A Light After Dark
Masalalu Has Returned

This morning Chayra had prepared in her school uniform. This time he let his hair down long. Because he always ties his hair. Once everything is ready, Chayra goes to the dining room.

Arriving there, it turns out that his mother, father, and brother are waiting for him. Chayra approached them and sat down beside her brother.

"There was a courier who sent this to you" said Rey, none other than her brother Chayra. Chayra looked towards Rey with a questioning look.

"Thank you first, ntar lo also know who the sender is." continued Rey while handing over the large brown envelope. Chayra hesitantly received the envelope. He put it in his school bag.

"It's a shame that it's not clear. Or a threat to you. You have to cepet say to Daddy or Mommy." said mother. Chayra only responded with a nod. They continued their breakfast in a quiet atmosphere.

"Lo don't have to think too much about it. I'm just asking you not to let Mommy or Dad know about the contents of the envelope." said Rey. Rey is driving Chayra to school in her car. Rey rarely drives Chayra. But if there's anything important and it's about Chayra. Rey must have taken Chayra, as she is today.

"Why is it, brother?" ask Chayra curiously.

"Lo will also know after you open the envelope" replied Rey.

"Why don't you tell me now, sister?" chayra asked increasingly.

"You don't have to argue." Rey replied.

"Yes" said Chayra.

He was getting curious about the sender. Does he have a big influence on his family? Until Rey forbids Chayra from telling her parents. Wait for. Does Rey know about the sender? Maybe he doesn't know. So why didn't Rey tell Chayra right away.

Chayra stared at Rey sharply. Aware of the sharp gaze of his sister. Rey returned Chayra's gaze.

"Why did you see me like that? Yes, I know that I'm handsome." said Rey with the pedunya. While Chayra just rolled his eyes panted.

"Do you know who sent the envelope?" ask Chayra seriously.

"Udah." replied Rey casually.

"Who?" ask Chayra curiously.

"Males I tell him. Ntar will also know." replied Rey.

Chayra could only breathe out her tired breath. Chayra has a big sister who is beautiful. The worse Rey's attitude was so bar-bar.

Upon arriving at school, Chayra rushed to the school park. There he sat alone in the garden seat. After that he opened the contents of the envelope that had been given by Rey. The first thing he took was a photo. The photo reminded him of the incident. Well, she recalled someone she had longed for.

Chayra checked the envelope again. It turns out there is a letter inside. He immediately read the letter.

"Wait me. I'm going back. From Shafiq." Inner Chayra read the contents of the letter.

"Shafiqist. He'll be back. Is he really coming back? All this time he remembered Chayra. Chayra thought all along that she had forgotten herself. I miss the same thing you. I can't wait to meet you." said Chayra while wiping a picture of herself and Syafiq in childhood.

Without Chayra realizing there was someone sitting next to her. Secretly the man tried to peek at the photo in Chayra's hand. At that moment Chayra was aware of the presence of someone beside her.

"What's going on here?" chayra asked in surprise at Ardian's presence beside her.

"I want nyamperin. Btw it's a picture of who, how do I see you like a really nice look at that photo?" ardian asked, starting to wonder.

"It's not important. Yes, I'm going to class first." Chayra replied while packing her things.

Ardian could only stare at Chayra's departure, with no intention of preventing it. He was getting curious about the photo held by Chayra earlier.

"Gue was curious about the photo. Who the hell was the guy that was photographed?" batin Ardian is getting curious. He also wanted to investigate the photo.

In the classroom 12 IPS 2, Khansa was sitting on her own lap. As usual, Khansa always comes earlier than his friends. It has become a habit of Khansa since long ago.

When he focused on the book in front of him. Suddenly someone came in and sat down with Khansa. Khansa looked at the man sharply.

"Well, why are you here? You want to find Chayra? He hasn't come" Khansa told the man in an annoyed tone.

"Gue's not here to find Chayra. But I want to find you." replied the man casually.

"Well, why don't you get me?" khansa asked in surprise. It's not usual for Afnan to come to his class to find himself. Usually he's always looking for Chayra's whereabouts.

"Gue wants to make a deal with you" said the man, more precisely Afnan. Khansa only responded to Afnan's words with a questioning face. He waited for Afnan to continue his words.

"After I married you, I want you to never forbid me to do anything. And you have to let me date Chayra. Because until anytime I will never break him. One more thing I want everyone to know about our relationship. Especially Chayra." said Afnan warned.

Khansa can only breathe out her tiredness. He knows that Afnan and Chayra love each other. He also knew that Afnan's love for Chayra was so great. But what Khansa is doing now. He will accidentally destroy Afnan and Chayra's relationship. Suppose his parents did not match him to Afnan. Somehow if Chayra knew the truth about her relationship with Afnan. He does not want to be labeled as a bully.

"Gue also did not want Chayra to know about this matter. I don't want to make my best friend hate me." replied Khansa agreed to the proposal from Afnan.

From the direction of the entrance, Chayra saw Afnan and Khansa talking. He approached his girlfriend and best friend. Seeing the arrival of Chayra, Afnan immediately stood up and embraced Chayra. Chayra just stared in wonder at Afnan. Because he rarely saw Afnan and Khansa talking seriously like that.

"Tumben you talked to Khansa. Usually when you meet a cat like a dog. I saw you guys seem to be talking about something serious. What the hell is that talking about?" chayra asked as she stared at Afnan and Khansa alternately. Afnan stroked Chayra's head slowly.

"Surely that's it. I can't believe it." said Chayra to tease Afnan. Afnan also increasingly attached his embrace to Chayra.

"Yes if you don't believe it." Afnan replies pretending to sulk.

Khansa could only look at their behavior with her smile. He couldn't have if Chayra would have known the truth. Just to imagine that he didn't want to.

"If you want to date, don't stay here. This food is still in the school environment. You want to get a punishment just for going out in class" said Khansa reminded. Afnan also released his embrace from Chayra's shoulders. After that he left the classroom 12 IPS 2. Chayra just stared at Afnan's departure. After that he sat down next to Khansa.

The break sign bell has rung. All students immediately leave the class. Including Chayra and her two best friends. They immediately walked to the school cafeteria to fill their empty stomachs. When they arrived, they immediately ordered the food they wanted. While waiting for their food to come, they talked.

"Eh did you make me go to the mall?" tanya Talina broke the silence.

"Let's be like we haven't played together for a long time" Chayra replied excitedly.

"It's that you're busy with your boyfriend. Mana sepet lo our same path." said Khansa quipped Chayra. While Chayra just sing his lips hear the words of Khansa. Talina responded by laughing.

"Lo must remember. Don't bring Afnan. I miss him." continued Khansa reminded Chayra.

A few minutes later, someone approached Chayra. It was very obvious that the girl was angry. Evidently he came while hitting the table quite hard. Chayra and her friends were shocked. The chayra immediately stared at the person.

"Ngapain lo dateng-dateng straight buzzing table. You don't think we're surprised what." Chayra said to the girl loudly.

"Not much to say. I remember the same you. Lo far away Afnan or your life is not safe at this school" said the girl who is none other than Klara. Feeling Unaccepted by the words of Klara. Chayra immediately stood up and stared intently at Klara.

"Don't you think I'm afraid of all the old-fashioned threats. I don't care about all of your words. Know lo!" chayra is full of emphasis.

"Gue ngancem you because I care about you. I don't want you to be stabbed with your own best friend." Klara replied with a sneaky smile.

Chayra looked at Klara with a questioning look.

"What do you mean?" ask Chayra loudly. Klara was still smiling with lici. Even he was reluctant to reply to Chayra's words. Seeing the dispute they both made Talina feel uneasy.

"Have you no shame in being the center of everyone's attention" Talina said. But they both did not care what Talina said.

"And lo Klara is dying now that you're out of here." Talina told Klara. Without a word Klara immediately left the three of them.

Chayra and Talina were back in their original positions. But Chayra looked towards Khansa. Usually if Klara annoys Chayra, Khansa is the first to defend Chayra.

"Lo why was Sa kok from earlier on?" ask Chayra curiously.

"Gue ain't papa." replied Khansa briefly. Chayra immediately looked at Talina for an explanation. But Talina just scooped her shoulders. Chayra is convinced that Khansa is having a problem. Butwhat? I don't know if maybe later or tomorrow he'll tell me. That's what Chayra thought.

A beautiful night has now greeted with the presence of stars and the moon shining brightly. In accordance with his promises to his friends. Tonight he was getting ready to go to the mall. Before he left for the mall, he first said goodbye to his parents. Chayra immediately approached her father and mother. It just so happened that they were in the family room with Rey.

"tumben clothes lo neat. Where are you going?" ask Rey full of probes.

"Kepo lo." replied Chayra as she continued to walk up to her parents and sit next to her mother.

"You two are, if you never get along" said mother to Chayra and Rey.

"Sister Rey started first, Bun." elak Chayra.

"Have nothing to say." refute Rey with an upset look. Seeing the behavior of his two children makes the father and mother shake their heads inexhaustible.

"Easy-it." father's wound.

"Chayra these nights where are you going?" ask dad seriously.

"Chayra wants to go to the mall. Same Khansa, same Talina." replied Chayra. Hearing Talina's words made Rey stare at Chayra sharply.

Aware of the sharp gaze cast by Rey makes Chayra return Rey's gaze.

"Talina coming?" ask Rey seriously. Little information. Rey has always liked Talina. Although Rey never told Chayra. But Chayra knows from Rey's attitude towards Talina. You could say he was very attentive to Talina. Even his attention exceeded Rey's attention to him. Unfortunately until now Rey tidal dared to express his feelings to Talina. Chayra herself did not know the reason.

"Why? Lo want to come? Sorry this time I'm not sure you" Chayra replied. Without waiting for a reply from Rey. Chayra immediately kissed the backs of her parents' hands. He immediately stepped in using a thousand steps. Seeing her brother's behavior makes Rey rise in blood.

"Review lo ya!" rey shouted after Chayra left her living room.

***

Arriving in front of the mall, Chayra immediately got off from the taxi he was riding. He immediately ran over to his best friend who had been waiting for his arrival. His two best friends smile at Chayra's arrival. After that, they entered the mall. There are not five steps from the entrance. Suddenly, Chayra's steps stopped, even making her two best friends stop their steps.

Chayra just stared intently at the front. I don't know what he just saw? It was like seeing someone similar to someone in the past. Well, that guy just crossed in front of him. That's why he stopped his steps. If it's true that person Chayra knows. Why did that man not greet him. Even then he was with another woman. Yang Chayra himself did not know who the woman was.

"Shafiqist. Is that really you? But if it's elo, why don't you hit me? Have you forgotten me?" batin Chayra was full of questions.
