" Where have you been????... I almost went crazy thinking about the love story of the two of you", Aldo's voice sounded vibrating still by hugging his two best friends.
Nilam had no power to speak, but his tears melted slightly. While Rayhan patted his best friend's shoulder with a sense that he himself could not manifest it. Maybe it was a feeling of affection and also a little jealousy. Because now his best friend even with one arm is also giving embrace to his wife. And Rayhan knew how Nilam still occupied one lonely side in Aldo's heart. Slowly Rayhan took the initiative to let go of the hug. And he was amazed to find Aldo shed tears.
" Uncle Aldo. Hi ?!! ", the cheerful greeting from Syailendra diverts the moment of the haru meeting.
" Hey boy.... Do you remember me ? ", Aldo exclaimed excitedly. And the man laughed wide received a hug from the little one who seemed to have met three times and even then through a video call.
" It's that familiar ???? ", Nilam commented astonishedly.
" Yes.but only three times met through a video call." replied Rayhan.
" It's pantes tuh Do' .. have their own children", Hanan chimed.
" Hey..... Hanan El Haqq .. head of the OSIS pujaan.. and mrs Roses..fighting is extraordinary yes ", with style lebay Aldo say hello.
" Oh my sweetie doll..... Susan ", Aldo continued back as soon as he saw Susan's whereabouts.
" Don't let me hear 'Do. You think you're Ria Enes", and Aldo just grinned to hear Susan's reply. " Let's sit here.... ".
" Aldo ... You didn't greet me ? ", a voice shocked Aldo.
" Show ..oh my Good. You are more beautiful...Where is Popeye ? ".
" Halaaah. Why look for my handsome Popeye?. .. If you also meet her ", Meisya sneers funny.
" He. he. he. he. yeah, he's afraid of the same big muscles ".
And the atmosphere turned even more cheerful with the arrival of the bustling and feisty Aldo. Laughter and jokes glide freely, presenting their own happiness from friends who let go of each other's longing.
" Hey...wait ..wait.... Meisya, Orlin, Roses.This is like a reunion of your ex-do'", suddenly Susan interjects with a surprising sentence.
" Waaaaahhhhhhhh, as well as ", Rayhan said that which was greeted by a nod of approval from Rayhan.
" He. he. he. Sorry for the husbands .. ", Aldo grinned seductively. Of course he meant Rayhan and Hanan.
" The former has been gathered in 'Do. Then....where is the sexy secretary lady?", asked Rayhan.
" He .. he... he.. three years in England .. you don't know any news of Hans ..".
Rayhan frowned. He tried to interpret his best friend's words for himself. But what appeared was precisely the look of a confused face that also emanated from his gaze.
" He had broken up with Miss Angelina .. right on the first anniversary of the engagement" Susan said in response to Rayhan's confusion.
" Waaaaah...... why did it become like that first girls who were heartbroken because of the breaking of your one-sided relationship 'Do..... You got karma huh ? ", Nilam smiled seductively Aldo who was immediately manyun while sipping the fresh mango juice served.
" Yes. and the opening key to that karma is you're 'Nil" Aldo replied in a flat tone and with glaring eyes.
" Loooh... Why me anyway?", protested Nilam.
" You don't realize, baby... ", Rayhan approached his wife and put a gentle touch on the slightly confused face. " You're the first girl who dares to break it. and you're the first girl to make this Don Juan bin Casanova ". And Rayhan ended his sentence with a friendly kiss on his wife's forehead.
"Aldo... forgive me. ", the grate of concern and regret conveyed in Nilam's tone.
But the reaction shown by an Aldo was truly miraculous. He laughed loosely as he shook Hanan's shoulder which happened to be the closest to him.
" Well lo.. stress him ", Hanan commented .
" No. ngawur kowe!!!", Aldo punched his old friend's arm. " Think of it... Not that I am the god of your love, you guys are?.... come on think again .... ".
" Just think about it... ", Aldo looked at all his friends one by one. " Unless you're Susan ...."
" Yes yes 'Do.... Rayhan only realized love with Nilam, just after you became Nilam.. ".
" Well ... bener 'lo San ..", cut Aldo quickly as soon as his hand plucks the warm lumpia on the plate.
" Truck.... Hanan brave pe'de'ka'te same rose as well .. after several times met directly in the field ... ", Susan tried to re-describe the story one by one.
" Tull 'kan.. klo' I did not introduce you guys... hwiiiy, where there is a tuh' on the kayak today ", Aldo was proud. " May... You're also 'right?... If not cry in front of the school.... where is Popeye who is fascinated to see you ".
" Ngawur!!!! .. Just so ", and a little bump of peanut shell successfully landed on Aldo's cheek who was now laughing happily.
" Okey dear friends..in memory of the services of our love god who still continues to break up.... begging the Supreme Power of Love to immediately bring together the god of love.... With his true love... Aamiin Allahuma ... ". And Hanan with a serious and sincere face led the prayer.
Sounds a little funny and sarcastic, but all the friends who were there compactly agreed to the prayer.
" Aamiin Ya Rabbal 'Alamiin ".
" Thank you, my friends..... I love You all ". Still with the typical Aldo style is hilarious, confident and can always bring an aura of cheer in every atmosphere.
" Nil... You did not miscalculate?.... that ... segedhe it was six months ?". And now the subject changed, when the god of love pointed to the belly of Nilam.
" It's been seven koqs", Nilam's errata.
" Seven????.. jeez gedenya ... ", Aldo's amazed.
" It's two .... great, right ? ", Rayhan smiled proudly as he stroked his wife's stomach.
" Huh?!!!. ... wouw.... twins. That.... which is like that.... How did Hans make it??? ".
" Dewa Cinta .. koq pekok ngono tow yow ". Meisya shook her head with a concerned look. He was greeted with laughter from his friends.
The atmosphere from noon to dusk became really lively after the presence of the god of love this hilarious. Various dishes that have been prepared are also slippery toilet not rested. Towards Magrib, one by one the old friends said goodbye.
Syailendra gave a loving hug to Celia who was a year younger than the boy. And he smiled waving as the car carrying Hanan's family moved away from Kamal's grandfather's house.
" Mommy, I want to go to school in Celia's school" said the boy excitedly.
" I can help Nile.
" Hear Alend.. Aunt Meisya will help enroll you in Celia's school. Let's say thank you.. In Indonesian ", Nilam caressed his son's hair.
" Te. rima. kasih.. aunty Meisya", stammered Syailendra saying it.
Of course this looks so adorable that Meisya presents a kiss on the plump cheeks of the boy. Syailendra blushed in shame.
" Good boy.... Emmmmhhhh ", the sweetness of Meisya.
" Nil... who's in the belly ... male ? women ? or maybe both ? ", aldo asked.
" We agree ... make a surprise only 'Do. Let more greget. said bang Rey ", said Nilam with a face sumringah.
" Cie. cie. bang Rey", Aldo's tease of Rayhan. " Bang Rayhan.. I went here last night ".
" Why didn't he sleep in your mama's house?. .. did he not know you were coming home ? ", Rayhan asked, but hurriedly gave an explanation, "I mean..wouldn't you meet your mama first ... my door is always wide open for you ".
...............
******News about us are like various colors on a rainbow mane strand.
The curved ones embrace the earth, giving way home to the angels.
At the end of the day when we promised each other,
strengthening the spirit assures the heart.
About achieving a dream that depends on height.
If your smile keeps running when I chase
I did not stop to hope at dawn.
Later when you are tired of reality,
remember when we're desperate together.
Make me your place of standing
I'll leave my shoulder for you to lean on
I know my heart has been on my side for a long time
But stories about us in memory never fade****.
.................
The sound of a step from the shoe that collides with the floor and squeaks when the wearer performs a twisting maneuver, acted by the thumping sound of the reflection of the orange ball. It sounded like a command that made Rayhan walk quickly into the arena. He found, there is only one figure who is still crazy on the basketball court. All of his team members were preparing to go home. Only the dearest friend who is still loyal to meandering the round, as if this is his last waltz with the girl pujaan.
Rayhan sat in the now-empty player seat. He silently watched Aldo who kept moving energetically and as if tirelessly. But the look of that face could not hide his deep anger and sadness. At least the young man was unable to lie with a sense in his heart, when faced with a sidekick since they were kindergartens.
One hard shot with a sharp angle but able to make his own parabolic curve. Begin the entry of the orange round into the ring. And Aldo the shooter fell down while gasping for breath. When his tears fell down point by speck, that was when Rayhan sat down next to him.
" Have you been satisfied playing ? ", asked Rayhan who then laid his body with both hands.
Aldo did not reply, he made a sweeping motion of clear water that had rolled from both of his eyelids. Rayhan smiled even though he did not see the movement.
" When I'm satisfied. I want to buy a duck meal to burn a bamboo hut .. ", said Rayhan later.
" In what order ? ", Aldo asked with a slightly hoarse voice held back.
" Yes, in order to be hungry ".
" Not to interrogate me ? ".
" Ah no need!!!!. .. if you feel the time is right. You'll have to tell yourself later... ".
Aldo smiled, then lay down next to Rayhan. Staring at the stars scattered in the dark sky. He felt like the star, looking close together in a flickering together with a bright. But they are very saline far apart and lonely.
" hans.... ".
" Relative .... ".
" I'm like that star, yeah." Aldo muttered. " It looks beautiful and happy, but it is far apart and lonely ... ".
Aldo was born as two brothers. He has a beautiful younger sister, who is the same age as Rayhan's younger sister Anggita. But unfortunately two years ago Kirana Aldo's sister died in an accident. At that time Aldo had just graduated Junior High, and it was the heaviest blow in Aldo's life after the divorce of his parents.
" They argue and scorn each other again.really shameless. Rayhan knew, what Aldo meant was his mama papah.
Since his parents divorced, Aldo decided to live with his paternal grandparents. His sister had to go with her mother. A few months after the separation, both parents were married again of course with their respective affair. Little Kirana who is still in the third grade of Elementary School turns out to harbor tremendous heartache on the mother, who according to him becomes a stranger who is not at all affectionate anymore.
Little Kirana finally often runs away to stay at her grandparents' house to be with her sister. This made the dispute and dispute between the ex-husband and wife was ignited again and never extinguished. But Kirana's longing and the loneliness that afflicted her, especially when the mother has a baby from the results of her marriage, the new tang makes the fifth grade SD girl desperate to go to the house where the sister who is now the only focus of her affection is located.
But fatefully, that night was already his last night to feel the suffering and loneliness of the world. Because the daydream was too deep, he did not realize that the light was already green. Until finally a truck grabbed the side of his body until the little girl slammed into the sidewalk. And all that happened before Aldo's eyes.
Teenager Aldo cried, roared, shaking the body of the brother who seemed to sleep peacefully in his arms. Kirana still had time to give her sweet smile to the brother who came to hug her. To be delivered to the Creator by the one who loves him most and loves him most sincerely. Kirana left with a peaceful smile. Leaving the crying brother lamenting the blood-soaked body, slashing so deeply into the deep wounds of the heart. Incite hatred so deeply on a pair of cowards who can only scramble to attach importance to their own ego. And those two men are mamah and papah.
" That tomorrow is the day of the two-year anniversary of Kirana's death.
" Consideration again ? ", asked Rayhan who was answered with an annoyed grunt from Aldo but means 'yes'.
" When ... I'll never want to join one of them ".
" Then...just go with me yuk!!!. laper really ... ".
Rayhan got up and stretched out his arm to Aldo. " Come... grilled duck ..."
" Well.... ". And that bright smile spread across Aldo's face while clasping his best friend's outstretched hand. He got up with Rayhan's help, and the two walked in cheerful steps towards the parking lot.
The restaurant is not the largest and most luxurious among the rows of restaurants in the culinary center. But the comfortable feel, delicious taste and friendly prices make it never deserted by visitors.
This is the second plate ordered by the two friends. And still added with extra rice one more plate for two and two pieces of duck head. Two young men whose responsibilities are in the period of growth is really indulging the appetite for the fulfillment of body nutrients. That was when three girls who they already knew very well before.
" Eh.. the beautiful one" Aldo moved his eyes. Rayhan followed the direction of that gaze.
A tall girl towering like a model with a face like a caucasian race, she is Arlina. Behind him comes the school musician with a beautiful face and a charming smile Helena or commonly called Nana. Then the cute little guy with his bangs and ponytail hair, gray-eyed like rain in the twilight......Ardya Prameswari Nilam.
And Rayhan remembers well the full name of the girl who had a very sweet smile, if she smiled more often. Because the two of them had just been hanging in the LDK OSIS Disc. I don't know why Rayhan felt unable to take his eyes off the beautiful gray eyeball.
" Hey ... ladies. There is a treaty ".
Rayhan sniffed at Aldo, it was delicious .. he just ate two plus-plus portions, uh now even a few others. Aldo chuckled at Rayhan's expression.
" Wiiih...Who is the birthday ? ", arlina sat down with Rayhan.
Meanwhile, as if commanded, the centil Nana was directly next to Aldo. While the little Nilam was still standing by the table, the girl called out to the waiter instead.
" What message do you want ? as usual ? ", asked Nilam to two of his friends.
" Yes .. ", answered compactly by two girls who have been sitting comfortably next to handsome guys.
" Mas..es orange basil three, fried duck rice package three .. extra sambal yes ", message Nilam to the mas service politely.
Rayhan stole a glance as the girl spoke courteously at the service. This is a quiet girl who is actually good at English and Mandarin, the girl who had stolen his attention during the inaugural night of yesterday's class. He had thought that this girl felt very beautiful so he was reluctant to join his class friends who in fact were all field children. But Rayhan was wrong again, said the little guy so soft and polite.
And Rayhan did not know if the pair of eyes of friends sitting in front of him also caught every moment he stole a look at Nilam. Aldo smiled a little when he saw Rayhan who seemed petrified when Nilam chose to sit at the end of the same table but aloof.
'You must have begun to be fascinated with this little elf .... ', Aldo murmured to his best friend.
