My Friend is the Nearby
Chapter 4

It's not a relationship that goes well. Their first year of dating was always communication and news. Until finally at the end of the 3rd semester they vacationed in Bandung. Although 2 months off, but they only vacation together 2 days, and even with some other friends.

Until entering the 4th semester lecture, Abyan suddenly lost news. Only occasionally greeting through messages on social media. Funny, like not just dating people, more precisely ngenes anyway, hehe.

Arumi was not surprised, even expecting this to happen. I don't know why Abyan is. Is there another woman close to him? Ah, I don't know.. Too tired of guessing things that pollute the mind and mood alone.

Whether he has the courage from where, when Arumi spent the weekend in Bogor to go to a Waterfall, he chose to drift to Abyan's house. Yes, he knew Abyan's house since Junior High because his father was a teacher at that time.

Luckily when he reached his home it turned out that Abyan was fit again to go home too. He was still asleep until Arumi himself woke Abyan with permission from his mother.

"By, get up by" Arumi said as she shook Abyan's shoulder

Abyan who felt familiar with his voice but was quite foreign in his home immediately rubbed his eyes to wake up.

"Hallo, By. Still want to sleep?" asked Arumi smiling

"Darling, are you here? Is this really you?" asked Abyan to make sure

"No, it's a shadow!" arumi laughed

"Lord... I'm so miss.. Sorry I love you" Abyan said, smiling at Arumi's hand

"Its okay, it's okay. Awake yuk. It's not good with your mom when she's in the room" said Arumi smiling

To be honest he missed, he was quite happy when he came to his house just as Abyan was returning home. However, he will not discuss why it suddenly disappeared. I can only smile when I talk to him.

"Where are you going so early in the morning?" asked Mama Abyan who was preparing a snack

"Damate, tan.. Not tired looking who seger-seger" he replied with a smile

"Like to play to nature, huh?"

"Hehee, yes.. Seger Ijo - ijo. Especially if you take a shower at the waterfall"

"Yaudah, at first eat the snack. While waiting for Abyan to take a shower, is it okay if the aunt who was talking?" mama Abyan said as she asked

"What a dong tan.. This is me even taking nicotine early in the morning here" said Arumi

"Yes not dong.. Abyan is also home. Last night just until home, discharged anther his cousin to Bandung" explained mama Abyan

"Where is Arumi going to college, right? Is it the same semester as Abyan?" mother Abyan asked

"Oh pantes rich tired. It's not a semester" the answer is short

"Hayo, talk to me again?" asked Abyan who had finished bathing immediately grabbed a snack made by her mother

"Well, when do you want to talk to your neighbor's son to Arumi? Gossip dong" answered his mother

"Yee mama can do it" said Abyan

"Ma, I take Arumi out first yes" continued Abyan asking for permission

Finally they go on a motorcycle that Arumi drives from his home.

During the trip, Abyan looked at Arumi through the rearview mirror that he directed to look directly at Arumi's face. Meanwhile, Arumi who is quite salting even enjoy the scenery on the left side of the road which is quite refreshing.

Yes, the road from Abyan's house to natural attractions is indeed quite quiet, not crowded like in the city. Because it has entered the mountain area also so very cool and comfortable to enjoy.

Until finally Abyan pulled over the motorbike at a cafe with a natural scenery that was quite pampering the eyes. He knows, at this time it takes a lot of tension that they need to get because indeed long enough they do not meet even interact intensely. In addition, because Arumi's mood is often not good, he must make this meeting a calming moment.

Arumi did not complain. Because he knew Abyan couldn't possibly not know what he was feeling. Just according. Until sitting on the right bench to enjoy the view also chatted casually with him.

"What time are you home?" asked Abyan to open the chat

"Hour six" he answered briefly

"Cepet loh just an hour and a half" Abyan said

"Yes, the streets are still deserted" he said again

"Great feeling you are so strong until you know I am home" Abyan said again

"Ising was belokin. Eh coincidence yes" he replied with a wry smile

Yes, he felt so sad not intense news until he had to samperin to his distant home here.

"Sorry" Abyan said

"For?"

"For my attitude towards you" Abyan replied

"What are you doing to me?" ask Arumi back

"Yes, I'm missing the news. Not nemenin your days even if just sending a message or phone call" replied Abyan

"It's okay, it's okay. I thought this was gonna happen. And I have done enough to set my heart" replied Arumi bitterly

"Well, I'll make you sad again" Abyan said

"I don't have a problem, brother. I was the one who chased you. So, even after intense news and then missing the news, yes it's okay. I have set my heart. I won't even ask you where? You why? Are you angry with me? What am I wrong? No, I won't ask you. I quite enjoyed the time we met, the time we were preaching, even the time we separated, either temporarily or forever, I enjoyed" explained Arumi who managed to shed her tears

"No, honey. Not forever. It's temporary. Because we will be together forever" said Abyan who immediately embraced Arumi.

It hurts to see Arumi crying because of her. But he won't give an explanation now. Let everything pass as it should, as Arumi said.

"Oh yeah, don't cry. I miss you. Even if you have to fight to meet" Abyan said after Arumi broke her embrace

"OK." answered Arumi briefly

Their orders came.

Confused actually, because it was at home Abyan had eaten a snack made by his mother. Go straight to the cafe. Finally, Arumi decided to order a cold coffee.

Unplanned meetings are usually very impressive. And this is what they feel now. Enjoy the beauty of nature that can make the heart and mind calm. Joking around, chatting whatever can be talked about. Longs. That's what he feels together. And no one can deny it for the fun of being together right now.
