FRIENDS ... (Our Story)

Friends 66.1

Narra looked at Andra who had been stirring his tea lemon ice. It seems like something is disturbing the thoughts of her future husband.

"is there a lot of work ?" ask Narra.

"it's over, baby, why ?" Andra asked.

"it was like something was being thought of" Narra said.

"hmm I was bothered by Faya's statement the other day and now you're going to meet" Andra tried to be honest with Narra.

Narra grabbed Andra's hand, "i used to say the same to Nda if I was just acting as a friend and brother because so were our parents" he explained.

"but it bothers me so much, I'm afraid he's taking you away from me because he's close to you" Andra said.

Narra shook his head.

Andra was so afraid of losing her. She was grateful to have Andra who loved her so much and never left her.

"i'm not going anywhere, I'll always be with you" Narra said.

Andra hugged him and occasionally kissed Narra's head. He loved Narra so much, there was no place for anyone else. Only Narra and he wish Narra were too.

Fortunately she chose the VIP room for Narra and her companions meeting so that no one saw their affection.

After lunch together, they waited for Narra's companions to come because they were unable to eat lunch together.

The sound of knocking on the door broke their arms.

The waiter opened the door and saw Imel coming inside.

"sit Mel" said Narra.

"i'm waiting outside huh" Andra said as she rubbed Narra's cheek.

Narra nodded.

Silence after Andra came out. Narra and Imel just looked at each other awkwardly.

"what do you want to order ?" ask Narra.

"chocolate milkshakes only" replied Imel.

Narra grabbed the phone located on their desk. He asked the waiter to bring Imel's drink.

Imel's order came shortly.

"Mel, how are you feeling now ?" narra asked after the servant left.

"i want it Na, from the beginning the taste was so deep" Imel said.

"why are you keeping it from me ?"

"because this is Erga, the one who is very close to us. I don't want him to stay away from me knowing everything but I want him to see me as a woman who loves him not as a friend" Imel explained.

"Mel now you know that Erga doesn't have the same taste, she ..."

"i want her Na" cut Imel.

"you can't do that, you have to think about Erga's feelings as well and there's Sheva who likes you"

"i don't like Sheva, I want Erga" replies Imel.

Narra just shook his head. Love makes Imel selfish. Narra had no more words to tell Imel.

"sorry Na, I have an appointment with the procurement officer of the financial office. I have to go" said Imel.

"alright, thank you for coming" Narra said without being able to restrain Imel. He wanted his meeting with his best friends to be a surprise for all of them.

"sorry yes" said Imel while drinking his milkshake until it runs out.

They stood up and hugged each other.

"don't be too tired, you just recovered. Remember soon marriage" said Imel.

"iyaaa, thank you for spreading my invitation" Narra replied.

"i'll help you, I'll go" Imel said.

After Imel left, Andra went inside again. As per the agreement with Narra, he would let Narra talk to his companions unaccompanied.

"all is okay ?" ask Andra.

Narra nodded.

Andra held onto Narra's two shoulders, "you can't hide anything from me. I'm your husband's candidate" he said. He repeated Rayyan's words to Narra.

Narra looked at Andra.

"Imel can't be told, he doesn't listen to me. He should have thought about Erga and Sheva's feelings. He doesn't just think about his unrequited feelings" Narra tells.

"slowly he will understand, you are patient" said Andra.

Narra just nodded.

Rea looked at Narra. They were talking about Indra and Faya.

"i've been very busy for a few days so I haven't seen Indra. I wish he'd come to see me so that our problems would be quickly resolved but there's nothing. He didn't break his words at all" Rea explained.

"Indra wants you to see him ?" ask Narra.

"yes, he said that I was sure of my choice.. Meet him but if I don't come, he already knows what my options are" Rea bowed.

"and your choice ?" ask Narra.

"of course Indra because I know how hard I try, Faya just thinks I'm her best friend. He likes you" Rea said.

"but I'll be married soon to you Nda" sergeant Narra.

Rea nodded, "but Faya's love is still for you" he said.

"do you want to meet Indra ?" ask Narra.

"yes, but my schedule is really messy. It's a good thing that Andra's asking to see my manager so he's trying to schedule everything because Andra's brother is an important client. I'm still the brand ambassador of their company" Rea explained.

The door opened, Indra and Andra went inside.

"you talk, I've booked the room next door for you to talk to and your manager has taken care of me" Andra said.

Rea looked at Narra.

"go on, get your business done" Narra said.

Rea moved, he came out and followed Indra behind him.

Andra sat down next to Narra.

Narra nodded, "they love each other" he said.

"like us" seduced Andra while embracing Narra.

"yeah..." Narra rests his head on Andra's shoulder.

"now waiting for the boys to come.. Hmmm hopefully they can accept each other" Narra said.

"includes Faya ?" ask Andra.

Narra nodded.

"but I promise ya, it'll be fine" Narra sat facing Andra.

"yes baby, I will try to hold back" replied Andra.

"thank you, I love you Nda" Narra kissed Andra's cheek.

Andra smile. He pointed at his lips.

Narra rolled his eyeballs, Andra immediately cupped Narra's face and their lips intertwined.

"you belong to me" Andra said after releasing their link.

"yes, possessive master" Narra stuck out her tongue.

Andra rubbed the top of Narra's head.

"don't tease me anymore dear" he said.

Narra smiled and leaned back on the shoulder of her future husband.

Narra's best friends come together. Narra asked them to order a drink before they spoke.

"you haven't made up yet ?" narra asked, looking at her best friend one by one after their order had arrived.

"we're fine" Erga replied.

"you have no talent lying Ga, I know you're silencing Desta" Narra said.

They looked at Desta.

"i know everything, don't accuse him of complaining to me" Narra said.

Somehow his friends are afraid to see Narra angry because Narra is almost never angry and once he is angry it must be out of bounds.

"Na, we don't have a problem. All we thought about was the feelings of Imel and Rea. They must be ashamed of this and Desta started it" Sheva said.

"i just want you to be honest with your feelings" Desta said.

"what do you think about how Imel felt, once he fell in love but did not reciprocate" Sheva said.

"Imel is fine, it's just that he still hasn't accepted the reality of his feelings. Ga, he wants you. Sorry Shev, Imel's feelings can't be forced" Narra said.

"what about my feelings" Faya chimed in.

Narra looked at Faya, "Fay, I'm getting married soon. It's enough Ardhan, you don't mess him up again" he replied.

"i just want time alone with you Na" said Faya lirih.

"how could it be so Fay, Brother Andra would definitely not agree" replied Desta.

"once, after that I will release you sincerely" said Faya.

Narra shook his head. He knew Andra would disagree. Just now he actually objected that Narra met Faya, let alone having to give her time to be with him.

Andra can be emotional again, and Narra doesn't want that to happen. Her husband-to-be was able to dampen her emotions and hold back.

"i can't Fay, you can't agree. You don't look like Ardhan. Remember my foolish act of following Ardhan, what happened to my relationship and you ? I can't Fay" Narra explained.

Faya fell silent. He walked out and left them.

"Fay, I'm not done yet" call Narra but Faya ignores him.

"let's just let Na, she has to accept" Sheva said.

"what about you ?" ask Narra.

"i will accept for the sake of our friendship" Sheva said.

"Ga, talk to Imel. Make him understand" Narra said.

"i've talked to him but he still wants me to be with him. I can't Na, not because of Rea. I will let him go but because my feelings cannot be forced" Erga explained.

"Ga." call Sheva.

"don't force me Shev, you love her you want her to be happy but don't sacrifice my happiness" Erga said.

"forgive me" said Desta.

"stop blaming yourself again Ta, everything has happened" Narra said.

"now, let's fix everything for the sake of our friendship" Narra said.

Everybody nods.

"i want our friendship to be like it used to be. I want you all to be on my wedding day" Narra said.

"Rea is in the next room is mending his relationship with Indra while Imel had to leave, there is a work business that he must finish" continued Narra again.

"i started it, I'll try to fix it. I'm sorry everyone" said Desta.

Narra shook his head, "i told you not to keep apologizing Ta, everything has happened" he said.

Sheva faces Desta. He extended his hand.

"pardon me" he said.

Desta was moved, she immediately hugged Sheva.

"thank you Shev, thank you" he said.

Erga who was next to Sheva patted Desta's shoulder and then embraced the two.

"i'm also sorry Ta" Erga said.

Narra smile. He took pictures of his best friends and sent them to their group chat.

"thank you, baby you guys"
