FRIENDS ... (Our Story)

The Friends 83

Narra entered his room, he felt tired. Just about to close his eyes, the door of his room was knocked.

"yes, for a moment" Narra said half-screaming.

He opened the door to his room. His brother was standing at the door.

"you're getting some rest" he said.

"it's okay, brother just came home ?" ask Narra.

"yes, I delivered the car to the client. You stay here ?" ask Rayyan.

Narra.

"i don't know, I'm still waiting for you to come here" replied Narra.

"we eat out yuk, brother misses sister" said Rayyan.

Narra smile.

"let's take mom and dad" Narra said.

"may" said Rayyan.

They headed to the kitchen, looking like their mother and aunt were cooking for dinner.

"mom's cooking ?" ask Rayyan.

"yes, why ?" ask Flanella's mom.

"we want to eat out" Narra said.

"ooo, yes you guys are gone is fine" Flanella's mother said.

Sasmita's father entered the kitchen, joining the conversation between his wife and two children.

"don't you have dinner together here ?" ask dad.

"i've missed the road with my sister well, can we go out ?" said Rayyan.

"father actually wants us to eat together, let alone Narra just coming. How about after dinner you guys get out ? You're out eating ice cream" Sasmita's father said.

Narra and Rayyan looked at each other.

"okay, agree !" they say.

"Narra help mom and aunt" Narra said.

"no, your father and brother miss you very much. Already, accompany them to watch television" said Flanella's mother.

"yes mother" answered Narra.

He followed his father and brother towards the living room. They watched together while telling stories about Narra's life at home.

Narra's cell phone message tones are ringing. He immediately saw the message.

From husband.

[sad, I'm sorry. I can't have dinner with you because I have a lot of work. I ate with Alex and Alen in the office]

Narra immediately replied to him.

[yes, it's okay for Nda. I want permission too. After dinner I'm going out to eat ice cream with brother Rayyan]

Andra also replied.

[yes I can but remember, not so much my dear]

[yes dear, love you ❤] reply Narra.

[love you more ❤] reply Andra.

Narra put his phone back on.

"from Andra ?" ask father.

"yes he said he can't have dinner together, there's still a lot of work" Narra replied.

"he's a hard worker" Rayyan commented.

Narra nodded.

In the room Andra ...

"so they want to go on vacation ?" andra repeated to Alen after putting his phone down after sending a message to his wife.

"what I caught, it was just an excuse for Faya to take a medical test but since Sheva is going to Chef's school maybe they will really arrange a vacation" explained Alen.

"and the man doesn't want me to come" Andra said.

"he doesn't seem to have let go of Narra" Alex commented.

"yes, she became a shadow in our household" Andra said.

"but they were friendly, however Faya would always be in Narra's life. Except...." Alex did not continue his sentence.

"except what ?" ask Andra.

"they are not friends anymore" Alen said.

Alex gave his thumb to his sister.

Andra leaned on her chair. He thought about Alex and Alen. How could it make them unfriendly, that was something impossible.

"but yes it depends on Faya, if she releases her feelings sincerely. Maybe Narra will feel comfortable being friendly with him. And you can coexist without any problems" Alex said.

"do you think Narra will let go of his friendship ?" ask Andra.

"maybe, now she's keeping her distance because she's keeping your feelings as her husband. Narra was aware of his current status, only... He still hopes Faya can change" Alex explained.

"i want Narra to be happy with me but I also have to understand they were already together before I was" Andra said.

Alex gaped, his mouth forming a large O.

"bro is real ?!" he said, patting her cheek.

Andra looked at Alex.

"why ?" tanyakanya.

"The hydra I know, doesn't melt like this. He's always hard on what he has" Alex said.

"because Narra. I love her so much, I don't want to lose her and want her to be happy with me. And I just follow the advice that comes to me if I have to beat my ego and temper my emotions or I will lose Narra" Andra explained.

"that's how it should be. It's only fitting that I never see any more bruises or wounds on you" Alex chuckled.

Andra throws Alex with unused scribble paper that he has squeezed until it forms a ball.

"it's work again, I don't want us to sleep in the office" he said.

Alex just shook his head and refocused on his laptop.

Alen also sits back on the couch with Alex and grabs her laptop to help get their work done.

Narra told me all about Faya's attitude towards Rayyan.

At first Rayyan only responded normally because she had actually suspected that Faya had a taste in her sister but after Narra told her in full what Faya had done and said, she was furious.

"then you don't have to help him" Rayyan said.

"but brother, kasian aunt Melani... He misses his son very much. The time I knew the connection was silent" Narra replied.

"yes sister is upset, Faya can not be told. It's a matter of the heart, you don't like him and you are also married and have a husband yes already, erase your feelings anyway you can still be close as a friend" Rayyan explained.

"but instead Faya uses our friendship to heat up the Nda" Narra said.

"do you need a sister to talk to Faya ?" rayyan asked as she fed her ice cream.

"it's up to sister but luckily you're still not provoked by emotions so I still feel fine and don't care. But I don't like him not appreciating my husband" Narra explained, enjoying his ice cream.

"sister wishes you were always happy" Rayyan rubbed the top of his sister's head.

"sister, I've got someone to take care of.. Brother doesn't want to have someone accompany big brother ?" ask Narra.

"i'm still comfortable with my situation" Rayyan said.

"but he's been gone for years and with no news, will big brother keep waiting ?" narra said carefully.

Rayyan had been seen alone but actually she had a lover since college, only a year after her lover's creation disappeared and until now did not know the news at all. It's been five years since he left and Rayyan is still alone.

It was only Narra and Rasta who knew about it because Rayyan only told Narra in her family. She was more comfortable telling Narra than Rania or her parents because they were both very close from childhood and also Narra did not give any advice that made her dizzy, his head, his sister just kept it without commenting as she wanted because she just wanted to be listened to.

"i just live my life, if there will be someone moving my heart, maybe I will try it" said Rayyan.

"i also hope that Rayyan's brother is always happy" Narra said. He put his head on his sister's shoulder.

Rayyan tightened her seat and gently stroked Narra's hair.

"you see, everyone is looking at us. They must think we're a couple" Rayyan cheered.

"let it go, I just want to show it to my brother" Narra replied.

Rayyan shook her head.

The two of them were silent for a long time with such a position. Narra was comfortable. He hopes that all the problems will pass soon.
