THEY'RE ALL MY FRIENDS
A Different Attitude

"Aruni, why do you look so close to Alif now?" Ask Uwo-uwo.

"Near how? he and I were just walking around."

"But if it's constantly like that it's near his name." Chirp Kukun.

"True, aren't you thinking about how Gentong feels?" Sander's

"Gentong, who's Gentong?" Ask Cong-cong.

"Yes Genta is who else." Answer Sander.

"Ish the name of a nice-good-rich person is even carelessly changed to Gentong." My misery.

"Hehe's sorry, then what?"

"Have you let it go anyway if he is angry or jealous of me and Mas Alif close, what right does he have? neither is my boyfriend jealous." I spoke a little upset.

"Didn't you and Genta like each other?" Ask Uwo-uwo.

"Yes, it's true, but until now it wasn't clear if my relationship was with him. Yes free I want to be close to who wants to travel the same who is also my right. Unless Genta is already my lover, it's only natural that he's angry and jealous."

Uwo-uwo shook his head "Aruni-aruni yes it is up to you. Besides, I'm also surprised by you, how can you get close to Alif like that. Did you forget about our goal of freeing Raka from Alif's entrapment?"

I snorted dejectedly "It's not like that Wo, I didn't forget about our goal to free Raka. But do you remember what Eyang's advice was? we cannot always be prejudiced with Alif. It is precisely I who wonder the same you guys, people change for the better instead of being grateful even suspected continue."

"We learned to be suspicious of Run, we knew how he behaved to you at the beginning of your meeting. His attitude towards Raka, is very inhumane." Cong-cong was a little emotional.

"That's enough, I don't want to hear you guys suspect Alif anymore. Now I need you to go to the barn first, I want to be alone." I said with annoyance.

"You're kicking us out? just because of that guy? fine if that's what you want." Said Sander who was also upset with Aruni's attitude.

"I'm sorry guys, I didn't mean to kick you out. But I don't like you guys always vilifying and suspecting Alif. Although until now I have not fully believed in Mas Alif but I don't like it if someone vilifies him." I said in my heart.

I don't feel my tears dripping, I don't know when my feelings are raging the only thing that can calm my heart just by crying.

I also do not know why I was swept away in a sweet attitude mas Alif to me, I was confused by all this.

But my main goal to be able to make sure Raka is really well taken care of by mas Alif will still I continue, somehow the end result.

While in the warehouse, the ghost genk especially Sander was being annoyed at Aruni. It could be just because Alif he was angry and drove him and his friends to the warehouse. Aruni had previously acted like this.

Various speculations began to emerge, especially yes Sander. The term child today, he is the most overthinking with the attitude of Aruni, hehe.

"I don't think with Aruni, he could've behaved like that to us." Cong-cong.

"Calm down, he was just getting emotional. You know there's a fire not to be avenged with fire, but there has to be water to put out the fire." Uwo-uwo.

"You're right Wo, we shouldn't be provoked by emotion when Aruni is like that. You are the wisest and most mature of us." Puji Kukun's.

Kukun's praise makes Uwo-uwo a little misbehaved, he scratches his hairy head. Until the lice and maggots fell, Sander who saw it was immediately shudder and sneer at Uwo-uwo's behavior.

"Teach Uwo-uwo looks wise and mature, he was a creature thousands of years ago. You could say he was an elder. You too Wo, already know the big hairy body there are maggots and nails. Don't be like a boy in love, look at that maggot and your lice falling like that." Cibir Sander's.

"How dare you talk like that little boy!" Uwo-uwo.

"This is your silence, do not quarrel. You're Sander, too, watch your words." Cong-cong.

"Yes, yeah, okay."

"But only this time I saw Aruni that regrettable to us." Chirp Kukun.

"Aruni's attitude like this that makes me not stop suspecting Alif, could Aruni be affected by the energy of Alif?" Sander.

"Well, why didn't I think about it? but we also cannot conclude everything ourselves. There must be strong evidence, too." Cong-cong.

"True Cong-cong said, let's just wait until Aruni's emotions subside." Uwo-uwo.

They were silent in the storehouse, for a long time they did not stay in the storehouse. Because Aruni himself who does not want to let his magical friends stay in the warehouse. He prefers to let his magical friends stay in his room and Anin.

In the afternoon unexpectedly while Aruni was watering the flowers of sewage, suddenly Genta came with palm oil and some favorite food Aruni and Anin.

Because Genta tau, sumbu, Budhe Ratih, and Aruni's mother were not at home for several days. So he took the initiative to bring some food for Aruni and Anin's dinner.

"Hi Run." Sapa mas Genta.

Aruni who understood the sound well then looked at the source of the sound.

"Eh my Genta?"

"Once I'm busy, don't I bother you?" Ask Genta while taking off his helmet.

"No, it's finished too. Come on in."

We both sat in the house.

"What do you want to drink?" My toot.

"No need, I brought you some food and a hammer for you and Anin."

Mas Genta handed me some plastic bags.

"Even so troublesome, next time do not need to be rich gini mas."

"No Papa Run."

"Thank you, I'm not busy, am I? until I stopped by the house."

Although I speak normally but mas Genta felt a little gerogi when answering.

"Well, sorry I didn't call you for a few days. The rice paddies are harvesting, so yes I have to help. You're out of town, too, so yes I have to take full responsibility." Clearly me.

"Oh so, it's worth three days Genta has no news."

"Even until the food workers take care of me, like last afternoon when I was buying lunch for the workers in the meatball shelter, I accidentally saw you and Alif." Mas Genta said with a smile.

Deg, did Genta see me?

"Mas Genta saw me?" My toot.

Mas Genta nodded "It seems like lately you've been looking close to Alif."

I smiled wryly at Genta's statement.
