A Friend from Malaysia

Little Yuri

"Yuri, I didn't expect you to be like this!!" yola Guided.

Between anger, disappointment, and sadness felt overflowing in his heart, not expecting that this childhood friend would turn into a thorn in the flesh like this.

Yuri felt tight in her heart hearing Yola's accusation.

"Why are you doing this?" ask Yola lirih.

"Hmmm!!!" dehem Lucas's. "This meeting is over. Yuri, let's go!! But remember! I'm a 42% shareholder here. So I'm still coming back and there's something to do with this N-one."

Saying that Lucas immediately got up from his seat and rushed out of the meeting room.

Yuri gets up and tries to follow Lucas, but Yola holds him back. He quickly caught Yuri's wrist.

"Take me off!" said Yuri.

"Can't! You tell me first what really happened! Yuri! What exactly do you mean? Why did you rob my apartment with brother? I really don't think about you! Why are you doing this?!" yola gemas said.

"Deliver!!!" Yuri flicked her hand trying to escape from Yola's stranglehold.

Yuri managed to escape from Yola's check and hurriedly exited the meeting room. But Yola chased him back and managed to catch Yuri's hand outside the meeting room.

"No! I won't let you go until you tell me what your purpose is. Oh my God, Yuri!!! I really don't know you now. What are you doing like this for? What is your relationship with Mr Lucas? Why did you get involved with him? Who is he really? Why was he so ambitious about wanting to take control of N-one? What exactly happened to Yuri???!!" ask Yola hysterically.

Yola hardly paid any attention to the other meeting participants who were in the room . Everyone inside could clearly hear the quarrel of the two friends who were outside the meeting room.

"Get me go, I said! You're right! You didn't know me in the first place, Yola! The last child with a golden spoon in his mouth like you might understand a child born with a spoon made only of coconut shells!You won't understand the life of someone like me!! Your life has always been lucky but not like mine!!!" yuri shouted furiously.

Yola remained silent. He had indeed not been familiar with Yuri for a long time. They were only friends during SD, and also did not forget the three with Friska. The friendship of the three began to stretch when they had started entering First High School. Although Yuri had one school with him, they were no longer one class, because of the school rules that applied the superior class system at that time. Yola and Hafiz entered the seeded class but not with Yuri. The class difference again made Yola and Yuri even more distant. But what Yola doesn't understand right now is what Yuri's words mean that Yola is different from her? That Yola was born lucky while she wasn't? As far as Yola is concerned, Yuri, her best friend during Elementary School, came from a family that was quite capable. Then what did Yuri's current words mean? What kind of misfortune was Yuri referring to?

"What do you mean Yuri?" ask Yola. "Explain to me so I can understand! I have always tried to understand you. It even helps you to hold Hafiz accountable for your pregnancy. But .... "

Yola stopped her words for a moment and looked at Yuri with a suspicious look.

"Don't tell me that your pregnancy was a lie?" guess Yola doesn't believe it.

Yuri did not answer. Now he let go of Yola's hand that blocked his arm. His attitude answered Yola's question. Her pregnancy as a result of Hafiz was just a lie.

"You lying?" yola asked still in disbelief.

"Yuri!! Let's go!!!" lucas' orders were still waiting at the end of the corridor.

Yuri chose not to answer. Free, Yola would not understand anything and would probably choose not to understand even if Yuri explained it. Slowly he leaves Yola with a million questions that he does not want to answer.

"Yuri!!!" call Yola frustrated.

Yuri remained unconcerned about Yola. Now the girl stepped out to Lucas. His fate depends on the man.

Yuri Flashback

PLUCK!!!

The little girl looked up at the person who threw her head with that thing. Then he turned again to the thing that was now lying just like that on the shabby mattress where he was lying.

Yuri was 10 years old at the time.

"You're transferring schools tomorrow to Acacia Elementary School" said the woman who Yuri called the mother.

"Moved? But why?" yuri asked confusedly.

"Don't do much! You don't want what a good school and an elite like that?" ask the mother again.

Yuri was stunned for a moment. They are very poor today. And his mother was only a housekeeper in the house of Lord Roberto. Why did his mother transfer him to such an elite high school? Wouldn't that be a waste of money? Instead of moving it to an expensive school that needs a lot of money, wouldn't it be better if he stayed in a cheaper old school but was allowed to go to regular school every day just like the other kids?

Yuri rarely goes to school. I don't know why his mom hates every time she wants to go to school. The little girl was even beaten up just because she was often caught snooping on the children who were studying in the small madrasah not far from home.

Yuri finally nodded. It is free to argue with the mother who is all right beyond the president's words that should not be denied at all.

"If you go to school where you mean, you can go to school every day. You can wear nice clothes, live in a big house. Lots of snacks every day. Wouldn't you?" the mother said she wanted Yuri.

The more little Yuri does not understand the way the mother's mind. Mother who had been cruel to him was it not wrong to want to move him to a good school? Give a lot of snacks and stay in the building house. Whatdoes thatmean? Did his mother get the lottery in large numbers?

"But, Mum. Where do we get money from? Didn't Mom say we didn't have money? I got the lottery, huh?" ask Yuri plain.

The mother smiled.

"Yes, it's time we grab that lottery. Tomorrow you wear that school dress that I gave you! And one more thing, you have a job at that new school!" said the Mother.

Yuri was confused again.

"Can't you go to school there yet, Mom? How is there a job?" yuri asked innocently and innocently.

"Wait a minute!" The mother then left Yuri's seedy room.

Shortly after, he returned and took a picture. Then the mother handed the photo to Yuri.

"You take a good look at his face!" the mother's orders were firm.

Yuri looked at the photo carefully. It was a girl who was roughly the same age as him.

"Who is this, Mom?" ask Yuri. Again asked confused.

"His name is Yolanda Gunawan. She's an International Acacia school. How to approach him. Try to be her friend no matter how you do it. He's gonna be our lottery card. Our success in earning a lot of money depends on your work. Understood?" said the Mother.

Yuri shakes. He did not understand this talk of his mother. The explanation was completely indigestible to little Yuri's brain.

"God!! That's a big boy!" caci the woman. Whatever happens, make him your friend! Mom doesn't want to know. And whatever you know about him just tell me everything! Hear that?" the mother snapped impatiently.

Yuri fell silent. And look again at the photo of the cute and well-groomed girl, very different from her.

"Remember!! Find a way to make him want to be friends with you. And of course don't tell me that mom told you to. Hear that?" the mother warned Yuri.
