[What is Kenaga II Street Number 3?] I screamed in my heart. My face was red. Cold dry out.
No way, something must be wrong. Radea could want to prank me. Where might he live on Jalan Kenanga II Number 3. While in that house I found no one but Mr. Anwar and his aides. Even if Radea was there why there was not a single photo of him on display or the motorbike whose vehicle the other day was parked in the garage.
Radea finished her sentence and turned to look at me. The way it looks at me is like the way the police look at a caught thief. I hope not the one who listened well to the address mentioned by Radea. But it seems like an impossible hope. Faruq glanced at me, I briefly clenched his retina his eyes glared at me before I bowed to hide the lie, my heart rustling.
"You're at home with Radea's sister?" Ayu's chirps make me an eighth.
"What's? You mean Yu?" I pretended not to understand Ayu's question in order to change her assumption.
"Kak Radea also lives on Jalan Kenanga II number 3. Your address is the same, meaning you're home to dong." Ayu asked for confirmation.
"Emmm ... Radea was wrong, we're neighbors. The whole thing on Jalan Kenanga III number 2."
"Oww, I thought you were home and never told me and Daniza."
"No," I answered Ayu. There is a sense of guilt for lying to your best friend. One lie will give birth to a new lie, it just happened to me.
***
The first meeting is over. The administrators still stay to discuss important matters related to routine exercise activities and other important things.
Ayu and I walked towards the gate. This time not picked up again by aunt Yusnita. I'm going home on the bus.
"Somebody wants me to talk about it."
"Yes, by the way again. About Faruq's sister?"
I'm shaking.
"You are in love with Faruq."
I'm nodding. I don't know how to tell Ayu about my problem. About my lie address. About my relationship with Afni. About the bitter fate that befell me in this city. The city where Ayu was born and raised. Things like this I must tell Ayu before Daniza because Ayu is more mature in providing solutions.
"I don't know where Yu should start."
"What a hard thing, you just talk to me whatever it is. Starting from the end to the base or the base to the end, or from the middle is not a problem!"
"Yu's actually a-"
The Fortuner Sport stopped in front of us. The person in the car opened the windshield and saw the face of someone in it looking at my direction and Ayu. Radea gave her sweet smile. I misbehaved him, considering the address I called was the same as the address. Somehow the feeling of Ayu who saw Radea Secretary of the music organization stopped in front of us. Maybe Ayu thinks Radea will ask for confirmation about that address.
"I searched inside apparently you were waiting here. Yuk's home!" Without a I u e o Radea taking me home. Ayu smiled strangely as a result of her behavior.
"Ha home?" i gawk.
"Yes home!"
"Is it not wrong Brother Ajakin I came home?"
"Yes not wrong."
"Did you say the wrong address?"
"Emm .. no."
"Brother of Maiza's house?" Ayu wants to find out which truth lies between me or Radea. Ayu
linking his eyebrows together and looking at me with a myriad of questions in his head.
"Yes, you heard it yourself right that the address I called was the same as Maiza's address, right Za?"
I'm dead flea. No defense. From today Ayu will consider me a liar. How could I tell Ayu the truth that one little lie had destroyed her trust.
"But, Maiza said that she was wrong, I live on Kenanga III street number 2 and Maiza on Kenanga Street II number 3."
"What is Kenanga III Street? There's only Memories I and Kenanga II."
"Aargggg ... basic atmosphere destroyer." I grumbled inwardly. My lies began to fall. I wanted to tell Radea to leave in front of me but stopped because there was Ayu.
"Za, are you lying to me?" ayu fierce gaze.
"Get, a-"
"Maiza had no intention of lying to Yu, she just wanted to hide the truth so that no one would try her out in the organization. I broke last night's promise with him."
"Is that really Za?" Ayu still hesitated. I don't know what to answer.
"Yes Yu," I said. I was empowered to agree than this small matter resulted in the breakdown of my relationship with Ayu. I lied again.
"So you really don't want to go home together?" Radea's increasingly taking the opportunity to set me up for the wrong I've done. I must refuse. Radea is a stranger. Do not let there be a hidden intention in his heart to harm me. Or maybe he wants to do something indecent to me because seeing my comradeship, easy to fool. I have to refuse at all costs.
"Sister went home first, I want to accompany Ayu to wait for his invitation." I hope Ayu asks me to stay with him.
"No need Za, I'm fine waiting by myself. My father will be here soon."
Ayu doesn't know that I'm in trouble. He just relaxed letting me come with Radea.
"But Yu," I tried to make an offer. How could I come with Radea home while my real address isn't there. It's good that Radea was honest, but if Radea lied and deceived me, I'd be looking to die.
"It's okay, I'll keep Ayu waiting." Radea was waiting. This guy is stubborn, too. It's true he wanted to drive me home from yesterday. I'm more and more convinced he has a hidden desire.
"It's okay Za, really. You go home first with Radea." A faint smile could be seen being thinly lipped.
"But Ayu,"
"Right, I'm fine. Poor Radea's sister waiting for you." Poor fellow? Ayu has more pity for others than for herself who has to wait for herself while soon changing nights. I wanted to scream that I wasn't at home with Radea. And Radea, hearing Ayu allow me to come with her immediately.
I had no choice, inevitably I had to go with Radea, get in her car and leave my fate in her hands.
"Alright, I'll walk first Yu." I opened the back door.
"Who's sitting in the back, am I a driver?" Radea opened the front door for me. It means I'll sit next to him.
I went up and sat down next to him. Ayu waved to me as a farewell and be careful.
Meanwhile my heart dag dig dug. " God protect me."
