Life Friend

Episode 2

Manda looks enthusiastic down the stairs to the waterfall.This is very quiet. There's only a janitor

which is sweeping the leaves.

It looks like last night it was raining too. The stairs they went through were a little slippery. Several times Noval tried

holding Manda's arm worried Manda fell.

"Want me to take you, Manda," Noval said in her heart.

Manda looks so sweet with her white t-shirt. Wearing a shirt and jeans

it became the most comfortable shirt for him.

From a distance the waterfall is visible. High and heavy. Manda's eyes are getting brighter because of it. The road is already

ramps because it is at the lowest location. Manda took Noval's hand and pulled her. Noval saw Manda's hand and followed him walking among the monkeys – monkeys who were chatting. Monkey – monkey a lot here. There was a baby monkey in his mother's arms too

monkey, there is one monkey who accompanies him like it's his father. Manda and Noval chuckle to see a family of monkeys seen together among – monkeys the other.

Now they are near the waterfall. There are no monkeys here. They sat on the edge of a small bridge

then take pictures and chat accompanied by a fresh waterfall splash.

"You don't want to play Manda's water?" noval asked and pointed at the clear-looking stream of water.

“Now!” Manda. "I'm on holiday,” he added.

"Yes yes know that if we do not have a holiday there is no way we can be here Manda," said Noval staring at Manda.

“That's not it, I'm in a dapet. Menstruation. If you play water,” replied Manda explained.

"Ah okay Manda!" Noval scratched behind his right ear.

Manda took Noval down the path near the waterfall. That road led them to one

park near pine forest. It was so warm in the cold weather. It turns out there's getting quieter. People – people prefer around the waterfall. Though here is also no less beautiful and soothing. Tree – pine trees grow tall and bushy leaves. Looks fruit – dry pine fruit has fallen on the wet ground but true – is really clean taka da rubbish scattered. It looks like it was swept this morning.

it still looks thick but can still be reached with vision. The sound of dewdrops so soothing combined with the earthy sound of forest crickets. So beautiful.

"Thank you Val has brought me here" said Manda staring at Noval sitting next to him.

Manda did not realize that the male – man beside her had long fallen for her. Since they early – early

undergoing college. Noval never knew how to express her feelings to Manda. Noval is only afraid that their friendship is destroyed just because she expresses her feelings.

"Manda, I love you" he said in his heart as he looked at Manda.

“Heiiii... halooo... Val? Thank you, yes" Manda repeated her words because Noval had not responded.

“Emm Yes Manda,” Noval smile.

I don't know why I'm so happy today. Something I've never felt before. Especially when I look at Noval.  I don't know when this taste existed. But next to Noval I felt what was comfortable.

“Noval!”

“Ya Manda?” Noval turned her body towards Manda.

Well, why do I deg – degan like this.

Noval's right hand gently rubbed Manda's head and looked gently at her eyes. Like Noval wants to say something in her silence. This time Manda did not reject Noval's hand. Noval brought her face closer to Manda's. Manda's heart is pounding. He just swallowed some saliva from nervousness.

Is he going to kiss me? I have to how for – years I have never kissed.

“Hufftt!" Noval took off her hand. His left hand clenched and gently patted his right hand. As if

regretting what he did. He is eager to kiss Manda as an expression of his feelings for Manda. But fear still enveloped his heart. He could not with the possibility of – possibilities that will happen.

Noval was still silent and took off her condensed glasses. Wipe it using the inside of the shirt.

They both fell silent. Drift in mind each – each.
