I Was In Love One Night

I Was In Love One Night
khilaf



After going through one hard day, still wrapped in sadness, Fira was finally able to smile.


He looked at the handsome face that was now in front of him. Chiko, the man who slightly assuaged her grief.


That afternoon, Fira rushes to meet the man who became her old friend first. Because his longing was unstoppable again, he finally decided to approach the man.


"Hi." Fira kissed her best friend's left cheek and right cheek, as they used to do when they met. Cipika-cipiki as one loaded their meeting.


Fira sat opposite Chiko Fernando. Waw, it feels like for a long time he has not seen the handsome face that he once admired.


"Fir, long time no see. You're getting prettier," praised Chiko with a wide arch on her lips. Making Fira blush in shame listening to the praise of her best friend.


Honey, they used to be separated, no matter what happened to Chiko until she forgot the memories of their friendship. Fira wanted to question that.


"Ah can you tease me," added Fira.


"Oh yeah, Ko you've been anywhere all this time. After graduation that day, I never saw you again. Did you deliberately stay away from me?" ask Fira curiously. He stared at the man who had stopped by him.


If at this time, she is still curious about the news of Chiko, because she is afraid there is only one man, her own husband.


"At that time I had to go out of town. I went to college there. In Kalimantan, I complained about the fate of working while in college," he said flatly.


"Lantas, why didn't you call me? Is it just high school time our friendship?" continued Fira, he was still staring intently at the man in front of him.


"Hmmm I think we better get separated. To be honest, until this moment I can't forget you. Even I don't anchor my heart to any woman" she dramatized. Chiko is now a widower.


"Ah is right? So you've never been married?" Fira doesn't believe Chiko's words. He wanted to dig deeper into Chiko.


"Already! I've been married, but I don't love her. I see there's only you Fir. It's been a while since I've wanted to see you, but I'm scared." Chiko and Fira are sitting in a cafe, just the two of them.


Even Fira had not previously told her husband that she had left the house for the man in front of her at this time.


"Oh! I thought you were still single. I didn't believe it. Cih," said Fira, increasingly distrusting her best friend.


"Yes, I married her too because of Fir's forced. Now that we're separated, he's still in Borneo. Luckily there were no children between the two of us" he explained further.


"If you're alone how? Are you married?" Chiko becomes curious, because all this time she questions the status of Fira to Reni. But Reni never wanted to reveal the status of Fira who has now become a wife.


"Oh, I'm married" Fira replied straightforwardly. Although she had hidden her disappearance today from her husband.


"Who?" Chiko is increasingly curious about the figure of a man who gets a place in the heart of his best friend.


"You won't know him! I'm free to say his name too!" kilah Fira does not want to reveal the identity of her husband.


"Well, I'm late. Then why are you now meeting me," chiko was curious, when she was intending to meet Fira longing for a relationship. He wants Fira to start all over again.


"I just miss you. I miss my old friend. I wonder why you're avoiding me! And where have you been all this time. There is no other meaning" he said with a bitter smile remembering the memories of their past so close.


"Times just because of that?" hardik Chiko frowned, waiting for another answer from Fira.


"Yes I'm serious! Because Reni doesn't know where you are either. He only told me that you were back here. That's all!" timpal Fira.


Chiko wants to be honest with Fira, but it feels hard to tell the bitter story of her life after graduating from high school. Moreover, he was forced to complain about his fate to Kalimantan, following his relatives who were there.


In order to get shelter and food, he must be a maid at his brother's house. After graduation, Chiko was left behind by her parents. There is no legacy left, instead Chiko is charged with the remaining debt of her parents.


The debt is to his brother who lives in Kalimantan. Inevitably, like dislikes, he must follow his brother who lives in Kalimantan.


There he worked hard, to make enough of his life with a younger sister.


"My life used to be very difficult Fir. I can't possibly tell it. But now my condition has improved. I'm very happy to meet you" he said flatly, but incomprehensible to Fira.


"Do you have a problem first? Until you have to leave your life in Jakarta?" Fira continues to pry the problems of his best friend's life that is still a secret.


"Yes! there's a problem. The point is both my parents got in an accident and died. Because of my young age, I have to join a brother who lives in Kalimantan," he explained a little open.


"Oh so, I understand. I feel the bitterness left by my parents. It was so bitter, I didn't expect now that I felt something like this," said Fira, who didn't realize that a clear grain had been dripping on her cheek.


Chiko approached him, they sat down side by side. Chiko picked up a tissue on the table, wiping away the teardrops that had soaked her best friend's cheeks.


"Not crying, I understand how you feel. It feels very hard to be left by both parents. But you have to stay strong" she calmed Fira down, patting her slender shoulders.


"Yes! I still can't accept that my mother is no longer by my side! Hix... Hicks.." Unknowingly, Fira had leaned her head against Chiko's chest. It feels so warm and comfortable.


He didn't realize that the inappropriate thing happened. He fell asleep with a soft backrest and sweet treatment of his best friend.


"Patiently Fir, I will always be by your side. Whenever you need it, I'll always be ready to come to you" he said calmly. Gently unravel the woman's hair.


They both dissolve in unexpected closeness. Both feel comfortable. Until finally Fira realized, that what he did was very inappropriate.


"Sorry! I didn't realize my head was leaning against your shoulder." Fira raised her head and sat up straight.


"Why are you beside me?" asked Fira with a full glance.


"I'm just calming you down Fir, there's no other intent. You're sobbing, where I let you dissolve in sadness. Your cry even broke, until your tears dripped so much," she softly admitted.


"Don't do it Ko, I'm afraid that we're caliph. I love my husband so much, even though my feelings for you haven't gone away" Fira said, leaving a big question in Chiko's head. It seems he still has a chance to get his best friend's heart.


Friends who make him continue to imagine their togetherness that has never been a serious relationship.
