Friendships

21

Shendy still copies all of Arra's notes. Shendy Arra left so diligent writing. Usually Arra would only record the core points of the material their teacher conveyed, but see now, the girl even recorded everything from the teacher saying the greeting to the end, even Arra wrote as the Master explained the material out of the classroom.

That detailed?

“Ar-“ Said Shendy yawned in the air when he saw that Arra in front of him was already sound asleep. How long has Shendy been writing?

“Hmm Arra base.”

Shendy moved, approaching Arra. Tucked one hand under Arra's knee and the other behind his best friend's nape. Shendy slowly lifted Arra's light body, brought her into the room, put Arra's small body slowly to sleep on the bed, and covered her.

Beauitiful...

That's right, Arra was born into a family with sufficient finances, even more, so it's natural that Arra grows up to be a beautiful girl who is good at taking care of herself. Shendy remembered when he and Arra were doing facial treatments using the masks that Arra had. Arra was even very skilled at applying the makeup of his mask to Shendy's face at that time. Even during this time Arra was the one who always reminded Shendy to wear this and that. Arra told me to keep Shendy's face from getting pimples. And so now Shendy diligently takes care and takes care of his face. Profitable at once sucks.

Well fortunately, because Shendy's face so not acne and said handsome people, but annoying because where Shendy is there will be a girl who screams furiously when Shendy looks at them, even though Shendy just looks not meant to stare or tease. But nevermind!

Shendy was about to return to the balcony, before a tiny hand blocked his wrist. Shendy turned his head, and found Arra grasping his hand with half-opened eyes.

“Kok wake Ra?”

“Do not go home.” Arra said with his sleepy eyes.

“No, Shendy wants to continue to copy first.”Shendy explained

“Udah, Arra sleep first yah.” Shendy slowly released Arra's hand. Brushed the top of Arra's head slowly before returning to the balcony.

Shendy sat himself in the chair he was sitting in. Stare at Arra for a moment and smile. As if to convince Arra that he will not leave. Arra smiled back from his bed then turned his body and prepared to go back to sleep. Shendy commented that his smile was getting wider, Arra would be more beautiful if he was spoiled for her. Hence Shendy likes it whenever Arra is spoiled on her, she will enjoy it even if she herself is made difficult. Sometimes it's....

“Ahkkk crazy well, one week did not enter, the writing has been this much, what else if a month? Can be broken, gwe finger to nulis doang. Arra emang the bast dehh, gwe salute her.”

Shendy muttered while stretching his body that felt sore. Staring at Arra who is now in a position facing towards him. A smile re-emerged on Shendy's lips. Shendy tidied up all his books not to forget also tidied up Arra's book that he borrowed.

Shendy took his foot to the bed. Just a few more steps left, before Shendy heard someone knocking on Arra's bedroom door. Slowly, Shendy opened the door. Afraid of teasing Arra who was already sound in her sleep.

“Om Sunjaya?”

“Arra has slept Shen?” Shendy nodded.

“Udah from earlier Om.”

“Om talk to you. Can?” Sunjaya asked, Shendy nodded.

Then the two left Arra's room, with Sunjaya at the front and Shendy at the back. The two arrive at the family room, Sunjaya tells Shendy to sit down, and is immediately carried out by Shendy.

“Why Om?” Shendy started asking, it's nothing she's just sleepy.

“Om just want how Grandma Ainun is doing in Bandung? Healthy?” Sunjaya was a little mince-talking.

“Alhamdulillah Om healthy. Grandma also send greetings to Om the same Aunt she said when to play there?” Shendy calmly said.

“Sgrateful. I'll play there sometime. Shendy, Om actually want to talk seriously with you.”

“About what Om?” Shendy's taking it seriously

“Shendy you know, there is no one more Om trust to keep Arra other than Shendy.” Sunjaya paused for a moment. Shendy nodded in confirming.

“Shendy also knows, Arra can not if there is no Shendy on the side of Arra?”

“Shendy is also Om.” Sunjaya smiles.

“If if Om love Shendy the responsibility to keep Arra forever Shendy how?” Shendy smiled a little confused actually.

“Shendy will take care of Arra kok Om.”

“Umm... not as Friend.” Shendy frowned not understanding.

“Means Om?”

“Shendy would like it if after Shendy graduated High School, Shendy same Arra married?” Shendy was a little surprised.

Silent moment...

Shendy fondled, how to talk to Papah of the Friend. Because honestly if asked not to marry Arra? Yes, obviously Shendy would agree to it, even if he was not sure of his own feelings. But this was different again, there were still many of his dreams that he had yet to achieve. And Shendy is also convinced that Arra has the same thing. Again, what if Arra does not agree with that but he has agreed to it and ends up with Arra who hates him for life despite living together? Ahh it's too heavy for Shendy. He can't be hostile to Arra.

“Om Sorry, not what Shendy meant to do or how. Only Shendy is not sure about it Om, after all Arra is just as young Shendy-kan. Shendy is also still willing to pursue Shendy's ideals. And Shendy sure Arra is just as rich Shendy.” Shendy paused his words.

“So Shendy thinks make it now until graduation SMA later, Sharin Shendy take care of Arra in the context of Friend first Om.” Shendy looked at Sunjaya timidly. Who was replied with a big smile from Sunjaya.

“You are the best Shend, Om so be more salute to you. Om sure you'll be able to take care of Arra. Om also agrees with your thoughts.” Sunjaya patted Shendy's shoulder proudly. Shendy smiled back.

Arra slowly opened his eyes, he glanced sideways but did not find anyone he wanted to see. Trying to shake off bad thoughts, Arra looked towards the balcony, where the man who had copied his notes was there. Empty, even the curtains that cover the balcony are closed. Where's the guy who should be in his room? Arra tried to calm down, slowly getting out of bed trying his luck. Maybe that guy is in the bathroom, that could be right? Again, Arra's hopes were dashed, the guy wasn't there. The guy wasn't in his room. That guy Shendy. Where's Shendy?

Arra started to huff, he walked out, without regard for the cold floor of his house and pierced the barefoot skin of his feet. Arra was confused, where was the guy who should be by his side? Didn't that guy promise not to leave her? Not leaving her house? Where the hell is that guy? Arra is completely insane! Where's that guy, where's that guy he thinks is his best friend? Where's Shendy?

In another place, but in the same location, two men were sitting casually while exchanging stories about someone they both loved.

“You know Shend? If you don't have Arra already rich crazy, his hair is tangled. Her eye bag is a bangettt item, funny. Percis rich panda ahhahha!” Say to men who are older. Sunjaya Papah from the girl they were talking about, laughed loosely. Given how messed up the princess was when Shendy wasn't next to her son.

Shendy who was the interlocutor just smiled. In contrast to her starting feelings, she is afraid that Arra will wake up and see that Shendy is not next to the girl and look for her everywhere. What if his Arra thinks that Shendy's coming home, and thinks that he's not keeping his word?

From behind Shendy heard the sound of hurried footsteps, as well as Sunjaya who was still busy with her laughter. They stand, look at each other, while putting the body on standby if something unwanted happens.

From the back where they were standing the sound of footsteps became more and more obvious, Shendy turned around and found a girl with an unruly appearance coming up to him and unruffledly hugging him tightly, even in front of the Papah whose character is on their side.

“Arra.”

Shendy hugged the girl back who caused worry in his heart earlier. Right, what he was thinking, Arra woke up from his sleep and worried when he was not there beside the girl.

“Shendy why leave Arra?” asked Arra in Shendy's arms. Even Arra couldn't hold back his tears when he saw the guy he was worried about leaving, apparently still in his house.

“Sorry-in Shendy well, earlier Om Sunjaya wanted to chat with Shendy, so Shendy left for a while.” Shendy spoke softly, rubbing the back of Arra who was in his arms.

Arra let go of his embrace and nodded. Shendy smiled, wiping the tears that were on his best friend's cheeks with affection. Arra stopped looking at Shendy and turned to look at the Papah.

“Papah why the hell, invite Shendy to chat do not say first with Arra?” Arra looked at Sunjaya in annoyance.

“Ouh so now if Papah wants to talk or chat with Shendy must say with Arra, and there must be Arra?”Arra nodded steadily.

“Iya. Because now Shendy can't be far from Arra. Can't even be a point for a moment!” Arra hugged Shendy's right hand tightly.

“Daddy deh. Princesses masters.” Sunjaya.

He told the couple to sleep because it was late at night.

The two passed by tormenting the smiling Sunjaya. It turns out his mind is right. That Shendy did indeed have a great influence on the Princess. Sometimes fear comes to Sunjaya's small mind and heart. Afraid that she would have to leave the Princess far away and the Princess would be frightened and saddened when Shendy was busy with his work.

I need more work spirit!

The night passed, changing by the morning. A bright atmosphere enveloped the morning today, not only the clear sky but also the heart of Arra who was in a very bright atmosphere even more bright today.

Shendy lowered Arra from his carrier, Arra said thank you as usual, they got a strange look but they never ignored it as usual. Just like this time, Arra who came with Shendy made the originally boisterous class either suddenly silent. Everyone focused their Attention on the two different types of people with strange gazes.

Silence.

Until everything changed in just a second the class came back boisterous with applause and happy cheers from classmates Arra and Shendy made the two who felt the oddity just wince in wonder with a look at each other.

“Yeayyyy finally Shendy same Arra back together again!” Daddy yelling splashy. Everyone is back to applauding.

What's so great about that?

“Congratulations well Arra Shendy.” Nathalia greets both.

“Iya, congratulations yahh Arra. Gwe is happy deh.” Dynar did the same thing as Nathalia.

Arra and Shendy exchanged looks again, they were like newlyweds who had just passed through kabul and now their classmates greeted them while congratulating them.

Fixs Arra same Shendy percis newlyweds!

“Ahh already gwe same Shendy feels newlyweds!” Arra exclaimed loudly. All the people in the class laughed, except for one. You all know who it is. The right?

“Gais. Well, you guys are a dime!” Arra again shouted. All his friends laughed even more loudly, inviting the attention of the next class and some people who were passing through their class.

Arra was upset, rather than him talking again which would cause laughter from all his friends better Arra sat down. Walk by pulling one of Shendy's hands to go with him.

“Ciee newlyweds have been tug-of-war!” Cipto's screams were pumping, making the whole class laugh again curled up and some even rolled on the floor.

“Gas keep Shendy don't love saggy!” Regal also made a scene by chiming in Cipto speech.

Arra and Shendy just kept quiet without any intention of retaliating. Making all his friends more intense to mocked the two who just made peace.

“Eudannnn class!!!” Arra shouted, making a repeat laugh break out in the classroom 12 Ipa 3 on this sunny morning.
