ARDIANS

Dilemmas

Ardian deliberately looked around, in order to avoid eye contact from Rafael at this time.

''I thought I was jealous, right?'' sewot Rafael's.

''Who said you were jealous of, bro?'' sahut Izam patted Rafael on the shoulder. ''Ardian just his name, Salsa mana, because Fatur is in this hospital as well, ''' explained Izam and replied to a nod of agreement by Ardian. ''Lagian....Lo also the nanya, say Ardian nyariin Salsa. Turn has been answered, even sewot.''

''Gue don't sew!'' Rafael immediately threw out Izam's hand which was on his shoulder. ''Salsa wants to be with Fatur I will not be jealous. I don't like him, why am I jealous?'' Rafael said with a cynical smile that made Izam roll his eyes lazy.

''Curely?'' tanya Ardian confirmed and presented a piercing gaze from Rafael.

Rafael goes first to leave Izam and Rafael, making Ardian smile thinly, while Izam laughs loudly.

''Eh, Ci. You came here alone doang?'' ask Izam to make sure.

''Salsa again on the road, I first come here,'' Cika replied making Izam mangosteen.

Cika, Izam and Ardian stepped back, they walked together towards Gerald's room.

''You are very diligent, Gerald. Do you like Gerald?'' guess Izam made Cika into a scene, while Ardian immediately glanced at Cika. He could see the girl trying to neutralize herself, for what Izam had just said.

Ardian looked back to the front, walking in focus without looking right and left, but his ears listened well.

''No.''

''It's time?'' Izam asked again in disbelief at Cika. ‘’But you know, you like Gerald.''

Cika's footsteps stopped, making Izam also stop, automatically Ardian also followed to stop his footsteps.

''Gue didn't tell you to believe!''

Izam snaps drugs at Cika. ''Eh, Cika. No need to rent Rafael kali. I'm just wondering, is it wrong that you like Gerald? It's normal that you like Gerald. Want you like it or not, do not rent it if asked. I'd like to be bullied, if caught liking Gerald!'' Izam stomped his feet in annoyance. ''Yow, Ar. We go first.''

Izam and Ardian immediately left Cika, making Cika look at the backs of the two boys. Then I went back to Izam's words just now.

What the guy said was right. But, Cika does not want until others know, her best friend who knows to make Cika become uncomfortable, what else if many people know.

The girl breathed a heavy sigh, she was too embarrassed and scared, if others knew that she liked Gerald, not only liked him, but she even admired him.

Ardian glanced at Izam, the guy was still singing his lips, he was still annoyed with Cika who was sewot like Rafael.

''Why are you directly like the same thing, Cika? Her mother you've seen her—''

''Ar ''Ar...Kentara really knows that girls like men. You don't see, Cika even came alone to the hospital. You do not pay attention too, if he is almost as diligent as Nanda Jengukin Gerald in the hospital.'' Izam immediately cut off Ardian's words making the guy smile thinly then then mangosteen.

''Gue likes it the same, Cika.''

Ardian immediately looked at Izam, making Izam immediately know what Ardian's gaze was.

‘’Ndon't get me wrong, Ar. I said like that, I like it if Cika's attitude is flat indifferent to Gerald's coldness is passing. Let them date, so they can fight mechanics. It could be that if they are dating, there is no conversation between the two of them.'' Izam told a story accompanied by his small laugh, making Ardian immediately snatch Izam's forehead.

''What the hell, Ar. Sick of it!''

''Most assumptions know not. Where might Cika like the same Gerald,‘’ protest Ardian. ''The girl who dared to like Gerald, is a girl who is ready to receive rejection from Gerald.'' Ardian smiled faintly, then continued his remarks. ‘’Except, Nanda. Because Nanda was Gerald's childhood love. No one will be able to shift Nanda's position in Gerald's heart.''

''This is the one who made me salute Cika. He doesn't care if there's a girl that Gerald liked first. Maybe Cika's principle is the same as lo''' said Izam made Ardian raise his eyebrows next door. Confused by the same principles Izam said.

‘’Lo mean?'' ask Ardian who is still confused.

''It is not easy to give up on what he wants. Before he really got what he wanted, Izam replied. ''The path of love with Cika seems thin, Ar.''

Izam's words successfully made Ardian think.

If Cika really likes Gerald. That means I'm the same Cika, like the same person who has someone in his heart.

Ardian could only go deep, thinking hard.

''The reason you already know that nanda does not like you?'' ask Izam again.

''I repeatedly shot him, there was no good response from Nanda. He really doesn't like me, and I don't get into his heart. I really like him, Zam. In fact, my parents thought, I'm the same Nanda was dating.'' Ardian breathed a heavy breath. ''Gue will wait for him, nanda the first girl who made me fall as fallen as he fell. It's okay if he wants to date anyone, from whom he married it was me.'' Ardian said so sure to make Izam salute with the words of his best friend.

Now Izam knows that Ardian likes Nanda sincerely, not just because his best friend likes Nanda.

''Gue support you same Nanda, Ar. Origin of your rivals don't Gerald. If your rival is Gerald, I will not support Lo or Gerald. Because you two are my best friends. Whoever gets Nanda later, I just asked one of you not to go down. Especially you, Ar. If Nanda is more choosy, you don't get discouraged.'' Izam's advice makes Ardian goosebumps.

‘’Tumben lu sage,'' Ardian taunts make Izam laugh.

''Another one, Ar, '' said Izam.

The two men stopped their footsteps, because they had reached Gerald's room.

''What?'' ask Ardian.

‘’Sini.'' Izam called Ardian, so that the cwok approached him. Then Izam whispered in Ardian's ear, making the guy stiffen immediately. ‘’Who knows God is fair between you and Gerald. Who knows if Nanda's date is Gerald, but one day you will be her husband.''

***

Salsa got off the taxi that drove her to the hospital. Actually she wanted to rest at her house first, but saw Cika call her and told her to go to the hospital now. Making the girl undo her intention to rest. Because Cika's best friend and cousin was asking her for help.

As a good person, of course Salsa immediately went to the hospital.

Salsa saw Cika was waiting for her in the hospital lobby, she immediately approached the girl.

She already knew the root of Cika's problem, why she asked to be accompanied, because she was embarrassed to enter Gerald's room alone and meet with ARIGEL's child, when Izam asked such a question earlier, as Izam, and daring to check himself made Cika become embarrassed.

''Yuk.'' Cika immediately took Salsa's hand to walk.

The two girls walked down the hospital corridor, chatting small. ‘’So, Izam and Ardian already know that you like Gerald?'' salsa asked to make sure, because when Cika called she did not hear her too clearly.

Cika nodded in agreement to Salsa's words. ''So, how did they respond? They were shocked or even ridiculed you?'' salsa again.

''I think they support me if I like Gerald. But I even refute Izam's words, if in fact I do not like Gerald, ''' replied Cika made Salsa pat her own eel.

‘’Why even spewing anyway, Ci. Their response is good to you.''

''I don't want anyone to know that I like Gerald. Even though it's Gerald's best friend, Cika's reply, she likes Gerald but she doesn't want to like her best friend to show people that she likes Gerald.

''Yes-yes.''

They both got to Gerald's room, the girls saw Rafael, Izam and Ardian, the boy was waiting for Gerald's parents to come out of Gerald's room, and they were going in.

''Where are you going?'' Cika immediately blocked Salsa's hand, as the girl wanted to step away. Cika knew that Salsa wanted to approach Rafael, but she kept asking.

''I want El nyamperin. I haven't talked to him in a while now, said Salsa, to get Cika to put her hand down.

''Did you ever talk to Rafael? The feeling was just you doang talking to Rafael, but that guy was not your response at all. At most his lemes mouth was contemptuous lo again. I don't accept, ''Cika's reminder to Salsa made the girl sing her lips.

''Don't be clear, Ci. But I'm serious, I really miss El, said Salsa with a hearty, so that Cika wanted to let go of her.

‘’Sorry, I came late.''

They all look directly at the origin of the sound, Cika's mouth opens seeing Ethan coming along with Vani.

While Cika closed her eyes, she did not know why ARIGEL's son was reshaping his companions.

''But did you come with Vani? Aren't you guys broken up?'' Salsa asks a question, and Vani hugs Ethan's arm.

''Gue same Ethan back, why?''
