This evening's dinner ended with a memory that can't be forgotten.. The warm atmosphere of togetherness, the embrace of friends, surprise and special surprise, as well as the congratulations to meet again from all friends...
There is a sense that still makes me lose happiness tonight, an unusual feeling.., because getting special treatment from a friend... I was afraid to think, that Arif not only considered me as a friend, but a special girl in his life.. I'm afraid that thought backfired on our bond of friendship..
"Al.." Arif's voice broke my daydream. There was music on his car mp3, a song from the band Naff.. "I finally found you." a song that hit a few years ago...
"Yes.., what's the matter with Rif..?" Reply, still with the position of my head resting on the car window.
"From that kog daydreaming..? Your face also looks sad Al.. Something wrong with my behavior today..? I'm sorry, Al. If you're not pleased with my little surprise..."
"Not really a Rif.., maybe because I'm too moved, so it's like this..." I tried to reply to Arif's words, holding back the tears that were almost dripping.. Ach.., I hate this mellow feeling of mine.. I should have shown a cheerful face before Arif for all his efforts to make me happy today...
"Al.., I'm right2 I'm sorry..." Arif's voice was soft, as if he felt guilty... But still focused on driving the car.
"You're not wrong, Rif.., I'm happy today.." I started looking at him and giving him a smile.
"But, to be honest, your surprise is too much Rif... I'm even uncomfortable.. As long as we are friends, you always pay special attention.... I.., I'm afraid of Rif, I get carried away..." It seems like I can't hold my heart anymore, I can't suppress it... Actually I am very embarrassed to reveal all this, because I believe Arif must understand the purpose of the words of his best friend...
"I'm sorry Al.. I just want to see you smile.. Sorry if you feel uncomfortable, or maybe you..."
"What's Rif..?" I asked to know..
"You have feelings for me Al..?" Said within...
Arif's statement immediately shocked me.. My mouth was silent.., I was silent, without being able to reply...
"But it's all too late Al..." His voice sounded soft..
glegs...
My heart rhythm is getting irregular. I wanted to get away from the man next to me immediately.. I want to run from him... I was angry at myself who couldn't help feeling...
"But not because there's another girl.., not Al..." Arif began to continue his words.. I'm still silent, don't know what to tell him..
"Sorry to Al...!!! When2 we go to Rudy's house again yes.., there exclaimed... I am tickled Al.., if you want to be so serious about learning to fish, but just hold the worm afraid...." Arif is trying to break the tension between us. Asti and Hana who heard the conversation I and Arif just fell silent, as if they did not want to disturb us..
"Yes Rif... In shaa Allah, if I take off work, I will accompany you to Rudy's house..." I said without spirit...
"But before I go abroad, Al. I'm afraid we can't be refreshing together again before I leave.. This time I went to perform the duties of papa Al... Maybe a year or so..." He said as if he was holding back the sadness..
Hearing Arif say that he will go again makes my heart hurt and very sad... It was as if we were going to part forever after Arif's departure abroad, this time.... I feel more and more in pain.. But I have to try hard...
"Rif Spirit...! I promise, I'll accompany you back to Rudy's house, or where it's up to you... What matters is that it makes you happy.." I tried to smile at him...
"Thank you Al.." He said with a smile back..
When I was sad like this.., I felt I needed Mas Abi to hear my complaint.. Only he who has a wise word can strengthen me.. "Mas Abi, tomorrow I have to see you..." My whisper in my heart...
Arif stopped his car right in front of the alley..
"Yes Al... What matters is that you are always happy... Assalammu'allaikum..."
"Wa'allaikumsalam... Hati2 yes Rif...!" I got out of the car, followed by Asti and Hana..
Then Arif drove his car...
"Come deck...!" take me to both of them.

Ting... I heard a message from my phone
22.05] Assalammu'allaikum Al, what's the dinner???
22.10] Wa'allaikumsalam smoothly Mas, but I'm sad π₯.
22.15] Why Al??
22.20] Tomorrow I tell you, Mas Abi pick me up at work can you? Four o'clock in the afternoon.
22.30] In shaa Allah can.
22.35] Okay, see you tomorrow mas, Assalammu'allaikum
22.45] Wa'allaikumsalam Alya
Not feeling the three of us had arrived in front of the house, we stepped in by greeting the mother who was sitting in front of the TV.
"Have returned home to Putri2 Ibu..?"
"Already Mum.." Answer the three of us in unison.
"Alya went straight to my room, ma'am.."
"Yes Ndhuk.. Rest up..!"
Before I entered the room, I took the ablution water in the bathroom shower, hoping that all the sadness could soon continue...
I entered the room, and I took my face and put it on.. Little Qur'an.. I chant love, hoping that my heart will be at peace...
At this growing age of mine, I am no longer a teenager, I need a priest figure who is able to lead me to become a perfect woman.2...
My tears trickled down instantly reminiscing about the intricacies of my love story..
I ask Him, may this heart be anchored to the right person, the best in the eyes of the world....
