(No) BEST FRIEND FOREVER


3 Months later


Nara looked around Nova's house. It was very different from the last time I came. Probably less than 2 years ago. When he's about to make an engagement with Abi. Now, Nova's yard looks more beautiful. Various ornamental plants dominated by green color that is very refreshing to the eye.


"Come Ra." New Nova emerges from the house. Art had actually told Nara to come in. It's just, Nara wants to see ornamental plants in the Nova house.


"Lo's house is getting beautiful Nov. It's delicious, it tastes so."


"This is because of the sudden nyokap have a new hobby. He said not to join. My mom is that, there's a lot to her life."


"Good dong." Puji Nara's. "From busy nyinyirin neighbors, mending gardening. More fun and less sinful."


"Truly true." Nova laughs.


Nova enters the house followed by Nara. They immediately left the family room, a place they used to always use for hotter or group learning.


"Where is the lecturer selection? smoothly?" Ask Nova


"Tomorrow microteaching tests and interviews. Doain is good."


"Huh, you must have graduated. In addition to graduates from well-known universities abroad and grades above average. He is also the son of the rector. Bokap lo connection must be a lot."


"That's what I don't like the most. Always in contact with Papah." Nara grunted in annoyance. He wants to be seen as himself. Became a lecturer because of his ability, not because of Satrio's son, the rector of a famous university.


"Hahaha. Lo the son of the rector of the famous campus. Surely the lecturer at the place of your room also knows the same bokap lo. If your selection is launched, it's called sustenance. What matters is that you don't ask for help. And one more thing, you're capable, that's the key."


Their conversation halted when the art came while carrying snacks and drinks.


"Oh yes, yesterday in the alumni group was very crowded."


"What's up?" Nara asked while sipping orange ice. Since the cancellation process of her marriage to Abi was public, she decided to leave the group.


"Ep.... " Nova hesitated to say. "Abi Arumi wants to get married."


Nara fell silent, she put down her drink and grabbed a snack to neutralize her feelings that arrived uncharacteristically. It's like this it should be. Abi's responsibility to Arumi. But for Nara, this news was very painful.


"It was said that they had married Siri. Wait for the results of your wedding cancellation decision to be inaugurated. And denger, the plan was to make a reception. Don't know how embarrassed, huh?" Nova rolled both his eyes lazy.


Nara tried to hold back her tears. Yes, the matter with Abi is over. As expected of his father. Their marriage was eventually declared void. So there's no record of ever getting married between her and Abi. And her status was declared unmarried, not a widow.


"That's their right."


"Huft, be patient Ra." Nova clasped Nara's hand to give her strength.


Nara is taking the magazine under the table. A little shift so he doesn't cry because of the news.


But the thing he thought was a transition, was precisely a calamity. The magazine she picked up turned out to be an old magazine. And tucked a photo there. Photo 4 girls in ash uniforms. Nara, Nova, Amel and Arumi. Photos taken as they celebrate graduation day.


"Nov, we'll be lonely after this. Nara to London, Amel, to Perth." Said Arumi with a sad face because it will be left by her two best friends.


"Wherever we are, no matter how far apart we are, we remain friends." Sahut Nara with eyes that began to look glass because of the atmosphere.


"Yok i." Amel. "Never let distance get in the way of our friendship."


Nova reaches out her hand, followed by Nara, Arumi and Amel. The backs of their hands are stacked against each other.


"I didn't think so. Our friendship will be like this." Said Nova who saw Nara staring at the photo of the four of them.


Nara wiped her tears and put the photo back in the magazine and put it under the table.


At the same time there was a knock on the door.


"There's a guest. Who else is making the same deal today?" Ask Nara.


"Nothing, just the same. Friends nyokap kali. Let me go ahead." Nova moved from her seat to the living room..


Nara leaned her back on the sofa. Closing his eyes as he lightly nodded his head. For some reason, at the end of this he often felt dizzy. Probably the effects of stress.


But the voice outside, it sounded familiar. Who is the guest coming?


The curious Nara walked in the guest room to see the guests coming.


"Nara." Arumi muttered as she saw Nara emerge from within. Instantly, he felt nervous. This is their first meeting since the incident at the hotel rooftop at that time. No different from Arumi, Nara also looked agitated.


"How are you doing Ra?" Arumi asked as Nara walked towards her and Nova.


"Good." Answer Nara. His eyes suddenly focused on something Nova was holding. It looks like an invitation.


"Arumi nganter invitation." Nova showed the invitation that Nara had noticed.


"O.... " Nara squeezed the end of the blouse she was wearing. His head feels heavier. The floor he stepped on was like a spin. But he can't faint, he doesn't want to look weak. Wouldn't it be a shame to pass out because of seeing Abi and Arumi's wedding invitation.


"Indeed to you, I sent to your home address. Come on Ra."


Nova gawking. Didn't expect Arumi to invite Nara. Wouldn't it be very painful for Nara to see their marriage.


"Gue take care of." Nara replied while trying to be calm.


"Yes, I'll excuse you." Arumi turned around and walked towards the door. But before he came out, Nara called him first.


"Wait for Rum." Nara walked over to Arumi.


"Congratulations." He said while patting Arumi's shoulder slowly. "Hopefully you never feel what I feel. Because I'm sure, you're not going to be strong." Then he turned around and went into the living room of Nova's house.


Arumi flinched for a moment. Her body trembled at Nara's words. There was a little fear in him.


Nova immediately followed Nara inside. He saw his best friend crying while holding his head.


"Prophe Ra." Nova sat next to Nara and hugged her best friend. "Gue knows it's heavy, but I'm sure you're strong." Nova let go of his embrace and looked at Nara's face.


"Ra, you're good, right? lo puke very." Nova looks worried.


"No papa Nov, I'm just dizzy."


"But you're a big shot Ra. I'm going to see a doctor, right?"


"No need. At the end of this, I often arrive dizzy. It may be low blood pressure, or anemia. Tomorrow after the interview, the plan is to go to Kinan's house. I'd like to check the blood pressure."


"Yes, let's rest first. Let's say it's good to just go home."
