ABOUT YOU
Friends of Arfan's Friends

After school, suddenly Tatang, Erwin and Mbul came to me at the school gate. I don't know what they meant to approach me for, but there's one strong reason why they came at me in such a shaky manner.

“Ris, chat for a minute, yuk? Can, right?” ask Tatang.

I'm nodding. The four of us went straight to the school parking lot to speak more freely.

“What's up?” I opened my voice as soon as I arrived at the parking lot.

“Sorry, if we interfere with your problems with Arfan. But, we as friends of Arfan do not like to see you cold war like this. Unpleasant to look at,” said Erwin started the conversation.

“Iya, I know.”

“Then, we do not want to take a headache about the problem lo same Arfan. It's your business, not ours. But we consider Arfan as our brother. Arfan is always kind to us and always helps us selflessly.

“This time, let us help him. The problem of the video and the photo, maybe the root of the problem from Asti himself. Because you should know, who spread the videos and photos it is Asti and also Sakti,” Tatang said.

“What? But, how could they themselves spread it?”

“That could have happened. They want Arfan destroyed and Asti can make Arfan back to him again. I was horrified from Arfan himself, if the spread of photos and videos is Sakti and Asti itself. You see, one school minister Arfan used to reveal everything the same Arfan last night,” continued Tatang.

“Arfan is very dear lo, Ris. We have never seen Arfan until someone is the same as one girl,” said Mbul who looked serious.

“We know, Arfan it does have the same problem lo. But, he always looks mediocre when he is with us. Even though he tried to cover the problem from us, his name will surely know that his friend is hiding something from all of us. Everything he covers, invisible to others, will be seen by his own best friend.

“So, quickly solve your problem with Arfan. Because the only ones who can solve all these problems are the two of you. And, never waste time in solving your problems. Because the more stretched, your problems will be more and more runyam.”

As soon as Erwin said such a long sentence, I became more and more aware. Arfan is a good boy. Good people will make good friends too.

I realized, Arfan friends who usually always make a row in the canteen, making riots in the school field, always judging other friends are friends who care if his friend is getting into trouble.

I could feel it when Mbul was rocked by Sakti's men. Their friendship is so strong. Although they insult and ridicule each other, but they care about each other. They are the loyal friends of friends. I love seeing their friendship. So concerned with his friend's love story, they came to me and invited me to talk at length like this.

“Gue will definitely solve my problem with Arfan as soon as possible. You guys take it easy, it won't drag on, ko. Just give me a little more time to think more realistically. I don't want to solve all these problems quickly, but you should know that women need to be understood.

“Gue knows, the photo of the kiss was only in the past Arfan and Asti. But you also need to understand my feelings. Even though I said I was okay, my heart was not really okay. It's just the past, but my heart still hurts.

“Why pain? Because I'm Arfan's girlfriend. I had a feeling, so I was jealous to see the photo. So, I beg you to give me time again to try to accept Arfan's past. You can understand me?”

Erwin, Tatang and Mbul looked at each other. The three of them smiled at me. Such a sincere smile from a friend.

“Yes, we understand ko, Ris. Thank’s so bad you already horrified our speech. We hope, lo and Arfan can return to the way they used to be. You see, I miss ngebully you guys like before,” said Mbul who made us all laugh to hear it.

“Thank you, thank you for being the best friend for Arfan. Always there for Arfan and always make him laugh. Without you, Arfan's life would be lonely. Thank you for understanding Arfan. And, thank you for also telling me everything you know about Arfan.”

“One more thing. Don't overload Arfan well, Ris,” Tatang said.

“Why?”

“Elo already know the story about the red lipstick aunt, right?” ask him to make me nod my head.

“The brother came home yesterday. Now, Arfan's mind is again branched. So, do not add more burden,” he said that made me instantly speechless and bow my head.

“So, her brother is back?”

“Already, last night Arfan nginep at home and many stories the same me,” replied Tatang.

“Arfan is fine, right?” much worry.

“He was not good, Ris,” said Erwin replied.

I bow my head back. I regret adding to the burden of Arfan's mind. I was like a useless lover.

“Gue sad that Arfan is like this”

“Arfan must be even sadder if he knows you are sad because of it,” said Mbul who made me bow my head again. "Ris, I've sent something on Whatsapp. Read, yeah?"

"Send what?"

"Open up. It can be entertainment when you are sad again," said Mbul who then went on to follow up by other friends.

As soon as they all left, I opened my phone and saw what Mbul had sent through whatssapp. As soon as I saw it and read it, I laughed.

"Freaky creatures."
