There was a knock at the door. Ardi walked towards the door to open that door, “you!” he was shocked when he saw Kenzo coming to his house.
“Can I log in?” Ardi nodded then stepped in and was followed by Kenzo behind him.
“Tumben you come to my house, usually meet at cafe.” Ardi sat on the living room sofa. The man asked his assistant to make two cups of coffee.
“Where are your children and your parents going? Tumben quiet?” asked Kenzo while looking around.
“They went out. You are a habit yes, asked instead of answering but instead back asking.” Ardi's housekeeper came with a tray containing two cups of coffee and a plate of snacks and
put it on the table.
Kenzo grinned the horse, “I want to let you know that Zahra finally decided to return to Jogja and continue his studies here,” he said. The man thanked the housekeeper Ardi.
Ardi picked up a cup of coffee from the table, he then blew it out slowly before taking a sip, “why did you tell it was the same me, it was none of my business,” he said then sipped the coffee slowly and then put it back on the table.
“Because I think Zahra decided that after she called you that time. Your advice is what made him change his mind.”
“Kok you know Zahra called me?” ask Ardi curiously.
“Because before he called you, he asked for your phone number to me.” Now it's Kenzo's turn to start enjoying the deep black coffee.
“Seek my number! Doesn't he have my phone number?” Ardi scrunched his forehead.
Kenzo felt the heat on his tongue, the young man was too eager to enjoy the coffee that looked so delicious, so he forgot that the coffee was served in the heat.
“Why you? Coffee drinking period should be in ajarin first,” ledek Ardi while holding back laughter seeing his best friend from earlier stuck out his tongue because he felt hot because his tongue was in contact with the concentrated black liquid.
“Your number has been deleted with Zahra, he said it does not matter also nyimpen your phone number. You're also a nobody he is, a girlfriend isn't, a friend isn't, a brother isn't either. He also said that you will not meet again,” said Kenzo while returning to enjoy a cup of coffee in his hand, but this time the man was more careful.
“Indeed save a person's number it should have a relationship first huh. If we know each other but are not close, can we not keep the person's number? Your cousin is weird too turns out.” Ardi sighed
long breath, so all this time the girl was thinking like that about her.
“Yes not really, maybe the way he thinks is different the way we think, or maybe there are too many phone numbers in his phone so he does not want to save your number. He also does not know you very closely, either,
during this time you also did not greet each other after your business the same he finished, right?” guess Kenzo, and it turns out that the guess was 100% right when he saw his best friend's expression.
“Do what say hello, while we are not familiar too. Later she thought I was trying to tease her again, when in reality..”.
“Iya..” cut Kenzo while holding back laughter.
Ardi threw a sofa pillow towards his best friend, but fortunately with a swift man immediately caught the sofa pillow that almost touched the face of his handsome.
“I'm actually still curious about you. Are you really interested in my cousin?” this time Kenzo's tone turned into a serious tone.
The sound of the door opening. Both Ardi's parents and his son entered the house.
“Siang Aunt, Om.” Kenzo stood up and kissed Ardi's parents' hands.
“Lanjutin aja chat you guys, we enter first,” said Jonny then stepped away and followed by Lina.
Rasya walked closer to his papa, “Pa..borrow his phone,” his door.
“What are you wearing for?” Ardi took his phone out of his pants pocket. Ardi told his son to say hello to Kenzo.
“Halo, Om,” he said then kissed Kenzo's hand.
“Your son is funny, I want to have children,” said Kenzo while rubbing the top of Rasya's head.
“Papa..siniin his phone,” pinta Rasya again.
“What is the phone doing?” ask Ardi while giving his phone to his son.
“Rasya want to call Mother, Rasya kangen the same Mother.” Rasya then leaves his father and Kenzo.
“You're still in touch with Kay?” ask Kenzo curiously. There's nothing Kenzo doesn't know about Ardi's life story. From his first marriage to his second marriage, which eventually all ran aground in the middle of the road, to make his best friend slumped into a terrible abyss.
Ardi got up from his seat, “we better talk outside,” he said then stepped foot towards the main door. Inevitably Kenzo follows Ardi from behind.
Now they are chatting in the courtyard. Ardi sat crouched down beside Kenzo.
“I don't want to forget Kay, but Rasya loves Kay so much and already considers her as his mother. I also can't forbid Rasya to call Kay mother, whereas Kay doesn't mind that.”
“Then you, how do you feel for Kay? Do you still love her, expecting her to come back with you?”
Ardi shook his head, “I can't do that, where I can separate them a second time. Just once I separated Arka from Kay, and it will never happen again. They're happy now, there's Kevin and Ansel who desperately need their affection. Would I have the heart to ruin their happiness just to meet my own ego,” he said.
“Then what will you do now?”
Ardi shuddered both his shoulders, “I don't know. I'm afraid to start a relationship again, I don't want to hurt anyone else again.”.
“Do you like Micel? Because from what I've seen all this time it seems like Micel is interested in you, that's why he always rejects me.”
Ardi then stood up, he put both palms into his pants pocket, then looked at his best friend who was still sitting next to him, “I only consider Micel as my best friend. Micel is a very nice girl and also considerate, but I don't like her at all.”.
Kenzo can breathe a sigh of relief after hearing the explanation of his best friend, that way he can continue to fight for his love for the girl, “if with Zahra, what do you feel? Didn't you praise her that time cute?” tanyanya.
Ardi momentarily silent, to make his best friend again ask a second time, “you sure there is no sense of the same Zahra?” ask again.
