Meet Friend Somplak

Happy reading

***

As Rendra had expected. Meeting old friends was like going back to the time he had been through while still wearing a gray white uniform. The nostalgia he so longed for was also painful. Strange indeed. Rendra did not want to remember. But even though he has tried to shadow the past he still feels. Be ill.

But more importantly now, he met his old friend who used to be very familiar with his ridiculous state. When you remember, he laughed to himself.

Now everything has changed. Each has their own profession. Of course, this was already ten years passed by the time he graduated school.

Especially the Kenzo couple. He was holding a beautiful woman. I don't know who Rendra doesn't know. Reyhan only shook his head when asked about the woman beside Kenzo.

They just muttered, we lost start bro. Smiling and laughing at themselves.

Only Rahman seemed busy discussing this with the committee and teachers who helped plan this event.

"He didn't sleep? His face was like a zombie when I came. Haha.." Reyhan chirped as he looked at his friend named Rahman.

"Definitely lack of sleep." said Rendra.

"Please contact nutritionist Lo at the hospital where Ren works. He looks fresh and doesn't look older than us. Haha.." said Reyhan pointing at Rahman's face that repeatedly furrowed eyebrows.

So was the chatter between Reyhan and Rendra. Everyone laughed at Rahman, who had a thin mustache. Looks grown up.

"Hi guys." greet someone. Her voice was soft. Very familiar to them. Everyone looked at that voice. Apparently Nayla.

"Well, Doctor ma'am. Who's coming with you?" ask Reyhan to Nayla.

Deg. Rendra was stunned looking at Nayla who was now far away changed. It had been five years that he had not met Nayla after graduating from college and Rendra returned to this S town. Nayla chose to settle in the capital and got a job there. This is the first time Rendra met Nayla who has now metamorphosed into an elegant graceful girl. Especially now that the title has become a doctor.

Rendra turned her eyes to someone beside Nayla. A man who looks the same age.

"He's the mayor's son. Her name is Niko, Nik, I know these are my friends" Nayla said, introducing Niko. It does not explain what relationships they have. Nayla just wanted to know the reaction of someone. Yes, Rendra.

Nayla glanced at the corner of her eye, how the mimic reaction of Rendra's face. Is he surprised by himself now or is the same. He thinks he's just an ordinary friend. Nayla hopes that she will count on something different. This reunion is so awaited by Nayla to be able to meet with Rendra. Because this is the moment where Rendra must see it in a different way.

"Hi all. Just relax with me, we're the same age. Haha." Niko looked very awkward. Yeah, well, they don't go to school with him. It's strange that Niko was among them. Especially Nayla next to him. Like pairing it up, Inner Niko.

"Eh, how are things?" Nayla wanted to melt the atmosphere. Oh, so awkward!

"Well, how's Lo?" only Reyhan answered. Rendra seemed silent, enjoying a drink in his hand. Looks awkward with Nayla's arrival. Reyhan who already knew their relationship first so glanced at each other. Prestigious or what is this?

Reyhan nudged Rendra's arm. Do you understand that anyway? That's Nayla codes want nyapa scared.

"good too. How do you work at Ren's hospital?" asked Nayla, somewhat hesitating.

"Yes, just ordinary. Where do you work now?" ask Rendra. As a result, instead of melting even more awkward. Reyhan just tepok jidat because this conversation is just a joke and sounds strange.

What makes it even more awkward is, Nayla sekampus with Rendra. Follows Rendra who wants to be a doctor. Nayla could not deny that fact.

"I'm at xx hospital in the capital."

"Oh, congratulations." Rendra Memlir meant to pay. It doesn't feel good to look familiar with Nayla either. Rendra was afraid it would be a problem.

Nayla already has one, thought Rendra.

The show is half started. They seemed excited to talk here and there. Tells of their happy pasts at the same High School. I don't know what time this event will take place.

Their faces seemed happy to meet again like this. When can I meet an old friend?

But, Rendra's face did not look gloomy. From home, he was very enthusiastic. Here, he turned around the glass and looked at the drink non-stop. Reyhan and Kenzo just shrugged without understanding Rendra's current attitude.

"Gue know you are disappointed, but not that too baper times very. While the yellow...." Reyhan

"Can it be?" Rendra glares.

"Yes eelah. That's so Ren!"

"Aren't you officially engaged to Risya?" Kenzo

"Well! How's story? You can't it diem-diem not the same story as us?" Reyhan was interested and astonished.

"My parents set it up."

"Lo doesn't like Risya? Why?"

"...."

"Ah, why is diem bae? I want to pites!"

"Ren, from the beginning why not move on anyway? Wonder me. I remember it a long time ago too."

"Yes, like girls are just ex-lo doangs. There are many better ones too. Ah, you know you're weird!"

I don't know who here is weird. Me, my feelings, or my destiny. I've spent ten years forgetting about it. But all that happened was trauma and not wanting to be in a relationship. The only hope is Nayla who I want to fight for. It's too late now.

No woman wants to wait for the love of a loser like me. Why wait if I'm the one who hurts and avoids them. I'm really not lucky. Or I'm over-raising my own past problems. And now it hurts itself.
