FRIENDS ... (Our Story)

Friends 6.1's

Faya ran quickly down the stairs with a backpack on her back.

He's out of his house somewhere, he doesn't know. Mama Maya chases after him, while Papa Farid follows mama Maya from behind.

"Faya, listen to my dear mama" cried mama Maya trying to hold back her son's steps.

"let Faya calm himself first ma" papa Farid hugged his wife.

Faya rode his racing motorbike and drove without caring about his mother's call.

"mama can not lose Faya pa.. mama does not want" soak mama Maya looked at Faya who had passed the gate of the house.

"yes, papa too. We'll talk to Faya after she calms down"

Papa Farid hugged his wife. He understood what his wife felt.

This is something they have been afraid of all this time. Something they kept tight, exposed because of themselves.

Faya heard their conversation.

*

Faya's down the street. He doesn't know where to go.

He could not have gone to his friends' house, and his father and mother would have found him because they were a complex.

Finally he pulled over at the cafe where he and his band were performing.

Inside the cafe Faya sat at the bar table and ordered a bitter coffee, as bitter as the reality he felt now while opening his phone. There are some chat messages.

Faya reading group chat. His friends asked for his whereabouts because his father and mother called them.

Faya breathed. He did not want to discuss it first with his friends, he still wanted to calm himself down.

His phone rang, his friends began to take turns calling him. He activated silent mode on his phone.

"sorry everyone" said Faya lirih.

*

Narra scratched his cell phone. Faya hasn't picked up her phone yet.

Narra sighed, he looked at the long sofa on his porch. Where his friends usually sit.

What's going on with Faya, what's happening. Thought Narra.

A black car stopped in front of the house. Narra knows who the owner of the car is.

Narra had sent a message about the incident this afternoon but got no reply.

Andra said her greeting then sat on the terrace seat after Narra answered her greeting.

"sorry brother, I overslept. My phone is dead, the battery is gone" Narra explained once again according to the contents of the chat message he sent while sitting in the other seat separated by a table.

"you know, I'm so worried" Andra said, grabbing Narra's fingers. The other hand rubbed Narra's head.

"sorry sister" Narra said again.

The tone of the message on Narra's phone reads. He immediately saw the name of the sender and immediately read the message.

Na, I'm fine. It's just that I haven't talked about what happened.

Narra typing.

At least you reply them in group chat. So that they don't worry. Where are you ?

Faya typing.

Now I'm at a regular cafe but don't tell the others.

Narra typing.

You wait there, not where2. I'm there.

Narra closed his chat message.

"i went inside first brother" said Narra.

Andra let go of his grasp.

Narra rushed into the house. He came out again wearing a jeans jacket and his little sling bag.

Andra was confused, Narra where are you going ?

"ka Nda, I'm asking you to take me with you" Pinta Narra.

"where are you going ?" ask Andra.

"i'll tell you later, but my big brother wants to take me away. please..." Narra clasped his hands on his chest.

"well" Andra went into the house with Narra to meet his parents who were watching tivi in the living room.

*

Andra drove her car towards the cafe while continuing to listen to Narra's explanation of what happened.

They'll go see Faya who's out of the house. My mom and dad are looking for him. Narra also did not know what happened, he would discuss it with Faya if Faya already wanted to tell a story.

"i asked my sister to ask me out, because Faya didn't want her parents to know where she was. If I say I want to see Faya, then mom and dad will know" explained Narra.

Andra just nodded.

He should be happy because his girlfriend has a sense of caring for his best friend. But on the other hand he felt jealous because when he was with her, Narra thought of others.

Andra mengamit jemari Narra entered the cafe. They're looking for Faya.

Then Narra pointed at the bar table. He pulled Andra's hand towards there.

"Fay" Narra hit Faya's shoulder slowly.

"Na, Brother Andra, please sit down. What do you want to drink ?"

"i'm lemon tea, you baby ?" ask Andra to Narra.

"avocado juice" Faya answered.

"Narra really likes avocado juice" Faya seemed to want to tell Andra.

"thank you Fay" Narra smiled.

Andra just looked at them. There was a turmoil within his chest that was extremely strong, as strong as he was holding himself back.

After a long silence and drinks on the bar table, Narra opened the conversation.

"where are you going now ?" tanyakanya.

"i don't know" Faya replied.

Narra looked at Andra with a confused look. He couldn't have left Faya unclear.

Andra could not see Narra agitated like that. He also made his decision.

"let's see, if you want, you can stay at my apartment. I've only been there once" Andra bargained.

"thank you very much, brother, but I'm afraid of trouble. I can find lodging or hotels only" refused Faya.

"Fay, come on. I beg you" Narra clasped Faya's hand.

Andra stared intently at the hand link before her eyes. Narra holds the hand of another man, even if it's his own best friend but still it's someone else.

"yes, I want to" said Faya at last.

*

Andra opens the lock panel and then presses the id card and presses the password number button.

Apartment door open. Narra still can't believe what he saw, the passcode number of this apartment is the date, month and year of his birth.

"come in" Andra asked.

Narra regained his senses as Andra hugged her waist to invite her in together.

Faya smiled seeing him. Andra was so attentive to Narra.

"you can sleep in that room. My room is upstairs" Andra explained.

"the plan will be our room" continued Andra again while looking at Narra.

Narra blushed in embarrassment, he understood his point.

"Aamiin" said Faya.

"thank you Fay" Andra said.

Andra let Faya into the room to put her bag. While he invites Narra to look upstairs.

"this is my room, this will be our room" Andra said.

They were now standing in front of the room door.

"sister, may I have some time for that ?" said Narra slowly.

"when is baby ?" Andra grabbed Narra's fingers and rubbed the back of her hand.

Narra just fell silent. To be honest he also did not know if he was ready to accompany Andra.

Narra.

"you haven't eaten yet ? I'm sorry I didn't take you to eat first" Andra felt guilty.

"it's okay you Nda, I'm the one who suddenly took you away" Narra said.

"i want to order some food, what do you want to eat ?" ask Faya.

"what are you, baby ?" ask Andra.

"i'm just like Fay" Narra said.

"ok, beef fried rice. Andra's brother, trus ?" tanya Faya looked towards Andra.

Andra remained silent. He doesn't know Narra's usual food. Again, Faya knew that. And as if to tell clearly how close they are.

"sister, Faya asked.. What would you eat ?" Narra held Andra's arm.

"same as you" replied Andra trying to behave normally.

"all right, I'm down first. Na, I've sent a message in Friends chat group" said Faya saying goodbye.

Narra nodded.

"you go down first, I want to go inside first" said Andra as he released Narra's hand in his arm and went into the room and immediately closed the door.

Narra looked at the closed door.

Why does Brother Andra behave like that. Is Brother Andra angry ? thought Narra.

He stepped down and sat down on the guest sofa with Faya.

"where's brother Andra ?" ask Faya.

"get in her room" replied Narra flatly.

"is there a problem ?" ask Faya.

Narra just shook his head, "there's nothing" he said.

"he's very considerate of you" Faya commented.

"yes, but I'm afraid it will happen again" replied Narra.

Faya fixed his sitting position. He looked at his best friend.

"forget the past. I feel brother Andra must have kept you" Faya said as she rubbed Narra's head.

Narra nodded, "i'm trying to deny my feelings" she said.

"what do you feel ?" ask Faya.

"i'm afraid" answered Narra briefly.

"all will be well" Faya again gently rubbed Narra's head.

They did not realize there was a pair of eyes looking at the scene with sharp gazes and clenched hands.

After dinner together, Andra takes Narra home. They let Faya rest. Andra did not forget to give Faya a spare card id that she took from inside her room on the second floor.

*

All the way home, Andra just kept quiet. Narra feels guilty. But he did not want to ruin the atmosphere by starting the conversation.

"after driving you, I went straight home" Andra said without looking at Narra. He stayed focused on the front.

"yes" answered Narra.

Andra's car stopped right in front of the gate. Narra is preparing to come down.

"thank you" Narra said, opening the car door.

Andra held Narra's hand and kissed him on the forehead.

"rest" said Andra.

"yes, sister" said Narra and hugged Andra.

"pardon me" he said again and got out of the car.

Andra just looked silently at Narra from behind the car glass. After his girlfriend entered the house, he drove his car.

*

In her room, Narra kept thinking. He does not know how to respond to the attitude of Andra who continues to invite him to marry.

The purpose of a relationship is marriage, but not now. Narra still needs time to settle his heart, trying to accept all the circumstances they will face because of their differences.

Yes, Narra is still traumatized by past events. It's just that he doesn't want to show it to anyone.

Narra grabbed his phone. No message from Andra. Usually Andra will give news after arriving home.

Maybe you're still on the road or maybe you're still angry. Thought Narra.

Narra shook his head quickly as if removing the prejudice in his head. He went into the bathroom to clean and prepared for bed.

*

Andra threw her car keys on the bed. She's upset.

Angry at what happened, angry at what he saw earlier, and also angry at himself.

"how could I not know anything about my beloved. How !!" andra's hands clenched, he punched the wall in front of him.

"i love her, I take care of her, but that's it. The other I don't know anything" Andra punched the wall in front of him a second time.

"they don't think I exist. He clasped his hands, he rubbed his head and they were close together. That was someone else. It's not me" Andra punched the wall in front of her a third time and leaned against the wall with her legs extended.

Blood flowed on the sidelines of Andra's fingers accompanied by pain. He just let it go. The breath goes up and down. He has been venting all his emotions.

"sister !!" Indra barged into the room and approached her brother who was sitting on the floor.

After hearing such a loud noise from the wall next to his room, he rushed towards the source of the sound.

"Why are you ?" Diandra came along and helped Indra lift and hold Andra to bed.

Coincidentally he was about to take a drink of water and saw Indra barging into Andra's room. He immediately headed to Andra's room.

Diandra immediately took the P3K box in Andra's room and treated his sister's wounds. Indra ran downstairs to get a drink for Andra.

It's almost eleven o'clock in the evening, the servants may have already rested. So do both parents who choose to rest after dinner.

"drink first brother" said Indra.

Andra grabbed the glass Indra offered and drank the water.

"it's done" said Diandra who treated Andra's hand.

Diandra stood side by side with Indra with a sharp look. This is the first time since a few years ago that a heavy heartbreak occurred.

Now why else, instead of Andra being kasmaran. Thought Diandra.

"what's the big brother ?" ask Indra.

"i want to be alone" that's all that comes out of Andra's mouth.

Indra still wanted to talk but Diandra held back by holding her shoulder.

"let's go out. Let him calm down" Diandra said.

Indra also according.

"i don't know what's going on, but I beg you. Do not use your emotions" said Diandra then move and followed Indra from behind.

"thank you" Andra said before her brother and sister approached the door.

"sama-sama" choor them.

Andra stared at the closed door.

His right hand is now in a bandage to stop the flow of his blood. He then took his phone in his pants pocket with his left hand. No calls or messages from Narra.

Andra typing a message.

Rest up..

That's it, nothing more.

Not long after Narra replied to his message.

Have a good night, brother...

Andra didn't reply. He put his cell phone on the bed and lay down without cleaning, changed his clothes, and took off his shoes.

Andra was too tired of her own emotions.

He also chose to sleep.

Meanwhile, Narra looked at the screen of his phone. There was no reply from Andra. He also chose sleep.
