MY SOUL MATE IS MY BEST FRIEND

Chapter 13

Arriving at the restaurant, Karin and her parents immediately entered the table that had been ordered by her father from afar. Since it is now a graduation announcement, surely many restaurants will be full if not reservations in advance.

" What do you want to eat, baby? " Task papa Karin while giving her the menu book.

Karin opened the menu book and looked around for a while.

" I want to order Fettucini cream cheese sauce and drink Avocado juice " Karin said to the waiter.

He used to not like the menu of foods that smell of cheese, but when with Ardi he always ordered food made of cheese. So he started trying it and so liked it until now. Ardi has changed Karin's life a lot since her presence on Karin's side.

Five minutes later the food ordered by Karin had come, he immediately devoured it to the point of not being left out. Mama and her papa who saw it became astonished, because as far as they knew since childhood Karin did not like cheese but now she really likes her in the way Karin eats. They realized they had missed a lot of things about their daughter.

" You want to order some more food, Rin? " Task papa Karin.

" No, Karin is full" replied Karin.

Karin and her two pu parents chatted while enjoying their lunch. Suddenly someone called Karin.

" win"

" Robby's sister" Karin immediately turned her head and found Robby who had called her.

" How is it said Rin, long time no news brother" said Robby.

" I'm sorry, sis, Karin is busy with her exams " replied Karin with a smile.

" This is your same mom? " Tanya Robby saw papa and mama Karin.

" Yes, my brother, know this papa with mama Karin, Pa, ma this is Temen Karin" Karin introduced each other.

" Hello om, my aunt Robby temen Karin" Sapa Robby on papa and mama Karin.

" Ooh his friend Karin, his aunt thinks Karin's boyfriend. After all, it's so handsome, isn't Rin? " Tempta mama Karin who made Karin wrong.

" Mama what the hell, it's not good same brother Robby" said Karin protesting her mother's speech.

" Yes, I'm sorry, Robby's aunt is just kidding me" Mama Karin apologized to Robby.

" It's not papa aunty" Robby replied.

" Who's Robby coming here? " Task Papa.

" Himself om, happened to have come home from the hospital so all of you stopped by to eat" replied Robby.

" Join us if you don't mind" said mama Karin.

" Not bother about aunt? " ask Robby.

" No dong, isn't it Rin? " mama Karin asked Karin for her opinion.

" Yes, join us" replied Karin.

"Thank you, auntie" Robby sat down on Karin's empty side chair.

" Ooh, where's Robby going to college? " ask mama Karin.

" I went to college at UI Auntie" Robby replied.

" Take what major? "

" Aunty medicine, now it's been five months" explained Robby.

" Well, same dong with Karin. Do you want to study medicine because of Robby, Rin? " Mama Karin is unceasingly teasing her son.

" Iiih mami is not "grunts Karin because she is upset with her mama.

" Karin wants to take medicine too? " ask Robby to Karin.

" Want to study in Indonesia or go abroad? "

" Had wanted to be in Aussie, brother, but after thinking about it in Jakarta aja deh" said Karin.

" There is no college you have enrolled in? " Task Robby again.

" There are two campuses that really Karin kak, now confused about which one to choose"

" Whoa, great dong. Which campus is it? "

" In the same lamp UI"

" Why not take the UI? "

" It wants that, but in UI can scholarship only 50% if in Pelita 70%".

" Take the scholarship program? "

" Yes, brother, let's not be too heavy the cost" said Karin with a laugh.

" Take it at UI if you want Rin, papa still able to charge it" said Papa Karin who from earlier only listened to Robby and Karin talk.

" Yes pa, Karin will think again" replied Karin.

After a long time of talking, Karin and her parents finally decided to go home and say goodbye to Robby.

" When you want to go home, Robby's boy" said mama Karin.

" Yes aunty, later if there is a definite time Robby play" replied Robby.

Karin and her parents get into the car while Robby is still outside, they wave at Robby and the car leaves the restaurant.

" Know Robby where is Rin? " Ask her mom while they're on their way.

" In the garden ma" replied Karin.

" Have you known him for a long time? ".

Karin turned her head and looked at her mother at a glance, she felt strange when her mother turned her attention like this to want to know about all her friends.

" It wasn't long ago, just a few weeks ago" Karin said.

During the trip Karin felt tired of responding to her mother's unrelenting questions. Starting from school, to her friends. He also finally shared his problems with his three best friends until the end made him stay away from them.

" Aren't you trying to understand why they're hiding that from you? " ask mama Karin.

" For what, ma, they have not considered Karin because they lied to Karin about something as important as this" Karin said with annoyance given the incident at the airport at that time.

" You can't draw your own conclusions like that"

" There is no point in discussing ma, besides Ardi has also left"

" Maybe they have their own reasons for not telling you. You try to hear first what their explanation is like, then you can conclude" proposed mama Karin.

" Yes ma" Karin replied in the end agreeing to her mama's proposal.

***

Arriving at the house Karin went straight into the room and cleaned her body that already felt very sticky. After taking a shower, she took her phone and opened the incoming messages from her classmates and close relatives.

Many who say congratulations on his graduation, including to his three friends Sita, Dimas and Rafi. Although Karin had never returned their messages during this time, they still often sent messages to her.

From the row of messages and congratulations, there was not a single message from Ardi. Her heart was very sick considering Ardi who could make her sick like this. Not willing to be dissolved in grief, Karin opened her inst**** account.

She scrolled from top to bottom, and her eyes widened in disbelief at seeing Ardi for the first time posting on her account after her departure. But what surprised him was the woman in the photo with Ardi.
