LIEGE
FRUSTRATING

"Rin, are you okay?" ask Ardian carefully after Erina hangs up the phone. "Follow me. We go to the cafe. I want to coffee."

"In, I'm home." Erina stepped quickly leaving Ardian.

"Rin, wait for me!" call Ardian. "Gue take elo home."

"No need. I'll take a taxi."

"No!" Ardian caught up with Erina. Erina's arm. "Elo go home with me. No. I don't want to argue!"

"I'm not a heartbroken little boy." Erina tried to release the Ardian grip.

"Gue knows you're not an alay boy. But I know what you would do in a situation like this. Elo's going to the club, right?"

Erina was silent and did not answer. Also denied free. Ardian knows himself very well. Drinking is one of his escape to cure heartache.

"Gue interracial elo home. I don't want Andrew rambling with me if he knows how to fuck."

"In, please let me go. I need a drink to forget this."

"If you want a drink, don't go to the club. You can drink until you get drunk, but you drink at my house. Know?!"

"Let's Arga be angry."

"I'm not going to get angry. Let's have Amel's mom take care of me. Now come with me!"

"To your apartment in," pinta Erina.

"No. Danger."

"Danger why? Nothing will happen."

"Of course, we are normal men and women. Vulnerable was grazed by the demon," Ardian replied as he dragged Erina to follow him.

"It's impossible for something to happen. There is no physical attraction between us. Please Di, to your apartment," persuaded Erina.

Ardian did not respond to Erina's request. With long steps pulled the tomboy girl, making Erina half run to compensate for her steps.

"Please On." Erina continued to persuade. Ardian is unmoved. He knew the bad habits of his best friend. Usually he always accompanied when Erina was upset and ran away to drink. But tonight he didn't want to go to the club. Rather than letting Erina drink alone, she preferred to be scolded by her father for letting Erina drink in his house.

The Ardians and Erinas are not religious. Even the Erina family, whose father is American, is a fairly liberal family and frees their children from enjoying their youth. Even not infrequently Andrew invites Erina and Ardian to drink together. Make Andrew not a big problem Erina drink, as long as not to get drunk.

An hour later, they had reached Ardian's house. Erina who was used to visiting the house casually sneered into Ardian's room located on the second floor. Because his mind is complicated, not to mention Amel and Arga who are watching TV.

"Yes night, ma night." Ardian greeted his parents.

"Baby night. That's Erin why?" ask Amel. "Cock his face that jutek?"

"Damate, mi. Young people are heartbroken" replied Ardian. "Well, Ma, Ardi went up to the room."

"Di, don't forget to tell Erina's parents. Oh yes, if you are hungry, ask me to bring food to the room. I'm sure Erin won't come down."

"OKAY. Mom is a very understanding parent."

"In, tomorrow night Gustav and Starla return from France. You don't go anywhere. Tomorrow we have dinner at Om Dirga's restaurant."

"Every boss. Ardi ride first yes."

In the room, Erina took out a cigarette from inside the cigarette box she found on Ardian's desk

"Rin, eat first. There's snacks. That was mbok Iyem who brought it." Ardian thrust out a plate containing pieces of brownies.

"No ah. I have no appetite anymore."

"From this afternoon you haven't eaten. Now I want maghrib. If you want to drink, don't take an empty stomach" said Ardian. Erina doesn't bully Ardian's nag.

"Di, my fate is very unlucky."

"Why? Zafran's business?" asked Ardian while taking a cigarette tucked in Erina's fingers and then sucking it. Then return it to Erina.

"Don't get me cursed" Erina said absurdly after smoking her cigarette.

"Millennial kayaking now believes in curses. Hey, it's okay, Rin."

Ardian went into his room. Ardian brought a bottle of wine and two glasses.

"Rin.lo call Andrew or Aunt Yuna. Tell me you're in my house."

"They're not going to dance, Di. Moreover, they know that I go with elo."

"Am I not worthy of being a wife?"

Ardian looked at Erina from the top and then down.

"Who does not deserve it?"

"I finally went back and forth with my girlfriends," complained Erina slowly. He put wine in a glass, and then gulped it until it was not there.

"Slow down, Rin's.... Don't be in such a hurry." Ardian followed Erina's steps. But he sipped the wine slowly. Enjoy every sweet taste found in the drink.

"Am I le****n only?"

"Well, ngaco lo! Just had a glass of mabok. Don't have any strange thoughts," said Ardian.

"I think I'm going out with a guy if I just get hurt like this. I think Zafran is different from other guys. I was wrong."

"Not yet a mate," said Ardian origin. "Someday you'll be gonna find your soulmate."

"Soulmate's? Hah!.. don't make me ngakak deh, there is no such thing as soulmate in this world." Erina started to look drunk. I don't know how many glasses of wine he drank. What is clear is that the bottle that Ardian just opened left half.

"Gustav, Bimo, Darren, Enrique, Pras, Rio, Zafran.. They are all BRE****K!!" Erina was upset. Ardian just silently listened to the chattering of his best friend who began to get drunk. What Erina said was not wrong. The former series are all nothing more than baj***n cowardice.

Of all the former row, Gustav and Zafran are the longest relationship with Erina. The two betray Erina's love by having an affair. Especially Zafran. In their mid-20s, of course, the two-year relationship fostered hope in Erina's heart. Huge expectations regarding a lasting relationship, even if possible, end up in the guarantee.

The two men did end up in the brides, but not Erina the bride. Gustav eventually married Starla after they dated for five years. While Zafran, it also seems to have ended up in the brink with another girl. Not Erina.

"From today I promise I won't be dating again!" Erina kept on messing around. "The cookie is nothing more than a criminal kel***n, ba****n, coward, bre****k ...."

There was still a lot of meaning coming out of Erina's mouth. Ardian patiently accompanied without much comment. He knew Erina needed the release of her heartache. And now drink the way out.

In the past during college, Erina would vent her anger by beating a samsak or sparing with a gym friend. But one of his ex, Enrique, introduced Erina to wine and other liquor. Until finally Erina began to release her frustration by downing the illegal liquid.

Erina fell asleep on the sofa on the balcony. Ardian looked at his frustrated best friend. The head of the friend with affection. Rin, why so elo apes? Erina's body was lifted into the room and placed on the bed. She covers Erina's body. Let Erina sleep on her bed. Then he contacted Erina's parents to tell them where their daughter was.
