FRIENDS ... (Our Story)

Friends 39.1

Narra got out of the car and Andra followed him. They then walked up the hill towards their destination.

"be careful honey, you hold me" Andra said as she grabbed Narra's body.

"iya ka Nda, but ka Nda calm down I've been here a lot so it's okay" said Narra.

"i want to protect you baby" Andra replied.

Narra said nothing more. He understood Andra was worried about him.

They climb the hill holding each other.

Upon reaching the top, Narra walked ahead of Andra. Her steps stopped under a shady tree, she immediately sat down with her legs outstretched. Andra followed him.

"the place is great" Andra commented.

Narra nodded.

"this is my favorite place and Rayyan's sister. If we're both sad, celebrating something must be here. We set off fireworks here" Narra explained.

"so after you two, who else did you bring here with you ?" ask Andra to know.

"ka Nda, Friends don't know this place. They know that when I'm sad, I go to the Erga circuit" Narra chuckles.

Andra looked at Narra.

"i don't want the events on the Erga circuit to happen again, I'm afraid anything will happen to you. I'm going crazy" he said.

"iya ka Nda, I won't make everyone worry anymore. It's just that something's bothering my mind" Narra continued.

"what's dear ?" ask Andra.

"what did you mean in the boutique ? sorry you Nda, I heard it very clearly" Narra said.

Andra looked at Narra, she had to find the words that her lover could accept.

"i want to be with you always, we'll be home as soon as our work is done" he explained.

"wasn't it because you didn't believe me ?" ask Narra.

"no dear, it's just that I feel jealous whenever you're close to any man. I don't like it, my emotions are exploding. I hope you understand me" Andra grabbed Narra's fingers.

"alright but I don't want you to get angry straight away unclear. We'll listen to each other. I will also do that for the sake of our relationship" Narra said.

"yes baby, thank you" Andra smiled.

Narra rests his head on Andra's shoulders. Andra tightened their distance and embraced Narra tightly.

"i love you so much, only you love me" Andra said.

"you always say that, so do I. I hope that will never change" Narra said.

"we are together forever" Andra said.

Narra then sat up straight, "are you sure of me ? I don't want you to be ashamed of me"

"why should I be ashamed ?" Andra doesn't understand.

"our differences are all too obvious you know, I'm just a shop owner's kid. Although many people think I have everything because I live in an elite area but you have to know, it's the only house we have after the incident. I'm afraid of what people say about our differences" Narra explained.

"what was that past event ?" ask Andra to know.

Narra paused for a moment then he continued his sentence.

"i don't want to talk about it right now, it's too much for my family. Especially dad" Narra bowed.

Andra grabbed Narra's fingers, "well I won't force you and one more thing, I don't care about anyone else. I just want you to always be with me" Andra then hugged Narra.

Narra hugged Andra tightly. They hugged each other for a long time until they let go and looked at each other. I don't know who started it, they kissed affectionately under that shady tree.

While it was ...

"father, mother"

A couple who were sitting together watching television turned towards the voice. The wife was unable to hold back her tears, she ran to hug someone who was standing on the doorstep.

"Faya.." he whispered.

"sorry Faya ma. sorry" said Faya hugging her mother.

"forgive me dear mama" reply mama Maya.

"pardon me too Fay" papa Farid patted Faya's shoulder.

"Faya came home ma, pa" said Faya.

"yes, baby, this is your home. Where you came home" said mama Maya continues to sob.

Now Faya is in the arms of her adoptive parents.

*

Faya entered his room. It had been a long time since he had left this room but the room was still as it was, it seemed like it was just being cleaned up.

Faya is back because of her conversation with Narra. His best friend asked him one request, he only asked Faya to go home.

For some reason every time Narra asked, Faya always could not refuse. Moreover, he actually had long wanted to go home, only he was afraid that papa and his mother would not accept him because he was disappointed by his refusal.

Faya opens a red album in her desk drawer in her room. There are several photos of him with Friends and Narra. Among others, Faya is very close to Narra. Until Faya feels something shouldn't happen between them.

Mama Maya enters Faya's room, she does not knock because the door is open.

"he's getting engaged dear" said Maya's mother.

Faya looked over and nodded.

"Faya is happy if she is happy, even though she is sick" he said.

"why haven't you ever told her that before baby ?" mama Maya said she knew what her son was feeling.

"Narra Faya ma's best friend, that's enough" replied Faya as she embraced her mother.

"dear, my mother understood that we could never tell you. This is so difficult for us especially for you" explained mama Maya.

"but I'm sorry ma, I'll keep looking for him. I need to know why my parents dumped me" Faya insisted.

Mama Maya nodded. He moved and patted Faya on the shoulder.

"mama wants to cook your favorite food, you just rest first" said Mama Maya.

Faya nodded.

After dinner together, Andra drove Narra home and said goodbye afterwards.

Narra went into his room. He put down his sling bag, pulled his phone out of the bag and lay on the bed.

He sent a message.

[Fay, have you gone home?]

Before long Faya replied.

[yes Na, as you will]

[but I want that too on your own accord Fay]

[yes, I understand. I'm glad I got to go home. Mama's cooking my favorite food]

message Faya.

[definitely delicious. I haven't eaten my mama's cooking for a long time].

message Narra.

[do you want me to deliver?]

Faya smiled to herself after sending her message.

[i've eaten Fay, next time yes]

reply Narra.

"when if you want, I can bring it for you Na" muttered Faya as she looked out the window of her room.

From there it can be seen clearly Narra's house which is only a few houses apart from his house.

Narra had breakfast with both his parents and Rayyan. Simple menu made by the collaboration of his father and mother.

"who do you want to invite at your application ?" ask Flanella's mom.

Narra thought, "nothing but Friends and her parents. I just want the nuclear family and them. Others, we can invite them later on the wedding day" he explained.

"yes, if Friends' parents have father and mother told me" replied Flanella's mother.

"father has also contacted his father and mother's siblings. We invite them later on the wedding day" explained Sasmita's father.

"i also only invited Rasta" Rayyan said.

Narra nodded.

"special something ?" ask Flanella's mother in fluent English.

"blum. Mother and father are calm, after Narra, I will find my bride" Rayyan said.

"my mom and dad are always waiting. We hope our children are always happy" Sasmita's father said.

"thank you mom" Rayyan said.

"i have good news, Faya has gone home" Narra said.

"thank God, I'm glad to hear it" Sasmita's father said.

"mom too, may they always be happy" said Flanella's mother.

"so he's found what he's looking for ?" ask Rayyan.

Narra shook his head but in his head came across a coincidence that he had not been able to find out the truth because he was busy with the preparation of his application.

Maybe after this, I'll talk to Rayyan's sister. I have to keep this a secret from Friends until I get the truth. Narra said in his heart.

"hopefully Faya can get what she's looking for" Sasmita's father said.

"Aamiin" choor everything.

Rayyan's phone rings.

Rayyan looked at Narra who looked ordinary.

Yes, his sister sent a message when their distance was very close. He immediately read it without causing any suspicion because he understood that Narra definitely did not want their father and mother to know until they had to talk in a message.

[later in the afternoon busy?]

[no, what's up?]

ask Rayyan.

[i want to talk, we meet lunch together how ?]

reply Narra again.

[all right, I'll pick you up at the office later in the day]

[yes brother]

Rayyan looked at Narra, she saw Narra again finishing his breakfast. He did the same, but his mind was filled with questions about what his sister was going to talk about so it had to be covered up from both of their parents.

Rayyan can't wait.
