Only One Heart

About Aika

“Hai,” greeting Purna awkward on the two women who used to always follow him during High School. Aika and Jessica who were currently focusing their eyes on him. “Ugh! Long time, anyway. We are waiting for him to be bullied, tau,” dumel Jess who is fully responded to only with a crisp grin. The young man finally took a seat in an empty chair opposite Jessica, not daring to sit across from Aika who was actually moaning. “Sori. The road was jammed!” plenary Lie. Though he had arrived since then, it was just too hesitant to immediately enter and meet the two girls here. Purna felt, he was not ready. “Not Jakarta by name, if it's not stuck!” purna's attention that he had deliberately spiked on Jess was stolen, when his ears caught the voice he so longed to speak up. Purna turned to Aika who turned to look at her with one eyebrow raised high, until it disappeared behind her thick bangs. “Still live lo?” ask Aika later. The sarcastic question that actually sounded very sweet in Purna's ears, because that was how Aika. Moreover, their relationship has never gotten along since High School. Both can make a friendship because of Jessica. Jess is Purna's friend since childhood, while Aika is a girl friend that Jessica got in High School. There was a bond of friendship between the three of them. And Purna really does not know for sure, what has caused him to fall in love with this kind of girl Aika. In fact, when compared to Jessica, Aika's beauty was still one level below her. But in the eyes of Purna, even the prettiest angel, nothing can rival the charm of an Aika. And that thought, practically made Purna feel himself positively insane. “Ya, as elo see now.” Purna shook his shoulders, pretending to be indifferent to the question that Aika asked, even though his heart had been pounding. Purna can only hope, hopefully Aika will not hear it. Hopefully! Shortly after, a servant came to their table. Ask what food to order. Jessica had the opportunity to call the order first, then Purna and Aika chose to equate. “Elo itself, how are you?” ask Purna after the waiter leaves to process their order. “Gue well—” “Kalo si Aika don't ask, Una. She's adding more nyebelin now!” Jessica chimed in, cutting out Aika's unfinished sentence uttered entirely. “Ish, there are elo tuh, which is getting more and more beautiful. My amazement, what Bang Riko saw from elo!” “Una, Aika, tuh!” Jessica whines, exactly a little boy who is complaining his friend's ignorant behavior to the mother. The woman even tugged at Purna's shirt sleeves, asking for a defense of her boyfriend. “Elah .... You brat!” dengus Aika was upset. “Kayak so, elo say not nyebelin? Aih ...” And Purna, he could only laugh to watch the two women's mouths before him. It was as if he were six years ago, moments where they were mocking each other, and the next second would embrace each other. Ah, Purna missed those times. And the awkwardness that he had felt, now I don't know where it went. Purna knows, he does not regret accepting Jessica's dinner invitation, even though the corner of his heart is screaming, what he will regret is his love will be imprisoned by the owner of the same name. Nareswari Malaika. But, it's okay. Just tonight. Let Purna treat this longing. “Gue did not expect, it turns out even though you have become brothers, still fighting each other bacot gini, yes?” tanya Purnaya removed one clear spot in the corner of her eye. “Hahaha .. yes, that's it, deh, Na!” “Forced, yes. If Bang Riko had not been too late with him, cave ogah ah, brother-in-law of Jess,” said Aika, half serious, half joking, half joking, which practically invites Jess' thin lips forward a few inches because of the teasing. “Elo is still the same, Ai. Bad talk abis!” Purna spoke between laughter. Her heart warmed when she mentioned the cut of her puja girl's name. Ai. Which, in the school used to be only Purna who called him that. Most kids will call Aika by the call ‘Ka’. And if it's nosy, Purna will call him Alai. Huh! How Purna wanted to go back six years ago. “Who would have thought, yes, the Jess would have married first. He is, at best, the most spoiled, nothing. How hard people are!” Aika straightened out, making Jess' face even more gloomy. Realizing the change in face of the sister-in-law, immediately Aika hit her mouth that was not schooled. How could he forget, Jess's feelings are now being unstable. “Kanda, elah! You mah, seriously enough!” Jessica winked funny, trying to dampen the tears that had overshadowed her clear eyes that were shaded by thin eyebrows that curved neatly. “Abis. Becandaan lo nyelekit, anyway. Yes, said the Una. Cracky!” he then took a piece of tissue, and rubbed it on the corner of the eye that was still watering. In her seat, Aika could only roll her eyes. Sometimes he thought, Jessica was a child trapped in an adult body. Purna, for a moment he did not make a sound. Aika's words about Jessica's marriage, making Purna's laughter slowly disappear. From the corner of the eye, Aika who is now smiling sinlessly at Jess who seems reluctant to accept her apology. Full feeling suddenly chaotic. Thinking about whether Aika also already had a partner. Whether it's a girlfriend or a fiancee. Purna wants to ask. But he has no courage. Afraid if later Aika's answer does not match her expectations. “Emang, when did Jess marry Mas Riko?” one voice in Purna's head cussed as the question came out of his mouth. What he wanted to know was that Aika's status was unclear to him. “Six months ago.” Jessica replied. “Mmm ...” Purna was a little hesitant, but eventually tried to ventured. “If Aika, when will it follow?” at least, it's a safe question, and quite a trap. Jessica's mouth was open, about to answer with his ignorant face, but it had to be delayed, because of the arrival of a servant who lined up their order. Purna sighed, even though he had prepared himself to hear Jessica's answer with a pounding heart and a stiffened body. And the tension had to last longer to wait for the waiter to finish his job of arranging food. As soon as the servant left, Purna moved his body forward, intending to hear these two people's answers before him carefully. But instead of getting an answer, Aika's phone rang screaming for attention. Hurriedly the girl lifted him up while standing up, asking Jessica and Purna for permission to talk to someone who contacted her, which Purnal responded with a nod of once, a little unwillingness actually. While the Jess instead began busy rolling her spaghetti with chopsticks. Forgetting the question Purna asked. In my heart, Purna cursed so badly. Upset, he began to eat. But when he was about to feed a spaghetti scroll into the mouth, Jess' voice that he had been waiting for was heard. Making Purna chopsticks that are full of spaghetti scrolls stuck in the air to then fall back to the plate. “You were just Aika, right?” Hurry Purna nodded. I don't want to lose this golden opportunity. “She may not get married anytime soon like, Na,” explains Jess without looking at Purna. He was busy rolling the second spaghetti feed. Not paying attention to the body of Purna who has now leaned to the table with his mupeng face. “Why is that?” and the young man couldn't help but ask. “Yes, whose sister wants to marry, Na? He's a, single.” Jess then feeds her own mouth. Purna gulped, stunned at the answer he had just heard. Aika is alone? For what? “Kok can?” ask Purna stupid. Almost made Jess choke on the spaghetti she was chewing. Grabbing the glass of green tea that he just ordered, Jess immediately sipped until the contents were left half. “Yourself, why can it still be single?” Jessica asked back. Feeling silly with the previous Purna question. Purna scratched the nape that was a little itchy. Wrong with the counterattack Jess did. “Yes, because no one is suitable yet, Jess.” Reply Purna while sipping his drink a little. “Not found a suitable one yet, can't move on?”

Uhuk! Purna chokes. Drinks that are supposed to flow through the esophagus, stray down the throat. Hurry after distancing the glass from his lips and put it back on the table while covering his mouth with his left hand, so that the liquid he had been drinking did not squirt out. Then try to swallow it slowly. Jessica stopped eating, she advanced her body and clasped her chin at Purna. He felt no guilt at all for what he had done to his best friend. “You ... you ...” Purna was at a loss for words, unable to believe what Jessica had just asked. Or Purna can call it ... satire? Jessica chuckles. Purna's stupid face really comforted him. “Shock yes, because I know?” goda. “Hahaha ... it's been a long time, Naaa!” “How can it?” Purna looked at jessica closely. The confusion remains unanswered. And his worries are now growing. If Jessica knows, then what about Aika? Oh, myGod! Die if Aika finds out too. “Quiet aja. I'm the only one, who knows. Aika doesn't know at all.” Full shoulder dropped drooping on the seat back. A breath of relief was being blown from his mouth. In a grateful heart thousands of times, then blurted a sharp look at Jess. Requesting explanation. “We've been together since childhood, Na. I know you not only for two years. What else did you call him ... beeugh, you know, you don't!?” Purna gulped. “In the meantime, huh?” Jess answered with a nod of innocence. “Continue, besides you, who else knows?’ “It looks like, nothing, Na. Just me. Hehehe ..” “Yakin, Aika don't know this problem?” Purna. “Hu-um.” “Since when do you know?” “Acrise second class SMA.” “For that?” purna's back, which had been leaning back, was pulled forward as soon as he heard Jess' plain answer. “Sori, yes ... I lama.” Not yet Jessica replied, Aika had already come with a wide grin on her lips. Purna and Jess turned in unison to the girl. Purna's face paled. His heart was anxious. Worried that Aika could hear her chat with Jessica.
