Arshaka Aruna
Mystery box

"Shaka," called Lea, the woman looked up at Shaka who didn't look well.

Shaka. "Yes ma?"

"Why you?" lea asked worriedly, the woman wiped the sweat that was on Shaka's temple. "Aren't you papa, son?" tanyanya back.

Shaka gave a small nod, the guy smiled. "Shaka is not papa ma, mama is calm" he said as he kissed the back of Lea's hand.

Lea chuckled briefly. "When you know it's not a day or two, you know you're 17, even more. Mama knows something is disturbing your mind right," said Lea.

"There is no ma, Shaka is not papa" Shaka said,

"Mama wants to talk to you" said Lea, the woman sitting at the dinner table. Followed by Shaka who was sitting next to him.

"You dreamt of him?" ask Lea gently. Shaka just fell silent, the guy did not answer Lea's words.

Lea nodded in understanding, the woman stroked Shaka's head fondly. "Bang, you know forgetting the people we love is hard. Especially first love, it's hard."

"But what a hard thing, make your heart open to others. Same Runa exactly," he continued back.

"Well, where do you know?" shaka asked puzzledly, why her mother could find out.

Lea smiled. "Don't know where you know. Mama just wants you to escape him, what the hell makes you can't escape him?" ask Lea.

Shaka shook his head weakly. "I don't know ma, it's hard."

"Nothing is hard, son, you just forget him, and open a new page. You want to stand still here. Why-nothing? No, you certainly can, mama knows that." said Lea, giving understanding.

"Can't ma, if Shaka can. Shaka from lama will do it, but what is the result? Nothing, every Shaka wants to open the heart of the dream back on." Shaka has tried his best, but what can I do? the dream came back again.

"Nobody can in this world. Try, the way you try as much as you can, as much as you can, fight everything. You want Runa to move to someone else? Mama know, Runa is sincere with you, she loves you, you know where it all comes from? from her eyes, Runa was so affectionate and sincere with you." why did Lea say that? he wants Shaka to change his mindset as soon as possible. Before the regrets arrive.

"Now all you have to do is, tell Runa, be honest with her. If you still don't love him, talk for who he is. Without the slightest lie" Lea said.

"Mama always teach you three things right, thank you, ask for help and.." said Lea hang.

"I'm sorry," continued Shaka.

"And what's important?" tanyanya back.

"Say honestly" Shaka replied.

"Good, telling the truth is better than being silent, lest Runa find out the truth from someone else's mouth, it makes two feel very disappointed with you later" said Lea.

"Clearly well, surely Runa understood. Think of everything well lest you regret it in the future. Mama to the room first, it's been awaited papa you." Lea patted Shaka several times on the shoulder, encouraging her son.

Lea leaves Shaka speechless, the guy rubs his face rough, Shaka confused with her now.

"Do I have to tell Runa?" muttered that guy.

...

The condition of the basecamp is so crowded, children flock to the basecamp just to gather and play together.

Shaka, the man prefers to stay silent on the second floor, staring at his friends who are cool playing cards below. The children had invited him to play, but were rejected by him.

The reason is not interested, those who understand finally do not want to force. That's Shaka's right. Shaka inhaled the cigarette and threw it away, no matter how many times the cigarette was used today. Cannot be counted by fingers.

Breathing repeatedly heard, Shaka closed his eyes, feeling very painful pain. Pain that he had been suffering from all this time

Shaka does look strong, firm and firm when in the crowd. But everything is inversely proportional if the man is in the room.

Crying, a Shaka, a male figure who is notoriously cruel, firm, brave, giving up his life for the sake of his dear nangis? Convinced.

Yes, it really did happen, crying in the quiet darkness, accompanied by the sounds of crickets and geckos. Sometimes crying in the room is more fun, like we can throw all the problems that occur.

"Lo's here?" the question made Shaka reflexively open his eyes. The guy quickly changed his flat expression.

Shaka was just a short begumam. "Self lo, join the children" said Rasya.

"No interest," Shaka replied briefly.

Rasya chuckled softly. Shaka's nature is the same as it used to be. It never changes. Rasya chose to sit next to Shaka. Then saying. "Aren't you tired of being chased by regrets?"

"Come on Sa, change, turn into the Shaka I know. Shaka is more open than I used to be. It's not Shaka who is the problem himself like this. You got us-we made up a story." Rasya, that guy really misses a Shaka a lot.

"Night I dream of him again," shaka said so slowly.

Rasya looked at Shaka seriously. Rasya is no stranger to this statement, because in fact Shaka often shares with him about this dream.

"So much the same dream?" ask Rasya.

Shaka could only nod weakly. "Yes, it's still the same dream, there's no change" Shaka said.

"Why yes, when I want to open my heart to someone, he returns to my dreams.that makes me hesitate to open my love." said Shaka.

Rasya nodded slowly. "Gue is not sure deh Sa, like your dream is just as a benchmark, so you can not open your heart again. I'm sure Qilla will be calm there. He must be happy there." Rasya.

"Gue doesn't know Race,"

Rasya patted Shaka's shoulder twice. "Think of all good, inget not to be sorry for a second time. I know you can, I support you from here." After that Rasya chose to leave Shaka alone.

...

This is Runa's last holiday, because tomorrow school has begun. This holiday, Runa spent watching movies, learning to cook, and reading novels. And today, Runa decided to clean up the room, all while decorating the room a little. So as not to get bored.

"Rone!" arfan shouted from outside.

"What?!" Runa shouted no less loudly.

Arfan stood in the doorway. "Who else is it?" ask Arfan.

Runa lifted another lap. "Beres-beres, what's up Bang?" ask Runa back.

Arfan manggut-mangut understand. "Yes, I went to college first yes, there is a class in half an hour. Mother has already left for the shophouse, he said he would be overtime because of a lot of pesenan." Arfan.

"gue left first, yes, Mother had made lunch on the table. Do not forget to eat, be careful if you arrive late to eat geu, get ready lo!" point Arfan while threatening.

Turning his eyes puffed, Runa said. "What investigation? I'll eat, brother class spirit, today's work isn't it?" ask Runa.

"Work, it'll be a little late afternoon. I'm leaving first, yeah, on deck!" pamit Arfan did not forget to give a sweet kiss on Runa's forehead.

Runa replied by peeping Arfan's hand with the back of his hand. "Ati-ati ya Bang! The work should be uplifting,"

"Surely dong, assalamu'alaikum!" Arfan turned around, stepped away leaving Runa's room.

The girl resumed her delayed activities, not to forget also Runa arranged books and changed bed linen and pillowcases. Until it did not feel like an hour had been spent to clean the room.

Runa chose to go downstairs to take her lunch, but her steps were held back by the sound of a bell ringing loudly. Runa frowned, who is the buzzer during the day?

Who originally wanted to take lunch, Runa paused. Put his foot in the door. The door opens, Runa gets a package box.

Staring at the box for a long time, Runa turned to the right to the left, ascertaining who sent the package to her. No people, just the sound of a motorbike passing by in front of his house.

Squatting, staring at the box, flipping through the box, seeing the name of the sender or something like that.

"For Runa?" said Runa read the writing plastered on the box.

"Make me? Is this my order, huh? no way like, when my brother who buys goods online for me, he will rarely buy online like this." Runa was astonished.

Because Runa was curious about the contents of the box. Runa decided to bring her in, slowly but surely Runa opened the box patiently. Runa gawked, staring at the contents of the box.

Blank.

There's nothing to it.

Just a white paper coated by a brown envelope. Runa tore the envelope slowly, until a photo was clearly displayed there.

Again Runa was astonished. Why would anyone send him a photo. "the photo? Who's picture is it?" mumbled wondering.

Long enough, Runa stared at the photo in her hand, flipping through it several times. Make sure he gets back. Because long enough to think about the photo, Runa decided to keep it.

Most of the people in the photo were also beautiful, sweet, and seemed to be younger than Runa. Around the Junior High? Mabe.

Runa went back to the kitchen, threw away the box and continued the cut-off lunch. With vegetable soup and fried chicken.
