RICH MAN
STILL QUESTIONABLE

The night began late, which was where they had arrived at one of the inns in the eastern Lombok region. Because tomorrow they're going to start climbing, it's a very cold night. Because of the highlands, it is not surprising that the temperature there is very cold and it takes some thick clothes to warm themselves.

Jenny, Star and also Rista one room. While Rey, Fendi and Bayu, the three of them are also one room to save costs. The star sits outside drinking hot milk. There was the sound of guitar and laughter from some visitors there who were engrossed together with his friends. While the Star chose itself to calm his mind because less than a month he would part with friends that he already considered as his own brother. Time passed so quickly to force myself apart. It is very difficult to leave what has been so attached to the heart. Especially about friendship, it's all very difficult.

With thick clothes and also wearing gloves to feel a little warmth in the cold of the night. The star leaned against the chair while raising both of its legs. Sitting curled up while enjoying the very crowded atmosphere there.

"Not cold, lo?" Jenny sat in front of him carrying hot chocolate and joined the Stars.

"It's cold, but it's coming in, really,"

"Yes, you take a break!"

"A little while, Jenny,"

"The same thing. How's rey? Still without status?" his friend alluded to it and the smiling Star was about to explain it all.

He drank his drink and put it on the table. "About me and Rey there won't be any relationship until anytime, Jenny. I've decided not to mention all of that even if the feeling is there,"

"Star, don't be a hypocrite. Later if Rey is taken people lo will know what it feels like, no way lo it continues like this. Secretly sick, silently smiling when you see Reynand. Where is there anyone who suddenly sensitizes if you do not tell first. Look at how Rey also treated you like how,"

"Rey's good to everyone,"

"Lo only knew him for a few months. I don't really know him even though I've known him for a long time. Only Rey's side is very different when you know the same lo. Maybe one side of him is good with everyone, just not like the one he sells after lo nearin, do you not feel that if Rey also likes you? You've been walking with him a lot,"

The star turned towards the room next to it. Rey was out with Bayu and a smile was clearly drawn on the face of the Star after seeing Rey come out very happy. The man laughed while telling a story together with Bayu. In his heart there was a desire to be with Reynand. If only he had replaced Bayu there who was making Reynand laugh like that. If he was with Rey at this time and created a happy memory that would probably be used as the most valuable memories for the Stars to keep him later when separated. In his heart, he did not want to tell her he was leaving Rey alone. Letting his feelings die by itself is perhaps the best way to say goodbye when a farewell cannot represent feelings.

Minutes after the two teenagers left. Jenny and the Stars are still talking there. The girl faithfully accompanied him even though sometimes Jenny's attitude was very ketus when talking, but the Star still understood it because it was Jenny's original attitude.

"Rista, where?" he said to divert the conversation between the two about Reynand. The girl in front of him scrunched his forehead and took a deep breath then threw it away violently.

"You've always shied away from all this, Star. I don't know anymore about you and Rey, whether you two will torture each other's feelings or what?"

"Don't think about it, Jenny. I don't want to talk about it,"

"Then I told you that you were avoiding,"

Both of them were silent with their own thoughts. Jenny who chose silence and did not continue the discussion because the Star continues to avoid her feelings for Reynand.

"Jenny, accompany Rista inside! He's afraid of being alone!" bayu's sudden orders made Jenny turn her head.

He stood in front of the terrace of his inn while putting both his hands in the pocket of the thick jacket he was currently wearing.

"Star!"

Reynand suddenly jumped up and shook the star which was busy with her daydream. The man sat in front of the Star while swinging his legs into the air. The girl sat down and did the same.

"Why not sleep?" ask the man.

"Because it's not sleepy,"

"There's no better answer?"

The star scrunched his forehead. They both swung their legs and thought their chin was on the wooden guardrail of their inn.

"It's so beautiful here, yeah,"

The star turned for a moment to the man who was saying so. "Ah, yes it is beautiful,"

The girl was still propping her chin on the flat wooden fence and with her left hand as a base to support her chin. The star turned its head as its right hand was grasped by Reynand. He still did not understand the man who was acting increasingly strange to him. If he says it's love, maybe the guy doesn't feel the same way he does.

"We'll always be together, right?"

The star heard the question with a sick feeling. He will leave his friend. He turned his gaze in the other direction and glanced for a moment at Reynand who was focused on the scene that was in front of the two of them.

There was so much joy that the two of them had ever been through together. They had a lot of fun to forget about the heartache sometimes felt by the Stars when Rey was busy with others.

'I hate your busy days because you forget me, but I hate it even more when I see your laughter with other women. And it's not because of me, but someone else' he said in his heart. He always wanted to be on that guy's side.

"Rey, you mean this whole time in this way we were together, what does that mean?"

"Don't ask about us. I don't know, either, which is why I want us to stay together,"

"May I ask you something like that?"

"What?"

"Are we going to be like this without any relationship status?"
