Is There Love

Feel utilized

The Part 20

At exactly seven in the evening, Alby and I went to the movies. There were about five friends\-friend Alby, two women, and three men waiting in the lobby. I was surprised when I saw it, it felt awkward as well. On the one hand, I also felt a bit annoyed with Alby's sister for not telling me if I went to see her movie race\-rame.

“Hey By,” greet one of Alby's older male friends.

“Hey. Sorry yes, long wait.” Alby smiled at his friends.

“It's okay. We haven't been here long,” said a friend of another man. They now seem to be taking me seriously, and this makes me even more awkward.

“Oh yes, the beautiful woman next to you who is it?” ask one of Alby's third male friends while raising both eyebrows.

“Ah yes, almost forgot. This is Ryn, she's the woman I told you about the other day.” Alby introduced me to his friends. I was shocked to hear what Alby said about me to his friends. I was wondering what he had told me.

“Hai, greetings know.” I developed a thin smile.

“Hai. Greetings to know too, I am Ruhan. Next to me is Kenan, and the woman next to Kenan is Rana. Later, the man next to her named Rana Mirza, and the woman next to her named Mirza Cyra.” I nodded in a sign of understanding with a small smile when Alby's friend named Ruhan introduced his friends one by one.

“Ruhan, we can get acquainted on our own, no need representative.” Kenan protested.

“But I've introduced you guys, and he already knows your names, so no need to repeat.” Ruhan answered casually.

“Hey, why are you so noisy like this? Look, he's getting awkward. Don't continue,” interrupted Mirza while glancing at me. After hearing Mirza's words, the others immediately glanced at me, and now I saw my nervous face.

“That's not true, I'm normal,”.

“The cheeks are flushed, like holding in shame,” said Rana who observed the hue of my face.

“She is funny, does not want to admit it,” continued Mirza.

“Do not be awkward, we are not like teachers BK.” Cyra interrupted.

“Let's just say we're old friends, and don't think of us as strangers. Because we are not strangers.” Kenan smiled at me.

“What Kenan said, we are not strangers. Act like an old friend.” Ruhan confirmed Kenan's speech.

“Hey, hey, already. He's still in need of adaptation, so let him adjust first.” Alby's brother defended me.

“Yes, yes, alright. I understand,” said Kenan.

“You're only five? Jhia not coming?” ask Alby.

“No, we six with Jhia. He went to buy a drink, maybe he was still in line, ” Cyra replied.

“Do you miss him, By?” ask Ruhan. Hearing Ruhan's question, Alby's face looked nervous.

“A ... what? Me?” There's a nervous tinge to Alby's voice.

“I'm just kidding, take it easy. Why does your face look nervous?” ask Ruhan.

“Ruhan, your dress is excessive. Don't you see, who's next to Alby? Could-can he misunderstand,” timpal Mirza.

“It was just a joke, there's no way he misunderstood.” The spirit defended itself.

“Tetap just can't be like that. Alby had been close friends with Jhia for a long time, but she had no interest in him at all. So, don't tease him.” Kenan gave a warning.

“What Kenan said. Jhia is already yours, do not you act as if you want to give it to someone else,” continued Rana.

“What nonsense are you talking about? That's exactly what I'm sending to Alby, because they've been close for a long time. Does he miss his friend? I was just teasing him. Anyway, I know what Jhia is like. He couldn't have betrayed me.” There was a sweet smile adorned on Ruhan's lips.

I really\-do not understand what they are talking about, but somehow I became curious about the figure of Jhia who has been mentioned\-talkannya since. Also, about the relationship between brother Alby and Jhia. That right? Just Alby's friend? I keep thinking\-thought about it.

“Hai, I'm back. Sorry to wait so long.” I saw a beautiful woman, tall, and beautiful body who came to us with a plastic bag containing several drinks. There was a smile on her lips and decorated dimples on both sides of her cheeks. Her smile looks really sweet.

“It's okay Jhia, we're still waiting for you kok.” Cyra.

“Oh yes Jhia, meet this Ryn. And ... Ryn, this is Jhia.” Ruhan introduces Jhia while embracing Jhia.

“Who is he?” Jhia looked shocked when she saw me next to Alby's sister.

“My little girl. This is my little girl,” snuggle brother Alby while hugging my waist. I see, there's a smile on Alby's lips. I was surprised when Alby hugged my waist. I tried to escape from Alby's arms, but I couldn't dwell because Alby's brother even tightened his arms.

“Oooh.” Jhia only said it briefly after hearing Alby's words. Now, the smile on his lips shriveled when he saw me. In fact, you could say a flat expression. I became uneasy when she looked at me with that gaze, as if I were as unwanted as her presence here.

“Greetings.” Jhia extended her hand.

“Iya, greetings know.” I shook it with a small smile, yet she did not return my smile. He quickly pulled his hand.

“You know Jhia, earlier I teased Alby when you left, and his face immediately turned nervous.” Ruhan now looks enthusiastic to convey it to Jhia.

“Really? You tease him how?” Jhia half glanced cynically towards Brother Alby.

“So he thought you weren't watching, because here are only five. But, Cyra said that you were going to buy a drink. So ... I asked, does Alby miss you? And he could not answer quickly, his face turned nervous, like that.” Ruhan raised her chin, pointing towards Brother Alby. Hearing Ruhan's words, Jhia spontaneously looked towards Alby's sister. The look on his face turned rather moody when he saw Brother Alby.

“Yes, like that. Exactly,” continued Ruhan followed by a small laugh.

“Ruhan, enough. Don't talk about it anymore, don't you feel sorry for the guy standing next to Alby. Later he misunderstood.” Rana reminded.

“Hey, he couldn't possibly misunderstand. I'm sure she's a good woman, patient too. In fact since then he has never been angry, or just commented.” The spirit defended itself.

“Absolutely Ruhan, very precise. Your guess never misses, you are a genius guesser. My little girl is rarely angry, she is very patient. For that, I feel very lucky to have him. I'd feel really sorry if I left it.” Brother Alby confirmed Ruhan's remarks. Her smile expands to decorate her face.

“You guys are indeed a compatible couple, even though the age is a few years younger than you, but he looks to be able to adjust.” Kenan. I was shocked when I heard Kenan say me and Alby's brother were a compatible couple.

“Pair? What pair? I'm his sister, not his girlfriend,” my elak.

“Adik?” They say it almost simultaneously. On his face was a hue of surprise after hearing my words.

“Iya.” I answered him steadily.

“It's not true. Actually, she's a shy girl. He prefers to be called a sister, and he doesn't like to brag about our relationship. He does not want the public environment to know it, so he is more happy if in the general environment called sister.” Alby tried to explain. The hug on my plate just got tighter, and this made the pain worse.

“Oooh.” They say it almost simultaneously.

“So, now this brother Alby is doing a skit? He calls us dating?” my inner.

“Why not say from the beginning, if you know it will be like this, I will be able to refuse his invitation to go to the cinema. Alby's sister is really outrageous, I lied to her twice. What does it mean try? Why is he using me like this?” my grumbling in my heart.

“Kakak!” I shouted in my heart. My heart beat faster, my fingers clenched tightly. I became very upset with Alby's sister.

“She's a unique woman. Weird-weirdly.” Mirza looked at me in wonder.

“Truely, she is very cute,” Shutter.

“That's enough, don't corner my little girl. In a few minutes the film will be screened, we'd better hurry in. Otherwise, it will not get the front seat.” Alby glanced at his watch.

“Ah yes, Alby is right. We better hurry in,” continued Cyra. We rushed in, looking for a seat. Up inside, we got seats in rows of number three and four from the top, because there were already many seats filled. Me, Alby's sister, Jhia, and Ruhan sat on seat number three. Kenan, Rana, Mirza, and Cyra are in the fourth row.

“Why didn't Brother say, if you watch the rame-rame?” I sent a WA message to Alby.

“I'll be awkward, I don't know any of Brother's friends.” I sent another message while showing a sullen face towards Brother Alby.

“Let's relax, I'm here. It's okay, just this once,” reply.

“But don't be weird ya,” threatened me.

“No, just relax.” After replying to my message, Brother Alby smiled at me.

“Kakak has used me, saying that we are dating. What does this mean?” I'm trying to ask for an explanation.

“No meaning anything. Sister just doesn't want to look like a pathetic singles when not going out with a partner. After all you can enjoy it too, can watch for free in the cinema.” Alby gave an explanation.

“You're replying to each other WA?” Hearing Ruhan's question, Alby and I spontaneously turned to her.

“Huh, very funny. Sitting next to each other, but communicating through messages. Stop your message communication, the film will soon be in play.” Ruhan looks astonished by my behavior and brother Alby.
