LOVE THE CUPU

Chapter-27~Yourselves

Arif and Khanza leaned against the gazebo barrier, enjoying the cookies and drinks they had brought.

"Za, Sorry!" said Arif took the hand of Khanza who was beside him.

"Sorry .... For?"

"Sorry for Ver ...."

Khanza pulled his hand and folded it across his chest, turning his gaze in any direction.

"Not to be discussed anymore!" khanza said without looking at Arif.

Arif sighed as he turned to lean on the barrier, folding his hands across his chest following Khanza.

"I.., sorry for justifying Vera's words, I didn't know what to do. Everything just happens, Ta...."

"Stop!" Khanza covered both ears with his hands.

"I'm not calm, Za! if everything is not clear," said Arif staring Khanza pulled Khanza's hand to remove the hand on his ear.

"Please!" khanza said, Khanza's eyes had turned red withstanding tears.

"Sorry!"

Khanza nodded, Arif pulled Khanza into his arms. Closing her eyes somehow she was so scared that Khanza would stay away from her. Sipping his saliva Arif opened his voice again.

"Za, I'm the same Faizal doesn't intend to make you into a betting item, we're both just carried away with emotions, Za!" said Arif who did not want to release Khanza in his arms.

Khanza returned Arif's embrace he drowned his face in the chest of Arif's field, his tears immediately fell into the shadow of the incident in the mall and the night turned back.

Arif took off his embrace, seeing Khanza crying his heart was slashed. So hurt was the girl in front of him because of his actions. Removing Khanza's tears with his hands, Arif shook his head hinting that Khanza should not cry.

"Za, Ma ...."

"I've forgiven all Rifs, I understand why you did it. Vera was right, I should have known you had a boyfriend. It's only natural that he's jealous, we should be ...."

"No! don't ever ask me to stay away!"

"But, Rif!"

"Za, no matter how hard you ask me to stay away, I will never be able to stay away from you!" arif said firmly.

"That's the best choice for us."

"No!"

"Bas stubborn!"

"You know, right?"

"Whatever! it's hard to talk to stubborn people" Khanza said, turning his position back to lean, stretching out his legs.

Arif smiles triumphantly, seeing Khanza always succumbing to him. He broke his body and put his head on Khanza's thigh.

"Ariff, what the hell!" Khanza was surprised by what Arif did. Even so but Khanza did not try to refuse, he justified his sitting position so that Arif was more comfortable, his face immediately reddened staring at Arif who gave a sweet smile to him.

"Sugary!" arif.

Khanza's getting all wrong, his cheeks are so hot. His face is getting red. Arif successfully ruffled his heart, he looked away in the other direction.

'Rif, if you've always been like this, I can't control my heart Rif!'

"Za!" call Arif.

Khanza looked at Arif, their eyes met, long silent enough to look into each other's eyes.

Glucose! Arif gulped his saliva.

'Why can't I control myself if it's with him, those lips, those eyes. Hold Rif!"

Arif immediately regained his senses. "Za, Me and Faizal ...."

"I understand Rif! I just don't like it if you guys always finish with emotion" Khanza said, cutting off Arif's remarks. Khanza placed his hand on Arif's head, gently rubbing Arif's head like a mother rubbing his son's head.

Arif closed his eyes feeling a soft touch from Khanza's hand, calm and comfortable he forgot all about it. He didn't even think that Vera would be really upset if he found out what they were doing. Arif is just enjoying this comfort with Khanza.

The phone ringing sounds, there's a call coming in from Arif's phone. Arif took the phone out of his pocket, hesitating to answer.

"Have ahold! who knows it's important" Khanza said.

Arif got up from his position, took a sitting position and shifted the phone screen.

📞"Hallo!" arif.

📞"Honey! how long is the answer!" said Vera across the street.

📞"Sorry! y ... who!" said Arif felt bad looking at Khanza.

Khanza looked at Arif to hear the affection he said. Khanza knew that Arif was calling him Vera, there was pain and discomfort that he felt. However, he is wrong because he has dared to do things that are beyond the limits of friends with Arif, even though there is no special relationship between him and Arif.

📞"Where are you?" ask Vera.

📞"I'm again on the road, already yes!" arif Lanhesung said he turned off his phone without waiting for Vera's answer.

Caught Khanza's hand coming down from the gazebo to get out of there.

"Hey! where you going?" Khanza turned around, Arif looked into Khanza's reddened eyes.

"Jealousy!" said Arif again.

"What'an, anyway! who is jealous too! she's your boyfriend" said Khanza, taking off Arif's hand and sitting in a rage at the end of the gazebo.

"If you're not jealous why he's buckled in the face!" said Arif poking Khanza's chin, teasing Khanza with his smile so that Khanza is not sad anymore.

Khanza has not been able to answer now the turn of the phone that reads. Arif sitting next to Khanza looked at the mobile phone screen in Khanza's hand, Faizal's name on it. Arif's face turned flat wanting to take the poncel in Khanza's hands, but Khanza quickly withdrew his poncel. Arif immediately took his jacket and motorcycle keys, so visible emotion.

"Eh! get angry!" Khanza pulled Arif's arm.

"Deliver!" Arif pulled his hand out.

"No!" khanza said he was holding Arif's hand.

Arif sighed heavily, trying to calm down again. Khanza slowly released his hand, but Khanza still insisted not to take it off.

"Sit down!" khanza pulled Arif's hand to sit down. Arif followed Khanza.

"That's it, emotion!" khanza meledek.

Arif stood up again, Khanza panicked himself holding Arif's hand.

"Already dong! dead is the phone!"

"Call back! I'm going home!" arif ketus.

"Jealousy!" khanza said he returned Arif's words to him.

"No!"

"Oh, yes, I did! I'll call Faizal!" khanza said with a careless smile, taking his cellphone pretending to want to contact Faizal.

Arif took the poncel from Khanza. Khanza laughed in satisfaction for tricking Arif.

"Satisfied, laughing!" arif put the poncel back in Khanza's hands.

"Funny, anyway!"

"Huk.... Huk.." khanza laughed until he coughed.

Arif pats Khanza's shoulder slowly.

"Kualat! ngetawain me," said Arif take drinking water hand it to Khanza.

Khanza immediately drank from Arif's hands. Arif's hand is still on Khanza's shoulder. Khanza looked Arif in the eyes, he laughed again with Arif.

"That's ah!" khanza stopped his laughter.

"Who started this!"

"Yes .. yes!" khanza smiled at Arif. "I'll get the guitar first! ajarin huh?" khanza said again.

"Emang has?"

"Ngeselin yes! is! I'll take it, wait don't come home!" khanza mocked. laughed back and went in and took his guitar. Arif smiled in response to the joke from the sweet girl.

'It's so sweet to laugh so. sit! why the same me anyway! this heart! I saw him laugh like that!"

Arif's heart can't hide his detachment.

No matter how strongly we deny and hide love, when it grows and flowers, others will smell it. The fragrance of love that seeps out of the pores of the heart makes the person who feels it lulled with the charm of the tinkling strings of romance. Forgetting all about what fate actually did to her.

Khanza brought back a guitar.

"Ajarin huh?" khanza said sitting next to Arif fiddling with his phone.

Arif kept the flat object back as Khanza returned with a guitar and sat down next to him. Arif got up from his seat, turned behind Khanza.

"I teach you this!" arif said with a position hugging Khanza from behind.

Khanza bengong raised his head staring at that dark brown bead of eyes.

'my heart! could have my heart attack like this! But beat his heart! does he feel the same? there's no way he's just thinking of friends!"

"Hey! have seen it! handsome huh?!" arif pinched Khanza's nose.

"Auuu ...! Very pede!" khanza held his nose.

"Must dong!" arif said confidently.

"Where's this?" khanza is back holding his guitar.

Arif holds Khanza's hand, his current position making heart sport for both. Arif taught Khanza so patiently, once in a while their eyes met. The sweetest smile throw for a heart is marked by the love arrow of the gods of romance.

"You sing dong!" arif.

"You play the guitar, right?"

"Judah here! what song would you like?"

"What shadow love?" khanza.

"Cakra Khan?" ask Arif.

Khanza nodded, and Arif started strumming his guitar.

***

Your owner

A heart I never had

Which is present as

Part of my life story

You I love

With all the feeling in the heart

I always try

Be as you ask

I know you actually know

But you choose as if you do not know

You're hiding my love

Behind the mask of your fake friendship

You made me a shadow lover

To accompany when you feel lonely

I've been following stories for years

Love itself

Maybe it's true

Love is no longer valuable

All free

When you have no treasure

I know you actually know

But you choose as if you do not know

You're hiding my love

Behind the mask of your fake friendship

You made me a shadow lover

To accompany when you feel lonely

I've been following stories for years

Love itself

O-ho ....

Khanza sang Reff with his eyes closed as if he felt fully what was contained in the lyrics of the song.

Arif looked at Khanza inside, Arif was so understanding what Khanza was trying to convey in the song. But, he could not retreat from Vera nor Khanza.

Living everything like running water is all that Arif can do. Let destiny do its job.
