Gendhis
Chapter 19 The Togetherness of Me and Vya

“Thought once, Gendhis. Sometimes, there are things in our lives that we cannot control or change. Sometimes, fate has determined the path we must take. In a situation like this, strength and fortitude become important.” Vya said while typing some biodata that I had prepared.

Accepting destiny does not mean we have to give up. But, it means we must have the strength to deal with it with a positive attitude and try to live life with courage. When we face a difficult situation, strength comes from within us. We have to dig into that power and be sure that we are able to get through all the obstacles. We must have confidence that we can rise from the fall and continue the journey of life with rigor. When we face unexpected changes, we must learn to adapt and deal with them with our heads held high. We must take the wisdom of every experience we encounter and use it as a springboard to grow and develop. In the process of becoming strong, we must also involve the people closest to us. Share the burden with them, seek their support and guidance. Sometimes, our strength will be found in the togetherness and support of those who care about us. As of right now, I share it with my best friend, Vya.

“So the conclusion what is Ustadzah Vya?” My temptation to Vya.

“Aamiin. So, Gendhis, although things may seem difficult and unexpected, remember that you have power within you. You can get through this and grow into a stronger person. Keep fighting and never lose hope.” Vya said by lowering her glasses and looking at me behind the glasses that she put down on her nose. I am so angry with his behavior. I'm picking his nose.

“Aduh... You love to squeeze my nose. Later if broken pity my husband later Ndis.” Complaints while wiping his nose.

“Hihi.. cie, cie. Husband what Arya.” My speech.

I sat down by Vya's side with a pile of documents in front of me. We are both preparing the files for the scholarship application. I was busy writing motivational letters and preparing transcripts of grades, certificates, and various other documents. While Vya filled out a form in the form of a PDF on her laptop.

While checking my files, I glanced towards Vya who looked a little anxious.

"Is there anything that bothers you, Vya? You look a little worried."

Vya bit her lip for a moment before finally admitting, "Actually, Ndhis, I'm being worried about how I feel about Arya." Speak with the tip of the nose and blushing cheeks.

Hearing Vya's confession, I took a deep breath. I was curious and wanted to know more about my best friend's feelings. Attentively.

I asked, "You like Arya, Vy?"

Vya bit her lip, apparently hesitating to confess her feelings. But he felt comfortable talking to me. Finally, he nodded slowly and replied, "Yes, Gendhis. I like Arya. But I'm afraid that my feelings are ruining our friendship."

“Kita? Why?” I asked who was confused by the meaning of Vya's sentence just now.

I smiled and embraced Vya warmly.

After Vya expressed her feelings, the two of us sat facing each other, sharing stories. I listened attentively as Vya told me about how Arya made her heart flutter whenever they met. I understand how hard it is to hold onto those feelings. Because I used to feel that way when I was in High School, there was one guy who always made my heart beat in High School, but I keep it tight because I'm just a grain of dust if I have to express my feelings to him, and it turns out the power of minder used to save me from the mirage of love that has the status of dating. Until now I had never even felt like I was in a relationship with any man, and neither did Vya.

In the warmth of our friendship, I also felt comfortable to share the secret. Vya was surprised when I teased, "But, Vya, did you know that Arya is not the only one who makes your heart beat?"

My best friend knitted his eyebrows.

“When you go home at night while participating in the organization, your heart will also pound... hehehe..” My temptation.

The journey of friendship between me and Vya continued, getting stronger and stronger. We support each other in their respective struggles, including in Vya's complicated pent-up love. Despite having different feelings for others, we still keep our friendship as a top priority. And also keep each other's secrets. I learned that true friendship is about listening to each other, understanding, and staying in happy and difficult times. On our way, I found strength and happiness in having a friend who was always by my side. Through this journey, I learned about the importance of cherishing and maintaining sincere friendships. I realized that love can come in many forms, and the most important thing is to keep trust and loyalty to each other. Our friendship is a strong foundation in the face of all the challenges and happiness in life.

“Gendhis, have you ever been in love?” vya's question made all of a sudden the drinking water that I was drinking gagged and gushed out of my mouth.

“Pruufftt..

“Wah! What happened, Ndis?” ask Vya in shock. I looked dumbfounded and tried to clean up the gushing drinking water.

“Sorry, sorry! Drinking water was choking and just came out.” I said embarrassed.

“Hehehe. That was quite a surprise. Are you okay?”

Vya rubbed the drinking water that was stuck on her face.

“No problem, Ndis. We can laugh together about this. Don't worry, nobody gets hurt, which is important. Hehe...” said Vya while laughing.

I didn't think drinking water could choke so hard.

“Thank you Vy. You can always make awkward situations lighter. I'm lucky to have a friend like you.” My words are sincere.

“Sama-sama, Vya. We complement each other and accompany each other in all situations, including when drinking water chokes. No one can disturb our relationship.” Said Vya while commenting on a smile.

It seems that Vya is still curious about my heart about love. He asked back.

“Who Ndis your first love?” Vya quickly asked, I quickly shifted my face. Because it feels warm on the cheek.

“Ah Just love monkey and buried.” I said to Vya.

“Ihik...ihik... pent-up love... what is pent-up revenge... ga still grudge is not the same person?” asked Vya who seemed to understand the man who had made me misbehave on the first day of school.

“Ih. What the hell vy... “ kilah me.

The man did make my heart pound, but like a stump missed the moon I never dared to dream of being able to put more heart on the man who is usually called Kak Gaffi at school.

'Wes focus on Ndis's future, love mah let the business later. Just set yourself up for your soul mate.' I monologue with myself.
