16 Years ago
I was with my playmate Arga sipping our cigarettes casually under the bridge, staring at the stream in the middle of the hole.
“Ar, Nayra at school how?” I asked Arga who was Nayra's classmate
“as usual, the smartest, famous, guys – guys many like, the many girls are envi”
“if girlfriend?” this is the core of my question
“as far as I'm not, the guy he's at school is busy playing in the perpus. Eh.., why is she a boyfriend?” duhh.. Arga started to question me just now
“just let's go, sniffing opponents” I said with a laugh followed by Arga who already understood with my intention earlier.
The sound of a quick step from behind us, Arga and I immediately hid our cigarettes and became relieved after seeing the figure that came, Daffa apparently.
“from earlier?” Tanya Daffa immediately chose to sit on the rock, facing me and Arga. We just answer with a nod. “again talking what the hell?” Daffa tried to follow our conversation
“nih the Rayhan, it's – now about Nayra” said Arga who made Daffa look at me for a moment.
Daffa smiled then burned his cigarette. “so this makes every night never alpa?”
I could only smile in response to Daffa's question just now. So, in front of Nayra's grandmother's house there is a hall – hall which is usually used as a gathering place for teenagers in the neighborhood at night. Usually I, Daffa and others sing along with the guitar there. If it was Sunday night, Nayra came to stay at her grandmother's house, which automatically made her join us, making me and her so often chat or joke. Where I began to get to know her more closely, what she liked and disliked and unknowingly we were already friends.
“hopefully received yah”dafa said with a laugh, which made me misbehave finally the three of us laugh. But I don't know when it's time to express my feelings to Nayra, because I'm afraid when she refuses, then our friendship will be awkward.
Being busy with the semester exams makes everything difficult to do now. Let alone declaring love, meet hard. Nayra must have been busy with her exams as well. Let it go, see you later, I thought.
Until finally I can feel relieved after the semester exam and health. Well, I got sick after the exam which made the time not to meet any longer. I was sitting on the terrace when Arga arrived and sat with me.
“Ar, tomorrow we see sunset on yuk beach. Take Arin with Nayra also” I said followed Arga to want to go to the beach near our residence and invite his sister who is good friends with Nayra.
“by..can... let me be allowed to borrow the motor.if invite Arin more easily” welcome Arga who also agreed with my proposal.
My plan when I arrived at the beach wanted to invite Nayra to see the scenery and then expressed my feelings for her.Nayra really likes to see the sunset, I want it to be an unforgettable moment for her. Can't wait for tomorrow.
The next day we went to the beach together, I hugged Nayra while Arga was with her sister Arin. Until the beach I was quite surprised to see Daffa, Adit, and – children of our village were playing together on the beach, we finally decided to join and play with them. Since there were many girls also coming along, Nayra and I became separated. Nayra remained with them until the time came home. I was quite disappointed because I could not tell my feelings to him, so on the way home even I still chose to be silent because of the loss of mood and was tired of playing on the beach earlier. Without realizing that it was something I would regret later.
The next week night I had intended to express my feelings to her, I had dressed up neatly and perfumed which made my mother cough – cough the first time I smelled my scent when I came out of the room, I was too fragrant she said. I was sitting on the terrace, looking at the atmosphere of the village at night that had begun to look crowded, because many children – young people who went back and forth. Arga walked quickly to my house, saying his greetings he hurriedly took the seat before me.
“do you know yet?” said Arga while trying to catch her breath.
“apa?” I said curious about Arga's question just now, to make him rush – gesa like this.
“Daffa, he shot Nayra” Arga sentence just now as if stopping time for a moment. How could? Did Daffa like Nayra all this time? Why the moment she found out I liked Nayra she didn't say anything.
My gaze was pitched to Arga, and in my disbelief I still kept thinking how it could be, how it could be and how it could be. I felt as if I had been betrayed by the person I considered to be my own brother.
“what's Nayra's answer?” I said that I was not ready to hear the answer.ah.god, why should I like the same person anyway.
“Nayra accepts Daffa as her boyfriend” I stand while scrambling – random my hair trying to vent my frustration. It's not funny, I even find it hard to breathe. I can't be silent like this, I stepped out of the house, followed by Arga behind me, trying to find the existence of Daffa who was cool singing with – other children in front of the house of grandmother Nayra.
“Daffa..” call me without bases – stale, I need an explanation on this. Daffa took off the guitar in his hand and approached me who was trying to get away from the crowd. My heart grew stifling as I watched him walk over while smiling at me.
“why Rey?” duhhh.
“since when do you like Nayra?” I'm asking my question
“not too long ago” I wanted to beat Daffa face right then, I tried to regulate my breath so as not to be defeated my emotions that began to spread this.
“you know, if I like Nayra” oh. This is not the time to joke Daffa
“sorry Rey, at first I jokingly wanted to shoot Nayra, uh know – yearsya accepted with him"
Yuk!!! A jab hit landed onto Daffa's face. Arga who stood beside me arrived – caught me and tried to make me retreat, while Daffa seemed shocked by my punch just now. I knew he wouldn't have expected me to hit him for a woman.
“jerk!!” my aunt to Daffa who is still silent “oh yes, may you and she never be happy” continued I left Daffa aghast.
The ringing alarm on the nightstand woke me up, it was strange why it was a dream event again, I thought. My hand moves to turn off the alarm that still sounds, making me confused, why do I set the alarm on Sunday?.
Leaving the alarm that showed at 8 am, I went out of the room, then turned on the coffee maker, followed by my bathroom activities. Tonight, I slept at my house because I was too tired to go home to my mom, which took about 45 minutes. I immediately poured my coffee out of the bathroom and then walked to the back porch, sitting by raising 1 foot on the table enjoying the view of the backyard decorated with a swimming pool with – flowers around it. My memory goes back to Nayra, who last night told me about what happened in Sydney and brought her back to this city. Makes me feel guilty for not wanting to reopen the wound because I couldn't stand to see her cry like last night, I wanted to be her tranquilizer, and I knew this was starting to go wrong.
Because somehow we always met unplanned, making me think about it more than Mila who is still my girlfriend. Moreover, somehow from the first time I saw it I was haunted by a past that was not as simple as it seemed, not just a teenage love story, but also about the journey of life, the friendship that is part of me that exists now.
The ringing of the phone blew away my line of thought. Mila's in the call. We have an appointment today.
“halo” my broom then sipped the coffee that began to cool down in front of me.
“rey..” spoiled Mila's tone when calling even though her voice sounds a little different than before.
“Rey, like I can not meet today, I suddenly flu berat” I frowned, usually he still forced to meet and even if I can not he will ask to be visited at home, tumben he won't meet.
“want me to jengukin?” I try to make him happy
“don't Rey, I'm afraid you're contagious because I sneezed continuously from earlier”
“ya already, take medicine, run out of it sleep so that tomorrow can enter work” I said which was answered by ready boss by Mila.
I was still staring at the cellphone when Nayra arrived – arrived crossed my head.oh yes, I will have a phone number that I got last week.soon I called Nayra.
“hallo?” nayra's voice sounded too fresh for the person she was worrying about.
“you are too excited, for the one who came home with puffy eyes late at night” I said protesting
“Rayhan?” he tried to guess my voice. “from where you can. ahh. surely last week well, in the shop Bu Dewi” the question stopped because of the speed of thinking, he managed to find the answer before I said it.
“you finished what the hell, the spirit is very?” I still wonder what he is again.
“i just came home jogging” I saw a mobile phone screen that shows at 9 am.
“what time did you get home last night?” can – usually he took the time to wake up early
“mm.. around 2am, maybe”
answer Nayra start guessing – nebak
“and you still get up early for sports? Nayra, you can get sick that there” this behavior makes me sound so protective of her
“Rey... quiet... I'm good – fine, I'm used to kayak gini” and I'm not used to hearing your stubborn answer
“who were you jogging for?” I'm guessing Daffa, ah.began jealous again I
“alone” said Nayra briefly heard he was drinking.
“oh...kirain sama Daffa” says – words in my head arrived – arrived spoken without me straining first.
“what the heck. Daffa mulu” Nayra started to get upset
“do you not equal Daffa?” my question made Nayra's laughter break across.What the hell is funny to her?
“Rey, let me be clear.. Daffa it's just I consider a friend, I can't reverse the same he” a small smile formed on my lips. I thought they'd turn it back.
“but you once liked him, when there was no chance to turn him back. Daffa has always wanted to reverse with you”
“when did I say I liked Daffa? Since when did you become Daffa's sponsor?” nayra asked back
“you've been dating, right? Means you ever like Daffa” duh. koq so discuss Daffa continue anyway.
“I never liked Daffa” Nayra's tone began to sound cranky. “I nerima she became a girlfriend, because I made an agreement with Adit” Nayra's answer just made me surprised, I'm sure I'm happy, because almost 16 years passed and I didn't ask Nayra what she liked about Daffa
“Agreement? What agreement?”I became more enthusiastic
“When Ika my school friends like Adit, so I try to deketin them, as well as Adit try to decetin me with Daffa. While Adit did not like me, I did not like Daffa. So we make an agreement, if Adit wants to be the same Ika, it means Nayra must also want the same Daffa” explanation that is quite emotional anyway, actually, can – usually they think of their friends but do not think of me.
“oh... shitt!!!” my mom slowly remembered something
“why?” Nayra sounded full of anticipation
“I even hit him after knowing he shot you” I did regret that, and even more regret after knowing that the story was like this. “I even swore you guys so not happy” Nayra's laughter became – so after hearing my confession earlier
“Rey.. I can’t imagine.” Nayra's laughter still sounded floating, until he had trouble regulating his breath.
“good to know, that you’re laugh” I actually pointed at my heart that was initially worried about the state of Nayra.
“thank’s Rey. Its made my day” Nayra's words just now are quite relieved me, because I know she will be good – is fine.
“anytime..” answer me with doubt “Nay..”
“hmm.. “this silence makes me restless.
“I miss you” I said arrived.
“Rayhan!! You are crazy well.” Nayra's surprised voice made my laughter break, she immediately turned off her phone, while I was still laughing because of it. But it's true, deep down there I miss him a lot, more than anything.
