A Wound
Chapter 13
“Morning guys!” greet Arumi who just entered the classroom.
“Morning!” sahut Ara, then looked up to Arumi who was standing in front of him, “tnight Kak Rangga asked for your mobile number. Did he call you?” tanyakanya.
“Iya, he just want to send us the results of the photos yesterday.”
“It looks like you guys are getting more familiar?” ask Ara to investigate.
“There is no harm if we are friends?” arumi replied indifferently as she turned a bench in front of Ara and then sat herself there.
“Origin did not give him hope only.”
“Iya I know!” arumi replied. “What's with him?” she asked, looking at Miya who was lying her head on the folds of her hands on the table, with her eyes closed.
“Now, when I came in he was already like that,” replied Ara.
“Miya?” call Arumi. “Miyaaaa..” he shouted while not getting the authorization from his best friend.
“Anaan anyway, Rumi, noisy!” miya replied softly, without changing her position.
“You why? are you sick?” arumi asked a little worriedly at the sight of her friend who was so uninspired.
Ara put her palm on her best friend's forehead, to check her body temperature, “ is not hot.”
Miya opened her eyes, slowly stood up from her seat, “I turned back?” he said as he grabbed his bag which he had placed on the floor.
“Why?” ask Ara and Arumi together.
“Neither, today I am lazy to say anything, it feels like I want to sleep aja.”
“But you don't hurt, do you?” ask Arumi.
“Yes, no.”
“Ya is up to you. Want me to drop off?” asked Arumi, but got a rejection from his best friend. “Nevent need to go home, our course is just one, ater if we have finished walking, would you not?” bargained for.
“Ya can be deh.” Without thinking Long Miya agreed to his best friend's invitation, then returned to sit himself and dropped his head folded in his hands.
“Basic!” arumi laughed at the behavior of her best friend.
Arumi was about to ask Ara something, but when she heard the voice of Miya's phone ringing, she undoed her intention and turned to look at Miya who seemed half-heartedly raising her phone call.
“Iya, Ma?” sahut Miya on her phone call, which turns out to be from her mother.
Seeing Miya's face that continues to bend during the call from her mother, makes Arumi feel impatient to ask about her best friend's problem.
“What's up?” arumi asked quickly when Miya had just ended her call.
“Mama keeps threatening me, he said that this week I don't really go home, mama won't send me any more monthly money,” replied Miya pouting.
“Still the matchmaking clause?” ara asked and was answered with a nod by Miya.
“Yes have gone home first, if you have met the man, then you do not like him, you just tell your parents.at least you have a reason to refuse him,” added Ara.
“Then you guys come with me home huh?”
“Ngak!” ara and Arumi answered simultaneously.
“Good!” miya blicked her lips.
“What if I don't like it, then mom won't let me turn it down?”
“Ya just run away,” says Arumi fast. “Why didn't you ask your mom to send you a photo of that guy?” tanyanya enthusiastic, who actually also curious about the appearance of the man who will be betrothed to his best friend.
“Udah, but mama does not want, the reason let me be curious he said. But my mom said, I will not be satisfied he said.”
“That's just your mama's wits, let you go home…. I became suspicious, lest the one who wants to be betrothed to you is a battery whose property will not run out seven derivatives,” said Arumi laughed.
“Ih what the heck, amit-amit...amit-amit..” he replied shuddering while alternately tapping his head and the table in front of him.
“Arumi what the heck, Miya's parents are not that poor until they have to give their children to aki-aki,” said Ara, making Miya nod justifying her speech. “Like entrepreneurs in general, maybe for the sake of launching his papa business, Miya will only be married to an om-om who has a distended stomach,” said Ara laughing, making Arumi share the truth justifying Ara's speech.
“Araaa..” says Miya memelas.
“Honey jokes,” said Ara quits her laughter and repeatedly apologizes to her best friend.
Ara clasped Miya's hand and looked seriously at her best friend, “accept what your parents want, I'm sure your parents have chosen the best man for their daughter. No parent chooses a life partner for their children. Marriage is not for a day or two, but God willing for eternity. So I am sure this man is the best of all good men who are your parents' choice,” said Ara sage.
“Alright I will try,” said Miya forced her smile.

Tiit.tuitt…
“For so long?” yelled Arumi from the car.
“Everything helps,” replied Miya pouting, pulling her suitcase, then putting it in the trunk before finally getting in the car.
“Your suitcase is very big,” said Ara who entered the car while carrying Miya's small bag. “Are you going long?” tanyakanya.
“Not really, just a few days.”
“Oh so, I thought you wouldn't come back,” said Ara laughing.
“Yes return! I will definitely miss you guys so much,” he said made clear.
“Don't you just go a few days?” said Arumi was caught off guard, and started running his vehicle that would take Miya to the airport.
As his mother requested, today Miya must return to Surabaya, because tonight he will be reunited with his future fiance, which is still very mysterious for him.
Last night he could not sleep thinking about how his future fiancee looked like. Some ideas to refuse or escape from his match had been thought of by him last night.
“How about your parents get you married? Aren't you coming back?” ask Ara to relax.
Miya momentarily thought of Ara's words, seeing from her mother's attitude that forced her to go home, what if her parents would really marry her, making excuses just to introduce the two first.
“Stoooopp!” yelled Miya, making Arumi quickly step on the brake pedal.
“What's up? have you forgotten something?” arumi asked a little panicked.
“We'll just go back, I won't go home.”
“Why?” asked Arumi a little annoyed.
“True Ara said, how about I get married?”
“Jeez, you don't go crazy ya.” Arumi returned to running his vehicle without caring about Miya's worries, which he thought sounded funny when his best friend continued to babble, not wanting to be married by his parents.
“I'm just kidding, why are you so scared?" said Ara. “again if it happens, you rest easy we will come, we can not miss our best friend's wedding. Aren't you, Mi?” said Ara who got the justification from Arumi.
“Arumi back yes..” woo Miya on Arumi.
“No!” arumi replied quickly and with great emphasis, making Miya only able to throw her breath rough. Didn't he ever win against Arumi.
