BARATA SURPRISE

"Yes Ay, what you say is very true. You don't have to be sad or feel bad for me, even though now we can't be like before, I still think of you as my best friend and will never be replaced." Arya said with a loving look.

"Arya, it's very hard when I'm not close to you, you know I'm very dependent on you. How can I go through my days without your laughter and jokes, you're the only friend I have," said Kinasih who couldn't hold back her tears.

"Ay, why are you crying? Don't cry anymore Ay, we can still see each other every day. We can still discuss work problems, right?" Arya said looking deeply into Kinasih's face.

"But Ar, after I got married..I no longer work Ar. I'm at home as a good housewife for my husband and children later," said Kinasih with a sad look.

"Is that your wish, Ay?" Arya asked in disbelief that Kinasih could let go of the job she had worked so hard for for years.

"I actually don't want Ar, but I want to be a good wife who obeys my husband's orders," said Kinasih with her head down.

"Yes, Ay, if that is your decision. Don't be sad okay? lets smile? this is all for the sake of your little family later? lets smile." Arya said smiling with a heart full of sadness.

"Maybe it's time I have to let you go Ay, I have to forget you so you can be happy with the person you love." Arya said in his heart while looking at Kinasih's face which still looked sad.

"I'm still sad Ar, I can't smile right now. How can you smile Ar? even though soon you will rarely see me? don't you miss me later Ar?" asked Kinasih who was really sad because Arya was the only friend who was always there for her.

"Ay, don't be like this... you must know I will never forget you, I will forever love you and always be there for you. Don't be sad anymore okay?" Arya said giving his a handkerchief while holding back the tightness in his chest.

"Promise me Ar, even though we rarely see each other later, you will never forget me." Kinasih said with her puffy eyes.

"I promise you Ay. You can keep my promise." Arya said with a serious face.

"Thank you Ar, you are my best friend forever." said Kinasih while wiping her tears with Arya's handkerchief.

"You better call Bara now to pick you up, I'll go back to my room to work on a new project to attract more investors." said Arya who wanted to find busyness on the sidelines of his wounded heart.

"Good luck, Ar." Kinasih said as she called Barata to pick her up.

Arya smiled as he gave a thumbs up.

With unsteady steps Arya walked to his room to let go of all his sadness.

"Oh God, why should I love Kinasih who never loved me? I've been very close to her for five years but Kinasih can't open her heart to me in the slightest? and Barata is it true that he loves Kinasih sincerely? why do I feel that there is something bad behind Barata's kindness? Are my thoughts just because of my envy and jealousy?" Arya said in his heart with his eyes staring at the ceiling of his study.

"Hopefully Barata really sincerely loves Kinasih, I don't want Kinasih to suffer because of love or someone to hurt her heart. Semoga kebahagiaan selalu ada padamu Ay." Arya said crying in his heart.

"Have you been waiting for me Kinasih? I'm sorry, I really fell asleep so I didn't hear your phone. I'm a little unwell," said Barata, who was almost an hour late and that made Kinasih a little disappointed.

"It's okay Barata." Kinasih said briefly.

"Let us go home? or where do you want to go?" Barata asked trying to persuade Kinasih.

"I'm tired, Bara, I want to go home soon." replied Kinasih with a flat face.

"Come with me, Kinasih? to somewhere. I have a message for something in that place." said Barata, who suddenly remembered something that would surely make Kinasih's anger disappear.

"Where?" asked Kinasih looking at Barata's face briefly.

"Never mind..let's go in! later you will also know." Barata said opening the car door for Kinasih. Kinasih's heart melted a little with Barata's always caring attitude.

Once in the car, Kinasih took a deep breath.

"Bara?" called Kinasih who wanted to ask something.

"Did you really sleep? isn't it online calling with someone?" asked Kinasih who really knew that Barata's whatsapp had been online for almost half an hour.

"I'm really sleeping Kinasih, I'm not feeling well. You can hold my forehead now." Barata said as he took Kinasih's hand and placed it on his forehead.

"Isn't it hot Kinasih? I'm not lying right?" asked Barata because he wasn't feeling well.

"But I know for myself that your whatsapp continues to be online, Bara?" asked Kinasih seriously.

"Kinasih, for my cellphone I rarely use it at home, In fact, it's more often my mother who uses it or my sister because it's a shame if I still don't use a lot of my data package," explained Barata with a smile.

"Are you suspicious? or jealous?" Barata asked still smiling.

"Yes, it's possible, Bara, if you are too busy on the phone to not pick up my phone," said Kinasih with pouting lips.

"I'm not that type Kinasih, if you don't believe me, call me right now, okay? You can ask mom." Barata said while reaching for his cellphone.

"No need Bara, I believe in you. I'm sorry." Kinasih squeaked with a red face.

"I forgive you Kinasih, thank you for being jealous of me. That's a sign you really love me." Barata said then started the car somewhere.

"We have arrived Kinasih." Barata said with a smile.

"Why go to Bara's jewelry store?" asked Kinasih in surprise when Barata stopped her car right in front of the jewelry store.
