Friends But Love

30. TRYING TO BE STRONG.

Hearing the explanation from Susi, now Love understands, that what he did was not a mistake.

Loving someone does not mean giving up everything we have.

"if Nicholas really loves you, he won't demand anything from you" Susi said.

Love is satisfied and sad, hearing the explanation from Susi. sad because it seems like her lover always demands proof of the sincerity of her love.

by giving up the most precious thing in his life.

"Cin, it's late in the afternoon, I'll go home first, will you?" pamit Susi's.

"thank you, yes, I'd like to come by here." said Love.

"when did you get in, work?" ask Susi.

"maybe, the day after tomorrow." said Love.

"oh, healthy spit, yeah!"

"thank you!"

Love drove Susi until the online taxi she ordered for her friend came.they sat on the porch of the house, while waiting, she and Susi talked.

occasionally heard laughter from the two. Meanwhile, Rika just woke up from her sleep, she went to the room of Love, to check if Love is still in her room.

knowing that Love was not in her room, Rika panicked, and cried out to Love.he checked all the rooms, until finally, he heard the sound of laughter from outside the house.

"oh...this is apparently you, why are you sitting outside?" sapa Rika, who just found Love is sitting on the terrace with her coworker Susi.

"we're waiting for a taxi" replied Love.

"where are you going?" ask Rika.

"ga everywhere" replied Love.

"the testimony is for me, Ka." explained Susi.

"do you want to go home?" ask Rika again.

"yes.." - Susi.

"oh.emang when you come, I'm going home anyway." asked Rika again.

"just now, Ka. uh, the cab's coming, tuh!" said Susi, who saw an Avanza Xenia car stopped in front of the gate of their house.

"i'm pamita, huh?" susi got up from her seat, towards the car that stopped outside the gate.

"be careful, yes!" said Rika. Love just smiled to let go of her friend, while waving her hand towards Susi.

after the car disappears from their sight, Rika and Love go inside.

"already at this hour, why hasn't Tomy come home yet, huh?" said Rika.

"do not.." sahut Love.

"hemm...we cooked what, this afternoon?" ask Rika.

"it's up to you, Ka." said Love, while opening the door to the room.

"we order, huh? I'm cooking males again, right?!" ask Rika, again.

"yes!" sahut Cinta, from the inside, while closing the door of his room.

Love sprawls his body on the bed, his body and mind tired, he wants to sleep to relieve his fatigue.

he had just laid down his body, slowly his eyes closed. Love does not care if it is already at half-four in the afternoon, the important thing is that he can rest.

"Love! the food has arrived. Eat, yuk?!" take Rika, when she just received a package of food that she ordered.

as there was no answer, Rika rushed to the room of Love. "Love!" call Rika.

until in the room, Rika found Love was falling asleep with a fast sleep. she did not reach the heart to build it, and she also came out of the room of Love.

At 18:15, Love just opened his eyes, aware that twilight has come to replace the task of the sun, he also immediately got up from his bed.

Love went to the bathroom to clean himself. Because it was Maghrib, Love took ablution water, then performed Maghrib prayer.

"Love!" call Rika again. Rika thinks Love is not awake yet, and she intends to wake him up because the day is Maghrib.

but when Rika opened the door to the room of Love, it turns out that Love is doing his duty as a Muslimah.

Rika also returned from the room of Love and intend to perform Maghrib prayer as well.

finished praying, Love does not forget to pray, ask for guidance to the creator.ask for protection from actions that can plunge him into hell.

after being satisfied to have complained all the problems, Love came out of her room, approached Rika in her room.

"Rica!" call him.

"get in!" rika replied, from inside her room.

"are you finished, praying?" ask Love.

"it!" answer Rica.

"eat, yuk? hungry, nih." lamented Love.

"sorry, I already ate first. fitting new food nyampe, you sleep, yes already, I ate first." explained Rika.

"keep on, food for me, where?" ask for love again.

"there, I've been heated, really, at the dinner table." explained Rika.

"all right, I'll eat first, okay?" love, get out of Rika's room.

"yes!" sahut Rica who was folding his face.

"don't forget to take the medicine," said Rika, put some medicine in front of Love.

"yes, thank you!" say Love, while putting a mouthful of porridge into his mouth.

Rika sat in front of Love, accompanying her to eat.

"how? good, the porridge?" ask Rika.

"fraight!" answer Love, enjoy the food.

"(hello! it's like this, why haven't you been home yet, Tom?)" tanya Rika called Tomy.

"(yes, I just drove Clara to her branch office in Bandung.)" explained Tomy.

"(what's the matter, Ka?)" ask Tomy, Turn around.

"(no, just want to know, aja.)" replied Rika.

"(Love well, yes already, be careful on the road, yes.)" Rika's message.

"(wait! can I talk to Love?)" tomy Pinta.

Rika thrust her phone towards Cinta, who had just finished her meal.

"has..?!" Love is confused, and does not understand the meaning of Rika who offers her phone.

"Tomy wants to talk" Rika explained.

"oh....

"(what's up, Tom?)" ask Love to Tomy, get a call.

"(what's the situation, you?)" ask Tomy.

"(me, fine!)" reply Love.

"(have you eaten?)" ask Tomy, again.

"want tea, warm?" Rica offers to Love.

"can!" reply Love.

"yuk! we'll have tea in front." take Rika

"luck!" sahut Cinta, then get up from her seat, walk after Rika.

"hhhh....! better watch what movie, huh?" rika said, turn on the television.

"what, if it's a Korean drama?" sahut Love, enthusiastic.

"hemmm...idea, great!" said Rika.

"genres?" ask Rika while looking at the title of the Korean drama.

"what a fuck, dech! it's up to you." said Love, resigned.

"all right, I'll find a Korean drama that I think is good" Rika murmured.

while Rika is busy looking for the drama they will watch, Love is busy with her phone.

visible from the expression of Love's face, it seems again Nicholas is difficult to contact, but he does not want Rika to know the truth.

Love tries to cover up her disappointment in front of Rika. Love does not want, the young man he loves is increasingly hated by friends who are like brothers themselves.

"watch what, us?" tanya Love, turn her attention to her phone.
