Friend's Choice Lover
68. My star friend

..." Believe that... Everything that happens along with a cruel and bitter destiny, will surely flower beautifully and sweetly. Never complain about your destiny, because there are still many more bitter destinies experienced by others than the destiny experienced by you. In fact, all who live out destiny in the world are equal in the eyes of the Almighty."...

The next day, Fiya left alone. He was always followed by three wandering spirits who were none other than Dimas, Farhan and Aldo which of course made him uncomfortable. Fiya looked back and the three of them were busy themselves. Fiya stomped his feet and then ran towards the elevator. As soon as he reached the roof, he breathed a sigh of relief. And then looked back again to head to the classroom, yet the three of them were already right in front of him. Aldo stands in the middle of Farhan and Dimas and is the shortest of the two.

"Hey... Until when are you following me like this. I'm the uncomfortable one! And you're Aldo, why are you following them too!!" grumbled Fiya in annoyance.

Aldo looked at Farhan and Dimas and looked down at the guilt while playing his fingers.

"If Aldo is followed, it doesn't matter. And you two!! Why follow me? You ghost doesn't have a job." grumbled Fiya back.

"Hey.. I'm not a ghost. I'm just a soul whose body is lying in the hospital." Farhan replied scathingly and angrily at being insulted by a ghost by Fiya.

Fiya rolled his eyes lazily. And twirled his legs and then stomped him.

"Take it back there, don't follow me!!" reply Fiya nambah ketus.

Fiya turned around but Dimas' hand held Fiya's wrist tightly to prevent her from leaving.

"Take off my hand or not. " said Fiya subtly, but he really wanted to scream.

"We can stay alone." asked Dimas while looking at Farhan and Aldo. The two of them who understood also nodded and disappeared somewhere.

"Get off my hands!!" rebel Fiya who had started to get emotional. Fiya looked at Dimas with anger and left him.

"You're angry with me, aren't you? You don't have to hate them, you just have to hate me."

Dimas' words made Fiya's annoyed move come to a halt. Fiya had actually held back his tears, but Dimas' words made him cry. He turned around and saw Dimas looking down.

"Then... What should I do... Huh!!?? Your departure makes me weak, helpless and worried. You left without saying goodbye and also left without coming back with a body. Don't you know my heart or are you stupid!! Or am I the fool!! ANSWER!!"

Fiya sat down on the floor, looking down and crying. Dimas also could not bear to see her crying, he finally approached and hugged her.

"I'm sorry I had to leave you. I know it's hard for you. Not just you, but for me too. But destiny is against us being together. I'm not stupid, neither are you. I know your heart, for I know you better from childhood, from five years old to this big."

Dimaa cried on Fiya's shoulder, and immediately rubbed it. Dimas held onto Fiya's shoulder to release his embrace. Dimas also wiped Fiya's tears.

Fiya, who had been looking down, had to look up and look into Dimas' eyes. Fiya felt a heavy weight on his head that felt unable to see and look into Dimas' eyes, but Dimas held his head.

"Listen to me. You are my powerful Fiya. You are my smart and intelligent Fiya, and always think positive. Remember this, if I am separated from you, God will give you a better friend than me. A good companion is more than me and can certainly strengthen you."

Dimas spoke softly and made Fiya's tears not stop to drip.

"God calls me, because I need to rest, and of course because you're not mine. Our feelings are the same, our hearts are the same, and we are the same goal. However, what is our power just as a human being. We cannot fight against the fate and scenarios created by the Almighty. If possible, the scenarios we're making will be changed and have more severe consequences than we imagined."

"Remember Fiya, this is not a big screen movie, not a novel and not a screenplay from the hands of people who can be changed at any time and at will. And one more thing you should remember. The scenarios God makes will be more beautiful than what we want and expect. The twists made will be longer and more complicated. So, live each of our lives, because this is how destiny and scenarios are made for us, so accept it."

Fiya looked at him full of digestion and contemplation. Fiya hugged Dimas again and cried. So many things he wanted to throw out, yet all were erased along with the tears flowing from his eyes.

"You are my destiny or not. You are still my best friend who has become a star. Thank you for keeping me company until the end of your life. In fact, you are still faithful to accompany me until now. And perhaps, this is my destiny for having an advantage. So that I can always see you even if I can't reach."

"Yes, you understand now. However, if I go keep my name in your prayers. Your prayer saved me and made me this cold."

"That's for sure and I will always remember. Thank you so much my star friend."

Dimas let go of his embrace and then held both of his cheeks and did not forget to kiss him on the forehead.

"Now it's relieved isn't it? But this time, find a new friend who will listen to you. Don't look for me anymore."

"Are you going now?"

"I'm not leaving now. I'll go away on a whim someday. But this time, you have to find a new friend, even if not as good as me. And on this journey, I'll help you find her."

"Hemm, thank you for always accompanying me and helping me. I don't want to bother you anymore and soon I'll find my new best friend. I also told you, maybe your soul mate is up there too, and I don't want to make your soul mate who in the sky waits for a long time."

"Hehehe... Could it be you. Uda... Now, you get into class. Wash your face first.."

Dimas rubbed his cheeks and helped him stand up. Dimas also slipped his hair into his mouth because of the wind.

"Now go to class even though it's too late. I'm sure you won't be punished. Then let's get in quick."

Fiya smiled and nodded then ran towards the exit of the roof. Dimas who saw it also felt relieved because Fiya was not so frustrated than before.
