Our Story: The Sudden Chancellery
29. Jomblo Lo?

Viani's face loomed. His brain and mind are at war, arguing that deciding between shadows is an optical illusion or just wrong people.

Ah, Gala is curious. He turned around and tried to follow Viani.

Just in the second step, Gala's body came to a halt when a hand finally pulled her in reality.

“Minsip Gemma huh? Still bucin lo sampe now?” shoot Niko without aling-aling.

“Bucin?”

“Slave love.. gaol term now. So it was TKI anyway. Come on, if I'm selese, I'm back. Then you also buy happy meal until two boxes. Vincent's son SD?”

“Ya lo kaga says that it's only for Elvina doang!” Gala almost caught Niko. “Gue mo home. Anter me now!”

“As you wish, boss!”

“Mas Gala, guest!”

Gala frowned when she suddenly woke up from her beautiful slumber. His eyes slowly opened and found that the clock had shown at 8 p.m.

“Who, Bik?” tanya Gala is sleepy.

“Temen Mas Gala are all below,” said Bik Yana who immediately disappeared after reporting. Bik Yana already looks old, there is a lot of gray hair in her hair at the age of almost 60 years, but she is still very fit.

Lazily, Gala lowered her legs, put on a white t-shirt, then walked out of the room. From the end of the stairs, Gala raised her eyebrows next door when she saw a tall, slightly fat, distended stomach and almost bald head sitting next to an adult woman whom Gala believed was Diana.

From the kitchen, Bik Yana came to bring drinks and snacks for them.

After approaching the man, he realized that it was his own friend, Febri. Its good looks erode with age. Unlike her husband, Diana looks more fresh and more contained. But Febri's distended stomach proves that he is really well taken care of by his wife. How envious Gala is…

“Man, my gosh I almost don't know ama lo," Gala said staring at Febri in disbelief.

“Sial ..” maki Febri suddenly.

“Why?”

“Lo why not get fat too anyway like me and Niko!”

Gala's laughter echoed throughout the room. “Gue must take care of the body. You've done well, I belom!”

“Yee .. Lo is rich, a girl who nyari lo, not a lo who nyari chick. The former lo aja has moved on from a long time ago,” chirped Febri.

Gala immediately stopped laughing. She was silent for a while as she recalled Niko also saying the same thing earlier this afternoon.

“Napa. Can't move on yet?” ask Febri to know.

Uncomfortably, Gala sat down while crossing her legs. “How is Gemma, Di?”

“It looks good anyway..His son one, girl, still lives in Jakarta. Doi became a housewife, not much out of the house,” said Diana while drinking a drink provided by Bik Yana. His face seemed not very interested when talking about Gemma.

“Kok? Is that how it is?”

Diana's facial features changed, her jaws stiffened. “What other news do you want to know? I rarely talk about Gemma.”

“Loh why? Isn't it on sahabatan?”

“His husband is very possessive. Not even my way, my chat is also rarely answered. Difficult anyway. I don't know anything about him at all.

Even when we married, three years ago, you could not come because of graduation S2 lo, he also did not come! What kind of temen. Very disappointed in me, original ..”

Gala's eyebrows swoop down upon hearing how changed Gemma's life was after she got married. There is so much he has missed in 15 years. The marriage of Febri and Diana, the birth of Elvina, and also the marriage of his cousin Paul's only son named Felix.

“Lo why are you back now?” asked Febri who found his friend look dreamy with a frown position.

“Hmm? Oh .. I want to go back. Paul wants to retire, he said.”

“That's free?”

“What else is it?”

Gala only chuckles when Febri makes her feelings for Gemma a joke. Yes want to be flanked again? Should he be offended by this little thing? No one can make Gemma come back to her or cancel a Gemma wedding that looks unhealthy.

“Your mouth is, Pah! Not funny!” gerutu Diana who now calls Febri with the name “Pah”.

“Udah changed this call, not Ayang Bebep anymore like alay?” the Gala Goda avenged Febri and Diana.

Febri smiled sweetly while fusing her forehead with Diana's forehead for a few seconds. “Diana's pregnant! 4 Months now!"

Gala's naughtiness came to a halt with a face sparkling in disbelief. That friend? His wife is pregnant? They were married for three years and there was no sign that they would have children.

I swear, now that Gala is envious, they will soon be complete. Although it sounded cliche, Gala also wanted to be like that, like Niko and Febri. Work, have a family, have children and a wife .. ah!

It feels mixed now. By looking at the whereabouts of his current friends, inevitably a painful memory reappears.

It was so hard to get back here. The departure of his mother, Bobby and also the breakdown of his relationship with Gemma really made a deep impact, giving a gaping wound in the heart of Gala who until now still has not healed as well.

He's having too much fun out there. Various forms of escape he had done, but still could not remove the shadow of the woman.

“Di .. I'm glad to see you all. Congratulations on your pregnancy, and your promotion to. Good achievement..” Gala said sincerely while drinking her drink.

“Thanks .. But unfortunately, my friend has never achieved anything,” whispered Diana as Febri went ahead to greet Niko with her family.

“Gue tau lo still can not move on from Gemma.. If there is still unfinished between lo same Gemma, better selesein. I as his friend feel sorry for him. His heart is not right, his marriage is also like a strange.”

“Emang she was all about it?”

“Gue does not know, but from the outside it is too tired if the Gemma is not okay aja.”

Gala nodded then smiled. “Now, I don't think that's a good idea, Di. Masa’ you told me to call a bunch of people. Weirdo to lo!”

“Gue would rather see Gemma equal lo than her same husband now. Even though I know a little bit, but I can see how Gemma is a very different person. Remember how bright Gemma was when you were?

She's smart, beautiful, good at guitar, popular too... Before you, she was like a running refrigerator, you know?! His future is bleak. Once you come, he has a dream, people know his name and what his skills are.

“Bah now? He didn't even go to college, didn't work, didn't do anything! There is nothing accomplished for himself.

I want to live my life, at 25, I'm already a member, and you know? Erika, so good at cooking and making cakes, she has a fast-growing pastry business. And Gemma? None! I'm sad to see him so..”

Somehow Gala now feels responsible for everything that has happened to Gemma. Is she so happy with her marriage? Is Gemma never allowed to do something for herself?

“Entahlah, Di... want anywhere, it's not my business anymore.” Although he sounded confident, he could not cover up if his heart was bitter.

Diana gave a rough sigh. If her best friend was still not pregnant at the time, she would have dragged Gemma everywhere, to hell with her husband! Diana would take him to college, work, or the military like her.

Whatever it is, Gemma's origin is not like this, considering her marriage is really a compulsion. Diana thought that Gemma's husband would not restrain her, but she was completely mistaken. Gemma seems to move from one hell to another.

However, Gala was right, Diana shouldn't have interfered with what had been decided from the beginning. That Gemma had chosen the man because she had a commitment to her son.

Before long, Febri and Niko enter with Erika. They also chatted together and told stories about various things that happened during the Gala was not here.

“Lo single?” asked Erika who was curious.

“Yes, mang napa?” ask Gala. “Mo nyariin?”

“Many of my friends are single.”

“Drop number here..” Gala said sound relaxed when sent Erika link insta**am her single friends. She's single, right? Of course he should be open to all occasions.

But when he was engrossed in stalking instagram one of Erika's friends who is a famous model, a pop up message entered in the social media application with a green round logo.

Gala's eyes rounded as wide as she read the message she didn't expect at all.

[Die, Honey. I miss you... I’m going to Jakarta tomorrow. You gotta pick me up, okay? I have a surprise for you, Babe!]

Gala cursed in her heart. The woman followed him here? Damnit damnit!
