Tata, Vienna and Ghea asked me to meet at one of the cafes in Bandung. They asked me to come alone without Althara. And unlike usual Althara would just take me to the cafe and she also had an appointment with her three friends somewhere.
I took the elevator to get to the Cafe which is on the top floor of a famous hotel in Bandung.
When the elevator doors open. I was surprised to see Tata there.
“Heh you go where?” I asked him if he would get into the elevator.
“Fetch lo dong” answer her with a smile.
“Close first eye lo” pinta Tata that has prepared a soft eye patch made of fur. Tata tied her up so tight that I couldn't peek at all.
“Mo what the hell lo?” Ask me.
“Udah follow aja can ga sih ga ngomel” ketus Tata with annoyance.
Then I was led by Tata walking to his destination.
It was so dark I could not see the road in front of me. My hands were slowly pulled by Tata.
“Lewat here. There is a ladder. Yes nice” said Tata gave directions to me.
“A little more. Well diem here”
Then I stopped my steps.
“Do not open before we count to 3 ya” I feel Tata no longer holds me.
“1...” heard the voice of my friends started counting.
“2..3” then I opened my blindfold.
As soon as the glare with the scorching sun made my forehead wrinkle to wink.
“Surprise” shouted them by showing a table that has been decorated and so amazing with many cup cakes arranged on a cupcake stand that is composed of 3 levels. Then there are some white gas balloons floating on both sides of the beautiful table. On the wall there is a banner that says “Bridal To Shower Alhena” using a golden letter balloon followed by a yellow light around the balloon.
On the table there are also yellow and white twinkly lights that add to the beauty of a long decorative table that so many flowers and cakes are also brown on top of it.
I was unceasingly surprised to see the surprise my three friends gave me.
“Waw is so cool” praise me with still so amazed to see the surprise of them are very beautiful.
“Keren right?” Tanya Ghea was so proud of her.
“Sini dong here”
Venna pulled me to sit in front of the writing behind a decorative table and put on me a crown and a white cloth sash that read “Miss to Mrs” in a sling on my body.
They took pictures of me with their cell phones. I was in the style of miss universe in front of the camera with my happy smile.
Then it turns out they provide a photo gracher with a white shirt and an LSR camera in his hand. The four of us took photos together, and continued to style with the photographer's direction.
After a few hours, we ate before we finally got home.
“His marriage is finally in two places? Very cool Al” said Tata while inserting a spoon filled with food into his mouth.
“Ya we take the middle lane. I also do not want to make the Althara family disappointed, so we just accept input from Mother of his” replied me.
All nodded their heads no longer commenting.
“Eh Yes Al. Lo inget Roni ga?” Ghea's question made me think of trying to find a memory of Roni's name.
“Roni? who?” Answer me back to asking.
“He's the class leader who used to be disturbed by Tata it” replied Ghea made me remember him.
“Oh the cute Roni” answered me by rounding my eyes to remember the memories of our past that often mocked the person named Roni.
“Iyaa it. Do you know ga? She is now handsome tau,gue see on her Instagram. He so muscular body, sixpack, brown skin and really cool tree kayak coverboy gila” said Ghea with full of passion.
“Lebay sih lo” sahut Venna so disgusted to see the expression of Ghea.
“Ih actually lo see nih” Ghea took out her phone and immediately searched Roni's Instagram to show the authenticity of her speech.
Venna looked so surprised.
“Wih's Roni?” Tanya Venna snatched Ghea's phone.
“Iya” Ghea.
“Ih this is very different oath, the body is very cool gini. He's not gay, is he?” Venna asked so worried about it.
“Ya is not crazy” timpal Ghea back snatch his mobile phone.
“He's still normal times. He was able to have a girlfriend if according to his post, but break up now he is single” replied Ghea who knows it very well.
“Wiiihhh if I want it so story” sahut Tata with confidence.
Tata seemed to show me a row of teeth.
“Ya belom anyway, but yes mate right no one knows yes ga ?” He said with food still in his mouth.
I opened my eyes.
“Lo want to see ga?” Tanya Ghea handed her phone to me.
“Necessary. From the reaction of the two of you I can already believe that this Roni must have changed” answered me lazily to see it. Then I went back to finishing my remaining food on my plate.
After a few hours have passed. The four of us went home and parted in front of the cafe. Ghea and Venna had already left with the car and I and Tata were left.
“What am I staying for?” Tata asked when she was already in her car and was about to leave.
“I have nothing to wait for Althara kok this moment again he nyampe” replied me.
“Yes I've returned. Bye Alhena”'s
“Bye Tata” answer me.
Then I just stood in front of the building Cafe glanced right at my left looking for people, I was like a daze then I decided to go back to the basement and wait for Althara there.
I walked around holding my phone to tell Althara but the sound of a big horn followed by a small stamp on my waist made me startled to scream and fall.
“Awwww” scream I grimace in pain.
The car stopped in the middle of the basement and went down to help me.
He looks so neat with his shirt.
“Sorry sorry mbak I was in a hurry to immediately turn ga see there mbak” said the man helped me wake up.
I stood up with an irritated look on my face and cleaned my hands and knees. And thankfully my phone was not out of my grasp.
“Mbak okay?” Ask him what I still keep quiet.
Then I looked at her with my frown.
“Other times be careful yes mas please” ketus I stare at her cynically.
He looked at me in surprise.
“Alhena!” Call her to say my name.
I frowned and noticed if I had ever known his face.
“Gue Roni Al” I instantly raised both my eyes as soon as I heard her mention her name.
We were just talking about this man, and now he's in front of me. I immediately noticed her body that had indeed changed so drastically.
“Oh hey. Turns out elo Ron” greeted me by patting his shoulder.
“Lo can be here?” Ask me wonder.
“Gue has a meeting here”
“Wih great ya lo, changed very lo now” said I so praise his changes either from the physical or his achievements.
“Iya Al I still want input from elo kok first” his words make me confused.
I was silent to see him.
“Input?” Ask me.
“Elo once said. Smart is not enough for me to be appreciated by people, and sometimes we need a change in appearance in order to change the views of others to us. And walaaa,gue ga just ngandelin pinter, now I want more appearance so that I am not in the eye again” said Roni trying to remind me of the advice I once gave.
“Gue ever said that?” Ask someone who can't remember.
“Iya Al lo once said that when I was alone in class and nothing nemenin me. Even lo always belain me if temen lo Tata that much bully I” said Roni with the look of his face that was so amazed to see me.
I forgot what she was talking about, but I always warned Tata that she was too much of a bully. Not only to Roni, sometimes Tata likes to prank her classmates, even mocked people who in her view are funny.
“Oh yes? I even forgot it” replied me with still clumsy.
“But I will never be able to escape that motivation Al. Your words have always been my encouragement all this time, I tried to change all this time because of lo”
I smiled hearing it.
“and even I hope you can like with my change now”
I was stunned to hear it.
Roni said it by looking at me so seriously. I don't know what to answer to him. His appearance has indeed changed so much, even my three friends can be unemployed. But his words made me even more clumsy.
