Ayrisa And Her Story
Ayrisa²⁶ - Her Friends

A few months have passed. Ayrisa just passed the final semester exam, as well as the last exam in the 11th grade, last week. Mia often comes to her house to study together, but not with Gana. Gana and the others were certainly busy applying for college after their final exams. So, Mia is escorted by her driver or occasionally use the services of an online motorcycle taxi.

This weekend there will be a share of their reports. It would be a lie to say that Ayrisa does not expect to win the class again. It was one way to boast of both of his parents. Yes, although it is okay if the value is down later. It's all written in the book of destiny, isn't it?

"Hey, Ay! Wondering what until it's not a bell that's up."

Ayrisa's body was slightly jolted as Mia patted her shoulder slowly. He shook little. "There's nothing, really. Just another daydreaming."

"There are lo. Yuk, home!" Ayrisa nodded and immediately put on her bag.

Once in the lobby, they could see Gana and the others waiting at the parking lot as usual. Are they done with the campus? The question came to Ayrisa's mind, inviting a frown on her forehead.

"Well, are the others done with it?" Ayris asked Mia.

"Every night Gana said it was, even though Kak Viran and Kak Alnan are different campuses the same as them."

Ayrisa was already about to follow in Mia's footsteps to approach them, but the voice of Inspiration calling out to her made the girl stop her steps. Ilham and Farzi are in the teacher's parking lot on the other side.

"Mi, I went there first huh," Ayrisa said as she pointed towards Ilham and Farzi. It has also been a long time since he just talked with his two friends since that Junior High.

"Yeah, it's just there anyway."

After that Ayrisa immediately continued her steps towards the place of Ilham and Farzi.

"Lo now plays the same as them, yes" said Ilham while moving his chin to point towards Gana and others.

"They're friends with Mia, so they must also be friends with dong" Ayrisa replied.

"Oh, yes. What is Reylin there now?" Farzi asked.

"Hum, he said he had also finished the exam. Abis chatan's new night."

As Ayrisa conversed with Ilham and Farzi again, Gana and the others stared curiously. Because, while with Ayrisa, they did not know that the girl had a male friend.

"They, really, look very familiar." Oska.

"Who are the two, boss?"

"Oh, Farzi is equally inspiring if I don't remember wrongly. They've been Ayri's friends since Junior High."

Aspen, who had not made a sound, silently looked intently at the two men he knew as Ayrisa's friend. Her heart was hot to see Ayrisa who was chatting casually with the two people. When they are with him, they only have a short conversation.

From the direction of the lobby, it looks like basketball children who look to go home after playing regularly when they come home from school and practice. They also seem to be throwing balls at each other. Until when one of them threw too far, the ball soared to where Ayrisa was sitting.

Aspen, who saw him, stood up and was about to run to block the ball. However, just moving from her seat, Ayrisa was already protected by Ilham who stood nearby. The man stretched his hand to block the basketball.

"Lo on the real play dong, if it takes me temen I will be berabe," said Ilham.

"Yeah, sorry. Not intentionally," one of them replied.

"Thank you, Ham." Ayrisa said after the basketball children passed.

"Tumben your old invitation" said Farzi after seeing his watch.

"Not the collision yes, sometimes also long gini, really."

"Ay, it's your birthday that yesterday we didn't get a treaty, nih. Which this time times two yes," said Ilham with a stern look.

"Yes, yes, but don't go bankrupt." Despite shaking her head, Ayrisa still agreed.

"Yes, it's the pizza party later." Farzi made a proposal.

"Yes, pizza party. I'll wait for ya." Inspiration chimed in.

"Yes, yes, if it's a splinter."

"Ay, Mother you have come, tuh," said Ilham.

"Oh, if that's me first. Hye!" Before approaching the bundanya Ayrisa did not forget to say goodbye to Mia and the others.

"Patience, As, you're not who Ayrisa is." Alnan patted Aspen's shoulder slowly. Although the sentence was like being advised, in fact he mocked Aspen.

Who is a nobody has no rights.

"Gue unplug first." The man wearing a white T-shirt wrapped in a black jacket stepped away from his friends. No longer paying attention to their calls. Aspen really did not like to see Ayrisa close to other men. However, Alnan's words slapped him with a stifling reality. He wanted to go home soon, to collect the words of the mother who said he would give help when Aspen needed it when it came to Ayrisa.

...··...

Now Ayrisa is with Mia in a small park on the side of the field. They were eating a chocolate cake brought by Mama Mia while waiting for the completion of the report card division. On the field there are some students who still place small basketball matches. The sixteen-year-old girl who was now wearing a white blouse and a floral patterned knee-length black skirt looked at Mia who was sitting opposite her.

"Mia is beautiful" he said in his thoughts.

"It could be lo, Ay. There are many times more beautiful than me."

"It was the fourth place beautiful woman in the eyes of I know you." Ayrisa. "First it was Mother, second mother, third Sister Nura. Yes, although Kak Nura often looks flat on his face. Keep Mia the fourth."

"Support me, Ay." Mia chuckles, not thinking about her friend.

"Hey, Ay!"

The greeting distracted both of them. There was a man walking towards them. Ayrisa knows him, Fathan.

"Oh, hi!" Finally Ayrisa replied awkwardly. They had only been in the same class during orientation, during this time Reylin who became a liaison to create a chat if they cross paths. So, it felt a little awkward when talking to each other back.

"Reylin where are you? I never saw him again."

"You don't know? Reylin's been moving since the beginning of the eleventh grade."

The man reflexively raises one of his eyebrows, his habit when not believing in the speech of his interlocutor. "Where to go?" tanyakanya.

"Out of town anyway."

"Keep him your new friend?" Fathan asked to be sure while staring at Mia at a glance.

"Yes, her name is Mia." Ayrisa. "Don't like it, because there is already a shop," he added full of jokes.

In her silence, Mia slightly digested the side of Ayrisa that recently appeared when she was with her male friend. The girl seemed very open and freer on them. He felt a little overwhelmed because he thought that Ayrisa had not fully felt the friendship with himself and others.

"What's mermaid?"

Mia raised her face to look at Ayrisa. He did not realize that he was busy with his thoughts.

"Eh, where were you just? No, there is no."

"Yes, because you daydreamed you didn't realize that Fathan was gone." Ayrisa smiled amusedly looking at Mia. "Udah yuk, go to class. The cake is over, too."

Not directly following in the footsteps of Ayrisa who had risen from her seat. Mia was still silent in her place. "Well, you thought I was the other guy, right?" The question suddenly came from Mia's lips. He looked at Ayrisa inside.

"Yes, you have become my friend" Ayrisa replied confidently.

There was a moment of silence between the two of them. Before finally Mia sighed softly and gave a smile to Ayrisa.

"Gue was horrified," said Mia as she got up and grabbed Ayrisa's hand. He pulled Ayrisa's hand slowly to get up from there.

Arriving in their class, along with the exit of Dara and Alana—mama Mia.

"Your grades go up, Mama's proud. A good circle of friends does have a good impact as well" Alana said when her daughter was standing in front of her.

"Yes, Ma." Mia replied briefly.

"Thank you, Ayrisa, for helping Mia after her move here." Alana appealed while giving her best warm smile to Ayrisa.

"Yes, Auntie, good to help."

"What if we make a small celebration. Think also as my gratitude," Alana bargained with the mother and child in front of her.

"Ah, sorry, Ayrisa's father is waiting. Maybe next time." Dara rejected it subtly, feeling bad but couldn't accept it either. The husband and son had ordered to go home immediately after the report card division.

"It's okay, I'll make sure next time we can do it" Alana replied. "We'll say it first."

Ayrisa and Mia threw words to each other until the next day.

"Mama Mia looked very firm, Bun. A little nereminous," Ayrisa said in a whispering tone.

"You want Mommy to be firm too?"

"Mothers who can, again angry at the ends laugh together." Ayris laughed at him thinking about it.
