Loving my Friend
belatedly

I'm aristama kaysen...

the man smiled, revealing a row of white teeth and neatly owned by him. The afternoon sun's radiance added to the glow of light on his face. that the figure in front of him right now is a man who is absolutely PERFECT.

the girl was still stunned by the scene in front of her at this moment.wasn't this man too perfect?. tall, white and stern-faced but had a gentle gaze.

'conscious nad.... ifrit lu humanity?.. remember! se perfect whatever the man in front of you. do not fall in love!. okay?'. inner nadya

"it seems like my heart and mind are really not in sync". muttered Nadya who can still be heard kaysen.

kaysen knitted his eyebrows together because he did not understand what he had just heard from the girl's mutterings.

hey.... You still hear me?.

kaysen waved his hand in front of Nadya's face, leaving the girl shocked.

" hey... What are you doing?". angry

no... I just want to get acquainted. didn't you say that we don't know each other? that's why you don't want to be my girlfriend?.I'm aristama kaysen, and you? whatis yourname?...

this time the hands of kaysen outstretched before nadya. long silent in his mind, nadya finally welcomed the helping hand.

deg...

'cold?'

"gue nadya cassandraviona. call aja nadya".

what a pretty name...

red tinge coloring nadya cheeks will compliment the kaysen say.

so then? you want to be my girlfriend?

nadya rounded her eyes, unable to believe what Kaysen said.

" wait.. wait... What did you say?"

girlfriend...didn't you say we don't know each other? that's why you reject me is not. well, now we already know each other. You nadya and I kaysen. then moreover?.

nadya patted her forehead.., isn't this guy too easy to conclude things?.

hey... You hit your face? don't you feel pain?.

kaysen pulled the girl's hand from her face.he looked at the girl's face with a gentle look.

do not repeat, you will hurt if you hit your face like that.

again, Nadya felt a cold in her hand which is now being held by kaysen.

"i mean.."

not me. but use me, I think it's a polite greeting to a beautiful girl like you.

blush.. A red tinge re-emerges on her cheeks.

"o.ok, I. uh .. I. I mean, dating is not as simple as you say.

then?..

" everything needs a process. okay, hm. first get acquainted, make friends, understand each other, need each other and may be in love".

but I already like you. Isn't that including the conditions you say?

" no... I mean. uh I mean, the person you like should return the feelings of your tribe as well, didn't I just say that I like my best friend, he found it very difficult to explain.

oh... so we have to go through the process of making friends, being friends, understanding each other and needing each other? . but the process is too long. making nadya laugh at the innocence of the man in front of him.

"how old are you?". seeing the man's innocence somehow the question just crossed his mind.

you won't believe it, I'm definitely much older than your age

"really? but it doesn't seem so. Even a 17-year-old woman like me understands what is called courtship.

but you've never been in a relationship, have you?

'ck... shit, he knows'.

seeing you shut up, it seems like what I said was true.

"be quiet, I just want to be a woman who is loyal to one person".

sometimes stupid and loyal are different.

hey.. Where are you going?.

"GO HOME!!!!".

*********

"kring.kring.kring".the sound of the alarm clock.

"dugh" fell right on Nadya's head.

"ouch,... morning - morning I was unlucky". while rubbing the impact marks on his head.

"ah... at 7:30?. ***** late ..". Nadya rushed into the bathroom.

finished packing her nadya down to the ground floor, because indeed her room was upstairs.

"mam? ifrit where's ma? that Tumben really isn't the kid coming? usually also star wake up nadya from the morning".

sherly's mama who was busy preparing fried rice to the revan plate, papa nadya turned her head towards nadya at this time.

"irfan had come, son, but just received an iron phone call away.he said he wanted to pick up karin".

nadya who had wanted to feed the fried rice to her mouth immediately stopped her mouth.

"ouh...". he said briefly. There was a sense of tightness in him. somehow the girl's appetite was gone already.nadyapun stopped his breakfast.

"ma, pa. nadya left first yes. nadya afraid late,.". while greeting the backs of his parents' hands.

"well, didn't you just eat some bribes? why isn't it spent?". asked Revan.

" ga pa,. nadya is already very late. usually ifrit come pick up the truck nadya diboncengi.tp now nadya have to catch the morning bus".

" yaudah, you take care to walk yes, from tomorrow you learn to drive again.

"nadya already can bring a car mas, mas aja who did not give permission nadya bring a car.

" next week papa's permission".

"really pah?". said nadya. his eyes seemed sparkling with what his father said.

"yes. tp heart - heart".

"yey.. thanks pah, thank you mah". while kissing the cheeks of his parents.

"if so nadya pamit first, assalamu'alaikum pah, mah".

"wa'alaikummussalam". replied sherly and revan simultaneously.

***********

"well.the pager has been locked, forced to find another alternative deh".

nadya chose to walk a little towards the back of the school, at least the back fence of the school was lower, so easily the girl climbed it.

'first - tama throw the bag first'.inner nadya.

nadya threw her bag behind the not-so-high wall.

"au.." ringis someone from behind the wall. will still not be heard by nadya. the girl casually climbed the wall of the fence.

"oh... so you're the one who threw the father with your bag?". surely the baritone's voice was the voice of Mr. badrun. bk teachers who are currently in charge of surrounding every corner of the school grounds to find students who arrive late like Nadya.

"ops... sorry sir! not intentionally! anyway, why don't you step aside anyway? or, why can you stand here try? I'll get caught if I'm late. ops".

'gawat, I release. die me'. Inner nadya. the girl covered her mouth with both hands.

"hasn't he? because of your confession and honesty, I will ease your punishment this time.

"sir. please sir, do not punish me sir, sorry I this time.iii aja. nadya promise will not be late again".

"can't! this has been the number of times you have said that to me. This time you must get punishment from me".

"father, don't dong sir! this is because - because ifrit who is waking me up in the morning - morning. usually he woke me up sir. trus send me to school. tapk because - because already have a girlfriend, I was left that way! is that so, sir?".

" it's your business, your pain.I don't want to know! now stand in the field of respect to the red and white flag.you should be ashamed, have worked hard to free our country heroes.but you as the successor of the nation even hard to get up early to go to school.... and bla.bla...bla".

nadya prefers to go out onto the field and do his respects to the red and white flag.

"loh fan? that's not your best friend?...
