Arzel's Lies

Arriving at Arzel's house they were really surprised the situation of his best friend's house was very quiet. In stark contrast to what Arzel told me, about his cheerful family. Indeed they have never gone to the house of Arzel for 1 year friendly, because Arzel always there is just a reason to refuse his friends come to his house.

"This is Arzel's house?" ask Kafka.

"More like an uninhabited house" said Yora.

"True, too quiet." Azam said.

"This must be Arzel's house, because the bike is here" Nathan said as he pointed to Arzel's motorbike parked in the yard.

The six of them without permission went straight into Arzel's house because the main door was left open just like that. Just entering the living room came the voice of the woman who begged Arzel not to hurt herself.

"Den, open the door. Aden why else? Den, don't do that again den! Aden! Den Arzel!"

It looks like the woman is a housekeeper.

"Come aboard." take Kafka.

They immediately ran up, towards the source of the sound. They were in front of Arzel's room.

"Who are you?!" ask the woman.

"We're Arzel's friend, is he inside?" ask Nathan.

The woman nodded. "Please persuade den Arzel to come out. He will hurt himself again" said the woman who is the housekeeper.

Doc dok dok doc! Kafka knocked on Arzel's room door hard. "Open door! It's us!" shout Kafka.

"Don't bego Zel!" Azam was screaming.

"Arzel!! Open door!" shouted Nathan.

"Both together!" yohan.

The cold guy came forward and immediately kicked the door of Arzel's room hard until it opened wide. Arzel who was holding a razor was slashing his wrist.

Seeing that Kafka immediately ran to Arzel, and snatched the razor held by his best friend. Followed by his other friends.

"Well, are you crazy, huh?!" kafka snapped while throwing the razor in any direction.

"Gue is tired" said Arzel.

"Dead it if it is." - Ceplos Yohan.

"Nijer! It's not sane Lo!" sahut Yora while shaking Yohan's head.

"Lo what's the problem? The story! Don't admit to stupid things like gini." said Kafka while sticking his shirt to Arzel's wrist so that his blood immediately stopped coming out.

"Here I treat" said Hazel, who was carrying a medicine box.

Kafka helped Arzel sit on the bed, the boy's gaze was so empty. Now they all saw the most fragile side of a cheerful Arzel.

"My mom is divorced. Mama married again 6 months ago. Papa plays with prostitutes in the bar. Even he did not hesitate to bring the women home." said Arzel blankly. Suddenly his hand moved to reveal his sleeve up to the elbow. Looks like a circular burn scar like a mark on the sting using a cigarette.

"This is what I do when I fight" said Arzel.

"But Lo can't hug yourself like Zel's gini" said Azam.

After Hazel finishes treating Arzel's wounds, she gives her best friend a sedative so that Arzel can sleep well. Before returning home, they told the security guard and his housekeeper to stand guard in Arzel's room, fearing that his best friend would hurt himself again.

After Arzel's house, Kafka did not go home. The guy sits in the park accompanied by Yohan. They just sat quietly dissolved in each other's minds.

Kafka still couldn't believe what he had just seen. His friend who always smiled cheerfully turned out to have such a heavy family problem. All this time the smile on her lips was a mask to cover everything up. All this time the story of his cheerful family is a mere lie to cover up the actual circumstances.

But he didn't realize that he himself was like that. He also used a smile as a mask to cover up his problems. He unwittingly lies to himself by saying he's okay. The problems in his life were also severe.

"How much do I not know about you?" kafka muttered while with a glaring gaze deep into the sky.

Yohan who heard that glanced at Kafka who was beside her. Honestly, he was also surprised to see Arzel's condition. True what Kafka said just now, for a year of friendship it turns out there are still many that they do not know or each other. Especially about Kafka, this guy next to her.

Drrtt. drrtt. suddenly Yohan's phone vibrates.

"...."

"Hm." replied Yohan briefly.

After hanging up the phone, Yohan suddenly stood up and said something to Kafka. "Papa Lo, tomorrow morning arrive at the airport" said Yohan.

Kafka immediately heard it. "Lo didn't lie, did he?" ask Kafka.

Yohan shook her head. Why is he lying? There is no benefit to himself either.

Not that it was nice to meet his father, but Kafka's face looked doubtful and unsure. He was worried about having to see his father or not, especially if his father now had a family. Yes, Kafka still has the nature of a Vadya who does not want to hurt others even though he himself must feel pain.

"Did I not have to see you?" ask Kafka.

Yohan frowned.

"No, I mean. Papa has a wife and children. What if they know you already have another child that is me?' ask Kafka again.

Yohan sighed. "It's fine, but don't be too good" Yohan said as she shook Kafka's head.

"What's wrong? I'm just trying to look at it from another point of view." Kafka asked innocently.

Seriously, it was wanting to feel like the moment Yohan floated a raw bogem onto the innocent face of a Kafka. He was not exhausted with the mindset of Kafka, but himself was also hurt by his father who abandoned him. But he was still worried about how his father's family felt when he knew where he was. There could be a human being this good.

"For example there is my choice or Lo one must jump into the ravine so that the other one survived Lo want to jump that?" asked Yohan in annoyance.

Kafka laughed at the question Yohan had just asked. It's not usually this cold guy to throw in a qualityless question like this. But Kafka still answered the question.

"of course. If I jump into the abyss I will not die. Mostly just moving nature. Later on there I can meet my mother with my mother." replied Kafka with a small laugh.

Deg. Instantly Yohan's heart was beating fast. There was a sense of unwillingness to hear Kafka say such a thing. Kafka said such a thing as if he was joking, even though the meaning of his words was very deep.

"Just jump" Yohan said in her heart.

Yeah, that's Yohan. Even though Yohan has a stiff nature. Her tender heart hated the fact people came and went. Rather than someone leaving her, it was better for her to leave that person.
