"Come, hurry up a little!! What time do you want us to eat if you take this long???" called Gale from the first floor of the house. He had waited too long for Naava who was getting ready for their dinner this time.
"Yes! I'm ready, just jerk off!" cried Naava from his room.
"We're just going out to eat, not going to the invitation! Don't give it too long!!," snapped Gale again
"Yes, it's so chatty..," Naava said softly as he put a brown watch on his wrist. He tidied his hair, again He made sure in the mirror, there was nothing lacking in his appearance. Flowering pink knee-length dress, light pink lipstick, wavy blonde hair allowed to break down beautifully. He picked up his bag, turned off the room lights, and rushed down to meet Gale who was tired of waiting two hours more, from the promise of the two of them.
"Hey! You know it's been a long time" said Gale, who was getting angry, but suddenly stunned to see the beauty of Naava's figure in a dress berbunganya out of his room. He saw Naava's different figure than usual, Naava's white face shining, and her red cheeks, and her small pink-lipped smile, adding to Naava's sweet appearance at the time.
Gale could not continue with the words to vent his anger on Naava. He lost to Naava's charm. He was absolutely blown away by Naava's performance tonight.
"Am I beautiful?" asked Naava to approach Gale in a twisting motion to show her the dress. Gale looked at Naava who was casting charm with his stunning look.
'Why did this woman's aura suddenly radiate so brightly tonight?'
'She's so beautiful...'
'His face shines like a wingless angel'
'Who is the man who doesn't fall for it?'
Gale said, He continued to praise in his heart.
"Yes.you..KE-LA-MA-AN!!!," said Gale coldly, as he rushed straight into the car. He could not look at Naava for too long. But he refused to give Naava direct praise, his pride was too high to praise a Naava. After all, he had been hunting badmood for waiting too long.
Naava immediately entered the car after saying goodbye to Oma. She sat in the front seat of Gale's car, tidying up her folded dress.
"Let's go! ," Naava said with a smile
"How can we go, you haven't installed your seatbelt yet" replied Gale who directly pulled the seatbelt from beside Naava's chair. Gale's sudden movements brought Naava closer to her body to pull the seatbelt, leaving Naava shocked, instantly closing her eyes. He was surprised, because Gale and himself were touching each other. It felt as if Gale's breath was passing through his face which made his heart beat very fast. He took a deep breath, it felt like he was getting harder to breathe when faced with Gale's face right in front of him.
"Here it is," said Gale while turning on his car's engine. Naava slowly opened his eyes, and tried to be calm with what he had just felt back then. Gale turned on the music to give them a sense of relaxation.
***
At exactly half-eight in the evening they arrived at Belmondo restaurant, one of the historical places for Naava. Given this place, Gale first stated that he would marry Naava in front of Ajeng, Gale's former lover. Although after that time Naava knew, that the purpose of Gale stated it was solely to make Ajeng jealous not because He really loved Naava.
Yes, Naava is not at all concerned about it, the most important thing now is his feelings that have begun to open up to welcome Gale. The opposite is what Naava feels about Gale's feelings. Naava felt that Gale had started to accept Naava with his occasional sweet behavior on Naava.
"Here I help," said Gale pulling the chair, so that Naava could sit down immediately. That night Gale looked different, he was sweeter than usual.
"Thank you," Naava replied with a smile. Restaurant maids immediately came to them to take note of their menu that night.
"I like tenderloin steak the most here, would you like to try it?" Naava told Gale. Gale simply nodded his agreed sign at Naava. He had only tried to eat there for the first time, it was not wrong to let the host serve the recommended food, Gale thought.
"Vannila blue Ice, one, mba," said Gale picked the drink while showing a picture on the menu on the restaurant waiter
" And Strawberry Milkshake" Naava said, choosing her favorite drink
"Please wait for the order. Thank you," said the waiter after noting the menu order Gale and Naava.
"Eiya, by the way Gal, you looked busy a few days ago. I was reluctant to ask for help for my paper" Naava said
"Oh.. That's.. I was on assignment in Yogyakarta, so I had to go back there. But commute that day, too," Gale replied briefly
"It must be very important yes, so you must be forced to go home. And you must also be exhausted," Naava said as he sipped the freshly delivered Strawberry milkshake to their desk
"Yes," said Gale again briefly
"Oiya, by the way, have you started to tell a story?" asked Naava slowly but surely to Gale
"About?,"
"About the woman we met yesterday, at this restaurant,"
"Oh.. Her.. You definitely don't want to hear a lot of stories about Ajeng.."
"He's my ex-lover" Gale replied briefly. Hearing that Naava suddenly stopped and put the fork in his left hand.
His heart is racing, though,
'Right, as I've expected' Naava thought to himself. He did not know what to say after this, whether he could hear all the stories that happened between Gale and Naava, certainly not. His heart will be pierced to hear the story of the two of them. On the other hand, Naava who will be engaged to Gale, should He know a little about what happened with the past of his future fiancee.
"Oh, okay. Why do you seem to hate her so much?" Naava said trying to calm down. He tried to strengthen his heart, with whatever he would hear from Gale
"We've been dating for a long time, even from childhood we've been together. He chose to agree to be betrothed to his parents' partner and leave me, "gale replied calmly, enjoying his first piece of meat
"Is he matre? So he's leaving you?"
"Ajeng is not like the usual girl, Naa. He was polite, his heart soft, and submissive. He could not resist his father's wishes. Even though it hurt him" Gale replied with a smile. Feeling a little pain in Naava's chest hearing the words of praise that were thrown from Gale's mouth for Ajeng.
In Naava's head, it just crossed
'A Gale, who was hard and rude, even spoke softly to me he was hard, a boro-boro praised me. But this time he looked very sincere praising this girl named Ajeng. Surely his heart is very attached to the figure of an Ajeng. It's not wrong that he was very disappointed when Ajeng left him'
"Why don't you see her parents? You should be trying to defend Ajeng" replied Naava, unaware that he was shaking with the fork in his hand. He was jealous, but acted relaxed.
"I've done more than work, her parents still disagree, I'm not from the royal family. Ajeng does not want to come with me, disobey the parents he said," replied Gale casually. Feeling the look of his face that still holds great disappointment in the decision of Ajeng at that time.
"She's beautiful yes, you two should be compatible. Oops!!! Pardon me! Pardon me! I accidentally," said Naava, accidentally pressed the knife to cut the meat steak too strong, so that the piece of meat came out of the plate. He felt pain in his heart when he said the words just now.
"I'm too comfortable with him. Never again have I met a girl as calm and mature as her. He can reconcile this harsh me," Gale said with a smile.
It seemed, every single thing about Ajeng that Gale had told him, brought sweet memories for him. He kept smiling as he told me everything about Ajeng. Unlike when the two of them spoke, there was only a fight.
"But now he's just a piece of my past story" said Gale again, who made Naava's feelings calm.
"You are a good person, you should also be able to get a partner as good as you are. I believe that one day you will also get happiness even if not with him," Naava said slowly as he sipped back the drink in front of him
"Now I have started living. Being betrothed to you, I think that's really a bad idea I've been on. You're not my type at all, Naa..," Gale said with a smile again. Naava looked at her seriously, why should she now say this, Naava thought. Just add to the heartache.
"But, to my astonishment, lately I have felt very carried away with this carefree self of yours. I feel comfortable, my heart feels the better the day it is with you. It doesn't look like myself." Gale said slowly. Naava was silent at the words that came from Gale's mouth. He was embarrassed, smiling.
Naava, who wanted to say something, had to stop hearing the sound of Gale's phone suddenly ringing.
On the screen it says: A Call from Mom
Gale picked up the phone from her mother
"Hello, Njih, ma'am." said Gale to his mother's phone
"What's? What happened to Ajeng????"
"I'm going there now! Flight tonight," Gale said, then disconnected the phone.
"Naa, sorry I have to go to Yogya now. Important, I can't explain now. I'll get you a taxi to drive you home" Gale said hurriedly.
'Why go to Yogya tonight?'
'I heard him call Ajeng on the phone, is this all about him?'
'Hopefully nothing bad happened'
Naava said in his heart. He looked so fucked that night.
Gale immediately called a taxi, to send him home because Gale was in such a hurry.
"You be careful," Naava ordered last before Gale closed the taxi door.
"Yes. I'm sorry I can't take you home" replied Gale quietly
Taxis speed up in the middle of the streets on a lonely drizzle night. That was the only thing accompanying Naava at the moment. Again, why does everything feel sad when it rains?
