything herself.

Once at Raka's residence, Aira immediately went to her room with the excuse of feeling a little tired. Raka agreed, telling the girl to rest and not have to think about anything. At midnight, Aira got up from her sleep and changed clothes quickly. Black clothes are also the choice of the girl. He has to get things done before it becomes a big deal in his revenge plan. The girl snuck out easily and immediately ran her affairs.

"Khe-khe-khe, look who's coming?" piety welcomes Aira's arrival to an abandoned warehouse. "I can't believe it's this easy to get our boss's most liked lead character to come" he said.

Aira was silent, counting the number of people she had to settle down in the shortest time possible. There were ten people surrounding him, he was sure there was an equal number of people hiding somewhere and stalking him if he put up a fight.

"Why just this?" asked Aira coldly. "Am I taking that for you?" the question again accompanied by a mocking smile.

The big-bodied men even gritted their teeth hearing Aira's words. What number they can't take is a little girl who doesn't even have a gun. "Don't be arrogant! Don't underestimate everything in this world?!" shouted the head of the angry plontos.

Aira shrugged her shoulders lightly. "The same goes for you," he replied without any fear at all.

Infuriated by everything, they attacked Aira blindly. Too upset is taken for granted by a little girl who doesn't even know how cruel the world is.
