"Lho, dear. You're still sick." Mother held both of my hands that felt warmer.
"Eum. just a moment, Bun. That's also my mother's permission."
If it's not approved, maybe I'll unplug it at about 9 when the show's over and the kids go to bed.
Mother looked towards Arsya. Maybe inter-inner communication because I don't see Arsya's face that seems to be being asked for answers by mother.
"Yes, be careful. Hurry home, because here you need."
Uh, permissioned?
There are no special events here anyway. It's just a rame-rame dinner, right.
I turned to face Arsya. It seems that my mother knows our relationship is distant.
"Eng.. Happy birthday, yes." Yeah."
I haven't said anything yet. Last year, I snuck into her room and woke her up at 02 to celebrate her birth. Yes, because the mother said Arsya was born at that hour. So, I want to get it right at that hour.
Arsya just silently stared without answering anything after I said that to her. Looks stiff, I also tried to escape from the mother's trial because we are no longer as close as before.
I walked out and ordered a taxi online.
'Lo sure come, Bo?' ask Kai across. I called him to ask if the show had started. But Kai's a lecture.
"Related. I'm on the road."
'How's lo, anyway? It's not sick anymore, yeah. Juna definitely knows that you can't come.'
"Yes, but this event is not necessarily once a year either. The place is also far away. I'm talking about doang, really." I answered while looking at the city street lights.
'Hh.' Kai's breath was also heard. 'Yes, I am also on the road going there. Wait in front, don't go in. Ntar entered with me.'
"Eh? You're not there now? How come you just came?"
'It was not the intention of the date. Remember Bo, wait for me in front.'
I disconnected the phone. The show went where it went, yes.
If I suddenly came, not strange, yes. No gifts, no more.
Uh. I have to buy a cake first.
Yeah, so I don't seem to bring anything, I stopped for a while at a cake shop. Buy a birthday sponge and write love there. Hopefully, brother Juna is not angry because I came there too late.
When I arrived, I stopped at the lobby of the building. He said Kai wanted to come too and told me to wait for him here. But for a long time, I was afraid that Juna's sister was getting sprained.
And I finally decided to go in by myself.
From outside the door, I heard a noise. Music, laughter, and excitement in it.
I opened the cake box, then lit a candle to give her a surprise.
If from what I know, brother Juna only invited about 20-30 people. That means there aren't many people inside and they're definitely people I know as well.
Huff..
Take a breath before opening the door. May my brother Juna be the same as my arrival.
With one hand holding the cake, I turned the door handle and opened it wide.
"Happy birthday to"
Chanting ceased. What I see in front of this, is it real?
Yoke!
The cake in my hand fell to the floor. Some people looked indifferent and continued their jog. Some also noticed.
And my eyes, could not be separated from the extraordinary view in the corner of the room there.
Brother Juna. and Hani..
The frozen me remained silent as someone's hand closed my eyes from behind.
"Don't look at." His whisper.
Kai. He's behind me now.
But late. I've wriggled the two men kiss their lips there, until without asking, my tears came out wetting Kai's palm.
"Ariva's.."
I sobbed. Kai turned my body and hugged me. I hiccupped, thinking about how they've been cheating on me all this time. Why is there such a scene right in front of my eyes. How could they do this?
"Va.."
Hani's Voice. I want to feel like I grabbed her hair, if only this place is not crowded with guests.
"Gue. want to talk to you."
Can you still talk now, Han? Do you have any shame?
Now Juna's voice was heard, and I turned around.
"You should have told me that I like Juna, Han. Not my prick from behind the gini." I said with raucous. And Hani is down.
"Gue anter lo go home, yeah."
"Wait a minute, I still want to talk to Ariva!" Sela Hani to Kai who has already grabbed my shoulder.
"Please, I want to talk to you, Va."
I noticed the gazes of many people from inside the room. Salma, he's there. Since when was he close to Kak Juna until all were invited? He looked down as I looked at him with a thousand questions through the look in my eyes.
Then, Vita, she smiled obliquely. He seems to be happy with what is happening to me right now.
And here I am now. Sitting in a room that doesn't know what it's called. It feels hot when the AC is alive. In front of me was Hani, and sister Juna who was standing behind her.
I don't want to look at both. How they kiss just keeps floating in the mind and makes me nauseous.
"Gue knows this hurts you. I also know, I'm not useful even though I'm sorry now. But. I want to be clear if I never try to get Juna from lo."
I saw Juna, he took his eyes off me.
"It all happened so, Va. I don't understand the situation now either. And Juna is always there when I need to."
Tai's! She doesn't have the time I need, so she has the time Hani needs?
"Sorry, Va. Sorry me.."
"Ga needs to apologize."
My gaze returned to Juna who touched Hani's shoulder gently. "She's also cheating quietly behind my back."
My eyes narrowed. Whatdoes thatmean? Who is cheating?
"Gue knows you have feelings for Arsya. Yeah, right? I just found out from Vita if your room window is next to each other. For all this time I know you what is the same Arsya with a room that is attached to it?"
"So.. Do you really play with Arya, Va?" Ask Hani anyway. Now both pairs of their eyes were staring at me as if I was the real culprit.
"Lo chose him over me. I love you so much, though. You can go and leave me. You think you can cheat?"
This time I understand, why Arsya does not like Juna and consider this guy is not as good as it looks.
"Trus I also long so do not believe that om-om is lo family. Or maybe their accusations are true if you really are.."
Juna held back his sentence. And I smiled. Crazy, is this the man I've been appraising?
"E-yes, huh, Va? So. why can you buy that expensive thing..." Now Hani also chimed in.
"Hhh. I don't want to give you that rich bastard!"
You real jerk, Juna!
I don't want to answer Juna's charges. I just want to escape from this place.
"That's it. congratulations, yes." Both of them seemed surprised by my answer. Instead of replying to their statements, I smiled even though somehow these damn tears fell. I deleted it quickly.
"Congratulations for showing your true nature to me. Lo too, Han. I miss my best friend in school. In fact you can get rich gini to me. Traitors." I said with a smile with tears on my cheeks.
"But be calm. I'm not as sad as you guys see. I'm happy, God is pointing this at me right now." I stood up, wanting to quickly leave.
"Lo's not a good friend either!" Now Hani really shows his real face. Maybe he's been trying to stay good to me.
"Lo know, do I have a crush on Kai from first grade? And lo.. is that so close to him?"
What else is this? Didn't you get Juna? And at that very moment Salma entered with a worried face.
"Va.."
Ah, here it is. My best friend understands better.
He came closer, then grabbed me. "Badan lo hot. I'm anter home, yeah." Salma said, preparing to take me away.
I'm nodding. Thank goodness there are still friends who care now.
"Lo don't pretend, Ma!"
My body turned back when I heard Hani's voice.
"Han, stop. You know, you got what you want!"
Whatdoes thatmean? Did Salma know what happened between Hani and Juna?
"Originally you know, Va. Juna is Salma's cousin!"
Wh-what?
"And you certainly can guess why Juna could suddenly be close to lo-"
"Enough, Han!"
