"Near!"
Shinta's voice made me realize that I was not alone. I immediately turned my face away from Om Damar who was busy choosing jewelry with the beautiful woman of the store owner.
"What the hell is it?" shinta asked, the girl came to find out what was stealing my attention.
"Euuh. Nothing, really," I said immediately wriggling my best friend's hand away from the place.
"Why?" Shinta laughed. "Hmm .. lest you have a shadow someday, a riding prince will bedazzle you with a diamond ring with big eyes."
"You know what, you. But clearly, the riding prince was only in the doang film. We have to live realistically. Boro-boro got a diamond ring from the handsome prince, find a sincere guy who is rare" I lamented.
Even the man who I thought sincerely loved me, had a lover. Hmm. .. Good thing I haven't received Om Damar's love. I can imagine if the lady from the shop was angry and grabbed my hair. Ah .. must be really terrible.
"Yes, anyway." Shinta took a long breath. "Remember ..no need to rush. Surely one day we'll meet, the same thing called a mate."
"Hoh-oh." I nodded my head in agreement with his words. Most importantly for me, she no longer found out who I was looking at at the jewelry store earlier.
"Hello, mate. Where the hell are you? How come nyampe-nyampe, do I need to follow?" It was as if he was receiving a call from someone. "We met in the middle of the road, huh?"
The girl glanced at me then chuckled as if she was playing tricks on me.
"Gee! What the hell," I said. I pinched his waist with anxiety.
"Auw .." he shouted. “The reason is that you are so strange. Your soul mate, already waiting at the resto. Ntar met again. Do I need to drag him here right now?”
“Dih ... whatan, anyway. I'm the same he's just a regular friend, kok,” my rebuttal.
Suddenly Shinta patted my back. “Ra .. Ra, look!” The girl pointed towards a shop next to the doll stall. “It looks like we are looking for a gift for Darren there aja.”
“Bby ... can also, tuh,” I say indifferently. “Whatever you think is suitable, deh.”
We also entered the watch shop. Seen in the storefront of various watch brands, ranging from ordinary brands to well-known brands, ranging from friendly bandrol in the wallet to extraordinarily expensive prices. There is even one worth of a motor unit!
“Which one is it?” ask Shinta. The pair of eyes of the girl peeked through one watch after another in the display glass cabinet.
I put my shoulder down. “No idea, uh. Dizziness, on unfriendly in the bag.” I turned my eyes back out of the shop.
My eyes were round when I saw the familiar figure walking past the shop we stopped by. I quickly lowered my body, acting as if the laces I was wearing were loose, of course, to hide.
Wretch! What if he sees me here? Or maybe he was following me on purpose. I remember now, maybe he was following me because I said I was going out with Shinta.
God, what if he meets my friends later. Surely I will be bullied for having a relationship with an old man. Between the two of us, there is no special relationship.
“Why?” whispered Shinta who turned out to come down behind me.
“Indeed why are your shoelaces? I don't see any problems with that rope.”
The girl's answer made me die a flea. Why do I have a friend this late? Why does he know every detail I do?
“I'll tell you, yes. Today you are so weird, Ra.” The girl frowned and stood up again.
“Udah, Brother. Just pack this one. My friend is not feeling well. So the wrapper is a bit fast yes,” said the girl to the store waiter while handing her black card as a means of payment.
I pursed my lips. Gosh, it's really uncomfortable to be treated like a freak by your best friend. But ... I don't have the slightest desire to tell the problem I'm facing. As if someone was preventing me from telling anyone.

“Nah ... what did I say!” yell Raka. “Emang si Shinta's numero uno!”
“Nih ... gift for you, Ren!” Shinta handed the bag containing the watch she had bought to Darren, her friend who was having a birthday that day.
“Yes, thank you already at dateng," said the young man when he welcomed our arrival.
The long table seemed to have been deliberately prepared for Darren's invited guests. Each seat was full, with only three seats remaining side by side.
"Damn it! It seems that Shinta deliberately tricked me into coming to this event, "my inner self. "Even all the guests are just friends of Darren's. Crazy one! Fortunately, I didn't tell you much of my secret."
Darren pulled a chair for me. With resignation I sat down following her wishes, while Shinta sat quietly next to me. His pair of eyes scoured the entire resto room.
"Om and Aunty aren't coming, Ren?" ask Shinta. It seems he did not manage to find the figure he was looking for.
I'm laughing a little. Turns out he didn't trick me. Maybe even he's being fooled by Darren.
"Mama is with Papa again out of town" said Darren.
"Then your brother?"
Shinta finally fell asleep asking the figure she was looking for. And it made me laugh. A pair of girls eyes glared at me.
"No. .. I mean, um .. no, you're a birthday but no family comes." It seems that Shinta is deliberately looking for an excuse to cover up her embarrassment.
"Abang was going to come, but the manager added him to sign the contract with what it is," said Darren.
Shinta pursed her lips. His face was so disappointed. Of course, that was the reason for him to come to this event. Had he known, Darren's brother wouldn't have come, of course we would never have appeared at a show dominated by this guy.
"Ah...tell it, Shin. Don't talk about that. We're happy-happy. Do not make the mood of our brother who again this birthday ngedrop," concluded Raka. "Somehow, instead of being good enough, there's Tiara, her boyfriend here."
Heh! What did he say? A boyfriend?
