SYAHDU (Contract Sleep Friends)
Why don't you stay?

Shahdu entered Margaret's house. He had already greeted the old woman in front. Kiss the right left cheek, then hug her warmly. Until it makes the Syahdu tense a little less.

"You've finally come too. Oma wait, you know. Arga promised to take you from a long time ago. But it's only been brought now." Margaret told Syahdu.

"Come, we'll eat first." Margaret embraced Syahdu's arm that had only smiled since. So did Arga, smiling to see his omens so happy when Syahdu came.

"Jul.. Julia. Come down, Syahdu has come!" Shouted Margaret from under the stairs.

"Yes, Ma.."

Sounds from above. The voice of his mother Arga, making Syahdu even deg-degan.

"Syahdu, what do you like to eat? Let oma tell the chef, let me cook." Margaret pulled the dining chair and let Syahdu sit. Arga was sitting right next to Syahdu.

"There's just one, oma." Embarrassed answer. Still happy with Margaret.

"Oh, come on, yeah." Julia down the stairs. His smile had been etched since he saw Arga nailing a chair next to Syahdu.

"Shahdu, right?"

"Yes, aunt."

Syahdu stood up to greet Julia's hand. He kissed the back of the woman's hand, made Julia round her eyes for a moment, then glanced at Margaret. As if asserting his mother's words that Syahdu is a polite child.

"Shahdu, are you Alexander's classmate?"

Syahdu glanced at Arga. The man ate his food first.

"Yes, aunt."

"What is she in class? I must not have a friend, yes. Naughty, right?" Ask Julia.

"Mommy, the question is rich Arga son of Sd." Grousers Arga.

"No, aunt. Arga's the smartest in the class." Answer Syahdu.

"Arga also said that, he said you were the smartest in the class. Right, which one?" Tanya Margaret glanced at Arga and Syahdu alternately.

"We're two pinters." Chirps Arga.

"Good, dong. Auntie's happy to hear that." Julia smiled brightly. She felt Syahdu a beautiful and also good child, deserved her son liked the woman.

"How's your grandma doing? Healing yet?" Ask Margaret.

Suddenly Syahdu felt sad. Moreover, Arga said, his omanya already know about free fees at the hospital.

"Oma, thank you so much for the help. Syahdu is deeply indebted to oma. Grandma is better now." Syahdu tears. He immediately lowered his head and wiped his tears. While Arga next to hold a smile to see the crybaby Syahdu.

"Thank God. You don't have to thank me. Because oma doesn't sell anything. The hospital was Arga. So, he's the one who gave you help." Clearly Margaret.

"Really?" Julia couldn't believe hearing that. "That's all right, Alexander. Never mind anything else." Chirp Julia and make Syahdu not dare to raise his head.

"Mami don't make Syahdu feel guilty, dong." Elak Arga's.

"Mami doesn't want Syahdu to feel guilty. Mami questions your sincerity."

"Tulus mi, from the deepest heart!" Press Arga on Julia.

"Ehem, ahem." Margaret wanted to laugh when she heard an Arga speak like that. This time, he could see the noise of Arga at the dining table. Usually, the man doesn't talk much.

"Shahdu, if Xander's messing around, tell mami, yeah."

"Yes, aunt."

"eeee. Don't call aunt. Same with Alexander. Mommy." Julia's smile was sincere. Moreover, she has no daughter.

"Yeah, mommy." Syahdu stiff. While Arga, his lips continue to sing a smile that can be attention from Julia and Margaret. Unexpectedly, Arga could continue to laugh and smile as long as there was Syahdu near them.

"Syahdu, stay here, right?" Ask Margaret.

"C.e..."

"Yes. Sleep here. There are plenty of rooms, right." Connect Julia quickly.

Syahdu glanced at Arga. Ask for help so he doesn't have to stay.

"Ngga. I slept in my room. Let me in the guest room."

Hearing that, Margaret and Julia looked at each other. Both reassure their hearing. Isn't it strange, Arga gave his room to someone else?

"The guest room is uncomfortable. I'll clean my room again." Connect with Arga again.

"Let Bi Minah be clean." Said Margaret, ascertaining whether her grandson had recovered from his 'unable to touch' disease.

"No. That's my room. As always, no one can enter without permission from Arga." Refuse directly. Margaret and Julia were convinced by Arga's answer that she had a place in their child's heart. Julia was difficult to get into Arga's room, why is Syahdu even that easy?

"Good night, oma and aunt Julia."

"Night, Soraya. Sit here, eat together. This is Syahdu, Arga's classmate." Greet Julia, inviting Soraya to sit nearby. The girl's eyes kept staring at Syahdu.

Knowing the discomfort of Syahdu, Arga immediately stood up.

"Lo's ready, right? Come, up. Just clean up the room." Arga pulls Syahdu's hand. The girl looked down at Oma and Julia, then followed Arga up to the second floor.

Soraya's eyes still followed in her second step. His face seemed to dislike the presence of Syahdu in Margaret's house.

"Tante, why are they going up?" Ask the girl.

"Arga again prepared his room. Syahdu sleeps here tonight. So Arga cleared his room for Syahdu to sleep." Look, Margaret, heat up the girl.

"What's? You know, instead of aunty saying, Arga doesn't like his things touched by other people??"

"It's also a confused aunt. You know, aunt offered a guest room, but Xander instead told Syahdu to sleep in his room." Clearly Julia and certainly made Soraya's hand clench.

He doesn't accept. Syahdu had also just been threatened and the woman was clearly challenging him, as if asking him to quickly get engaged to Arga, not even having approached her family. Soraya will really make a reckoning with the girl he now hates.

Arga opened the room door, Syahdu came in. He noticed the contents of Arga's room were very wide. Even ten times the width of the room in his house first.

Not much decoration, arga aesthetic room with guitar on the wall like his apartment.

"Gue change the bed sheet first."

"That's all, Ga. Nothing. I'm only one night anyway."

"OKAY. You want to go to the park?"

"Where?" Ask Syahdu with round eyes.

"next. Yuk." yuk." Arga picked up his guitar and walked out of the room to the balcony.

"Gee. There's park. Very cool!" Syahdu circled the park wide enough. He stared at the one growing flower as well as the small lights.

"Udah, sit here." Arga sat in the gazebo, hugging her guitar.

"When this house is rich palace, Ga. Why don't you want to stay here." Syahdu landed his ass near Arga. His eyes still roamed the park.

"Gue prefers himself." He answered while strumming the guitar.

"Masa, anyway. Or maybe you don't have any friends, yeah."

"My management is a lot. I'm a lazy person to be friends." Answer's cuek.

"If you don't have one, say so. I want to, so you'll be your friend."

"Well, he's been my bedmate. Friend on the bed." Replied Arga while laughing, making Syahdu throbbing.

"Gue has created a song. Do you want to denger? Here's what you helped write."

Arga. Then start seriously strumming the guitar.

🎶Today I drowned like a rock

I tried to close my eyes and ears on my throne

I lost my way home, but instead you came...

Can these eyes continue to stare for a long time.

We can hold hands every day.

Can I still have you even if the world is against us.

Because I want to stay by your side, even if the world shakes though, I'll be fine as long as I'm with you.

Why don't you just stay here?'🎶

The melodious voice of Arga, as well as the song he brought so that his feelings were washed away. Word after word, she was absorbed, until unknowingly, her tears flowed back. Each word sung by Arga reminds him of his own life story. Where he wants to be with Wicak, but there is something that makes him unable to force togetherness if the day, Wicak knows.

"It's crying."

Syahdu laughed a little, then wiped his tears.

"This is it, you also created the lyrics."

"Sadly, Ga. Remember my own story. I just need to wait. Because then, there will be a time when I have to lose everyone I love." Answer with a loud voice.

Arga wanted to stroke her hair, but her hand was held up. He wanted to say, if one day Syahdu is rejected and alone, he will be there right next to the girl. He wanted the girl to stay, according to the content of the song he had written.

Why don't you just stay here?'🎶
