8. commotion in the cafe



Ian came closer to their table. Seeing the easy Jeslin that changed drastically made Ben realize it. He also looked in that direction. His forehead wrinkled when he saw a man with an ABG-like appearance, a pair of shredded jeans on the knee, plus a typical motorcycle leather jacket, making Ben frown. Moreover, the man approached while continuing to look at each other with Jeslin.


"Jes? Wow, I just happened to meet you here. You how are you?" asked Ian who approached the table with both hands attached to the teak table.


Jeslin's face instantly pale. His trembling hand, hidden on his lap. He bit his lips to contain the fear that was now starting to come, especially when Ian grinned at him. This was known to Ben who had seen him since.


"Would you like to come here?" asked Jeslin who was unwilling to look at the young man who was still standing in front of him.


"Jeez, Jes. You're so mean? I miss you the same. Time can't?" asked Ian with a seductive look.


Jeslin really felt uncomfortable with Ian's statement just now. More to see the reaction of his friend also Ben who looked strange looking at him.


"Don't be like that, Ian! You better go now! We have no more business!" jeslin said with restraining anger. But it's not Ian if he takes it for granted what Jeslin said. Precisely Ian since a few days ago did want to meet Jeslin and even desperate to find Jeslin in the office.


"Ah, I want to have lunch too" said Ian, pulling a chair at the side table and placing it on their table.


But just as he was about to sit down, Ben pulled back Ian's shirt collar and put the young man back in an upright position. Ian laughed when he was treated like that by Ben. As if he would like to be teased Ben with his action.


"Look down dong, Boss!" said Ian while placing both hands beside his head.


"Lo didn't cry out what Jeslin said? He wants you to go. Mending you unplug now." Ben is still trying to calm down, even though he could just hit Ian who is actually getting more literate.


"Eh, who the hell are you? Jeslin's girlfriend? Huh uh?" asked Ian in a tone that started to rise.


Ben took a deep breath, then turned his head in the other direction while trying as calmly as possible to deal with this problem. Balqis, Aira, and Aqila started to fret. They were certainly worried that there would be a fight between the two men.


"If so, why?" ask Ben who is getting upset and challenge Ian.


"Oh yeah? By the way, how's Jeslin? Steady, right?" ian asked whispering.


Ben frowned, and looked at Ian even more irritatedly. "You mean?"


"Huh, I've been tasting. It's natural to feel at home with him."


Although Ian whispered, but the sentence certainly sounded clear in the ears of people around, especially Jeslin. The girl was getting nervous, the more she couldn't cover up that feeling any longer. All raging. Between fear, shame, worry with their opinions that would probably label Jeslin as a cheap woman.


But suddenly Ben immediately threw a punch right in Ian's jaw. Ian fell down with blood spurting to nowhere. Ben's fist was indeed very strong, and was able to knock down his opponent from the first time he was hit. This has happened for a long time, since he was still sitting in the High School.


Ian who did not accept immediately got up. Sweeping his mouth that was flooded with blood. Some of his teeth fell out, and hopefully his jaw didn't shift. He tried to counter-attack Ben with reduced strength. While enduring the pain, Ian started attacking Ben blindly.


Having no martial arts, just the instinct to fight makes Ian certainly not an opponent comparable to Ben. Ian's punch always misses, while Ben just trying to avoid continue since. He realized that the second blow he would do could have a bad impact on Ian.


With a relaxed Ben pushed Ian's body until he fell back to hit a table nearby. He was really angry, but did not want to lose, even though he realized that he would not be able to beat the man who had claimed to be Jeslin's lover in front of him now.


But shame and prestige stepped up logic. Ian was still trying to attack Ben again and again. Until finally Ben began to careless, and turn Ian's left hand until the sound of bones shifted. Ben pushed back Ian's already weak body. Ian no longer wanted to attack. He only held onto his aching hand, while looking intently at Ben who was looking at him expressionlessly.


"Don't go to Jeslin anymore! Once again I saw you appear, I broke your right hand as well. Even your legs!" threaten Ben seriously.


Shortly after, several men came, just staring at Ben and Ian alternately and carrying the already helpless Ian. They were comrades of Ian's comrades who had been following and only dared to look from a distance. They pulled Ian's body and took him away.


The commotion became a free spectacle at the cafe. Ben fixed the fallen chair and sat back down with the others. He again widened his smile, as Jeslin looked at him with the same expression as before. Ben immediately put himself sitting next to Jeslin. The girl was still staring at Ben, waiting for the young man's reaction.


"Quiet down. If it was me, he wouldn't dare approach you." Ben is still smiling. Although Jeslin could not smile at all in this situation. His mind was still chaotic and in a frenzy.


Seeing that there was no reaction expected by Ben, he then shifted the stiff between them with the food that had now come according to their orders.


"Come, we'll eat first. I'm hungry." Ben began to take his order and shifted Jeslin's possessions before the girl. Balqis, Aira, and Aqila also did the same. Although the three of them seemed surprised by the incident, but they tried to look nothing happened. Especially seeing the condition of Jeslin who is getting moody.


No one knows what exactly happened between Jeslin and Ian. They keep trying to keep each other's privacy. Especially if Jeslin did not want to discuss it with them right now. But from Ian's sentence earlier, of course they can already catch what really happened.

"Bad! I'll get back to him later!" Ian screamed in annoyance on the way home from the cafe. He was still cleaning up the bloodstains that were still on his face, as well as his shirt. All three of his friends just kept quiet while staring at him in a head-shirting bell. "Why don't you guys help me anyway! I know, I got battered gini, even you guys just dibem! What kind of friends are you?!" This time Ian actually berated his friend because he was upset.


"God! Precisely because you have been battered gini, we where dare help! Crazy anyway! Want to die?!" chandra sits next to Tessa, who is still busy driving.


"Yes, Yan. We even saw for ourselves how that guy hit you earlier. I was going to help, but once he hit you so bloody, we backed off!" said Tessa who actually got a short blow from Ian. But Tessa's words make Arif and Ari laugh. Tessa's facial expression was funny when she said that.


"What are you doing anyway, looking for her same problem? Wonder me," said Ari who sat in the back car seat.


"Gue has nothing to do with him. I want to see Jeslin! It was even that wiggling that appeared! Goddamnit!"


"Jeslin isn't Susan's brother? Did you break up with him? What else, Yan? Want to turn Susan back over to Jeslin?"


"Why did I chase Susan? Old, not delicious. Jeslin. He just me virgin once. Beuh, I'm the one who unsealed!"


"Huh? Lo crazy! Your ex-brother can be healed! Bener really big class playboy lo, Yan," praised Arif.


"You want to see the video?"


"Huh? You record, Yan? Anjir! Psychopaths are really our feelings," said Chandra. "Where?"


Of course, the character of men is almost all the same if faced with things that smell perverted. Apparently Ian was really recording all those events. He put the camera in the corner of his room. He was quite astute because thus Jeslin would be easy to control according to his will. Ian was still not satisfied enjoying Jeslin's body. Moreover, a figure like Ian who is hyper makes him have to every day feel the sensation of fun with women, and the woman he wants is certainly not an arbitrary woman.


"Lo crazy, Yan! He lo rape? Oh, my God, you're short of girls, what the hell?" tanya Tessa who can only see the 15-minute video scene at a glance.


"Either that! I just felt like a girl like Jeslin this time. All this time, no one, the girl who rejected me. Even Susan is addicted to sleeping with me. Until she ran away from her tired husband. But this ... Jeslins. Ah, you guys should try him next time."


For them sleeping with women is not a strange and personal thing anymore. Even Icha, who used to date Ari, has also been spun by the five of them. They're really crazy. Really crazy.

The car has entered the office parking lot. Until Ben stopped his car right in front of the lobby door. The three girls sitting in the back, immediately came out while exclaiming to thank Ben.


"Thanks, Ben! Tomorrow we will announce again if there is a cafe that is launching."


"Berez. I'm willing to be your driver as long as I can eat good and cheap. The discount turned out to be good as well, yes," said Ben who made Jeslin smile thinly.


"Yes, let's go first! Jes, go!" take Balqis while waving to Jeslin who is still sitting on the seat beside Ben.


"Eh, you guys go first. I'd like to have a quick chat with Jeslin," asked Ben with a hopeful expression, even clenching both hands in front of the chest to get the three virgins' approval.


"Alright, alright. Have fun" cried Aqila. Aira cheerfully waved her hands while staring at Ben and Jeslin alternately. The car door closed, and Jeslin was still in place. I don't know why he became a bully. He is usually not easily conquered. Especially considering their meeting in Daniel's office some time ago. Jeslin looked coldly in response to Ben, but now everything changed.


Both were silent for a moment. Until finally Jeslin opened his voice because he only saw Ben who smiled since then.


"On that ... Thanks, yeah." The words were simply spoken from Jeslin's mouth. He really meant the word he said. Jeslin wanted to thank Ben for saving him from Ian.


"Oh, just relax. If he comes again and starts making trouble like that, you just call me."


"okay."


"Actually who is he? Do you have any problem with him? Daniel know?"


"No. Don't tell Daniel. Ian is not who. Daniel is not familiar either. Ian and I ... Actually ...." The sentence was interrupted, Jeslin hesitated to tell Ben the truth. On the one hand, she wanted to tell Ben what Ian had done to her.


"Hm? Why, Jes?" Ben looked at Jeslin deeply, and instead slightly brought his body closer to Jeslin who was sitting beside him. This made Jelasin retreat until he leaned against the side door.


"No. Not what. I ... I'm back in the office first. Later late," he said and immediately opened the car door.


Jeslin's hand was held by Ben. Making the girl look at the young man who is still in the same position.


"Okay, if you don't want a story yet. But if you are ready, do not hesitate to make a story to me, yes. Who knows, I can help you" Ben said in earnest.


Ben's eyes were paled. Making Jeslin was stunned in a few seconds, until he finally realized and immediately got out of Ben's car.


The brown-eyed young man just stayed inside his car, staring at Jeslin's departure with question marks. He really meant what he said just now, and he was going to find out for himself who Ian really was. Moreover, seeing how frightened Jeslin was when he saw Ian.


Ben's running his car. He also had to go back to the office, otherwise his father would definitely beat him up for skipping work again. He took the wire and now one name that he was looking for in mobile phone contact.


"Panner ... Panji esempe, Panjii fak. Technics, Millennium banner, Mirna aunty Promise ... Well, High School Panji! See you too."


Ben put that flat object close to the ear. The sound of a very typical telephone connection ringtone, as if making the time rotate very long. Until finally on the third call, the voice across the familiar enough to make him smile.


"Why you, Ben?"


"God, instead of greeting, ask the news, just talk so deeply."


"Bullshit up! I guess I don't know you. From the time of graduating high school until already working gini, lo just this time connect me, there must be a desire. Yes, speaking! Don't wear it for long."


Smirk Ben is invisible to Panji who is busy in front of his computer. He opened a pretty crowded cafe since he graduated from college. Her undergraduate degree was never used to finding a job all this time. Because it is he who opens jobs for others.


"Open. This one is really top! Where are you, Nji? I'll stop by your house, okay?"


"Well?"


"Kangen you're the same, Nji."


"Dreams of what I am kemalem diangenin lo. Go to the cafe, I'm here until night."


"Warnet? Which cafe? Deket our school first? Anjir, are you still playing at the cafe?"


"Bego! I open the cafe, dodol! Therefore, if you feel like you have the news, call the cake, send WA cake!"


"Wow, cool! Open the cafe? Over where? Jeez it turns out that hobbies and habits used to fit high school have a good impact on the future huh, Nji?"


"Bawel, lo! Yes, I share the location."


"Okay, ready!"


Panji and Ben used to be one school in high school. They're close, but not as close as Ben is to Daniel now. Ben is the type of person who does not really like to talk stale with others, even though it is his old friend. Since school, only Daniel is Ben's best friend who continues to be in your life until now. Not that Panji is not a good friend, but they do start busy since entering the world of lectures, and again the majors they take are not the same, making their communication interrupted. They are one campus, but still like never met.


Ben, Daniel, Panji and some of their old friends, are community friends. They have a large community that is quite famous in the school. They call themselves Pasgabat. Which means the army failed to respond. The mischief of teenagers when in High School they also do. From running away from school, smoking at school, brawling, fighting with upperclassmen or underclassmen, has become a natural thing among them. There are only 2 things they do. Drugs and harassing women. No matter how they are, despite almost daily fighting, they never touch the unclean thing in the least.  Although the circulation of drugs among teenagers at that time was very easy, but did not make the failed team into anti-drug teams. Whatever they were as teenagers, they still had logic. Because with drugs, their lives will be destroyed, have no future, like some friends who have been entangled with the illegal object before.


Panji since High School is proficient in operating computers. His desire to open his own cafe has been expressed far away. Finally his dream came true. With the cafe, he managed to open a job and make some of his school friends as employees. However, the Panji is still the old Panji. Being the owner of the cafe does not necessarily make himself an arrogant figure. Moreover, his cafe already has several branches. Not only internet cafes, but computer and laptop stores that are quite in demand are owned by Panji.
