MARRY MY LOVER'S BEST FRIEND
CHAPTER 29

"Why the hell Ra, you seem to support me as Arka?" my many.

"You're more comfortable with Arka" said Rayi who made me feel weird.

"What the hell are you?" I said as I turned my back on Rayi and covered my entire body with a blanket.

"If you tend to be self-limiting, more afraid to step up, afraid to refuse when he suddenly married when you are not ready, afraid to be friends with any man because you are worried Clouds are jealous, that right?" rayi said but I pretended not to care.

"Since you've been with Clouds, you've been overthinking things, a lot" Rayi continued.

I ponder every word Rayi said. Yes, because with Arka I feel unattached, different from the Clouds. I tried to make the Clouds happy even though it was against my conscience. I realized I loved Awan so much, but the way I loved him tended to make me ignore my own feelings. Not to mention the affair of matchmaking with Arka that makes everything more complicated.

"Sleep Ra, work tomorrow" I said, trying to avoid arguing with Rayi.

...****************...

This morning Arka had arrived at home again, she invited me and Rayi to get ready for work. Rayi and I looked at each other, it was too early to leave.

"The three of us get in the car, if we leave later to get stuck can be late," he said Arka while opening the door for us.

When he got into the car, Arka had prepared breakfast for us. To save time, they had to eat breakfast on the way.

"Kok you want to bother our anterin?" I asked while enjoying a sandwich filled with sardines that taste very good.

"Kan Cloud nitipin you to me," replied Arka who was also busy chewing.

"Awan just never shuttle," said Rayi who is still trying to perfect his makeup.

"Awan is not in the direction of you, so he has to mutter," replied Arka who is now focused on driving. I want to say that Awan once offered me a shuttle but I refused, but that's not important to talk about either.

"Your house is a suburb, right? how can it be the same way with us?" my question began to feel strange with Arka's answer.

"Efforting in a direction," replied Arka again which made me even more confused.

We arrived at the factory on time. I immediately rushed to my work room, the last few days I often permission for taking care of a sick father so that my work piled up amazingly.

...****************...

A tiring day, Arka was waiting in the parking area while busy talking to the factory security. Sometimes they laugh like something funny.

"Chat what? I think it's fun," I asked when I was in the car.

"Male susan," said Arka with a smile and showed off her dimples.

This afternoon Rayi just kept quiet, he complained of tiredness due to having to finish the reports that piled up. The atmosphere of the car was quiet, when I turned to the back seat, it turned out Rayi had fallen asleep. Maybe because last night staying up, leaving too early, getting hit by the work that piled up so that Rayi could not stand it anymore. I also yawn occasionally because I am tired.

"Kas, it's here," Arka's voice sounded so close to my left ear.

"Let's take a shower, have dinner and go to bed, so the schedule doesn't get messed up" said Arka, who was back in the car when Rayi and I got off.

"Why?" I ask not to understand.

'Yes, if you continue to sleep, it will be midnight waking up because of hunger, which has not been bathing it feels uncomfortable, so stay up tomorrow morning you are noisy because of bad luck," Arka explained.

Arka then passed away, just as Rayi and I stood waving until the car was out of sight. Rayi went back to her house and I went into the room. Just wanted to lay down my body to continue sleeping, I remembered Arka's message. I forced my foot into the bathroom. It was so fresh after the shower, but I had nothing to eat. I called Rayi for help

"What do you want to eat, Ra? No instant noodles, yes" I said as Rayi picked up the phone.

"Pecel catfish end of yuk alley, ' invite Rayi.

In the spirit of 45 I immediately stepped into Rayi's house. Rayi sat daydreaming on the porch of the house. Not getting ready on the bike as usual. He took a walk there.

"Ra, it's not strong I've lager," I said refusing Rayi's invitation

"Marijuana!" rayi said while grumbling but he finally pulled out a motorcycle.

One portion of it tastes very less, probably because I drained all my energy all day in the factory. Rayi looked astonished and amazed to see my meal that was not as usual.

"Kowe kesambet, uh,. Kas?" rayi asked still seeing me astonished.

"Laper, Ra." I said as I licked my finger enjoying the spicy spell of this pecel catfish.

Suddenly my phone rang and it turned out to be a phone from Rinto. He only told me about the state of the father in the village. My mother asked me to come home to see my father often. I just say yes first so that father mother does not have much thought. But still the risk of factory porters, bound by working hours, besides that often to the village also requires a fee. I'm used to being independent, there's no way I'm asking my parents for money on this.

I took Rayi home. The stomach is filled, the mind is filled with new problems. Wonder why my life feels so messy like this. I opened my phone, there was an email from the Clouds that sent words strung together into beautiful poetry and made me float. For a moment, I forgot all the problems in my life.

"What tuh?" rayi asked me to start kepo and snatch my phone. I let him enjoy the poem from the Cloud.

"The poem will lose the same that cares," said Rayi even impressed ninyinyir.

"ih, yes, my mouth" I said as I snatched the phone back from Rayi's hand.

"Are you actually a piye ? Want to continue with Cloud or Arka," asked Rayi in a serious tone.

"Yes the Cloud, Ra. How are you even like that?" I said.

"But you don't dare to cancel your arranged marriage because your father is sick?" ask Rayi who I think is like sowing salt in the sea. Why did he ask when he knew the answer.

"No need if you know the answer" I said

"Ra seneng mbi your way. It's a big deal, you know the solution is just choosing between your heart and your father. Do not delay, pity your father, pity Awan, pity Mas Arya too," said Rayi full of emotion.

Without saying goodbye, Rayi walked home. Why the hell Rayi? He's not usually like that.
