THEY'RE ALL MY FRIENDS
Raka's honesty

After school I had a casual conversation with Anin in the house, yes this is how it is if the house only has me and Anin. Sumpah, mother, and budhe are still one week away at the house of a brother who is having a celebration.

My dad is busy with his work project. I don't know when my project is finished, it's been two weeks since I haven't come home. He said next week if there's no obstruction, I'll go home.

"Nin, I'll go to Alif's house." My speech.

"Why are you there? want to make Genta jealous again, huh?" Temptation Anin.

"I have not visited Raka in a long time. I want to continue our mission."

"Ah right, how about we later ask permission to Mas Alif to take Raka for a walk?" Take Anin.

"I also thought so, yes let's get ready."

Anin and I were preparing to go to Mas Alif's house, and they stopped by the house later.

And of course my four magical friends always come along, wanting to keep me out of danger he said, hehe. Although sometimes they piss me off but they're so sweet to me.

I'm so lucky to have magical friends like them, I never thought it would be like this. In the early days I could see them I was very scared.

It's true the words "don't know then don't love" hehe.

•••

I've reached the street in front of Alif mas house, Anin did not come to Alif mas house. He went straight to Guitarja's house because he wanted to go to the toilet. He said he was embarrassed if he had to ride the toilet at Mas Alif's house.

I walked over to Alif's house, I saw that he was washing his sports bike with Raka while playing water with him.

I who saw the scene was very surprised, it was true that Alif was now being better towards Raka.

"It looks like he's looking sincere now at Raka." Chirps Uwo-uwo.

I was surprised to hear Uwo-uwo's voice, how could he follow me to Alif's house. I asked him to wait at home.

"Gosh Wo, why are you here. It's been there quickly back to the house, lest mas Alif realize your presence. Hurry up." My heart's a little panicked.

"His, I just wanted to make sure of you. Yes, I'm leaving first."

Uwo-uwo also darted away from me to the house of Eyang Guitarja.

I smiled full should see the closeness of Raka and Mas Alif now.

"Assalamualaikum mas." My sap to Mas Alif.

Mas Alif who was playing water with Raka also turned to look at me with a smile.

"Guilipinak, Aruni?"

"Bak Runiiiii." Raka walked towards me enthusiastically.

"Raka don't be like that, pity that the clothes mbak Runi so wet." Mas Alif said when Raka would get close to me.

"Hehe yes om, sorry mbak." Answer Raka.

"Eh no papa mas, Raka play rich water gini later in the wind." I said while pinching Raka's nose.

"No, Raka is a healthy and strong boy. So it won't catch a cold." He said while puffing his chest.

"Here is the water hose. It's enough water play, now take a shower first." Alif's orders.

"Ah om Alif even though Raka still wants to play water." Pinta Raka's.

"Kan already daritadi Raka, anyways there mbak Runi here even play water." The Bejuk mas Alif.

"Yes actually said om Alif, later if over time the water play becomes sick. I took a bath first, mbak Runi bathein deh." My timpal.

"Yes, Mbak, Runi batiin Raka?"

"Yes dear." I said while stroking Raka's hair.

"Thank you Run, so it's a hassle. Don't take a shower on me, hehe." The Goda mas Alif.

"Ih mas Alif, by the way. There's Raka talking like that." I said embarrassed.

"Haha just kidding."

"I'm flirty." Chirps Raka.

Me and Alif laughed at Raka's words.

The three of us entered the house of Mas Alif, this is the first time I entered his house. Although from the incredible looks, it turns out in it is very comfortable and minimalist. It looks from the design and the furniture.

I headed to the bathroom with Raka to bathe herself, she looked very happy.

I smiled at Raka's words. "So later Raka called him not mbak Runi anymore dong, but Bunda Runi hahaha." I said.

Raka laughed out loud, I see from her laughter now more loose than ever when I took her for a walk.

I hope now Raka is really happy and mas Alif will be nice like that to Raka.

While I was drying Raka's body, Mas Alif came to us both and said he wanted to go out for a while to buy food.

"Run, I'll take Raka for a second. Go out and buy some food." Said mas Alif.

"Oh yes, my mother." My answer.

"What would you eat?" Ask Alif.

"Sate the chicken om. But don't worry about it." Answer Raka.

"Okay, what do you want to eat?" Ask Alif to me.

"No need to bother." Reject me.

"Not bothered, just food."

"Em the same as Alif." I said.

Mas Alif nodded and smiled "Alright, I go first. Assalamualaikum." Pamphitt.

"Getishalight." My answer and Raka compact.

After I finished drying Raka's body I headed to her room to help her change clothes.

"Where's Raka's room?"

"That's in front." Answer Raka.

I picked up a suit for Raka and helped her to wear it, I knew she must miss the figure of her mother very much.

Who wants to be left behind by both parents when the age is still very small for eternity.

"Em Raka mbak Runi want to ask can you? but I answered honestly." My speech.

"Ask what?"

"Actually Alif is not the same Raka?" I asked while putting pants on her.

Raka thought for a moment "Mbak asked Raka to be honest right, actually from the beginning my father died and Raka lived with Alif. Om Alif is evil with Raka, even Raka can not go to school. Raka was told to clean up the mbak house." The answer.

"Clean the house, Raka seriously?"

"Yes mbak, if there is a less certain Raka was scolded continue to be punished locked up in the warehouse there. Raka is so sad."

"Why didn't Raka say the same?"

"No want to mbak, Raka does not want to be scolded by the same eye. Said father and mother time in Raka's dream also so."

I frowned "Dad and mom, they said what is Raka's dream?"

"They say however the attitude of om Alif same Raka, Raka should always love the same om. Because now Raka only has om in this world, that's what my father said to me." Her speech.

I stroked Raka's hair "Raka is a good boy, a great boy, and a strong boy. How about Alif to Raka?"

"This is what makes Raka more affectionate with Alif, this one week is very good with Raka. Shuttle Raka school and SSB mbak. I promised Raka." He said with a face.

"Om what promise to Raka?"

"Om promise will never leave Raka like father and mother. Om will nemenin Raka to Raka big and become a soldier." The answer.

I smiled fully when I heard Raka's confession, I didn't feel any tears dripping.

"Kok Mbak Runi cry anyway." Raka Protests.

"No, just a glint. Already out of the room, soon it must be home bring satay for Raka." My speech.

"It turns out true what I said, mas Alif has indeed changed. I'm sorry I was so suspicious and suudzon about your change of attitude. Even though your attitude towards Raka used to be rude, it is never too late to start and fix everything. I'm proud of you, thank you for changing. I wish you'd always be like this." I said in my heart.
