"How come you can suddenly look for the present?" asked Reno watching me check the gift rack here and there.
"Oh Ren, I forgot that today is Widya's birthday. She also invited me 10 minutes before leaving, isn't that crazy!" I said panicked, while Reno just winced at my explanation.
My eyes wiped every shelf there, from hanging to tucked in I checked one by one. "Ouch... What's right for Widya?" I muttered still confused.
At that time, my eyes immediately stared at the rows of colorful binder papers, I came closer and saw them. "Well, here it is" I said cheerfully.
I chose a few with different colors and patterns, pretty and soft colors. After selecting the binder paper I took the red cover, Widya's favorite color.
"How? Have you got it?" he asked.
"Come on, let's go" I replied.
We walked towards the cashier, and at the same time asked the cashier to wrap it in gift paper. "Okay, it's time to go back to the square" I said feeling very relieved.
"Ren, thanks for helping me."
"You're welcome, we're friends" Reno said with his trademark smile.
Reno parked his motorbike to its original place, I saw from a distance Widya was busy joking around. I'm happy to see her laugh being so loose, it's only natural that Widya has many friends because she is the type of person who is easy to get along with.
"How come Nimas is still here? Come on, give the present to Widya," said Reno.
I silently clutched the gift tightly. "Ren, to be honest, I'm not confident. See the piles of presents over there? My gifts are nothing compared to them, and look at my appearance... I..." I interrupted and then looked down.
"You're beautiful, sweetie" Reno replied looking at me deeply. "Here you are... Appearance is what it is, simple but in my opinion cool. And the problem with gifts, don't look at how much they give to Widya, because sincerity is more valuable than those big gifts" Reno tried to convince.
"Are you being honest? Or are you just entertaining me?!" I said glancing at him sharply.
"Ish, I'm serious! Don't look at me like that, I'm really scared" he said warily. "If you're fierce, you're so tardy, you don't have a boyfriend, you know"
"Whatever!" I said.
In the middle of our journey suddenly a girl confronted us both. "Where have you been?" she asked. She is the girl who saw me cynically when I met earlier, she is Widya's friend but we are in different schools. Her face looked very annoyed, looked at Reno then glanced at me sharply.
"I'm done from..." just about to answer, suddenly Reno cut me off.
"We've been out for a walk while we're back at the square, huh... We're going around for a bit. Why?" Reno said looking back at the girl sharply.
"Reno... We..."
"Come on Nimas, Widya is already waiting. I'll go first, Win," said Reno casually walking straight while embracing my shoulder. Meanwhile, the girl looked at us with a red face holding back annoyance.
"What's this? Don't let go!" I muttered.
"I've helped you, now I'm begging for your help. Please be quiet until we're far from that girl, after this you can hit me with your favorite sandal style!" said Reno in a whisper.
"You're crazy!", I don't know what Reno's attitude means. And... What's Reno got to do with that girl? It seems they know each other. Well, Reno has helped me so I have to help him too. Even though it was actually very awkward because Reno's hand hugged my shoulder.
After we got close to Widya, Reno just wanted to let go of his embrace. He waved and smiled, he really looked ridiculous.
"You freak!" I muttered a glance at him.
I forgot about what just happened and focused on Widya. "Widya, happy birthday. I'm sorry if I gave this simple gift, but our friendship is still the most special. Anyway, best wishes for my best friend," I said and hugged her.
"Nimas, thank you," answered Widya, smiling with emotion, she received a gift from me and then hugged me too. "At home, this is the first present I want to open," said Widya cheerfully.
I am very grateful that Widya is happy with the gift I gave her, she really appreciates me.
It was 20.30 at night, some of Widya's friends had already said goodbye, only a few people were left. While Reno and Dika were smoking in a place a bit far from us. I'm already getting worried, grandma must be waiting for me at home. But it won't be good if I take Widya home now, isn't it possible for Widya to leave her friends who haven't come home yet?
"Uh yeah, what was your name?" asked one of Widya's friends who had blocked me and Reno.
"My name is Nimas" I answered briefly with a smile. Forget about the treatment.
Let's call her name Wiwin, a beautiful girl with clean skin and always looks at me sarcastically. I don't know what the problem is, we just met, we just met, but her accent is very clear, she doesn't like me.
"Oh, Nimas. Um..." Wiwin looked at me from head to toe. "Where do you go to school?"
"I go to the same school as Widya, we are also in the same class" I answered.
"Oh, right" her bitchy face looks even more.
"Why is it Win?" asked Widya who didn't like Wiwin's attitude.
"It's okay Wid, I thought all of your friends were well-known kids. Turns out there were some who weren't. Where did you go with Reno earlier?" continued Wiwin glanced at me sharply.
So... She still wants to make an issue of me and Reno leaving earlier, do they also know each other?
"Earlier I asked Reno to accompany me for a while"
"Then why are you guys just going out together? You deliberately took advantage of Widya's birthday moment to seduce Reno? Right?!
"Sorry, what do you mean?" I said increasingly did not understand with Wiwin's attitude.
