Loving Your Own Friend

MensahSen Episode 39

A few weeks have passed since Arka's return to the Netherlands.

In the midst of heartbreak thinking about the contents of the letter from Arka, Riza was again present in my life, she came like an angel who brought a pile of affection for me. She said she wanted to have a serious relationship with me, but I always refused on the grounds that I still did not want to commit. But Riza's not her name if she stopped to fight, she kept chasing and paying attention to me, hoping that I would melt down.

This morning, while I was in the restaurant, suddenly Riza came to bring me lunch, when she knew I had a restaurant, automatically I would not starve.

"Eat first Cit, later resumed his work" said Riza when he reached my room.

"Yes in a moment, responsibility." I'm responsible with my eyes fixed on the laptop.

"Eat for a minute, it's working again, yuk!" invite him, by stroking the tip of my head.

I finally followed her wish, we both sat on the sofa that was still in my room.

"You're busy, why are you here?" I asked by starting to bribe seafood fried rice, apparently he still remembered my favorite food.

"My job can be taken care of by the secretary, the most important thing is to take care of you first, so do not get sick because it often delays to eat" he replied by squeezing my nose.

We ate the food together, telling each other about their jobs.

After finishing eating, Riza said goodbye to return to the office because there is work to be taken care of.

Actually Riza is a figure that is almost perfect for the size of a human, but somehow I can never love her. Instead I was trapped by my own best friend's love, I felt too deep, so I could not get out again. I tried as hard as I could to stop loving her, but every time I tried, she came back to me.

Ever since he came back to Holland, he hasn't told me anything or asked me. Again, I can only see it through social media.

I haven't been to Han's and Mei's aunt's house in a while, somehow they're doing. After the restaurant, I intend to visit them, hopefully they will be at home.

"Sar sir, I go home first, yes" said my words to Sari who was talking to the employee.

"Oh okay Cit, be careful!" he said by waving his hand.

I paused for a moment when I got to the side of the road right in front of the fence, I remembered the memories, I remembered the deceased papa, I remembered Arka who often came here, again, I remember Arka and I passing through this fence every day when I was leaving and coming home from school.

Without tears welling up in the eyes, beautiful memories that could not be repeated. Papa who had calmed down there, Arka who was no longer like before.

Things can change very quickly, we must enjoy and be grateful for every event that happens in our lives.

I'm running the car back to Aunt May's house. When I got to the fence, security came to me and said that the house people were not there, because they were going to the Netherlands to visit Arka and Rika.

Disappointed I left the house. I decided to stop by Raya's house which is still a complex with Mei's aunt's house.

At Raya's house, there was only her mother and ART, while Papa Raya was out with her old friend. Said his mother Raya, Raya now lives in the house of Putra, and is likely to go out of the country with Putra, because Putra takes care of the company that is there.

Long enough I was in the house Raya, finally I say goodbye to go home because it was night.

When I got home, there was already Riza sitting in front of the house. I got out of the car and approached him.

"Riza, been here a long time?" my many.

"No, just got here. Where'd you come from Cit, how come you just got home?" ask her by standing up from her seat.

I took Riza into the house. I'm actually tired and want to rest, but I'm also not good at leaving Riza.

While Riza was talking to mom, I got permission to go to the room to clean up. Arriving at the room, I dropped my body on the bed. I didn't realize I was asleep until Mom knocked on the door, and said Riza wanted to go home.

"Sorry, I fell asleep" I said as I returned to the living room in the same clothes.

"It's okay Cit, you must be tired. You better shower, eat, then rest" Riza said.

After saying goodbye, I drove Riza to the front door. After Riza left, I went back into the room and cleaned up, then went back to sleep without dinner first.
