Over My Cat
Between Friendships

Nobu stared at the ceiling of his room while imagining his life's fate ahead. He felt sad because many things continue to happen to him now. Nobu felt his mind was empty and his life was empty without anyone. Seeing Nobu daydreaming, Julian tried to approach him and rubbed his head. Nobu was too keen and told him, "Geli Julian. Haha.stop."

The scene of Nobu and Julian tickling each other happened, they seemed to enjoy it. Nobu's mind that was gray, became better even a little. Amidst the preoccupation between the two, comes a memory of a friend. Oh yeah, I haven't contacted Kenta yet, Nobu thought. Nobu immediately picked up his mobile phone and started typing a message.

Hi Kenta, how are you? I miss you so much right now, hehe.

After typing what he was about to reveal, Nobu rushed to send it. It took some time for the message to get onto Kenta's phone. While waiting for his friend's reply, Nobu again interacted with Julian. "I want to eat something. Are you Julian too?" ask Nobu.

Nobu decided to go out for a while, buying the cheapest snacks. After getting a few packages of snacks, Nobu turned towards his home. Arriving home, he checked the mailbox again on his phone. There, there was no sign of Kenta replying to Nobu's message. "Um. Maybe it will answer me soon," said Nobu reassured himself.

Sure enough, after a few minutes passed Kenta replied to Nobu's message.

~ Hi, sorry to answer you late. I'm good Nobu, what about you?

Nobu also replied,

~ I'm good too. Thank you for receiving my message.

~ By the way, I just moved to another city Nobu.

~ Uh, why? You moved house?

~ Yes, I live with my cousin. Now, I'm still busy. I'll send you another message later.

Their conversation ended up being interrupted for a moment as Kenta took care of something else. Nobu was back alone with Julian sitting next to him. "Our friend Kenta just moved Julian's house" Nobu said. "Meow..rrr...grrr...meow...rrr.." Nobu replied to Nobu's notice.

Finally, Nobu decided to take Julian for a walk to the backyard. In the backyard, they play with ropes and rubber bundles. Nobu's rubber rolled back as Julian's attention. And for the rope, it moves right, left, and up. Julian who had never played with Nobu, felt very passionate.

Seeing the happiness emanated from Julian's face, Nobu also felt joy. Problems began to slowly fade in his mind and heart. Perhaps, this was the moment Nobu needed to entertain himself. "I love you Julian. Today you make me happy" Nobu said. Hearing that, Julian approached Nobu with a swipe of his head.

As the day gets hotter, Nobu leads Julian into the house. Once inside, Nobu prepares lunch for the two of them. Nobu cook soup, bacon, shrimp and some other types of vegetables. He also made mango juice mixed with small fruits. Like strawberries, lychees, cherries and berries in the refrigerator.

When everything was in session, now change to prepare food for Julian. Like the previous canned meal, Julian will be given a type of wet food. It was a food that was once bought at a pet store. Finished all the preparations, Nobu and Julian had lunch together. They both ate their food so greedily that they were not left alone.

...****************...

Tilulit..tilulit. Nobu hurriedly pressed the green button on his keypad and picked up the phone. "Hello, with Nobu here? What's up?" welcome Nobu to receive the call. "Hello Nobu's. I'm free now" Kenta told Nobu.

"Ah.iya-yep. So what about your move? Is it going well?"

"Yes.grateful now it is easier to do activities with relatives."

"For that, I've left the company. I'm starting a new business."

"really? That's a good thing Kenta. I hope it's all good..."

"Thank you Nobu for the prayer. Oh yeah, how did you get home yesterday?"

When going to answer the question, Nobu's phone experienced a weak battery. So, the conversation was not finished and Nobu's mobile phone died instantly. Nobu who had just noticed it, rushed to find a power connector and filled it. "I forgot Julian that my phone was drained of power" Nobu said. Julian just nodded in agreement to Nobu, then went back to licking his nails.

"Then..what are we going to do now Julian?" ask Nobu. Because Nobu was sleepy, for a long time he began to fall asleep without realizing it. Knowing that he left Nobu to sleep, Julian chose to take a walk. Until a while, Julian fell asleep and went to bed as well. Finally, Nobu and Julian slept and took a nap together.

...****************...

Tok..tok.tok.tok.kid knocking by someone outside the house. Nobu woke up to hear it, he rushed to open the door for the person. The door opened, a young man of Nobu's age stood there. He was wearing a green long-sleeved shirt and black quarter pants. Nobu whose vision was a little blurry, rubbed his right eye slowly.

As the scene became clearer, he remembered that it was his friend. "Fujita? You're Fujita? How did you get here?" ask Nobu in surprise. "Hehe.iya. I'm here to stop by and stay over" Fujita explained.

"stay? You want to stay here?"

"I missed my bus. So, well..can I stay overnight at your house Nobu?"

After thinking briefly enough, Nobu also allowed Fujita to stay overnight. Nobu immediately let Fujita in and gave him some snacks. "Indeed, where are you from? How can it be left behind?" ask Nobu back. "At that time, I went to the bathroom without permission" Fujita replied.

"Then? What does that have to do with it?"

"They don't know that I'm still there. They left me unnoticed. And in the end, I'm here to find your house."

"Um...how did you know my house? You know, we haven't communicated in a long time, have we?"

"You forgot ya. When you first moved here, you had a party."

"Yes, but to my close friend."

"I told Akira about your house."

Although feeling a little awkward, Nobu tried to think positively to Fujita. He also changed the topic of conversation with other interesting things. Then, at night, Nobu prepares a room for Fujita to sleep in. He chose to use his former office as Fujita's bed. "I prepared the room. You can sleep here" Nobu said.

Fujita rushed into the place and thanked Nobu. "You're so good Nobu. Oh yes, thank you," said Fujita. "certain. As a friend, I'm ready to help if needed" Nobu replied. And now it's time for Nobu, Julian, and Fujita to rest their bodies. Before actually falling asleep, Nobu thought about his communication with Kenta.
