Black Heaven

The nightmare?

"Alhamdulillah yes sir, our cafe is increasingly increasing turnover," said Farhan after reading the results of the report made every one week.

"Yes sir, if you look at the report, every day many visitors who come." Aji reviewed a thin smile while staring at the laptop screen that displayed the sales graph.

After finishing reading the cafe's financial statements, Farhan and Aji began discussing about the food menu that will be added to the menu list. From this long conversation, the two finally agreed to add mini pizza to their menu list.

"Oh yes sir, how about next month we create a new program, a sharing program that." Farhan conveyed the idea that had crossed his head a few days ago.

"Share?" Aji became interested in this discussion, "Indeed we want to share how, sir?" ask Aji because he does not know where Farhan will bring the conversation.

"How about every Friday we share a free drink, sir? every Friday is free to drink boba or fruit juice?" farhan Proposal.

"May also sir, we will think again how good it is so that this sharing program can run smoothly." Aji closed the laptop and then looked at Farhan who was explaining his new program.

The two young men finally discussed other issues, no longer about work but about life. In this special room on the second floor, they spend Sunday evenings sharing about religion, life goals and many more interesting topics they discuss.

"I've seen lately, it looks like Mr. Aji is in love, huh, sir?" farhan asked with two black beads that could not be separated from the handsome face of his partner.

"Pak Farhan could have," elak Aji turned his eyes away from Farhan.

"I wonder which girl can conquer the heart of Kyai Yusuf's son," continued Farhan when he saw the change in the face of Aji.

Farhan continues to tease Aji as he is very curious how the love story of a Kyai child. Farhan looked at Aji with a look of astonishment, as Aji began to tell him who the girl he always called in his prayers was.

"Then, where is the girl now?" ask Farhan.

"He lives in Ciputat as well, Mr. Farhan. I never thought God would bring me to this city again" Aji said, staring at Farhan.

"Maybe this is what is called a mate, sir," Farhan nodded his head while looking at Aji who was leaning on his chair.

"Hopefully sir, that was my hope all along" Aji said with a sweet smile.

"How about we double date sometime, sir? Hang out with each other's partners." Suddenly a brilliant idea appeared in Farhan's head.

"May, but for the time I will tell you later, sir," said Aji, he did not know if Intan would be willing to meet with Farhan.

The conversation continued until the clock stopped at ten in the evening. They immediately get out of the room because soon the cafe will be closed. They both went down to the first floor to help close the cafe.

"Intan where ya, kok from earlier did not reply to my message," murmured Aji after seeing his phone.

Aji keeps her phone back in her pants pocket. He finally helped the cashier to check the transaction today.

...🌹🌹🌹...

The time indicator is at the number two in the morning. The silence of nature began to be felt, the sound of night animals was still heard around Intan's contract. The girl was still awake, drowsiness seemed to disappear from her round eyes.

"How come you haven't slept, Tan?" ask Kinar when he woke up from his deep sleep because he was attacked by the feeling of wanting to urinate.

"Gue's not sleepy!" intan replied after smoking his cigarette.

What Niko did in the studio managed to upset her until now. His mood was suddenly destroyed because of the hands of jail Niko who did not know manners.

"C-u-k!" cuss Intan after spending a cigarette that has been with him since.

"You should've said it to Bang Tommy, let it be a man!" kinar after returning from the bathroom. He threw his body on the bed while staring at Intan who was leaning on Almari. Kinar already knew what was really going on in the studio, but Kinar had to shut up because Intan had warned him, so as not to tell Tommy all of this.

"Gue has been lazy if there is a commotion, I was blamed nyokap lo again," said Intan while pouring wine into a small glass.

"As you are! I'll sleep first!" Kinar pulled the blanket again and let Intan wake up alone.

Intan sipped a glass of wine that he had just poured for the second time. He vented his frustration by letting his body float because of the influence of Tommy's wine. However, just as he was pouring wine for the third time, his phone suddenly rang.

"for what Gus Aji called me at hours like this" Intan muttered after seeing Aji's name on her phone screen.

Intan immediately picked up the phone after ringing for the second time, "Assalamualaikum, Gus," Intan said after sliding the green icon on his phone screen.

"Waalaikumsalam, Tan .. Where are you now?" asked Aji with a breath of breath.

"I'm in the room, Gus. What was? it seemed like Gus was panicking once," Intan asked after hearing Aji's different voice.

Aji was silent for a moment. It seemed like he was adjusting his breathing first before speaking to Intan. I don't know what's really going on with Aji right now.

"I just had a nightmare, Tan. The dream is real" said Aji, this time his breathing is regular.

"Dreams are just sleeping flowers, Gus." Intan tries to comfort Aji from thinking about her nightmare again.

"No, Tan!" sergeant Aji, finally Aji decided to tell Intan his dream.

In the dream, Aji and Intan are walking down an already fragile bamboo bridge. Somehow at first, suddenly Intan's leg was badly injured. Intan was crying because he saw the blood that kept pouring from his feet. Instead of helping Intan who was in pain, in the dream, Aji even ran away from Intan. He continued to run on that endless bridge. After tired of running, suddenly Aji heard Intan screaming. Aji ran back because he saw Intan going to fall into the big river under the bridge. Effortlessly Aji pulled Intan's hand so that the girl of his tribe did not drown in a very murky river, but in the end Aji also fell into the river. They were both drifting along the fast-flowing river.

"Tan, I hope you're okay right now, you're not hurt, are you?" aji asked after she finished telling her all her dreams.

Intan was stunned to get that question from Aji. He just kept quiet while thinking about the events in Aji's dream. Intan becomes scared because the dream is like a symbol of how it relates to Aji after this.

"Gus, a dream is just a sleeping flower. We better not think too much about the dreams that come when we sleep. We're positive just thinking Yuk!" Really, what Intan said today is very different from his heart. He is actually agitated and sad.

"I won't let you get hurt or fall, Tan. I keep fighting for you no matter what happens," said Aji who was there shortly before ending his call.
