Boyfriend Lies

BC 26 | Before Event

For : Ayang

Romantic Cafe reservation on behalf of Dara Dwiana at 19.00

Messages were sent four hours ago. Need to wait an hour until I receive a reply, Bagas. He promised to come on time while not forgetting to bring a gift that had been prepared to surprise me.

Satisfied dress up, sling bag that was lying on the bed was fortified out of the room. Mom already knows about dinner. Now the turn to ask permission Papi who happened to have gone home to work.

"Where are you going, son? Very neat," he said when he got me down the stairs.

"Dinner with boyfriend, dong," I reply with pride.

"There's money?"

Suddenly the question made my move in picking up the stifled shoes. My gaze then turned to Papi who was sitting on the guest sofa. Her expanding smile seemed to give me a good signal. Not wanting to miss a chance, I hurriedly approached him.

"Why did Papi ask that? Want to add more money to play Dara?" Look at me expectantly.

"How much, anyway?"

That speech really makes the heartbeat unbecoming. It's more stressful. Waiting for the nominal that goes down while the heart hopes to be anxious.

"If it's Dara, anyway, Papi's sedation." Deep down, I was expecting her relief. Quite simply, the classic word with a million inserts of prayer and persuasion. Hopefully, I can get a few red notes.

Papi was seen blabbing the contents of his wallet, the serious look of his eyes as if showing me that his mind was thinking hard.

"Because you don't ask for a gift this year, so don't want to be a gift Papi love the money. Huh!" Three hundred thousand pieces of money were stretched out before me.

Really according to expectations. My eyes immediately sparkled watching the generosity of a father who gave up a large nominal on his daughter's birthday.

"Three hundred thousand. Buy whatever you want."

***

The sudden sustenance of my original intention to stop by Riska's house. Yes, in order to cover the lack of budget fees, I intend to borrow Riska money. Just a hundred thousand, really. It's just that, since the hundred thousand money came by itself and nominally replaced three times larger, the plan to borrow money was scant.

The phone connection I made to connect with the person concerned was answered by him. "Riss?" call me on the edge of the street complex.

"Where, Ra? So come here? I have savings, really, if a hundred thousand."

"No, Ris. Not a pinjem." Quite grateful too. Of the many people, he was reliable even though we had a fight before.

"Lho, why? Don't you need to make a fare there?"

"There's a windfall from bokap." I screamed so happy today.

"Well, just in time, yeah. So, won't you pinch my money, will you?"

"No, no. Money that is loving is more than enough. Thanks, yeah."

Riska had prayed for the success of the event I made before finally disconnecting the call. The job of canceling the loan is done. Now it's my turn to book a vehicle because it's on the side of the road. The time available to drive is a lot, only I need to be on guard. Fear of getting stuck also because Monday is one of the productive days. There must be a lot that passes to the residential area in Lembang.

Not waiting for long, the online taxi order came. Riding the motor matic to get there I have to spend forty-five thousand rupiah. It's a pity, anyway. Too expensive for a student pocket like Dara, but that's okay. He can ride the moge. Pretty gratis.

The road that was predicted to be stuck seems to be right. Moleh in time. Fortunately, I've been working around this since the beginning. So, there is no need to be afraid of being late to the location.

I arrived at the Romantic Cafe after sitting on my motorcycle for an hour and a half. Once there, when passing through the parking lot I noticed all the neatly lined motorcycles first. As far as the eye can see, it is certain that the moge has not been stranded here. That is, Bagas has not come. I can arrange a place and choose the dinner menu first before meeting special guests.

"For how many?" ask the counter guard.

"Two people, Ma'am."

"Two people, yeah." He was typing something on a computer keyboard. "The total, so a hundred thousand."

I took out a note of money that the officer asked for. "But, Ma'am. The other ticket wants to be tipped here, can you? The guy hasn't come yet."

"Oh, yes," he answered while receiving a loan from me. "What's the name?"

"Bagcases. To Bagas."

Finished with the ticket business, I continued my step into the cafe. There are two doors provided once passing through the ticket purchase place. The right door will be connected with a magnificent building containing a spot of luxury photos. Since Bagas has not come, I who do not want to explore the location then choose the left door.

"Have you made a reservation, brother?" greet a greater while looking at the ticket that was given by his partner at the counter.

"Already, Brother. In the name of Dara Dwiana."

"Okay, one second, yeah." The greater looked at the screen provided on the doorstep of the restaurant. His hand skillfully typed my name in the search field.

"On behalf of Dara Dwiana, the reservation package dinner couple area swim pool. Already entered DP 50% huh, Brother?"

"Yes, right." I confirm the result of his search.

"Come, Brother. I'm taking it to the location."

I followed him, walking down a row of dining table sets arranged from inside the anti-smoking room. Need to walk a little deep and long until finally pulled over at the location of the order. Dining table set that already has two chairs in the area. We will definitely have dinner in the middle of a pond that has been decorated with bright candles and decorative balloons floating in the pool water. After the expedition, according to its name. Romantic Dinner at Romantic Cafe.

"Please wait, yes, brother. The waiter will come and bring the menu book."

"Oh, okay." I nodded in understanding and saw the departure of the greater who had ushered me just now.

No matter how long from the departure of the brother, a male servant came to my desk. His hands had already hugged the two menu booklets.

"Good night. Please see the menu first, brother."

"Thank you, brother," I said as I greeted the menu book.

I opened the book at lightning speed. Choose the right menu to accompany our dinner later. After thinking hard about the menu and the price, I finally found the right decision.

"Sister, I've chosen the menu." I gave him the information as well as instructions so that he would prepare to write the order.

"Good, Brother. Please."

"Avocado salad, Grilled Chicken Spicy, and Strawberry Smoothies. Two messages each, yes, brother." I dictated without a single letter error.

"okay, Sis. That all?"

"Yes, that's all." It's also four hundred thousand, brother. Yes, plus times. I smiled to dismiss the passing thoughts.

The waiter left, bringing back two menu books away from my desk. The rest just wait. Waiting for Kak Bagas to come, waiting for the food to be served. So far everything has gone perfectly and according to my wishes. Hopefully, hopefully ..there wasn't a bad thing today. Amens.
