ALVIN Trying to Rise

Meet

...Happy Reading's...

.....................

Alvin entered into a cafe that was a hit among teenagers and young people, the cafe was not too long open, until the prices still get a big discount.

The atmosphere is made unique and many places to take pictures, making the cafe is always crowded with visitors, whether it is just hanging out with his friends, or indeed to eat.

Alvin circulated his views, looking for the whereabouts of Jani who he said had arrived first. Until finally he could see the whereabouts of Jani on one of the benches near the glass.

"Assynrass, Jani. I'm sorry I'm late" Alvin said, as soon as he got to the table where Jani was.

"Waalaikumsalam, it's okay, I haven't been long, either" replied Jani, with a bright smile.

Jani's eyes seemed sparkling, looking at Alvin who was now in front of him.

"May I sit down" said Alvin, in a slightly awkward voice.

"May dong, please sit down," replied Jani as she stretched out one of her hands to allow Alvin to sit in front of her.

"Oh yes, this is your papah's shirt. Please thank me for your Papah." Alvin handed me a paper bag containing clothes that he had previously laundered.

"Ah yes, I will tell you the same Papah." Jani smiled awkwardly, received a paper bag from Alvin and placed it on the side chair.

"Udah message?" alvin asked, just a small talk, seeing that the table was still empty.

Jani shook his head to make Alvin directly call the waiter to order food. After the order was settled, now the two seemed to sit awkwardly.

This is Alvin's first time seeing a woman and only the two, all this time he's never done that with anyone.

Alvin was confused to start a conversation, he only realized that all this time it was Jani who always talked a lot, until now when Jani did not talk much they seemed to be strangers.

Jani who was nervous because he could meet both on campus, without having him forced as usual. He did not expect that Alvin would meet him outside the campus, even though the reason was only to return his father's clothes.

"I heard you went to college while working?" jani asked, finally the woman who started the conversation first, although it sounded crisp and pleasantry.

Plis, don't just say yes doang, I'm confused this is looking for another language again. Why my brain so can not be used gini anyway, right meet Alvin? inward Jani, begging Alvin who is famous for being talkative and cold.

"Yes" replied Alvin, who immediately broke Jani's expectations.

"Oh, where is it?" ask Jani.

Ah, why be like another gini interview anyway? Ish, come on Jani, think! Find a more exciting and relaxed discussion, inner Jani, grumbling himself.

"In the construction of the xx building," replied Alvin.

Jani mangosteen, he was not surprised at all, because he already knew all that.

"Well, that's great. So are you there?" asked Jani with a face of sumringah, as if this discussion was very interesting for him.

"I'm just being a coolie" replied Alvin without shame.

"Huh, coolie?" asked Jani was really surprised, he did not know what Alvin's job in building the building.

Alvin seemed to smile thinly, he already knew what reaction his college friends would show when he knew that his job was a building porters.

"Why, shocked?" ask Alvin.

"Eh .. yes, hehehe." jani grimaced, as Alvin could guess his expression.

"What, it's normal. If you're ashamed, I can leave now" Alvin said.

He is self-aware enough, he and Jani are caste-different from far-off castes, making him even inappropriate for friends.

"Eeh, that's not it, I don't want to. Indeed what if your job, porters building? The important thing is that the money you make is halal" replied Jani so straightforwardly, plus a smile that never faded from his face.

Alvin smiled again. He did not think that Jani could accept it even though he knew his job.

"Because that's the only job I can easily get with just a high school diploma," replied Alvin.

"Job problems, leave it like this first, I am still looking for experience. I was young, so I wanted to use it to find knowledge and experience, and to make money to eat" Alvin lai said.

"Well, you're great, your mind is also more mature than your age" said Jani, staring in admiration at the man before her.

"I'm not great, Jan, I'm like this just because I'm forced by circumstances" Alvin replied.

Jani breathed a rough breath, he was sure there was a story behind Alvin's hard work that was covered so tightly by the man.

"Yes, that's your decision. But, if someday you need help just call me," said Jani with a look of hope.

Alvin nodded. "Yes, if I need help, I'll call you later."

The melted chat had to be quiet now that the food they ordered had come, making those who were chatting suddenly stop.

"Thank you, Mba," Alvin and Jani said.

The two had lunch especially daulu, while sometimes talking casually about college materials, or just Jani who told her life.

"After college, what do you want to do?" alvin asked after they finished eating.

"You want to get married" replied Jani, chuckling.

Alvin smiled, he looked at the beautiful face before him. "Haw? Is there a candidate?" ask Alvin.

"There's dong, this is the one in front of me one of the candidates." Jani chuckled, pointing at Alvin.

Alvin widens his eyes, he comes here to straighten their relationship and invites Jani to befriend. Why are they both talking about marriage now.

"I don't deserve it, Jan, I'm just a building porter" replied Alvin, trying to subtly resist.

"What's wrong, I want to be the wife of a construction worker, that's you," said Jani confidently.

Alvin chuckles, where can Jani enter into his life, when the strands of clothes that Jani is wearing right now, the price is equal to three months of salary. Especially with various other middle-to-lower person dramas.

"You're too naive, Jan. Hidup we are like heaven and earth, they will never be together except when the apocalypse arrives, and that will only destroy both" Alvin denied.

"What are you doing, Vin?" sukul Jani, began to dislike the language used by Alvin.

Alvin exhaled slowly, he then looked at Jani's pouting face seriously.

"Jani, actually I came here with other intentions than to return your Papah shirt," said slowly Alvin, which made Jani curious.

"Then, what else?" ask Jani.

"I want to clarify the relationship between us" replied Alvin again.

Jani was increasingly curious, his heart was beating unbecoming, he needed something to calm his heart.

"What?" jani asked, approaching she will know.

"You know how I survived. I'm not the perfect guy you deserve to like, even baby. We're not very different, and it's impossible to be together."

"In addition, I also have no thoughts of being in a relationship with anyone, now I just want to achieve my goals, so that my mother can be happy, and all my family is proud.'

"I'm glad you give attention, which man doesn't like it, when it gets that kind of attention. I'm also afraid that later you will continue to hope for me, while I can't promise anything."

"So, how about we just be friends for now?" ask Alvin, from so many long words.

Yes, maybe this is the longest word so far, after the accident that killed his father and sister.
