Loving Your Own Friend

MensahSen Episode 12

At night when we finished eating I decided to go to the back garden of the house. I sat on a chair by the lake, an artificial lake that was not too big in size, but enough to make the mind calm if it was there.

Suddenly seething in my mind about Arka. Damn, I don't think I miss him yet.

Is it possible that I can become more than just friends with him?

Honestly, I don't like it when I remember him and Rika.

I remembered Cindy's words while vacationing on the beach.

no woman and man are truly friends without having more feelings.

But I was afraid that if Arka knew my true feelings would only destroy my friendship with her that had been established all along.

I decided to go inside the house. I don't see anyone, maybe I'm asleep because it's late enough. I went to my room and cleaned myself in the bathroom.

After coming out of the bathroom I saw my phone screen on, it turns out Arka sent me a message, then I read the message immediately.

Fill in message :

💬Until this second you have not told me yet !

💬Heh lo forgot to have hp huh ?

💬Atau you forgot to have my rich handsome friend who must you tell me if you have arrived at the house of oma?

💬Do I need to call oma now ?

I smiled, I repeated the message several times, until he called.

After I slide the green button, I haven't had a chance to make a sound.

"Woy lo where the hell, brazen indeed no telling also until now? " the scolding after I picked up the call.

"He didn't have to say that either. The power is not me who miss elo if we are far apart, but elo who miss me. " Ejek me with a laugh.

"What a miss, I don't understand. I'm just worried because you're not telling me. I also called Ernan not lifted up. "he said in an unrelenting tone.

"I'm sorry I forgot earlier ngabarin, only now hold hp. Why isn't the clock sleeping? " tanyaku.

"Gue ran out with Rika, she just watched. I was so tired, "he answered casually.

My mood became bad after hearing Arka's words.

"The more sticky you are the same Rika." I said as if I did not care.

"Why woy! Or maybe you are jealous, "his ridicule with a loud laugh.

"It won't be yes, it doesn't really matter. "my elak.

Long enough we chatted until finally Arka ended the conversation for telling me to sleep.

.........

In the morning in the back garden chair, I sat alone with oma, papa and mama were taking care of the needs of Ernan at his new school later.

"Oma, do you know that Arabs now have girlfriends? " tanyaku.

"Already oma, Citra does not like to talk about this. ", I said lazily.

"Oma, did oma and opa get to know her long enough before finally deciding to get married? " i asked oma.

Oma smiled before answering.

"Oma and your opa used to only meet 2 x before we got married, the first meeting when your opa was on vacation to your hometown. At that time oma was selling food and your opa ate there, then opa asked if oma already had a husband or not, when opa tau oma did not have a husband opa told oma to wait for him to come back to the city. Opa mu actually met oma again three months later, it was our second meeting and when your opa came there, she invited her family and intended to marry oma. " said oma with a straight forward look and with a smile.

I smiled as I rubbed the teardrops that came down past my cheeks after hearing the story of the meeting of oma and opa. It's amazing how God meets two people who are friends.

"How did you and Mom meet? " many more.

"Ah my dear, it is better that you ask them directly." replied oma as she rubbed the tip of my head.

We also discussed other things, long time we chat until the sound of a telephone ringing.

Unknown Number

At first I hesitated to pick up because I had never picked up a phone call from an unknown number, but this soul to the innards thrashed, finally.

"Hello sorry who is this? " tanyaku.

"This image is Rika, ARKA'S GIRLFRIEND! " Say by emphasizing the word BOYFRIEND.

"Oh yes Rik what's wrong? " my answer is relaxed.

"Lo know I'm dating Arka, so I just want to say if I don't like you too much Arka again, let alone looking for attention to him, I want to stay away from Arka! "

I was silent to Rika's words, I didn't think she could say such words, didn't she know that Arka and I had been friends since we were kids, does he think it's easy to get away from Arka?

"Rika, what do you mean, and don't you also know that I was Arka's best friend long before you dated her." I said softly and still sounded friendly.

"Gue don't want to know your stupid friendship relationship how long ago, which I want to stay away from Arka! " he said it and immediately ended the call.

I frowned, did she not like me that much?

Oma asked who had just called and talked about Arka.

I answered nobody to oma, and then I decided to go to the room.

In the room I immediately called Cindy and Raya and then told Rika's wishes when calling me earlier. Cindy heard it.

"That's so brazen, he thinks he's entitled to do as good as he is. I wonder what the hell it was like " Cindy said.

"So what are you going to do Cit? " tanya Raya.

"That's Ray, but I see Arka happy with Rika. Do I have to obey Rika's wishes? " i asked them both.

"Obviously that stupid wish. Do not be weak Cit, Arka may be happy with him but Arka will also be happy with you, if not happy where it might be friendly until this long. She's a new person so don't think of her as the Queen that all of her wishes will be with you. " Cindy said with a sigh.

After discussing the matter, we cut off the phone.

Before going to bed I thought back to Cindy's words, there was a point, but I didn't want to take any chances if it was for Arka's happiness.

Shortly after that I fell asleep.
