MARRY MY LOVER'S BEST FRIEND
CHAPTER 8

The clouds approached me and tucked my hair behind my ears, but I knew his eyes were still staring intently at Bara who was standing right behind me. I can only be silent and petrified. I tried to calm down, as if my brain said to my heart, Calm down Love, everything will be fine, you also do not say anything, but my heart continues to be anxious.

"The door opened unlocked, HP could be reached but there was no response," said Awan as he looked at me gently, spontaneously reaching into my pocket.

"HP's in the room" I said quickly.

"Where from?" cloud asked as his hand was placed on my shoulder.

"Find the wind on the sidelines," I replied as it is without any lies.

"Kowe kok bali?" rayi asked quite representative of what was on my mind. I wanted to ask that but I was afraid the Clouds were offended.

"Can't you?" The cloud turned around asking while smiling at Rayi.

"Yes, if you know you're back, we're not going anywhere" Rayi answered, always saving me.

Rayi then said goodbye followed by Bara who bravely greeted the Clouds before turning on his motorbike. I took Awan into the house and asked him to sit on the sofa. While I went to the kitchen and came back with two cups of instant coffee. Hoping to calm the actual atmosphere adem ayem but who knows there is still fire in the husk pile.

"Did you miss this? Just left for a minute?" I said try to tease him.

"Just gone for a while there's been something nyamperin," said the Cloud, who seemed to start blowing fire so that the chaff burned.

"I'm just a friend, we're a job." I said trying to explain, but I knew the Clouds would have a way of breaking my reasoning.

"I believe in you, but not her," just as I thought there was always an answer from the Clouds.

"Don't that dong, Wan. You're not sure of me either" I said in a spoiled whining tone, who knows how to melt his heart.

"The eyes of the Bara spoke, as a fellow man I knew what he meant" said Awan, drinking the coffee I had served. "Yes, it's a pity to be ready for an invitation from Arka," he said as he peeked at the tip of my head.

I replied with a nod without asking where to take her and for what event. I got along not because I was afraid of the Clouds getting angry, but I admit, I like the sound of Arka. Especially singing ballads. Make the heart of any woman melt.

Finish the bath and make up I met the clouds in the living room. He smiled as if he was amazed and fascinated. I stepped closer to him and sat down beside him.

"If I say I like it because you smell it, you want me to marry GIV soap?" he said he teased me and I greeted him with laughter.

"No dong, cook my girlfriend given to GIV soap?" I reply while poking his nose.

"Good, I can be relieved" he said, poking my nose back, like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.

"Change the LUX soap now, the GIV soap is gone" I said, laughing and following the standing Cloud.

I locked my door and we both left. A simple house, my sweat results even though it is still KPR. At least I have a place to go. I asked permission to go to Rayi's house for a minute to leave the keys. Sometimes the night Rayi needs to take something from home even though it is just instant noodles. I once offered Rayi to stay at my house rather than her contract, the money could be for other needs. But Rayi refused on the grounds that she was afraid not to fit in with me because 'seems' to have OCD and can not see something messy. Unlike me who tends to be more relaxed for neatness and cleanliness problems.

"Where he wants, dizzy he said in the crowd," I said reasoned.

Rayi opened the door after I knocked repeatedly. His eyes looked pretty like a sign he just woke up. Pillow face! Sometimes jealous of Rayi who can sleep easily.

"Ni the house key, I'm leaving" I said, propping the key.

"Where are you going?" tanyanya rubbed her eyes.

"You wanna see the concert, you wanna come?" the word Awan offered to Rayi just as it was talked about earlier.

"wonghah,marai mumet. I don't mess with wae" he replied, waving his hand and closing the door.

The hostess has no manners. Guests are still standing in front, he's playing close the door. I wanted to break down that door while letting out my emotions. But I must appear graceful in front of the Clouds. I was thinking, bothered to be a girlfriend too. Back when I was friends, I always appeared as I was in front of the Clouds, but now why do I have to cover a part of myself just to look perfect in the eyes of the Clouds? Though the Cloud should have known all my habits and behavior, about seven years of friends it is not a short time.

"Come, even dumb," Awan asked while tightly embracing my shoulder.

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

The event is not in a cafe usually, but in the mall courtyard surrounded by food stands at a Culinary Expo event. It turns out that different ways of thinking between employees and CEO. In addition to enjoying Sunday night and fulfilling the invitation of Arka, Awan also has business interests here. Awan has plans for the development of its business that will open a special location for culinary tourism with Nusantara flavor. We visited several booths and Cloud talked a lot with his owner.

The clouds were very kind and sensitive to me, he asked me to sit near the stage when he saw me getting bored and looking uninterested in his activities. I sat a few meters from the stage and enjoyed a glass of iced tea while waiting for the Clouds to finish walking around. There was Arka waving her hand when she saw me. It is common to sing in cafes or places like this some visitors ignore the good performances from the stage but to me it is a pity, if the appearance and melodious sound of the Arka accompanied by acoustic guitar passages that I think are amazing to be missed.

Finished Beautiful in white performed by Arka and the stage filled by a girl and accompanied by a band.

Arka went off the stage and walked over to me. For some reason, since the beginning of meeting I was always amazed by the clean and well-groomed white skin of Arka that made me feel inferior to my skin that was a little dull because of frequent exposure to sunlight and pollution. Not to mention her dimples that sweeten her smile and this time her hair looks neat with cornrow wave braids. If you meet Rayi, surely Rayi has halu high level and then label it with other Japanese artists.

"Somewhere he looks at me" he scolded as he sat in front of me. His words made me blush, like a child caught eating candy when it was forbidden.

"Yes, I'm amazed. Naturally dong," I said to relax and cover up the embarrassment.

"What the hell is admired about me? I'm a regular gini," he said starting to go low.

"Eh, have you ever tried singing competitions on TV-TV? Your voice is good, you're good looking, too" isn't it?" I said try to make a suggestion

"Don't overdo the compliment, later you have a crush on me," he said casually with a smile.

"Don't be seduced by that dong, girl of the nih people," said the Cloud who suddenly appeared from behind me and sat beside me.

"Well, I'm also a person, meaning my girl is also dong," said Arka.

The clouds seemed to respond to him casually, but I couldn't be that relaxed. I know the Clouds, he's a fire-jealous easily. I wanted to pull all my talk to Arka earlier. I saw the clouds from my tail, there was a hint of anger behind his casual attitude.
