What do you have in mind about the meaning of friends. Friendship is an emotional relationship between two or more people based on similarities in nature and character that can complement and love one another into an inner bond that closeness can be beyond brother. Hmmm or Friend is someone who is always beside us when we are happy, sad or upset? There are also those who say friends are everything to him, because friends are the only people who understand about our condition, about the secrets we have even some people who can fully sacrifice anything to please his best friend. That friend will always give color to our world. As experienced by five girls who have been in friendship since High School and they also entered the same college. After graduating from college, the five of them begin to enter different lives in their new world that is getting closer to their dreams.

Like Lila, the girl called Lala by her friends immediately realized her dream by opening a boutique after graduating from college. The most cute and feminine girl among his four best friends is traumatized in his love life. After being kept quiet by her ex-boyfriend, Lila finds it hard to trust her again. And now he surprisingly decided to date a long distance Indonesian guy named Kanza who works in Montreal Canada. Whether Lila could already let go of her trauma of loyalty.

Unlike Vira, the girl whose full name is Elvira is an ambitious and smart girl. With the value of kumlot achieved, now Vira managed to become PNS in a department with a brilliant career. And now Vira is restless because he wants to be paired with a man of his parents' choice.

Hmmm... It seems that in Tanya who the hell just straight life? She is Maike the Secretary. This girl called Mai is the luckiest girl in her life. At the end of last year he married the man of his dreams whom he was secretly courting, although the relationship had been in about all-out by his father who was famous very fierce. Now she is pregnant and living with her male idol.

The luckiest of the five in love is Ocha. Ocha has found her soulmate since she met Wendy in her first semester of college. But life is not always perfect, now the owner of the Event Organizer was restless because it has not been blessed with a child that he yearned after three years of marriage.

And the last is Amel, Employees of a Bank is famous for being very jutek among his four best friends. Now he is experiencing a sense of boredom with his girlfriend named Argo who has not dared to propose to him, and bring their relationship to the marriage level, even though they have been dating since High School.

The five of them are close friends who always spend their time on the sidelines of their respective activities to meet unwind, chat and gossip at the caf' Chocolates that have been loyal for almost two years become a comfortable place for them to visit.

Lila smiled as she saw a black sedan stopping in front of her boutique. Then he hastily picked up his bag and ran out of the Boutique towards the sedan.

'Hi.. Kok suddenly really did not meet Jeng, fortunately we all can come' said Lila as she climbed up and closed the car door.

Vira smiled and then he immediately plugged his car gas leaving Lila Boutique to caf' Coklat.

'Well, there they come' Maike shouted as he waved his hand at Lila and Vira.

'Yes.. geez Mai, are you pregnant again?' Kalem a little why said Ocha while shaking his head looking at Maike's behavior.

'From where the hell you two are, we've waited an hour here' asked Amel.

'Sorry Mel, the streets are jammed' Lila replied as she sat next to Maike.

'What the hell is it? In the afternoon we are told to gather, suddenly again' Tanya Ocha curious.

Vira nodded wide as she looked at her friends.

'Hi... What's the matter? Don't make people curious dong. Ahhh' said Amel.

'Hmmm.. Jeng-jeng all, three more months I want married' said Vira sumringah.

'What is true' cried Ocha while tightly hugging Vira.

'Wahhh.. Congratulations Ma'am, finally our PNS this one is married too' said Maike.

'Keep... continue, you want to be married to who is Vir? It's not like you're still single..' Ask Amel curious.

'Gue. hmmm, I want to be paired with my parents Mel' replied Vira with a smile.

'Keep loe agreed, ' Ask Amel again.

'Rather than me being a spinster? Later bother again' joked Vira while laughing out loud.

'What do you have to do to help you realize your dream Vir?' Ask Lila.

'Not bother, La' replied Vira.

'Hmmm... have bought souvenirs yet Vir, I can nganterin loe kok nyari souvenirs? Loe wants to find where to stay tell me the same. Want to go to Tanah Abang or we go to Mangga Dua?' obviously Maike.

'Yaaa.. Pardon Ma'am, you're pregnant again? Don't want what's the same that's soaring rich balloons in loe' said Lila with a laugh.

'All of you don't bother, all I want from you all, anyway you should and must come to my wedding with your respective partners' said Vira smiled.

'Okieee.' Shouted Ocha, Maike, and Amel compact.

Oops...., why isn't Lila screaming like everyone else this time? Yup.. heheheh it is because he feels far from his name partner. Lila was not as enthusiastic as the others. He felt lonely and began to appear when he had discussed about each other's partners. Actually, there are a lot of guys who are interested in the girl who berparas ayu and feminine. Then what is on Lila's mind now…

'Gue to the toilet first huh' said Lila as she got up from the sofa and left her friends.

'There is something wrong with me, right? Kok suddenly Lila suddenly wanted to go to the toilet with a sad face like that' Tanya Vira.

'He may be a bit offended or oversaturated when we talk about our partner' Amel replied.

'Lila's love, she's very sensitive if we talk about our respective partners' Maike said as he stroked her stomach.

'Actually her relationship with Kanza is how the hell' Tanya Amel curious.

'Where I know, he's less open with us about his relationship with a guy who's not clear of his existence' Ocha replied.

'How about Lila we find a mate' suggested Vira.

'Hmmm, maybe, what kind of guy is suitable for Lila' said Ocha.

Hahahaha..basic? This is the nature of girls when they are gathered. If one of them was not in place, they would have quickly talked about it. And this time it was Lila who was affected, because b''te and pretended to go to the toilet for a while. With lightning fast they discuss about his relationship with Kanza, a guy who has been knitting love for him for one year.

That afternoon Maike stopped by Lila Boutique after returning from her office. Maike gets Lila looking up at her phone so she doesn't know that Maike is right in front of her.

'Hi... Bengong! loe did not see these pregnant women standing in front of you' said Maike who disperse the reverie Lila.

'Hi.. kok tumben came home from the office stopped by my Boutique Mom', said Lila with a laugh.

'Gue made a pact with my husband here? May I.' Ask Maike.

'Yes..Pardon Mai, who am I rich anyway? Loe wants to wait or sleep in this Boutique can also answer Lila while hugging Maike.

'Ehhhh. Ma'am, Kanza reportedly how' Tanya Maike was curious.

'Well, last night he just called me, he said again winter there' Lila replied with a smile.

'Why do not you ever vacation there, kanya exclaim tuh on vacation as well as meet the idol of the heart' joked Maike.

'It's Mai, but there's no time yet Lila replied.

'Although deh.. La, if it is a matter of time anyway, loe's free time is more than me who works gini-rich office' said Maike with a smile.

'Gue tau... loe all had ngegossipin me right, in the caf' yesterday?' sindir Lila's.

'Yaa. iyah anyway we-we had discussed the relationship loe with Kanza that yesterday. Loe is sure La, if your relationship will be okay, you two are far away? Loe believes that Kanza will be loyal to you' Tanya Maike hesitated.

Lila nodded her head while smilingly looking at Maike. The two of them then chatted at Lila's desk.

Soon one of Lila's employees arrives and gives Lila a package box for her.

'Who is La from? Ask Maike's'.

'Hmmm. From Kanza' Lila replied while blushing in shame.

'Wow..Just the guy was talking, suddenly came a package from him' joked Maike laughed out loud.

'Ahhh... Loe can!' said Lila.

'Come... Let's open the spout? I'm curious said Maike.

Lila opened the box she was holding. Then he was surprised and his eyes immediately sparkled when he saw a beautiful Maron-colored dress in it.

'Wow... Is this the dress I saw on the catalog a week ago? This is expensive, Kanza tastes good too..., wahh romantic really? I became envious' Maike shouted while laughing.

Lila smiled looking at Maike, her heart was very happy even though it was far away but Kanza still had time to pay attention and buy something for her.

Two days later as usual on Friday afternoon they took the time to gather at the chocolate caf' after returning from the office. But this time only Amel, Ocha and Maike were present at the caf' while Vira had not yet appeared and Lila was still busy with her Boutique affairs.

'Tell time? Seriously loe Mai, Si Lila gets a Dress from Kanza' Tanya Ocha doesn't believe.

'Yaa.pardon your time don't believe me anyway Cha' said Maike as he looked at Ocha.

'Yay. I can imagine that Lila is very happy' said Amel.

'It looks like the relationship between the two of them is serious, lest they both want to marry again soon, Maike explained.

'With Kanza giving Lila that beautiful dress, you can already conclude that their relationship is serious?' Amel.

'Yaaa... Loe don't be too negative thinking as well Mel, we don't know what their relationship is like now? If I say it anyway, so far their relationship is fine. We haven't heard Lila complain lately about her relationship with Kanza' Ocha explained at length.

Hmmm. Again that afternoon Lila was a hot topic to talk about. Because Maike complained about the dress given by Kanza, Ocha and Amel had a chance to argue about the seriousness of his best friend's relationship. Meanwhile, the person who is still a hot topic is still in his shop waiting for the arrival of Vira who promised to come tonight.

'Children are today at the cafe' Vir, you didn't come there' asked Lila when Vira came.

'Lazy. ahhh' replied Vira indifferently.

'Lho why', said Lila as she noted her new clothes.

'Early also later end-talk about my marriage, I'm a bit lazy to talk about my marriage now' explained Vira.

'Lho.lho..lho.. prospective bride kok his face ketukkan seven anyway, rich napkin that has been demek, you know not…?' joked Lila while laughing.

Suddenly Vira cried while wiping her tears. Lila, who was busy, was surprised to see her best friend crying in front of her.

'Loe why Vir', asked Lila confused while hugging Vira.

'Gue... I don't want to marry her, La..?' vira said.

'Waduh.. Kok so gini, not yesterday you are just happy to marry. Hmm.. loe again stress times face wedding preparations loe?' Lila asked confusedly.

'Doesn't La, I don't want to be fooled? Boro-boro loves ma love? Know and meet the same people I've never been' explained Vira.

'So all this time you have not met a guy who wants to be in the same mate bonyok loe?' Ask Lila to panic.

Vira shook her head. Lila took a deep breath and tried to regulate the rhythm of her heartbeat to see Vira who seemed hysterical accept the reality she was about to experience.

Wow.. wow. wow. what experienced by Vira seemed so serious. It turned out that he did not like the match, but why yesterday Vira announced about her wedding plans so happily in front of her friends. Could it be just to make his friends happy or something else? it seems like at the moment Lila is the only one he trusts to help him. Meanwhile, Ocha, Amel and Maike are still busy discussing the relationship between Lila and Kanza in the chocolate cafe, though they do not know there is news that is more interesting and hot, which is about the match Vira who is not as smooth as they think.

Since that night Vira disappeared, she became very difficult to be contacted by friends, some think Vira may be busy with her work or was going out of the area as usual. But not for Lila, he became very panicked because he was the only one who knew exactly the circumstances experienced by the real Vira. Lila was afraid something happened to her best friend. Hmmm. lest Vira run away from her house or she recklessly committed suicide because she did not want to be in a match with her parents thought Lila in heart. Duh.. can be dizzy if this is the case, what should I do O Lord Ask Lila in her heart.

Not long after, Lila contacted Maike and invited him to meet at the chocolate cafe after returning from the office.

'What the hell is it, La? Kanya seriously loe' Tanya Maike face while sitting on the sofa when she reached the chocolate caf.

'Gue was confused.., Mai' Lila replied lethargic.

'Why, about Kanza?' Ask Maike.

Lila shook her head while looking at Maike.

'Then what dong, by the way me, who knows if I can help you' Maike said with a smile.

'Several days I have a hard time contacting Vira, I have called many times but not picked up, SMS is not bales, phone to his office does not exist… even until I Email also no news, ' explained Lila.

'Unfortunately loe there needs to be very similar to him' said Maike.

'Gue is worried about her Mai' Lila replied.

Maike seriously looked at Lila, hesitatingly telling her what she knew about Vira's problems.

'Lho... Oh my goodness, how could that be? Yesterday he had fun to be in the same mate bonyoknya' Tanya Maike curious.

'Hmmm.. I also don't understand the problem' replied Lila.

'Ohhh... I know maybe Vira again trying to entertain herself if soon she wants to marry or maybe she wants to make Amel jealous because it has been stabbed first? In fact, the Amel was already very eager to get married' explained Maike pretentious to know.

'How do dong go, I'm worried about Vira.. Mai?' Ask Lila.

'The heart problem cannot be lied to La? for example, I used to, even though Bokap I have tried to justify anything to separate me from Daniel. I still can't lose my heart. Is there only Daniel in this heart? Moreover, the Vira who is directly married is rich..his heart and feelings how tuh? What is clear is that the heart cannot be lied to. Hufh' Maike grumbled.

'We should meet Vira and talk about this, maybe she'll open up to us? Hopefully there's a good way out' Maike replied.

'Don't let him make the wrong decision. Vira has the right to refuse or accept her match, because it concerns her future, Lila explained with a smile.

Suddenly Maike waved her hand towards the entrance of the cafe, Lila quickly looked behind her. He saw Ocha smiling and walked up to them.

'Lho.. Ocha came here' Tanya Lila was confused.

'Sorry La..., I asked him to come here? Kirain I loe do not want to talk about serious things rich gini, sorry yaaaa. Peace' whispered Maike while lifting both fingers.

Lila took a deep breath and she tried to understand her old pregnant friend.

'Hi.. Loe has both been here a long time', Tanya Ocha while sitting next to Lila.

'Lumayanlah.' Maike replied as he sipped his drink.

'Aihhhh.. I've been with my doctor, not efficacious ahhh his nonsense' said Ocha annoyed.

'Why Cha' Tanya Lila.

'Want to change doctors? Hmmm.. Doctor Loe nice no Mai' Tanya Ocha.

'So.far is good, ' Maike replied.

'Know not.. I am already rich herbivore animals only now, every day all I eat touge.. touge continues, as long as you know aja, not morning, afternoon, afternoon, evening, even the night that I eat Touge, continue to snack made from touge I already embat all ranging from fried touge, fried touge, sweet touge even if I eat meatballs that many tuh tougenya in bandingin meatballs same noodles. But there was no result until now' Ocha grumbled poutily.

'Patience. Cha' entertain Maike.

'It's been three years Mai, I'm the same mas Wendy was healthy and normal' explained Ocha despair.

'Maybe not in love with God Kali Cha, continue if rich so you can what?' said Lila.

'Gue's not ashamed of his family, Wendy, La…? later they think I'm in trouble' replied Ocha.

Lila and Maike looked at Ocha who seemed worried about her condition.

'Am I participating in the tube baby program, yes, now it can make tube babies in Indonesia, so we do not need to bother to Singapore anymore. Hmm but Mas Wendy until now still do not agree with my idea' said Ocha.

'Patience first..Lah Cha, the baby tube is a big cost, you know? Later if you fail you are disappointed again' advice Maike.

Ocha looked resigned and then he took a deep breath.

'Ehhh... Amel has not come, yes, long time too son to his?' ocha said again, looking at the clock in his right hand.

'A.Amel wants to come here too' asked Lila while looking at Maike.

Maike shook his head.

'Gue who tells you how. if we want to gather here' replied Ocha relaxed.

'Tuh... who else in the talk came... hmmm long live him?' Maike.

Amel approached Lila, Maike and Ocha who were sitting casually in the corner of the caf' room'. Then with a frown Amel said.

'Huaaahhh.. if rich gini continues to mendingan I break up with the Argo?' yelled Amel annoyed.

'Lho... Why else these children come-come rich people possessed, do not loe... not Ocha come here make me stress aja, do not let me later lahiran here ya jeng?' cerocos Maike who was confused to see the behavior of Ocha and Amel.

'Loe's making a storm again with Argo... Mel?' Ask Ocha curious.

'Gue wonder about him, me and Argo have been dating for ten years? Time to ask me if he is still hesitant, I do not understand what is in his brain, explained Amel.

'Ehh!' maike protest when he saw his drink taken and gulped by Amel who still looks upset.

'Later..we can order again, Mai…!' whispered Lila while laughing at Maike's behavior.

'Argo instead of still having doubts about Mel, maybe he is not ready to get married' said Ocha sage.

'Ahhh. If not ready That's a cliche reason, I'm the same Argo will be quite independent. We can meet our needs, Amel replied.

'Yeah. Maybe he's not mentally ready yet' Lila explained.

'Keep until when should I wait for him to be ready La? one year, three years or wait until I'm old and wrinkled? I don't want to get married last among us' said Amel.

'Keep... How are you doing, mel? Calm down...is not you who married the last among us? There's still me' Lila replied with a smile.

'Emang Loe thought marriage was easy? It's hard to know' Maike said as he looked at Amel.

'Have... lah we discuss the other, dizzy me if it has been discussed about marriage?' lila motion.

'Yes.. bosen.. ahhh?' support Maike.

'Ehhh... La, I forgot this from yesterday I really wanted to say something like loe?' said Ocha.

'Speaking of which Cha' asked Lila while frowning.

'Gue has a boy friend, handsome, his job okay... He's looking for a girlfriend again? Yeah who knows if you're like him that way.' Goda Ocha while smiling looking at Lila.

'Lho... Do I have a boyfriend? Kanza wants me to be safe, ' replied Lila.

'Yaa. Loe dabble, jajal used to walk and befriend him. Who knows, connect clearly Ocha.

'Gue cheated dong her name' Lila said with a laugh.

'Loe don't be too loyal also La sama si Kanza, not necessarily also the Kanza loyal same loe there' said Amel.

'Lho... you mean what Mel?' Ask Lila who looks upset.

'Yaaa... I mean hmm... we think reality is La, once loe same relationship that one city can be cheated on? How are we doing with long distance relationships? another country, for me it's just a waste of time anyway. Today there are rarely loyal men, explained Amel at length.

'Lho... Loe how can you say rich is Mel? Speaking of loe already hurt I know no? It's up to me dong this is my life, why do you bother?' lila said annoyed.

Lila stood up from the couch and left Ocha, Maike and Amel. Ocha quickly chased after Lila who hurriedly stepped out of the caf'.

'Loe.. the hell did Mel make because of it? said Maike' while staring intently at Amel.

'Gue isn't just telling Mai the truth?' Replied Amel in self-defense.

'Honestly but do not let people know, if you again have a problem, do not swear your frustration to others dong? That's not good. Keep going now how... so messy, right?' Obviously Maike again.

'Sorry. deh' replied Amel bowed.

'If you want to apologize to Lila there? It's not the same I'm obviously Maike's upset.

Jiaahhhh what happened to the four friends this afternoon. Lila who was willing to exchange ideas with Maike even looks upset and went from the chocolate caf' because of the words of Amel. It seems that afternoon is not the right time to meet and gossip…

It had been two weeks since the incident in the afternoon that they had not met. Lila was still lazy to contact her friends, as well as Amel who seemed hesitant to contact Lila to just ask the news and apologize for her words yesterday. They also have not heard from Vira who is not sure where she is now. On Saturday afternoon, Ocha was in the hospital where the mother and daughter had been recommended by Maike for treatment, he met Maike who was lying on a wheeled bed being pushed by a nun and her husband. Ocha quickly approached her best friend.

'Lho... loe why Mai…?' Shouted Ocha in panic.

'Maike wants to give birth. Cha' replied Daniel Maike's husband.

'Mom..it's not that it's not time to give birth yet, Niel' asked Ocha again.

'Dad.. But suddenly Maike had continuous contractions' explained Daniel.

Maike was taken to the delivery room with Daniel. Meanwhile, Ocha waited outside, while hastily picking up his phone, and he immediately contacted Lila, Vira and Amel with anxious hearts. Two hours later Amel arrived at the hospital, he approached Ocha who was sitting alone.

'The baby is out. Cha' asked Amel.

'Not yet.' replied Ocha while shaking her head.

'Loe has linked Lila to Vira' Tanya Amel again.

'Hopefully the two of them can come' Ocha replied.

'Chaaa.' cried Lila as she ran towards Ocha.

'La. loe has come' Ocha said with a smile.

Lila smiled as she nodded her head. He was still lazy to say hello to Amel. Lila then chatted with Ocha on the sofa while Amel walked back and forth in front of the delivery room. Three hours later there was a sound of a baby crying from inside. Ocha, Lila and Amel could breathe a sigh of relief and give thanks. After Maike and her little baby were cleaned, the two of them were then moved into the treatment room on the third floor.

'Hi.. My beautiful aunts.' Sapa Maike while breastfeeding her baby daughter when she saw her three best friends come into the room.

'Congratulations, Mother' said Lila as she kissed Maike's cheek.

'Wahhh, we now have a nephew deh, I want to carry dong. So that nular' said Ocha.

'Congratulations.yaa Mai, loe's son is so cute' praised Amel.

Maike smiled at the three friends, then he looked at Lila and Amel who still looked stiff with each other.

'Aunt Lila and Aunt Amel are still alive? Ayooo.. Baikan dong, I am sad to squirm, just go nongol to the world ehh no more cold war' said Maike who imitated his voice like a child.

'Yahhh... nih is old also still playing angry aja rich little boy tau?' Ocha Canda.

'So crisp nih Cha the atmosphere.', Maike said again.

'Caring…? The reason is the fried beans, Mai' chirps Ocha.

Hearing the curse of Ocha tampa on purpose Lila and Amel laughed.

'Jiaahhhhh... have started to compact, are they both Cha?' sindir Maike laughed as well.

'Udahlah.. aja, pake timid all' joked Ocha again while blinking his eyes.

Amel and Lila looked at each other, then they smiled.

'Hmmm.. Sorry I ya La, yesterday my speech was very rude with loe' said Amel while looking at Lila.

'Daddy.. Mel, sorry also yesterday maybe I'm sensitive so pretentious lambek so deh' replied Lila while hugging Amel.

'Horeee.. Finally my aunt is better again' Maike said with a laugh.

Ocha smiled then she turned her gaze towards the door of the room.

'Vi... Viraaa…?' ocha shouted as she watched someone hesitantly enter Maike's room.

'Hi.. all..' said Vira with a smile.

'Yaa.. Forgive me, Vira.... Where are you going? I connected, I searched everywhere, still no news? I was worried to know.' Cerocos Lila when I saw Vira.

'Where the hell is Vir? ascetic in goa ya' said Amel while laughing.

'Hmmm... don't tell me you ran away from home because you changed your mind don't want to be in a match with Bonyok loe? Actually, you don't want to be in a matein... right? I already know all the problems that you experience Vir.' explained Maike.

'WHAT…?' Shouted Ocha and Amel shocked and confused.

'Maikeee…?' lila shouted while glaring at her eyes.

'Upsss.. so.. sorry, I forgot to mention?' maike shouted as he covered his mouth with his hands.

Lila patted her lid while Ocha and Amel hurriedly looked at Vira who was dumbstruck by Maike's very on-target words.

'Sorry. sorry' Maike said apologetically to Lila who was still looking at him.

'Ihhhh... So messed up, mouth can not be silent huh?' Lila's Whispe.

'Maklum Ma'am.. Too sentimental post lahiran' Maike replied with a shy smile.

Hahahahaha.this is their unique, no one can keep a secret safely, there must be someone who dismantles it. This time Maike who was confused said, because he was too enthusiastic to see the arrival of vira, he forgot if what was told by Lila was a secret for the two of them.Ic.ic (connected).
