Arinda, First Love

Streets

It was almost 9am when Sherina returned to the hotel. Arin already looks beautiful, with a sky blue floral dress. While he still looks messy with sweat that almost dries on his body.

Sherina asks Arin to wait for her to prepare for 30 minutes. Arin did not mind at all, he took advantage of his time to send CVs to several large companies in Jakarta.

His experience working before was good enough and he had never had any problems with the company before. Arin is optimistic that he will get a better job quickly.

He begins to plan what he will do for the next 3 days, and Arin decides to find a boarding house first. Because it is impossible to stay in the hotel.

Although he still has enough savings from the results of his previous work in the Bayu company but Arin does not want to squander his money just like that.

After almost 30 minutes of waiting, the waiting finally came. Sherina looks beautiful wearing an umbrella dress with short peach-colored sleeves. Both of them chose to wear a sneaker as their footwear.

"Are you ready?" asked Arin while putting his phone into the Sling bag he was wearing.

"Already dong, let's go." replied Sherina with 45 spirit while writhing Arinda's arm.

"Wait, wait. Where are we really going?" asked Arin who was curious about their purpose back then.

"Ah, come along. Don't ask too many questions." Sherina answered back to pull Arin's arm to follow her steps.

They both took an online taxi. Their first destination is to Ancol, Sherina invites Arin to go see SeaWorld. He reasoned that he had never been there in a lifetime and had wanted it for a long time but had not had time.

Although Arin objected a little at first, he finally agreed because he could not bear to see the sad face of Sherina who wanted to go there. After being satisfied around and taking pictures in it they went to a famous seafood restaurant there.

As usual, Sherina who had a great appetite ordered quite a lot of food for the two. And Arin could only resign because again he could not say no to him.

After finishing lunch they decided to get out of Ancol and go to the biggest Mall in Jakarta. Initially they went to a photography exhibition located on one of the floors of the mall.

After being satisfied to go around and see the exhibition they decided to go to the cinema and watch a romantic comedy genre film. It just so happens that both have the same taste in it. So they do not need to argue to determine the film to be chosen.

The show time was almost 7pm when they came out of the cinema. They decided to eat at a roadside angkringan that Arin subscribed to when he lived in Jakarta first.

Sherina does not mind and is very enthusiastic about what Arin recommends. Sherina does not know if Arin had lived and settled in Jakarta for a long time.

He only knows if Arin came to Jakarta for a vacation just like him. Arin did not tell much about himself, he just said the previous place to stay was on island X.

After almost 20 minutes of taking an online taxi, they finally arrived at their destination. Arin and Sherina immediately occupied an empty seat. Because it happens that the atmosphere of the night is quite crowded.

"Eh mbak Arin anywhere, it's been a long time no stop by" said one of the angkringan employees approached their table.

"Yes, mas. I have not been in Jakarta anymore because it just happened to come back so directly eat here. Very same cuisine masnya." replied Arin kindly.

"Oh pantes aja, mbak Herti same mas Andi is also rarely here now mah only there are a few times I see." he said again.

"Oh that. Yes, yes, I want the usual message. Continue the addition of rice uduknya 1, rice cat sambel cuminya 1, intestinal satay 2, satay egg quail 2, the same satay shell 2, bacem chicken 1, the same mendoan 1 serving ya."

"Yes, kangen food here because do not use it for long yes mas" said Arin chimed.

"Every mbak, in waiting for ya." replied the angkringan employee then immediately take Arin's order.

"Rin, how do they know you?" sherina asked a little whisper.

"I used to subscribe here Sher." replied Arin with a smile.

"I used to live in Jakarta, from college to work long enough" he said again made Sherina nod in understanding.

The angkringan stall has 5 dining tables, large enough for the size of a tent stall. Since college, Arin has been eating in angkringan.

After waiting almost 5 minutes all their orders were ready at the table. Both of Sherina's eyes seemed to sparkle staring at the food that was before her at this moment.

After finishing all the food they ordered, Arin and Sherina went back on foot for a few minutes to digest the food they had eaten.

The night sky of Jakarta was very bright. Unknowingly, Arin's steps stopped, because he stared at how beautiful the night sky was. In his mind were some memories with Satria.

His heart suddenly became sad because it remembered his first love again. There was a longing in Arin's gaze as he stared at the millions of stars that seemed to decorate the night.

Sherina was stunned by the sight. I don't know why he saw Arin as if he was missing someone. He wanted to ask but felt reluctant because after all they had just known each other.

Ddrrrt, Ddrrr.

Shaking the phone in his hand finally disperse all daydreams Arin. Seen the name of the brother-in-law listed there, Arin sure if Meisya must have known about his return to Jakarta.

He must prepare his heart and ears to listen to the anger of his best friend and brother-in-law.

"Just Sher." said Arin slightly pulled over because she did not want the sound of Meisya's nagging to be heard clearly by Sherina.

"Hello, sister-in-law." greet Arin as cheerfully as possible.

"What do I mean by the same secrets?" ask Meisya with her brush.

"Gue is not playing secrets really, just want to make a surprise. Though I want to go to Bogor later, eh how do you already know first anyway?" replied Arin origin while chuckling.

"Lied !!"

"Sebeeeeeel I'm the same you." cried Meisya while turning off his phone connection unilaterally make Arin slightly keep the phone away from his ear.

"Well, make a snack" said Arin while staring at the screen phone that has darkened.
