Between you and me
Close-up
Days change week, weeks change month. It hasn't been a month since Dennis and Dera's introduction. They are getting closer to each other. But Dennis had not dared to express his feelings. It was because of the words of Dera who said he did not want to date before he finished college.
And next week is Dera graduation day. Finally the long-awaited day Dera and her father came too. Today Dera plans to buy the goods for his graduation. And Dennis promised to take her shopping.
In the afternoon Dera had stopped in front of the housing gate waiting for Dennis to arrive. Not long after Dennis' car approached. Soon Dera gets into Dennis' car.
"Where are we going?" dennis asked as soon as Dera got to the car.
"To the Self-Serve Market only" replied Dera.
"On the Department Store my family's only."
"No. Fear expensive. Hehe"
"Yes, that's it."
The car also drove to the supermarket. Dera chose the necessities for his graduation. Starting from clothes, shoes, to socks. After he finished choosing, Dera immediately headed to the cashier to pay. Dennis immediately approached Dera and said
"Let me pay." Said.
"No need. It's my historic day, I don't want to bother you." Reject Dera politely. And soon he took out some money from his purse that looked like it had started to fade in color.
After that they exited the supermarket and headed for the parking area.
"Relope. Eat what?" Ask Dera.
"Eat at the 'You and Me' Restaurant only". Dennis said, Dera seemed hesitant.
"I am the deal. I promised to buy you a meal" Dera nodded.
They arrived at a family restaurant and sat down in empty chairs and ordered food. Soon the food and drink they ordered came. While eating they chatted
"Aren't you coming home a little late?" Ask Dennis.
"No papa. The important thing is not to go past 8 o'clock. It's not good girls come out malem-alem." Dera answered while eating her food. Accidentally, Dera's hand nudged the drink and made the drink spill on the table and hit his cellphone.
"Jeez my HP" said Dera immediately picked up his cellphone and wiped it using a tissue. Dera tried to turn it on but her phone wouldn't turn on. "Geez, I don't want to burn. Pliis don't break donk" Dera looked very anxious.
"Yes, we took it to the service place. Or if you don't use my phone, let your phone this one for me. We're tukerans. How's it?" Fresh Dennis. Dennis thought maybe if the new HP offer Dera would refuse, so he offered to exchange HP.
"No. That's the HP I bought from my own sweat. I do the work of my friends and they pay me, and I collect it little by little, so as much as I can I'll fix it because it's a very valuable item for me" Said Dera with an anxious face mixed with sadness.
For a moment Dennis was silent and stunned. HP that for him could easily ask his parents, became an item that was so difficult to obtain by Dera. Dennis can understand Dera's heartbreak.
"Yaa. We take it to the service place only before the water seeps wider. I have an acquaintance who works at HP service. We're going there yuk" Take Dennis. Dera immediately stood up from his seat and went to follow Dennis.
