Chapter 41 Don't Pick Me

“Please ya bil.” Nai said when Nai and When he reached Nai's room.

“Nothing for Nai to relax just time we are friends.” When trying to hold his mouth so as not to be confused ask Nai.

Nai looked when confused, why If so sit in his bed now. “What's the bill?” asked Nai who was confused to see if only silent, did not rise out of his room when he wanted to rest.

“Gue want to ask something?” When playing his fingers because of nervousness, but at this time he is talking with his friend, not a judge who will convene him.

“Ask what bil.” Nai tried to look relaxed, although in his heart he was afraid to ask something that he could not answer.

“Lo why could Yusuf be the same?” a moment later When looking at Nai seriously. Nai who looks nervous makes Bila try to lift Nai's chin so that Nai looks at her.

“But accidentally bil oath.” Bila's eyes were squeaking towards Nai. Now Nai felt an intimidating look from Bila.

“Bener bill, I want to find fresh air continue to meet Yusuf on the river bank.” Nai tried to find the right word to describe the situation at that time.

“No lie lo?” ask if you are sure.

Nai shook his hand forming a peace sign. When nodding then looked at Nai with an intimidating look. “Lo know Sha drowned why do you go when Sha needs lo?”

Nai was silent for a while, “anu Bil i.”

“Gue does not feel good and must find fresh air, after all, the word mr mantra can not be many people in posko.” Seeing when the only silent Nai was getting nervous.

“There's something you're hiding?”

“Gak ko, gak.” Spontaneous Nai.

When he returns to squinting his eyes at Nai, “yakin?”

“Ya kin kok.” Answer Nai stuttering.

“Oudah I go first.” Say when you get up. Nai sighed in relief as soon as he saw the door closed by Bila.

Brakes

The door that was reopened by Bila made Nai shocked not to play, “if you hide something I will not apologize lo.”

Nai stroking his chest in shock, “if it was Sha, what happened so is.” Nai said to When the one who had closed the door back who probably would not hear his words.

Until Akbar's room so think about Rio's words. Is it true that Sha is not a stranger as he thought? Do they really know you for a long time?

Where possible?

They just knew, Akbar also just moved to Bandung 1 year ago. If indeed they knew, from the beginning Akbar would have recognized him. But wait, during the meeting at that shop. Akbar hurriedly got up and walked towards Sha's room.

Arriving at Sha's room, Akbar enters carefully when he sees Sha falling asleep in his bed. Akbar also opened the drawer next to the bed, it was still the same, there was his photo album with the stars.

Akbar picked it up and sat down on the bench next to Sha's bed. Akbar opened the album one by one. Akbar still remembers, this photo was his first meeting with the Stars . Photo taken by Mama Bintang when approaching those who are playing.

Akbar asked his mother Star who happened to be carrying a camera, to take a picture of him with the Star sitting under a tree while looking at the orange sky that would soon fade. His mother Bintang gave Akbar her picture a week later after it was printed.

The second photo was while they were playing at the star's house, the photo was taken when Bintang took the swing and Akbar pushed it . Actually, the photo was accidentally taken. Spontaneous portrait by the Mama Star. According to Mama Bintang it because the moment is very good to be immortalized.

Finished, Mama Bintang showed her picture to Akbar. His face looked silly but happy because at that time Akbar was happy to see the Stars laughing on the swing. Akbar had laughed at the photo, until Sha who was beside him wriggled a little. Akbar stopped his laughter.

Akbar who remembered his purpose here immediately approached Sha. Akbar brought the photo to Sha's face. At first glance they look similar, Akbar thought. Akbar tried to stroke Sha's hand when he saw Sha frowning in sleep.

“Quiet Sha, sleep again.” Akbar said, hoping that Sha could calm down in his dream. Akbar tries to get up to return the photo album to the drawer, until Sha's hand holds it. “Don't go,” igau Sha that made Akbar freeze.

Seeing his hand held tightly by Sha, Akbar felt again sitting next to Sha. Akbar asked in his heart what dream Sha was having right now. A bored Akbar tries to see Sha's room.

If you remember how long he had not been in this room, the last time when he was a child was when the holidays with Star parents. Yusuf did not come at that time, he was traveling to Yogya with his friends.

Looking around at this room is still the same as he was last here, not much has changed. Only the paint changed.

Akbar is still trying to get his photo album back in the drawer with his left hand. His hand caught an object, out of curiosity took it. A necklace that is the same as the necklace she loves to the stars.

Akbar watched the necklace, until he did not realize if sha woke up. In a hurry he put the necklace in his pants pocket. And let go of Sha's hand.

“Kok sister can be here!” shock Sha. How not surprised try, when you wake up there is a guy next to you.

“Anu just wanted to wake you up to eat. I even made it here.” Akbar so hit his mouth because Sha keceplosan held him here earlier.

Kening Sha shriveling, “times anyway kak?” tanya Sha who does not believe Akbar's words said he held Akbar.

“Ah is not important, you want to eat.”

Crewman

Sha's stomach sounds, Sha closes his face in shame. Akbar chuckled beside her. “Tuh belly you just ask for rations. Wait y ague take it first.” Akbar said as he passed out of Sha's room.

Just three steps out of Sha's room, Akbar said that he heard a conversation between two people from the room next to Sha, which is Nai's room. Akbar tried to see the person inside Nai's room. Fortunately Nai's door opened slightly. Akbar tried to peek, something he should not have done.

Joseph? What to do in Nai's room. Akbar hurriedly continued in his footsteps when he saw Joseph rise and seemed to be coming out of Nai's room. Akbar went straight to the kitchen without looking back to see Joseph or Nai.

“Sister Yusuf?” Sha was so shocked when he came out of the room to go to the bathroom, Joseph came out of Nai's room.

Yusuf's face was tense when he met Sha. It immediately passed from there when he saw Nai estuary from his room with a typical person waking up. Sha hurriedly went into the bathroom before Joseph prevented him.

True to Sha Yusuf's conjecture of chasing after him, Joseph also knocked on the bathroom door. “Sha, Sha dengerin my explanation first.”

Sha just shut up and turned on the water faucet so as not to negate what Ysuuf said. This is how Sha wants to give up. Sha pressed his chest firmly. His head that was remembered was now heavy.

Joseph did not give up, he kept knocking on the bathroom door that Sha had inside.

“Sha can talk for a minute.” Though his loud speech might not be heard because Sha lit the water faucet. Yusuf knew Sha was doing that on purpose.

“My brother is ready.” Shouted Nai who was standing at the door of his room. Nai semapt was confused earlier to see Sha who was standing rigidly in front of the door of his room. Does Sha not know? Think Nai.

Joseph approached Nai, who was ready to leave. Joseph took Nai by the stairs, when they came across Akbar. Akbar tightened his grip on the rice box for Sha when he saw Nai holding Yusuf's hand tightly.

Akbar ran up the stairs quickly. Arriving at Sha's room, Sha wasn't there. Akbar searched around the room upstairs. Even to the room when the one is fast asleep. Akbar finds Sha sitting down on the balcony chair.

Akbar breathed a sigh of relief, “gue kira lo where Sha.” Akbar sat down beside Sha who was still lowered.

Akbar saw one tear drop wet Sha's hand. Akbar straightened Shad's face and pulled Sha's shoulder to face him.

“Sha view me.” Akbar said again lifting Sha's chin which lowered again.

“If you want to cry, cry. Only this time, tomorrow I will not cry again.” Akbar Assert.

Sha's cry broke out as well back then. Akbar took Sha in his arms. Akbar patted Sha's shoulder slowly. Akbar was late earlier, it seems that Sha had already found out if Nai and Yusuf were alone now, whether to go where the two of them were.

“Sha lo-“ Sha shook her head at Akbar's chest, a sign she didn't want to talk about anything. Akbar fell silent again until Sha really felt calm.

Looking at the already calm, Akbar took off his embrace. Staring at Sha inside. Akbar's bead was right to look at Sha's dark brown eye bead.

“If you are sick why don't you just take off.” Akbar now agreed with Rio's words that wanted them to break up. Seeing Sha shake his head made Akbar confused.

“Sha you really-love yes same Yusuf?” asked Akbar softly.

Sha nervous, “means?”

“Gue wonder. It is impossible if we are dating, but we do not love our partner. Are you the same as Yusuf really in love with each other?” the question that was always present in Akbar's mind, plus Ysuuf's remark on the river last afternoon made him want to ask Sha about it.

Sha seemed to be made aware of Akbar's words just now. Sha had intended to make Joseph love him, but there had been almost a month more no sign of Joseph looking to love him.

Sha remembered the incident when he passed Joseph in front of Nai's room. A moment later he almost drowned in the river, and not Joseph who helped him made his heart cut. As much as she was calm, Sha refrained from crying again.

Yusuf waved his hand because Sha was just dumbass. “Sha you are okay.”

Sha turned his own nose into a sweet smile at Joseph. “Nothing kok kak.”

Sha stared fixed Akbar, “indeed we don't look like two people who slaing love ya sak?”

Question Sha makes Akbar flutter, “Gue also do not know.” Said Akbar who scratched his head in confusion.

“Oh yes this ue bring food.” Akbar tries to distract Sha from being sad again.

“Still yes brother.” Sha took the food Akbar offered, ate it in silence.

Akbar smiled to see Sha who had not thought about Yusuf anymore, “Sha you want me to call the doctor to check the state of lo?”

“Gkha usha kak.” Sha said with his mouth full, an anxious Akbar pinched slowly on Sha's cheek which was bloated due to eating.

“Telen first Sha, new answer hehe.” Akbar chuckles at Sha's behavior.

Akbar rattled Sha's hair, Sha immediately brushed him off. “Jail really kak.” Said Sha who tidied his hair back.

“Biarin.”

Rio who saw that head bobble, “gue sure there is nothing between the two of them.” Rio muttering.

“Yusuf and Nai where are ya?”

“Sial I did not become smoking because of writhing the intimacy of both of them. Mending me Waking Up When ah.” Rio rushed away from there.

***

“Kak.” Call Nai to Joseph who is focused on driving.

Yusuf had a quick look at Nai who was nervous, “why Nai?”

Nai squeezed the end of the shirt he wore, “ini really okay?”

Joseph looked at Nai, who happened to be stopping at a red light. “What's okay?” Joseph asked back.

“We both walk?” Nai hesitated to continue his question.

“Emang we want to date, right. Sha must have understood kok.” Yusuf, who tries to convince Nai, makes Nai feel more guilty about Sha.

“Lo not saying Sha?”

“About what?”

“This, we go both.”

Joseph sighed, seeing Sha's disappointed look made Joseph the most evil man in the world. “Gue tau wrong do not tell Sha. This is beyond my expectations, the cave did not expect to meet Sha in front of the door of the room lo.” Yusuf was shocked not to play when he saw Sha earlier.

“I hope I will explain everything when you have healed his legs later, I will explain everything so as not to misunderstand.”

“Now misunderstood.” Nai became increasingly concerned about the fate of their friendship. Meiihat the seriousness of the threat If it makes Nai ciut especially if it really happens, Nai does not want to be alone anymore.

“Nai, horrifying me.” Nai looked at Joseph who was now facing him.

“Whatever happens, I'm worried about you and Sha. Sha my girlfriend and lo temen me.” Lo is more important than girlfriend, inner Nai. There is a turmoil within Nai that he himself does not understand.

“Gue choose lo because I do not want to lose friends, I know Sha a good person. If not me who will take care of you?” the question made Nai stunned. He was not getting along with Akbar, Nai became moved by Joseph who was willing to sacrifice for him.

“Gue knows, Sha has been loved by many people so I decided to help you. Not only have I not been able to move on from lo, but emang I am worried about the state of you as a friend.”

“Still brother.” Nai was so full.

“Gue will explain everything, hopefully Sha can understand.”

Yusuf was sure Sha would understand, but Yusuf was not sure if he could resolve this misunderstanding so easily. Yusuf knew he had hurt Shad an Yusuf would apologize for that.

Tin

The light was green, and Joseph looked at Nai one last time. “Both you must heal first Nai. After this sequence hopefully you can recover, I will help you clear up to Sha so that your friendship does not dissolve.” Nai just nodded hearing that from Joseph.
