Max POV's.
I woke up and glanced at the clock on my phone and found the time was six in the morning London time. I sighed then got up from sleep, sitting with the help of my elbows propping up on each knee. Then put the gaze around.
“Sial! Maybe later tonight I have to sleep in a hotel alone then speed up my business in this city and go home soon,” I grumbled alone so I recalled my attitude last night that made Lisa seem annoyed at me.
Once again I blinked my eyes and stood up, stepped into the bathroom and performed the usual morning ritual. Then put on my shirt to go back to the papah office and meet with his current boss, according to instructions from om Reza.
Afterwards I headed to the kitchen, looked for coffee grounds and made them manually. Lisa doesn't have a coffee machine in her kitchen. Because as far as I know, he's not as crazy as my brother for coffee-smelling business. He's just plain ordinary.
After stirring the cup of coffee, I placed it on the kitchen table, then headed back to the television room, intending to open the curtains. So that the timid sunlight can enter to warm the room. I turned off the air conditioning machine last night, but still the cold crept in, enveloping the air in this room.
However, my two eyeballs caught something else that looked strange to me. Yeah, what my eyes see doesn't seem like a good thing. I saw Lisa opening a car door down there. Take out some things that he then hugged and he held so tightly, one of them a bouquet of roses. Then stepped down along the road leading to this building after it looked like he was talking to someone from inside the car.
The position of the car was turned back and if from where I stand at this time only visible the top of the hood of the car, so I can not see, who was in the car. Whether man or woman, I don't know.
Did he not come home last night?
A few questions came to my mind. Then I rushed over, trying to open the bedroom door to check, who knows what my eyes saw was just a mistake because this brain was thinking about it. But it turns out to be true, Tika is still asleep alone behind her blanket. There was no Lisa beside him.
I immediately took my cup of coffee and sat back down on the sofa in the television room, where I slept last night. Acted like he didn't know if he didn't come back here last night. Shortly after, Lisa came and went straight into her room.
Not one bit did he turn to look at me or even greet me like he used to when he was living in my house. It seems like he's really angry.
Again I remembered the look on his smiling face as soon as he got out of the car below, so happy, like.
My mind was busy guessing from wherever Lisa was last night, until she didn't come home. What is he doing out there in this country? Does she have a lover? Or was he staying at his friend's house last night? Did my words last night hurt her heart so much?
All those questions just keep getting organized, spinning and repeating in my brain. Like I was worrying too much. And it looks like I need to get away quickly, so that my brain goes back to normal and just think about my business here. Not thinking about Lisa's personal life.
I slowly put the cup in my hand onto the table in front of me. Then I took my temples, it felt so dizzy to think about Lisa.

Tika POVs.
“Tik ... Tika ... wake up!”
Lisa's voice sounded so clear, while shaking my body. I blinked, trying to let go of my dream and return to real life. Raise my body to sit up immediately and normalize the function of these eyes. I rubbed it slowly.
However, how surprised I was when I saw a bouquet of fresh roses on the bed, right at my feet. “Wow! Who sent you a fresh rose this early in the morning?! Your girlfriend huh?” seruku while glancing at Lisa who was busy applying makeup.
In the past, when in Indonesia, Lisa rarely makeup herself even I barely ever see her make up. I just always found her wearing lip balm and a little powder.
“Where did you know that it was for the cave?” Lisa looked at me through the mirror reflection on her dresser.
“Yeah, cave time anyway! Your girlfriend is so nice, romantic! Early in the morning have sent that beginning.” I inhaled the smell of the roses.
“Pocket shower there. So follow the cave to campus?” knock Lisa again.
“So dong!” I stood up and immediately headed for the bathroom.
It didn't take long for me to clean up. Then open my suitcase and pick up the clothes I'm going to wear. Then sit next to Lisa to come make up.
“That's what?” My hand nudged his arm, asking about a white box that was at the end of this dresser.
Then Lisa said that the white box contained a birthday cake, which was also from her lover. Lisa also said that she met her boyfriend last night.
“Oh, so it was a shame when you said you wanted to give me the cave brother a blanket, just alesan lu doang, huh? Let you get out of the cave, so?”
Tok tok!
Suddenly the door of the room was knocked. Who else is knocking if not Max.
I stood up and opened the door. “Why?”
“I leave first, where are you going?” Max's face looks surprised when I see me dressed neatly and with neat clothes too. He scrunched his eyebrows.
“I want to go with Lisa to her campus. Time alone here?” my reason.
“Oh yes, you do not forget breakfast. I made a sandwich! Oh yes, if my business runs out this afternoon, we go home tonight.”
I was surprised to hear Max. “Go home? Very spooky. Don't want ah, two more days cake?!” whine while taking her hand.
Max took a breath. “Can't. We can not long, kasian mamah alone at home.”
I sulked, showed my annoyed face to her and immediately released my hand that had been wrapped around her arm. Max really doesn't know how to have fun. “I go first, bye!”
My eyes were still staring at his back in annoyance, which was getting further away and disappearing behind the door. My feeling was chaotic erratically, just now I felt the fresh air of the word 'vacation', Max had already broken it again.
“Already, it's okay. Today the cave only has one class, we can walk. Yuk!” comfort Lisa to me while embracing me and we also decided to leave immediately, after Lisa put her birthday cake in the refrigerator. And I took the sandwich Max had prepared, gave another piece to Lisa. We ate it while heading out to the basement.
(Eating while walking is not good, so do not imitate. It's just for script needs, lol.)
**
Sure enough, after one class ended, Lisa immediately invited me to leave the campus. He took me back around central London, and he showed me back to London Bridge and Buckingham Palace at noon today, under the clear sky.
Lisa's been trying so hard to help me get my mood back. He was a friend who understood me. Yeah, since I got along with him, I seemed to close the other friendship. I restricted my contact with other friends at school and at my current campus. Because I don't think there's a friend like Lisa.
Since then, I rarely have any other close friends, just that. I also feel that my relationship is much different from other women. Anyway, no one will ever be able to match Lisa, she's the best for me.
“Do you wanna eat?” lisa asked while we were on our way and I was busy looking at the scenery on the side of the road.
“Yup! Where do we eat?” I was enthusiastic while sitting facing him.
“You want to eat in the market? Not a cake market in Indo. This looks like a bazaar, many people sell.”
“Bby! Murce, right?”
“Murce?”
I nodded my head and smiled. “Iya, cheap check.”
“Jeez, Tikaaaa!” lisa protested as soon as she heard the tone of my voice that I deliberately said slurred. Then we laughed together.
