Not A Lover But A Best Friend
not a lover but a best friend 9
Chap 9's
After passing through the gulali traders we continued our journey again to the lake. Not long after Rey returned to park the car, it was arrived, I immediately got out of the car and ran towards the lake...
"I MISS THIS PLACE!!" I screamed as I spread my hands and climbed up into the tree
"How many days has it been" said Rey who just arrived
"But I miss this place so much... Hmmm the air is very cold" Rey continued.
I just kept enjoying the cool air here
Then Rey caught me up in the tree and grabbed her phone out of her pants pocket, Rey told me to take a picture of her in the tree
"Ready? One... Two... Tiii... Gaaa" Ckrekk
And so, Rey and I took turns photographing each other, sometimes taking selfies along with various facial expressions that are hilarious and pretentious haha.
After being satisfied to play at Lake Rey invited me home and told my mother Papah about the invitation they came to school.
Geck... Geck... Tok
Chequelek
"Alena" cried Mamah as she opened the door and immediately rushed to hug me, but I did not return her embrace. Then she took my hand and pulled me into the house.
"Let's go in" continued mamah as she glanced at Rey
After making drinks for me and Rey, Mamah sat down with us, but I didn't see Papah, did they really separate?
"Arena? Where are you going? Mamah is worried about you" said mamah holding my hand
"I'm at Rey Mah's house" I replied
"Why didn't you tell Mamah? " Mama sniffled
"Well, Mamah don't cry" I said, wiping away Mamah's tears
"You can't go anywhere now, you're here" said Mamah holding tightly to my hand.
"Well, Alena came here to tell you, tomorrow Mamah is invited to the same school as her homeroom teacher Alena" I said without serving the words earlier
"What's wrong? Tumbens"
"Ga know" I answered briefly though I knew
"If that's how Alena turned back" continued Me Again while standing and glancing at Rey
Mom blocked my arm, her tears kept pouring out. Actually I also have no power to hold back my tears, but I try not to look the other
"Where are you going? This is Alena's house"
"Alena wants to stay in the Apartment aja Mah, it's better for Mamah to take care of unfinished business of Mamah" I said without turning my head and removing Mamah's cheque on my arm
"You can't leave, you'll stay here Alena.... Don't stay mamah" Pekik Mamah sobbed, but I tried not to care, I was evil to treat mamah like that, but wouldn't it be good if I tried to forget about the problems in this family? .
"Didn't you feel guilty about your mother? " ask Rey when we were in the car
"I feel so guilty, but what else? " answer me
"What if you find out who the guy was at the time"
"Hm? " i looked at Rey
"Didn't that man's arrival make your papah go up?"
"Yes right"
"Then why don't you just find out who that guy really is?"
"Maybe it's better, but I need time" I explained
"All right"
"Oh yeah? Did you read the book I gave you the other day?" ask Rey
"I just read the epilogue, I haven't entered the chapter... And I like it" I replied smiling
"really? You liked her? You haven't even read it completely"
"Indeed I haven't read it completely, but I'm going to put it on my list of haha's favorite books" Rey and I laughed together in the car.
It's true, I really like the book Rey gave me when I haven't entered the chapter, I don't know what makes me very interested in reading Rey's "My First Love" book, the cover looks like a Romance book usually that does not forget the shape of the heart in it and is identical to the easy red color, the page is also not too much, there are only two hundred pages and twenty chapters, there are only two hundred pages, if only I had a lot of free time lately, I would have finished reading the book, but there is always something that prevents me from relaxing, maybe later tonight I'll read it if there's no rush. I wish I could sleep well tonight and go to school as usual without any drama in the morning, but if at Rey's house the drama in the morning is only done by Jessy and it's not the same as the drama in my house, you yourself already know what drama it is...
I'll be finished in a year and a half and I don't know where I'm going to go to college yet, and Rey, Rey, has decided where she's going to go to college, Rey is going to college in the United States of America's Uncle Sam but I don't know what she wants to take, she never said it.
All the way we did not make a sound, last time discussing the book, we were busy with our thoughts, and now we have arrived at the car garage right next to Rey's house.
"You go in first, I'll go for a minute" Rey said
"Where'd Rey go?"
"I have a sudden affair" Rey replied, looking strange and unusual she's like this, if there's something she'll definitely tell me, she won't hide anything from me
"Oh, okay... Be careful on the road" I said as I waved my hand and was greeted with a smile by Rey.
Very confusing, there must be something that Rey hid from me, not usually Rey left without saying her purpose.
"Sister! " i turned my body, and there Jessy was holding a water hose
"Eh Jessy, what are you doing? " let me ask him just for a little talk
"Ahh, I just got there"
"Then" Jessy paused and looked at the garage
"Where's Rey's sister?" jessy continued, turning off the water tap
"He has business he said, he didn't say where he was going" I replied honestly
"Oh" Jessy said
"Then I go in first Jessy, get on with your work, but if you want me to help you tell me"
"Oh no need, brother Alen come in first, this is also a little" said Jessy smiling, Jessy is very beautiful if smiling
Then I walked into Rey's house, honestly I feel bad about going into Rey's house without Rey, but let me be brave because I know that this family is all very well. I have a plan that tomorrow I will start staying at the Apartment, the apartment that Papah rented but never occupied. I don't want to constantly trouble Rey's family and Rey's, I'm just a stranger in this house.
I went into the room and immediately went to the bed not forgetting to take the book Rey gave me, I read it starting from Chapter one, and I read it, in the middle of the dialogue between characters I found a sentence that is not foreign to me "if you feel you are a strong person, surely you will not cry just because of trivial things, he said, but I won't forbid you to cry, because, crying is a sad or happy outlet, you may cry, but don't cry because of me" that's the sentence he said and it's not foreign to me, I've heard it, and I heard it from Rey's own mouth, did Rey copy the words from this book?
In the midst of my preoccupation reading came the sound of the door on the knock.
Geck.. Geck.. Tok
"Assalamu'alaikum Alen" aunty Aulia's voice rang out behind the door
"Waalaikumsalam, enter Tan, the door is not in the key" I said
FLECKISH
The sound of the door opened and Aulia Aunty appeared, when I saw Aulia tente I immediately closed the book.
"Alena" Aunt Aulia sat on the edge of the bed and held my hand, implied from her face that she was harboring something she wanted to say.
"Yes Tan?" ask me slowly
"Don't tell anyone this, aunt will just tell you" Aulia said with a cloudy facial expression
"Say aunt?"
"So... " Aulia's aunt did not continue her words, Suddenly Rey came.
"What's this about? Seems like you're talking seriously? Can Rey join us?" said Rey interrupted Aunt Aulia's conversation
"Ahh is nothing Rey.You guys please the stories, Mamah want to rest" said tente Aulia while standing from her seat and leaving us.
I turned to look at Rey, there was a sense of annoyance in my heart because Rey suddenly came in when Aunt Aulia wanted to say seriously.
"What did you say?" tanya Rey while sitting on the edge of the bed
"He hasn't said anything yet, but it seems very important" I said looking at the door
"I was curious" Rey said
"If you hadn't come earlier, Aunt Aulia would've said it" I said as I slapped Rey's arm
"Where do I know if you're talking seriously, my ears are rabbit ears" Rey replied as if she was being ruddy, I just smiled wryly
In the middle of my conversation with Rey suddenly ringing Rey's phone rang indicating someone called, then Rey picked it up.
"Hello" said Rey
".. "
"Oh, just get everything ready" Rey said again
"... "
"I trust you"
"..."
"I'll pay you, relax don't think about it"
"... "
"All right, I hung up"
Hearing Rey's words, I was confused by her last words that she was going to pay someone on her phone earlier, strange..
"Who's Rey?" ask me curious
"Oh, he is.. " Rey paused her words and looked at me intensely
"Why do you think that?" ask him
"You want to know who called me?" keep up Rey
"Yes, say... Don't even look at me like that, you're like a tiger that wants to eat its prey alive" I said scowling
"Alright, I'll say it, he is.... Secretsaaa hahaha" Rey suddenly cracked up, and I? I was so angry at him
"Rey!! " squeak me while pinching him
"Awwwww, sick heyy... It's a secret, you can't know" Rey took my claw off her arm and ran away and left me.
Rey is so weird, she does this weird thing when my birthday comes, she'll make a drama and then surprise me but if this is the case, my birthday is still a long time away, why is he acting this strange way even if he wants to pay someone for his plan, I don't know what he's going to do
