I was busy rolling my eyes, watching every detail of Malvin's house until Alby's hand touching my shoulder surprised me.
“Eh, Al. How's Malvin doing?”
“He is calmer. Let him rest first. What are you worried about?”
“No, I'm just surprised it turns out Malvin's house this big.”
“Ya is clear. He's a rich man's son.”
“Seriously I never thought he was a rich kid. All this time her appearance was mediocre aja.”
“Malvin is that guy. He was never arrogant. Different from the same Arka who from his appearance has already shown his position. If Malvin even if people know him as a bad boy, he's actually good. He's my best friend from childhood, so I understand how rich he is.”
“Newly know me. All this time I only judge him by his behavior. Uh, you know her dekette, you must know what she's sick exactly?”
“And I told you I didn't know anything, Van. Malvin's a little closed to rich business. He doesn't like to worry about others. I also thought to myself why. I feel sorry for him. His parents were busy doing their jobs until they never cared for him. I'm afraid there's nothing about him and no one knows.”
“That's also what I thought, Al. I'm gonna find out exactly what he's sick of. We should always be there for Malvin. He needs a lot of attention from the people closest to him.”
“Yes, you really. Mm... Van, I want to say something lo.”
“Not from earlier already talking?”
“No, this is different. I seriously. But not here.”
“Oke.”
Alby and I went to the living room. I sat in front of him, ready to listen to what Alby was about to say. He took out a small box. Once opened, it contained a silver watch.
“Van, you know not, actually fitting your birthday I want to give you this. Sorry, I just love you now because I've been less than that first."
“Why?
"That time you will again deket the same Arka. First of all, I'm not good because Arka is my best friend. The second, I'm sure if I give it to you immediately you must refuse. It was just an ordinary watch from ordinary people who were not important at all to lo.”
“Whose word am I going to call? I always try to appreciate the gifts from everyone. His watch is good. I liked. I'm using now yes.” I also wear it right away.
“Kanya lo still do not understand I mean yes?”
“Emang what?”
“Gue thanks it because I love you. I plan to shoot you with the watch, but Arka already called me first and told you he wanted to shoot you. That's why I better back off.”
“So lo.... Al, since when?”
“Since the beginning of entering SMA. From first sight. I don't know if I believe in first sight love or not. What is clear is that I actually fell in love with you since I first saw you and the feeling is still there until now.”
“Al, sorry. But I..”
“Yes, I know. I'm just a poor and ugly guy who doesn't pantes with cinderella as pretty as lo.”
“No, Al. I've never looked at a guy from a physical, a treasure, or anything like that. Do you know what happened to me and Arka? I'm not ready to deal with love anymore. You are my best friend. Yes even if we decetnnya not long.”
“I'm sorry I have to say this now. You can calm yourself first. I will always wait for you. I won't be bosen to keep revealing my feelings.”
I turned my face away from Alby. I don't want to look him in the eye. I don't want to be wrong again in seeing the seriousness of a person from his eyes. It's enough of my fault in judging Arka.
“Eh jerk yes,”
Alby's coming in, looks like he's going to Malvin's room. I don't know what he's gonna do. Shortly thereafter, he returned with a guitar.
“Make whatan, Al?”
“Rather than confused about what to do, mendingan dengerin I sing. Lo will be entertained with my melodious voice,” said Alby so confidently.
“Where try I want to hear the sound of lo who said melodious it.”
Alby smiling. Slowly his big fingers began to play the guitar and he began to sing. He sang a romantic song from Virgoun called Proof. I listened carefully. I enjoyed the song so much. Although Alby's voice is heavy and I think it is very suitable to sing rock songs, it turns out that when singing mellow songs, the sound is so beautiful.
“Lo's voice is really top.”
“Don't you say me? My voice is melodious.”
“Iya yes now I believe. But with a heavy voice lo it's more suitable lo sing rock deh.”
“Almost everyone says that. But I can be of any genre. I love singing reggae. Yes yes dengerin.”
Alby started singing reggae songs. I laughed too. Her voice is perfect for singing reggae songs. No less good with reggae singers.
“Keren cool. No doubt about it anymore. So singer already udah.”
“Neg. Let my voice be enough to entertain people.”
“Gue has a challenge for you. Challenge what demand yes... Emm.. Anyway this is my request as well as a challenge for lo.”
“Apaan?”
“Promise will you fullin?”
“Iya I promise.”
“Later time end of semester even lo sing in pension event. Sing a song that you think is the most romantic.”
“This child wants to know me. I don't like singing in public, Van.”
“Can promise. I'm angry if I don't follow.”
“Yaa how ya... Okay, I had to do this. But you have to watch ahead. How?”
“OK. I'll definitely watch the front.”
“Deal.”
We shake hands sign has agreed to our promise. Actually I just want Alby to be more confident and show his talent to everyone because I see he is a person who often feels inferior. Even though his voice was that good, he never showed it. When other students often bring guitars to school and sing, even though their voices are very uncomfortable ears, Alby who has a melodious voice actually never shows the independence of his voice.
“Uhukk... uhukkk.”
We were both startled by Malvin's coughing voice in the room. I immediately ran into his room. I saw that he was trying to reach for the glass on the table, but he seemed to have difficulty. Deftly, I immediately picked up the glass for her. I helped her sit down and drink.
“Vin, why not call me anyway? I'm still here.”
“Gue don't want much ngerepotin lo, Van.”
“Ngot be that. I never felt repotted. Anyway if you have anything at all times, you should contact me. No papa you do not want to talk about your disease. The important thing is that you are sick again you have to say me.”
“Udah rich nurse I just. You are not a doctor who must take care of the sick 24 hours.”
“Vin, I'm serious. I don't want to know why.”
“Ready, Doctor. I will contact you whenever I need you,” joked Malvin.
I can only smile at his behavior. Under these circumstances he could still comfort others.
“Vin, I go home first yes. I was ready to jog, surely mom was worried because I was not back and forth. I'll be here again.”
“Iya, Van. Take it easy, there's Alby here. Thanks yeah. Sorry to have taken lo.”
“Inget, in friendship never there's sorry, thank you, and a sense of condolence.”
Malvin smiles. It feels good to see Malvin smiling again after going through such a stressful moment. Before leaving, I stopped at the door of the room where Alby was standing.
“Al, take care of Malvin yes. If there's anything my phone.”
“Iya, Van. Be careful yes.”
“Oke.”
