Life Friend
Episode 18's
That day the sky in the city of Manda was so gray. Spotted – raindrops slowly start to fall. Motorists rushed to the outskirts of the – suburb of the shop that had not yet opened to shelter for a moment wearing a rain coat and then rushed to continue the goal. Not a few children – school children who carry vehicles look rushed – rush to wear his rain coat. Colorful – pedestrian umbrellas decorate city streets purposely built and prepared for pedestrians.
Lucky that morning Manda had reached his office so as to avoid the rain. Quite swift without lightning or flashes that might add to the panic of everyone who will start the activity that morning.
Brewed coffee milk warm that has been provided office boy in his office. Indeed so. Self service's. Not like the office in general who can casually ask the office boy to make it coffee. That way Manda would be happier. Making milk coffee with a dose according to taste. Not only milk coffee provided in the corner of his office room. There's jasmine tea, pull tea, assorted coffees, and ginger is all ready to brew complete with sugar and automatic hot water which will certainly help office workers to make warm drinks according to their taste.
Feels fitting. Outside the rain and cold. Milk coffee warms the stomach. Sipping the milk coffee slowly
with a little give a small blow so that the heat does not erode the sweet lips. Warm and fresh. The stomach was also full of fried rice before leaving.
Manda put his bottle on his desk. Then turn on the computer and start working on every list he has recorded on small colored paper. Tucked neatly in the corner under his computer. Sighs a little at the list he has to finish today. With joy Manda working slowly – slowly. He felt the office where he worked was very comfortable and transparent.
Manda's relationship with Hose has improved since the events at Hose's house that made Manda feel uncomfortable. The gentle treatment of Hose makes Manda can melt and understand him. Hose never forced her again either.
“The crafts are beautiful girls," said Sekar who had just sat at the table next to Manda. They are now one room
and nearby. So on – between jobs they can chat.
“Heemm” Manda nods still getting his computer screen. He lifted both shoulders and turned on his computer.
The end of the month is so busy. All office employees appear busy completing reports – each. Lunch only they choose not to go to the cafeteria or relax at the nearest – cafe cafe. The head of the office allows them to spend supplies at each – of the office desk. Even late at night. Tiring but will be very happy tomorrow. Salaries and bonuses that never disappoint. Especially for Manda and his best friend, Sekar.

Today Manda asks Hose not to invite her after work. Manda will go with Sekar. Hose understands the habits of his lover after getting a monthly salary. Hose is also not a possessive male type – male. Because he realized that it would not make his lover comfortable.
“Aku now I want to buy kebabs that are extra cheese and lettuce," said Manda when walking along with
Head to the office parking lot.
“Haha you seem to have craved from last week deh.. I will want to buy seblak pedes anyway, extra chicory, hmmm.” Sekar shuddered with a blink of an eye imagining the food he wanted.
They both ate the food they ordered. The conversation stopped instantly. They are silent when they exist
food in front of them. Spend food that does not need time as long as they wait for the food to be ready. Sometimes they are confused to see – people who spend so long eating food that sometimes is not spent. Too bad.
“Sekar you ever kissed your lover?” Just chuckled at Manda's question that came out of the topic.The initial topic was just discussing work and some silly and entertaining office friends – days exhausting them.
“Why Manda?” Sekar poked his lips with a slight smile teasing his best friend who he knew so eagerly wanted to hear his answer. “Why, you abis kissed ya same Hose?” Sekar tried to reach Manda's chin to pinch her but late, Manda retreated her face.
“Engga, answer my question first!" Manda pouted but still put on an inquisitive look.
“Pernah." answered Sekar briefly then grabbed a straw and sipped the star fruit juice in front of him.
“Hah! Seriously Rizky kissed you?” Manda widened her eyes as if in disbelief with an answer
her best friend. He removed the plate to the edge of the table so that his hands could rest on the table he had wiped with dry tissue.
“Not so I told you because you asked and most importantly you are my best friend." Vast
slightly advanced his body and cleared his voice.
“Dicium what Kar? Frown, cheek or?” Manda touched her lips with the index finger of her right hand. Vast
chuckles at the innocent look of his so inquisitive best friend. Sekar again sipped his star fruit juice which turned out to be over.
“No ah, tomorrow – tomorrow only the story!" sekar flung his veil back.
It sucks!
Manda was upset. Folding both his arms and putting on a frowning face that even makes Sekar anxious with his behavior. Manda sipped her Tea Ice which was still intact. A little while ago I was just a little shredded.
