"Are you sure you can hold me back from going to sewer before there's a cue from Zenneth?" ask Haz.

"I'm not sure, but I have to be sure. After all, you are stubborn. If only I couldn't hold you back, then I should be able to protect you" replied the Whisk while driving the car.

Whisk looks cool in plain white T-shirts and sport black trousers. He also straightened his hair backwards.

Unknowingly, Haz continued to glance towards the Whisk. He was like a witch to do that. Unfortunately, he was caught by the master.

"Why keep looking at me? I know I'm handsome, but if you look at me like this keep going .. I'm gonna be embarrassed," teased Whisk.

"Shut up!" hiss Haz. His face blushed. He who was embarrassed for subconsciously being unable to take his gaze off the Whisk.

"I was just kidding. You can look at me as you like" said Whisk. She smiles at Haz and refocuses on driving.

Whisk parked the car in front of a quiet cafe far away from the big street.

"Where do you know this place?" ask Haz.

"I asked Jelkesya" replied the Whisk. "Say, if you're not in the mood, this place is the best place that can restore your mood. So, I decided to have dinner at this place only. You and I both love the quiet."

"Yes, I go to this place a lot if my mood is not good. This place is very quiet. I like it" said Haz.

"It's good if you like it." Whisk patted Haz's head slowly and got out of the car.

Haz touches his head which is patted gently by the Whisk. He also got out of the car.

The two of them walked into the cafe.

The atmosphere inside was very calm and matched the personalities of the two of them. Not many people there. A relaxing song from a wall-mounted speaker.

Haz and Whisk decide to sit at a table near a glass window that directly overlooks the mini-caffe garden, enjoying the view of the night outside wrapped in dim light.

Someone Haz knew very well came close to him and the Whisk. He's the waitress of that cafe, Ratih.

"Eh, there's Miss Hazel." Ratih smiled faintly at Haz. He used to do it.

"Eh, there's Ratih. Piye?" tanya Haz in Javanese.

"That's fine, Miss," replied Ratih. He turned his eyes towards the Whisk. "Sopo ski? Bojo ne po?—Who is this? Her boyfriend is?—Casual ne teka—come—bareng Miss Jel."

Haz's face turned red when Ratih asked if Whisk was her boyfriend. He doesn't know what to answer.

"Cie .. sing teka karo bojo ne—Cie .. who came with his girlfriend. Ojo lali tax soan e—Don't forget the finished tax—Nona Hazel." Ratih seduces Haz. "Alright if Ratih is not a part. Ratih's snatching."

"Yes, Ratih. Aye." Yeah." Haz's face was very red, like a ripe tomato. Is it because his mood is good that he accepts all of Ratih's words? He doesn't know. He didn't even understand what was happening to himself.

"Yes already. Miss is the same boyfriend who wants a message?" ask Ratih, stop teasing Haz and get serious.

"Let's list the menu to him" said Haz. "He was the first time he came here. Don't know all the food here is delicious."

"Oh yes, Ratih forgot," joked Ratih. He thrust out a menu list to the first Whisk to come to the place. "This. Please take a look."

"Thank you," said Whisk, receiving a menu list proffered by Ratih. He looked through the menu list.

"Well, what's Miss Hazel doing?" ask Ratih.

"Eater eats all," replied the spoiled Haz. He was confused as to what to order. "The food here is delicious."

"Loh heh's. That is what it is" said Ratih. "Come on, don't get confused. What do you want a message? Or do you want to train the one who decides?"

"Today what's a lot to order?" ask Haz.

"A lot of orders?" Patty looks thinking. "The much ordered is fried rice kampung sama mi goreng. Because it's not the rainy season, it's not so good."

"Yes already. I ordered the fried rice village one, the eggs were plucked, plus one bath," Haz said.

"Mandi?" ask Whisk did not understand.

Practice laughing loudly to attract the attention of other visitors. He immediately apologized to the visitors and answered the Whisk's silly question, "The bath is cold sweet tea. Abbreviated as shower. Miss Hazel ajarin gih boyfriend flulenya abbreviations in Indonesian, so not confused."

Gosh darn. It turns out that shower is sweet iced tea. I guess what .... Whisk covered his face using a menu list.

"Practice the train. He was the first time to Indonesia. I speak Indonesian, but I don't know abbreviations" Haz said.

"OKAY. Waiting for yes" said Ratih. He leaves Haz and Whisk's table when they get the order they want.

Haz and Whisk re-enjoiced in the quiet. Not speaking a word until finally Ratih came carrying the order of both of them.

"Please enjoy." Practice putting Haz and Whisk orders on the table.

"Thank you, Train." Haz smiled at Ratih.

"Together." Ratih retaliates and leaves from there, giving Haz and Whisk space to talk.

"It turns out the food here is delicious and cheap" Whisk said as he stuffed a spoonful of fried rice into his mouth.

As a first-time traveler to Indonesia, Whisk must admit that the place of origin is better than five-star restaurants abroad. Each country has its own characteristics.

"of course. Do you think I'll come to this place often if the cuisine is not tasty even though the atmosphere is supportive?" ask Haz.

"You're a maniac eating," ledek Whisk.

"I'm an eating maniac" said Haz. He doesn't deny the Whisk— that he loves to eat and snack.

"I still like you" said the frontal Whisk.

"Man has a sweet mouth" Haz said when he heard the Whisk. He rolled his eyeballs lazily.

"I'm not lying. I still like you. I love you, Lady ...." Whisk is almost like whispering when saying it. His voice was suddenly hoarse and so deep.

"Save your fight for your future soul mate." Haz rejects the whisperings. He felt inappropriate.

"You are my soul mate." Whisk clasped Haz's hand on the table.

Just then, a song was played from the speaker.

You know I want you—You know I want you

It's not a secret I try to hide—It's not something I'm trying to hide

I know you want me—I know you want me

So don't keep sayin' our hands are tied—So don't keep saying our hands are tied

You claim it's not in the cards—You claim it's not on the card

And fate is pullin' you miles away—And destiny draws you miles away

And out of reach from me—And it's out of my reach

But you're here in my heart—But you're here in my heart

So who can stop me if I decide—So who can stop me if I decide

That you're my destiny?—That you're my destiny?

What if we rewrite the stars?—What if we rewrite destiny?

Say you were made to be mine—Say that you were created just for me

Nothing could keep us apart—Nothing could separate us

You'd be the one I was meant to find—You're the guy I was looking for

It's up to you, and it's up to me—It's your choice, and it's my choice

No one can say what we get to be—No one can say what we're going to be

So why don't we rewrite the stars?—So why don't we rewrite destiny?

Maybe the world could be ours—Maybe the world will be ours

Tonight—Tonight
