“What’s wrong with you, La? Why do you look gloomy?” Arga asked when visiting my house.
“It’s okay.” I replied briefly.
“Someone she had loved for two years came back after repeatedly dumping her.” Kris, my little brother opens his voice.
I glared at him.
How dare the runny boy reveal my secret to others, especially to Arga, someone we just met.
“Is it true? Then, now? Do you take it back, La?” asked Arga enthusiastically.
“What for?” I asked back.
“isn’t he the man you love?”
“Yes, but that was then. Long ago it was his name that I always used in my prayers. But notanymore. My steps to pursue it aren’t as strong as before.” I explained.
“Why is it like that?”
“Because basically a woman’s heart is like a glass. Once it’s destroyed, it won’t be able to return to the way it was.” I replied dramatically.
“Okay, I admit you’re really great, La. You can love him that much and dare to reject his presence that has left too many scars in your heart.” Arga stroked the top of my head gently.
My body froze when he hugged me tightly – occasionally his hand patted my back slowly. And I can’t lie to myself if I’m comfortable in his arms.
“Uhm.” My mother and Kris cleared their throat as if to realize Arga and I were not alone in this place. Arga and I let go of our arms with awkward faces.
“I promise, La, I’ll make you happy with John. Just wait for the time,” said Arga comfortably.
***
Promises are promises that can turn into short. The same as the promise that was spoken from the lips of the man who had the thin beard.
Arga could not keep his promise to make me happy with John because it was Arga and I fell in love with each other.
Yes, I was trapped in an uncertain feeling when I was with Arga. My heart raced fast when the owner of those black eyes looked at me deeply.
Ever my hopes for Arga just broke off when we were on video call and he said if we were enough to be friends, nothing more.
I thought maybe this story will end the same as my story witu Joe where I have to sacrifice my feelings, again.
But my hope come back too bloom when my mother showed me her short message with Arga. My heart jumped with joy when Arga said that he loved me.
He even said that I was very beautiful when we were on video calls. Even though at that time I was covered in sweat because I just played basketball at school.
Oh God, I have never felt this extraordinary turmoil.
I’m too happy because I feel loved by someone I love.
Until then, the moment when Arga came to my house – he asked permission from my mother to take me for a walk in the lake near my house.
Of course my mother allows that.
Arga and I walk side by side.
We sat in lounger near the lake, the atmosphere of the lake is quiet with the sun in march shining around. The trees that grew not far from where we were sitting began to bloom, their fragrance was fragrant – adding to the romance of this atmosphere.
“Ella.”
“Hm.”
“Hey, get used to you staring at the face of this interlocutor.” Arga protested.
I turned my face to look at Arga’s face.
My eyes widened when I found a springy object that had stuck to my lips.
Arga kiss me?
Oh my God, is this just a dream?
Arga took my first kiss.
“Ar…mmppphh…”
I couldn’t continue my words when Arga’s lips started to gently crush mine.
Slowly but surely he crushed my lips gently. I was silent for a long time, finally I dare to return his kiss.
I am quite stiff in returning Arga’s kisses, in my life I have never kissed.
Arga breaks his kiss.
“Arga, I’m sorry, I’m not good at kissing. I…I’ve never kissed.” I admit.
I am very afraid if Arga is angry with me. But what I found was that the man laughed.
“Why?” I asked confused.
“You’re so funny, Ella.”
“What is so funny?”
Arga pulls my waist until our bodies stick.
“I don’t care if you’ve never kissed. So enjoy it.”
I nodded.
Arga brought his face back to me. Our noses stuck together – I could feel his warm breath.
Arga again crushed my lips gently.
With full confidence, I dare myself to kiss him back.
Aww.. what is this? Arga biting my lips?
I explain the kiss.
“What’s wrong?” asked Arga confused.
“Don’t you bite my lips, it hurts.” I replied innocently.
Arga laughed again, this time he laughed louder.
I remained silent as if there was nothing funny to laugh about.
Cup.
Arga kisses my nose.
“Your nose is very flat, La. Different from my very sharp nose.”
I round my eyes.
Did he just tease me?
“Are you teasing me?” I asked did not accept.
“Yes, why?” Arga actually challenged me.
“Just wait, I’ll punish you later,” threaten me.
“How will you punish me?”
I was stunned for a moment.
It is also true what Arga said. How will I punish Arga? While this man was too naughty to be punished.
“Is it like this?” Arga kisses my lips again, he crushes mine – sucks and takes a small bite.
“Ah…”
Damn it! What just came out of my mouth? Did Arga hear it?
I hope he doesn’t hear it.
But I’m late, Arga’s tongue had already slipped into my mouth, absent my teeth until finally our tongues met.
Arga played with my tongue. While I was confused about how to reply.
“Play your tongue, Baby.” Arga whispered with a sexy tone right in my ear.
I obey what Arga said.
I played my tongue with Arga’s tongue. Our tongues danced to eache other long enough that we felt uncomfortable making out in this scorching sun.
Arga and I end our kiss.
“La.”
“Hm.”
“Will you be my girlfriend?” asked Arga.
What is this stupid question? Why is he asking questions with obvious answers?
If I don’t want to be his girlfriend, why would I kiss him?
“Wasn’t the answer obvious when we kissed earlier?” I asked back.
“You accept me? Are we dating now?”
I nodded firmly.
“Yes!” Arga looked happy as he threw his first into the air.
He hugged me tightly, then we walked home holding hands.
It is true that saying, someday someone will be there to erase your past wounds. And now I believe it.
Arga, someone I haven’t known for long is now present in my life. He seemed able to erase the wounds of my past – the wounds of heartbreak and many rejections.
I really believe that Arga is my soul mate and my true love.
My class situation has started to be quiet, leaving only Isti and I who are still sitting in the classroom. I am still loyal to hear the express feeling of Isti about her father who is seriously ill. Not occasionally Isti cried. I rubbed Isti’s shoulder – I felt how sad she was. Moreover, Isti is an only child. “I am very afraid if something happens to my father,” said Isti while sobbing. “Sttt… it’s okay. Your father will be fine.” I said comfortably – though I don’t know myself if what I said was true. All I know is I want to strengthen her. “I’m afraid if my father will die of this disease, La.”
I comb my hair neatly in front of the mirror. Today is a decisive day where it is the pinnacle of my studying so far to get a position as a student in the medical faculty at my favorite university of choice. So far I have been trying my best to keep learning - taking many try outs to hone my academic knowledge. My cell phone is ringing. A smile rose from the corner of my lips when I saw the name of the sender of the message was Arga. Arga: fighting for today, my dear. I bet you can! ❤ My fingers quickly started typing. Me: don't you wanna come to cheer me up? I smeared the pink lipstick on my lips. I smiled to see the reflection of my face in the mirror. Those people are right, my and Arga's faces are very similar. Are we matched? Ah, I hope. Tiiiiinngg.... Arga: I'm having an event at my campus, honey. &n
My parents' faces lit up after hearing the news that one of the private universities in my city is still open for registration for the nutrition science study program. With burning enthusiasm, my papa took me to the test there. "Pray before starting the exam and keep focused on doing the questions yes," said my father giving me support. I nodded firmly, then walked into the exam room, leaving my papa alone in the waiting room. *** I finished the academic test, physical test, and interview test at exactly two in the afternoon. The worms in my stomach had been protesting because of hunger. Luckily my papa is sensitive to take me to his favorite food stall. We ordered meatballs and chicken noodles an
This afternoon I was neat with my knee-length white dress. I smeared the pink lipstick on my lips.Beautiful. Yes, I'm beautiful. At least according to Arga."Where are you going at this time? Usually at 8 pm I just take a shower," Kris said from behind the door."None of your business, Kris. Go on," I said shooing. Huh, that just ruined my mood."Ah, I know now," Kris exclaimed."What?" I asked confused."You're going on a date with Arga, right?" Kris guessed right."If so, why? You're jealous because you don't have a girlfriend?" I teased my little brother."Why am I jealous of someone who is attached?" he replied."You mean?" I asked, not understanding."A person who is dating or married will have two goals in life, namely to God and to their partner. They will be attached to these two goals and I think it is a waste of time. Just like you now, wasting time on someone who is not necessarily your d
Arga and I checked out of the hotel at 11pm. Yes, we didn't stay overnight because we were afraid my parents would scold me.Arga and I arrived home at one in the morning, stuck in traffic along the way."Do I have to go into your house to say goodbye to dad and mom?" asked Arga quietly.""No need. They must be sleeping by now. It's already early morning, I want to go home so I can rest soon," I said while tiptoeing to caress Arga's curly hair.Arga put his lips to mine -- bit my lower lip -- stuck his tongue to be able to dance beautifully with my tongue.Arga's hand ignorantly entered into my bra, playing with my naughty nipples."Why are your nipples so cute, honey?" Arga said with exasperation.Arga's left hand entered my panties, inserted two fingers into my pussy hole. Ah, how delicious the Arga game is .I don't want to lose. I put my hand into Arga's underwear, played his cock up and down.
Cup. Cup. Cup. I squirm when something soft touches my lips three times. I opened my eyes and I found Arga neat in front of my eyes. "What are you doing so early in my bedroom?" I asked lazily. "Did you forget that today is the first day you enter college?" Is it true? I took my cellphone and saw that the screen was still showing six o'clock in the morning. "It's still six o'clock, honey. Still two hours to go and you wasted two hours of my precious sleep," I said lazily. "Get up or I'll punish you?" Arga threatened me. "It's up to you," I replied lazily as I covered my face with a blanket - hoping Arga would come out of my room and not disturb my sleeping hours. But I was wrong. Arga even got into my blanket - his hands started to squeeze my breasts naughty . "Arga, what are you doing so early?" I asked irritably. But Arga didn't answer me. He was engrossed in p
"Finally finished this task!" I exclaimed while tugging at my veins which had shrunk since yesterday due to the multitude of tasks.I saw my face in my cellphone camera. Gosh, that's bad. My eye bags look black because I haven't slept in two days. Damn tasks that make me have to give up my precious sleep hours.My cell phone rang loudly, displaying the name Arga on the screen. Actually I'm still annoyed with him who didn't pick me up at that time. But the worry that he is seeking comfort in another woman's heart is enormous, especially since he doesn't like to be restrained.I shifted the screen marked green and showed Arga's face there."Hi," he said cheerfully."Hm.""What are you doing?""Do you think my face looks like someone who was relaxing on his holiday?" I asked back.Arga laughed at my answer."How many days haven't you slept, La?" asked Arga who understood how tired I was."Two days," I replied.
My cell phone rings loudly, Super Junior's Superman song comes out deafening my ears. Eyes half open, I reached for my cell phone, saw who called me this morning. Really disturbed my precious sleep time. I exhaled when I knew that the caller was Arga. What else did he call this early morning? can't he call me anytime except during my bedtime? Really annoying. I wiped the screen marked green. "Hm," I replied lazily. "Wake you up, sleeping princess. Don't you remember that you have to go to college?" I was shocked, my body immediately sat upright -- my eyes were rounded when I heard the last sentence uttered by Arga. I glanced at the clock on my cellphone. Gosh, it's seven in the morning. In an hour I should be arriving at class. Arga is still rambling on there - I don't know what he's talking about. "Okay, I'm taking a shower now." That was the only answer I gave before hanging up the phone.
