How to Meet a Friend, 2

...That night I met him but I wasn't sure it was really him. Did I see wrong?...

...***...

Raga stands at a bus stop while playing her phone.

"Wooh,"

Someone clasped Raga's shoulder and she turned her head expressionlessly.

Bayu chuckled at his friend who was not surprised in the least.

"I'm afraid of me again." Grouse Bayu.

"What? What a friend." Say Raga flat.

Bayu chuckled, "Which other one?"

Bayu looked around looking for his other friends turned out they had not come. Raga replied by shrugging her shoulders a sign of not knowing.

Bayu was chewing his candy while Raga was still busy looking at her phone screen.

"See what you are, Ga?" Tanya Bayu was curious.

Bayu leaned his body looking at the one on the screen of Raga's phone.

Raga is opening an app called Instagram.

He saw a picture of a girl there.

"Who? Lo's girl?" Ask Bayu.

Raga stared hard at Bayu not like. "Kepo very lo. There's a lot."

Bayu just clucked in annoyance. Not long after another appeared.

"Oi, lama ya haha..," said Abdi.

Abdi one of Raga's friends is a famous outlier. Bayu snatching Abdi's head.

"Long time very lo. Kayak dandan kek girl first lo, in." Bayu.

"Huh, it's only 10 minutes late. Nyinyir very lo cake my mother. I was told to buy a peek at me." Obviously Abdi.

"That's yok. Ridho and Bagas are already locations." Raga put her phone in her pants pocket.

Bus 021 stopped in front of the bus stop and they went up there. Inside the bus is so crowded that it is crowded with each other because it is now a weekend. Raga and her friends did not get a bench because it was full. He split up with his friend to slip into an empty place.

'Well!'

Raga accidentally bumps into a girl in front of her as the bus suddenly brakes. Raga was holding the hand hook that was on top while the girl was holding the iron bench backrest.

"Sorry." Raga said behind the girl.

Raga was unable to see the girl's face clearly as she was turning her back. Raga was sure the girl was the same age as him so she did not need to call polite calls to each other.

Bus 021 stopped at a stop and the girl rushed down. Raga could faintly see the girl's face behind the window of the bus. He was tidying his hair and pulling out something in his little bag. Raga raised the corner of her lips and the bus drove back to remove the girl from her sight.

"Ga, where are the others waiting?" Tanya Abdi who just moved shifted next to Raga.

"In the front of the press." Answer Raga.

Abdi nodded then they kept silent while looking at the street outside the glass.

Raga, Bayu, and Abdi get off the bus. They slightly walked towards the place where Ridho and Bagas were waiting. From a distance Ridho was seen leaning against the wall while smoking while Bagas was crouching.

"Yes!" Ridho Seru.

Bagas lifted his face and saw his friends coming. He's risen. Raga, Bayu, and Abdi were already in front of Ridho and Bagas.

"Udah out 2 cigarettes waiting for you." Ridho.

Ridho is a smoker so if you do not smoke his tongue feels bitter he said.

"Noh, the Abdi dandandand used to be the girl's cake." Sayu Asal.

Abdi was annoyed and immediately shook Bayu's head.

"My sister, add to the work." Obviously Abdi.

"Well, yok, to angkringan, I'm a laper." Say Bagas.

They also went to Angkringan.

Raga only ordered milk coffee because she had eaten earlier. Raga saw the notification appear on her phone.

Raga saw someone just press the like button on her photo. But not long after that person canceled it, making Raga frown confused.

He was curious and pressed the profile of that person. He realized that he knew the man. 'Clara Sekaride'.

The girl I just met three days ago. They are one school but different classes. He helped the girl down from the wall. Raga was initially just curious but unconsciously continued to scroll down the screen of her phone looking at the photos that the girl had shared. The post has not been updated, last time a week ago.

Each photo the girl shared was a photo of the food and clothes she was wearing. Raga thinks it looks like this girl really likes to eat and shop. He subconsciously raised the corner of his lips.

Her friends saw Raga's expression change, smiling alone, looking at her phone screen.

"Who else? Another girl?" Saying the Bayu who peeked in from behind.

Raga was surprised and looked at Bayu annoyed. Bayu laughed with satisfaction because he finally managed to make a Raga surprised. Raga was never or rarely surprised.

"What? To you, bay." Upset Raga pushed the face of Bayu who tried to peek at her phone screen.

"Whatuh? I'm curious too." Said Ridho and took Raga's phone.

Bayu held Raga's hand, while Ridho took the phone. Ridho managed to take it. Bagas and Abdi joined in looking at the Raga mobile screen. Raga surrendered after Bayu was released.

"That's not Clara, my classmate." Say Bagas.

Raga, Bayu, Abdi, and Ridho turned to look at Bagas.

"Lo likes Clara, doesn't he?" Ask Bagas.

"Let's not. Here behind me hp." Raga took her phone back.

"Let's smile look at this girl's photo." Reply Bayu followed the nod of his other friends.

Raga let out a long sigh while scratching her non-itchy nape.

"Gue just said he climbed the wall three days ago. That's what it is. I didn't know this was a girl, just that she took a picture of me and I was curious to learn it." Obviously Raga.

"Ooh..," answered Raga's friends in unison.

"Bah, hunt for food. We're going straight to ZeroX ntar." Raga said sip her milk coffee.

Raga's friends nodded then they hurriedly finished their meal. Raga pressed her phone out of the app and put it back in her pants.

'Clara Sekarida, emm, interesting.' Think Raga.
