Life Friend
Episode 28's



Manda's room lights have gone out. Complete with a soft bear-patterned negligee he prepares for his sleep. The night is getting late but the sleepiness does not come. In his mind there is something dancing – nari and very disturbing. Still can not forget if he was just shot by a man – men who somehow since when Manda craved it.


“Arrrkkkkh!” Mada groaned furiously and covered her face with a pillow. I can't wait for tomorrow. Tell everything to his beloved friend, Sekar.


Something very different. This is not the first time a – male male conveys feelings and asks


manda's Answer. Nothing can make Manda feel crazy and can't wait to answer “iya”. Usually with light – light he replied no. Hose was once rejected but Manda finally accepted because Hose never backed down and continued to approach him. Different this time. Deep thump


his heart did not go away even though he was alone in the room.


At first Manda would have thought that she would marry Niko at Noval's request. That moment


there's no feeling whatsoever. Manda just wants to marry along with – men he loves. Vice versa. I don't like marriage in any form. Just don't want to like the story of – novels that he used to read.


He never even thought that strange feelings would appear in his heart.


Is he really my soul mate? Why am I being so weird. Know what I'm about a mate. I also don't know how to love.


Manda was flabbergasted and sat down. Still on his bed. He hugged his pillow and offered a prayer. It


to give all his gratitude and heart. Slowly her tears came. Not tears of sadness. Tears of sincerity filled with pinta, hope and surrender. Manda poured out everything in his heart, pouring out everything he had faced even though he also knew that the Creator had


knowing everything. Knowing everything without him saying it. This time he carried the name Niko in his prayer. One – only and the first he prayed a man – men. Not to ask Niko to be a lover or a friend. But pray for his heart to answer yes or no. Manda wants


everything happens based on the wisdom of the Creator. Learn from the past that brings him regret.


Manda ended her prayer. Back to her body on the bed. Eyes closed. His mind took him flying into the memory of the time he was sitting in High School. A time when he doesn't want to date


because none of his – boy friends are in accordance with his criteria. In addition, he wants to focus on learning. Dating just keeps him out of focus, he thought. Every – male male friends who approach, he always opens a writing that contains the criteria of life friends. If it doesn't fit one criterion he won't accept it. Manda also understands that every – male friend who asks her out is far from serious. Although at a young age he does not want to play – play. So he's pretty selective. Up to – until no one escapes.


The nickname jones aka singles it can be during school. Most friends – friends in his class must have had a girlfriend. Different with. But for him what matters is that his life choice is to choose


happiness itself. Not anyone else.


Life partner criteria? Manda remembered where the criteria were written. He got out of bed and lit up


room lamp. Looking at the wall clock, it was already 12 p.m. Manda opened a box containing a diary during her school days. A time when he wrote a diary. Once a month he never wrote it.


Well, here it is!


A small pink book. Manda chuckled at every page full of outpouring of hearts he wrote in purple pen ink. Looks a little starting to use but still clear every word – words he wrote.


Haha. It's so ugly this writing. Well, here it is! Haha I was so sorry at the time.


Manda managed to find the writing criteria of his life friend who he wrote years – years ago. It says there is


ten criteria. It also has a date when he wrote it. July 1, 2008. He went back to the notebook and rewrote it. Write accordingly without adding or subtracting it.


1. Seiman


2. Diligent worship


3. Not smoking


4. I can play guitar


5. Already worked


6. Diligent sport


7. One city


8. Can cook


9. Traveler/loves to go up the mountain


10. Honest


Manda reread the ten criteria he finished copying. While remembering the – things that exist in Niko.


1. Seiman. Ah obviously this is he's the same faith as me.


2. Diligent worship. I believe he is diligent in worship, only hours of worship that are often not together. 


3. Not smoking. He doesn't smoke, praise God. Papa doesn't smoke, my boyfriend smokes. What lover? Huh! why am I so confident like this!


4. I can play guitar. He's really cool about this. Especially when you are a music artist in the church.


5. Already working. It is clear, if it does not work how can save me and my – children. Manda patted her forehead, feeling too confident with her words.


6. Diligent sport. Ah I don't know this yet. He should have, his body is good.


7. One city. Well if this is clear. 


8. Can cook. Okay, if I'm gonna find out.


9. Traveler/love to climb mountains. haha why am I writing this? just go up the mountain I never, scout camp at school alone I don't like it the most. But this cannot be denied. Buty? If he doesn't like to go up the mountain how? If it doesn't match one of the numbers can I still take it? Hm. Resume.


10. Be honest. Yes this I'm sure once he's the – most honest man. Always telling the truth. Unlike Hose who likes to cover up if there is something.


Writing and reading his own writing seemed to be a sleeping pill for him. The sleepiness began to attend. Close the notebook and put it in the bag. While the diary back he kept in a box.


Sleep time! Sleepy.
