Never A Stranger
THE PAST STORY THAT NEVER ENDS

Riri walked towards the second gate of the campus after parking his motorbike.

"Riri" called someone, Riri looked around looking for the source of the voice.

"Hi Bella" said Riri after seeing Bella who called him.

The two of them walked towards the classroom, their class was on the second floor. Arriving in class there were not many people in the class, only a few people, Riri and Bella decided to sit in the middle seat together.

"Hallo my friend" a girl enters class with a centile, she greets everyone making all eyes on her.

"Hey do you think it's cute?" say one of the girls in the backseat.

Riri looked back to see the girl, she was a very sad girl it turned out, her facial expression was very scary. Instantly the centile girl immediately sat in her chair while nagging.

"Why hasn't Maya arrived yet?"

"Entah, usually Maya is the one ontime anyway, during the test yesterday she came the earliest to the house of ayu" explained Bella.

"Are you guys testing together yesterday?" ask Riri.

"Yes we were together, ayu introduced me to Maya" replied Bella.

"You guys told me about me?" Maya comes in front of both of them.

"Tumben is late"

"Tag? this is still not an entry hour" said Maya.

"You usually come before people" Bella continued.

"Ah that's because today I'm very busy, my sister just entered SD so I drove her first" explained Maya.

"Oh so, it's a pity that today there are no classes" said Riri.

"It seems that in the afternoon he has class, it means that we can play first before going home" Maya continued

Riri looked at Bella, Bella just smiled. Riri who feels bad about what Bella said yesterday asked Bella if she could come because Bella had previously said that she should be at home at certain hours.

"Bel, how are you? what happens if you're not home at 2?" ask Riri.

"Ahh that, actually it only applies if there is no class, today there will be classes until noon so it doesn't matter if I don't go home at that hour, there is an important business"

"my first sister, she's in 2nd grade High School so she also understands how to take care of the family, to cook she can too" Bella continued.

The bella family is really a family that understands each other, they are not selfish for that. His father had succeeded in educating his children to be independent and obedient children.

.

Because they are new students so for the next week the class will only hold name introductions or material introductions, so they are not too busy for the first week.

After class, it was like their plan was to hang out somewhere

"Eh how about today we go to my house, my grandmother just came from the village, a lot of snacks brought by grandma" Maya bargained with the three of them.

"Ohya? your grandmother must have not come for a long time" said Riri

"Hooh, but how can you know ri" asked Maya.

"That's because my grandmother also so, rarely come but once came bring a lot of snacks from the village" replied Riri cheerful.

"Your grandparents are so engrossed as it seems" bella added.

"My mother's grandmother died a long time ago, if the grandmother of her father was very arrogant, she did not like granddaughters so she never visited us" Ayu said afterwards.

"It looks like your grandmother's family still holds a tight heiress to men huh?" Riri found out about what happened to Ayu because she did too.

"My dad's grandmother used to be, she didn't want granddaughters. However, something unexpected happened" continued Riri.

"Whatis that? Is that a great tragedy?" ask Bella.

"Yes, when my mother gave birth to the first child it turned out to be a boy, but unfortunately the child could not be saved" replied Riri.

"That means you have brother also ri" said Maya, Riri nodded.

"But thank God your grandmother could be aware of the ri because of the incident" Ayu looked sad because her grandmother was like no other grandmother.

"You don't have to be sad, yu, it's not time he realized. One day your grandmother would understand that wanting a man or a woman is not a problem, sometimes other people are very difficult to get offspring" said Riri.

They both embrace ayu to calm him, the four of them are very affectionate with each other, they are always open and do not hide anything between them.

.

**home Maya**

The four of them entered the house and said their greetings, the Maya family was gathered in the middle room. There is a father, mother, sister and grandmother Maya, the first brother Maya is working and this hour is not home, while the second brother is also not home

"Yes Allah dok you have been very big, have long time grandmother did not meet you" said grandmother Maya while hugging tightly Maya and stroking Maya's head, what a beautiful sight.

"So I miss my grandmother too"

"Oiya nek Maya also invited Maya's friends" said Maya afterwards.

"Ohh cah ayu" said the grandmother as she walked over to them. They shake hands with their grandmothers and do not forget to introduce themselves, besides that they also shake hands with Maya's father, mother, brother and sister.

"Well, your mother called to tell you to stay here until tomorrow, they will be overtime today and bi Ijah also returned home" said Maya's mother gave information, Ayu was previously close to the Maya family because they were friends from Junior High

"yes Aunty ayu here"

They talk to the Maya family about many things, then after that Maya invites them to her room because it is not good to see them can not be free, too, if talking to parents is different from talking to friends, talking to their parents using polite language, if with mah babas friends want to say how.

.

"Please eat a snack from the grandmother" bargained Maya, they began to enjoy snacks Maya grandmother.

Tok tock.. Someone opened the door to Maya's room.

"Why?" maya asked cynically when the person just showed her face, she was the second virtual brother. But nevertheless..

"Oh bang Miko" said Riri who knew the person she saw.

"Riri?" Miko also knows Riri

"You know each other?" ask Maya

"Of course, bang Miko used to be my sister at Garuda High School" replied Riri, the three of them were flabbergasted.

"Wah Riri did not expect to meet you here, and you could be friends with him" said Miko while pointing at Maya.

"Whatchu mean? Why would Riri be friends with me, huh?"

"That's not it, I mean why he wants to be friends with an ugly girl like you" Miko said. That's how brothers and sisters sometimes they don't get along but it's just a joke, behind it when one of them is bullied or in the becandain others of course they do not accept.

"I'm friends with beautiful people means I'm beautiful too" Maya replies in her defense.

"It's too piquant.. Look at them! they're all beautiful, then you?" said Miko who still mocked her sister.

"out! out!" tell Maya while throwing a pillow at Miko, the three of them just smiled at the behavior of the two sisters.

"See Riri" said Miko as she opened the door to Maya's room, making Maya scream calling her mother like complaining, the three of them laughed at Maya's behavior which was also spoiled.

"OMF.. Riri why are you so popular that many know you" praise ayu after.

"Yes right, it looks like you are in the category of girls who are targeting men first" added bella.

Riri blushed with their praise "ah what do you mean, I'm not that popular really, I only know a few and only a few also know me" said Riri.

"Eiyy is not possible, you are too low" said Bella not sure with Riri's explanation.

"Btw how do you know my brother Ri? though he was ugly like it was not popular either" asked Maya.

Riri laughed "your branch is not bad, I know him because he had dated my close friend in High School" explained Riri.

"Oh so yes, but still it turns out that there is a girl who wants to be as unemployed as she is" Maya still mocked her brother even though his brother was not there, the three of them laughed to see Maya.

.

"Why come again?" Miko appeared again in front of them

"Wouldn't I be disrespectful if I didn't meet one more of your beautiful friends" Miko said, staring at Bella.

This time Maya could not ban him "yes already know aja sono!" maya said with her cynical face, Miko shook hands with Bella to get acquainted with each other.

"If I were told to choose between these three friends, I might not be able to choose" Miko said afterwards

"Whatchu mean? my friend isn't for an ugly guy like you" Maya said.

"Hey ugly, ngaca sono! you're even uglier than me" led Miko Back, Maya sneers at Miko.

"Riri, how's Desi doing?" ask Miko to Desi after teasing Maya.

"Oh, he's good.. Now we have not met again because he moved the city" replied Riri.

"I know, I'm going after him again"

"If she wants to be with you she won't killusin you, self-conscious so" led Maya.

"At least I've been dating than you've never been" Miko replied, Riri and Bella looked at Maya because they just found out, it is appropriate that when they discuss the issue of their relationship Maya was just silent, of course Ayu already knew that because she had been friends with Maya for a long time.

"Dating is not an obligation so it does not make us enter them huu" said Maya defended herself, Miko nodding like mocking her sister. In the end it was still Maya who was emotionally telling Miko to come out again.

"Well you have a boyfriend?" ask Miko.

"Why with bang Miko today seems to be very happy" said ayu to divert the conversation.

"I don't know, I'd actually like to ask Bella your friend, but I'm ashamed to say it"

"Huekk" said Maya who was disgusted by her brother's behavior.

"Btw Riri, you know that Dio seniormu in the campus, even you guys are in line" Miko said giving information, hearing Miko's words the three of them mute because they did not feel good to Bella.

"Why is this silence?" miko asked, realizing that.

"Eh no, that's why I know. Yesterday also had time to meet with him" replied Riri while watching Bella who lowered her head.

"You should have given her a chance back then" Miko's statement left them all shocked, Maya trying to code Miko. Bella had already started to raise her face after hearing that.

"What does that mean?" bella asked Miko, the three of them were anxious and did not know what to do, the atmosphere became very frozen and stiff.

"Dio used to be so eager..."

"wanted to join the English communicator" said Riri quickly cut off Miko's conversation, it makes Miko shocked and wonder why Riri cut off the conversation.

"Oh really? it sounds good" added the groggy Maya to melt the atmosphere and try to divert the conversation, Ayu has started to realize that something is happening and they both do not tell Ayu because they are afraid that Bella will find out and then get angry with them.

"It's like communication e e e e community means, bang Dio wants to join but the English language is not too good so I do not give the opportunity" said Riri brick and gerogi.

"Are you the chairman of ri?" ask Bella again

"Yes right I'm the leader of his community"

"Wah the community is very great ri, it's true that yes it should be experienced people who can break down" added Ayu who had begun to realize.

Bella was silent after that, while Miko was also amazed by their stories

"Oh well if so excuse me first, see you all" said Miko then stood up to leave Maya's room.

Finally they feel relieved Miko did not make it to Bella, they hope that Bella does not realize that they are lying.

At 15:30, as usual Bella said goodbye to go home first because she had to cook for dinner, she did not want to let her sister cook alone, meanwhile, Riri says that he will come home later and Ayu will stay overnight.

"Luckily, it was not a royality" said Maya after Bella came home, they both stroked the chest.

"You're hiding something from me?" ask ayu who does not know her secret.

"Sorry Yu, yesterday we wanted to tell you but you're always close to Bella, we didn't have a chance to tell you" Riri explained.

"Yes I know that, but Maya and I always leave together why don't you tell me to try?" Ayu was getting upset with both of them.

"You are still a lumberjack yu kayak first, yaudah anyway now we will tell you" replied Maya calmly.

"not that may, fortunately I did not follow the kepo, if you can not bang Miko talk directly in front of Bella"

"Iya may Ayu has a point as well, but we can not blame each other as well heck yu" said Riri calming.

"I'm sorry, what happened?"

"it'seee.." Riri hesitates to start her story

"Gini.. Dio is not just senior Riri time High School, but gebetan" explained maya.

"uh?"

"The point is that Dio likes Riri but Riri gatau if Dio likes him, my brother might think Dio has invited Riri to date so he said that Riri does not give him a chance" continued Maya.

"I just found out that bang Dio had a girlfriend first, he was popular and known to be very difficult to get into girls, one of the reasons girls like him is also because he is single, difficult to get" riri explained.

"It seems I know the reason" ayu seemed to wake up after hearing the explanation of the two of them, "you know that during the time Bella and bang Dio were dating his name was not Dio but Alwi, it means maybe she doesn't want her popularity to decline because she has a boyfriend, it's like.."

"k-pop idols?

"Well yes, if he's dating, he'll most likely be insulted and hated by his fans"

"But it also makes no sense yu, if that's why he likes Riri?, wouldn't it be a problem too?, even everyone knows that he likes Riri, but everyone knows that he likes Riri, like my brother earlier, he thought that Dio had invited Riri out" Maya argued.

"That could happen, it's because your brother and bang Dio were friends, they were a gang in High School, it could be because of that he hid that bang Dio likes someone" Riri expressed his opinion.

"But I wonder if that's the case why he didn't say he had a girlfriend instead of asking someone out and being rejected? Doesn't that make his image even more down" Ayu added.

"True..after all what to be ashamed of Bella?, she is beautiful and also very perfect" said Riri while thinking.

"What about you?" ask Maya to Riri

"What?"

"I mean.. You are also beautiful and perfect ri, surely that can also be used as a reason"

"I told you I wasn't as pretty or as popular as you think I was, I'm famous just because I used to be an OSIS member, that's all. Truss my friend Desi is dating bang Miko, bang Miko has a gang whose contents are mostly popular seniors and it makes me know some of them, including bang Dio" Riri explained.

They both believe Riri's explanation, but seen from wherever Riri is beautiful, so he cannot also reason that he is known only to the extent because of the reason he was a member of OSIS

"What if by asking bang Miko?" ayu advice

"About what?"

"About why bang Dio faked his identity, surely bang Miko knows that".

"Eiyy you know yu, he won't want to tell me if the problem, besides I just found out he has a gang called by Riri earlier. Have you ever seen him bring his friend home?, he is really a bodouamatan".

"Maybe I can ask" Riri said.

"Seriously?"

"Yes, I have an idea to use Desi. You heard him himself say that he will pursue Desi again, it means he needs Desi contact, while all his sosmeds have been blocked by Desi. So, it means he needs me, if he doesn't want to say it I can threaten him with it" Riri explained his idea.

"Well that's a good idea ri" they both agree with Riri's idea.

"Why did my brother and Desi break up?" ask Maya.

"You seriously don't know anything about your brother's romance?"

"Not so, he only ever brought his girlfriend home once, so I think it's still okay, uh wait but the name of his girlfriend is not Desi deh. Try to remember first! ohiya her name is Luna" explained Maya.

"What?"

"Why? Why are you so surprised" asked Maya who was also shocked to hear Riri scream, as well as ayu who was also shocked.

"Luna is the name of his mistress" replied Riri annoyed.

"What?" this time Maya screamed.

"Woii what's wrong with you guys, my skin until it hurts to hear you yelling since then" lamented ayu who daritadi only heard the two of them.

"Sorry sorry"

"You mean my brother cheated on me with that girl he took home?" ask Maya to make sure again.

"Dammit!!!" riri said annoyed, Maya and Ayu glared in surprise at Riri who let out a dirty word with a face full of anger.

"Ri you're gapapa?" ayu asked worried that Riri was really angry, funny expression and tone Riri immediately turned soft after ayu asked, it made the two of them even more surprised "Oh I gapapa, I said, I'm just acting if one day it happens again" replied Riri while tucking her hair in the ear.

"However this can not be allowed, he does not know what if he has a sister, it could be later I will also be made so by other men" Maya scolded.

"But you never dated" said ayu giving information to Maya, hearing Maya's statement as soon as their laughter exploded.

"Try me once, just for entertainment" suggested Riri.

"You know ri I was the laziest when told chatan, phone, vcan, meeting, let alone told to pebucin. I don't like it" Maya denies snorting her face.

"But you can't live like that anyway" Ayu added.

"Well, now why aren't you dating?" said Maya who attacked ayu back.

"That's because he said we were just breaking up, not breaking up"

"Break? Heyy boy.. Break ga nyampe 1 year old loh" Maya argued.

"What is yu?" ask Riri who knows nothing.

"ee.. it just happened ri, when we were in 2nd grade High School he said he wanted to move cities and asked me not to contact him until he came back, he blng we did not break up just break it" ayu explained.

"What's the reason he asked for a break? I mean he asked you not to contact him, of course there must be a reason" asked Riri again.

"Oh that's said he wants to go to school that can't play mobile at all"

"Pesantren?"

"I didn't ask because he was in a hurry that day to leave"

"You are also stupid" said Maya who regrets Ayu's loyalty.

"yu. if he loves you, he won't ask you to wait, why?. Because you are not married yet, even married people will not be so" said Riri.

"meaning?"

"So gini, there's the phrase 'love it doesn't have to have' if indeed love is true then he will tell you 'I won't force you to wait, but I promise you my arrival. Whether it's us or just me, you can choose who your life's choice will be', he should know you need to be free and not even selfish by asking you to survive with certainty that is not clear as this" continued Riri.

"Did you tell me to betray?"

"However, it's just that we are afraid that your loyalty will be useless" replied Riri.

"True, after all, as Riri said earlier you and he were not married yu" added Maya.

"I know friends, but I've been faithful so far when I quit?, she'll be home by the end of the year and that's when I'll see how she is, she said, if your words are true I promise to leave them" Ayu said with confidence.

"Really's? Are you okay?" " hm, I'm okay"

"Then how about you ri, why did you choose for yourself" asked Ayu.

"Yes, when you are beautiful, there must be many who want to be the same you ri" added Maya .

"ee.. aku.. i.."

Seriate..
