The Gang'S
The Heart of Rio

This weekend is gathering at Bara's house. We all sat on the porch of his house, some playing basketball. There is Sandi, Reyga, and Putra who play basketball on the small court of Bara's house.

This house is the place where we usually gather. Bara's parents' vacant home is the best place to hang out, vacation, and we're all here all day.

Password after playing basketball, his sweat poked from his forehead to his chin, he just wiped the origin with his elbow. Then he walked up to me and sat down next to me.

He grabbed a glass of orange juice that was on the tray, then drank it to the end. Until I saw it also interjected, “Lo thirsty what is it? That big glass, San, deliberately not to go back and forth the kitchen, you instead drink a glass of gedenya meni lightly pisan.”

“After, I wear out, abis kelar play basketball is not enough to drink this really, need ya about two gallons,” kelakarnya.

“Ebuju buset dah, it mah can be bloated dodol, gile aja lu!” pekikku to Sandi.

“Whose drink?” ask Sandi to me.

I also pointed at Sandi and replied to her question, “Lu lah, yakali me who gemoy bint imut bin aduhai trulala gini.”

“Who am I?” Sandi dodged it, making me pinch her head with my light hands.

“Emang you ya dodol, I where there drink two gallons!” sewotku on Sandi.

Until my debate with Sandi was stopped there, because the gate was opened by someone. “Wey who you are!” shouted the Son who was preparing with a basketball in his hand, he was about to throw in case the person who entered was a criminal.

The gate opened in half, revealing a figure that had been very difficult to melt his heart, Rio. He was present here, walked slowly in, then stopped in the middle of the Bara house basketball court.

The son dropped the basketball he was holding, all of them staring towards Rio who was standing before pairs of eyes.

“G-gue ... disturb yes?” rio asked me and my friends all.

The son came closer to Rio, then patted his shoulder. “Lo does not bother you, instead you come at the right time,” Putra said to Rio.

I nodded, approving of the speech of the Son who was in his sane mode. Other friends followed.

I got up from my seat, came to Rio, and when I was right in front of him I said, “Lo came here is a movement of your heart that makes us all here happy for your presence, you know, Lo came here, Rio.”

Rio looked at me, holding my hand with his warm grasp. “Thank you for making me aware of the time in the rooftop at that time. I'm sorry if I was so selfish with my feelings that I didn't realize that friendships were so much more beautiful. This thought opened up equally you, Can,” obviously Rio at length.

Rio lowered his head, he said in a soft voice, “If I am allowed to join again, I really want to, but if for example my presence really bothers me, , I'm sorry and will go as far as I can.” Rio said it, even though his voice was soft, but all of them were able to hear Rio's words.

Sandi suddenly got up, she walked towards Rio, and suddenly pulled the collar of Rio's shirt. “LO CRAZY HUH! YOU'VE BEEN NINGGALIN US, KEEP LO BACK AGAIN, AND YOU STILL THINK THAT WE-WE ALL DON'T EXPECT LO'S PRESENCE UNTIL YOU ALSO THINK WE WON'T BE ABLE TO NERIMA LO AGAIN! LO SANE HUH?!” At this point Sandi suddenly released a pull on Rio's shirt, then suddenly hugged Rio tightly.

“We accept lo, Rio, even we are always looking for ways to join again, so no need to think strangely again!” Sandi was about to release her embrace, but was held back by Rio by replying to such a tight hug.

“So San, sorry to disturb your relationship with Cantika at that time, I was very selfish yes ..” Rio blamed himself again.

As Rio and Sandi's embrace loosened, I said, “Gue equals Sandi was friends, gang’s, so no love, no love, because I do not want to have a love relationship with a friend or friend who is in my own scope.” Rio nodded, his eyes reddened, the tears that should have fallen stuck there made a reddening effect by itself.

The other friends also approached the place where I was with Rio, Sandi, and Son. Reyga who was not far away first.

When everything comes together, we form a circle that holds hands next to each other.

“Gue wants to raise hope, hopefully I and we can all hold each other until the grip disappears not because of the absence of hostility, but the departure because of destiny that set in the future how, how,” said Tara suddenly.

“Gue also wants to raise hope, if one day, we will continue to hold without having to really grasp, but we all hold a trust, the establishment of friendship rope until anytime.” Reyga said it.

“If I .. I have big hopes for The Geng’s, I hope The Geng’s can be a gang that supports each other, there is each other when the dark comes, I want us to be forever, I want us to be, but in the future there may be obstacles. But in the hand, held by our hands each has the power to support each other, help each other with the grip of each hand,” I said by circulating the gaze to all my friends.

They showed a sweet smile. Hope is the form of our request when our togetherness is still complete.

Honestly, I feel pain when we are all not together, relying on each other's selfishness, fighting each other with different opinions. But when we were together, I was the one who expressed gratitude many times, I felt my happiness increase, I felt my happiness increase, even all the problems that always bind us as if scattering along with the wind that blows dust, maybe that's how I am right now.

“Gue hopes, whatever your expectations for all of us are realized, even though the way to raise our expectations is different but we still have the same amiin, he said,” said Sandi who stared expectantly at all of us.

The circle we make is also slowly shrinking, increasingly shrinking until we embrace each other.

“Aamiin ...,” said me and my friends all at once, guaranteeing Password speech that becomes a bridge between us all.

That hope leads us to a better friendship, plus Rio has already lost his heart. I am grateful for everything that happened today.
