Graduation Party

After lunch Rena and Albian went back to watching the movie. I don't know what movie they saw. 

The atmosphere is very quiet. Rena wasn't really focused on watching. Same with Albian. They are busy with their own thoughts.

"I'm not my papa's real son at the moment" Rena said suddenly making Albian turn.

"Since I was 5 years old, I've been used to seeing my biological father making out with other women" Rena then looked at Albian who was also staring at her.

"Mama can only cry in the room. The peak when I was 10. Papa's getting rough. Mama always battered beaten papa. That's when my mom decided to divorce. And 7 years ago I became the woman who had taken a little girl"

Rena sighed with her gaze straight ahead looking far away.

"Nearly 3 years I've been in contact with her, I really didn't know that she already had a family. We knit dreams together to have a home. Until that night I knew everything". Rena's hands started trembling and breaking out in cold sweat. Rena closed her eyes.

Albian hugged Rena and rubbed her back. They hugged for a long time without saying anything.

After feeling better Rena let go of Albian's embrace.

"Milary .." 

"Ga nothing" said Albian smiling.

"Out yuk" 

"Where are you going?" Ask Rena.

"I know somewhere you'd love to be" says Albian.

Rena scrunched her forehead. " Are you sure I'll like it?"

"That's sure. Take Cindy all" said Albian.

"As soon as I called Cindy first, maybe she's still on campus"

Albian nodded then tidied up the table that had been filled with food while waiting for Rena to call Cindy.

They're ready after calling Cindy. They made a pact to meet in person because Cindy was still in college.

They took a long journey on an Albian motorcycle. They were almost 1 hour on the trip. Their small talk makes their trip feel fast.

Arriving at the destination Albian parked the bike. Rena then went down and opened her helmet.

"Waaaah" the admiration he felt when he saw the place.

A small restaurant located in the suburbs. Beautiful pages filled with different types of plants. And in it there are no less many plants. It feels so calming.

They both went into the restaurant. There were not many visitors at the time. 

"Son Albian" said a middle-aged woman who was in the kitchen. 

The restaurant has an open kitchen. Customers can see the cooking process. 

"How are you doing Bi?" Albian asked after they hugged.

"As seen" Julia smiled. Julia's gaze now turned to Rena then turned back to Albian.

"Did you know, this is Rena, one of my bosses at the restaurant where I work now" Albian said.

Rena patted Albian's shoulder. 

"You're my boss, aren't you?" Albian asked with her innocent pretentious face.

Rena rolled her eyes lazily responding to Albian. Then Rena shook hands with Julia while bowing her head slightly. 

"Beautiful.." praise Julia.

The praise made Rena's white cheeks blush.

"thank you. Aunt is also very pretty" said Rena.

Julia is truly beautiful at a young age. 

"thank you. I was tired of hearing that compliment" 

The brand laughed in response to Rena's words.

Then Rena dn Albian sat in one corner by the window.

"Who is Julia's aunt?" Ask Rena.

"My bundle of friends"

Rena rounded her lips then nodded her nod.

"You want to eat first or you want to see the scenery here first?" Ask Albian.

"We look around the scenery first yuk" said Rena.

"Come, behind there is a flower garden and herb garden" said Albian.

They also moved from their seats. 

"Where are you guys going?" Julia asked who saw Albian and Rena walking.

"You go back a little Bi" replied Albian.

" Wouldn't you drink first?" 

"Later Bi, I'll do it myself. Aunty calm down" replied Albian smiling.

"Alright" Julia said, then back to the kitchen and they walked back to the backyard.
