Love is Named Us

Meet

Second day of my unemployment.

I spent the same as yesterday.

I ran to the bus stop where we met. There was Tia waiting for me. I immediately rushed to meet him who was already waiting for me.

" You promised me why it was too late" he protested.

I saw my watch. Time still shows at 10 in accordance with our agreement yesterday.

" I'm not late, you're too fast" I said.

" Yes, anyway why am I even excited, even though this is my holiday. I should have been able to laze around in my soft bed. Not even meeting you."

" Why would you agree when I take you away."

" Hm." Tia scrunched her forehead as if she was thinking hard. " Because I want to see a drama. I haven't seen a drama since you were suspended. The cafe feels lonely without you."

" It seems you miss me."

" Of course" he got up from his seat. " I miss you so much."

" Be quiet" I said on the bus that had arrived.

Me and Tia were sitting right behind close to the window.

I don't know what's right for our relationship. Friends or friends do not seem to be right for us. Maybe our relationship is like a flowing relationship. Like a comfortable relationship, he did not disturb my life and I did not disturb his life.

His seemingly indifferent yet considerate attitude, sometimes made me smile. Sometimes that's what I need.

" Are you sure you're gonna meet him?" tia asked with a voice that was quite heard by me.

" It's been like this, isn't it," I replied. " I have to finish it with him anyway."

" Why don't you just marry him? at least you don't have to work this hard anymore."

" Why are you saying that?"

" I'm sorry, I'm investigating you, ah actually I asked your friend that time."

" Hanum?"

" yes. I don't know why I want to know about you. You remind me of my best friend."

" Your best friend?"

" Hm, but he's not around. He's gone a long way and I can't see him anymore."

" He's dead?"

" Yes, he died when we were in high school. I was like a useless friend to him. I didn't know that he was being run over at school just because of a trivial matter, a man. But when I finally found out, I couldn't do anything either. He left and I felt guilty."

" The first time I saw you, you were at first glance similar to her and when I found out you were close to Widya, I started to worry, but I couldn't tell you that either."

" And when I met Hanum, I thoughtlessly asked him about you. At first he was confused to see me who suddenly asked about you, but then he told me everything."

" I don't know if there's a lot you've been through, I think you're just a woman....."

" Stupid." I continued Tia's stalled words.

Tia smiled a little.

" I don't want to say that, why did you say it."

" It's clearly visible on your face." I'm staring. " Did Hanum also tell me about my father?"

" No, he didn't tell me that much detail."

" Oh."

" I won't ask about your family. Whatever happens, it's also not my authority to comment. All I know is that you're surrounded by really good people. You're lucky to have a friend like Hanum."

I put on a smile.

" Thank you for not asking, that's all I can say right now."

Tia nodded her head.

" The next time I want a cup of coffee to thank you."

I laugh.

" Okay, next time."

Tia was smiling too.

It did not feel like our trip was stopped at a stop for our destination. Tia and I got off the bus and continued on foot to get to their destination.

The cafe where I first met him by accident, in this place too I made a big mistake for slapping him.

" Oh, Yuna." A man greeted me. He smiled as he looked at me, but different from the man next to him who looked unfriendly.

" Oh, hi, Aril," I said back.

" I'm so happy to see you again."

" It's good to see me again?" I repeated what confused me. " Why?"

Aril smiled at the smile that made me even more confused.

" You, come with me" said Gafi passed by me. " It's just me and Yuna. You two stay here."

I looked at Aril and Tia.

" Go," said Tia.

I let out a breath.

" okay."

I left Tia and Aril.

" You're Yuna's friend?"

" No."

" didn't you? but why are you with him?"

" It would have to be friends first if you were with Yuna."

Aril looked confused.

" Keep away from me you don't have a job."

" Hm, I do have a job, but after seeing you, I'm not interested in doing it."

" What?"

" I seem interested in you."

" ha? are you sick?"

" I think so." Aril looked at Tia. " I'm sick because of you."

Tia grinning.

" Just die there" said Tia leaving him. Aril quickly pulled his hand.

" How can I die if you're not with me."

" Dead yourself, don't invite others" he said. " Take my hand off."

" I'll let go of your hand if you tell me your name."

" You're very troublesome."

" I don't care. If you don't say it, I won't let go of your hand."

" As you like with my hands."

" I like everything."

" Basic pervert!"

Aril laughing.

" You're really interesting, just like Yuna."

" If you like Yuna why should you bother bother bothering me."

" I didn't say I liked it, did I? I like it, but not in the real sense. Just like she was like a sister to me."

" Sister?"

Aril nodded.

" You're really ridiculous."

" Am I like that? I think you're very ludicrous. You said I was a pervert, but I think you're a pervert too. You like my hand holding your hand, right?Just look at how much you enjoy it."

" You!" Tia moved her hand to escape from Aril's. " My name is Tia, you're satisfied. Now let go of my hand."

" tia..." Aril let go of his hand. " A name that's easy to remember."

" You mean my name is the market!"

" I didn't say that."

" It's you!" Tia was really upset with Aril's behavior.

Aril, who was happy to see Tia's reaction, laughed happily.

" Oh, isn't he..." Tia was flabbergasted to see a woman passing by him.

" Diana" said Aril. " Why is he here."

" Ah, so that woman's name is Diana?"

" why? have you seen him?"

" Of course, he's the one who got Yuna suspended, he says Yuna has taken Gafi."

" Yes..." Aril let out a heavy sigh." it turned out that he had already made a mess."

" Don't we have to go there. The woman will make Yuna and Gafi's meeting a mess."

Tia gets ready to go to where Yuna and Gafi are, but Aril prevents her.

" Just leave it."

" What?"

" Let them finish on their own. I also want to know what they would do if Diana was among them."

" Huh?"

" Don't you feel the same way?"

Tia stared at where Yuna and Gafi were.

" I think so."
