Linger

Saturday Night

At seven, Kalea set herself before a large mirror in the room. She is currently wearing a white brucat dress under her knees. He was going to have dinner with Gavin. That afternoon, the man stayed in the living room for a while. They discussed trivial matters ranging from the beginning of how Kalea likes the blue Hydrangea to random discussion about the development of television broadcasts that are increasingly poor quality. After the tea in the cup was wiped out, the man resigned. But Gavin said he'd come back to take Kalea to dinner. So this is where Kalea is now, busy fixing her appearance.

Gavin said he'd pick her up by half-eight, but if you want to know, Kalea's been ready since 6. The girl bothered to choose which clothes to wear, her curly hair should be stroked or tied, and what supporting accessories she should wear to support her appearance. This is just dinner. Gavin didn't even say he was going to take Kalea to a fancy restaurant, but Kalea was really excited with her own preparations.

After making sure the thin makeup on her face was neat, Kalea moved out from the front of the mirror. He sat down on the side of the bed while playing his phone. Just check if there is an incoming message from Gavin or not. And it turns out there isn't. Even though they had discussed this this afternoon, but in fact Gavin did not necessarily change his attitude to actively send messages. The difference is, Kalea no longer objected. The important thing is that he knows that Gavin has no intention of pulling his back.

Fifteen minutes later, Kalea heard the bell ringing. He was sure it was Gavin, so with a passionate and an expanding smile, he ran out of the room. His little legs moved slowly down the stairs, through the living room until he reached the living room. When he was about to open the door, Bi Imah emerged from the kitchen while struggling. It seemed like the woman hurriedly ran towards the front door when she heard the bell ringing.

"Kalea is all." Kalea said, smiling briefly at Bi Imah before finally opening the big door in front. Bi Imah also agreed, the woman finally walked back to the kitchen.

But the moment the door opened, Kalea's smile instantly faded. Instead of Gavin, Kalea instead found Karel standing at the door with a super annoying look. In both hands of the man were several large size paperbags. Looking at her disheveled hair, Kalea guessed that Karel had just arrived from her business trip.

"Well, what's that face? Don't you see me back?" Karel was blabbing at length. His huge body barged in even before Kalea gave way. As a result, Kalea's small body staggered to the point that her narrow back was waiting for a wall near the door. It wasn't hard, but it was enough to make Kalea feel upset.

"I thought you drowned on Kuta beach!" kalea Syndir. He was upset that Karel had not been preaching all day.

With a stomping step he walked up to Karel who was now sitting on the living room sofa casually, like being at home by himself.

"Lo was so damn good that I died, huh? Seneng if his friend dies? Do you have a handsome temen and super attention like me?"

Kalea turned the eyeballs off guard. What is beautiful and caring? There is this rancid boy often makes Kalea pull blood because of his naughty behavior. Yes indeed, sometimes Karel can be nice, but it only happens if Kalea is sad and there are problems. In normal mode, Karel really sucks!

"By the way, where are you going? Tumben neat? Well, make up too?" Karel began to kepo because he realized there was something else from the appearance of Kalea.

"Weekly night, please!"

"Whose weekly night, anjir? It's single!" karel's satire ended a nagging nag.

But his weakness stopped when he heard Kalea answer, "Sama Gavin." with a bright face.

Again Karel felt claustrophobic when the name was called familiar. Though it had only been a week since Kalea knew Gavin, but Karel felt that the man had started to grab the attention of Kalea little by little. Now, whenever there was time, Kalea would definitely steal to discuss about Gavin in the middle of their chat about something else. To be honest Karel did not expect Kalea to open her heart to Gavin so soon. Because Karel knows best how Kalea. A dozen years friends, he had helped Kalea to get close to many men, but the girl always refused for various reasons.

But now, why did his Kalea suddenly change?

The question in Karel's head would not have time to be uttered, let alone to get an answer, because shortly after, Gavin came with a black body fitting T-shirt, black, ripped jeans and leather jackets are the color of the jerseys worn. His black hair that is usually neatly arranged now looks a little messy, but strangely Gavin actually looks more handsome with an appearance like this.

Karel grunting. He was upset that he had already subconsciously praised Gavin's performance. It's nothing, but if it's about the physical, Karel did admit defeat. This Gavin visual is no joke.

"Oh, you still have business, huh? Then I'll wait for you outside, okay?" gavin said, but Kalea hurriedly moved from the sofa to approach Gavin, making Karel look at him in annoyance.

"We're on the road now?" kalea asked when she was next to Gavin.

Gavin glanced at Karel who was now casting a dislike look at him. Gavin dared to bet, the brown-haired man must be cursing himself in the heart.

"You're still talking to your friend, right? Just go ahead, I can wait." Gavin said with a super soft tone of voice.

Karel hoped that Kalea would turn around and sit back to talk to him. But her hopes were dashed when the girl shook her head with a smile that extended to her ears.

"Can continue to talk later. Mending the road now, kemaleman hunt." Kalea said, not caring though now Karel is giving him a deadly look.

"Let me go to your house. You just got home, right? Definitely tired. So let's get you some rest first." Kalea said before pushing Gavin's huge body out of the house.

"Bye, Karel!!"

******

Just a few meters away Gavin's car left the Kalea housing complex, raining. The speck fell so fast that Kalea could hear his earthy rustling sound with the sound of the horn pressed together. I don't know why, tonight the road is jammed. People seemed impatient waiting for their turn to pass so there was a horn fight that made Kalea's ears hurt. Sometimes he doesn't understand the minds of those people. Do they think the streets could suddenly become deserted if they honked repeatedly?

"What kind of people have problems, anyway? Is it possible that if the horn is pressed many times, the jam can be broken? Kan, no!" Kalea. He thought his words would only be heard by himself given how noisy the background noise was outside the car. But apparently the sound that came out of his mouth was also no less loud so that Gavin who was sitting behind the wheel practically turned his head with a thin smile adorning his handsome face.

Kalea turned her head, only to find Gavin staring at her with a kind of gaze that was hard to translate. He didn't feel Gavin was teasing him, but he didn't feel that the man was supporting the nagging scene just now.

"I like to get dizzy when I hear the sound of a simple horn like this." Kalea. Because it is true, his head will be dizzy instead of playing when he hears a horn noise like this. Not only because it was noisy, but there were events in the past that made him feel uncomfortable every time he was stuck in the middle of a traffic jam with a simple honking sound like now.

"I know." Gavin. The man looked straight back at the street. The car started to run slowly, so he had to refocus on driving.

Kalea looked at Gavin with a frown. "meaning?"

Gavin turned his head, then smiled faintly. "I know your head is dizzy to hear a simple horn like a gini, because I am the same."

Kalea breathed a sigh of relief as the answer came out of Gavin's lips. At first, he thought Mama had told him about events in the past that made Kalea like this. If that really happened, Kalea would be very angry with Mama. Because that woman shouldn't have shared that much with Gavin.

In the rest of the journey, which took fifteen minutes later, Kalea and Gavin were silent. None of them had the initiative to open the chat. There was only the sound of the roar of his second breath that was earthy filling the car. Until finally Gavin stopped his car in front of a cafe that looks lonely.

Gavin removed his seatbelt, opened the car door and walked to the other side and opened the car door for Kalea. He extended a hand to Kalea.

"Come on." Said.

Kalea welcomed Gavin's hand. Warm instantly ran through his hand as the big hand grasped it so tightly. The rain had subsided a few minutes ago, but the cold was still occasionally felt as the wind gushed against their bodies. The two then stepped in tandem to the door of the cafe and were greeted with a friendly smile by a female servant.

"Please get through here." The servant said before even Gavin and Kalea could say a word.

Kalea glanced at Gavin who was smiling at the maid before the two of them walked to follow where the maid was leading them.

Kalea's forehead creased faintly as the waiter took them to the back of the cafe. Precisely to the backyard that has been transformed in such a way as a comfortable place to eat. There was a round table on which was neatly arranged candles and two glasses of wine.

Kalea complies as Gavin pulls her body, leading her to sit on one of the chairs. Then Gavin sat down on the other chair across. The man was still smiling, even until the waiter passed and brought some food for the two of them, his smile still did not fade.

"Are you ready to do all this yourself?" kalea asked Gavin, who was busy cutting the meat into smaller pieces before handing it over to the Kalea plate.

"Mother helps." Gavin replied with a big smile.

Kalea. It seems that not only Mama and Papa are enthusiastic about this matchmaking, but both of Gavin's parents also seem to want this matchmaking to run smoothly.

"Mother the spirit once when I say I want to invite you to dinner, to be willing to spare time to prepare all this." Gavin chuckled at the end of the sentence. He recalled with Mother who was so excited about preparing this dinner since last afternoon. The usually calm and graceful woman suddenly took to and fro, busy calling some numbers with a bright and vibrant tone of voice.

"In that case, I should thank your Mother directly." Kalea smiled thinly.

"Yes, I'll take you to see Mommy."

Then they began to enjoy the food served on the plate with solemn service. But only a few mouthfuls of food entered their mouths, Gavin's phone lying on the table shook several times, causing Gavin to distract him. The man glanced at his phone in a huff, hesitating to check his phone now or to leave it alone until their meal was over.

It did not escape Kalea's attention. The girl knew Gavin needed to check his phone right now. So in a slow tone he told Gavin to check his phone immediately.

"Not anything?" asked Gavin in doubt.

"It's okay. Who knows it's important."

After cradling for a while, Gavin finally grabbed his phone and immediately checked the incoming messages in droves. As his eyes began to read one line at a time on his phone screen, Gavin suddenly rose to his feet. So suddenly, the chair he was sitting on fell backwards and it certainly made Kalea look at him in astonishment. The man's body seemed to tremble and his face looked panicked.

"Gavin's? Are you okay?" kalea asked, starting to worry. He was about to get up from the chair to approach Gavin to calm him down, but the man moved back.

"Kalea, I'm sorry, but I have to go now." Gavin spoke in a trembling voice.

Kalea had not opened her mouth when Gavin suddenly walked quickly away from her. The man's wide pungung disappeared from view in just a short time, making Kalea could only fall silent in place with thousands of question marks shrouding her head.

Gavin why?
