A Story About Us And Taste
#11
“Wah bu Nala ngopi?” greet a security who disperse the reverie of Nala
“eh sir Asep. Here, I was going to coffee but suddenly my stomach acid went up pack so a bit crowded. I haven't drank yet sir. If you want this can be for gap” Nala thrusting the glass he holds
“A serious mom? I happen to want to make this coffee. Wow this windfall made coffee same Nala ma'am, thanks a lot mom, I bring ya coffee? Bu Nala mending just go home aja bu than later add sore” smile Asep sir
Mr. Asep passed. Nala who planned to work overtime tetiba canceled it and rushed home. In the middle of the trip he stopped at one of the coffee shops, after ordering him to sit at the end of the window while pressing the contact button Rendy number.
“Nal, why?” Rendy picked up Nala's phone
“Ngapain Ren?” Ask Nala
“Again jogging, duh cape” lamented while sitting leaning and drinking mineral water
“Hey diem, why?” rendy was confused
“Ren, cave should be same Tama?” nala's voice was suffocating
Rendy sat down and listened to Nala's voice
“Nal, slow down..what's up?” Rendy tries to calm her best friend who she knows is not well – is fine.
Rendy switched her phone line to a video call, and sure enough Nala seemed to be crying and looking down sluggishly across the street.
Shortly after Nala was able to control herself, she told him what happened to her and Tama. To be honest Rendy wasn't so surprised to hear Tama express her feelings for Nala.
It's been very clear that Tama has liked her best friend ever since they met in the hospital for the first time.
“Trus what would you say to Tama, Nal?” he continued after Nala finished telling the story
“Gua ga tau Ren, cave will be the most selfish human if you love Tama while there are unfinished things from the cave past.” Nala said softly
“Not the past Nal, but even now still. Only you guys who are mutually prestigious to open with each other, replied Rendy
Rendy is instantly speechless considering that two weeks ago Ray called her and told her about Adelia and her matchmaking.
“if you really want to open a new sheet, please finish it first between you. Do not attract and hurt others into your life” said Rendy
Nala was shocked to hear what Rendy said
“What do you mean Ren?” tanyanya was confused
“Lu find the answer yourself yes Nal, cave can not meddle between you” smile Rendy
Nala disconnects the video call with Rendy. she is silent thinking about what Rendy means.
*Rendy: “Before things get more complicated. You better be clear and find your own answers. Gua sure you can. spirit lovequuu ^o^.”
Rendy's message further confused Nala. He then immediately called someone
“Mas Tama, sorry I have a sudden event tomorrow until the day after so the possibility of meeting me undur mas” Nala ventured to call Tama
“It's okay Nala, please don't be a burden. Whatever it is be careful on the road yaa” smile Tama
Tama turned off the phone.
Nala came home. Arriving at home he immediately took out his small suitcase and put in the things he needed. He decided to meet Ray in Singapore. He had already booked the plane and hotel tickets at the time after calling Tama.
The next day Nala was at the airport. The flight is at 14:00 WIB
*Nala: “Gua airport, otewe Singapore”
Nala's message instantly woke Rendy up in her nap
“Rendy : “Safe flight, dear”
Nala just smiled reading a reply from Rendy. His heart was round to ask for clarity about what Ray felt to himself so far. He did not want to be haunted by gray feelings.
Two hours drive Nala finally arrived in front of the hospital where Ray worked, before he had checked in and put his belongings in the hotel.
He rushes to call Ray and will inform him that he is in front of the Hospital.
After twice not getting an answer from Ray, Nala is surprised to see Ray walking with a woman and they look quite familiar.
A few moments later Ray is surprised to find Nala in front of him
“Nala.” Ray walked half-run towards Nala
“You're here?” Ray smiled broadly in disbelief at what he saw then spontaneously hugged Nala warmly
Adelia who was walking with Ray looked very surprised. He had never seen Ray so happy and friendly towards women let alone hugging him.
“Why call ga ga lifted hey?” nala's Protest on Ray
“Call?” Ray immediately checked his pocket
“Yes forlorn in the dugout, sorry ya Nal” smile Ray
Nala then turned to look at Adelia and Ray
“She Adelia, my friend” Ray introduced Adelia
“Adelia” greet Adelia gently while smiling
“Nala” reply Nala with a smile
“Nala?” adelia's Beo in her heart
“Sorry yes Ray cave disturb suddenly here” said Nala
“Gak, Nal. Pliss happy cave. Come with us to lunch and chat there” Ray clasped Nala's hand, Adelia pensive to see what Ray did to Nala. I don't know why his heart is so sad.
Arriving at the place of eating, Ray ordered two servings of food and drinks Nala's favorite.
“Del want to eat what?” ray's question made Adel surprised and he immediately told the waiter his order.
Adelia feels awkward between Ray and Nala. Especially seeing Ray who looks very happy with Nala but he tries to deny his jealousy to Nala.
“You guys had lunch this afternoon?” Nala asked Adelia
“This is still lucky Nal, usual magrib we can only eat after a day” Adelia replied with a smile
Nala looked up and looked at Ray
“Lanky pants” chirps
Ray just smiled stroking Nala's head which of course did not escape Adelia's attention. Ray's treatment of Nala hurt Adelia.
These past few weeks Adelia's relationship with Ray has been pretty good. Not infrequently they eat together and talk without awkward joking. But, today seeing what Ray did to Nala made Adelia again doubt Ray's heart for her.
“So, Nala's brother mas Ray?” Ask Adelia curious
Ray and Nala stared at each other
“Not..” replied Nala stammered
“He's my best friend Del” Ray replied with a smile
“Hmm.. palat” Adelia's heart is getting erratic. Adelia grabbed her phone and got up from her seat
“Sorry to have a phone call, just a second ya” lied to Nala and Ray
Adelia goes out of the cafe and puts her phone in the ear as if she was calling someone, she looks at Ray and Nala from behind.
a few moments later he rushed back in
“Mas Ray sorry I first yes there is urgent” tetiba Adelia took her wallet
“But you haven't eaten Del?” ray was confused
“Gapapa mas, easy later in the canteen I buy food. Nala I first yes..pleased to meet you” saying Adel half ran to the exit that was stared by Nala and Ray
Nala who had realized what had happened to Adelia was not feeling well. Maybe he shouldn't be there with Ray and Adelia.
