Choosing to Marry Young

02. Approaches

After school, Nurry and I didn't go home. We plan to walk the street first, our language ngadem in the mall. Yes, although not shopping, but it's nice to be able to walk there while enjoying our favorite ice cream. But the plan this time we are not alone, Nurry invites her boyfriend and happens to be Nurry's girlfriend is on her birthday. Therefore, since yesterday he was very complicated, he wanted to get a special gift for his girlfriend and he had saved up a few months just for his girlfriend. I honestly don't really like Baim, Nurry's girlfriend. I think he was too careless to Nurry but stupidly Nurry always obeyed what his girlfriend wanted.

"Do you look good, Za?" ask me who is focused on the surrounding scenery.

"Za ...," he called again.

"Hmmm.. Yes, good." I replied.

We waited for Baim for about 1 hour, and that's how he is. Like it all by yourself but want it again, Nurry likes it. I cannot impose my will when my best friend is happy with his choice.

When he arrived, Baim did not come alone. He was with his friend when Nurry had told him that Baim would come alone because Nurry would come home with him. We don't go to school in the same place.

"Goodbye, dear."

"thank you. But I told you it doesn't have to be like this. Just be ashamed." said Baim.

I saw the look on Nurry's face change when I heard Baim's words. How could she talk like that when Nurry prepared this all for her. Yes, although not fancy but this is Nurry's business.

"But I want to surprise you on your birthday."

"But I'm not a kid who has to blow out a candle all the time and obey your will" Baim said.

"That's it, why are you so rude to your girlfriend" said Baim's friend.

I just kept quiet, wanting to slap the guy who insulted my best friend. He was never kind to Nurry.

"I'm sorry, I'm just tired. You know, today I have practice but you keep telling me to come."

"Yes." answered Nurry briefly. He almost cried because of Baim's words.

"Oh yeah, it's Dirga. And this Dirga, Kanza is my girlfriend's best friend."

I smiled at him without shaking his hand. I still feel annoyed by Baim's attitude towards Nurry. He did not even try to persuade Nurry who had only been silent since Baim spoke like that.

And after we spent the four of us, it was good that there was Dirga so I didn't feel like a mosquito repellent. But after a while Nurry's attitude warmed back to Baim, they also joked even though their jokes only made me shake my head.

"I'll drive you later, will you?" ask Roy. We're waiting for the movie we're going to see together.

"No, I'm coming home with Nurry."

"Didn't Nurry come home with Baim, he didn't bring a bike."

"Don't be afraid, I won't mislead you" he said. I just smiled at the answer.

Since Dirga did look good, he was also engrossed. But I can't judge someone from 1x to just meet.

And since then Dirga's talk led to personal things, like do I have a boyfriend?

"It just so happens that I don't have it yet" I replied.

"What a coincidence, I can be free with you."

"What do you mean?" my many.

"Ahh, I mean. I can be close to you if you don't have a boyfriend."

"Ohh.."

And I finally got home to Dirga after the movie show we saw was over. At first I didn't want to but Nurry insisted on bringing Dirga home.

"Till here." I said. When I got in front of a big alley in my village.

"I can take you to your front door."

"No need, I don't usually take men to my house. I'm sorry."

"It's okay. That's a sign you're a good boy."

Since that meeting, we've been getting closer. Close in the sense of friendship. I don't have any feelings for Dirga either. He even occasionally picked me up at school and drove me home.

Message:

"What meda?" ask Nurry.

"Are you with Dirga?" ask Nurry suddenly.

"Can I type first and then reply to your message. Why do you always ask so much."

"I'm sorry. Just answer me."

"I'm in my room, and I'm not with Dirga. I don't have any feelings for him. That clear?"

"You sure? He's a rich man's son, you can use him."

"Why don't you just, decide that obscure Baim."

"Why are you so mean to your best friend" said Nurry.

"Have we not met tomorrow, we discussed it in school."

"You're so mean, Kanza Azzahra ...,"

I didn't reply to Nurry's message anymore, I left my phone in bed and walked to the kitchen to help my mother. And when I'm gonna start helping my mom, somebody comes in the house without excuse. Suddenly someone who knows who's looking for Dad's whereabouts. He even accused us of hiding Dad.

"I just want to meet your husband. Tell him to meet me or he'll suffer the consequences." he said firmly.

"But please explain what you have with my husband?" answer the mother to the woman.

"You don't need to know, just tell your husband. I gave him 3 days. Otherwise, he knows what I'm going to do." he replied.

I don't know who the man looking for Dad was, he didn't even introduce himself or tell me why he was looking for my father. If it's a debt problem why the man was just looking for my father, he could charge my mother if it was a debt problem.

"What's a husband, Daddy's girlfriend?" rio Augustine, my brother.

"Hustt, why talk like that, son." - denied Mom.

"True, is he a husband, Daddy's girlfriend. I would love to label a woman ****** that." I said with emotion.

"What's for, son? Let it. We are not happy living three."

"At least if Mom and Dad's status is clear, I'll be calmer" I said.

"Have it done, son, let your father do what he wants."

"But ma'am"

"Here, you better help Mom to scrape the parchment" said my mother. He always wouldn't let me when I wanted to crash my father's affair.

Once I met my father when I was walking with Nurry, the shame I pulled Nurry so he wouldn't see my father with his girlfriend. I'm still ashamed to admit that my father was rotten. But Nurry understood that, she could always understand me. And always there when I need a backrest.

Maybe on the family side, I can't be as happy as the rest of the family because Dad played with fire behind my mom but I'm lucky to have friends as good as Nurry and the others. We actually have genk. Indeed there is no name genknya but we always six where. But out of my five friends, I was close to Nurry.

Earlier, I didn't reply to Nurry's message but now I'm calling her crying. The same thing, which I always complained to Nurry but he never got bored. And he's my best friend.

Next day.

Early in the morning Dirga was in front of my village alley to pick me up. I was surprised by Dirga because I happened to go with my brother this morning.

"Morning, Kanza Azzahra." said as my brother's bike was close to him.

"The Dirga? Why here." I said confused.

"Yes, I want to take you to school" said Dirga.

"Who is he decking?" ask Brother.

"This is Kanza's friend, sister." I replied.

"The variety is different" he said again.

"Ah that-"

"Sorry Brother, I just want to pick up Kanza and take her to school" replied Dirga.

"Ohh so, all right."

"It's fast coming down, Brother is in the afternoon" said my brother, it's really annoying actually but I also can not refuse Dirga's invitation that somehow waiting for me.

"But.."

Inevitably I came down and approached Dirga who was already on his bike. Yeah, I'm on the floor to go to school.

"Sorry not to call you first. I think my house and your house are in the same direction. So I stopped by to pick you up." said Dirga.

"Ah yes." I replied briefly.

If only my brother hadn't been in a hurry, I wouldn't have gone to school with Dirga. It's a hard choice. And indeed since our meeting, Dirga often gave me news, asked me news and even picked me up like now.

Arriving at school, Nurry was also waiting for me in front of the gate, from his smile, he looked like he was mocking me. Because he was such an enthusiast when I got close to Dirga.

I immediately went down and said goodbye to Dirga who indeed he also had to go to school, and after Dirga left I walked towards the school gate.

"Cie cie's.. The kasmaran."

"Your bun." I replied as I walked in.

"I agree that if you are with Dirga, we can often double date" Nurry said while teasing me.

"Hey. Who is Za .." said My friend. Although his name is Menik but not like his behavior. He's super silly but nice even a little chatty.

"Kanza's girlfriend." answered Nurry.

"Is she really?" said Puspa, Sari and Intan together. I don't know since when they came but they arrived to tease me. Fuck Nurry's mouth.

"Don't believe Nurry's words, it's not true." my dear.

"Ahh why should be ashamed anyway, Za." said Menik.

"As for you" I said, speeding my way.

The six of us are indeed friends, if with Puspa, we are indeed from the same Junior High and indeed know each other. The other four we are friends from SMK. Those who used to comfort me when trouble at home kept bothering me. I'm lucky to know them. At least my day wasn't that bad, because my friends always supported me.
