Why ?

Just friends

Happiness is not when we are at our destination.^^^

^^^But, it could have been when we were still on our way.^^^

....o0....

The next day....

"Gres!" His call while speeding up his steps to align with the girl in front of him now.

"What?" His reply without caring yelled the annoying man behind him who was not tired of continuing to call his name from earlier.

"This is no longer the name of the streets! Lo speed tau!" annoyed the man while continuing to babble.

"Sean, we even have two different legs. If you can't call my step, yes it's the right way and as much as you can!" upset the girl.

"What's the plan anyway?" The man grumbled as he continued to walk hand in hand with the girl in front of him.

"Gue again sprain! Don't add to my emotions!" the sarcasm.

"I'm sorry why? Gegara the Mark again?" he said without guilt.

"What else is trying to upset me? I wonder the same you, my people just have the same story as a child. Lah lo her came messing things up. I'm not happy with Sean!" ketus Gres in the end.

"That's right! You just think about the feeling of the boy, while the feeling I don't you think," annoyed Sean.

"Where am I acting cake to lo. If it turns out to be the cause of your own commotion!" pissed Gres.

"Set me just give him a warning to not get too close to you!" The answer is confidence.

"Continue?" Shouted Gres in the end.

"Yes, I continue to meet him and I'll see you talk to the boy" he replied as if.

"He's not Sean's boy!" gres sela.

"Yes, he's still broken" Sean said.

"Now I ask you. Why do you also commemorate him to not be close to me? You forgot he's my friend!" gres resolute.

"Yes. I don't like it. He's close to you" replied Sean.

"Dislike it for what? Because what try? He's not bad, not bad for me either! I know what's good and what's not good!" gres.

"Where to know! I'm free too!" sean is weakened.

"How can I understand, while you try to keep me away from my own friends try. You want me to have no friends and not mingle?" ask Gres.

"It's not. But, he likes you too!" Sean said in the end.

"Huh? Good dong many who like me, so no need to be afraid if they bother me right!" Gres was astonished by the complicated man before him right now.

"And that's the problem!" Firm Sean.

"It's not wrong that he likes me. That's his right. Now the problem is that you behave like that if you forget!" Gres was upset.

"Yes, I just want to protect you from people like him," said Sean.

"He's not Sean's mafia gang! He's good with me! Why do you try so hard? I'm not worried, you know. He even connect the person," said Gres in disbelief and do not understand anymore with the human in front of him now.

"Yes it's up to you now, want to be the same boy also gapapa. Just meet him again," said Sean emotionally and disappointed because the girl in front of him is now stubborn and insensitive to his treatment so far.

"How dare I see him again now. You guys have snapped the child in front of me, even my country anyway!" gres said annoyed.

"Yes, you have asked to take him to your apartment, invite him to eat or something as an apology lo. If you need a date, both of you!" sean said cynically.

"Lo's nerves? That's what you say now! Long time annoyed you know not!" gres sarcasm.

"Gue is who, you can forbid.

Sorry I can't understand you!" Sean almost left but stopped hearing Gres' last word.

"My life is not just about you! I still have other activities, I still have other friends, I still have acquaintances and also many more. If you behave so will make me ask your position in my life. You are ready me, who can you chat all you want! We are friends like Mark, Justin or Joana. None of you are special to me. Everything is the same, so please do not be kink gini. I'm confused!" Gres said at length staring at Sean who did not even turn his head anymore instead continued his steps leaving him alone in the city park.

Sometimes for feelings, there would be no human being who could understand well. There may be some people who try to understand but do not understand. There are also those who have understood but even try to consider it never existed and ordinary. Some even try not to care at all but he has to face it with a little roomy when he knows the truth.

So, blame it if there are still people who do not understand well when you are on the edge of handing over and want to give up?

The same is true for someone who is sitting with still in control of resentment and do not accept that the person he really likes can not understand his feelings well.

In fact, he just didn't realize that he wasn't trying harder to be honest about his taste. As I said before, there will be people who really cannot understand if they have not seen and felt the truth.

It seems like he has to put his ego a little bit aside. Because the truth is sometimes if we hope that the life of the person we like should revolve only about us then we will become a little selfish.

Consciously or not, in fact, the life of a person is also not just about us. There is still his daily life, his family, his friends, or even many more things that become his talok measure in living life. Sometimes people living life have their own boundaries to keep going and trying in many ways.

It's been a few days since he and Gres broke up. To this day, he had not even met her or was one of them choosing to give up. However, willing to give in if in the end Gres alone does not know how Sean feels about him. He might just assume that he and Sean are a little childish because it has been too long near natural if there is a misunderstanding.

"Even he didn't look for me, though," he said weakly given that he hadn't seen each other for days even though they lived in the same building.

While at the same time....

The girl was sitting in a park chair beside the road enjoying a chocolate-colored drink in a small cup of hers while looking at people passing by and vehicles that did not forget to mix in ahead of him.

He was right next to the intersection of the city road with several other people sitting on different benches around him while doing their respective activities.

From a place not a little far away, the man smiled while monitoring the activities that the girl was doing, the way he looked at some people who passed by, the way he looked at some people who passed by, the vehicle that passed even when he slightly breathed a sigh of relief did not escape his sight from across the street.

He also broke the road when the traffic lights turned red sign pedestrians can cross.

"The afternoon atmosphere on the side of the road is also comfortable to enjoy alone" said Mark who had taken his place at the end of the bench where he sat.

"Eh! Mark!" is!" exclaims Gres enthusiasm and a little surprised.

"Haii!" Sapa Mark smiled in response to Gres's call.

" Have you seen me for a long time, how are you?" gres asked in shock at the figure beside him who was looking at the streets as well.

"Hm, just a few days ago also did not meet! Okay, how are you?" mark smiled.

"Yes, I'm good!" Gres looked at her with a warm smile

"Half alone? Why didn't I reply to my message a few days ago?" Mark said while looking at her with a smile.

"Ah, that's me a little bad lo, we ended up less good in the meeting a few days ago. That makes me a little uncomfortable and not fun! Sorry yes!" said Gres lowered his head as his finger tapped on his brown coffee which still contained half a glass.

"Father. You're not wrong, maybe he's trying to keep you from strangers who are close to you," replied Mark as he stroked the soft tip of his head.

"Yes. Anyway, he shouldn't be acting like that. He also knows we're classmates" grumbled Gres.

"So you feel guilty about that?" search Mark while looking at him.

"hey are. The cave guy is not good, again sorry! I never pass the same breath on campus, you are also rarely seen so you do not have time to apologize," said Gres.

"Yes already. As your apology, may I not ask for your coffee, I want to drink coffee while looking at the streets, time!" exclaimed Mark looked at him questioningly while glancing at the coffee he was holding.

"But this is what I bought him. I also drink this. What if you wait here, I order again?" Gres asked badly.

"The night rush if you get a new message. Don't look again at the long ngantri who want to buy!" said Mark glanced at the long queue at the tavern.

"Let me order online!" Gres said expectantly.

"This is aja. If you still want to drink later I sisain," said Mark who had taken over the coffee glass in his hand and had even sipped through a straw used Gres just now.

"But that's my ex!" gres is not good.

"Fuck! Lo still want to? Joing is a gap, right?" Mark smiled warmly.

"So. Make it lo aja," said Gres in the end while staring at the figure beside him now who is enjoying his coffee and focus on staring at the streets.

"Regularly see it. I'm a handsome one, right?" god Mark chuckled.

"Ah, not really. No more seeing," exclaimed Gres kegep continued as he stared at the figure.

"Gres! Can I have it?" mark looked at her.

"May," replied Gres who stared back at him as well.

"Hm, Sean's your boyfriend, huh?" ask Mark a little carefully.

"Huh. No, we're just friends like lo, just the difference he's never met or often met me while still in Indo!" gres answered while looking at the streets.

"It just so happens that we're neighbors in the place where I live. At first, I was surprised that he was the same as me. Until we finally get out. That's it, anyway," said Gres.

"That means you're the same Sean has nothing to do dong?" Search Mark.

"Hm, I'm also surprised he's always been so to you before. He did not mention I once told Sean to take care of me, but even that I was ordinary. Most of my life is not surrounded by a lot of bad people. I was yesterday until the bacot fight with him. For example, I say that, if you are not a mafia gang that needs to be feared, heheh-" Gres said cut off.

"Until you talk to him. Wow, you guys are so funny to swear. I didn't hear it" said Mark.

"Yes, he's done it. I haven't even gotten better with him until today" said Gres, feeling guilty about letting Sean leave without apologizing to him.

"Seriously that's the problem. I don't have that problem, you have to be better with him. He is also so because he wants to keep lo doang, let alone you friends of the time to the extent," said Mark did not believe.

"Yes. I'll see you later to apologize" said Gres.

"Udah afternoon. Go yuk! I'm anter," asked Mark who had pulled Gres' hand without waiting for Gres to answer his question.

Arriving at the Gres apartment complex....

"Gres. You have to be better than Sean. Do not often walk alone, occasionally invite me too, let's coffee together, heheh. See you at the college! I'm back!" Said Mark scrambling Gres' hair slowly and went away from the place.

While the incident did not escape the sight of someone who was standing in the parking lot of their apartment building while staring with a flat gaze at the two figures in front of him.
