Chap 4's
~{ people will say that every event that really exists in front of the eyes is reality, but do not know the root of an event}~
On a very bright morning, the birds chirped at each other, singing and feeling that life should be lived as it should be.
This morning I'm gonna take Rey for a morning run in the park, and hopefully Rey isn't busy. I picked up my phone on the nightstand planning to send Rey a message.

*v*ok, I'll pick you up
After sending a message to Rey, I hurried to get ready while waiting for Rey to pick me up.
There was no sound of a car coming, and I'm guessing it was Rey. I immediately ran down the stairs to the main door, hoping that Rey would wait. I slowly opened the door, and it was true that if Rey was waiting for me, Rey turned her back on the door, because I opened the door slowly, I was sure she didn't hear me, I would have surprised her.
Slowly my hand moved to touch Rey's shoulder and "DOORR!! " just Rey surprised me, I almost fell because of Rey.
"Hahahaha, right? " Rey meredekku accompanied by a typical laugh. I also laughed. After joking with laughter, Rey and I went into the house together, and happened to be watching TV in the living room.
"Eh there is Aldi" said mamah when he realized me and Rey entered the room. Do not be surprised why mamah call Rey with Aldi, because Rey is already used to being called Aldi as mamah, since I and Rey are friends
"Farah's mama's morning" Rey greeted the mama back.
"Where are you going? Guess what, you guys are gonna run in the morning, aren't you? " guess mamah pointed small while squinting her eyes.
Rey and I exchanged glances at such behavior and smiled, and saw mamah again "iya mah, this is the plan to say goodbye to mama" Rey continued
"Yes there go, ntar hunt for noon" tell mamah.
After leaving the house, Rey drove her car at a moderate speed until we reached the park.
"Okey, let's stretch first so that later if his leg run is not cramp"
Rey and I started warming up before running so that the muscles of the body are flexible and do not experience muscle spasms in the middle of activity. While Rey and I were warming up, someone greeted me.
"you guys? " i saw Arisa already in front of me, it seems like she also wanted to run in the morning, seen from her clothes using a white T-shirt, trending and a small towel hanging from her neck. Her hair was smashed and it made Rey feel like she was swallowing her saliva, I saw her jaw going up and down, you know.
"Hi Arisa" I said to Arisa, I know that Rey is watching Arisa, so I let her know until later she is conscious and misbehaved with her own actions.
"you guys? Dating huh?" the question managed to disperse Rey's daydream, I glanced at Rey who was misbehaving Arisa's question just now, and I had expected that she would be like that.
"No" Rey answered the question quickly.
"But you guys are kind of dating anyway? You are always bereng and there is not even a chance to be close to one of you, because you are always together... And it doesn't seem that you're just friends, more keee dating that secret" continued Arisa, she really wants to know my relationship with Rey who is only a friend, just a friend, I'm sure he's as thoughtful as everyone else, no one's seen me with Rey thinking we were just friends, so they assumed we were lovers.
"We are like that because we're used to Arisa, because I'm the same Rey has been in office since childhood, so don't think that I'm the same Rey dating" I explained to Arisa, I will always dismiss all the words people say about my relationship with Rey who is not.
"Oh that's it? I'm sorry I was wrong, so I went on again huh, happy activities" finally Arisa gave up and left us both, and Rey? Rey does not release her vision on Arisa until Arisa is no longer seen. I hate it when Rey acts like that, she doesn't mind me, forgets if I'm next to her, I'm gonna leave her, just let her see Arisa and forget her best friend.

"Arena? I don't like it when you're like this anymore? You if you're angry with me talking dong, don't be kayak gini" Rey changed her expression like a man who wanted to bully her son
"Are you unconscious? " i was snapping at him while I was straddling him
"know what Al, I don't understand" said Rey to me, and this attitude that I don't like when I'm fighting with him.
"As far as you're Rey, I'm tired of going home" I stepped out of Rey.
"Okay Al, I'm sorry if I'm wrong" Rey said before I went any further, I stopped my steps and turned around to see Rey sweat, and I just looked back, and I knew he wouldn't let me go home alone.
"Do you know what your mistake was? " just ask her
"Because I've been cuekin you earlier, I've always been staring at the departure of Arisa" explained Rey, it turns out she already knew that I was angry because of that, maybe Rey can read my mind.
I ran to hug Rey, she really understood that if I was angry, she could always guess my heart, even when I kept something from her, she would try to figure it out. I was confused as to why he would still be friends with me, even though I was selfish.
"I'm sorry, huh? " Rey returned my embrace.
"I hate it when you cry Alen. I don't like it when people I love cry" Rey continued
I looked up at her words just now, honestly, when Rey said something like that, my brain seemed to be looking for the answer behind those words. I wondered if there was a meaning behind the word that I might just take for granted.
"You can cry Al, as long as you don't cry because of me" said Rey again who makes my brain raging, oh Rey please don't confuse me with your words, yes I understand about not being allowed to cry as long as not to cry because of her actions, then why would I cry because of her actions if she always gives me happiness? Right now I'm crying because I'm happy to have a friend like him.
I took off my arms and stared fixedly at Rey's brown eyes, where I saw her sincerity. I don't want to open my voice yet, I just want to hear all the words Rey wants to say.
"Al's? Why don't you let me be close to another girl? I told you just a friend? And can't I date? " heard those questions, honestly I couldn't answer them, I didn't know what to answer. I could only look down to find out what answer I was going to give.
I looked at Rey again "maybe, because I was selfish? " i replied, but Rey laughed at it.
"Cuman because you're selfish? " Rey held onto her temple like she was thinking of something.
"Alena, I know you can't answer my question, so I give you some advice on how to answer my question" Rey held my cheeks, me and Rey looked at each other, and looked at each other, I don't know how my face looks right now, my face is hot, let me guess. My face is red right now.
"Capture your heart, whatever is in your heart, and if you can't, your little heart can answer everything" Rey continued, taking her hand out on my cheek and smiling.
"Rey, I don't let you get close to other girls because I don't want you to stay away from me, and I don't want to get close to me anymore, I know we're just best friends, and you have the right to choose what your life is like, I have no right to forbid everything you want to do, but you are my only close friend, I promised myself that I would keep this friendship, but I guess I was wrong to keep this friendship... It blocks all your desires... I'm selfish Rey, from now on I'm not going to ban you from being close to anyone, you can date Rey, no matter what you want I won't deny it, as long as you never forget me as your best friend" I explained as I lowered my head, I was completely wrong to have blocked Rey's every wish. I realized, this action of mine made Rey become depressed and difficult to find another life besides being around me.
"Alena, I didn't ask you to make a speech in front of me, I just told you to reveal your heart" Rey chuckled instead listening to me talk like that, annoying, I've shown how sad I was, I've shown, but he just laughed.
"But Rey, that's my heart" I showed Rey a pretty face instead of pity, she pinched my cheek like she wanted to tear it apart.
"Yes yaa... I believe" Rey immediately embraced me. "We're looking for a cafe yuk? While enjoying the day before noon" he said while holding me looking for the nearest cafe. Finally Rey and I arrived at a coffee shop, not a cafe, it seems there is no cafe near the park, here there is only a coffee shop called kedia shop.
Rey and I sat outside to feel the wind.
"What message do you want? Mas's? " ask a waiter.
"Eumm... Where's menu? " i asked him for a menu, I rarely had coffee.
"There" he said, pointing to a board attached near the entrance.
"I'd like to order a dalgona coffee, if you're Rey? What message do you want? "
"I'm the same as your order"
The waiter left us after taking down the order.
While waiting for the order, I searched for a topic to talk to Rey about, but it was difficult to find a topic that was in harmony with this tavern, but it was not necessary.
