Ting ....
A notification from the literacy chat group reads, showing the name of someone who has made the woman with the face smile. With a lightning-fast motion he shifted the key button.
...Rey:...
...I'm busy chasing 60k....
...SAY:...
...Same bang, I'm even less 10k again:(...
...Queen:...
...Delicious I dong, it's done:)...
Such is the content of the chat from the authors of the online platform.
Annaya started to move her thumb on the screen of her phone, wanting to type something. However, back again he removed and a message from the Author whom he had long admired, Rey.
...Rey:...
...@Chery what to do...
...🤔🤔🤔...
Annaya's heart instantly soars when Rey accidentally marks her on a message. The sweet smile on her tiny lips was already etched so beautifully, and just threw her phone on the bed.
"Come, bang. You don't do that, I'm a baper" Annaya murmured, kissing the novel book with a blue cover titled 'Star in Space' by Rey.
Annaya Prameswari, a beautiful girl who has just set the age of seventeen, has started to pursue the world of literacy when she accidentally downloaded the blue online novel application.
Yeah, when he scrolls down his phone screen. Annaya is interested in a book called 'Bismillah' by Rey.
Every writing of the contents of the book greatly affected Annaya's life, she was even unable to sleep every time the writing she read danced in her brain.
Curiosity has peaked, Annaya began to learn to write novels and join literacy groups through social media. Until finally, she also followed whatsapp chat group.
Now Annaya is here. All his curiosity paid off already, as the writer he admired also joined the same group, even saving his contacts by the name of Chery.
Time keeps rolling and the day turns, Annaya increasingly becomes-so will feel towards Rey.
He began to vent to comment on every passing Rey story on his porch. Even if only responded with emojis or stickers. Pathetic indeed.
Until word gets out, there will be filming in Annaya's neighborhood of one of the production houses, which Rey is also involved in as a scriptwriter.
God was so kind to her, giving way for Annaya to meet her favorite author who had always dreamed of.
"Mom. Annaya wants to go to the set." said Annaya to her mother who was cooking.
He rushes on his favorite motorcycle and towards the place in question. Along the way, Annaya keeps thinking about what she'd be like if she could see Rey in person.
Is it instantly acquainted or just silent sculpting, looking at him from afar?
The filming location was seen crowded by residents who gathered to see their favorite artist, Annaya also could not have to crammed like this, because she had asthma.
Spreading her gaze all over the place, she looked at the cafe not far from the set. Thankfully, Annaya can wait there.
His choice fell on Black Coffe, he really liked the drink. Although bitter still remains sweet taste, as the attitude of the author was indifferent.
Suddenly an idea came to Annaya's mind, she took her phone and immortalized the cup of coffee. Not to forget also he sent to Rey, who knows the author will come.
However, his hopes become pseudo when the checkmarks never turn blue. The writer was so busy that he could not read the message.
Annaya chose to take a peek at the group she hadn't opened, and the message had already reached thousands.
Instantly his heart feels sliced, as Rey looks active in the group and ignores his message.
After all who Annaya lives Rey, they only get acquainted through chatting even using a pen name.
While on Rey's side, the man didn't know anything about messages from a contact named Chery. He just doesn't want to deal with things that he thinks are unimportant and outside of the chatter about literacy.
"Rey, seriously," Adam scolds one of the camera's TV crew.
"Yes, Bang. Group chat is again crowded this,"
"Success is ... young talented too." praise Adam.
Rey only showed her teeth in return for Adam's praise.
Almost five hours had Rey struggling with her work and she was able to get it done as well. For quite a while he had not seen the notification on his phone, and it was true that thousands of chats had already filled his message.
Men Scroll down, Rey just realized about Chery who sent her a picture.
...Black Coffee?...
A caption was written in the photo that Chery sent to Rey.
The intention of this person to invite him to drink with a cup of coffee?
What an amazing coincidence. Rey also loves coffee.
Especially when the aroma of coffee penetrates into his sense of smell, it really calms the nerves of the brain that are already tense due to being too squeezed because of the many words he has to write.
Right too, it's better that he spends his time at the cafe near here, while pursuing a word he hasn't finished yet.
Poor Annaya, she was still waiting for Rey to reply to the message sent, but there would be no sign of the author replying even if the tick had turned blue.
Annaya decided to leave the cafe, she had been waiting for Rey for a long time and she was very tired.
As if fate was playing games with Annaya and Rey, they looked at each other as the writer stepped into the cafe. Likewise when this girl walked out, only a few seconds but no one knew each other and just passed by.
Rey chose to sit on the bench that Annaya had occupied, even still leaving a coffee cup that was still in place.
The more attention to the position of the glass is very fitting with the photo that Chery sent to him, and he once remembered there were a few scratches on the table.
Circulating the view in all directions, but there's no one here.
"This is the order, Mas." The waiter's voice resuscitates Rey from looking for a figure she doesn't know.
Again, an incoming message displays Chery's name. He sent a short message.
...Chery:...
...Maybe next time :)...
Rey puts her phone back in her bag, choosing to drown herself with every letter that would be strung together into a diction for the novel.
A new work that will be titled Sense of Literacy.
