Chapter 17 - Friends

You

My Satria should be how 😢

The message Iin sent to his best friend Satria is still a gray one sign that his Wa message has been sent but has not been read by pak.

Iin glanced at the Wa status of his best friend for a moment, not long after how he sighed heavily. It says very clearly 'Active yesterday at 09:15'. Iin knew that Satria was currently on duty, his best friend would reply to Iin's message or not directly call him if he held his phone.

In addition to Nadi, Iin also told the problem of his matchmaking to Satria. Satria is a friend of Iin who is always there for him, he will always hear complaints and will immediately give him a solution. In addition, Satria also knew that Iin had liked Agus for a long time.

His friend knew it because he was a very sensitive person, although Satria knew the feelings Iin had for their friend Agus. Satria did not want to divulge it to Agus who was completely insensitive, Satria with mature and wise thinking said 'That is your business, your business, I will only be a neutral stronghold among you'

Ah, considering Satria makes Iin suddenly miss her best friend. Iin once thought, if only he fell in love with Satria, maybe he would not hold and wait this long until he realized his feelings. Unfortunately Iin's heart is grayed on the figure of Agus who even until now still does not realize his feelings at all. Thinking about it makes Iin sad, it always hurts when he realizes his feelings never got acceptance or rejection. That hanging feeling was even as painful as this.

As Iin alleged, Satria replied to his Wa message in the early hours of the morning. At this time Iin did wake up because of thirst, while taking the water that he always provided on the nightstand, Iin all check his phone and on his phone screen display one Wa notification from his best friend.

Satria

Agus's problem and your matchmaking again?

Iin should not be surprised by Satria's guess which was directly hit the target, unfortunately Iin was not used to the sensitivity of the almighty God Satria.

You

How know?

Satria

*is...

When he saw his best friend began to type his reply again, from there Iin fully realized from drowsiness. Satria is currently online. How could his best friend resist sleepiness at this hour just because of him?

Satria

I know that about Lo

Satria

What's the trouble anyway, Iin? Lo honest with Agus, Agus mah will not be sensitive if you are not honest.

You

I'm scared

Satria

You mean afraid that Agus changed because your feelings and our friendship were destroyed, so?

You

That's what you know

Satria

That's the risk, don't be afraid. You are both adults, finish well and ohiya, your future husband I think is a good person.

You

Satria

Error In, Not but not yet. Accept your matchmaking. You will not just choose someone for you.

Satria

I'm off well, I have to get back on guard. Assalamualaikum

Seeing Satria's last message before her online status changed 'Last seen at 02.32' made Iin think about Nadi's words and Satria's words that might have been true.

But before Iin retreated and let go of his feelings for Agus, he had to make sure something first so that he was sure that letting go was the best path he should have taken a long time ago.

Late in the afternoon on Saturday Iin invited Agus to meet at a caferesto owned by bang Farhan who was a friend of Keano bang. Bang Farhan's Caferesto is a favorite place of the three of them. The place is so comfortable that every day the caferesto owned by his brother's friend is always crowded especially Sunday nights like this.

Iin has been there since 30 minutes ago, now he is still waiting for the arrival of his best friend Agus who said he will be here soon.

Not long after how long, Iin saw the figure of Agus who stepped up to him. But his arrival was not alone, but rather there was a beautiful girl figure accompanying him.

Staring at the beautiful girl who was very feminine who came with Agus. Instantly Iin began to measure himself and his appearance tonight which was so relaxed with natural makeup. Iin grimaced in his heart, he was clearly not as beautiful and sexy as the girl who came with his best friend Agus who was the girlfriend of his best friend.

"In sory, I'm late. I wanted to come along so I didn't take long"

"No papa, just relax Gus. Sit down, order food and drinks for you. I've already ordered the first thing" replied Iin which made Agus still feel bad.

Agus and Eka also sat before Iin, Iin continued to observe every movement of the two until the sound of the ketus Eka disperse the daydreams of Iin.

"Why take my girlfriend out on a Sunday night?" Eka asked in a tone of voice she did not like.

One corner of Iin's lips was pulled up and displayed a slanted smile. This is one of the things Iin did not like about Agus' girlfriend, somehow his best friend could patiently face the bad attitude of Eka like this every day.

"You why the hell Ka, emang what's wrong if Iin take me out to dinner together? I told you we are only friends, nothing more" replied Agus.

Iin should have heard this over and over again, but every time Agus confirmed it over and over again, repeatedly, he had to feel the pain of Agus' words, which were like an invisible knife that pierced his heart.

Many times I hear this, but why does it still hurt?

Iin realized, Agus never looked at him more than a friend and maybe now is the time he let go of his feelings sincerely in order to keep his heart from being hurt by the same attitude and the same person.

No need to wait for certainty, the tone of Agus's speech was so serious it was very clear to answer the doubts in Iin's heart. Now there is no reason to survive, forever his feelings will never be seen in the eyes and heart of Agus, forever Agus will only assume they are friends.

"Good right, we're just best friends. No more than just friends"
