Loving Your Own Friend

MensahSen Episode 28

My body was stiff, my mouth was silent as I looked at the figure before me.

She stood up from her seat and hugged me, very tightly, I could feel her heartbeat. My life seems to float it. This is the figure I miss so much, the figure who is always present in dreams and shadows. She's here, she's hugging me, she's so close to me. Oh my God, thank you for all this.

"I'm sorry Cin." he said softly and trembling

I couldn't say anything, I tried to hold back the tears that were coming out, but no matter how hard I held back, the clear droplets kept coming down through the cheeks.

"Eh, many have seen it." Cindy said

Arka let go of his embrace and gave us some distance. But do you know? Arka came here not only alone, but together with Rika.

I finally sat down to join them. Arka didn't explain anything about her disappearance, she was quiet and occasionally glanced at me. I did the same thing. I'm still too shocked he's here now.

In the afternoon we all decided to go home, before I say goodbye to Kak Sari. We went home with our own goals, while Arka, I don't know where she's going.

When I got home, I went straight into my room. I was confused not knowing what to do with all this. I'm glad Arka's back, but why should she bring Rika?

The sound of knocking on the door roused me from the daydream, I walked towards the door and opened it.

"Mama! What's the matter Ma?" I was surprised because it turns out Mama is knocking, this is the first time since the departure of Papa Mama can walk out of her room.

"There's Arka in front, don't you want to see her, baby?" ask Mama.

I can't believe what just happened. No, not because Arka came looking for me, but the attitude of Mama who was like before.

I hugged Mama tightly, how grateful I was for all this. Thanks God.

"Partner, Citra, do you know Mama is difficult to breathe" said Mama aware me.

"Sorry Ma, the image is too happy" I said and kissed Mama's cheek

Mama shook her head and went down. I followed Mama and walked faster so I could line up with Mama, I leaned my head on Mama's shoulders. I miss the moment like, when I was spoiling Mama.

"Darling, why are you such a child?" mama asked by rubbing my cheek.

I don't mind Mama's words. Upon reaching the bottom, I saw Arka already sitting on the sofa.

Mama passed away to the kitchen, then I started to approach Arka. "What's Ar?" much

"How are you doing, Cin?" ask her with eyes that look at me.

For a moment, there's something strange here. Since when did Arka say I am You with me? My words in my heart

"As you can see." I answered briefly

"I'm sorry for leaving without news, sorry for not being able to accompany me in the worst moments, I'm really useless Cin" he said trembling.

It is undeniable, I also feel real indignant with his attitude that suddenly disappeared like swallowed by the earth. However, I must still be able to control my emotions, I must behave appropriately, like a friend left by his friend without saying goodbye.

"It's okay Ar, you must have a good reason to do that" I said

Not yet He spoke again, the sound of Arka's phone ringing was heard. He immediately turned away and accepted the call. While I sat waiting for him to finish talking to someone I didn't know who I was.

Arka walked towards me and said goodbye to leave because suddenly there was something to take care of. Actually I'm disappointed with his attitude, he hasn't been able to explain anything, but he already wants to leave again. There was nothing I could do but let him go.

After Arka came out of the house, I passed to the kitchen where Mama was. I sat in the chair watching Mama who was busy cutting vegetables with the help of Mbok Lilis. I'm so happy to see all this, it feels like I haven't seen a scene like this in a long time.

💬Lo happy to see Arka again?

I was breathing out violently. Especially this guy wants. Thought

I put my phone back on the nightstand, I didn't reply, I really didn't want to serve Rika.

.......

This morning I went to college. I had breakfast with Mama, actually I do not want to leave Mama, I still really want to indulge and accompany Mama at home. But I also don't want to finish my studies any longer.

"Ma, Citra left first." I said by kissing Mama's cheek and then left.

On the way back I remember Arka, ah really, why is it always He who is on my mind. When I got to Campus, I went to class because the lecturer entered the morning today.

In the afternoon, I went to the Canteen with Cindy and Raya.

"Did Arka explain his departure to you Cit?" Raya asked.

"No, he just apologized, then left the house" I replied.

"Hiss, what does it want is a man" Cindy said

Sister Riza came along with her friends. "Hello Cit, how are you?" tannya

"Good sister" I replied with a smile

"Can I go to your house tonight?" ask again

I laughed to hear it, how not, the house now belongs to Brother Riza.

"There was a mistake in my question" I said with a laugh.

Brother Riza frowned as if he did not understand.

"Didn't that house now belong to Riza's sister? So the question should be, can I come to my house tonight.

And we all laughed.

After college, I headed straight to the restaurant. Restaurants today are quite crowded, almost all the tables are filled. I went into my room.

Then I sat down on the chair and accidentally saw a picture of Rayen on the table. I just remembered, I had to accept him working here, I was still curious about him.

I called Sari to ask Rayen to come to the restaurant tomorrow morning. After Sari's sister confirmed it, I closed the call.
