Never A Stranger

Never A Stranger
Self-prepared


"Huwaaa" Riri wriggled on her bed.


Already at 08.00 am, Riri just woke up at this time on his day off, Riri did not want to go anywhere today because he had to prepare to take the final exam, the end of the semester, he plans to stay home and study.


"Wake up?" ask her mother who entered the room


Mother opened the window of Riri's room so that fresh air could enter, mother also told Riri to immediately go down for breakfast.


After washing her face and brushing her teeth, Riri went downstairs to meet her father and mother at the dinner table.


"For the sake of well" Riri said to her father who was reading the newspaper.


"Bagy morning" replied father.


Riri helps her mother prepare some food at the dinner table.


"Son Elisha's coming home, isn't he at the end of the year?" ask Riri who can't wait to meet her brother.


"Yes after finishing his exam, he's going home" replied the father who was still reading the newspaper, Riri nodded.


"Well.. Later this year Riri wants to go hiking with Maya and others" Riri said asking for permission.


"Hm.. Yeah, just go, but if you can take Aldo with you"


"Why take Aldo?" ask Riri.


"Are you sure you can go without a guide?" dad said right, there's no way Riri and her friends can go if they're just girls.


"Aldo was hiking a lot before. So, he will know how the route" added Riri's father, Riri also agreed to invite Aldo later.


After finishing breakfast, Riri rushed to the room again to study. Before opening the book, he looked at his phone for a moment to see if anyone contacted him or not.


Apparently there's. It was Fajri..


He replied to Riri's chat yesterday, "You're joining the reunion later this year?" That's how the chat reply is. Riri immediately replied, he said that he had an event with his college friends later this year.


"Well.." Fajri who seems disappointed Riri will not come. Why he was disappointed anyway.


Riri who does not want to bother ignoring the chat from Fajri, dealing with the past is not fun at all, let alone he is Fajri.


Riri continued her studies. He didn't want to just think about Fajri, so he didn't pass the test.


Until 1 pm Riri finished her studies, Mother asked Riri to go to the minimarket near their house to buy something. Riri obeyed his mother because he was also joining after studying for hours.


**at Minimarket**


Riri accidentally meets Rendy outside the minimarket, a coincidence.


"Hai Riri" said Rendy.


"Hello bang, why is it here?" sapa Riri's back.


"Oh.. That's.. I bought something here, I just happened to be through here" replied Rendy reasoned. Riri felt that Rendy had come here on purpose.


"What did you buy?" Rendy asked back.


"I want to buy goods ordered by my mother, then I enter first ya bang" replied Riri while entering the minimarket.


Riri looked for the item her mother told her to buy, after which she headed to the cashier to pay. When Rendy's minimarket exit was still there, she seemed to be waiting for Riri.


"How come Rendy hasn't left yet?" riri asked as she exited the minimarket door.


"Waiting for you" he answered.


"waiting me? Why?" Riri asked not understanding why Rendy was waiting for him.


"Ah.. That's.. Can't we just chat ri?" asked Rendy to take Riri for a chat.


"What about?"


"It's not about anything, just chatting" said Rendy hoping Riri received his invitation.


"Yes it can, but I have to deliver my order immediately" replied Riri.


"Then just deliver your mother's order first, I'll wait here" Rendy still insisted on chatting with Riri, I don't know what she wanted to talk about.


"Okay well, I'll be right back" Riri agreed.


Riri steps away from there, she gives her mother stuff first then goes to the room for a bit. He wears perfume and also a little powder along with liptint. When he went to the stall he did not wear anything because he did not expect to meet with Rendy.


After finishing improving a little, Riri went down to catch up with Rendy who was waiting for her at the minimarket


"Have you?" Rendy asked as Riri arrived, Riri nodded.


They drove Rendy's car to a regular cafe near campus. They sat down and ordered food. Since Riri had eaten, she only ordered drinks. So did Rendy who only ordered drinks.


"What's the end of the year you have?" ask Rendy.


"I plan to go hiking with my friends" Riri replied to Rendy's question.


"really? That must be exciting!" said Rendy who also seems to like hiking.


"Well, Rendy won't come with us?" tanya Riri invites Rendy to join.


"You know, but unfortunately I also have an event later this year" replied Rendy.


"What way?"


"Later this year our family will go to Switzerland to celebrate the anniversary of the marriage of father and mother" explained Rendy.


"Oh so yes" Riri who looked disappointed Rendy could not come with them.


"Actually I wanted to invite you to ri" said Rendy.


"Yes, my mother told me to take you. Mom said she liked being with you. But unfortunately you also have an event, gapapa lah!" rendy explained.


"really so? Sorry about bang.. That's because I made an appointment with them first, I can't possibly deny it right" Riri said apologizing for feeling guilty.


"Ahh gapapa ri just relax"


"Tell her mother bang Rendy also yes if Riri is very sorry not to be able to join" continued Riri.


"Yes, I'll tell you later, you just continue your show with your friends, don't think too much about this!" rendy calms Riri down so as not to feel too guilty.


"Yes, thank you"


Their orders came to the table. Riri who was watching the cafe employee walked towards them accidentally saw someone at another table. The man also noticed Riri.


He is Fajri..


Riri who realized that instantly turned her face away. Rendy also realizes that Riri is hiding her face from someone.


"What did you see?" Ask Rendy.


"Eh no kok bang" Riri was embarrassed that Rendy realized this.


Riri is so confused what he should do after knowing Fajri is here, Fajri also every time he notices Riri.


Shortly after, Riri received a message. It was a message from Fajri, he said "Have fun! I'm glad to see you happy like that!". Riri was shocked, he immediately looked at Fajri, it turns out Fajri has gone from there.


Riri was confused about what Fajri said, why he suddenly said that. Does he still like Riri? After all what right he had to be happy to see Riri happy.


"Why are you ri?" Tanya Bagas saw Riri was too focused on her phone.


Riri immediately threw his cellphone shirt "Gapapa kok bang, this is only a task in college, sorry yes" said Riri gave an excuse.


"Oh, what's the task that hard?" ask Rendy


"What?"


"You were like a confused person when you saw a cellphone" Rendy said explaining what Riri had done earlier.


"Oh really? Ahhe.. Sorry bang, that must be because I was too focused to look like a confused person" Riri gave an excuse again.


While talking to Rendy, Riri became unfocused after meeting with Fajri just now.


"Your friends go hiking anyone?" ask Rendy.


"Abang remind my friends who are acquaintances of yesterday? Those who follow. Then the next day my father told me to take Aldo, until now it was just that" replied Riri explained.


"Who's Aldo?" ask Rendy curiously.


"Oh that, that's my cousin's brother" replied Riri, Rendy agreed.


"Bang Rendy knows Dwi's brother and Nadin's brother?" ask Riri about the two sisters he just met.


"Oh them, you know.." Of course Rendy knows, after all we're all one major.


"You know that tomorrow's semester has a makrab event?" ask Rendy while providing information.


"What's that bang?" Riri who did not know about the event asked.


"It was like a night of familiarity. So, later there will be some events that will be made by the committee for you new students" explained Rendy.


"For one college?" ask Riri again.


"No, the event was for the department. So, maybe in our department is different again with other majors" continued Rendy explained.


"Oh yeah, I got scared"


"Why afraid? The show is fun.. Usually you will be told to get acquainted with the level brothers, there is a music event as well, there is even a meal" continued Rendy.


"Means there are also dong lecturers?"


Rendy laughed, "It could be if you invite the lecturer, but so far there has never been a lecturer who came to the makrab event, because it's special intimacy level brother and sister level only" Rendy answered Riri's question.


"Riri just knew there was a loh bang like that" said Riri plain.


"Sure, you just entered the world of college. Actually in this lecture there are so many events that you can join" said Rendy gave information.


"What kind of an eight?"


"Just a lot, if explained one-on-one there will be no end, which you obviously wait for the events tomorrow. Now you are still new so you are still not informed of the event" added Rendy.


"Hm so yes, btw thanks loh bang has been giving information for me so far" said Riri thank you.


"Ahh just relax, after all sharing knowledge is also necessary" said Rendy.


"Yes bang"


They finish their drink, after which Rendy drives Riri home.


At home, Riri went straight to her room because of her feelings of sadness, she seemed to worry about something but did not know what she was worried about. He looked at the screen of his phone, the message from Fajri never returned, he just ignored the message.


Riri contacted her friends asking back their plans later this year. Riri contacted the four of them.


"Where are you guys, so we're not hiking after the exam?" ask Riri in the group.


"So dong.. We have been planning so far, if not so disappointed dong" reply Maya.


Others also reply to the same, that their plans for hiking should be so.


After informing her friends for a while Riri then continues her studies for the exam tomorrow. He hopes that the test results will be as satisfying as his efforts to study..


Seriate..
