EX (SHACKLE OF FIRST LOVE)
2. Friend's urging

After the toilet, Sky did not rejoin his friends at the hotel's Ballroom. He chose to leave the area. Stand around the hotel pool and light his cigarette.

Shhc ....

It breathes cigarette smoke in any direction. His mind was suddenly muddled from meeting with Yara.

He was actually looking forward to this moment. Meeting back with his first love during High School. She hopes to meet Yara today. Her hopes were granted, but Yara's status upset her on her own.

The girl he used to love, had been possessed by someone else in a different status. Marrying.

Yara is married.

Damned!

His phone rang, it was a call from Ilyas, one of his high school friends, who was sitting at a table with him inside.

Maybe Ilyas is still in the ballroom. But, what did that man call her for? Does anyone realize that he hasn't returned to where he was?

"Where are you, Sky?"

"Why, Yas?"

"Quick back here, all in the discussion of family gathering event want to go to Bali."

"Yes, continue."

"Lu didn't come back here? No fun, ah!"

"Yes, I'll go back there."

With a huff, he returned the flat object into the pants of the material he was wearing, turned off the cigarette and threw his butt into the trash.

When he re-entered the ballroom, apparently the girl who had become a woman owned by another man put her face and looked at him.

In a hurry he looked away, pretending never to meet the eye. It's nothing, her heart and heart are hard to control when it comes to Yara. Long ago, even today.

It doesn't matter that they've been separated for a long time.

Precisely never met for 11 years made him miss the figure even more, along with all the memories of juvenile delinquency they had done. Long ago.

"Look!" Ilyas called out to him.

He immediately walked to the table and reoccupied his place. The decision on family gathering is final. Fix, they all agreed to go to Bali. Even the name of the donor for various activities on the island of the Gods has been recorded completely, he said.

"Lu wants to be a donor too, Sky?" chirps Ilyas. The man did talk more than Rico or his other male friends.

"May," he answered, shaking his shoulders. "Dana for what is lacking?" tanyakanya.

"Transportation is the same meal already, anyway.who knows you want to pay the cost of lodging and other unexpected costs," Ilyas jokes.

"May," he answered calmly.

"Seriously you, Bro? Not a little of this. 40 people, man. Many bring family too."

"Yes, I can." He never messes around in the conversation, especially when it comes to the interests of the crowd.

"May I keep you, mah!" Rico who heard, chimed in.

He just smiled a little. Simultaneously his eyes accidentally caught the figure of a woman in black dress with hair in a ponytail. Yara's. The woman looked insecure today. Either his eyes were misjudging, but Yara did look different. Not that she was not beautiful anymore, but she did not look as beautiful as she used to be.

"Are you happy with your marriage?" I don't know why that question crossed his mind.

At once he shook his head. Trying to break down the things that occupy the mind. Because, if it's a negative thing - he's afraid he'll again ruin his mood that's not too good today.

"Who would like to join Dian, yes!" The voice of Jacob who turned into an impromptu MC did not escape his hearing.

He looked at Diandra, apparently the girl was talking to Yara.

Will Yara be attending this event? With her husband too? Ah ... sia-lan. Why is he upset. In fact, he had tried to throw away the negative things that possessed the mind, but still!

****

The meeting with Sky a few days ago kept Yara thinking. Either his judgment was wrong, but the look in the man's eyes while looking at him was still the same as before.

"Ah, why else think of him? Everything is not the same as before. I am also married. I think I should start acting normal." Yara is encouraging. How could a Sky Lazuardi still remember him. The man looked more charismatic and more mature, his good looks also increased many times over. The news that Yara heard, Sky has also become a reliable and famous Architect.

"Yara?"

"Sorry, permission to ask, is Yara home?"

Faintly Yara heard someone calling her name from outside the house. It seems that someone also asked about his whereabouts-whether to whom.

Yara decided to put down the duster she was holding. Then walk slowly towards the terrace. Who would visit his rented house in the afternoon like this.

When Yara arrived at the doorstep, it was the voice of Diandra and Rina who were talking to her next door neighbor.

"Eh, you guys?" Yara was quite surprised by the arrival of her High School friend. The woman put on a small smile.

"By!"

"Come in, yuk!" bring Yara.

The two Yara friends entered the house, after they had previously thanked Yara's neighbors whom they had asked earlier.

"Let's sit down, what do you want to drink, all right?" welcome Yara kindly.

"Don't bother. We're here to have your mastiin come or not to the family gathering later, Ra." Diandra started to open the conversation.

Yara lowered her head while memi-lin the edge of her shirt. "I'm not coming, sorry."

"Well...." Diandra and Rina let out a disappointed sigh.

"Why? Your husband doesn't give you permission, does he? It's not like the event at the hotel he already gave you permission."

"No, Mas Juna ngizinin, really."

"Continue?"

"But Mas Juna works, I can't go without him."

"Yes, if your husband is okay, why not? We don't have to leave forever with our husband, Ra. There are times when we also need me time or the same ten-men." Lina provoked Yara with her thoughts.

"You're good to say that, you're still girls, not like me."

"But that's real, Ra!" Diandra agreed with the words that Rina had said.

Yara is confused by her friends' calls. Is he honest that he has no money?

"There's actually another obstacle...." Yara wants to be straightforward. It was better, he thought.

"What?" Rina and Diandra said in unison.

"I don't have any money. Just paid the rent." Yara bit her lips at the end of her sentence. He is not ashamed of his difficult situation, but he is afraid of his friends so he thinks that he wants to take advantage of the situation. Yara doesn't like to be pitied.

Diandra and Rina looked at each other when they heard Yara's reasoning.

"And all of them are donors, Ra!"

"So I can't leave if I don't bring money, right?"

"This is all, I'll let you handle the money. If you're a kepake you can take it to me later. If you don't kepake yes you return the same you are round." Rina gave a suggestion.

Yara immediately shook her head in a sign of disagreeing with the suggestion.

"I don't want to travel, even fall into debt and borrow money. I'd better be home and not going anywhere" said Yara.

"Yes, that's just in case, Ra. We are sure that the money will not come later. There is everyone gigging. Guaranteed!" Diandra again gives an option.

"Come, Ra! When will we have a free vacation again," urged Rina.

Yara until scratching her head heard her two friends weld for her presence at the family gathering event.
