Life Friend

Episode 23

Almost every day Manda prefers to eat at the cafe along with Niko. Sometimes Sekar also went with him to lunch three. After the meeting, Manda was like being hit by opium and wanted to always meet with Niko. Hose is also difficult for him to meet so busy at the office and meet with his clients. Manda's meeting with Niko at lunch was also with Hose's knowledge. Manda always tells and Hose does not dispute because they trust each other.

“Manda, Mas Niko is more adem yes the person," Sekar told Manda as he walked back to the office after lunch.

“How's Sekar?” the look on Manda's face now met red and held back her smile.

“Ya just saw it. Not that I mean different – differentin Mas Niko and Hose the Man, but I see Mas Niko he seems like a male – loving man." replied Sekar straightforwardly.

“Why don't you try to open your heart for her? I see from his gaze on you he has more feelings Manda,” said sekar again.

“Haha, where possible, he already loves another girl. I also have Hose," awab Manda resigned. “huft!"

“Emang Mas Niko already has a lover, I guess not yet deh. I hope my feelings are not misjudging that he is still waiting for you" said Sekar holding Sekar's hand into the elevator to their office.

“No idea, he said there was no partner. Just saying that he loves a girl," Manda answered by the 3rd floor button where their office is located.

If only the girl had been me. Arkh, I have Hose!

“Maybe it's ka," said Sekar cut off when the elevator door opened. They had arrived then walked towards the corner room. Before heading to the desk Manda first refill his drinking bottle from the gallon water provided by the office.

Manda began to sit back on the computer in front of him. Huf, Manda sighed. Rubbing his hair rough.

Why do I miss Mas Niko so much? Being Hose's lover for almost a year I never missed him like when I missed Mas Niko. Hufs.

Glue .. glek .. glek ..

Manda gulped down water from his bottle the umpteenth time. Even surprised to see it. Manda is often referred to as the water tendon because it consumes the most mineral water. The drinking bottle was the largest among friends – friends in his office.

“Manda?” tanya Sekar was curious. “You don't why – why right?”, Manda shook her head.

“Dark!" call Manda after sipping mineral water.

“Yes my love, my dear?”

“When you are with Rizky, have you ever thought of another – male?” Just breathe and smile. It turns out that Manda was thinking about something.

“Manda, if indeed we have held the commitment, then we will not think of – men other than our partner. Maka”, Sekar stopped for a moment. Manda furrowed her brows waiting for her best friend to continue answering.

“So, you want to commit to who Manda is. If I love Rizky, why should I think of others?” Manda was surprised to hear Sekar's question. Manda feels that she has a lover named Hose.

“I know how you feel in a dilemma. Because Hose and Mas Niko are the same – as good people and certainly the same as you. But Man, you have to be able to determine. We must not be double-hearted, even though your lips say you love Hose," said Sekar gently patted Manda's shoulder.

“Have stopped drinking it, later bloated stomach!" Sekar held Manda who would gulp down the mineral water. Sekar understand, his best friend tried to expel his anxiety by sipping mineral water. I don't know how many liters he spent. I don't know how many times Manda went to the toilet to pee.

“You think Man, the one who knows best is you, immediately choose so that you can be more peaceful heart," added Sekar. Manda nodded in understanding. Stay quiet with a boisterous mind.

Back to the computer monitor screen. Doing work that has been piled up on his desk. Hoping today everything is finished because tomorrow Sekar is forced not to work to come to his lover, Rizky.

With both palms, Manda covered her face. Eyes closed. No one knew that this Manda was praying in his heart. Begging the Creator to give a sign for him to choose with God's permission. Not choosing based on personal feelings.

Help me, God.

This afternoon is pretty bright. Just a puddle of leftover rain drenched the outskirts of the road. After his office

he did not go straight home.  Manda stopped by to buy pudding at one of the bakeries that were in line with Hose's house. Very fresh, he murmured when tasting fruit pudding given by the shopkeeper.

“Yasudah Mbak wrap pudding fruit one and pudding chocolate one, medium all yes mbak," he told one of the shop waiters who had given tester to him.

“Bok Kak, here is the note, later taken all at the cashier, thank you," the waiter smiled giving his note to Manda.

Manda stopped the motor after redeeming both pudding and hanging it on a hanger near the handlebar. The motorbike manda drove slowly towards the residence Hose. Manda believes Hose is at home. Mr. Sugeng opened the gate when he saw someone in front of the gate. It just so happened that Mr. Sugeng was watering flowers in the yard of the Hose house which was quite spacious.

“Eh there is Nak Manda," said Mr. Sugeng.

“I'm in sir." Manda led his bike inside. Parked in front of Hose's car garage. There's a car that means Hose is in the house.

“Hose inside right Sir?” without waiting for Mr. Sugeng's answer, Manda immediately ran carrying 2 bags of pudding that he bought to eat together with his lover.

“Eh Boy!" Mr. Sugeng tried to prevent it but Manda already entered the house. Mr. Sugeng rubbed his head violently and continued his activities.
