46. Two Tough Situations.
"Thanks for dropping me off, Bro," Arra said goodbye to get out of the car because the girl had arrived at her school. Giral nodded his head silently making Arra sigh heavily. Arra came down with a large lunch, with a bag carried on her shoulders out of her second sister's car.
Arra had been completely silent ever since. The silence meant was not discussing the fight between Raenal and Giral, how his face had many bruises and many more.
His parents came home tonight, which was very late. And what Arra knows, none of the three of them contacted her two parents.
That's for Arra, Giral, and Raenal to be honest Arra doesn't know either. Whether the two older brothers will choose to remain silent or secretly report their quarrel. Arra smiled faintly as soon as Giral said goodbye, the man started to drive his car to go to his campus and Arra chose to go to class.
Today's offerings are quite a lot, three large boxes that can be enjoyed by more than five hungry people. Arra just sighed heavily without speaking, the woman walked towards her class. No friend goes with him, maybe his classmate hasn't left yet.
Arra left early today, and the girl chose to walk alone to her class with fairly heavy luggage. Five minutes on the way Arra just enjoys a quiet morning, not many students have come yet, but the steps that are about to go up to the floor of her classroom start to be surprised because someone surprises her.
"You went with Bro Giral? Wow!" Arra was surprised by the voice that suddenly walked parallel to her, and took her breakfast to help because Arra saw the man walking with her.
It was two minutes past six, and it didn't surprise Arra that Kevin was already at school. "You set off quickly and prostrate yourself on the stairs?" Arra asked Kevin when his senior joined the first step, Kevin chuckled.
"No, Ara." Kevin walked parallel to Arra's steps, not hiding. "Then?" Kevin shook his head slowly, his eyes began to glance at his luggage which was quite heavy. "Are you having a party?" Kevin asked appropriately.
"So what?" asked Arra back when Kevin asked about the food. "You brought a lot of food," Kevin answered logically, Arra chuckled at that. "Bro Giral bought me lunch," Arra answered as needed, making Kevin nod in understanding.
"Arra," Kevin called, causing the woman to look at Kevin when his name was called. "Why?"
"Regarding yesterday's question, can I give you an answer now?" Kevin asked Arra reminiscing about yesterday's conversation between himself and Arra, the woman laughed lightly and nodded her head slowly. "I don't know if you rejected me yesterday, Sis. So I've prepared myself." Kevin shook his head a little, the man glanced at little Arra.
"I accept it," Kevin replied, making Arra stop her pace quickly, glancing at Kevin with her knuckles and mouth open. "So you mean?" asked Arra again, not expecting and not being able to collect her life and feeling happy to hear Kevin's answer, which seemed sudden but made Arra still unable to straighten her body.
Kevin didn't answer anything, the man only intended to answer him without any other intent, even the man walked to Arra's class and left the woman there alone.
"Bro!!" Arra shouted quite loudly, even her voice echoed pleasantly. Kevin who heard it just walked leisurely leaving Arra running towards him. After arriving, Arra again asked Kevin a brutal question.
"So you accept me as your friend?" asked Arra with a shining face and enthusiastic voice, Kevin nodded his head in response, but Arra's excited response again made Kevin correct him. "Yes."
"Remember, we're just friends and that's nothing more. You're still your junior, and I'm your older brother. there's nothing special we have to share, just ordinary friends. I don't want to be friends with you, you're so weird about everything. Do you understand? Kevin asked again to make sure, the woman nodded her head seriously and happily, there was no change at all, Kevin nodded slowly and put Arra's luggage on his desk.
"Please have a seat," Kevin said giving Arra a way to sit in his chair, then Kevin walked out to his class without a sound. Arra, who was still happy with her feelings, also didn't say anything until time passed quickly.
Break time started, Arra walked to the cafeteria with Vio, Fian told Arra that the boy would follow. Just a message, and since the first hour of class Arra hasn't seen the boy.
"Did Fian also message you if Fian would follow?" asked Arra with food in hand with Vio busy looking at his cell phone. "Yeah, he also just texted me that Fian was going to the bathroom first." Vio again added that if Fian also sent him a message, Arra started to relax and walked leisurely towards the canteen even though it was just the two of them when they arrived at the canteen Vio was queuing for lunch, while Arra took a seat in the usual place when Kevin, his senior-level brother, took a seat.
His footsteps were the same, only from a distance did Arra begin to notice that the man had a small wound at the border of his lower jaw close to his right ear.
This morning, when Arra and Kevin left together, they couldn't be seen because Arra was standing on Kevin's left, and now it's hard for Arra to see the wound. "Are you hurt, Bro?" asked Arra by putting down his lunch-making Kevin shake his head slowly.
"Not."
"Your jaw is injured," said Arra, more firmly than the answer from the owner of the wound. "Just a small wound," Kevin replied, not bothering anything, and chose to continue his lunch. "Compress with warm water, Bro. If you don't want warm water, you can compress it with ice water." Arra again suggested a way to speed up the healing of the wound, but Kevin just nodded his head slowly.
Arra began to join the same table, the woman took out three large boxes of her lunch. There are fruit salads, vegetable salads, and other heavy metals.
"Let's share lunch, Bro?" Arra bargained by opening three lunch boxes, making Kevin glance slightly at Arra. "You ate it all?" Ara shook her head slowly.
"No, that's why let's just share lunch." Arra gave Kevin a vegetable salad by dividing it in half. "This is for you, you want?" Kevin nodded his head slowly and put away his lunch.
"Here, I bought milk for you," Kevin said taking out a box while the strawberry milk made Arra chuckle. "Thank you!!" Arra opened and immediately drank it, the woman opened her large lunch box and divided it into two as before.
"Half for whom?" Kevin asked as Arra painstakingly divided every lunch that Arra brought. "Fruit salad for Vio, and half your lunch for Fian. Fian is a good eater, while Vio likes fruit. I'll share it with them." Arra began to close half the lunchbox in the salad holder and half the dining area. Every food that Arra shared was prepared in a box that was half the size of the previous box.
"Are you sure Fian will eat that?" Kevin asked making Arra furrow her brows slowly. "So what?" Kevin shook his head slowly.
Vio came along with Fian who came with a hand-wound that was piled on the other shoulder, Arra's eyes were shocked when she saw it. "What are you doing, Fian?" asked Arra completely beyond his expectation. "Fall, I fell in the bathroom," replied Fian with a different alibi making Kevin chuckle a little. "This is for you, I brought more," said Arra, giving one of the fruits to Fian making Kevin chuckle.
"Would you like a fruit salad or this, Vio? I brought a lot?" Arra asked Vio making the woman with wide eyes choose half of Arra's lunch, again Kevin was just a watcher who knows everything.
The crowd started to finish their lunch, with Vio eating half of Arra's lunch, Kevin finishing his lunch, and Fian only eating fruit salad from Arra occasionally glancing at Kevin with hate. Arra finished lunch quickly, the girl finished first.
Until he remembers that he has an appointment with someone, and chooses to contact him.
Destination number 'Brother Tyo's, Friend Bro Giral.'
/Bro, can we meet? Today. I'm home at two in the afternoon, what can?/
Arra still didn't get a reply, there wasn't even any sign of the message being read until finally, Arra gave her identity back.
/I'm Arra, Bro Giral's younger sister./
And great, Tyo read the message quickly and replied to it instantly.
/ What is it you want to see me, Arra? Can't Sis Giral pick you up?
Arra smiled faintly and went back to typing something. And went back to thinking about whether he would get into trouble afterward.
/I just wanted to meet you, and apologize that Raenal's arrival at that time made you uncomfortable./
/And, I also want to talk to you about many things. Is it possible?/
There was no answer for a long time, Arra began to worry about the answer and again bit her lower lip waiting for a message from Tyo until Kevin accidentally read most of the messages that Arra wrote.
"What did you call him for?" Kevin asked, breaking the silence that had been created for a long time, making Fian stare at Kevin with hate in his eyes. "Why? I just made an appointment," Arra replied casually, Kevin shrugged lazily and started to stand up.
."I'll go first," he said goodbye, making Arra glance at Kevin with a confused look, while Fian chuckled a little at that. "What did he say yesterday?" he said to himself, even Fian saw how Kevin started the conversation.
Until a message arrives at Arra's cell phone, pulling Arra's previous focus on Kevin back on her cellphone.
/Okay I'll pick you up./
It was Tyo's reply to Arra, but before Arra would reply to Tyo's message, Arra got a sudden message from Kevin.
/What about me if you go home with Tyo? Bro Raenal entrusted you to me to take you home. If you go home with Tyo, will my agreement with Raenal be canceled?/
Arra was silent when she read Kevin's message, so the man was angry with her? Why not say it directly.
