FRIENDS ... (Our Story)

Friends 51.1

Narra was silent on the sofa of his father's room.

After Hadinata's father had a follow-up examination, he allowed all the family to enter Sasmita's father's room.

They are very grateful because the Hadinata family gave them the best facilities.

Inside the room were two beds. One for the patient and another large size can fit two people. Flanella and Rania's mom slept there. While Narra and Rayyan slept on the guest sofa in the room that was no less comfortable and cushioned.

Rayyan was already asleep on her couch by covering the blanket on her neck. Only Narra is awake. It's almost one in the morning.

Narra grabs his phone, he sees his sosmed until his phone vibrates as a message comes in.

Message from Andra.

He must have seen me online. Thought Narra.

He immediately read her fiance's message.

[yet asleep, baby?]

Narra immediately replied.

[can't sleep yet, why does blum sleep?]

Before long Andra replied.

[i thought you might see you online]

[i'm fine with Nda]

[i'm there, right?]

[it's already night on Nda]

[i'm in my room]

It turns out that Andra did not come home, but Narra had asked her to go home and rest at home when her fiance offered to accompany her to look after her father.

Narra refused because there was already a mother and her two brothers who together take care of their father.

[sadly.].

Narra then replied.

[please love you]

[you wait a minute, I'll be there in fifteen minutes. There's something I took in the lobby]

[yes to Nda]

[yes what.].

Narra shook his head. His fiancee was definitely waiting for the continuation of her sentence.

[yes to Nda dear]

reply Narra finally.

Andra smiled reading Narra's reply. He quickly walked out of his room into the hospital lobby.

*

Narra meets Andra in front of his father's room after his fiancee sends a message that he is in front.

They sit in waiting chairs.

Andra opened the package she was carrying and took out a white food box.

"eat" he said as he fed Narra beef fried rice, his lover's favorite.

"i've eaten in Nda" Narra refused.

"i saw you eating just a little. Eat it again" Andra said.

"is that why you bought beef fried rice ? because it's my favorite, I must've eaten ?" ask Narra.

Andra just smiled and fed Narra again. Narra opened his mouth to take Andra's bribe.

"i know you'll want to eat again if you have beef fried rice" Andra said as she cleaned up the leftovers between Narra's lips.

Narra just smiled. She was happy with Andra's treatment of her.

"ka Nda, I want to quit my job" Narra said after a few bribes.

Andra was shocked, "why ?" tanyanya continues to feed Narra until the food is finished.

Narra sighed.

"because I don't want to harm Arjuna's company. He's been very kind to me so I don't want him to have any trouble because I refuse to handle Ardhan's project" Narra explained.

"are you sure of your decision ?" ask Andra while giving Narra a drink then put the empty disposable food box into the plastic and throw it into the trash can not far from their seat.

Narra nodded.

"even though I felt heavy because after I was dishonorably fired at the company before because of Ardhan's father, Arjuna who accepted me because he was confident in my abilities but now... I was sick of having to meet Ardhan to continue his advertising project" Narra said.

"do you think Arjuna doesn't feel guilty about you ?! he realized his mistake, it's just that he hasn't seen you because of father's condition" Andra explained.

"where do you know ?" ask Narra.

"Indra's been talking to Arjuna about everything. He felt guilty and handed the decision of the project to you. He will also hold an internal meeting to discuss the project" Andra explained.

"it's not Arjuna's fault I put myself in Ardhan's game" Narra said.

"dear, we'll talk about this later if everything calms down. Now we focus on dad's health" Andra said, caressing Narra's cheek.

Narra nodded. He rested his head on Andra's shoulder.

"ka Nda, why haven't you realized yet ?" narra asked while glancing at Andra.

"father is still under the influence of drugs dear" explained Andra. He hugged Narra's waist to get closer to her.

"what's dad going to be in surgery tomorrow ?" ask Narra again.

Andra nodded, "yes, Rayyan has already signed her agreement. You give me the spirit because I will operate my future-in-law, it feels different" he said.

"i always pray the best for father and ka Nda, may the operation be smooth"

"Aamiin, thank you my dear" Andra said as she rubbed the back of her fiance's hand.

*

Narra opened his eyes slowly, he was shocked as he leaned against Andra's shoulder.

They sat on the sofa in Sasmita's father's room and slept in a sitting position leaning against each other.

Slowly Andra also opened her eyes.

"ahem !" rayyan's voice from the side carried the package while sitting near them.

While the mother Flanella and Rania look from the bed.

Sasmita's father also saw them from his bed.

Narra shut his mouth. He and Andra looked at each other. Andra looked wrong because all directions were fixed on the two of them.

Last night Andra came inside because he wanted to accompany Narra until he fell asleep and then his plan after that he would return to his room to rest there.

"what ? how did you two sleep ?" rayyan asked with a contrived glare.

"pardon me, I just want to accompany Narra until she falls asleep but Narra is asleep on my shoulder so I can't bear to move on. I fell asleep here" Andra explained.

"sorry sister" Narra said.

Rayyan chuckles.

"don't joke anymore, Ray. We should have breakfast first" Flanella's mom.

Rayyan then split the food boxes one by one.

"thank you, I can have breakfast here" Andra said.

"actually you can't, but since you're sleeping together here you want to how else" seduced Rania.

"sister Raniaaaa" Narra pouted.

Andra just smiled.

They continued to eat breakfast with no one to say anymore.

"hmmm doctor Andra, you should get ready because an hour later the operation starts" said Rania after they finished breakfast.

"yes, I'll be ready soon" Andra said.

He turned to Narra, "bye baby" he said.

"bye ka Nda dear" Narra replied with a shy blush as she saw Rania and Rayyan holding a smile towards her.

Rayyan approached her sister, "hmmm usually the shoulder of the brother, now the shoulder of Andra. I'm replaced. Hiks hyks" sadly.

"sister Rayyan..." Narra hugged Rayyan tightly.

Rania and Flanella's mother shook her head while Sasmita's father smiled blandly.

"mom, I don't need surgery" Sasmita's father said.

Narra and Rayyan stopped joking, they moved closer to their father.

"why ya ? the father's heart was not functioning properly and surgery was the only way to heal" Flanella's mother said.

"father knows but the cost is not a little ma'am" Sasmita's father refused.

"father don't have to think about it, there are us paternal children who will handle it" Rania stressed.

"but Ra..."

Sasmita's father had not yet resumed his sentence, Narra said.

"dad, Narra please.dad wants an operation" Narra said.

Sasmita's father fell silent. He closed his eyes.

Meanwhile, Flanella's mother and her three children could only sigh because of Sasmita's father's attitude.

*

Narra and his family were sitting in front of the operating room. It's been almost two hours but the operation is still ongoing.

"Mother, brother Rayyan, sister Rania, Narra." said Faya.

"Fay, are you here ?" ask Narra.

"yes, my work is done so I'm here" Faya smiled.

"thank you Fay" Narra said.

"everything will be fine" Faya rubbed Narra's head.

Narra nodded.

After a few hours of talking with Faya, the other Friends came without Rea who was still filming and Desta who had a broadcast program.

"all will be well" Imel hugged Narra tightly.

"yes thank you Mel" said Narra.

"we haven't hugged teletubys in a long time" Erga said.

"no !!" koor Narra and Imel wagged their palms.

Erga is moving backwards.

Faya and Sheva immediately approached Erga and they hugged each other.

"we're teletubys" Sheva said.

Faya chuckled while hitting Erga's back softly.

"you guys.." Flanella's mother smiled looking at them.

Rayyan and Rania just smiled at the behavior of their sister's best friend.

*

Narra looked at his father lying in the ICU room.

Although the operation was declared successful, Sasmita's father's condition declined.

Andra who was behind Narra stroked the top of her lover's head.

"forgive me, baby" he said.

Narra turned around, he shook his head.

"you've tried, thank you" he said.

"we're out yeah, let dad rest" Andra asked.

Narra nodded.

After they got out, Rania and Adryan went inside.

While Flanella's mother sat on the chair was in Rayyan's arms.

"son of Andra." call Flanella's mother.

Andra approaching. He knelt before Flanella's mother.

Flanella's mother rubbed Andra's shoulder.

"you've done well, thank you. We do not blame the operation" he said.

"pardon Andra's mother" Andra said.

Rayyan patted Andra on the shoulder. He said nothing, just shook his head.

*

Narra goes into his room, he comes home with Rayyan to pick up their change of clothes and mother as they are going to stay at the hospital to look after dad.

It looks like the house is neat as before, only living a large photo frame, his portrait with Andra when fitting clothes application at the boutique miss Brenda.

"Na, you're getting mom's clothes ready. I was confused about which one to take so I just prepared my father's clothes" Rayyan said from the doorstep of her sister's room that opened.

"yes, Narra will prepare brother. Narra prepare Narra's clothes first" Narra said.

"i went to my room first" Rayyan said.

Narra nodded.

After preparing his needs, Narra went into the room of his father and mother. Seemed on the bed there was already his father's clothes that Rayyan put into a large tote bag that had not been closed.

Narra opened the closet and picked up some clothes and his mother's canal after that went to the bathroom to pick up the toiletries.

Not to forget Narra took the powder and lipstick of the mother on the dresser.

"enough" Narra said, closing the bag.

"already ?" rayyan asked who came with her backpack.

"yes, everyone" said Narra.

"yes we are, we go. I checked the doors and all the windows. Safe" said Rayyan.

Narra nodded.

As they were about to get into the car, Ardhan's car stopped.

Narra held her brother's arm.

"we can talk" said Ardhan looking at Narra.

"just here, in front of me" said Rayyan.

"alright" said Ardhan again.

"don't quit this project. You asked me to not cancel this project yourself why did you quit this project ?" ardhan.

"i will be submitting my resignation from the company" Narra said.

Rayyan looked at her sister.

"are you seriously going to stop Na ? working in advertising is one of your dreams" he added.

"not anymore" Narra shook his head.

He rushed into the unlocked car.

"Na, I beg you" Ardhan approached the windshield but Rayyan stopped him.

"appreciate his decision" Rayyan said, holding Ardhan's arm. He then turned around and got into the car.

They drove away from Ardhan who was still standing in front of their house.

"Na, you better think about it before making a decision. Let everything calm down first" Rayyan said taking a quick glance at her sister.

"Narra has thought about it, brother. Narra will help father and mother in the shop and sell juice as it used to" Narra said.

Rayyan breathed. His eyes remained focused on driving.

He will give Narra time after that he will talk about it again because Narra likes his job and if he wants to stop, he is afraid that the decision will hurt himself.
