My Choice of Match

Special eps: Thorn 8

I went into the room and closed the door, on my phone screen was written Nadin's name.There was a little curiosity in my heart, for what Nadin called me these nights.

"Hello" said Nadin after I picked up the phone.

"Hi din, how are you?" my broom.

"Hi Mel good ko, how are you?"

"I'm also good ko, what's Din calling?"

"There's nothing ko, I just miss doang equally you, it feels like we haven't met and walked together.Usually we used to spend time together constantly"

There was a void tone in the sentence he said, I understood after I was able to get out of the hospital Nadin said he was going back to Jakarta and since that day we have not met again and even this is the first phone call after so long.

"I miss you too Din... "

"Say you now live in Bogor?"

"Yes, I work at my aunt's shop"

"Sure you've got a new theme there"

"There are some, I also want to stay here a month when I don't have a friend yet"

"Knowledge of your speech that has changed, you are so familiar with people and where you live surely the tone of your speech ngikutin people around you"

I laughed at Nadin's words, it's true that I can easily make friends.But a theme like Nadin there is only one in the world, he is a friend, a friend and I have considered to be aware of myself, he is the one who is either happy or difficult.

"When you play dong to Jakarta, I miss the road with you again"

"Yes Din, I miss it too. If there's time I'm gonna play with my new friends here"

"Sip, yes, I hung up the phone. Nye"

"Yes bye"

The phone was disconnected, I thought Nadin would tell me something about Jordan was open. Oh no, why should I think like that. Jordan died a long time ago for me why should I still be curious about his life now.I have my own life.

"Sir tonight we play yu!" sely said as we ate our lunch.

"Where?"

"Well, I'll play again"

"Oh yes"

"We are ajakin kak Damar and Kak Afdal yuk"

"It's up to you, if they can take it"

"Ah they can, then let me tell them."

Probably since that day I, Sely, brother Damar, have been, and Afdal brother so often meet and often walk together.We are also getting closer to if joking has to the limit of outrageous but none of us are angry.

I have found my spirit that once died, now I want to live longer because I just realized there are many places that I have not visited, there are many things that I do not know, there are a lot of stories that I haven't heard, so why would I think of things that would just hurt my heart.

Mom and dad also became calmer looking at me like this, sometimes mother asked when I would bring a daughter-in-law for her, my age is getting older and mother's age is getting less he wants to see me sitting in a chair mumpung still healthy with relaxed I replied.

"The soul mate already has something to offer, though, no matter how hard I try to get her if she opens my soul mate God will still separate us.No need to rush the important healthy mother keeps healthy father continues and I also healthy continues, healthy continues, because I believe God has given the best soul mate for me just that our meeting takes time"

I've felt it twice, felt he was my soul mate but it wasn't.Whatever hard I tried to maintain still he went from beside me, no matter what, I don't want to get hurt for the third time.I have friends who are so good and make me better, so I want to spend time with my friends first.

"What's this?" I asked as I read the paper.

"Carnival, open from tonight go yuk must be exciting deh brother"

I smiled at Sely's child-like behavior, I nodded and she immediately cheered.

"But I go home first yes, later let Brother Damar pick me up you wait with Brother Afdal aja yes"

"Ready boss."

After work I went straight home, I also told ka Damar so that I took a quick shower and prepared. Aunt Isma smiled looking at me who came out of the room in neat and fragrant clothes.He whistled and tried to tease me.

"Udah neat already fragrant, briefly again must be the guy picked up"

"Apaan is aunty, my friend who picked up aunty already knows" I replied while holding back a laugh.

"Temen what temen"

"Aunty management, main theme"

Aunt Isma still wanted to tease me but the sound of the bike was pulled in front, I knew Kak Damar had arrived.Immediately open the door and indeed Kak Damar who came.

"Are you ready for Mel?"

"Would you like to walk now?"

"Come on."

We also went to pick up Sely and Afdal, the atmosphere tonight is bright indeed fitting if spent to ride some rides at the carnival also see the beautiful sky.

Only some of the rides that we rode but it feels tired, I ask for a short break but Sely insistent on wanting to ride another vehicle soon, he said, alhasih Kak Damar who went to accompany Sely and I rest with Brother Afdal.

"Mel you're okay I live alone first, I want to buy a drink"

"Oh yes, but not for long"

"I'm not just buying a drink to Baghdad doang"

Said Brother Afdal as he left me, before long he came back drinking and sitting beside me.

"Arrhhhhhhh fresh" he said after finishing half a bottle.

"Where am I, brother?" I asked because I didn't see him carry another bottle.

"Oh you want, talking dong from earlier know that I bought it for you.Gue just buy one doang anyway" he replied casually.

"Iihhhhh.. basic guy is not sensitive see what I cape like this, instead of consciously buyin drink instead buy for yourself doang"

"No need to drink, I'm running again"

He said as he thrust the bottle at me, irritatedly I drank the water to the point of almost running out.Seeing the water stayed a little rough he took it from me.

"Eh don't be in abisin woy" he shouted.

We fought over the water that had stayed a little, I laughed happily because Brother Afdal tried hard to snatch the water from me not to mention his startled screams when I pretended to bite his hand.

We laughed happily and didn't stop joking until someone called me, a voice I knew.
