Clandestine
A New Friend
I squeeze
the remote button of my car and immediately walked into a cafe
not too far from my office. Reza took me to lunch today
together you want to introduce a new cafe owned by his nephew.
I am the one who is
it's not very busy, and there are no plans to eat
afternoon with Reinard—because he's been busy at the hospital since last night's phone call,
finally accepted Reza's request to come let alone this about opening
a place to eat and of course I can enjoy all the food with the word
‘free’.
“Waaaaak....!” voices
Reza was so familiar when my feet just stepped in. The man who is now
wearing the brown shirt waved towards me with a fluffy smile.
I retaliated
the wave, then speed up the steps following him.
“Crazy, stuck
so tau!” I put my bag and car keys on the table.
I followed up by opening the blazer I was wearing and now only leaving one
soft blue color shirt.
“Pillage, old.”
Reza played the tomato juice in front of him with a straw.
I'm attractive
the chair opposite the man then sat there. Shortly after, I circulated
my gaze around. The atmosphere is quite crowded, even the chairs are almost
full-fledged. A great start for a cafe that has just opened. At the door
in front of that, I saw some flower arrangements that contained safe writing
upon opening this cafe.
“How to, you like
is it the same concept of cafe?” ask Reza later.
I'm raising
shoulders. The third time I saw a cafe with a Scandinavian concept such as
these. First, the cafe opposite my apartment, second is the cafe
a few days ago I stopped by to buy coffee and this third one. Possibly
the tastes of young people today are the same, what else hits, that's what
they made it an icon for their bisnsis. I think we should
got your own taste for everything, let alone this about where to hang out.
Do not market deh, let people curious and not bosen.
“Mana the ponakan
you said multitalenta?” I raised my chin and Reza smiled
widths.
“Wait...” Reza
jingling around looking for the figure of his nephew. “Eh it's him…. Staircase!”
I'm turning
my head, following Reza's eyes. Now my eyes catch the figure of a man of stature
tall strapping with hair in light brown paint that is running towards
our. The man smiled, and instantly said ‘hai’ when he got to the front
our.
I'm wrinkling
my forehead. Looks like this man's face is no stranger to my memory. But where
yeah.I'm sure I've seen it.
“Lho, you...”.
rangga's voice broke the monologue in my head.
“Lho, you guys
know each other?!” Reza dilates her pupils.
I am the one who still
struggling hard at the thought of my first encounter with this tall man only
garrumphed. Come on. Where I've met him.
“Yang nemuin
wallet, when you bought coffee.” This guy in front of me was like he was giving me a clue
in the midst of my confusion.
“Gosh!” me
jumped. “I tried to inget-inget, it turns out.it's you...”.
Rangga laughing.
“So you have Reza?”
I'm nodding.
“Iya. Not Just

“Thankful.

“Oh yes...knewin...aku Rangga—‘.
“I Julia.”
Sambarku quickly received Rangga's hand. We laughed, I don't know how it felt suddenly
just connect.
“Eheem....!”
deheman Reza's voice managed to make us both turn at the same time. “Since
I'm muted!”
We're back
laughingly. Rangga asked Reza and me to wait before he returned
backwards, then appeared a while later with waiters behind him
while carrying a tray full of food.
“Gue is not
delicious you know, given so much food.” Reza was smiling while inserting
a spoonful of pasta into his mouth. “Eem...enaaak...”.
I followed
Reza, take a spoonful of pasta and then taste it too. It feels enough
delicious, although not as good as restaurants that specifically serve pasta
as the main menu, but I can give this pasta a value of eight out of ten.
Great right?
“Udah eat only,
if you come tomorrow. It's a different story!” sahurt Rangga who sat in the
between us. “Gue must have told you to pay, full!”
Reza
look dizzy, now he turned his fork in the plate
spaghetti, and displays the same expression when the food has melted
in mouth.
“Oh yes, this cafe

“Oh yes?” me
stopped kunyahanku. “Where?”
“At the other side

Anton at that time?
“Yang concept

Stifling
nods.
“Dan don't

nods. “Fright!”
“Astagaa...world.
is it narrow?” I patted my forehead. Besides being surprised, I also laughed at my judgment
it was about the concept that young people choose in running a business. Panties
the concept is the same, the owner wong is the same person as well.
“Eh

Reza. “Don't tell me you live in the same apartment as Julia

“Eh, yes?” me
looking at rah Rangga.
“Apartment

I'm nodding.
“Ya enah...unit what number?”
“705.”
“Gosh! I

“We're neighbors

“Bene-gener...”
“Udah yes wak,

“Udah has

“Udah. This is again a child program.” Sahutku lightly.

I opened
the door of the house and find Reinard already wearing a casual t-shirt and sitting on
front television. Seeing me coming, he looked. Ignoring the movie since
enjoyed it.
“Lho.

“Iya, already from

Reinard laughed
slow down.
“Why you
looking good this afternoon?” ask Reinard then without letting go
his embrace. We were still hugging at the door, with his hands
stroking my head.
“So just eat
same afternoon Reza and his nephew.” My solute. “Eh knows that Reza's nephew
got a cafe downstairs, keep staying next to our unit dear.”
“Oh yes, what girl

I smiled
small-time. He was jealous, I felt it.
“Cowok.”
“Oh..
“Only oh.....?”
I let go of her embrace.
“Continue to

“Ya says

ambience.

because I don't think my relationship with Reinard has improved until now.
But, when I was in harmony with my husband, the desire to
bringing Rosa down is gone.
“Iya, why

“Don't forget.
Tomorrow day after tomorrow! I'm waiting at the airport!” his voice was not like a request,
but a threat. Last night I called him not to
just go, but Rosa sulks and says I'm someone who can't
keep promises.
I grunt.
“Iya...iya....” I hung up my phone and saved my phone back inside.
