Friendships

20

Day seven.

Arra came down from his room still in a dongker-colored nightgown that he was wearing, walking excitedly towards the dining table where his parents were. Again Arra is reluctant to go to school, his parents only understand. Instead of having to tell Arra to go to school and end up with Arra returning home at 9 p.m., better let Arra skip? Well maybe that's the opinion of the two Arra parents who understand very well how the nature of their Princess who will lose her spirit without Shendy next to their Princess. Shendy did bring tremendous influence to Arra. Even if Shendy dies later, Arra will quickly catch up. Might as well.

Arra sat himself in the chair he used to sit in, staring at the side of the place where usually the guy he already considered a friend sat down and had breakfast before leaving for school. Sunjaya looked at the Wife who was also staring at him then turned her eyes towards the beloved Princess.

“Arra?” Arra turned a glance after looking back at the empty chair right beside his left.

“Arra kangen Shendy?” Sunjaya asked. Arra suddenly focused his pendang on the Papah.

“Not really Pah, why does Arra have to miss Shendy? Shendy it's a bum!” Sunjaya nodded his head.

“Ouh. Kirain Arra Shendy. Though Papah just wanted to ngusulin so that Arra followed to the house of Grandma Ainun.” Sunjaya smiled meaningfully. Arra thought for a moment.

“That's also if Arra wants. Udah ah, Papah same Mamah want to go to the office first. You are well at home.” Sunjaya rose up after the Wife then passed after dropping a kiss on the forehead of their Princess Sematayang.

“Then?”

Arra muttered softly, after which a smile rose on both corners of Arra's lips. He quickly moved from the dining table and into his room. Don't forget to tell Bi Sari that she's done eating. Even though he had not even touched a single food that was on the table.

Arra will catch up with Shendy today! Well he'll pick up the Friend off that!

Flasback off-----------------------------------------------------------

--

“So Arra wants to follow Shendy?” Shendy asked after downing his mango juice. Arra nodded, confirming Shendy's question just now.

They were sitting on the same couch. Arra was still a little bit as excited, but his tears had already stopped coming out of his dark brown marbles. That way Arra told Shendy everything he had experienced for a week without the guy beside him. Shendy was upset when Arra told him that Sergio approached him several times and tried to invite him to chat, but when he found out Arra refused to invite a chat from Sergio in a way to poke the guy. Shendy's pretty happy.

Shendy was also surprised to learn that Reno did like Arra and was still trying to get close to Arra, from the story Arra heard. Somehow when she found out about it, Shendy felt a little disappointed and guilty. Making Shendy even more confused about Reno's attitude that often changes. Sometimes he is funny and thinks that Arra is a friend, sometimes he acts like a guy who likes girls, sometimes he is so perverted and obsessed, he said, and even sometimes Reno's nature is like an enemy who wants to take revenge on Arra.

Arra slaps Shendy's hand as the guy is about to pluck his balado-flavored cassava chips.

“Kok in tepak anyway Ra? Shendy just wants to take chips doang.” Shendy complained while wiping the hand that was the victim of Arra's tremor.

“Since the day that Shendy is more anxious Reikka, and make Arra sad continue to cry in Shendy's room. Since that time Arra has promised not to be able to eat Shendy cassava chips flavored balado have Arra!” Arra clenched his hand upwards.

“That's Arra's promise!!” Shouted Arra loudly. While Shendy snatched an upset.

“Yahh, how is Ra? Kan Shendy also wants.”Shendy began to speak in a contrived tone. Sweetest!!!

Arra shuddered in disdain as Shendy advanced his slightly thick lower lip.

“Hehhh, Shendy don't be.” Arra grunts dislikes.

“Why? Shendy funny well?” Shendy start ge-er.

“Funny from where? Arra disgusted to see Shendy like that!” Shendy bowed his sad head again.

“Arra is very similar Shendy.”

“Shendy is also very similar to Arra.” Arra.

“That's really how Arra is? Shendy, how about Arra?” Shendy's upset himself.

“That's really how is Shendy? How about Shendy?” Arra flipped Shendy's words again.

Shendy grunting. He is upset but feels happy at the same time, annoyed that Arra is turning his words back and happy to be able to get back to feeling annoyed by the girl. It felt like the emptiness in Shendy's heart that the guy felt for this one week was instantly gone just from seeing Arra. If this feels like Shendy is willing to be constantly irritated if it can make Arra laugh like now and the emptiness in his heart disappears.

Because to be honest, that empty feeling isn't pleasant. Making a tightness, making a huff, making helpless full of regret. Ahh what a hard taste to describe! Shendy doesn't know what to explain. The point is he does not like and does not want to feel the emptiness anymore. Not want!

Arra stopped his laughter when he remembered something that had been troubling his mind since earlier. He looked at Shendy who was still looking down pretending to be annoyed.

“Shendy.” Shendy raised his head, looking at Arra who called him with a look’ Why?’ With a happy twinkle that was clearly plastered on both of Shendy's eye beads.

“Arra wants something similar Shendy.”

“What's it?” Shendy took back his mango juice.

“Usually Shendy if you go to Grandma Ainun's house never get one week now until a week anyway? Nothing like Grandma Ainun?” Arra asked worriedly.

Shendy was silent for a moment thinking whether he should say that this was all his request Om Sunjaya and Aunt Ratna, or just lie, he said, and if Shendy has to be honest, does that mean he has to be honest about everything he's been through? Well, Shendy won't lie to Arra. He'll be straightforward. Isn't that a rule in friendship? Yeah, Shendy's gonna be blunt.

“Heheh actually this is all Papah's request with Mamah Arra.” Arra raised one eyebrow in surprise.

Shendy exhaled for a moment before telling Arra everything.

“Jadi gini... Pas Arra left school on that day..” Shendy looked at Arra.

“Before Shendy left it?” Arra asked.

“Yes, that's breakfast! Kan Arra go that way, well that's how Shendy story why Arra got angry with Shendy. So Shendy is the same Om Sunjaya as Aunt Ratna too, Shendy nanya they are not angry with Shendy? Ehh Papah with Mamah Arra even head bobbles and says if you can not Shendy to Bandungnya not 3 days one week? Gitu.” Shendy stared at Arra's impressed reaction still demanding to know the full story from him. Shendy took another breath, before starting to tell the story.

“Set there Shendy wonder why it has to be a week, so? Momah Sama Papah Arra says it gini ’Biar Arra kangen sama Shendy continue nyusulin to Bandung.’ That's what Om Sunjaya said with Aunt Ratna “

Shendy imitates Sunjaya's style of speech. Arra looked at Shendy annoyed, but questions were popping up in his head.

“Terus Shendy agree?” Arra asked to make sure.

“Yes, because Mamah same Papah Arra who asked so Shendy agreed. Although Shendy is self-torturing anyway.” Shendy bowed sadly.

“Hhahah we mean the same.” Arra dropped two pats on Shendy's shoulder.

“Ehh. Means a real one-week Shendy at Grandma Ainun's house?” Shendy shakes.

“Bright continue?” Arra asked not understanding

“Shendy same Papah only 3 days at Grandma's house, rich regular.” Shendy smiled looking at Arra who was getting curious.

“Keep home?”Shendy shakes.

“Then, before going home we stopped by Aunt Risty's house. You know what?” Arra remembers for a while, then nods at the memory.

“That doctor right?” Shendy nodded.

“Iya. Kan Aunty Risty's house is in Elite Housing, well fitting the way to the house of Aunt Risty, Shendy see one unit of the house sold.

There Shendy Sherching direct about how much the house in the area is worth. And when Shendy saw the price is not half of Shendy's savings for one year, so Shendy bought the house that Shendy saw through Aunt Risty.” Arra was astonished.

Evidently with both of his eyebrows are linked in creating wrinkles on the girl's forehead.

“So for 4 days Shendy stay there?”

“More precisely 2 days.” Arra frowned questioningly.

“Kan must be cleaned first Ra his house, and Shendy must buy the same furniture for some parts of the house, well two days just finished.” Arra rounded his lips to form the letter O and let out an H sound.

“Abis how much?”

“Yahh one year savings lah.” Shendy said cuek.

“Arra so want to see, yukk there!” Bring Arra enthusiastically.

“Let's be Ra.”

“That's it, will Arra want to see.” Shendy was silent.

“Ouh Arra. It must be because the house is small and the decoration is ugly so Shendy does not want to refer to Arra. Aye right?”

“Ehhh so good! Shendy decorations are never ugly. Do not want what house Arra who decor?” Shendy bragging.

“Helehhh well already if it is good. Arra want to see!”

“Let's aja. If the time is right.” Arra snatched an annoyed.

“Promise not long dehh.” Arra's face was cheerful again.

“Appointment well?” Shendy nodded.

“Yeah.” Arra smiled happily. Enjoying her mango juice quietly and with a gentle swab of Shendy's hand on her head that she missed for this one week.

“Ouh iyah Arra why the new Osis Inauguration does not leave?” Shendy asked without stopping his gentle strokes on the girl who was now leaning on his chest.

“Males, no Shendy. Bentar... Shendy know Arra's not coming?” Arra raised his head.

“Don't tell me Shendy left right after the Inauguration?” Shendy nodded, with a smile that could not be separated from the lips of the man.

“It is Ra, Shendy's time is not coming, it is Shendy the old Chief of Osis.”

“Aduahh Ra, kok Shendy is hit. Kan Arra himself who did not leave.” Shendy grimacing.

“Yah tapped the wrong Shendy. Why not call Arra keep telling Arra to leave, or if you can't tell others to ngabarin Arra... Ouhh Arra know, surely Shendy also-kan who asked all the friends to not ngabarin Arra?” Shendy giggling. Arra stared in annoyance with both hands folded in front of his chest.

“Sorry. Eh Ra want to know how the show goes?” Arra threw his face away, refusing to look.

“Yehh yes. Though well, fitting the Inauguration event tuhh seruuu bangett, all the children at the cry of the gathering time in RO, continue the new Osis also not on songong, but not on, ngehargain plus very respectful with the old Osis.” Arra. Shendy took a quick glance.

“Seruu really, really, what else pas Pak Anhar said if Osis our force tuh Osis the best and ask for new Osis exemplify our performance that never complained if cape or compactness we can said the bast. The oath is sad. Ehh home there are things that make Shendy enekk use really bang-” Shendy closed his mouth that had said something he should not have said. Arra looked at Shendy full of probing.

“What's it?” Shendy shakes.

“No, not nothing.” Arra looked at Shendy suspiciously.

“What's it?” Arra put his face close to Shendy's.

“Nothing Ra.”

“Long. Come story!” Sue Arra.

“Udah lupain, not important!” Arra is getting suspicious.

“No! Cepet story.” Arra keeps forcing.

“Arra sure want dengerin?” Arra nagging.

“Promise not to be angry?” Arra nodded.

“Oke deh Shendy will tell.” Arra smiled happily. He started listening well. Shendy set his breath. And start the story.

Flasback, back home from school after the new Osis Inauguration.

“How have you interpreted?” Ask Shendy to the newly appointed Chairman of Osis.

“Ngarti Bang.” The new Osis Chairman nodded in understanding of his duties as Head in the Organization.

“Good. You should be better than gwe Nad.” Pinta Shendy on the new Chief Osis owner Rainad's name

“Siap Bang. Gwe will try to make it better than lo.” Rainad said confidently, Shendy smiled faintly patting Rainad's shoulder proudly.

“Lo can go home first, gwe want to pack gwe goods first. Later lock the room gwe kasih tomorrow.”

Rainad nodded obediently, picked up his bag and moved from the sofa he was sitting on earlier with the bag that the guy was carrying on his left shoulder. The guy passed after a guy-style bertos with Shendy and said go home first.

Shendy smiled, he went from the sofa he had originally sat on to his pride table. Chairperson Osis work desk. Shendy smiled, he did not expect that the one year period of serving as Chairman of Osis had passed quickly. He only needs to pass exams, pass, lecture and continue his second business parents who have been mandated to him.

“Ahha emang time rolling quickly well.”

“Yeah.” Shendy turned his head when someone turned to his monologue.

“Eh lo San, gwe guess who. You haven't come home?” Shendy asked kindly to a girl who was none other than his Deputy during his tenure as Chairman of Osis.

“Not yet, there are still gwe items left behind.” Sandra said casually.

“Ouh. Kirain was just a gwe who was still in school after Rainad came home earlier.” Shendy pressed his shoulders at a glance.

Sandra looked around, and began to walk up to Shendy who was now sitting on the chair behind his desk, opening the drawer looking for the guy's flasdisk that he had placed there.

Shendy stared at Sandra strangely as the girl leisurely sat down on the table right in front of the drawer that Shendy would check to see if any of his items were left there.

“Lo why sit there?” Shendy still asked politely.

“Ouh come on Shendy, gwe tau lo normal guys who would benefit and if only two gini right?” Sandra said slightly bowing her body towards Shendy and stroking Shendy's face with her index finger sensually.

Shendy smiled cynically, it turned out that the news spread among his friends who said that the Vice was a girl ‘Gak bener’ was indeed true. Hah Shendy did not expect. Seeing the nature that the girl always showed in front of him turned out to be just fake. Shendy smiled wryly.

“Gwe did not expect this to be the original nature of lo?” Shendy still lets Sandra caress his face using the girl's index finger.

“Yes. It's gwe nature. And this is gwe. So wanna play with me baby?” sandra whispered sensually right in front of Shendy's face.

Happ...

Shendy grabbed Sandra's hand, who was about to unbutton her shirt. Staring at Sandra cynically, Shendy smiled disdainfully. Before throwing Sandra's hand rough.

“Uhwoww, gwe are very flattered same offer play lo San. But dear..” Shendy paused his words. The man stood up from his sitting position.

Sandra came down from the table as Shendy stood right behind her position, the girl looked at Shendy still with a face made as sexy as possible which was just annoying in Shendy's eyes. Shendy stared back at Sandra who was the same position standing right in front of him. Closing her face to Sandra's face made Sandra comment with a happy smile. Shendy carves his cynical smrik looking at the smiling Sandra as if hoping she would kiss the chick. Slowly Shendy tilted his face and whispered.

“Gwe do not have the same interest in your body that has been on sale here and there.” Shendy pulled his face and turned around about to leave the Room before Sandra's sentence made her undo the intention to leave the Room with the girl who was still in her original position.

“Halah, hypocrite lo. What the hell has spoiled Arra loved you? Huh?!”

Shendy quickly turned around and approached towards Sandra who was now standing in front of Chairman Osis's desk. Staring at Sandra with a flat but sharp unsheathed look, made Sandra who was in the face instantly speechless afraid.

“Never once lo bandingin Arra same lo. And what you should know. There is nothing more to it than Arra. Even your proud body is no better than Arra. So stop lo act rich gini only for useless things!” Shendy looked at Sandra furiously. Then take her bag quickly and leave the room where Sandra whom Shendy considers a good girl and has a sweet heart as sweet as her face was not as good as she thought.

Brakkk...

Shendy shut the door of the Osis Room hard. Without thinking about the door it will be damaged or not later. He simply dislikes and hates anyone who insults or compares Arra to their ugliness. Shendy really doesn't like it. Lucky Sandra chick that guy's been Shendy make sure Sandra will end up in the hospital with some broken bones. While Sandra in the room screamed like a man of infidelity.

“Basic guy damn!” His meaning to Shendy was already invisible to the eye.

Shendy walked quickly, without caring about the greeting of the cleaner even until the Teacher who was about to go home was ignored. He was angry, reluctant to answer a greeting from anyone. Caring for the devil if the Teachers who greeted him earlier would consider him impolite or anything.

Shendy doesn't care! Even the guy ignored the new Chief Osis who was about to walk back towards the Osis Room. Shendy doesn't care. He really doesn't care.

Flasback.

“Arra did not expect Sandra to be rich.” Arra's comment as Shendy ends the story.

“Shendy also.”

“But Shendy shouldn't say rich rough stuff.” Arra reminded. Shendy was made to not believe Arra's sentence just now.

How not? Sandra has insulted Arra but Arra tells her that she shouldn't say that? This Arra really.

“Yah my goodness Ra. He's pantes in rich kasarin that. It's just a talk, fortunately Shendy still want if he's a girl. If not possible now he is already in the Hospital.” Shendy didn't think it through.

“Shendy can't do that, no matter how Sandra is a girl. And the girl's feeling is softer than the confectionery, if burned with fire must be gone. Just as rich, if Shendy a little rough talk will definitely imprint and the former will be difficult to lose.”

Shendy looked at Arra not understanding. But he realized, Arra is a girl who is very easily concerned and clean. So it was natural for Arra to say so. What Arra said also has a point. Arra was silent as Shendy quickly pulled his body for the guy to hug and hugged the guy back no less tightly anyway.

“Ra, Shendy dear Arra.” Arra nods in Shendy's warm arms like a blanket to Arra.

-

Shendy just came out of the bathroom in Arra's room, today he promised to stay at his best friend's house. Itung-itung while copying the missed lessons after he permits one week. Although Shendy was not sure he could copy all the lessons left behind, because he knew Arra was ditching some of the lessons, but at least Shendy had copied some of the lessons.

Kan...right?

“Sini-in book Arra.” Shendy said after he sat perfectly on the chair opposite Arra's chair.

This time they took place on a balcony with a table and two chairs. The place where they usually do their work or study. Arra handed over all his books for one week to Shendy, whom he had prepared earlier when the guy took a bath.

“Shendy so nginep here right?” Arra again asked the same thing as before Shendy took a shower.

“Daddy Ra, Shendy has promised Arra.” Shendy started copying.

“Marine Arra?”

“Not in the next room.” Arra bowed sadly. Shendy silently glared at the smile.

“Not kidding.” Arra again raised his head, smiling with a wide smile.

“So Shendy slept in Arra's room right?” Arra. Shendy nodded.

Arra yells excitedly, jumping around like a child after 5 years who gets a loli candy.

“Udah Ra, don't shout like that, later disturb neighbors.” Shendy warned, Arra shut her mouth and sat back down.

Shendy shook his head, not understanding the nature of the Friend who is always cheerful when with him, as well as he who feels confused about himself who is always happy and happy when he is with Arra.

It felt like all the burden and sadness would be gone just by seeing Arra smile.
