Between Love and Friends (Third-Figure Love)

Mentari's missing...

After chatting with his mother Mentari locked himself in his room, what should he do? Should he stop or vice versa. It was so hard to choose between love and friends. The threat of the mother was still imagined from his mind, his mother did not play games in the discussion yesterday.

His heart was agitated, the call from Reyhan Mentari ignored without lifting or replying to a single message. He left with a fucked up feeling.

The next day, Mentari was ready to go to campus without his best friend Vina, he knew he was still angry and did not want to be friends with him anymore.

Mentari just resigned and took a deep breath, how to make this problem finish without any separation between him and Reyhan, his love is so sincere to Reyhan who loves him regardless of the status of difference. He was grateful to have been loved by a man who loved him so sincerely.

Arriving at the campus, Mentari parked his motorbike in a place that has been provided. He comes down and steps in but Reyhan blocks him and invites him to talk about yesterday ignoring him.

"Tar, are you angry? Why don't you pick up my phone and don't get back to me!" asked Reyhan who was worried about the state of his lover, he knew how he felt after the incident yesterday with Vina.

"I'm fine, Rey," replied the Mentari who wanted to pass.

"Be a while, Tar. We have to solve this problem, don't believe it" said Reyhan who prevented Mentari.

"A little while back in, Rey. Do not prevent me, we can talk this out," said Mentari, he was also confused to be taken where this relationship had just begun.

"Okay, I wait, never avoid or look for excuses, I can't be like this" Reyhan threatened to leave behind a sculpting Mentari.

The sun is shedding his tears, he is unable to lose his first love, despite the circumstances that it must be like this.

He caught up with Reyhan who was already far away from his sight, he wiped his tears and neutralized himself so that no one would be suspicious. He smiles and greets some of his college friends even though one person thinks he is the real culprit of the life of Vina and her family.

The class is over, all the students disperse and leave. Mentari sat alone unaccompanied by her best friend Vina, looking straight at her with an empty look.

Chiko comes and surprises her self.

"Cong-day, what's dumb, not to the cafeteria?" ask Chiko who is sitting next to Mentari.

Mentari did not answer, he just looked at Chiko and turned his gaze around like before, it felt like his life was empty without friends and someone who accompanied at a time like this, like this, he needs the figure of a man giving his shoulders to lean complaining bitterly about his life that is full of not perfection.

"Don't be dumb, Tar. You'll die of curiosity, will you?" chiko said, scaring her friend.

Smiling, the man next to her always makes her feel a little calmer and always comforts her at times like this.

"Son, you are there" protested Mentari who did not accept the words of his friend.

From a distance, Reyhan sees his lover with a man, he is jealous. Immediately approaching and cleared his throat, the two turned with different faces.

Reyhan sat in the middle of the two, he did not want his lover approached by anyone including the man next to him.

"Oh my God, that's still luuaass, why sit here anyway" protested Chiko who did not accept.

Chiko is shocked, she does not know about the relationship Mentari and Reyhan are officially dating, her heart is broken when she hears directly from the mouth of the man next to her.

"Don't be original, no way Mentari likes you," said Chiko who does not believe.

"Just ask Mentari, won't you, baby?" tanya Reyhan glanced at Mentari.

Mentari did not answer, he lowered his face, he had to say what and answer what, the shadow of his mother's words was always ringing in his ears.

"Don't you, just keep quiet, don't be a person," replied Chiko who was happy because the woman next to her did not answer anything.

"Tar..," called Reyhan, he did not understand the behavior of his lover who did not recognize him as his lover.

"Yes, Chik. Reyhan is my girlfriend, we made it yesterday, but-" Mentari said, stopping her words made the two men link their eyebrows in a curious sign.

"But what, Tar?" chiko asked, she heard him so shocked by the confession of the woman he had been approaching all day.

"But, now no, we don't have a relationship anymore, Rey. Better we like this is just a friend," said Mentari who is not strong to say the sentence, want it feels like Mentari screamed as hard as she can and said that she also loved him very much, he said, and more than that. But, she should know herself by her status as just a maid child, and should respect her mother's decision.

Reyhan was shocked, he shook his head in a sign of disagreement with the words of his lover who he inaugurated yesterday, just now he will start his love story with a woman he loves. Butwhat? The mentari broke his spirit again.

"You're lying, Tar. We just made it yesterday, don't joke, not funny, baby." said Reyhan who clasped Mentari's hand, he did not want to hear the speech from the lover's mouth.

"That's right, Rey. We should be friends not as lovers, we are as far away as heaven and earth" replied Mentari who held back her tears from descending.

"Don't joke, I don't like it" Reyhan said.

"We're supposed to be friends, I won't hate you even if we don't have any relationship" Mentari told Reyhan. He got up from his seat and left Reyhan with Chiko, his heart ached and claustrophobic when he said it all, he could not bear to see the destruction of the man he loved.

His heart and body were limp for a moment, Reyhan sat down with his glass face, he wanted to chase Mentari but was restrained by Chiko.

"Let Mentari calm down first, then also Mentari like a person who has a burden," prevent Chiko to Reyhan who wants to pursue him.

In the second lesson hour, Mentari did not enter. Makes Reyhan worried and anxious. Where's that lover? Reyhan was not concerned when the lecturer explained the material to his students.

In the afternoon, Reyhan went around the campus to look for the whereabouts of his girlfriend. But nil, everyone did not see it, he had to how to find it. He kept calling his phone number and still had no answer, making him even more worried.

After an hour or so, Reyhan looks for her but he does not find and asks Vina, Vina shakes her head and leaves Reyhan without caring about her best friend.
