Keeping his promise, Arif invited Khanza to the cafeteria to eat meatballs together. But, again the lover was spoiled, Khanza whining for meatballs outside.
"Well, would you? please!" please Khanza to Arif.
"But the hunt's coming in, Za."
"Bent on doang, deket kok."
"But ...."
Khanza pouted, bowing his head listlessly.
"Yes already. Let's eat out," resigned Arif.
Khanza's eyes sparkled, he screamed in excitement, pulling Arif's hand to immediately go to his favorite meatball stall.
"Za, slow down. Falling down!" arif Tegur.
Khanza did not listen to Arif. He kept walking without taking off his loving hand, almost hitting a man in front of him.
"If you go look around dong!" snapped at the man, he did not realize that there was Arif behind Khanza.
"I-sorry" Khanza said.
"Sorry .. sorry! it's so good just to apologize!"
"Keep lo, what?" Arif did not accept his lover in a snaps like that, he clasped the collar of the man's shirt.
"A-Arif," the shriveled man was scared and nervous, his face instantly paled.
Khanza chuckled, looking at Arif's direct emotions. He immediately forced the lover, to get away from there before things happened that he did not want.
"Awas, lo, once again snapped at my girlfriend!" threaten Arif, while away following Khanza's hand.
After the incident, they immediately ate where Khanza wanted to. Arif shook his head to see the girl in front of him had already spent two bowls of meatballs. Even her lover still wants to ask for it again, if only Arif does not forbid it. Taking Khanza back to school, Arif paid for all their food.

The sun has sunk in the western horizon, the time has shown at seven o'clock in the evening. A little girl has changed like a queen. With her hair in the ponytail, Khanza also applied a thin make-up on her face. Clad in a sleeveless jumpsuit, the girl covered her shoulders with a levis jacket.
Khanza called Arif before descending to meet Faizal below who was waiting for him. He once again asked for permission on his strength to go out with his childhood best friend. Khanza was confused by Arif's change, because his lover was like giving a lot of time for him and Faizal, even though yesterday-yesterday he was emotional when he saw Khanza with Faizal. Sighing deeply, Khanza descended from his room leisurely.
"Hi, Fa?" greet Khanza to his best friend who is waiting on the guest bench.
"Za, is it over?"
"Here we go, let's go, and then the kemaleman."
"Come on! we have permission from your parents" Faizal suggested.
After greeting his parents, Khanza and Faizal passed by on the man's favorite iron horse. The road was jammed when Sunday night came. Faizal did not immediately invite Khanza to their place, but he invited Khanza to enjoy the park where they often spend time playing since long ago.
Here they are, sitting together on one of the benches lined up in the park. Enjoy the trees in ornamental flickering lights like starlight. With laughter and a burning spirit, recalling the stories of the past that have turned into memories.
Khanza stopped his laughter, leaning on his best friend's shoulder. Those beautiful memories will always be the color of her life. It was stored in the beautiful memory in his heart. Tonight he wants to spend time back with his best friend, carving back the story of eternal friendship until later.

The dark night atmosphere was gripping, in the sky appeared a dazzling flash of light. The thunderous sound of thunder broke the hearing, the rain hit again after it had subsided at dusk greeting. Arif rested his body, lying on a soft spot in the room. Fiddling with mobile phones, Arif surfing on social media instragram. Frowning in wonder when he found some photos of the lover with Faizal on display on the man's porch. Arif reads the caption below it.
The first photo of Khanza and Faizal still wearing SD uniforms.
'The most beautiful thing in friendship is when you can understand each other, support each other and trust each other.'
'We used to be strangers. However, along the way of meeting, it becomes close to each other. Now we are friends, hopefully always together even later in a memory.'
"What do you mean memories?" muttered Arif knitted his brows, shifted back and read the caption.
The third photo when Faizal and Khanza were at the airport.
'Farewell is not the end of everything because there are still many memories created.'
The fourth photo was of Khanza and Faizal in high school uniform, with Khanza leaning on his shoulders.
'Thank you for being my best friend, accompanying me in laughter and comforting me when I am hurt, may our friendship be forever separated into different realms.'
Finished Arif saw all the photos with the caption. "What does that mean, anyway, Faizal's a ginian rich display?" muttered Arif, asking himself.
Arif wants to close his Instagram page. However, Faizal's latest upload made him turn his back in shock to the point that he, gaping in disbelief.
Photos of Arif, Khanza, Randra, Dea, Adit and Faizal are displayed there with the caption.
'Thank you for being a part of my laughter, thank you for being friends with me. Your laughter will always be 'I remember in my sleep'
The photo was taken yesterday when they finished playing basketball. A selfie photo from HP Faizal. Arif remembered that time suddenly Faizal invited them to take pictures. Arif's feeling became uneasy, his friend was acting more and more strange lately.
"What's the wrong kid eating?" arif's murmuring is getting confused. While Arif was still busy with confusion appeared again the last photo uploaded by his friend. Once this was no longer the confusion that was felt, but Arif was shocked to make it. Arif's eyes were perfectly rounded with a caption written there.
'Make a selfish guy, emotional, usually just angry\-angry, but fortunately you are handsome, hehehe. Take care of him bro, don't hurt him. I send her the same, may your love last forever. I shared the brief memories of our friendship at school, but it meant so much to me personally. May you always remember me in the good memories of your life.'
Arif grabbed his jacket and car keys, rushed away following Khanza and Faizal. The feeling is getting worse, because the rain is falling more and more. Arif frantically kept calling Khanza and Faizal alternately, but his phone never got an answer from the two.
"Armghh!" Arif squeezed his HP, he was really anxious at the moment. Faizal's words from yesterday continued to ring in his ears, the captions, increasingly making his feelings uncharacteristic. Amid heavy rain, Arif continued to drive his car looking for Faizal and Khanza.
