FRIENDS ... (Our Story)

Friends 5.1

"your birthday" Andra whispered near Narra's ear.

Narra turned his head, Andra was right on the right side and hugged her from behind.

Narra was shocked, he tried to move his body.

"nobody's gonna see" he scolded.

"let it go" Andra didn't care.

Narra sighed. Andra always does not care about the people around her when she is being romantic.

"sorry, I just want us to do this first" Andra said, as if knowing what Narra was thinking.

"i miss you so much" Andra said again.

Narra just kept quiet, he leaned back on Andra. While his hand rubbed Andra's arm which was coiled on his chest.

Narra left their position like that. Andra pressed her cheek against Narra's cheek.

"what's wrong with my birthday ?" asked Narra remembering Andra's words earlier.

"your pin number, your birthday" Andra explained.

Narra understands. I mean Andra, the debit card he had on him.

Narra just nodded. He had no idea to use the card. He will keep it to appreciate the gift of his lover.

"you're good cooking. I'll have you cook for me later, will you ?" andra Pinta.

"iya ka Nda" said Narra.

They stared at the view from the balcony of the second floor of Andra's house.

After lunch, Serena asks Narra to follow her to the reading room. Mother Serena wants to share her story. Just the two of them.

Rea understood, as if knowing there was an intent of the conversation so that he did not mind being left alone with Diandra in the family room accompanying Vinand to play.

While Hadinata Wijaya's father and his two sons spoke in the study. There are things they should discuss.

In the reading room, Mother Serena showed a collection of family photos and photos of Andra is still small until now while telling stories about the daily life of Andra.

"mother just asked you to try to understand Andra. All children have the same nature. Nice, polite and friendly. Andra has all that plus a great and very loving understanding. And when he starts to give up his heart completely, he'll take out his bad side very clearly"

"worse side mom ?" narra asked because all this time she had not seen the bad side of Andra.

Mother Serena nodded.

"The Hydra can be very grumpy if something happens beyond its limits. He could have been rude and even hurt himself. And when that happens, mom just wants you to hang on. Never leave him. He is very in love with you. You can tell by the way he treats you. So, never do something that can make her angry and leave her because she will be destroyed" Serena explained.

Narra nodded in understanding. She recalled the time Andra spoke loudly to her in the hospital. Thankfully it wasn't long.

"why Na ?" ask mother Serena.

Narra shook his head, "it's okay mom" Narra said.

"talk if there is something stuck in your heart" said Mother Serena while holding Narra's hands.

"does anyone ever make Brother Andra angry mother ?" ask Narra carefully. She prepared her heart to hear Serena's answer because it meant there was once a deep story for Andra.

"Name Jeniffer. Our family was friendly and therefore they became familiar. But it turns out Jeniffer never loved Andra, she chose to go with her lover somewhere until now. Though at that time we will talk about their relationship" explained Mother Serena.

"what happened mom ?" ask Narra.

"Andra is heartbroken and shuts himself off from all friendships. He was busy studying and working. Until he finally changed and we all found out why. All because of you. We already knew about you before, so we were not too surprised by our introduction the other day" explained Mother Serena.

Narra was trying to understand what was happening. The story is similar to Andra's. They are both abandoned, the only difference is the background of why it happened.

The door is knocked.

They turned their eyes towards the door.

The views of Mother Serena and Narra were fixed on the incoming Andra.

"mom's done talking to Narra ?" tanya Andra stood next to Narra's chair.

"yes An, are you going ?" ask mother Serena.

Andra shook her head, "I want to take Narra to my favorite place in this house bun" he said.

Mother Serena nodded in understanding. His son wants time alone with his girlfriend.

"ooo alright. Mother came out first" Mother Serena stood up and Narra followed.

Mother Serena hugged Narra and then placed her right cheek and then her left cheek. Mother also patted Andra's shoulder before saying goodbye to the reading room.

And here they are now. On a second-floor balcony overlooking the garden behind the house featuring a view of the surrounding nature that is bounded by high walls.

Narra only fell silent as soon as the two of them were in the car as Andra drove him home.

Andra looked at Narra occasionally.

"what's up ?" his left hand caressed Narra's hair.

Narra turned his head, "can't you take me to Imel's house ? I'll go home by myself" he said.

"why ?" ask Andra.

"it's okay, I just want to go there" replied Narra.

Friends house one complex. They are very friendly for a long time, from small to school in the same place until High School because their parents send school in the home complex. It was only during college that they split up but it did not affect their friendship.

"all right, we go back to your house first and I drive you back to Imel's house" Andra said, making a deal. He did not want to give the impression of being unkind to both of Narra's parents for not taking their daughter home again.

Narra nodded.

*

"what are you talking about ?" andra finally asked on their way to Imel's house.

After taking Narra home. Narra said he wanted to go to Imel's house and Andra would take him there and then go home because he had to go to the hospital.

Narra thought not to tell Andra the truth. He didn't want Andra to know what he was thinking.

"the story of brother from childhood until now" replied Narra.

"that's it ?" ask Andra again.

Narra nodded.

They arrived in front of Imel's house. Narra said he was going down but Andra prevented him.

"what's up, brother ?" ask Narra.

"i want to before we part after leaving together always like this" he said, kissing Narra's forehead.

Narra smiled as Andra let go of the touch on her forehead.

"you're fine, I'll call you when I'm done with work" he said.

"yes sister" Narra nodded.

Andra pulled Narra's hand, "hey, sure you're okay ?" tanyanya because she felt something stuck in her lover.

Narra nodded again. He kissed Andra's cheek.

"i'm doing fine. Bye ka Nda" she said.

"bye my dear" Andra held her cheek while smiling happily.

For some reason, he always liked the surprise from Narra. He now feels like a real lover. Narra changed his world. A rigid and shut-in Andra becomes more open when with Narra.

Narra went straight to Imel's room after his servant told him that the lady had entered the room after lunch.

Narra already knew the custom of Imel on Sundays. Imel will spend time lounging in his room while watching a basketball game he missed.

"Mel, can I come in ?" narra shouted after knocking on the door of the room.

"into Na" replied Imel from the room.

Narra went in and lay on Imel's bed.

"how was the meeting ?" ask Imel.

"good, everything is good" replied Narra.

Rea posted a picture of the two of them in the middle of Hadinata Wijaya's family in their group chat.

His friends responded positively and prayed that the introductory meeting would run smoothly.

Tone of a message from Narra's phone. Narra immediately saw his phone.

The Ka Nda.

I've arrived at the RS. I work first baby, bye ❤

Narra.

Yes to Nda, bye 😍

Narra then put his phone on the nightstand. He accompanied Imel to watch the match until his eyes felt heavy, he fell asleep.

*

At the hospital, Andra was restless. He walked here and there in his room.

After finishing her work, Andra tries to contact Narra but her lover's phone is off.

"why is your phone not active dear" Andra spoke to herself by holding the phone still attached to her left ear.

He was about to call Imel but he didn't have his number.

Then he called Indra. At first he was about to ask Rea for a number, who knew Rea could help him. But he immediately asked Imel's contact number, who knew Indra had.

"yes sister, I share" Indra closed her phone.

Before long, Indra sends Rea's number because she also does not have Imel's number. Andra contacted him immediately.

Andra tells a little about Narra who went to Imel's house after the family meeting and Narra's number which is now inactive.

Rea sent me Imel's number.

Andra called Imel. His call was connected making him even more impatient to get an explanation about Narra.

Imel answered Andra's phone call. She tells Andra that Narra has just returned home after falling asleep in her room.

"thank you Mel. I'm so worried she's not answering the phone" Andra was relieved.

"sama-sama brother. I understand" said Imel.

Andra closed her phone. He rushed to the dressing room that was available exclusively in his room to take a shower and change clothes. He's going straight to Narra's house.

Her glassy feelings would be treated if she had already met Narra. Her thought.
