Title: When Formerly a Friend

in story •  7 years ago 

All the goods had entered the trunk of the taxi that would take us to a city where we would devote ourselves for a month. Je, Riz, Lid and Arie have entered the taxi first and ready to depart.
'Dea !!! long time, hunt .. still want to come? There was a nervous scream from Nee standing at the door waiting for Dea. 'Yes .. yes bawel', said Dea who just appeared from behind the door, lifting a small suitcase in his hand. They immediately rushed to the taxi. 'Dea .. Dea .. do you want to move or want to do anyway? Bring so much stuff ', "Riz said with a laugh. Then followed by the noise of the other friends who had been waiting in the car. While Dea looks gloomy while taking the position of the remaining seats. There is no choice but to be in the middle between Arie and Nee. 'Everything is ready right? I'm sure there's nothing left behind. ' said the driver then. 'Yes sir already can leave', replied je. A taxi or a more familiar called Avanza-branded travel that was drove away from the courtyard of the green-painted house.

After traveling for about eight hours we finally arrived at the destination. A black Avanza that was stopped right in front of a house and there is also a cafe. The six of us got out of the taxi to be greeted by some relatives or relatives of Lid who had been confirmed earlier on our arrival. All the goods we took out of taxi and took him into the house. The first time we set foot in that small town, it was cold all over our six bodies. Brrr cold. 'And be ready for the next month haha' said Lid adding a scourge that seemed creepy for us all of us. We try to surrender when our bodies start to shiver. For the time being, we stayed there that night.
Je and Riz will live in their brother's home. That was the decision we heard the next day. Lid also planned so on the advice of his sister where we were staying. Stay me, Nee and Arie whose fate is hanging must nge-kost where moreover we are both immigrants do not know anyone here. But finally Lid decided to prefer our friendship rather than having to live with his brother better. We were finally able to place the boarding required for one month ahead.

'For a few days we eat aja fly', says Lid. That's what happened at the beginning of our nge-kost in connection with the absence of preparation of our provisions.

For the next day we planned to eat and drink together. Dea who usually do not like to cook, Lid is difficult to wake up, Arie who usually eat fast food should start adapting. 'Luckily there is chef Nee the savior for us hehe', said Lid melt the atmosphere of confusion. 'Delicious aja but the origin of the payday is not quite what', said Nee then. Then we share tasks such as: cooking, dishwashing, sweeping, mopping and others. Then collect the money, also promised to help each other, hard to be happy together. Starting from that morning Nee who volunteered to cook for us, Lid who tried to get up earlier than usual had to clean up the house. While Arie is the only people who are adam kos kos is still delicious. Je and Riz also often come to kosan after returning from our school of service. They make the atmosphere more crowded in kosan. But when the sound of the call to prayer, they had to return to the house where they were staying. Just stay Dea, Lid, Nee and Arie through the night while fixing the preparation materials for the practice of service at school tomorrow.

Two weeks later time does not always go smoothly. Our sixth friendship began to be tested. Jef and Riz started rarely coming to our booth. Nee and Lid are having trouble with Arie. When I just woke up there was a voice from Nee. He is upset with Arie it seems like they just have a problem. Likewise with Lid. This is the risk that some people of different characters live on the same roof. Any small problem could be a long story. Begin our character or character each out the original.

The atmosphere a few days later was even more different from before. Nee and Lid seem to have no communication with Arie. I who have no problem with them can only stay confused and do not want to interfere. After I tried to melt the atmosphere but my effort was in vain to reconcile them. The situation is still heating up between them.

This morning we did not have breakfast. The gas we run out did not have time to fill it. So for breakfast and lunch later to be their respective affair. The sentence was delivered by Nee before we left for school.

That afternoon I was in a restaurant. As we sat waiting for the order, a baby turned our attention. She's cute, cute, petite, adorable and her hair is kriwil-kriwil. The little one laughed happily and smiled pleasantly seductively since then to Arie who sat not far from me. The father who was carrying her smile. 'His son is funny sir sir ..', Arie replied later. 'The little ones already know that cute saucy ya,' said the father while gently pinching the baby's cheek. Then make the atmosphere so crowded with our laughing voice.

Soon the mother who became our order chef came with our packets of food. 'wah .. wah .. rame nih no fuck ya?', said the mother with two plastic bags carrying our order. then the father explained the matter to the mother. The mother laughed too.

'By the way are you brothers and sisters?', Said the father. While smiling and know the intent of the question of Mr. Arie also replied, 'ah gak kok sir'. 'childhood anyway, but your face really looks like loh', added the mother again. Indeed that's the thing that we often experience together with Arie. Often people think we are both sisters but not really. We're used to this and we're getting used to it. Not even a few people we met call us a mate.

After getting two plastic bags containing our bakmie order, we went back to the house because our worm rebelled impatiently because of hunger.

Nee and Lid are looking for food together. Lately the situation is getting worse, the three of them are still not well. Our activities are separate. Usually we always go to a place of service together, now I must always go first with Arie. Arie invites me to leave, while Lid and Nee always tell me to leave first with Arie. They do not want to go the same there is always a reason they dodge.
'All right .. I go first. You're quick to come yes, "I said after smoothing my blazer in front of the mirror while carrying my bag.
When meeting Je and Riz they seem to have misunderstood with our togetherness lately.

'Ehm .. ehm .. it seems there is CLBK ya !!', said Je started the conversation one morning when we just got in the school yard.
'Yeah ya .. do not say it. Since when rie, dea? ', Added Riz adds to the chaotic atmosphere. Me and Arie briefly just looked at each other and confused. That's not how. Not to mention the people around us started gossiping and misunderstanding with our closeness. Plus the night of the week. I had a big fight with Juno. Juno gets mad when I know I'm out until after twelve o'clock at night with Arie. Yet when I was there was a task to be accomplished that night. Tomorrow morning must be finished and ready to be presented at a seminar. Nothing can help me apart from Arie. When I need help Arie is always there and ready to help me. I felt I owe him a debt. But why so invite other responses from people.

Arie who is in trouble with Nee and Lid and me who always need help Arie automatically make us be close. Two people who are always close, move together, help each other when it takes is not it reasonable to be called a friend? But whatever the other person says.
Even though I've tried to explain the real situation to everyone I still can not stop their arguments.

'Juno, listen to me. That night I was with Arie until past 12 o'clock. But that's because I have a job. And next time I was always with him but because the situation in kosan was a problem and we had nothing to do anymore. believe me '. Maybe until my mouth was foaming he did not seem to believe it. 'God what should I do in this situation?', I thought. 'The problem is not just that Dea. He's not just your best friend but he's your ex too. Maybe you said there was nothing to do with him. And you also say you have no more sense to him. But what can you guarantee with his feelings. How about if you togetherness to grow a sense of back in his heart? Anything can happen Dea. I do not want to lose you ', said Juno. His words made me think. 'Is it wrong that a pair of ex-human beings should not be friends?' while others do not really care about us. Even Juno though because at this time he is not there beside me. He was far away and did not see my situation.

Finally after our month-long service in the city, we returned to the city where we were supposed to be. The atmosphere between us all especially Arie, Nee and Lid is pretty melt. But still the perception of people about me and Arie become a burden in my mind. On campus the lecture atmosphere went as usual. I tried to get away from him when I saw him face to face. In fact I always refuse help even when I need it from him. I do not know what he thinks after that. He may be surprised and confused by your changed attitude. It's as if I like peanuts that forget their skin but sorry Arie I have to do for our good.
