Irma put her body on the bed, she took a very long breath.
" It will be a long story" he said slowly.
Sholeha followed Irma, so they lay staring at the ceiling that would not understand the meaning of both stories.
" I have plenty of time to hear it, and well I'd also very much like for us to tell you everything from the beginning so that nothing else is left out of this journey of ours!"
Irma laughed, "It turns out that my best friend is indeed a real good person in this life, he is a person who is not angry because he was betrayed" he said, turning to look for Sholeha's eyes.
" You think I'm as bad as what?"
" Even I thought that if you didn't want to see my face again, it felt like the moon was struck when I saw you actually come looking for me without getting angry about being hurt" he said seriously.
Replace Sholeha who can't help but laugh "Wicked is that?" Irma nodded quickly, "Alas, I have no more friends besides you" he added so sadly.
" I'm sorry ..." said Irma again sad.
" So story, or I'll just go home, I'm not here to hear your apologies that I'm tired of hearing "threaten Sholeha is upset.
Irma smiled, turning her position back to her back. Sholeha still faithfully looked at the face of her best friend who had not met for a week already looked thin and a little pale.
" In fact, from the first we know Arman. I have a heart for him, but I also know that Mas Arman likes you. I forgot more details when, though, but well so the name is also lost to rivals with his own friends who will give up that fit and still think if someone Sholeha will not be replaceable in the eyes of Arman, free I fight also the result must be rejected."
" Why not be honest, but I was still confused between like and just like it. You even support me to be with him"
" Well, I didn't say Ha, my rival was heavy. Mana Mas Arman her insistent desire to date with you, well that's where I was first jealous and heartbroken simultaneously."
Sholeha rubbed Irma's shoulder slowly, "Okay must be very sad, sorry I was not reasonable at that time" he said deliberately made-up grieving.
" Thus I was determined not to tell anyone about this, at that time I still felt better to be silent than at the same time rejected Arman. Well, I'm starting to get jealous little by little."
" You are so strong Ir" praised Sholeha on the sidelines bitter Irma story.
" Yes the name is also a choice, I've tried my best to keep this taste of you guys in fact not strong it turns out" Irma laughed a little.
" It hurts?"
" Yes, but I can't blame you either, can I? I'm looking for trouble myself. Until finally-" Irma hung up her story and stared deeply at Sholeha. " Can I keep the story?" ask him later.
With doubt Sholeha nodded, she also had to hear everything today, so that nothing else would be covered from Irma, this was for the sake of friendship that had to keep going.
" Till that was, as I told you at the meatball stall when that day, Mas Arman was probably tired of your attitude which he thought was lacking in response, and too indifferent. That's where my crimes started."
Sholeha laughed at Irma's style of telling stories as if she were the perpetrator and suspect in the news.
" Kayak denger crime story deh" said Sholeha held back laughter.
Irma also returned Sholeha's laughter, as soon as the simple space gave off a long-gone warmth.
" Ndak nih? ask Irma.
Sholeha nodded enthusiastically, she could no longer hold back the laughter that might actually be mixed with your taste as well.
" Dak know why, Mas Arman so often will be obrolin about you, continue to often chat and had a few phone calls as well. Anyway, it's like cheating people. It's not good to be told the same story as you, so feel really sinful with you" she summed up suddenly.
" Honestly, Ir at first I was also sad and disappointed, but I don't think anymore what ndak more sad so you, I often vent and Arman's story with you. Keep the truth, but do not say the same mas Arman yes if my father did not really like him. Not because of what the hell Ir, basically they have arranged me with his best friend's son, Mas Sholeh, but at that time I also kekeh want the same marriage Mas Arman, Mas Arman, so my mother had to shut up and obey me. Well when I say the same to them if the measles won't support me, instead look for a new one. Explaining too?"
Now their story has moved cast and soon there is little info for Irma.
" Oh yes, so how is it now with Mas Sholeh?" ask Irma preparing to be a listener.
" We're marrying Ir, the twenty-fifth of next month"
" WHAT , " cried Irma so surprised. "loh he said is still three months away?" ask Irma again.
" Em, I don't know why he asked me that, when I thought - ,
Sholeha stopped, then adjusted her breathing calmly.
" I asked him to marry someone else." He deliberately paused his sentence, considering whether he should tell further or get here.
"Tell Leha, I know you've been holding her all this time!" irma gave me advice.
"Yes, I was confused myself at the time. Actually there is another woman who I think is more worthy of mas Sholeh and I see she also loves mas Sholeh, she is also much different from me, she is beautiful, mature, mature, and smart so I think I'd rather give up than get in the way of their relationship."
" A minute, so he doesn't like you?" serobot Irma was a little disrespectful.
" Em is not that, but I don't know whether Mas Sholeh likes me. What's clear is that after I say I'm gonna cancel the proposal, uh he's just been clueless. And yes it's dadi, even ask for the agreement in advance of the previous estimate."
" Yes, it means he doesn't like the woman, the proof is that he wants to marry you" Irma concluded in her own style.
" He's his best friend from small Ir, then he also once said if he also likes the Mbak-Mbak. But he said again if he had no intention of marrying her, if I meant my mind was wrong ."
" Hem, so yeah. How are you going, ?"
" I'm sorry I couldn't give you advice or just comfort you at that time" said Irma felt guilty.
Sholeha got up and sat in the middle, she looked better than ever. " Irma was your toughest jealousy at the time what?" Sholeha still wants more to know the story of her best friend.
Irma also sat down, "When Mas Arman left for work, just because he couldn't see you marrying someone else, it hurt ha, ha, and sorry this is also the cause of our quarrel at that time "he said with great earnestness.
Sholeha looked to remember, then nodded small.
" I've been sad, when Mas Sholeh said if he didn't have the opportunity to reject me Ir, I don't know if I was expected or not with him, but we understand each other if we are trying to improve our intentions only" he replied honestly to Irma.
" Maybe, you misunderstand the sentence ha, we know it is bad to think it will only be troublesome. After all, he's determined to marry you instead of choosing his best friend, right?"
Sholeha nodded, but no longer replied .
" Well, how's Mas Arman doing?"
said suddenly.
" Hopefully he is good, I also do not know since then he did not press with me, occasionally just chatting just asking for news. And actually he didn't make me his girlfriend either, so our love confession is that much, in fact he can't forget you" Irma looked sad .
" Em hope she stays okay, Ir if there's a chance to marry Mas Arman do you want? he's a good man ." Sholeha asked Irma.
Irma shook her head slowly, "I don't know, to get married is still too far for her ha, we know she still wants to make a lot of money for the family, he said, brother and also himself whether what he said was true or just limited to the reasons he made to escape avoiding this problem, without realizing he only managed to hurt us both right?".
Sholeha also fell silent, what Irma said was true, he was the backbone of the family, because of his attitude that made this friendship cracked not entirely wrong he also had his own reasons. Maybe there will be another story in Arman's own point of view. Then at once Sholeha felt guilty for harassing her with the desire to marry at that time, but she also realized if not with the will of God where there is a story like this.
"May he be well there" Sholeha said.
" Oh yes my best friend, so now can you move on from Mas Arman?" ledek Irma on Sholeha .
" Em inshaAllah is already" he replied without hesitation.
" Then, has she been in love with Mas Sholeh?" the teardrop came back, this time one eye until it flickered indistinctly.
Instantly Sholeha pounded Irma's body with a pillow, "What the hell?" answer me timidly.
Whether like the end, their conversation is increasingly unclear. Originally so tense and mixed with tears now turned into laughter that anyone who heard it must be curious, whatever they were talking about at noon like this.
In addition, Irma's house is always quiet in living residents work all day, making the two let go of each other's longing that they made because of the quarrel. Since the two used to be together, it is ironic to suddenly separate because of this matter, it is not trivial but not good also if they sacrifice their friendship.
" Ir, I can't believe, we've been together since childhood, but there are things that we hide from each other like this" Sholeha said amid her laughter that began to subside.
" Yes me too. Humans are so well, it is very difficult to say honesty" he said as if he had received divine enlightenment.
" Well, how?" ask Irma again to Sholeha.
" What?"
" In love?" Irma answered with another question.
" I can't conclude right now"
" Alright Sholeha, I know you're still embarrassed. One thing you should always remember if you feel it don't forget to tell me. This time I will fully support you and well will not be jealous. Don't make me find out for myself" he said so enthusiastically.
" Yes, yes Irma. How can I hide it from you this time, since you just told me you already know the answer and conclusion right?"
Sholeha shook her head slowly, along with her smile that increasingly responded to her best friend.
" I'm actually not that great either, but my kepo moves are very reliable. You won't be able to run away Sholeha, one or two questions you won't answer believe me, I'll arrive at the end of your brain and find out for yourself" Irma chuckled at her own words, seeming crazy .
Likewise with Sholeha who also laughed, " Unfortunately I can't be like that to you first, if I could I would also peel all your heart so that I could find the answer and where your jealousy came from at that time" Sholeha replied following Irma's words.
" We definitely won't hurt each other" Irma sambar was so firm at the end of the laughter.
Sholeha nodded, agreeing.
" Eh but right, if you fall in love with Mas Sholeh it must be later. If you tell me everything I have I envy you more "all of a sudden Irma imagines something far away.
" I told Irma, you can get married too. Mas Arman will come back to propose to you" Sholeha slightly mocked and elbowed Irma slowly.
Irma looked silent.
" He could have looked for a new one, and left me."
" Hem I don't know either, but he's Irma's nice guy. If she's already aware of your feelings for her she'll definitely see you again later, trust me"
" I don't know Sholeha, I wouldn't expect much. Even I can clearly remember her fiery eyes from hearing you were getting married, but she also knew and I confessed my feelings. I guess he didn't think too much of me or really loved me, he could have just made me run away at that time" she explained grudgingly.
At the beginning Irma was confident that their relationship reciprocated, but at this moment she seemed desperate and regretful to have admitted it. Is it possible he's been played by Arman? maybe yes, or maybe not.
