Love Ordinary Girl "Alya"

For The Last Time

After waking up Arif, then we performed the congregational Ashar prayer. After worshiping, the three of us began to explore the rice field...

"Sobbb..., the road to the north..! Later there will be bells in the middle of the rice field, the water is clear.., seger..." Rudy invited us to walk down the rice field that belonged to Mr. Lurah. The palm is very wide, visible farmers who are fulfilling their duties, harvesting rice.

An atmosphere full of familiarity and excitement was implied on their plain faces during the rice harvest in the rice fields.

Me and my two best friends were still walking around, occasionally we would throw smiles at them.

"Nuwun sewu.., Pakdhe.., budhe..." I said to them as I walked in front of the horde of farmers, excuse me.

"Yes.., monggo...." They reply and give a smile. I see tired faces. But they still adorned with laughter.

We got to the door that Rudy meant. Soon I took the water in it with a dipper made of coconut shells. I slowly moved my face, feeling a cold but fresh sensation.

"Al.., replace donk..." Arif approached and asked for the dipper. I handed it to him.

"Nich Rif..."

Arif started pouring the water into his hair, and his face.

"Segerrrr... Wuihhhh it feels like taking a bath.., hhhehe..."

"Mandi by Rif...! Hhaha..."

"No ach Rud. Shame on me.., hhhhehe.."

"Hmmm..., I'll just go, so you can take a shower.."

"No need for Al.., I also do not bring change.., hhhhehe... I live in Rudy's house instead..."

"You want to stay here, or come along...??? I'm going to the gubug..."

"Gubug?? Uh I'm with Rud..." I reply with sparkling eyes. Shown a time that has long passed, childhood2 cheerful. When playing in the rice field.., if tired me and little friend2 lay down the body in the hut.

Arif put down the dipper, then walked over. The three of us stepped back to explore the rice field.

Arrived2 steps I stopped.., when I saw a keyong. I crouched down to take it. Instantly my face became gloomy.., a shadow of Dimas' laughter danced in my mind. When we were little we often played to the rice fields and down the river to look for keyong. I almost spilled my tears, but I tried to hold it back by biting "How are you doing Dim..?? Is your heart okay now2 only..?? Is your life happy Sobbbb...?" My whisper in my heart.

Arif and Rudy looked at me in surprise, I didn't notice.

"Al.., you're okay2, right..?" Asked Arif, his face showed concern.

I let go of the keyong slowly, then replied to Arif's question with a smile.., and looked at him "I'm fine 2 Rif, only moved to remember my childhood. I used to be a tomboy you know Rif, play me also with anak2 cow..."

"Oyes..???" Reply Arif by frowning, maybe he doesn't believe me too much. Because of the behavior of an Alya now, very far from the word tomboy.

"Huum.., let's continue the journey..!"

The three of us stepped back, and arrived at a small house without walls, windows, and doors.... The small house was made of wood, bamboo and the roof was of straw. Or we call gubug....

We sat in a small hut, casting a glance at the expanse of rice fields.

"Al.., Rif.., later I will not come to South Square. My body is a cafekkk, my legs are linu-linu.., sorry yes.." Said Rudy while stomping his feet.

"Hmm.., alright Rud, you are tired of Al..?? If we're tired, we just go home.."

"Hmm.., yes Al... Who knows.., after I return, you're married and someone else's wife.." Arif's voice sounded slightly trembling.

"Already Rif.., the important thing is that today you are happy, because tomorrow you must be eager to fulfill the task... Cemudukz..., cemudangzzz Big Boss...!!!!" I said cheering Arif on, trying to laugh. Arif looked at me with a forced smile. While Rudy.., his eyes seemed to be teary, maybe he also felt the sadness of his best friend.

"Come.., we're going back to Rudy's house...!! It does not feel almost Maghrib yes.., later we pray first in Mushola.. Continue to proceed to the south square ya Rif.." invite me while getting up from sitting.

"All right.., let's go..!!!" Reply Arif with a smile. The three of us walked towards Rudy's house.

At Rudy's house, we cleaned our bodies. Good thing I brought a little towel and a change of clothes, and so did Arif.

After performing the Maghrib prayer we say goodbye to Rudy, his sister, and his parents. Then Arif and I rode towards South Square.

In less than half an hour we arrived. After putting the bike in the parking lot, we walked hand in hand to the tandem bike rental. Arif sat in front, and I sat behind him. We paddled the bike with laughter.

After feeling tired, we sat down, ordering wedhang rondhe and boiled noodles.

"Seneng isn't Rif..??" I asked, with my mouth still cool sipping the warmth of wedhang rondhe.

"Heem.., very fond of Al.., thank you Al.." Reply Arif with sparkling eyes.

"Sama2 Sob..." I said with a smile on him.

Because cool chatting and joking.., without feeling wedhang rondhe and boiled noodles that we ate was not left, maybe full activity today is quite energy-consuming..., hhehe.

At exactly 20:30, Arif drove me home. He stopped his motorbike near a small alley to my house, just like before, when Arif was about to leave for college in Germany. I felt dejavu again.

"Rif..., spirit yes Sob, fulfill your duty well, please both your parents with a proud performance..!! Good luck Rif.." I said encouraging him by raising my right hand clenched upwards, my lips trying to carve a smile, but my eyes could not lie, the clear flow arrived2 out from both corners of my net...

"Yes Al, thank you.., thank you for the opportunity to carve our memories today, thank you for being my faithful friend, thank you for the spirit you give.. Al..., if I go later.., stay like this Alya, be happy, Al..." Arif's deep words accompanied by a sad gaze, and a slightly forced smile...

"Sama2.my friend, take good care of yourself.., do not forget to keep your duty to Robbi, hopefully we will be given a chance to meet again..."

"Aami... Yea....Al.. Assalammu'allaikum...."

"Wa'allaikumsalam Rifs..." My greeting reply accompanied Arif who had started to advance his motorbike, he left with an ornate smile on his lips.

I stared at my best friend's back until I couldn't see him anymore...

Rif., every happiness you give me, may you receive a beautiful reward from the Almighty...

May our friendship continue to be established, even though we will live together with our respective partners...

I'm still proud of you, man, I'm proud of all our friends...

I love you guys... Arif, Aldi, Ardhy, Rudi, Ale, Dara, and you....

Hopefully we can meet again, by bringing our spouses and children..

Thank God for meeting me with them... 💖💖💖💖💖
