The soft clap on the Son's shoulders shocked the man. A man of his age laughed broadly at the surprised reaction of the Son. He is indeed easily surprised if he focuses on one thing even though he is daydreaming.


The son was sitting in one corner of the cafe where Nada Sumbang played tonight, when Danu surprised him. After going through a confiding session with Noah, the man only realized his purpose was to go home. He and his band had to meet the invitation to perform at the Oranges Caffe.


After a long time never gig at the cafe, tonight they accept the offer, because from Oranges Caffe they are known as now and often receive a job tour concert and so forth. Yes, the first place Putra sang his song for Kanya was greeted by other unforgettable moments.


Ah, that woman again.


It seems, however persistent the Son tried to forget Kanya, the stronger the feeling of love for the woman. Even the place where he sits now, has always been Kanya's choice when accompanying Nada Sumbang gig.


"Bengong mulu lo, Ky," said Danu when his best friend did not respond to his call from the first moment he patted her on the shoulder. Next to Danu was another band member. "Not yesterday you said Kanya came after the reunion yes, why is it still just fine?"


"He's back, '" replied the short-lived Son, hiding his face on a table resting on his arms.


The one sitting closest to him only patted the Son's shoulder as if to give strength. The love story of the Son and Kanya, has become an open secret for Nada Sumbang. Well how could they not know if clearly Papa Putra and Mama Kanya live one house as husband and wife. They even attended the wedding of the parents of the Son and Kanya, just to keep the man from doing anything.


"Obviously it's not better if you look at the romances that are still there" said Arlan. He is indeed the most courageous to disturb Putra if the vocalist Nada Sumbang was bad mood.


The friendship between Arlan and Putra is a little unique. Unlike the three other members of Nada Sumbang who prefer to pay attention and make the Son comfortable, because they know the man has trauma if he is in a position of panic or certain moments. When the lights turn off when it rains for example.


Son and Arlan used to be a major in college. Ever since we first met - when the night of familiarity that showed the talents of each student, never a day was missed without making fun of each other. Starting a trivial problem to a truly crucial problem. Especially in their music games that are equal and do not want to be equated. They have their own ego in music.


Once Arlan mocked the song created by the Son who impressed meme-menye. At that time he had not joined Nada Sumbang and was still active with his old band. Though according to the three other members of Nada Sumbang, the song is already good and shows their characteristics like so far. But Arlan lightly criticized the work of the Son and made the man angry.


"Yes, if you think my song is ugly, make better," challenge the Son at that time. Arlan with all his high ego accepts the challenge of the Son.


"What would you make a bet?"


"Gue will come out of Nada Sumbang, but if you lose, you have to join as our keyboardist" said Putra confidently. Because Putra knows, a figure like Arlan must be embraced for the sake of the advancement of music Nada Sumbang.


A week later, they held a mini-show on the faculty page. Assessment based on who gets the most love from the audience. Balanced result. Until finally Kanya appeared and gave a sign of love for the Son.


In order to maintain self-esteem and show Putra if Nada Sumbang's music is too soft, Arlan decided to join. And, little by little make Tone Sumbang more colorful with a little touch of folk who sometimes vociferously voice social inequality. Not just about the bucin. Hence, Arlan was the most bitter to mock the Son in any situation.


"You know, **** I understand."


"Oh yeah, focus on the show first. Soon there will be another city, too" Alfian added hurriedly, before Arlan and Putra attack each other and cause chaos. The bespectacled man pulled Putra's back to sit up straight and asked her for a sound check before the cafe visitors arrived.


"It is not important," said the Son indifferently. He put away Arlan's hand trying to touch the scar on his face.


"Udah knows to play, uh this is even a fight."


The son glanced at Arlan with a sharp look. He fought not intentionally, but the man who remembered it, had already upset Son.


"Who is the same?" alfian asked, curious because the Son did not answer.


"It's not important I say."


"How do you say it doesn't matter, you're Nyet's vocalist. Your existence is the first thing people see. If you bonyok face like that will also affect the same appearance."


Despite sounding annoyed, Arlan still set his emotions to not explode. If he is provoked with the anger of the Son, it could be even more aggravating the situation.


That's how Arlan, although on the one hand often argue with the Son, but he is the most attentive. Even the slightest thing never escaped his observation. Not only to the Son, but to all members of Nada Sumbang. Especially if it's a matter of appearance. After all, they are public figures whose names are quite well known among indie music enthusiasts.


For Nada Sumbang, Arlan is a figure who is able to protect the band members who sometimes still act selfish and sometimes act like a child. It is not wrong if in the end Arlan is the one who acts as a leader as well as a manager who takes care of Nada Sumbang.


"Wait here, I'm looking for make up first. No matter how you look, your scar has to be invisible."


"What the hell? No need, I don't need make up," refused Putra almost make Arlan add bruise on the man's face if not prevented by Danu.


"Over the years, we have always loved understanding yes whenever there is a problem. We always try to give you leeway because you know you have a big responsibility for the continuity of Nada Sumbang. We just want you to be in charge of your own body."


Arlan was really impatient to face the stubborn attitude of the vocalist Nada Sumbang. If it wasn't in a public place, it would have been the guy punching her. Even though he can be mature, but not by facing the stubbornness of the Son.


"And I ask you not to interfere with my body."


"But your face will be the first highlight, Monkey. It is up to you to tell us the same story or do not you fight the same who. I won't care. I just want to save Nada Sumbang's reputation. Satisfied with." Arlan sighed. Before finally looking at the Son with a sharp highlight. "Lo want to leave an impression to the audience if our band likes violence?"


At the same time, Cindy appeared and greeted the members of Nada Sumbang with a cheerful voice. The woman observed one by one the members of Nada Sumbang who looked tense. Without even explaining, Cindy knew that something had happened between them.


"Gue help cover your scars the same powder yes, Put. It won't be thick."


The son refused, but eventually the man relented and let Cindy touch his face. There is always pain that others do not know when someone touches the face of the Son. For the only person the Son allowed to touch his face was only Kanya. Again, the woman left a feeling of pain.
