FRIENDS ... (Our Story)

Friends 76.1

Faya meets Narra who sits alone by the beach. Andra leaves Narra to receive a business phone call.

Actually Andra has invited Narra to follow him back to the villa but Narra still wants to be on the beach.

"Na" said Faya.

Narra puffed up, he smiled.

"Fay" replied Narra.

Faya sat next to Narra but still separated the distance between them.

There is a sense of unease with Faya because Narra knows that her husband is jealous of their relationship.

"i want us to go back to the way we used to be" Faya said.

"you mean ?" ask Narra.

"yes we both are like this without feeling awkward. You are my best friend Na, we have known for a long time" Faya said.

"Fay, if it were like you said earlier if we were friends... But the truth is not like that. You still have another taste. You said we were friends but in your heart you are not sincere with that" Narra said.

Faya jerks.

"excuse me, but this feeling is so deep for you" said Faya.

"Fay, as you said earlier we are friends and forever will be so so I hope you realize your limits. I am married and I love my husband very much. We'll stay friends as long as you really let go of your race to me. That's it and everything will be fine" Narra explained.

"do you not have the slightest taste for me Na ?" ask Faya.

Narra sighed. She shook her head.

There was a sense of disappointment in Faya's countenance as Narra answered her question with the gesture.

"i love you as my best friend and that never changes" Narra said.

"i'm expecting you Na" said Faya.

Narra shook his head. It was hard to talk to Faya.

"so you said we were best friends but now you say you were expecting me. You realize the difference ? Never mind Fay, our conversation will never be finished if you do not understand the difference between friends and expectations" Narra said as he left.

"i went back to the villa" Narra said as he passed. He had no more words to try to give his best friend understanding.

"forgive me Fay" Narra said in his heart. He accelerated his pace.

Andra clenched her hands, she saw a sight that made her heart jealous and upset. He believes in his wife, because she assures him that he will not be more like her best friend, but Faya always approaches her. That's what he doesn't like. He's not comfortable with that, he's jealous.

"An.." said Ardhan. He also saw the incident and he was surprised Andra also saw it.

"he still keeps getting close to my wife and it's not because of friends but because he likes her" Andra said.

"i know but Narra didn't respond and you have to trust him" Ardhan said.

"i believe in my wife a lot but I don't believe in Faya. I don't want him to take advantage of their friendship because of his feelings" Andra said.

"i understand but I'm sure Narra can take care of himself" Ardhan replied again.

"thanks, I'm going to see my wife" Andra said, smiling as she left Ardhan.

Ardhan shook his head, "Narra is indeed charming but he is already happy. I have no regrets about my decision to let go of my feelings so that we are both happy" she said, turning to look at Narra who walked back to the villa from behind a window.

Narra packed up, while Andra was busy calling their invitation.

Last night they talked to each other at bedtime and Narra understood the jealousy of her husband. To avoid her husband's overflowing emotions, Narra asks to go home.

"honey, Alex and Alen are on their way here. Anything I need to help you with ?" andra approached his wife.

"it's over you Nda" answered Narra looking at her husband.

Andra then took over tidying their suitcases in front of the closet. Narra sat on the edge of the bed.

"are you okay ?" ask Andra.

Narra shook his head, "i'm fine, it's just that surely aunt Mel will mind a little because we're not long but I leave the answer the same to Nda" he said.

"i'll explain it to aunt Melani and Richard but of course we can't tell the truth" Andra said.

Narra nodded in understanding.

"ka Nda, Faya's attitude will not make you cancel help to find out the truth of her biological parents right ?" ask Narra.

Andra smiled, she shook her head then rubbed his wife's cheek.

"i will still help her but I ask you to keep your distance from her. Later let me take care of everything, you just calm down" Andra replied.

"thank you for your love" Narra said.

The door of the room on tap, Andra immediately moved to open the door. Aunty Melani stood on the doorstep with a smile.

"thank you so much auntie, sorry we're so troublesome auntie" replied Narra.

"you are our guests and we do not feel bothered" Melani said.

"alright, we'll follow you to the aunt's dining room" Andra said.

Melani smiled and left the guest room in Andra and Narra.

"we say goodbye to them at breakfast" Andra said.

"iya ka Nda" answered Narra and grabbed Andra's arm and exited the room together.

*

"do you want to go home today ?" murmured Melani disappointed.

"sorry aunt because there is an urgent work of Andra" replied Andra.

As agreed with his wife earlier that he would explain to aunt Melani and om Richard.

Faya seems shocked, but Ardhan responds to her usual course because he knows Andra and Narra are doing it to avoid Faya.

"honey, we'll see them again after we get home from here" said Richard, calming his wife down.

"alright" Melani said.

"what time are you going home ?" ask Ardhan.

"after breakfast, Alex and Alen are on their way here" Andra replied.

Ardhan mangut's.

Faya looked at Narra but her best friend lowered her face.

Narra who knew Faya's gaze was trying to dodge. He didn't want to explain anything to his best friend.

*

An hour after breakfast, Alex and Alen arrive. They were invited to breakfast by Richard but they refused on the grounds that they had breakfast.

Andra takes Alex and Alen to the room they occupy to retrieve their belongings.

"Na, do you really want to go home ?" faya asked half-whispered as she did not want Ardhan to hear her.

In the middle room there were only three of them because om Richard was receiving a phone call and aunt Melani to the kitchen to ask her servant to make a drink.

"yes, I understand my husband's work" Narra said.

"oh yes Na, our cooperation will we arrange the meeting after I return from here. How ?" ask Ardhan.

"all right, I agree because this is my last project. I want to open my own business and certainly not take my time as a wife who has to take care of her husband" said Narra.

"you're right, your husband can meet all your needs so you don't have to be tired of work. Being a good wife by taking care of her husband" said Ardhan.

"yes but I still want to feel like I have my own income" Narra replied.

"yes yes it's Narra I know" Ardhan gave his two thumbs up.

"Na, we need to talk" Faya said.

Narra wanted to answer but her voice was held back as soon as she saw her husband and Alex and Alen coming down the stairs with their suitcases.

"maybe next time Fay" Narra said.

Richard and Melani approached them.

After shaking hands with everyone. Melani and Narra embrace each other again, saying goodbye.

Their suitcases have been put in the trunk of the car by Alen, while Alex is behind the wheel.

"tante, Narra is farewell" said Narra smiling.

"be careful dear" replied aunt Melani waving her hand.

Andra opened the car door for Narra, after which he went inside. They waved each other again and the car that Alex drove with Alen sitting next to him drove away from the villa yard.

Andra holding his wife's hand, Narra looked at her husband and gave her smile.

"i'm fine, thank you" Narra said, leaning on her husband's shoulder.

No matter Alex and Alen, Narra just wants to let go of the burden of his heart.

Andra brought her head closer and rubbed her cheek.

"pardon me for not being able to control my jealousy" Andra said.

Narra just fell silent. She had no intention of retaliating against her husband.

The car they were riding in kept driving away from the villa.
