Friend of Longing

Episode 84

Alda cut the cake that was right in front of him. Aldi helped him prepare the dishes for Alda to use as a place.

" Aldi my first cake I specialise for you. Because you are the special person who has settled in my heart".

" Thank you dear".

" Everything's dear".

Alda fed his cut cake to Aldi. So behind him he also fed Alda back.

" How do you like the cake?".

" I like it so much, whatever you've prepared I'll definitely like it a lot".

" It's good that I have one more surprise for you".

" What?".

" Wait a minute".

" Why wait?".

" Because it's a surprise, if you find out first. Would that be called a surprise?".

" It's good I'll wait for him".

" Now come with me, and close your eyes again".

" Why should I close my eyes?".

" Close it".

Though curious, he kept his eyes closed. Aldi guided Alda's arm to follow wherever he moved.

" Beware honey, the road we're on is a rung, if you can't ride it, I'll carry you".

" Why do you want to carry me?".

" For if you fall, you will be in pain. And if you're in pain then I'll feel so guilty about you".

" Just let me fall and be in pain, because you're the one who told me this".

" Alright, there's no other option for me to hold my little girl".

Aldi carried the woman in front of him through all the stairs, because with Alda's eyes closed, he did not want the girl in front of him to fall even to the point of pain. If Alda was in pain he would have been more hurt. His shadow.

" Aldi is heavy. You can just drop me off".

" No, but you're just a little heavy haha, even so I still like to carry you like this".

" I'm heavy". While weaving her lips.

" No, baby, you're not heavy".

" It's up to you, but you say it like this just to make me happy, right?".

" No, baby, I'm telling you the truth. You are so light, what home do you eat? Why is your body light like this".

" Hmm are you insulting me now?".

" no. I'm asking you".

" If you ask like that, you're insulting my weight Mr. Aldi".

" I'm not insulting. It's up to you baby, I'll hear your prank right now".

Alda just kept babbling. I don't know where he's learning, but Aldi really likes it. He let the woman in his arms talk continuously, without her answering a single word.

" Shuttt. are you talking enough? We'll be there soon".

" Alright, alright".

They arrived at the top floor. Already there are some people who are willing to put in his position, to join give a tremendous surprise tonight.

Aldi took down Alda who was still in his carrier. He also instructs those who have prepared everything. He began to count down and slowly removed the blindfold.

The sound of fireworks. So beautiful decorate the sky, with the writing of stringing words. "I LOVE YOU ALDA". It's so beautiful, it's the first time his birthday has been made so special by such a special person.

He cried, because the people closest to him also celebrated his birthday. On a beautiful night and a special night, it will not be easy to forget. He will remember this throughout his life.

" Aldi thanks for everything. I Love You To's". Hugging Peria beside him.

" Ahem.. Are you guys done? Happy birthday to Al. May your relationship with Aldi remain like this until you get married". Keysa hugged Alda.

" Al, happy birthday. I'm happy to celebrate this special day of yours".

Alda cried, seeing his friends compactly preparing for his 24th birthday.

Aldi invited only the closest friends. Because he knows that Alda doesn't like fancy things. He knew that Alda would be happy if his birthday was celebrated only by those closest to him.

" Al, happy birthday. The best prayer for you. And hopefully you with Mr. Aldi can quickly go to a more serious level". Said Riki who had just arrived.

" Aamiin, thank you so much for preparing this. I love all of you".

When Alda said the phrase love everyone, suddenly the face of Aldi who stood next to him turned upset. Like not accepting if Alda loves everyone, he thought the girl beside him only loved him.

Alda who saw the upset face Aldi finally laughed, because he could not see the handsome face of Aldi who was pouting. He knew that Aldi must have been jealous of his words just now.

" Hahahaha you are so funny. Why are you pouting that anyway?". He said while laughing.

" no. There's nothing wrong with my face, right?".

" Hahaha I'll explain. I love everyone as my best friend. And I love you as my darling lover".

Aldi's face began to blush in shame, when he heard Alda's words that he did not expect. He was happy, because his pleasure made him go red.

" Your face why, honey, are you glad I said it?".

" My face is okay - why, what's wrong with my face?".

" Your face is red".

" What?". While walking towards the glass that was near him.

" Hahaha Aldi you must love Alda very much. Until you can act like that". Keysa added with a laugh.

" You're right, it's not usual for Mr. Aldi to act like this". Riki laughed at his Master.

" Let's watch out for you, Rik. I'll avenge you".

" Haha forgive me Sir".

Alda listened, then added the words that made Riki and Keysa unable to speak anymore, but they still maintained their arguments.

" When will you have a lover? Aren't you tired of being single?".

" me". Say them together.

" Cie you can talk together. I'm sure you guys will be soul mates".

" Haha, it might be. When I was dating the same tomboy rich guy he was". Riki said, tonight Riki looks much different than usual. Because it is not working hours he can turn into his friendly self. But only to a few.

" What do I want to be like? I also gamau kali same rich nyebelin lo".

" Hahaha, you fit in. Don't tell me what if someday you'll love each other like me and Aldi".

" Gamungkin's". Say it together.

" impossible". His words go back together, but with a different attitude. With an equally cold face.

" Cie Cie you guys have been talking with me. What if your destiny will really be a match".

" Udah Al, don't tempt them kasian. We doain aja yes, anyways Riki masi not yet I permission to have a lover ko. Because Riki still has to do his job".

" Some day Riki will get married too".

" It's Al, don't talk about it anymore. I'm horrified". Added Riki.

" I'm the same time". Shouted Keysa.

Dalvin's approaching. Adding to the conversation tonight, it melted further as the words Dalvin added made everyone laugh.

" You guys talk gini rich. Then what power I am now that is still incompatible". Dalvin's words dilute the atmosphere.

" Vin than lo singles. Mending Deketin was the aunt in my apartment. She's a widow, haha". Aldi said with laughter.

" Rather than me deketin the Aunt, mending me deketin his son times. Haha".

The atmosphere is melting. There is no more stiffness between them, Alda's birthday this time makes their friendship can improve again. Their relationship has long been broken. Until finally tonight everyone again enjoyed the night with a smile.
