Because Apples
Ice Cane
Early in the morning, Nadine was already in Adam's apartment. Right in front of that wooden door. Standing up ten minutes ago.
His feet were long standing. And his hands were tired of knocking on that door.
“ Chk, so long!! “
Countless times how many times her hands swung beautifully. Perhaps if it could, the wooden door would definitely scream in annoyance.
His watch was still showing at 6 a.m. So he was a little understood if it turns out Adam is still sleeping. But it's been 30 minutes since he came. And there was no sign the door would open.
“ Where are you going, Dam!! “ grunty.
He also took the initiative to contact the younger class. But in fact until now there is no reply from across there.
Yesterday was the last day of Adam's suspension. And of course he'll be back today.
Just now Nadine is knocking again. But he paused because of a voice that erupted.
“ Excuse me! “
Nadine. A sweet woman was veiled in front of him. He estimated this woman was the same age as Dita. Or a little older.
“ Yes, what is it, Brother? “
“ You looking for Adam? “ the woman asked back.
Nadine nodded, “ Yes, Brother ready Adam? “
“ First acquaintance, I'm Fitri. Neighbor plus his brother Adam. “
The girl in uniform welcomed Fitri as she called out her name. His mind was full of question marks about Fitri's statement.
“ Sister? Didn't Adam have no brothers? “ ask Nadine memicing.
Fitri chuckles. He had expected that Nadine's reaction would be like this.
“ Emang anyway. Cuman, long time ago Adam's brother considered to be his own sister. “
Nadine nodded in understanding. Then think back to his purpose here.
“ Brother, Adam's in no way? No one was nyahutin! “
“ Lah, he is not here anymore, “ replied Fitri relaxed.
The young girl's forehead wrinkled, “ Where to? “
“ While the road goes down yuk! Sister wants to shop in front, “
Nadine nodded obediently. Follows Fitri who walks in front of him.
“ Adam left for work this morning, “
“ Loh, isn't Adam's work hours out of school? “
Fitri nodded, “ I met at the mosque, said Adam his boss told him to come in the morning. But I don't know what the reason is. “
“ Which one is where? At the cafe or at the coffee shop? “
“ Yes in cafe, dong! Where is there a coffee shop open early in the morning gini, “
Nadine laughs lightly, “ Yes too, “
“ You're Adam's schoolmate? “ Fitri asked.
“ Yes, her upperclassman. “
Then both are silent.
“ Brother? “
Fitri turned, “ Yes? “
“ How long have you known Adam? “ ask Nadine.
“ Was a long time ago. From him SMP already living with Brother, “
“ Same parents Sister also means, undar misunderstand. “ continued Fitri knowing the surprised look of the girl next to him.
Nadine chuckles again, “ Means to know her friends Adam? “
“ Which one? Adam's friend is a lot, “
“ That's loh, Ipung and friends! “
“ If it is clearly familiar. Just three years ago, my brother knew them. “
Fitri opened the front door of the apartment building. They're already downstairs. Down with a ladder connecting each floor.
“ Up what was it? “
“ Carry. Brother, I go first! “ says Nadine.
“ Yes. Going to Adam's place? “ Nadine nodded.
“ Yes, be careful! “
Nadine smiles, “ Thanks! “
Then get in his car. Ride leisurely to Adam's workplace.
It wasn't until five minutes that he got there. In a place that even still hangs the word CLOSET on the door.
Nadine went straight in.
“ Right, Ma'am? Can I go home? “
The voice greeted him inside.
“ Heh, just go home!! You are not working intention anyway?! “
Nadine looked at the two people in front of her. In the pantry of that place. Adam and an older woman.
“ Yes intention. If not, I will not come here. “ replied Adam relaxed.
“ You if you say answer yes!! I don't like employees like that!! “ sentak si women.
What Nadine suspects is the cafe manager.
“ Loh, now it is not my working hours, Ma'am. I'm in noon, “
“ This is your punishment yes!! Yesterday, mostly talking! “
Adam grunts, “ Today I have entered school, Ma'am. “
“ Yesterday I also gave Bu Yuni permission! “ continued.
“ Which is your salary is me, not Mama! “
Nadine could see clearly that the woman was deliberately close to Adam. Seeking attention from the handsome young man.
He doesn't like. Didn't like the woman's clashing and coercion on Adam.
“ Adam!! “
Two people look.
“ Brother Nadine? “
Nadine approaching, “ Why here? “
“ You have entered school today, why are you still working?? “
“ Yes, I'm in school! But this is over, brother. Just leaving. “
“ Can't!! Depart now with me! “ Nadine pulls Adam.
But prevented someone.
“ Who are you?? “ asked the woman with a tone of dislike.
“ I'm Adam's brother. “
“ Come, Dam! Buruan leave! You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?!! “ continued Nadine.
“ Uh, can't do it dong! Adam still has my cooperation! “ hold that manager.
Nadine looked at him sternly, “ Not again! Adam has stopped working here! “
Then pulled the young man's big arm back. No matter the surprised look from Adam or the beautiful manager earlier.
“ Brother Nadine nothing at all!! “
Jerking rough hands. Annoyed half to death. Lost is the source of the money.
“ That's my job, brother! How do you keep that?! “ said Adam riled.
Nadine just looked. Then refocus driving.
“ Just work at the cafe that Papa bargained for you! His salary is bigger, “
Adam grunting. Wearing his uniform without taking off the shirt he was wearing.

“ So now you have more time for night? “
Adam nodded. Sipping sugar cane ice plasimkan in the middle of the night air. Beside her, Dita also held a snack of snacks and sugar cane ice.
This Sunday night is really simple. Just met in the park. Then continue with soto, finished. Now just spend the night.
“ What's his salary? “
“ Same time! But his working hours are better. Change the afternoon, it's. “
Dita nodded in understanding. Enforcing the body because it is too named sitting on a garden chair.
I don't know why she feels this date is special.
A date?
Dita smiled amusedly while being aware of that thought. Looking next to him, where Adam with his black hoodie sat back down casually. Really cool.
“ Still smoking? “
Adam looked. Then he nodded and set fire. Next to his hand covered the cigarette so that the fire does not die from the wind.
“ Where are you going? “
The young man looked at. Suck that nicotine stick again.
“ Lecture? “
“ Clear, not. “ replied Adam with great confidence.
“ Still for that reason? “
Adam exhaled. Along with the cigarette smoke coming out.
“ What else would you expect in this situation? You can eat every day thankfully. “
“ Do not know how else if added for college. “ continued Adam tired.
“ Try to love other reasons besides financial problems. “ pinta Dita.
“ What is it? The most lazy. “ Adam relax.
Dita grunting.
“ If you? College majoring in gourmet, right? “ Adam asked back.
“ Yes. “ Dita nodded with a straw on her lips.
“ Why do you even speak English? That's so weird, “
Dita chuckles. So sweet.
“ So scary times yes, “ he said narcissistic.
Adam nodded at that answer. Even if he knew that Dita was just joking.
“ Anin? “
Two heads looked up.
The look on the girl's face changed immediately.
A man of his age just sitting next to him, “ His intentions are just a walk. His knowledge even met you. “
“ Don't be so familiar! “
Adam chose silence. Apart from not knowing and having no business with the man, he also did not want to disturb the privacy of others. In this case, Dita.
But over time he started to get annoyed with it. Moreover, the foreign man looks familiar when talking with Dita, even though only a small response from Dita. Then leaving was the best option he thought.
“ Adam! “
He didn't look. Keep moving away from those two people.
Dita tried to catch up with him. But his arm was held by the man.
“ Lepasin!! “ he jerks forcefully.
“ Dam! Where are you going? “
Adam indifferent.
“ Adam!! “ this time Dita forcibly pulled her hand.
“ Why the hell?!! “
“ Where to go? “
“ Home. “ says Adam. Back walk.
“ It's still eight o'clock. He said he wanted to bring me! “
Adam just glanced, “ That was already there. “
The cold voice of the young man made Dita frown in wonder. He doubted if Adam sounded like he was holding back.
Five seconds later, his smile came out.
“ Are you jealous?? “
Adam's footsteps stopped. Staring at Dita with a view difficult to interpret. Back away without a sound. Only the cane ice became friends spending the night.
