Friendships
17
Shendy gets out of the car, with Arra in his Bridal-style sling. Get out slowly and close the back seat door using one of her legs. Shendy began to enter the courtyard of the friend's house which was still sound in his carriage. Still sound, without feeling disturbed or disturbed by the occasional movement of Shendy who reached his body to justify the position of the sling that decreased.
Shendy stops his steps, right in the middle of the porch of Arra's house.turns around and calls his family's private driver.
“Pak Budi!” Call Shendy from where he stands.
“Iya Den?”
“Pak Budi please take the same Shendy bag Arra bag bring in and love to Bi Sari well sir. Then Pak Budi can go home, tell Mama to Papa if Endy returns home to Rara.” His orders were to the private driver.
Mr. Budi nodded obediently, carrying out what his Young Master commanded. While the Giver of command has passed, enter Arra's house first. Shendy and Arra have been friends since infancy, even since the womb because their parents were also friends before they were born. Even their parents did not forbid them to sleep together as they wished, provided they could still take care of themselves and maintain their respective limits. In addition, both parents also know that Arra and Shendy will experience insomnia or difficulty sleeping when they do not sleep together. So both parents agreed to let the two sleep together if they wanted to, as long as they kept the boundaries between the two.
Shendy could have gone home with the Arra family's private driver, but Shendy thought twice, rather than having to contact his mother who will ask his whereabouts and hear the concerns of the Mamah who is so chatty better use Pak Budi to avoid the carelessness of the Mamah. Good thinking, right?

Shendy slowly put Arra to sleep on the girl's king-size bed. Take off the shoes, and cover them. A smile is created on Shendy's lips, as he looks at the Friend's peaceful face while asleep. The mind again struggled spoiled in Shendy's mind, thoughts and feelings that suddenly appeared without knocking and asking permission to the owner of the mind and heart.
The thought that Arra will be with the Chairwoman of Eskul, the thought that Arra will prefer to be away from him, the mind and sense of loss slowly. Nah! None of this can happen! Arra is his best friend, as is his life. Shendy would not be complete without Arra, nor would Arra be complete without Shendy. Wellh, Shendy will do everything he can to make Arra just look at him. And always be his best friend . Must continue like that. And it will continue like that. Got to!
“Arra can't deket-deket same Sergio again Ra.” Whisper Shendy before finally putting herself to sleep and join in the dreamland with Arra.

“Morning Mah. Morning Pah.” Sapa Arra to her parents who were already sitting at the dinner table with a sweet smile printed on her beautiful face, inversely proportional to her slight mood.
“Bagy morning, Where's Shendy? How not to come down?” ask Sunjaya. Ratna was nodding.
“....”
Arra hush.
He was still upset about yesterday. On top of that when he woke up he saw Shendy sleeping next to him. And even worse, the guy said that today he would go to Bandung with his Papah. Arra actually wants to come but the sabbath that still exists makes him reject it even though in his heart he really wants to come along. And now the Father asked Shendy to him. Huh annoying!
“Morning Om, Aunty Morning!” Shendy came down and approached the three people who had gathered at the dinner table.
“Loh Shend, why don't you wear a uniform? You're not going to school, honey?” Ratna asked as she rubbed straubarry jam onto the bread before putting it on Arra's plate.
“ Iyah Aunty, Shendy is not in school because he wants to nemenin Papah to Bandung for Grandma.” Shendy answered what it was.
Honestly, it is unfortunate that the plan that he had been putting together all night had to be stepped down. The plan to keep Sergio away from Arra. actually could have the plan back to work if Arra wanted to come with him, but what could be done. Arra was reluctant to come, even refusing when he invited the girl.
“Arra not invited?”
“Awarded. Only Arra doesn't want to!” Sergea Arra just before Shendy answered the question of the Mamah.
“Loh why not? Usually Arra is the most excited if Shendy wants to go to his Grandma's house.” Ratna started kepo.
“Males. Shendy has it.”
Arra left the dinner table without listening to the cry of the Mamah who told him to return to continue breakfast. Her appetite suddenly dissipated as she recalled the reason why she was upset with Shendy.
Shendy is actually afraid that both of Arra's parents will scold him for making their child become upset but it turns out...
“Ouhh is so rich?... “ Sunjaya said after listening to a story from Shendy just now.
“Om same Auntie not angry with Shendy?” Shendy asked timidly.
“No to Shendy. Even Auntie agrees if you go to Bandung. But if you can go to Bandungnya not 3 days one week aja” Shendy staring Ratna full of questions. But Sunjaya's statement afterwards made Shendy agree to the plan of the two parents of Arra.
“Liar Arra kangen you. And nyusulin you to Bandung.”

It had been a week since the day Arra saw Shendy in the early morning. Means it's been a week for Shendy to go to Grandma's house. Somehow Arra became sorry himself did not accept the invitation of the man even though with a sense of annoyance. Ahh a house without Shendy like there's less. Arra's room which was filled every day with their laughter is now silent as if it was a place without anyone inhabiting. And it felt like there was a hole in Arra's heart a hole that held up wide and only Shendy could fill that empty hole.
Arra, getting up from his bed, walked to the study table, picked up an A4-size blank piece of paper, before cutting it in half and taking one of the two. Arra began stringing words on the pure white pedestal.
We're....
Who talk to each other but are silent....
Seeking each other but never meeting....
Together but never greet each other....
Together but do not know....
We're....
Don't know or pretend not to know?...
Together who drain time is real opium!...
Far away it's a nightmare we don't want....
And that pain we know is jealousy....
Arra ends his poem with a signature and Shendy's name on the end of the paper, before attaching it to Personal Made. Arra took the time to re-read his poem, not feeling a single tear drop just like that from the dark brown netra belonging to Arra, which was removed quickly by the girl with the white polkadot press.
Arra got up from where he wrote the poem. Towards the place where Mading Pribadinya is installed. Actually Mading it can not be called Personal Mading, because the filling is also not one person but two people. Well, who else if not Shendy and Arra.
Poetry had been neatly attached, Arra quickly picked up a slimbag and rushed out. Today he will visit the home of his Grandmother. Grandma Ainun, Grandma whom she loved as much as Grandma herself, Grandma who also loved her and had considered her like a granddaughter herself.
Arra walked towards the main door not forgetting before he told Bi Sari to tell her parents that she was going to visit Grandma Ainun's house. Arra opened the main door slowly, but a person standing in front of the door was about to knock on the door of his house making Arra surprised. Silence for a moment, until finally Arra's lips say one name.
“ Shendy...”.
