Only One Heart
Friend at High School
The clock shows the figure of seven nights when Purna arrives at the place of agreement that has been arranged by Rasti. He entered a restaurant that his mother mentioned in a message. A homey restaurant located in the Plaza Indonesia area which is now Purna entered looks crowded by visitors. Purna's eyes looked around, looking for a female figure named Shinta, who said Rasti, tonight wearing a pink dress. Just as his eyes rolled to the left, Purna captured the visualization of a girl with the same characteristics as the one that Rasti mentioned earlier this afternoon, sitting alone in the corner of the room, sitting alone, facing a wall of dewy glass, the remnants of the rain this afternoon. Taking a deep breath, Purna began to take a step, swinging a pair of his long legs towards the table. Half a meter from the position of the girl in question, Purna cleared his throat softly, but quite audible by the girl in pink who then turned to Purna with a smile dikulum.
“Mmm, excuse me. Right this with—”
“Shinta.” The girl cut quickly, while standing up to welcome the men who said her mother was the son of her best friend. With a gemulai movement, Shinta reached out, inviting the Purna to get acquainted.
“You must be Full, right?” Purna nodded stiffly while replying to Shinta's hand with a small smile.
“It's good to be with you, Shinta,” he said after his second hand job was released, which immediately invited a laugh from the interlocutor. Purna frowned, astonished at the reaction shown by Shinta, while he did not feel that he had done something funny that could make people laugh.
“Oh, please .. don't call me by the designation ‘Anda’ so. Just in, again.” Shinta stopped her laughter and let Purna sit down. The girl was about to speak, when a female servant in a black and white uniform came and asked for an order. Be silent for a moment, letting Purna order and equating his order with the handsome young man.
“By the way, I was horrified from nyokap, elo said he graduated abroad, yes?” Shinta. He pressed his back and folded his hands on the table, trying to get Purna to talk.
“Yes, there you have it,” replied Purna short. He was a little misbehaved to find the gaze of Shinta's eyes that had never been separated from looking at him.
“Elo itself?” “Hahaha, if I am mah, local graduates. Not allowed to go to college outside the same nyokap. Reason, cliche. I'm the only girl,” Shinta's story without hesitation. Purna responded with a smile, not too interested in talking at length with women he just knew less than half an hour. Be that as it may, he was only a true listener of Shinta who apparently had a mouth as chatty as Rasti. From her meeting tonight, Purna can conclude, Shinta is a girl who is fun enough to be a friend. But not to establish a relationship. Shinta still could not make Purna's heart stirred. Unlike him, who just by saying his name alone can make Purna's heart rate rise sharply.

“So, how?” rasti asked from across the teleopon line. Shinta has been home since ten minutes ago, while Purna is still at home sitting in this restaurant with a glass of cappucino that has just been ordered.
“Beauty,” Reply Short.
“After beautiful?”
“I think he's good too.”
“Purna!” Rasti. Upset by the son's long-winded answer.
“You know that's not what Mama meant!”
“Keep, Mama wants me to say how?” The full-back asked. The look of his eyes that looked tired, he was pointed at the glass wall that tonight displayed the lights of the city that was so charming.
“Yes, what, cake, so. You guys fit in, or how.”
“Ma ... Mama herself right, who said, if for the sake of his belakanya up to me.”
“Yes, but right, there is not one of Shinta's self that makes you interested in deketin him.”
“Kalo for a relationship that Mama meant, sorry, Purna can't.”
“Jessica ..” Unknowingly, Purna's lips called out one name. The name of a girl he used to tease at school. The figure who felt his name was called stopped swinging his legs looking for an empty table. He looks. Spontaneously his eyes rounded to find someone he knew very well. With a gaping mouth, he noticed the person from the tip of the foot to the tip of the head, trying to find a gap of difference, maybe he was wrong. But, no. This guy really ..—
“Una?” Jessica almost screamed hysterically, lucky that she still remembered where she was, so she did not have to let go.
“You're Una, right?” Not yet Purna said, Jessica had already hit him, hugging Purna tightly, followed by a small sobbing that began to sound from the girl's thin lips. Some visitors whose desk position is not far from Purna's seat noticed the action of the two at a glance, before returning busy chatting and playing mobile phones. Honestly, I was quite surprised to get a close hug that still feels warm. His hands trembled, not believing that he met his best friend again during the gray white first, but still he was forced to move, returning Jess's embrace equally tightly.
“I miss, tau!” a happy smile could not be Purna-tolerant as soon as he heard Jessica's whining. Her best friend is still the same as before. Spoiled. But, Purna likes it
. “I ... also.” It was as if he was at a loss for words. He can only stroke Jess's back more than the last time he saw her. Trying to ease the cries of Jess because of their meeting back after a long time. Slowly, Jess let go of their embrace. He dragged the empty seat that Shinta had occupied, approaching the position of Purna. Without hesitation, he took Purna's drink mug and emphasized its contents. Purna was not angry, he actually smiled a little at Jess's behavior that was still shameless as before. He missed this girl. Very!
“So it can be explained, where have you been all this time? It's like saying that. Make me a bunch of tau!” sulking Jess as she warmed her right hand into the air, about to wipe away the remains of tears that gave a wet trace extending across her cheek, but Purna's hand first brushed her off, soft. The young man took a piece of tissue from the square box on the table and rubbed it gently on Jess' cheek. Instead of stopping crying, sobs Jessica even louder. Luckily, the intro sound of the song secured by a pianist on the other end muted the sobs of Jessica who had started hiccupping.
“Udah, ah! Growing up, you really, like getting whiny aja.” Purna gently pulled Jessica's head and carried her back into her arms.
“Then know, seen by people, tuh!”
“Kangen Una ...,” whining Jessica in between her tears.
“Sama, I miss you too, Jess.”
“So?” recalling her unanswered question, Jessica threw herself out of Purna's embrace and stared at him intently. Trying to intimidate, even if it fails. Purna took a breath,
“I studied abroad, Jess. Kan, I've told you before,” he said slowly, hoping Jessica would not ask questions. This friend of his does not need to know the reason for his escape abroad is because he is heartbroken. No. gabe. Let Purna keep it to himself.
“But you are not saying goodbye to us. Even ... In fact, I don't know when you're leaving. Tau-tau you said that!” argue Jess. Again the corners of his eyes water, but he quickly removed using the back of the hand. Purna smiled weakly. I could not bear to see Jess' tears dripping down.
“Yourself, how are you?” tanyanya, trying to shift the topic of conversation.
“As you see.” Jessica wanted to answer ketus, but could not. He misses his best friend too much.
“You yourself how are you? I have a pair, right? I'm not single anymore, right?” he asked repeatedly, unaware of the smile on Purna's lips that began to fade. Akhs! Why is that what Jessica asked. Purna suddenly became upset.
“Unfortunately, I am still single,” replied Purna finally. The smile that had faded, he looked again only so that Jessica did not feel suspicious.
“Oh my god! Just broke up, have you never dated since High School?” Jesica covered her gaping mouth with one hand. Quite amazed by his handsome best friend, but did not have a partner. Purna raised his shoulders indifferently in response, making Jess's rounded mouth diameter even larger.
“You alone?” And the surprised face of his female companion disappeared as soon as Purna asked so, changing into a shy smile that made Purna's forehead wrinkled with astonishment. Instead of answering, Jessica stuck her left hand into the air, revealing a beautiful circular platinum ring on her ring finger. Answering Purna's question which was suddenly silent. Facing Jessica with her sudden face.
