ACHARADINES

Poetry Night Event Plan

Sundays. A day when people take a break from activities outside the home. Calms the heart and mind, after fatigue work, also undergo their respective activities outside it.

Time has shown at 9am. Meanwhile, Aksa was still lying on her bed— wriggling on the bed while listening to her favorite music.

The man was engrossed in listening to the accompaniment of the slow rock music he was playing; swept away in the atmosphere of martyrdom in his room that morning.

DRRTI...DRRTI...DRRTI...

Aksa's phone vibrates, visible on the screen of his phone there is a notification of incoming messages from Arvin— his best friend.

Aksa grabbed her phone which was on the edge of the pillow, where she put it.

Conversation incoming messages.

"How about next Sunday, you come with me to the poetry night?"

"Two?" Reply Aksa.

"Yes not dong. I'm with Nayara."

"Keep, I'm alone, right? No, ah, lazy. I am no longer in the mood to be a mosquito repellent" Aksa refused.

"You take Radinda. So you have a couple fit in there."

"Ngaco. He wants me to take the road."

"Will definitely."

"I'm not sure."

"That's why you have to convince him. Fight for what you have to fight for."

"You mean?"

"Udahlah, Aksa. Don't be naive. I know you like Radinda."

"Sot! Haven't seen a coffee cup fly into your face?"

"No, hahaha. Like, yes, say like. Don't pretend like that."

"Then, you walk together with Nayara to get there"

"It was aja ngambek. Come on my best friend.please, just this once. Nayara really forced me to attend. I'm lazy if only the two of you attend poetry night. Accompany your best friend this time, please, "please, please Arvin.

"Well then. You're the same Nayara, I'm alone. Let's just say I'm both your bodyguards."

"You take Radinda!"

"No need to."

"Yes already. Be prepared to be jealous, and embarrassed to come without a partner. because the one who held the poetry night event was Danita's new boyfriend. Danita must be there."

"Seriously?"

"Never been this serious."

"..."

Aksa put down her phone—think for a moment.

How, in order to invite Radinda to attend a poetry night event. Where should I begin to approach further with the woman. Inner says.

Time shows at 5pm. It was seen that the vehicle often passed along the road where the coffee shop stood.

In the corner of the room, right next to the coffee bar, Radinda was sitting looking at the writing on her laptop screen.

Radinda was thinking, how to make the poem complete, and closed with a really beautiful diction at the end of the sentence.

"Do you like to write poetry?"

Asked a woman who was out of nowhere to come, suddenly already in front of Radinda.

"Satitaaaa..."

Surprised mixed with feelings of pleasure, that's what Radinda felt when today— saw her best friend who was now standing right in front of her now. This was their first meeting, after 4 years they had not met.

Danita hugged her best friend's body warmly.

"How are you?"

Radinda asked with a bright smile.

"Good news. You alone, how?"

"Alhamdulillah, I am also good. It's just empty."

"empty?"

Danita scrunched her forehead.

"Yes, empty. Haha, his heart."

They both laughed at the words just now.

"You can just. How could a woman as beautiful as you no one wants to."

"A lot, anyway, who wants to be the same me. But I'm just one person" Radinda explained.

"Who?"

Radinda has not had time to answer questions from Danita, suddenly he realized that the man he meant was Aksa— ex-best friend himself. There's no way he's telling Danita that the person he's referring to is Aksa. That's so ridiculous.

Danita brought her face closer to Radinda. Curious about what Radinda would say.

"Cock you shut up? Answer dong."

"Oh yes. We kept talking until I forgot to offer something. Like coffee? What coffee do you want to make?"

Radinda diverted the conversation. Radinda did not want to tell him that the man she was referring to was Aksa.

"If you don't want to tell me about it, forget about it. I want to make a cappucino," Danita smiled faintly.

Radinda then moved out of place to make a cappucino.

After Radinda finished providing a cappucino for the two of them, then they talked to each other about their lives each— as long as they separated for 4 years.

The more afternoon, the atmosphere in the coffee shop is getting crowded with visitors. Not felt, they have spent 1 hour to meet and tell stories. The coffee that was on their table, now empty is not left.

"I think I should go home now."

Danita saw the watch she was wearing. Time has shown at 6pm.

"A lot of hurry."

"Yes, I have an appointment to see my boyfriend tonight. Want to talk about preparing for next Sunday's poetry night" Danita told me.

Oh, so Danita wants to see Aksa tonight. Batin Radinda said.

"Night poem? When, uh?"

Radinda threw a question, as if she was interested in what her best friend had said.

"Sunday Night. You must also attend, "take Danita.

"Hmm, how, yeah. I seem to be busy."

Radinda showed a forced smile. Refusing Danita's invitation.

What will be the heart of Radinda, if the man she likes, make out with Danita later. Obviously if Radinda refused his best friend's invitation.

Radinda could do nothing, other than surrender to the circumstances that bound her hopes, so as not to grow busier. Radinda's desire to get closer to Aksa's figure is getting thinner.

"It's okay if you're busy.maybe next time you can attend it," Danita returned the smile of her best friend.

Then they both split up at that place. Danita left the coffee shop, while Radinda sat back in her place, to continue the poem she had been postponing because she had been busy telling stories with Danita since dariitadi.

There is something just as sad as goodbye. That is when you put your heart to someone, but you are powerless to get closer to them.
