A Light After Dark
Jealous

"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.

The two Chayra companions were astonished to see Chayra standing with a foresight. Talina and Khansa followed Chayra's perspective. But they found no awkwardness. Khansa eventually tries to resuscitate Chayra.

"Ra." said Khansa, patting Chayra on the shoulder. But Chayra gave no response at all.

"Ra." continued Khansa still trying to resuscitate Chayra. Again Chayra did not respond.

"Try once again Sa, who knows he's conscious" Talina said. Surely Khansa tried to resuscitate Chayra once again. Maybe this time I should use a little energy.

"CHAYRA!" khansa shouted. Some visitors look towards them. Precisely due to the screams of Khansa made Chayra aware of his daydream.

At that moment Chayra gave a sharp look to Khansa. Even Khansa returned Chayra's gaze sharply. While Talina just smiled at the behavior of her two friends.

"His gaze does not see what the eyes are. Meningan now we continue the road to go hungry late at night" said Talina gave advice. They finally continued their journey. But Chayra had not been able to forget the incident she had just experienced. Until now he was still curious whether it was Shafiq or not? I don't know.

The three of them stopped their steps between the clothes and shoes stand. Talina invites Chayra and Khansa to go to the clothing stand. Khansa quickly agreed to Talina's suggestion. However Chayra chose to go to the shoe stand.

"I'm the same Talina went to the clothing stand. Lo went to the shoe stand, a little if we're done meeting again here." said Khansa gave a middle way.

"But remember you don't mostly daydream. Brought new people know the taste of lo." continued Khansa reminded.

"Yes, really, really lo." Chayra replied with annoyance. Finally, they walked to their respective desirability stands.

When Chayra arrived at the shoe stand, she immediately chose the shoe model as she wanted. He wants to add to his shoe collection. He has always preferred to collect shoes. A few minutes choosing several models of shoes, he finally found a shoe that suits his taste. He also wanted to take the shoes. But there was someone who held the shoe first. Chayra immediately looked towards that person. How surprised he was when Chayra found out who it was. His heart suddenly beat faster than usual. That person was the one who had been present in the past.

Shafiqist. Yes he is the one. He was now looking at Chayra with a surprised look. Likewise with Chayra who is not inferior looking at Syafiq with a surprised look.

"Chayra" Syafiq said with a still surprised look.

"Shafiqist. Why are you here, not in Singapore anymore?" chayra asked curiously and surprised.

"Then I just arrived in Indonesia. From today I officially live in Indonesia" Syafiq said with a smile. That smile that Chayra had longed for. Until this moment that smile never changed.

"How are you doing with your family?" shafiq.

"Well right. How are you doing yourself?" ask Chayra.

"Well too. Oya Ra, I can't talk to you much. You see, I still have business." said Syafiq. Chayra also only replied with a nod. He left Chayra. Just a few steps Chayra immediately called out her name. Shafiq immediately turned to approach Chayra.

"Why Ra?" ask Sayfiq.

"Who are you coming here?" chayra asked a little doubtfully. Shafiq just smiled at the question from Chayra.

"Boyfriend's name." seduced Syafiq.

"Oh." said Chayra hiding her dislike.

"Yes, your attitude never changes. I always don't like it when I have a boyfriend" Syafiq said with a laugh.

"Ih... It's not funny" Chayra said in annoyance.

"Yes-yes. I'm here with my cousin. Relax I am still single, but do not know if tomorrow." said Syafiq with a laugh. While Chayra is still trying to hold back her anger.

In the morning Chayra arrived at her class. Talina and Khansa were waiting for Chayra. Chayra soon approached her two best friends. Then he sat down next to Khansa. His two best friends just stared at Chayra sharply. Chayra herself was confused by the behavior of her two best friends.

"Why on the look at me like that anyway?" tanya Chayra felt uneasy with the gaze of her two best friends.

"Who did you meet last night? I see you as very familiar with him?" tanya Talina was full of searching.

"Which cowboy?" ucao Chayra was confused. Because Talina did not explain in detail the characteristics of the man she meant.

"That's what you found in the shoes." Khansa replied.

"Oh him. He's nobody, you don't need to know. It doesn't matter either" Chayra said casually.

However, Chayra's answer actually made his two friends look at each other. They were both confused and curious about the man. Chayra is easily familiar with anyone. But once they were Chayra was only familiar with two guys. Afnan and Ardian. The rest are just ordinary friends. But last night Chayra seemed very close to the guy. You could even say they have known you for a long time.

"Why don't you want to tell us. What are we thinking about macem-macem?" khansa urges Chayra to admit who the guy really is.

"Is he your new gig? You want to cheat from Afnan." said Talina with surprise.

When Khansa will urge Chayra to be honest. Suddenly, some students entered the class. It was not because they made Khansa abandon her intentions. Except the topic of conversation that the student was talking about. Yes, they were talking about Klara who managed to move on from Afnan and had a lover.

"Woy Sa kok lo even diem aja" Talina told Khansa.

"Lo didn't hear what they were talking about?" khansa's reply to her two best friends. They both answered with a nod.

"Losing now we check Klara's Ig. I wonder who the hell would want to date people like Klara" said Khansa.

Finally, the three of them also checked Ig Klara on their mobile phones. Sure enough Klara just posted her picture with another guy. Even with how dare Klara tagged the guy.

Seeing Klara's post made the look on her face turn to be disappointed. Not because he was envious, but because of the person who was with Clare. Because Chayra knows that guy so well. She did not expect that the guy would be dating Klara.

"Well this isn't the guy you met at last night's mall?" ask Talina. But Chayra just kept quiet without replying to Talina. He still remembers what the guy said at the time.

"It's a pleasure that I'm single, but I don't know that tomorrow" Syafiq said. Well, the person who is now Klara's lover is Shafiq. It is hard to believe why Shafiq chose Klara as his lover.

"By!" tegur Khansa's. But Chayra remained silent. Without even a word he just left his two best friends. While his two best friends just stared at Chayra's departure in wonder. Chayra doesn't usually act like this.

Afnan and Ardian were walking on the school corridor to their classrooms. In the middle of the journey from the opposite direction there was a man walking in a hurry. He accidentally hit Afnan's shoulder quite hard. To make Afnan not accept and angry at the man.

"If that path his eyes are bent to squirm. Don't just walk away." hardik Afnan to the guy.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it." said the man felt guilty. While Ardian just looked at that person curiously. He felt like he had seen that person, but where? Ardian kept trying to remember that guy. Finally he remembered who it was. That guy looks like the picture Chayra has. Maybe he's the guy who was photographed.

"Where to go to play. Our business is not finished" Afnan said loudly when he saw the man was about to leave.

"But I still have more important business than following your vague will" said the man. He left Afnan and Ardian.

"Woi I'm not done yet." cried Afnan.

"Tell me, let him go. Now we go to class. I don't want to be punished for this." suggested Ardian. Eventually, they continued their journey to the classroom.

The day is getting late, but Chayra has not yet moved from the school garden. Since this morning Chayra deliberately went to school alone. Ever since hearing the news about Syafiq and Klara made Chayra feel upset. He still did not expect why Shafiq could choose Klara as his girlfriend. There are many women who are better than Klara. Chayra took the phone out of her uniform pocket. He opened the gallery app. There he saw a picture of his childhood with Shafiq.

"Gue is happy that you finally have a boyfriend. But I still don't want you going out with Klara. What do you really like about Klara? Why should Klara?" chayra said to herself.

"Maybe it's fate for that person" said someone who suddenly sat next to Chayra. Instantly Chayra looked straight at the guy.

"Shafiqist. Why are you here?" chayra asked in surprise.

Syafiq smiled as he looked at Chayra. But Chayra tried to turn her eyes away. Because he was annoyed by the nature of Shafiq.

"R. We just met, and now you are angry with me. Would you not be happy if I was here?" shafiq stared at Chayra.

"Not that. I didn't think you were going out with Klara. Can't you find a boyfriend other than Klara?" tanya Chayra returned Shafiq's gaze.

"Gue can't do anything Ra. I'm dating him only at the request of both my parents." explained Syafiq. Chayra just frowned, she was really confused by the explanation of Shafiq.

"What is your family relationship with Klara?" chayra asked confused.

"Someday you will know. The most important thing is that I just want to improve our old friendship" Syafiq said trying to shift the topic.

"I really know you" Chayrq said with annoyance.

"Why?" ask Shafiq confused.

"Since you've been gone, you rarely call me. I thought you forgot about me." replied Chayra.

"Where may I forget the same Princess" said Syafiq teasingly.

"What the hell lo." said Chayra as she slapped Syafiq on the shoulder slowly. Then Shafiq ruffled Chayra's hair. Makes Chayra feel annoyed with Shafiq's behavior. But Shafiq just laughed seeing Chayra was annoyed.

***

On one side Afnan saw Chayra sitting with another guy. Afnan himself did not know who the guy was. All he saw was Chayra feeling happy around the guy. Because as long as he's dating Chayra. Chayra was never that happy. He's just afraid that guy's really special to Chayra. Yeah, now he's jealous to see his girlfriend with another guy.
