The clock has been showing at almost 10 p.m. A skinny girl in a dirty dress is seen arguing with Mr. Agus in front of the gate of the house. It just so happens that Ritha and Satya have just returned home from an important meeting with a client.
“Please let me meet Blue, Sir! I don't know if tomorrow I can meet Blue or not.” The black-haired boy with a ponytail was seen pleading with his hands cupped to his chest.
“It's late at night, son. We never had any guests this evening. If you want to visit, come at normal hours. Blue Ma'am is asleep. Come again tomorrow morning.”
“I beg you, Sir! Let me meet Blue!”
The young man was still whining, while Mr. Agus heeded the girl to open the gate immediately so that his master's car could enter immediately.
Satya lowered the car glass and asked, “What is it, Mr Agus?”
“This child desperately wants to meet mbak Blue, sir. I told you, we do not accept guests at night and tell him to come tomorrow if you want to visit Blue Mother. But he doesn't want.”
The boy walked up to the car that stopped for a moment before entering the gate. He looked at Satya before then throwing his gaze down staring at the conblock where he was standing near the gate.
“I have to meet Blue now, Sir.”
“But it's been a night once and Blue is still recovering from the pain. Sorry, we can't take guests carelessly. Who is this kid and what interests are there here?”
“I Kayla, Om. I'm a schoolmate sitting next to Blue. I need to talk to Blue.” for a moment
“Must now?”
“Iya, Sir. Sorry I only had time to come at night because I had to work. I know it's not an hour of regular people visiting, but I've been walking over an hour here to meet Blue. Please meet me with Blue for a moment. I just want to say thank you.”
Satya closely observes the thin girl who relentlessly pleads to be reunited with Blue. There was a lot of suspicion that filled his head considering Blue had just been the victim of an accident that was deliberately done by an unknown person. Blue has not fully recovered and there is a child claiming his school friends come at night and forced to meet with his sister. It's hard for Satya to think that this kid is good while the etiquette of visiting hours he doesn't have.
“I want to see Blue. I'm not a bad guy, Om.” whines.
Satya sneered. Why must maksa so much anyway?
Ritha nudged her husband and gestured with a blink of an eye to let the child in. Poor thing's been an hour's walk. Even if Blue is asleep, let Ritha who will meet him for a while, feed him drink, listen to his message, and give money just for the cost of going home. However, the child was a guest who went to his house even though he did not know what the motive was to come these nights.
“Pak Agus, just let this child come in.” said Ritha while stroking her husband's arm. “Ijin go down to nemenin the boy yes, Mas. Poor.” whispered softly near the ears of her husband who still shows his dislike for his sister's guests.
“Cautious.” Satya stared intently at him as if giving a warning of a bad possibility to watch out for.
Ritha replied to him with a nod of her head and a calm smile. Bismillah. May the boy really be Blue's best friend and there happens to be an important need that forces him to visit home at night
people. Ritha got out of the car and accompanied Kayla to the living room.
“Thank you, Aunt.” Kayla smiled broadly at welcoming him.
“Where is your house, Kay?”
“Ngontract near Manggarai station.”
“With family?”
“Iya.”
Ritha invited Kayla to sit on one of the leather sofas in the living room. Kayla looks nervous and fascinated by the atmosphere of the house. His head lowered but the tail of his eyes glanced at the entire corner of the room. Ritha was not very respectful with the body gestures of the child who she thought was not polite, but she tried to understand. Looking at his appearance, maybe he has never seen a house with architectural style like his house. Maybe he lives in a village where people around him used to visit in a fun way without being bound by any rules.
“Mbak Pun, please bring snacks and warm tea for guests Blue yes. All of you please call her Beer too.” Ritha's word to the housekeeper who approached her in the living room.
Ritha sits on a single sofa opposite Kayla's couch. Undeniably, there was still a trace of hesitation in his heart with the presence of a person never known before. His brain always gives an early warning should remain vigilant considering the accident that befell Blue is not yet known the culprit. That kid could be the culprit. Blue rarely tells stories about her friends' characters and Kayla has never come to her house before.
“Thank you, Aunt. Blue always gives me a good lunch. Actually I lost a lot Blue did not go to school for three days but I did not have time to look because after school I had to
join spa therapist training.”
“Tante pretty damn yeah. Kayak angel. Lucky Blue has a beautiful sister, kind and rich like sister.”
The boy began to dare look at Ritha and looked amazed at what he saw around her. Dorky.
“Hai, Kayla.” Blue appeared from inside the house with a faint smile. His eyes still looked fresh but he had prepared to sleep because he had changed into pajamas. That night he wore blue pajamas with a picture of a sun bear.
“Hai, Blue. I'm sorry I just had to look and come the nights like this. I just finished my therapist training. Tomorrow we start working at spa.”
“Ohya, where is spanya?”
“In the area of Block M.”
Ma'am came with 3 cups of warm tea and nastar setoples as a snack.
“Please drink the tea first, Kayla!” Ritha invited her guests to drink before moving to the room to change clothes with house clothes. He has no intention of leaving Blue alone with his guests. In a whisper, he asked Pun to sit on the small sofa watching them.
“How are you, Bi?”
“Good. God willing Monday has entered school again kok.”
“I heard you want to change schools.”
“Neg. My brother was worried because I had an accident, but I will still be in school. Only must be escorted and picked up by car. The motorist who accidentally pushed the bike I haven't met. So it's only natural that they're still worried about my safety.”
Kayla nodded.
“About who did you intentionally mean you?”
Blue shrug.
“Perhaps one of the friends who is envious and jealous because you are close to brother Rio.”
Blue shrugs her shoulders again. He doesn't want to guess.
Kayla immediately sipped her tea one sip and ate the snack voraciously. Looks hungry.
“You haven't had dinner yet huh, Kay?”
Kayla shakes.
Blue turned her eyes on Mbak Pun. “Nasi and side dishes are still there, right?”
“Still, Non.”
“Let's eat first, Kay!”
Kayla quickly followed Blue's steps into the dining room. Kayla's heart was happy. Indeed it's one of the expected kayla tired of looking for the Blue house tonight. Not nothing he had imagined the good food that usually brought Blue every day at school. His stomach has been ringing since. Worms in her stomach shuddered. Since noon he has not eaten rice. Fortunately on the way to the therapy place earlier he was given torn bread that had been somewhat rancid by people on the road. It does not taste good but it is good enough to block the stomach before the training of therapists who need extra energy.
Kayla sits in a mini bar chair, while Blue and Mbak Pun prepare food for her. Rotate left and right. Aih, very fun to sit in a chair that can rotate 360 degrees. Just this time Kayla occupied a chair that only she could see on TV. In his house there is a similar chair. Eat ya lesehan only on the floor with mats that have been weathered.
It's great that Kayla is accepted as Blue's best friend. His other schoolmates looked at him in disgust. Let alone be friends, just come closer reluctantly. They said Kayla stinks. Even though Kayla noticed the smell of her body and always wore a deodorant, they still did not want to come closer. The reason is classic, making friends with poor people can be contagious so poor. Because of the motto that people always try to find a friend of the rich, let the ketangsangan become rich. Honestly must be admitted, Kayla also wants to be friends with rich people in order to get rich. So he was lucky to sit next to Blue who wanted to make friends with anyone indiscriminately.

Is it true, making friends with rich people will become rich?
