LOVE AND HATE
Episode 11

Raka rode his motorcycle in the rain and headed for a quiet road, a night that brought pain and disappointment wanted Raka to spend in the rain and silence of the night.

In fact, Raka used to avoid lonely roads like this, but this time it was different. Raka No matter what danger she is in, even she desperately wishes for the criminals to come and if they could kill her tonight.

Raka stopped the bike, got down and walked a few steps, just a little away from the starting position, the steps felt very weak and difficult to walk, as if the spirit had decreased, Raka was sitting limp in the streets, he said, with a speck of rain fluttering his body.

"YYYYARGHSS!!" Raka shouted as hard as possible to let out the emotions in her heart.

"Raka," Raka instantly came to a realization when she heard a familiar voice making Raka turn her head back.

Raka was shocked when she found out that the person was Lidya. Raka got up and showed a cold face.

Lidya looked at Raka with nanar, her tears mixed with indistinguishable rainwater.

"Raka!" Lidya ran into Raka's arms, hugging her tightly. Raka could feel Lidya's sobbing, her body shaking violently.

"Sorry, I can't defend you, Papa was suddenly angry when I came home, he was even more angry when he found out about our relationship, he was going to send me to Japan for ten years, even Papa confiscated my HP, Raka I hope you will forgive me," Lidya let out all her complaints and still hugged Raka's body.

Raka just silently did not hear Lidya's words without wanting to reply to Lidya's words. Slowly Raka encourages Lidya to let go of her embrace.

"Raka?"

Lidya walked over and held Lidya's hand, but Raka thinned Raka's hand rough to make Lidya fall down.

Nothing as bad as a word came out of Lidya's lips, her body shaking, indicating that she was still crying. But instead of Raka helping the girl, Raka left her there alone.

Lidya could only look at Raka's back which was disappearing into the distance. Lidya smiled wailing at her terrible fate.

"I will surely miss you Raka" muttered Lidya in the rain.

"Hows it? Did he accept your apology?" the baritone's voice was clear and close, Lidya turned and found her Papa standing right in front of her.

Adi half crouched down and helped her daughter wake up. Adi wiped away her daughter's tears that had been mixed with the rain that kept flowing.

Adi clasped his hands together on his daughter's face.

But Lidya brushed aside, Lidya was not ready to forgive her Papa who ruined her life overnight. Lidya immediately walked away from Adi who was still standing on his footing towards the car that was waiting for him. Shortly Adi walked after his daughter.

"Sorry Papa," that was the last sentence that Lidya heard before there was finally only silence and the roar of the car engine.

The boisterous sound of laughter of the students together throughout the corridor, it has become a habit if in the morning the students and students sit together to chat with each other.

This morning, Ayu came along with Love and Friska as they promised.

"Lo's sure Lidya isn't angry?" ask Love with a worried face.

"Why should he be angry? We're not bothering him, are we?" said Ayu while looking at Love who stood on the left.

"Lidya we do not bring together the problem," said Friska justifies the concerns of Love.

"Yes, he's nagging the most!" said Ayu while continuing to look forward, while welcoming every student who greeted him.

It did not feel like their steps had brought them to the front of the class.

Ayu's gaze left the already crowded class, but there was no sign of Lidya.

"Well at this hour, I haven't come to the kids yet!" ayu's cigar, his feelings are so angry mixed with worry.

Lidya doesn't usually come without telling Ayu first.

Bek reads, Lidya never shows her nose, before the teacher enters Ayu's class takes the opportunity to contact Lidya and ask a little about what made her present today.

But there was no reply from Lidya, making Ayu upset, with the step of Ayu entering the Raka class that was beside her class.

There is no Raka there either.

"So why the hell didn't they come with a gini comp?" inner Ayu.

"Yu, what's wrong? Eh Raka why don't you come?" rozi asked over to Ayu who was standing in the doorway.

"Gue just don't know, so I'm here, the plan wants to ask about Lidya same Raka, uh it turns out Raka also did not come!" said Ayu with her face quite serious.

Rozi knitted his brows, "Lidya? Does he not come too?" ask Rozi.

"I called Raka, but I didn't pick up" David said as he approached Ayu and Rozi.

"Gue too, but Lidya's number is not active" said Ayu, the three stared at each other's phone screen that had no notification of messages or calls from Lidya and Raka.

"Ntar came home from school, stopped by Raka's house, we asked him why he did not come," said David with a serious face.

"Yes, I agree. We also went to Lidya's house" Rozi said.

The bell went home loud until it echoed throughout the school hallway, all the students scattered, this was the third day Lidya and Raka did not come to school. If the matter of Raka Ayu, and others are still confused why Raka did not come while she was healthy, and when they talk about Lidya Raka is always upset.

This confuses the friends of Lidya and Raka. They don't know what's going on.

Until the next day, on the fourth day Lidya did not attend school.

"For the children, today there are new students in our class, moving from the next class, because here there is an empty bench," said Bu Rina their homeroom teacher.

Ayu raised her hand.

"Yes, what's wrong?" asked Bu Rina with a serious face.

"Mom, where is he going to sit? The place is full, why did you say there was an empty bench?" ask Ayu while looking at Bu Rina.

"The bench next to you is empty, so he will sit there," explained Bu Rina making Ayu look up as well as Love and Friska.

"What about Lidya, ma'am?" ask Friska who was interviewing Ms. Rina.

"Lidya has not been in school here anymore, since four days ago, she moved to Japan," explained Bu Rina with a sad face.

"What!" say Ayu, Friska, and Love in unison.

"Why doesn't Lidya know?" inner Ayu.

"Lid, you can go without our ngabarin," Friska said

"So all this time Lidya in Japan?" inner Love.

"Ladyy!" exclaimed a white girl with narrow eyes.

Spontaneously a girl named Lidya turned towards the Japanese girl.

"Sharon, what's wrong?" lidya said as she put her glasses up.

"What are you doing here?" the girl named Sharon can speak Indonesian fluently, although there is little mispronunciation.

"I bought this doll, is it good?" tanya Lidya showed me a duck doll with a ribbon around her neck.

"For your best friend again?" sharon asked, Sharon's eyebrows instantly interlocked.

Lidya replied with a heartbreaking smile.

"Every year, until when do you keep going, Lid?" asked Sharon who was also sad about the condition of her friend.

"When did your Papa let you go home? Does he not miss? For three years he never came to see you once!" said Sharon who can't stand Lidya's condition.

Every year Lidya buys birthday gifts for Mama, Papa, her sister, and Ayu. This makes Sharon's empathy appears, he is very upset and sad about the state of Lidya. For three years, Sharon and Lidya together, Sharon is a smart girl who speaks Indonesian.

"Later if I have permission to make a company in Indonesia, I will take you to Indonesia, no need to wait seven years I know you must miss your family, friends, friends, and your country, its signature food, and everything about Indonesia, right?" sharon asked with great seriousness.

"No need, this is a punishment for me, and I have to live all this, I know that behind this there is wisdom that I can take," said Lidya, his heart was completely broken, the longing that haunts him makes him quite miserable, but Lidya tries to review the smile even though it is subtle.

"Well, let's go back to the inn!" lidya pulls Sharon's hand.

"In addition to family and friends, I also always miss the person who has always been my spirit, he is the most valuable after my family, RAKA I MISS YOU," Lidya said.

Time continued to roll without giving a chance to repeat everything, a man with a tall body seemed to stand on the edge of the Roftoop to meet the city at night.

Her tears rolled down her cheeks.

"I've loved, but never this deep, I never thought that deep love would bring such deep wounds, too" the man held a photo sheet, a picture of a girl with glasses seemed to be laughing with a book in her arms. It was a picture of Lidya.

The man raised the photo, looking at the worn-out photo.

A clear smile reviews, it hurts, pretends to be happy and as if nothing happened. It makes the heart tormented and only adds to the wound.

Raka is different, since the incident three years ago, Raka did show happiness, but friends and family know, he is not happy, just pretending. That's what Raka did.

"Lid, I miss you. Honestly I didn't know it was going to end that night" Raka muttered as she looked at the photo in her hand. No tears more flowing profusely wet the cheeks considering all the events before.

My heart is already attached to you who never heed my presence. Don't make me go, don't force me to stop! If you hate me for this, it's your business. And for Lukaku this time, it's my business.
