I'm Not a Bet
Recognition

"Belom sleeping?" Tristan's soft voice on the phone made Arindi smile to herself, the voice sounded very soothing to Arindi.

"Belom is sleepy, brother" replied Arindi.

"Trus again what, why do belom sleep?"

"There's nothing to do anyway, lying down, wanting to sleep but drowsy eyes."

Arindi lied. Actually since he got to his apartment after being escorted by Tristan earlier, Arindi Pu can control himself. He plays classical music on his phone and pretends to dance around his room.

Arindi was excited to imagine all the events today. Even after bathing he still hummed indistinctly with the bathrobe still attached to his body. He laughed to himself, remembering his kiss. Sometimes he held his lips while smiling at the thought of the warmth that had touched his lips.

It was a new experience in his life. Not just because of the kiss, but this is the first time he has fallen in love with someone. He never knew falling in love was this fun.

"Sleep, it's already malem," Tristan said later.

"Yes, sister."

"Well, no college tomorrow?" ask Tristan who began to want to know what activities Arindi tomorrow.

"There's a 10 o'clock. Oh yes, brother, come with Arin tomorrow morning."

"Where are you?" ask Tristan.

"There's a dehhh, will ya?" Arindi's voice was half whining. He really feels comfortable talking to Tristan now.

"OKs. Now go to bed, tomorrow morning brother pick up," replied Tristan agreeing to Arindi's invitation.

"Yeah deh. Uh pick up?" Arindi just agreed unknowingly what Tristan said. "Oohs... I-yes yes, brother."

"Why surprised? Forgot to have a girlfriend?" tristan Goda on Arindi.

"Yes, you may not forget my brother. Time forgets anyway," replied Arindi timidly.

"Yes, you're asleep, tomorrow you'll be picked up," said Tristan softly.

"I-iya, brother," answered Arindi and disconnected her call.

Tristan is not a person who has a lot of dating experience, he does not know how to date. He doesn't know how to say sweet things to women. But with Arindi all casually flowing, he always wanted to make the girl smile with his words, with his touch and with his gaze. She wanted Arindi to welcome her sincerity, to feel the warmth she gave, and she wanted the girl to hold on and lean on her.

Tristan looked at Arindi like a figure he had never found in his life before. He never felt like he wanted to be noticed by men like Tristan. He was always clumsy and never responded to men's attention. But with Tristan he always expected the man's attention.

...----------------...

Early in the morning Arindi, Nadine, Vivian and Rasya had been sitting together in the Harmony cafe. Actually Arindi was the one who asked the three of them to come this morning, because there was something he wanted to say to his three best friends.

Arindi sipped the hot chocolate in front of her slowly. He enjoyed every sip of it casually. While his three best friends were just sitting around, their eyes were only fixated on the unusual sight that was in front of them right now - the figure of a handsome man who was sitting next to Arindi at this time, Tristan.

Tristan who felt looked at by the three pairs of eyes was indifferent, he just sat holding one hand on his chin looking with eyes full of questions to Arindi, his girlfriend, he just sat up with one hand on his chin, who is currently just relaxing to enjoy his warm drink as if it does not care about the circumstances around him.

"Therea... who can explain why we have.... five sitting here now?" Rasya who from earlier did not understand the situation now finally opened his voice.

Since opening his eyes, he has been confused. Early in the morning Nadine called her and delivered a message from Arindi to gather at the cafe this morning without any explanation as to why she should do that. And Nadine added the word 'important' according to Arindi's message that he received so that his three friends would come.

Rasya looked at Arindi, but the one being stared at did not also flinch. Then looked at Vivian and Nadine trying to find answers, but they just shrugged their shoulders in ignorance.

"Rin...."

Rasya stared question markfully at Arindi. He carefully observed Arindi's seemingly calm look at the moment. Then he looked at Tristan.

He looked at the expressions of his three friends. The three of them just nodded in serious response to the words that Arindi wanted to say. Arindi continued her words.

"Include the man next to me by the name of Tristan." Arindi raised her hand pointing at Tristan as if she was giving an introduction.

Tristan who felt appointed then changed the position of his hand, he hooked his fingers to the table and smiled faintly towards the three friends Arindi nervously. He then looked with a confused face at Arindi, he did not know what Arindi meant by introducing her name so politely.

"It's not that I'm not polite to Rin, but I already know him, I'm even one club with him," Nadine said suddenly.

"Gue knows too" Rasya said. "He's why?" her question half whispered to Vivian beside her.

"Ga knows me, again shear the wealth of this child this morning", Vivian replied while whispering to Rasya.

"Udah on to know right? But what you don't know is that she's my boyfriend."

Briefly Arindi answered the confusion of the four of them. After that he casually folded his hands staring flat at his three best friends.

Tristan who felt exposed suddenly coughed as Arindi loudly described herself in front of her best friend. He just closed his mouth as if holding back his cough. It became a mistake.

Not inferior to Tristan, the three friends also issued a reaction that was no less surprised. Nadine squirted her latten cup back to hear the word Arindi until she coughed. Rasya screamed with his loud voice. While Vivian just took a breath and held it and her eyes glared in disbelief at Arindi.

"Uhm. brother came out for a while yes," Tristan said trying to escape.

Greep. Arindi's hand quickly clasped Tristan's hand, who wanted to get out of his chair in embarrassment. He looked at Tristan's face.

"Where are you? Later first..," pinta Arindi.

Tristan sat back in his chair with Arindi still holding Tristan's hand on the table.

The three friends who were shocked again were shocked by Arindi, they stared dumbly at the hands of the two of them who were holding each other now. Then the three of them looked at each other and at the same time they finally screamed.

"Waaaaaaa.." their screams were splashy.

Tristan covered his ears. Arindi just threw him a smile as if telling Tristan to understand the behavior of his best friend.

"Where is the story Ariiiiiiin..," said Vivi curious.

"Rin, I'm not wrong, I'm not wrong, right? You guys are dating? Is this really Tan?" Nadine took turns looking at Arindi and Tristan.

"Trus trus when is it, semalem? wouldn't you? Well, right?" search Rasya.

"Semalem? What else, don't you understand me, how the hell could Rin be you?" nadine still doesn't believe it.

"Arin Arin Arin donk's story." Vivian shakes Arindi's body. While Tristan was just smiling looking at their silly behavior.

"Patience yes dear, notar, today I want to know it first," said Arindi closed the introduction.

"Whyaan? When story... That's very true..," Rasya urged on Arindi.

"Now anyway... Trus Tan emang you really want to be like this child," said Nadine pointed to Arindi. "She looks like a gentle gini, actually rich lion loh, seriously you hold?"

"Uhhhmmmm I'm talking about. Nadine what the hell, I am gini from birth..," replied Arindi briefly.

"Ih Nadine is really bad," added Vivian.

Tristan just smiled in response to the rants of Arindi's best friend. He was just glad the three of them accepted his presence.
