MARRYING YOUR BEST FRIEND
Chapter 3: T a m a

At 20:35 they finally arrived at one of the villas that looks like a new building,

in contrast to the villa around him whose paint began to fade.

Rafi took off the seatbelt first

to ascertain if Rani will be comfortable meeting with her friends.

“Rani, do you really mind meeting my friends?”

Rani who was about to open the car door turned her head, “Yaampun Rafi, we have arrived here, you know.

You calm down, I'm not going to run away.”

Raka chuckles at her boyfriend's answer, “I'm afraid if you're not comfortable later, ,

if later they joke late do not be horrified yes,” he said

hope Rani will understand that.

“Udah is calm. You don't worry too much about me yes,” said Rani reassured.

“Woi! Why are you in the car alone, get out here!”

I don't know whose voice it is, which must be one of Rafi's friends shouting at the two of them who

still not moving.

“Udah yuk, not good with others already waiting,” pinta Rani after hearing the exclamation.

Rafi nodded, “Still yes, dear.”

Not to forget Rafi swiftly grasped Rani's hand, he looked like he wanted to show off

the woman to her friends.

“Asik, someone brought a new girl, nih,” chirped someone who was standing in front

the door welcomes them.

“Eh bro, how are you?” Rafi did tos and hugged her friend.

“Good. How about?” ask Rafi's friend later.

“Alhamdulillah good. Uh, know my future boy, Rani,” he said along with his hand

he pointed to Rani.

“Halo Rani's. I know Waren,” Waren said by extending a hand.

Rani quickly welcomed the hand, “Halo greetings also.”

Two other people who are certainly friends of Rafi also approached to welcome the arrival

them.

“Halo-hello! Eh Rafi I miss the same lo!” the blonde woman who is still unknown to Rani's name immediately hugged Rafi just like that.

“Do not play hug prospective husband of lo people! See if there is a girl,” said Waren interesting

hand blonde chick.

“The name is also kangen,” grunt the woman with a pouty face.

Rafi just smiled at the behavior of her two friends, “Knowin my bini candidate,

inshaAllah,” he pointed to Rani.

One of the young men with long hair who had just been silent at last

chiming, “Halo Rani. Sorry yes, you just came to watch this commotion.”

“You really are Rafi's candidate?” asked the blonde woman with round eyes still in disbelief.

“Yes yes, Kriwil, boongan time,” again Waren chimed.

Squeezing her eyes the woman kicked Waren's shin, “Can be quiet anyway, lo!”

Waren momentarily bowed in pain by holding his leg, “So bad lo. Good thing girl, if a guy I've tonjok.”

“You still haven't changed it turns out, mature dong already wants a head of three as well,” said Rafi shook her head in an inexhaustible manner with what she witnessed

“Yes that's Raf, you know for yourself how if Waren and Juwita have met, rich

rat same cat,” clear hairy guy gondrong.

Waren and Juwita this time switched to glaring at the gondrong man because they did not accept being called

cat and mouse.

“Rani, this is Elgin who has his show and who has this villa,” explained Rafi to Rani who

from then on just listening.

“May you not hang ya Ran, meet his friends Rafi,” said Elgin dramatically.

Rani just smiled and responded, then they entered the villa

it's creamy white.

Although not so luxurious but comfortable enough to gather with friends or vacation with family.

Rani sees some other Rafi friends who are busy with their activities

respectively, there is someone with a piece of flapping guitar in front of the television that is still on.

Not only that there are busy in the kitchen preparing for what Rani thinks

it seemed like it was preparing something to roast, he was able to witness it

because the kitchen is very close to the living room.

In addition, there was a joking commotion of some people from the second floor who did not know who Rani had not known.

“My dear friends, please all attention!” This time Elgin called out to all her friends, hoping to have her call heard.

“Rani, sorry yes, temen me a lot so you have to acquaint with them all,”

whisky Rafi.

“Iya, it's okay,” said Rani understood.

Like the participants of the study tour, all Rafi's friends simultaneously focus their attention on Elgin, who then moves on Rani as if wondering who she is.

Someone down the stairs, “Asik! Sohib I brought a new girlfriend!”

When everything has gathered in the middle room exactly in front of the television that is still

also lit up Rafi realized something was wrong.

“Eh, briefly. This is why you come alone, instead of having to bring a partner?”

tanyanya.

Then in unison his friend laughed out loud, “We fell together lo, Raf,” chirps one of the men with a slightly dark complexion.

Elgin patted Rafi's shoulder, “We want to see you bring Raf chick, besides you've been a long time singles. We think you will come by yourself, uh it turns out there is already.”

“That's so bad ya lo on! Kasian my girl, home from work should be here,” bright

Rafi grumbling.

“Udah is okay,” said Rani calms Rafi down.

“Icikiwir, really sosweet anyway,” chirps Waren.

“Kenalin dong,” exciting otherya.

Rafi refocused on Rani, “They're all these High School friends I'm Rani. It's Tama,”

pointing at the man Rani remembered playing the guitar, handsome too, thought Rani.

Tama whose name is called giving a smile sign of greeting who then Rani reply politely.

“This is Mira,” continued Rafi pointed to a sweet woman who uses a blue knit sweater.

“Maditra,” points to a teary-eyed man with a thin mustache.

This time Rafi pointed at the bald man, “This is Rego, the batak man he is, so by the way

kenceng don't be surprised ya.”

All of them laughed at Rafi's statement, Rego did not feel any objection he even went up.

“It's Dimas, and this is Fauzan,” Rafi closed on the introduction of all her friends that ended

by two friends who according to Rani very high.

Rani smiled before introducing her umpteenth time, “Halo everyone, please,

“So Rani welcome to this villa. Because we haven't been together for a long time

together that's why I want you all, well itung-itung keep silaturrahmi,”

elgin is at length.

“Halah, you want to show off the new villa right?” waren chirps were greeted by another cheering.

“Yes, show off thinly,” replied Elgin with a laugh, “Just enjoy ya guys! I want you to be happy here! Oh yes, Mir seasoning for barbeque is ready right?” ask

Elgin turned to the sweet woman sitting on the couch.

“Udah dong,” replied Mira by lifting her thumb.

“Sip. We

can start yes, burn it. But remember don't burn my villa you guys,” said Elgin reminded.

Hearing the words of Elgin again everyone laughed, Rani did not feel awkward in the middle of them just the opposite Rafi's friends seemed very familiar and care for each other which made Rani comfortable.

“bro, there is less,” timpal Waren.

“Apaan?” ask Juwita curious.

“Feature!” waren replied with confidence.

“Astagfirullah Aki! Sin drinking red wine,” said Rego who had just been silent.

“Quiet for those of you who want to drink already I ready in the refrigerator. But please don't disturb those who don't want to drink, yeah. We are free adults, you have a choice

each,” bright Elgin reminded.

“Yaudah then we start, enjoy guys!” close Elgin.

Everything immediately dispersed to prepare for their next event, the barbeque, as well as Rafi who had gone to the kitchen.

Rani dizzy to see which place if she can put her sling bag so as not to disturb her to help others.

“Put here aja,” said the sweet black man Rani knew named Tama, he pointed out

a small table next to the sofa.

“Oh yes.” Rani immediately put her bag on the table.

“Like meat is not?” ask Tama again.

Rani who folded her sleeves ready to help in the kitchen turned her head, “If beef likes, if goats do not like.”

“We will burn frog meat,” the answer lightly.

Rani surprised, “Serious?”

Tama chuckles, “Not kidding.”

The two then laughed, Rani felt more comfortable because her lover's friend who she thought was friendly, how not Rani who just knew him already

colonized.

“Rani, here!” It was Rafi who called him to join Rani in the kitchen just a short distance away

one meter from where it is now.

“I went there first yes,” say goodbye Rani on Tama who has been seen tuning her guitar

any more.

Upon Rani's arrival in the kitchen Rafi immediately greeted him by giving a knife and cutting board.

“Mir, you have to know my girl is really cool,” Rafi said to the middle Mira

apply the seasoning on the fish to be burned.

Mira smiles in response, while Rani only follows Rafi who has led her to the place where the spices have been scattered in the kitchen table.

“Rani you made the soy sauce huh? I really like sambel make you because,”

pinta Rafi's.

Not a difficult thing for Rani to make soy sauce sambal, just need red onions, tomatoes, chili, soy sauce, and a little lemon juice is very delicious, but whether friends Rafi will like it.

“Your other friends on like not the same sambal kecap?” ask Rani to make sure.

“Please Ran, they are all garbage cans really, so what should be eaten,” said Mira

who realizes Rani's doubts.

Rani nodded, “Oke I made the link yes.”

“OK darling. I go out first yes, want to see where the mangosteen is ready what is not.”

Rafi passes leaving Rani and Mira.

At first the two remained silent until Juwita came to open the conversation, there were many things

I want you to ask Rani.

“Rani by the way you already know Rafi from when?” askinya to the point.

Rani started cutting the onion she had peeled earlier, “Maybe less

over two years.”

“Wow old too yes, but why he just recognized you now yes. The same story you ever told

no Mir?” tanya Juwita who this time turned to Mira.

Mira raises her shoulders, “Not tuh.”

“Or because she still likes you huh?” juwita asked lightly without paying attention

rani's Existence.

“Lo if you say do not carelessly dong, there is also Rani,” said Mira firmly.

“Eh sorry yes Rani, because they are SMA time ever dating. Mira until now

not dating again,” kekeh Juwita.

Rani who heard the fact was confused what to give a reaction, the article is indeed

from earlier Mira looked at him in a different way from the others, Rafi also did not

ever told his mass with Mira.

“Lo really-yes Juwita, can not be diem!” Sentak Mira's.

“My email is wrong? Kan lo himself who said still can not escape Rafi,” said

Juwita again that further ignites the emotions of his interlocutor.

Rani is getting clumsy, what should she do especially if two women are

with him at this time. Rani had not yet spoken her words

someone came out from behind the kitchen door.

“On why? Even noisily. I've been waiting for tuh, the fish,” said Tama who looks a little upset.

Rani was grateful in her heart, luckily there was Tama so she didn't have to bother

write words to break them.

But Rani can not lie now she thinks about Mira and Rafi who turned out to have a relationship, although it has passed anyway especially Mira who still has no lover until now.

Rani is busy thinking about how

if it turns out to be true that Mira still has feelings for Rafi, does Rani

it could be silent pretending not to know, as well as how he will ask

to Rafi, what if her lover was angry because Rani was harassing the time

his past.

As Rani was confused by the various questions in her mind someone held her hand

almost got a knife.

“Rani, careful. You don't daydream if you're holding a knife.”

Rani realized, it was true that a little more sharp knife would cut her rations. Then he

moving on to someone who is currently right next to him.

“Tama, how are you here?”
