SYAHDU (Contract Sleep Friends)
A Very Close Hugs of Missing

From a distance, the story is about us

Distant distance and time

I want to express my miss through beautiful words

It's not enough for you, because you're too beautiful than words. The world stops for a moment to enjoy your beauty...

...*...

Syahdu could not move from his place when he saw Arga walking quickly towards him. What the man would do, Syahdu could not guess. What is currently happening is that he was unable to dodge when Arga suddenly just grabbed him in his arms.

Very close, until Syahdu can hear the heartbeat of Arga so tight. The same thing with him, Arga's embrace made Syahdu's body freeze with a beat no less great on his chest.

Syahdu did not dare to raise his hand to return Arga's embrace. Merely, he felt a feeling that had been held back at the bottom of his heart even sticking out without his permission. Something turbulent made Syahdu want to cry in Arga's arms. He cursed the man, why the years had passed his scent was still the same, making Syahdu's memory return to the time when he and Arga often slept together.

Lama Arga hugged him, as if he was absorbing the energy in Syahdu that had long since disappeared from him.

Syahdu and Arga sat quietly for a long time. It has been 15 minutes, Arga still continues to hold and stroke Syahdu's hand. He tilted his body, sitting leaning towards Shahdu.

"You are finally here, Syahdu.."

The first word that came out of Arga's lips, made Syahdu look at the eyes that now turned warm. The spotlight felt pierced into his heart, making Syahdu realize how much Arga missed him.

Arga looked at the fingers of the Shahdu fingers he held. "Where have you been all this time? I've been looking for you everywhere, but you're leaving without a trace." Arga gave a small smile considering his great efforts in finding the girl who was now in front of him.

"Thank you for coming." He said later with a big smile. "What.. Did you hear my podcast yesterday? Or. 'cause tomorrow's my birthday, huh?"

Syahdu also stared at his finger held by Arga. Not a word came from his lips. For some reason, seeing how happy Arga is now makes him understand how much Arga has had his day so far. Syahdu could even feel Arga's voice and hands trembling slightly.

"You.. nginep here, right? This apartment is yours, Syahdu. Everyone is just as rich, right? I'm not changing one bit so you can be as comfortable as you used to be." He said again, trying to dilute the quite awkward atmosphere between them.

"I really didn't think you'd finally come, Syahdu. I. I feel like this is a dream." Arga laughed a little. His voice still sounded trembling, while Syahdu looked into his eyes.

Arga's face rose, he returned Syahdu's gaze. "You know, if I miss you so much, you miss you so much." The man said at last with tears welling up.

Shahdu did not dare to look at him for long. The girl looked down because she felt sorry and guilty. Arga was crying for it.

Slowly Syahdu pulled his hand from Arga's grasp. The girl looked puzzled for a moment as Arga changed expression due to the hand that Syahdu had released.

"I-I'm going to the bathroom."

Without looking at Arga, Syahdu went to the bathroom and closed the door. Her tears were shed there. Syahdu shut his mouth, not wanting any sound to be heard by Arga. He was sobbing, I don't know what he was feeling right now. Sad, happy, angry, sorry, and of course the affection that just came to his heart.

I have never felt this in Arga before. After that hug, Syahdu could not help it anymore that indeed his feelings for Arga were as clear as it was now. Moreover, seeing Arga's earnestness, the door of his heart opened very wide welcoming the man.

After a slight calm, he wiped his tears and opened the door. Syahdu was surprised to find Arga standing at the door. The man's face was panicking.

"Why? Is anyone sick? What if the moon still hurts, Syahdu?"

Syahdu stared at Arga's brown bead. That radiant worry, he had seen it before. At that time Syahdu did not realize that Arga had loved him first.

Syahdu stepped forward. He opened both hands, then wrapped them around Arga's waist. Syahdu hugged the man, leaning against the chest that now felt more fielded.

Arga's tremors intensified when she was embraced by something that calmed the soul. Syahdu held it tightly and closed his eyes, enjoying Arga's increasingly tight beat.

Anesthetized. The man was shaking with the blood flow getting tighter. Not wanting to miss the opportunity, he also returned with a hug that then incessantly dyed the top of Syahdu's head.

Arga smiled again. Not without cause, he felt very happy and grateful for the presence of Syahdu again at this time. The appearance of the girl seems to be the most beautiful gift for her birthday tomorrow. But suddenly his smile faded as he remembered tomorrow...

"Shahdu.."

"Hmmm.."

"You.. Keep it here, right?" He asked carefully, considering that he currently did not know clearly the meaning of this girl's appearance.

Not yet Syahdu replied, Arga's phone rang. He grabbed it on the nightstand, then picked up the phone from Ibra.

"Don't bother me now until next week."

'WHAA!!'

Arga immediately closed the call even before Ibra explained anything.

"Don't you have an event tonight, huh?" Tanya Syahdu remembered the billboard he had read.

"H 'em. But I'm canceling. You're more important now."

"No, don't do it. Kasian right, Ibra's gonna get in trouble later."

Arga squinted his eyes. The last time Syahdu left her was on the eve of her birthday. Is this girl leaving him again?

"Where are you going?" Ask probing.

"I'm not going anywhere."

"I don't want you to go again, Syahdu."

Syahdu. He understands now. Arga must be afraid that he will be left behind again, especially tomorrow is his birthday.

"I'm not going anywhere, Ga. I'm here, waiting for you."

Arga did not answer. He just kept staring at Syahdu's face.

"Take a. I'm with Popi here. You go, don't disappoint your fans. I'm not going anywhere, I promise..." Not yet he completed his sentence, his tongue was restrained when he realized he had promised to stay by Arga's side but he denied it for real.

Syahdu sighed. He knew that nothing could take away the worry in Arga's heart at this moment because his promise meant nothing to him.

"I'm coming. I'll be there to watch you sing."

Eyebrows Arga up. "Would you like to see me perform?"

Syahdu. "Yes. I want to see you."

The man smiled, "Okay. We will leave later in the afternoon. I don't want you to go alone, even close. There, my men will take care of you. Understand, right?"

Syahdu nodded, letting Arga decide something related to him so that the man was satisfied and did not hesitate or feel lost.
