Never A Stranger
Lean Back


They have finished their game, for which they will proceed to the next event which is the peak event of the new year's night. They will watch the fireworks of the new year.


Riri and his other friends stand to wait for the turn of the year by seeing fireworks.


23.59. One more minute the year will change


And fireworks flashed in the night sky at exactly 00:00, they were all cheering watching that.


In the whisper of everyone's screams, Riri is not aware that Fajri is watching him, Fajri smiles to see Riri who is happy watching the fireworks.


Their reunion is over with the end of the fireworks show, they will be home soon.


"Riri you guys want to go home?" Latifa asked suddenly to Riri.


"ee.. That, yes I will be delivered by my brother" replied Riri.


"Who said I'd drive? Sorry Mel, I'm going home in the morning" Megan replied, yawning.


"What do you mean, brother me?" riri asked confusedly.


"Mel I will be here until morning with friends who are still here" Megan replied again, there are indeed some of their friends who still remain here to chat with each other.


"Sister me.."


"Ah.. Fajri" Cut off Riri's conversation by calling Fajri who passed by beside them, Riri became even more confused.


"What's wrong?" ask Fajri


"You're going home, right?"


"Yes, why?"


"Then you can take Riri home too" Megan told Fajri.


Riri is shocked to hear Megan's words, "Sister me" said a confused Riri telling Megan to stop.


But Fajri immediately agreed to megan's request


On the other hand Latifa seemed a bit upset when she heard that, but Riri did not notice it.


"Father, I can go home alone later" said Riri refused.


"When later? It's late.. Riri go home with Fajri!" Megan forces Riri home with Fajri.


Riri still refused, but however Riri rejected Megan even more forcing Riri. Finally inevitably, Riri must accept this. He will go home with Fajri.


They both got off the 3rd floor and headed for Fajri's car. The car started driving after the two of them got on.


In the car the atmosphere became awkward, Riri did not dare to say anything.


"ee.. How are you ri?" fajri said he started the conversation.


"Hmm well"


"I heard you got into the farm campus?" asked Fajri again, Riri just nodded.


Fajri thinks Riri still feels disappointed in him, for that he continues to start a chat so that Riri feels comfortable.


"Sorry yes!", said Fajri


Riri turned towards Fajri "For?", asked Riri afterwards.


"For all that has happened" he said again.


"Much has happened, you want to apologize for which one?" Ask Riri.


Fajri turned to Riri and stopped his car on the side of the road. Riri is confused as to why Fajri did that.


"Why should I be disappointed in you?" riri replied casually.


"Honestly ri! You're still angry about what happened back then, right?" Fajri brings up their past.


"Did you stop the car just to bring up the past?" riri said while looking at Fajri.


"You know, right?" fajri asked suddenly when Riri looked at him, he also looked back at Riri.


"You know all about Latifa, right?" asked Fajri again, the question made Riri surprised.


Why does Fajri seem to not know if it was Latifa's fault, he just had an affair with Latifa and why she even asked Riri back.


"What do you mean?" ask Riri back.


"Latifa likes me, you know that and you keep making me your girlfriend, why?" Fajri apparently thinks Riri is the guilty one here.


"What?"


"R.. Do you want to make me an impingement after breaking up with your ex-girlfriend?"


"Why do you think so? You're accusing me of giving you a false love?" Riri's words did not accept Fajri's words.


"It's not ri, you know I love you.. But why do you keep dating me even though you know Latifa likes me, and at that time you just broke up with Bagas" explained Fajri.


"If you love me, you won't cheat with my best friend" Riri said.


Fajri is surprised to see Riri yelling at him, before him Riri was never like this. Riri was a gentle girl when she spoke, but now she was yelling at Fajri instead.


"You misunderstood ri, I didn't cheat on Latifa" Fajri said.


"No cheating? Then what's all that?, you walk with Latifa on my birthday, what's all that?"


"I'm sorry about that day, I actually want to walk with you but I have to be with Latifa" Fajri explained. Fajri's explanation makes no sense to hear.


"What do you mean you have to be with Latifa? You're fooling me now", Riri who is full of emotions is not willing to be treated like that by Fajri.


"You casually said that day that you didn't have time to walk on my birthday, but suddenly I got word you were walking with Latifa" Riri said.


"I was wrong about that, but something happened back then and I didn't tell you" Fajri told Riri.


Riri does not want to hear the absurd reason Fajri again, finally he asked Fajri to immediately drive him home.


The car drove again to Riri's house, in the middle of the trip Fajri was still trying to convince Riri about the incident at that time. However, Riri still did not want to listen to Fajri's explanation.


"Thank you for driving me" Riri said as he got out of the car.


"Ri.." call Fajri stop Riri's steps.


"We forget all that, I know that you and Latifa are very suitable to be together" replied Riri then died Fajri.


Riri actually wants to find out what the reason Fajri did all that, and what is the reason fajri broke up with latifa. However, he was not ready to accept the reality, especially Fajri who did not want to tell the incident he meant had happened on that day to Riri.


After facing a long night, Riri opened his old memory earlier this year. There is a book that looks old and outdated, it seems like the book has existed since 10 years ago. In the book there is also the writing of an SD child.


Who owns the old book? Did Riri?


Riri opened the open and read it again, no matter what the purpose of reading such an old book, in addition to the book there is a photo of 1 little girl who is still sd, but the photo seems to have been torn. It seems that before this photo was torn there was a photo of someone else beside the photo.


Riri began to cry as she read through the book, her tears even dripping on the worn out paper.


As Riri cried she picked up a Halloween card, she looked at him and said "I miss" still shedding tears.


Who does Riri miss? What is Fajri? Or is there someone else who tells the story of his past?


Seriate...
