Daniel and Jeff arrive at the cafe that Daniel was referring to, as Daniel had told earlier, the cafe
it was indeed very crowded because it was still in promotion time. Many young people are seen spending their time there with a boyfriend or just hanging out with his friends.
Drrtt...
Jeff opened the incoming message on his phone.
Hey, Bro. Is this you? What are you doing and
who are you with?
haha
*images*
The message from Made made Jeff
cuddly looking for the sender of the message with a photo of him standing behind Daniel. But nil. Made is invisible everywhere.
Don't look for me, you idiot. I
I was with my boyfriend
I'll call you back later. Tell me everything
yes later >.<
“Pacar? Wasn't she the most excited when she met Naomi yesterday?” muttered Jeff a little confused and then put his cellphone back into his pants pocket.
Jeff and Daniel get an empty bench in the front corner of the cafe. They sit on a white bench with
a small artificial plant in purple and white is placed in the center of the table, right in front of a large window with yellow lace curtains tied with a white ribbon in the middle. Spot that fits perfectly with today's sunny weather. Not only inside the cafe, outside also seen crowded streets, maybe because it is a holiday. Some middle-aged men paddled bicycles casually complete with self-protective gear. Some young people sit on park benches that turn their backs on the highway while occasionally taking selfies
with their friends.
“Is it always crowded like this?” jeff asked as he sipped his hot americano.
“Hmmm?” daniel is busy scooping cheese cake
“Is it always crowded here? I used to remember this area is not as crowded now.”
“Oh, this past year has been crowded since the sidewalk and city park were renovated.”
Jeff nodded lazily. They are both busy with their own activities, Daniel is busy spending his food and Jeff is busy with the book he was carrying.
“Hai, can I sit here?” asked a man in a red training suit, a mask and a black and tall hat bucket who suddenly approached them with a glass of iced coffee in his hand.
Jeff dropped the book he had read and looked around, and indeed this cafe was
so crowded that there was no seat left. “Please.” Her words allowed her to sit on the wooden chair beside her.
Jeff squinted his eyes, “Made?”
The man smiled, despite wearing a mask but his smile was visible from his narrowed eyes.
“But I want to pretend to be a stranger. Oiya, who is he?” ask Made while pointing towards Daniel.
“My sister, Daniel. Niel, this is my friend Made. Say hello first.”
“Good day, sis.”
“Halo, your sister is so funny, Jeff. Her cheeks are like hamsters. Hahahahahhahaa.”
Daniel was pouting but still looking funny
“Are you waiting for someone?” ask him suddenly
Jeff just shook his head. “There are only two of us.”
“Thank God, I don't need to rush off.” He said as he opened his black mask, clearly drawn his handsome face.
“Where's your girlfriend?” ask Jeff
“Have come home just now, I said I have an appointment with a friend, so I told him to go home first.”
“Wow. Made. Really yes you are this.”
“Why?”
“You don't remember, who's excited about being able to take a photo with Naomi?”
“Naomi? When?” daniel's question cuts through Jeff and Made's conversation
“Yesterday, when we ate together across campus.” Jeff replied casually
“Yah, sister. Why am I not invited?” whining Daniel
“Shortly, briefly. Don't tell me you're a Naomi.” fan, too Ask Made
“Iya. Brother Made too?”
“Of course. I'm guessing almost all the guys at school are already fans of it.”
I read it until I realized that time was going very fast.
“Excuse me, are you art students from the foundation University?” ask a woman who comes to our table with her shy friend.
“Sorry?” ask me again because I didn't hear it too much.
“Ah, yes. Me and him art student. “ Made said while looking at me who looked cute.
“I Nuri.” He extended his hand
“I Made and this is Jeff, and he's Daniel.” Answer Made kindly
“We know, really. Kak Made and Kak Yohan are very famous among the students in our school. But this time we saw Jeff. You guys are so handsome.”
The two women earlier, Probably are high school students in other regions. After asking for a photo they both left rather excitedly.
“Gimana, yes. It's hard to have a handsome face like me. Wherever there must be someone who recognizes.” Say Made with confidence
Daniel who incidentally is a home child, felt amazed at Made. The two of them became close like friends who had known for a long time. Just like I felt when I first knew him yesterday.
“Woahhh, kak made great. Suitable to be a celebrity.”
“Iya, right. Aye, kan. I had guessed that I was actually a celebrity.”
Jeff just smiled at the behavior of the two people. He circulated his gaze and found a familiar figure passing in front of the cafe. Brown haired girl shoulder to shoulder, wearing a plain green t-shirt
oversize, white shorts and small orange-colored slingbags run alongside men in white shirts and long jeans.
“Naomi?” muttered Jeff
“Hmmm, who, who?” ask Made
“That's not Naomi?”
Made and Daniel brought their faces closer to the glass window and narrowed their eyes, figuring out whether it was Naomi who had just passed in front of them. Although in the crowd they could still find a girl figure
that even looks sweet from behind it.
“Damn, Vishnu move fast. Can't be left.” Daniel looks angry
“True, we also have to move. This can't be left.” The Timpal Made
They both get out of the cafe in a half-run hurry, overtaking Naomi and a man they call Vishnu. But I'm not sure they can catch up. The streets are crowded with pedestrians
this now.
Aren't they too obsessed with that girl?
Jeff continued the book reading event that had stopped. Read in silence in a corner of the room, occasionally sipping his coffee that has not been exhausted and while crossing his long legs. Visitors to the cafe that enters or will come out always look towards Jeff who sits alone while
read the book he had brought. The handsome but cold face did not stop the eyes of the women from seeing him. Who would miss the view of the painting?
“It turns out they just went shopping for ingredients for group tasks.” Daniel sat down and told Jeff
Daniel and Made return from chasing Naomi, chugging their iced coffee due to the heat outside.
“Why tell me?” ask Jeff wonder
“Who knows you are also curious.” Add Made
“Heiiiii, I'm not as pure as you. Oiya why isn't Yohan with you?” ask Jeff then
“She goes home to her parents every weekend.” Made stopped his words
“Why don't we go there, you guys are free, right?” add her excited
Jeff closed his book and looked at Daniel, “Where?”
“Come if I, sis.”
****
It only took less than two hours from the city to Yohan's home area by train. There have been many rice fields along the way that indicate their destination is almost there. As Made said,
yohan's home area is in a rural area with rice fields on her left and right. Not so far from the station, only walking for about ten minutes they arrived at Yohan's house. Biggest house in the area.
“Have arrived, friend.” Said Made while stretching his body. “Live to the back only.” His imbuh.
Made showed the way to Jeff and Daniel. Behind Yohan's house is very spacious, there is an old red roofed warehouse right in the direction of his house, following the path that is on
garden end. The right garden is planted with tomatoes, and I don't know what vegetables. The left side is left green because of the weeds, but still tidied up.
“Woiiiii, how did you get here?” yohan shouted happily.
“Daniel, introduce, that's my friend. Yohan.”
“Halo, sis.” Greetings Daniel
“This is your sister, Jeff?” yohan asked as she pinched Daniel's cheek, “Funny once he was, his cheek puffed.”
Daniel took his cheek out.
