7 Days With Althara

Popcorn Caramel

The next day when I came home from Restaurant Rey picked me up on time without giving me the chance to change clothes. I still wear formal clothes.

“Where is Rey in a hurry amat”

Ledek me when he got into his car.

“When I'm with you it's really short, so I don't want to waste any more time”

I smiled at her words.

Then she drove her car to our destination to watch in a mall.

Rey and I arrived at the cinema. A lot of people passed by there. Rey seemed to be looking for someone among the people around her.

“Who to look for?”

“Carii.. ah that's him” Rey said as she raised her hand to the person she found.

I looked at the direction of the person who was greeting Rey from afar.

Althara !

I was surprised to see him there and even more surprised when there was Billa beside him. Billa returned Rey's hand with a happy smile. While Althara was staring at me still cold.

Why didn't Rey tell you there were them ?

If only I knew if Rey invited them to watch a movie I would have rejected Rey's invitation outright.

They walked towards us both.

“Hay Rey,hay Alhena” greet Billa with passion.

“Hay” said me while smiling stiffly at him.

“Hay Tar, kok lo tumben want to watch tar, usually also lo malls if already invited to watch gini” ledek Rey.

Althara glanced at me as if saying she was here because there was me.

“Gue again bosen aja dihome” answers her cold.

“Well so dong, don't be monotonous very much idup lo times have to hangout” said Rey lectured him. Althara just smiled wryly hearing her.

“Oh yes ticket already pesen?” Ask Rey.

“Udah's 4 tiket” Billa shows a strand of tickets in his hands.

“That's what movie Bill? Not a ghost movie, right? Alhena doesn't like to watch ghost movies because” Tanya Rey remembers I was so scared to watch a scary movie.

Rey's words made Billa stare at me confused. I don't know why I think Billa's gaze was strange to me at the time.

Billa shook her head while smiling sweetly.

“Not,not a horror movie kok”

Billa was still staring at me with a look that I thought had something.

“Euh yes have mending you guys buy popcorn first” pinta Rey.

“Yes, yu Al” invite Billa to pull my hand.

I walked up to her to line up in front of the cashier.

“Emang you're as scared as that don't like horror movies?” Tanya Billa suddenly.

I nodded my head while smiling kindly at him.

“Iya. I love not being able to sleep if I've seen that movie”

Then he nodded his head while smiling as if he understood me.

Until we are in front of the cashier after waiting in line for a moment.

“Mba 4 popcorn yes and 4 cola” pinta Billa to the cashier.

“Bby mba, the salty or caramel?” Ask the cashier.

“Euh.”

“Caramel 2” cut me considering me and Althara don't like salty.

Billa was confused to see me who suddenly asked without asking first.

“2 Caramel?”

“Iya I don't like salty because” said I explained.

“That one is?” Ask him with his astonished face.

I just realized why I didn't wait for Billa to ask what I was going to order. But my memory is so strong that even Althara doesn't like salt.

“Make you right?” Stuttering me in panic.

“I don't like caramel Al and as I recall Rey doesn't like Caramel” either

He kept watching my face.

“Hah time? But that time if it's not wrong Rey pesennya caramel also” tangkis me by trying to calm down.

Billa and I saw that the order was already made for another cashier partner.

“Oke is okay” says sweet Billa.

I cursed myself in my heart, because I could be that careless.

I brought 2 caramel popcorn and 2 sodas in my hand. Then Billa and I immediately approached the men waiting for us.

“This is mine?” Ask Rey.

Actually, I hesitated to give the popcron out of fear that Rey really did not like it.

“Wow this is Caramel Alhena, I would not like too sweet” said Rey makes me look more stupid.

“So I've told you that you don't like caramel but Alhena is responsible so yes already gapapa”

I can only keep quiet and make no defense, because I'm the stupid one here. I may even remember Althara's popcorn, and why the popcorn problem alone needs to be in trouble like this.

“Caves who love caramel” said Althara while snatching the pop corn from my hands.

Then Althara walked away leaving us still confused. I feel Billa still continues to look at me suspiciously, but I don't know what she thinks I can guess.

We started watching action movies with chairs lined up. We enjoyed the film quietly, occasionally I glanced at Althara who was seriously watching the film with her cold face. Unknowingly my knotty smile came out when I saw her beside me.

After the film is finished. All the cinema visitors scattered out and flocked immediately out of there.

“I go to the toilet first ya”.

“Euh I came with” Billa tailed behind me to go into the toilet.

Finished I urinated I saw Billa who still continued to wash her hands in the washbasin with a stiff gaze looking at my reflection in the mirror.

I smiled at him and washed my hands in his side sink.

“Al anyone I want to ask you” said Billa made me stop drying my hands in the hand dryer because the noise of the hand dryer made Billa's voice muffled.

“Why Bill?”

Billa seemed confused to talk to me, but she tried to look relaxed.

“How many times have you met Althara?”

I looked at him confusedly and tried to find a reasonable answer.

“New several times”

“You ever talked to Althara before?”

I'm getting confused by his question.

“Means?”

“Sorry does not mean I intimidate you weird, I just want to know how far Rey knowsin Althara to you”

I shook my head.

“Ga there, during the meeting Althara he was always cold” said I look for reasons.

“But, how could two people who before them didn't know each other they could know things they didn't like about each other?” Tanya Billa finally.

I was shocked to hear his question.

“Means?” Ask me.

“So I pesen ticket, actually I have plans to watch Scary Movie when Rey invited me to watch. But suddenly Althara said, don't, don't want to watch that movie..”.

“He won't like horror movies, later he can't sleep”

I was a little surprised to hear it.

“Then ?”

“Rey and Althara's words were clearly the same, they know if you do not like horror film”

I chuckled at her fear.

“Ya maybe Rey has told Althara that I don't like Bil” horror movies I replied while smiling trying to calm down.

“Ya maybe if for that you are right” said his smile.

“But there is another one that makes me wonder al” turns out he is not finished, there are still things he wants to say about Althara like him.

“You popcorn pesen earlier as if you already know if there are others who also like popcorn it”

Turns out he realized that. I smiled back to hear it.

“Ngga Bil, I'm not pesenin for anyone. I really like caramel popcorn, and I don't want Rey like what so I play pesenin 2 aja Live earlier”

Billa nodded her head again.

“Iya maybe all that feeling I just time yes, sorry well has been a strange integration rich gini Al”

Say it with regret.

“Yes Yes Bill It’s Ok”
