Love Among Family Hostility
Arfin's Reference

"Hi El." Arfin's voice rang out in Eleena's hearing as soon as the girl's feet turned the floor that was the dividing line between the classroom and the campus lobby.

Arfin waved his hands, displayed a warm smile, and saw today he was wearing glasses. Eleena slightly frowned looking at Arfin's appearance from head to toe.

"Lo's wearing glasses?" Eleena touched Arfin's subdistrict. She smiled at the man's appearance, which was a little different than usual.

"Gue wants to make a new appearance" said Arfin puffing his chest, fixing the location of his glasses.

Today the style of Arfin is indeed very different from the usual. Arfin who usually displayed his forehead, neatly combed his hair but now he covered his forehead with jet-black hair. Arfin who usually looks like a manly man and a seductress is now turned into a loving and kind man because there are glasses perched on the nose. Cream colored short-sleeved shirt and black trousers. Arfin looks neater today in contrast to the appearance of him who usually seems masculine with badboy style but still dressed modestly with the occasional plaid shirt.

"Gue's handsome, isn't it?" asked Arfin on the sidelines of their trip. Arfin invited Eleena to go with him for a while. Go to the park in front of the campus as usual, spend time together because lately they spend more time via chat.

"Lo's cool, but I think something's weird" replied Eleena. "This is your original style, or do you want to impress others?" Eleena sat on the park bench when they got there. Garden benches are painted brown and there are floral motifs there. Arfin sat down with Eleena.

"Gue, doesn't it mean cool?" Arfin felt a little sad because of Eleena's question earlier. Arfin looked like this, so that Eleena could be impressed with him. Yang Arfin knew Eleena liked the neat and polite appearance of a man, a man who covered his forehead with hair and a good and loving man. Or the language of today's children call it by the name of 'soft boy' and 'greenflag' guy'.

"Not that, you're cool, really cool. Same type of guy I like." Arfin's smile rose as Eleena said that her appearance now fits her type. That way Eleena has indirectly given Arfin the green light to attract the girl.

"But, Fin. If this is not the appearance you like, not the appearance you usually, mending do not, especially if until the appearance you now make you uncomfortable. Just be yourself, Fin. If you again try to deketin girls, wear your usual appearance, I'm sure if she's a good girl surely she'll find you as it is not because there is anything. Lo it's more handsome like your usual appearance, Fin, I also prefer the lo style that usually, if the effect I like to squirm new people, not Arfin my friend," explained Eleena.

Arfin slightly lowered his gaze hearing Eleena's explanation. What this girl in front of her said was true, Arfin had to be himself even though she was trying to get Eleena's heart. Arfin thought that by changing her appearance to Eleena type, the girl would praise her and be more amazed with Arfin, but even Eleena was disappointed because Arfin forgot her identity.

"Making someone fall in love doesn't have to be a loss of identity, Fin. Precisely because of our unique identity that will make people fall in love, never change yourself for someone, Fin." Eleena stroked Arfin's palm. "Lo cool, kayak usually. The man so soft boy does not have to be with the appearance of him who is polite and seems geeky, but men become a soft boy when he manages to make others comfortable to be around him because of his attitude. And you're my soft boy, Fin. You make me comfortable around you, you make me believe that a friend who is really a friend exists. I'll never be bored to say that you're my best friend."

Arfin's heart melted hearing those words. Eleena was always beautiful as well as the words she said. Arfin was not wrong if he put his feelings on this girl in front of him. Arfin was not wrong if he had to be amazed by Eleena, Arfin was not wrong if he described Eleena in his poetry.

Arfin took off his glasses, and combed his hair with his fingers on the hair and let Arfin's forehead be plastered clearly.

"This guy?" Arfin took off one of his shirt buttons. Eleena clapped her hands at Arfin's appearance. "This is my new friend Arfin," he said happily. "Gue's proud to have a kayak lo friend, Fin." Eleena spontaneously hugs Arfin out of excitement when she only sees Arfin return to her usual appearance.

"Don't ever change again, Fin. Lo cool if I think gini, which was even like a geeky kid." Eleena let go of her embrace.

"Thanks El, I realized what it means to pursue someone. I have always been a motivator for me." Arfin said those words casually, although his heartbeat could not relax due to Eleena's embrace earlier. The fragrance of the rose perfume Eleena clung to Arfin's shirt, as if intoxicating to the man because of the fragrance and beauty of this girl sitting next to him.

"Would you buy ice cream?" Eleena nodded in spirit. The girl stood up after Arfin got up from sitting down. They walked together to the ice cream seller that is always crowded in this park.

"Sir, the chocolate ice cream is two" Arfin told the seller who had just finished serving customers. The seller nodded, immediately making an order from Arfin.

Eleena took one ice cream from the seller and the other one was taken by Arfin. Arfin gave the money a considerable value to the seller which of course it exceeded its original price.

"The return is for you, thank you for selling ice cream in the midst of the blazing gini" said Arfin.

The seller was grateful to Arfin. In the end, the two men left the ice cream seller. Walking while eating ice cream like a pair of lovers but in reality they are just ordinary friends.

...***...

Here now, a woman with a sullen face was sitting next to the steering bench. The white car driven by Vishnu and Eleena sat next to him. The girl folded her hands on her chest, not wanting to look at Vishnu in the least. Being with Vishnu now is the most annoying thing for her, even though she has seen the other side of Vishnu but still Eleena can not forget the bad and annoying side of the man next to her. Moreover, the incident at the bar at that time, Eleena was really fed up with Vishnu.

"Don't be angry with me" said Vishnu breaking the silence created between him and Eleena since the first time he took the girl away from the campus yard.

"Gue can't help but be angry at you" said Eleena. "If Arfin hadn't meant me to go home with you, I wouldn't have wanted to be the same!" continued Eleena stared intently at Vishnu who was focusing on the streets.

Eleena turned her face back, staring at the road they were walking through from the car window next to her. Eleena swore she wouldn't want to be here, with Vishnu if Arfin hadn't insisted.

The two men walked through the park with chocolate ice cream in hand. While occasionally chatting so as not to cause awkwardness. Unknowingly, they had already returned to the campus. And these two humans are now both in the parking area of Binawa University.

Arfin sighed for a moment, he allowed Eleena to finish the ice cream in his hand before Arfin started talking and told Eleena his wish.

"Lo was really fast, the ice cream ran out," said Eleena, still licking ice cream in the hand.

"Hehe, men are always eating fast times, El." Arfin pulled Eleena's hand to take the girl to the chair across the street. Arfin invited Eleena to sit in the chair opposite the parking lot, a long chair with a roof on it, preventing people sitting there from the hot sun.

"El, I wanna talk you a urgent information," said Arfin as soon as Eleena finished eating ice cream in her hands and wiped the area of her mouth using a tissue.

"By what?"

Arfin let out a long breath once more. The words she was going to say to Eleena she had been thinking carefully, ever since she set foot in her house and laid down on the bed, Arfin had already put together the words so as not to hurt Eleena's feelings. Arfin had already prepared everything, including the answer to the question that Eleena would probably ask him, Arfin was ready and he had to say it right now.

"El, it's about Vishnu." Eleena had just opened her mouth to interrupt but Arfin had already stopped her with a continuation of her words. "Gue wants you to be Vishnu's girlfriend."

Eleena was silent that second as well. What he heard was like a dream that shouldn't have happened. He never imagined that, Arfin— was the only friend he trusted, but the man asked him to have a romantic relationship with a man who was about to harass him in a bar.

"El, don't get me wrong, okay. I can explain everything," continued Arfin, trying to give confidence to Eleena that she had the intention of his words just now.

"El, I do not ask you to really be Vishnu's girlfriend, I just want you to be his pretend girlfriend, so enough girlfriend in front of bokap Vishnu doang. You do not have to behave like a real girlfriend like him, you can even be free to hate and not like him, but I beg you very much lo, if if if bokap Vishnu see lo again with his son, please pretend to be his girlfriend in front of his bokapnya."

"Make what? Why do I have to do that?"

Arfin sighed for umpteenth again, he already had an answer to this and Arfin was sure he could definitely answer casually without being nervous.

"El, Vishnu wants to be betrothed to the same bokapnya—"

"What does this have to do with me?" cut off the already lazy-looking Eleena to hear this topic of conversation.

"El, the matchmaking that would be done by Rama is for business purposes. Vishnu once told me that lo who nolongin him when Vishnu beaten his own bokap. You know yourself, right bokapnya Vishnu is crazy, if he can beat his son all-out through telling his men just because Vishnu ran away from home, surely he can do even more if Vishnu rejects the arranged marriage offered by him," explained Arfin.

Eleena was still silent, not saying anything. "El, if Vishnu's father knows he has a girlfriend, then the child will not be fooled again. I dare to guarantee you, he will not be rude anymore, will not be cheeky again, and will not do anything that makes you angry or hurt. I dare to guarantee that. I need a lot of help you to be Vishnu's pretend girlfriend, El. I don't want to be hurt let alone the same bokapnya itself, only you can help, El."

Arfin held Eleena's hand. "If you can't trust Vishnu, you can trust me, El. It won't be long, though. Only for three months let Rama believe that the child has a girlfriend. After that you are free to go as far as even maki-maki Vishnu. I guarantee you, El." There was a very deep plea from Arfin's gaze to Eleena.

"Can you really like this? Lo persuaded me to be your friend's girlfriend, so unfortunately you are the same as Vishnu?" ask Eleena.

"Friendship is above all else El, I am willing to lose everything to maintain my friendship, because from my friendship, I get everything. Including what family means. Vishnu is not just a friend to me, but more than that. Vishnu, Baim, Gilang, all three of them are my family, El. We have to help each other out, right?"

Eleena sighed. He lost if he continued to see the look in Arfin's eyes that were so weak. The girl could find sincerity there, any of Arfin's words even about what he felt to Vishnu, were real. Arfin is too good to be Vishnu's friend, the jerk.

"OK, I want to be Vishnu's pretend girlfriend" said Eleena in the end. Arfin's smile burst open, the man clenched his hands in the air as a sign of happiness with a slight cry of excitement.

"But." The movement of Arfin instantly stopped, like a statue. "Gue wants to be his girlfriend, if he can be sure of me, he's really a good guy and won't be rude anymore to me" he continued.

"Say you guarantee, he can take care of me, so I want to see firsthand how he takes care of me before I become his girlfriend."

"Silence, El. If that I'm ready for the thing that makes you can immediately believe the same Vishnu."

Eleena's here because Arfin believes in this friend of his. Otherwise, Eleena would not have been driven home by this boy. Eleena wanted to know how she was doing good to him. However, just the first experiment the man was already annoying, he did not talk just focused on staring at the streets, as if Eleena did not exist. Even at the first opportunity, Vishnu had made Eleena put a bad perception on him.

Indeed yes, Vishnu Son of Aksanta, it will always be a annoying man.
