Friend of Longing

Episode 66

" Al I'm sorry, I have to go far. I'm sorry I have to run the entire will of my late Papa, sorry if I leave I won't be able to protect you, but I promise, I will definitely come back for you. I hope you can wait for me until I get back here". Said Aldi while grasping Alda's arm.

Hearing Aldi's words Alda's cry broke because he had no power to hold it.

" Huaa, why don't you keep your promise to me Di?". Said Alda did not accept if his best friend had to leave.

" I'm sorry Al, it's too much for me to leave you, but on the other hand it's my late Papa's mandate that I have to live". Said Aldi while rubbing both cheeks Alda.

" I'm not okay with Di, I believe you will definitely come back here, I'll wait for you until you return". Said Alda with a smile but his tears still continued to flow without permission from him, immediately Aldi gave a hug and calmed him.

" Thank you Al, thank you very much". Aldi's tears just came out wetting his cheeks.

Indeed, at this time Alda felt angry at Aldi because he did not keep his promise to continue together, from the bottom of his heart, Alda hoped to get a miracle that prevented Aldi to leave.

But Alda must not be a selfish person to keep Aldi here. Aldi had to go far to the land of people for his training to become a strong and tough TNI General. Unimaginable by her, a longing that will surely always haunt her at all times.

" I really want you to stay here, I can't if I have to go through the day without you Di".

" I understand Al, but do you know, the way you're like this the harder it is for me to leave you Al". While releasing his embrace.

Aldi rubbed the Tears on Alda's cheek, then took a slow breath and prepared to say a feeling he had been holding onto the woman before him.

Actually he hesitated to say it, because he was afraid that his friendship would be ruined, but inevitably he had to say it, because this was the right time before his departure, he thought.

" Al can I ask you?".

" What?".

" What if I love you not as a friend for now, what if I love you as a human being?".

" You mean Di?".

" I love you Al, I love you so much".

Alda was speechless, really distrustful of what Aldi had just said, he tried to convince himself by asking back Aldi's feelings to him.

" Are you sure of how you feel about me?, and you're not kidding, are you? ".

" Yes Al I'm sure, sorry because I can't keep my feelings down for too long. I'm leaving and I want you to wait for me until I get back".

Alda smiled, it turns out his feelings had not been clapping one hand, because he already had the same feelings as Aldi.

" Why are you?". Ask Aldi.

" It turns out my feelings for you haven't been clapping Di's hands, I'm glad to hear this directly from you".

" So do you love me, too, Al?".

" But we already know about our feelings Al, thank you for your honesty. I love you even so much love you Al". Hugging the girl in front of him.

" Thank you for loving me".

" Tomorrow is the day of my departure, I want today to be able to spend a lot of time with you".

" Why are you saying back when I wasn't thinking about it, do you know how painful it would be if you left later, even if I imagine I can't if I have to live my days for 6 years without you Di". He said while crying, even his tears could no longer be dammed.

Aldi wiped Alda's tears back, calmed the girl he was hugging, so painful for him to see Alda's cry, indeed it was a hard decision for him to leave the people he loved.

" I'm sorry Al, it's so hard for me please don't cry Al, I can't if I see you like this".

" Do I have to look always tough, if the person I love so much has to go far to the land of people, I don't know how nanati we can meet, I don't know how nanati, what if I always miss you Di, I can't help but cultivate my longing for you later, why are you so mean to me when you give me hope".

Aldi put his lips close to Alda's mouth, then****** Alda's lips gently and long enough, to stop the girl's cry in front of him.

Long enough they kissed, Alda had calmed down a little and was no longer crying. But he was quite surprised by what Aldi did to him.

Little by little Alda released his lips that fused with Aldi, although this was his first kiss with the person he loved.

" I'm sorry Al, it's a sign that now you're my woman, you're now Al's, and I beg you if I go later you'll stay faithful waiting for me".

" I promise to be faithful in waiting for you Di, as well as you you must promise to keep my feelings there, and you must remember to come back, to meet someone waiting for you here".

" I'll definitely be back after all my business is done Al, so you don't have to worry".

Alda smiled and gave a very tight hug to the man beside him, like not wanting to lose someone valuable in his life, whether at this time he felt happy or sad it was his business.

Aldi pulled out his cellphone to open an Apk inside, he opened the camera on his cellphone, then invited Alda to take a picture together.

" Come Al I want us to take a photo together, to make a profile picture on my phone".

" Come".

After they finished taking pictures, they went back to talking.

" Al, can you come tomorrow to take me to the airport?".

" I don't know, I can't answer that Di, sorry".

" But I hope you can come and take me Al".

Alda did not answer because it still feels tight for him, now Alda is feeling when Mama Aldi left by Mr. Ardiantara even to be left for good must be so painful. And he does not want to until what has happened to the people he loves again.
