Iqbal and Zain exit the store leaving Rani alone waiting for Nadine to come out of the dressing room.
The two men understood, Nadine must be awkward after this, so they chose to come out first.
"Geez, my shame. I could have been slupped. I don't have any more face to see Brother Zain." Nadine squatted covering her face. His heart was agitated because of the things that should not be seen even easily he showed Zain.
"Tok tok tock... Nadine's done not yet." The door opened slowly, bringing up Nadine whose face was met with red, she was too embarrassed to mix with her guard.
"It's okay?..." Rani gently rubbed Nadine's arm, she could feel what Nadine was feeling right now.
"I'm not going home..."
"Yes but we eat first yes, I'm hungry. You must be hungry too." Rani.
"No, I can go home by myself."
"It can't be dong, we come here together. Go home should be together. If you go home alone, it's not faithful friend's name." Rani's speech at length was only answered by a small nod by Nadine.
After paying for his groceries at the cashier and asking for his groceries sent to Iqbal's home address. Rani and Nadine walk out of the clothing store. He saw Zain and Iqbal at the guardrail made of transparent glass, looking down at the height of the Mall from the 3rd floor. Below is a car show, there are several beautiful SPG proportional bodies standing and distributing brochures by spreading a friendly smile at the Mall visitors who pass by.
From any angle Zain and Iqbal look like a friend who knows each other, but Zain's attitude is too formal and serious to make Iqbal get carried away. Rani enjoys this rare moment, she is leaning against the buffer wall of the Shops she just entered. The store is almost 100% in transparent glass lid from the outside. With Nadine still faithfully standing next to him.
"They're pretty pretty. Doesn't anyone interest you?..." Iqbal asked Zain without taking his eyes off the beautiful SPG on the floor of the Mall which was covered with red carpet.
"I'm not interested in women." Nadine was wide-eyed, not believing what Zain was saying. Iqbal just shook his head in surprise at Zain's words, never changing.
"Positive thinking Nadine. Don't be so prejudiced, maybe that means another brother of Zain." Nadine slammed.
Rani looks relaxed because she understands the meaning of Zain's words because Iqbal has told Rani everything. What Zain is experiencing right now is just the trauma of being in a relationship with a woman again.
"Not interested in women but On when looking at Nadine's back." Spontaneous Zain stared at Iqbal whose eyes were still pointing downwards.
"Dwelling..." Peeking Nadine then covered her mouth. Zain's view turned to Nadine, both of whom became confused to behave how. Rani smiled faintly at their behavior, then approached Iqbal.
"On, what the hell does that mean?..." Nadine slammed.
"Based on the eyes of the basket, can't see a little clear girl." Rani, who is standing next to Iqbal, looks down at the ground floor.
"What's?... I'm looking at the car." Rani grunts annoyed.
"God, your gaze is the same as that pretty SPG." Rani pointed to the SPG that Iqbal noticed.
"That's it, don't talk that no." Iqbal grabbed Rani by the shoulder and left. Nadine and Zain trailed behind, they walked in tandem but still gave distance, frozen still with an awkward atmosphere. Nadine's habit when awkward always links the two fingers of her hand. And Zain threw his face in all directions.
"Are all pregnant women sensitive like you?... Little bit angry..."
"Let's eat yuk, I'm hungry." Rani doesn't want to argue.
"Yes, find the baby's kit later after just eating."
"No, we'll just go home."
"Loh why?... Our main purpose here is to buy baby supplies."
"Kasian Nadine, because of this incident she must be ashamed of Zain." Rani whispers to Iqbal.
"It is precisely because of that, it is an opportunity to bring them closer together. Shame is related to the heart." Rani furrowed her brows in disbelief.
"Trust me." Iqbal whispered.
They walk to find a place to eat that looks appetizing and choose to enter a Japanese-style restaurant.
"I don't want to be disturbed." Iqbal told Zain. Iqbal also wants Zain to forget his past, not only lamenting his bland life just because of women who are not worth thinking about. Without answering Zain stepped up and chose to sit a little far from the table Iqbal and Rani.
Nadine was confused, she had never entered an area like this. He didn't know what to do, he was too embarrassed to face Zain.
"Nadine, sit down with Zain. Give me and my husband room for both. Because we have business to discuss."
Nadine nodded, she was quite self-conscious as the one who hitchhiked a place to live and ate for free. Although his heart rumbled fiercely Nadine still stepped towards Zain with her face down and hands interlocked because her shame dominated. Nadine and Zain sat across. Rani sits on Iqbal's side.
After they all sat down to their respective places, waiters came to give the food menu.
"Sir and Miss want to order what menu?..." Waiters offered in a soft and polite voice.
"I ordered Daitokyo Sakaba." Say Zain after reading the food menu.
"I order this, soba kuah." Nadine pointed at the picture, the waiter immediately noted.
Nadine who was the original grosi chose the menu, she chose Ramen. Ramen is one type of Japanese noodles that are popular in various other places. This noodle is made from wheat flour and served with a gravy made from chicken or fish broth with the addition of soy sauce or miso.
Ramen is served with typical toppings such as nori and leeks. Although very famous in Japan, ramen noodles are the result of adaptations of Chinese noodles, namely lamian and the word ramen itself is a derivative of the word lamian.
"Sir and Miss, which menu message would you like?..." Say waiters after giving Iqbal and Rani a meal menu.
"Awhile yes...." Rani was still thinking, flipping through the menu.
"I ordered this. Know Soyu." Iqbal.
"If I order this one, Chicken Katsu Teriyaki Sauce."
"Drink all mineral water." Rani.
"We'll prepare." The waiters left after recording Iqbal and Rani's orders.
"Iqbal, can you be full to eat such food? The Indonesian people if they do not eat rice can not be full."
"Later if I'm still hungry, you're the one I eat." Iqbal said with a grinning smile.
"IIiiisssss iiiisss iiiisss...."
"You're not tired..."
"No, still the spirit."
"Be. Uh, look at them still salting that way." Rani pointed at Nadine and Zain with her chin.
"Mending to see you."

Taraa....A few moments later the food was served at the dining table of each restaurant visitor.

Chicken Katsu Sauce Teriyaki order Rani.
Shoyu Tofu or Japanese soy sauce, Iqbal order
Rani holding her chin up could not bear to see the appearance of Nadine who was confused and looked like a fool, did not know how to eat soba kuah typical Japanese.
"Ck ck ck.... Long time I've watched Nadine." Rani clucked while shaking her head. Iqbal looked at Rani's eyes while chewing on her food.
"Here you go, don't interfere in their business. Let it flow like water, if the mate is not going anywhere. Eat it, he said hungry."
"Eh, uh Iqbal. Look at that.emmmm romantic right... Happiness doesn't have to be fancy...."
"Lebay, more romantic than me."
"Romantic fuck... You're fierce..."
"Look at home later."
"What do you want?..."
"Secret..."
"What the hell?...Wik s..."
"Uhuk uhuk..." Iqbal coughed cough hearing Rani's words. He took a glass of water and drank it.
"Uhuk uhuk...." Rani patted Iqbal on the back, the intention of the heart wanted to help but instead made Iqbal even more coughing.
"Don't clap, I'm drinking."
"Eh, sorry sorry..."
"Have eaten. Too much talking while eating can shorten life."
"Iiiihhhhh lebay."
"If you die while choking how?..."
"IIiiihhhhhh said that anyway..."
"There are many cases of death from choking."
"Yes, I ate it."
Rani begins to devour her food while watching Zain and Nadine.
"Zain was evil, no pity to see Nadine. Even busy mijitin Hp."
"Start again."
"Hehe."
***
Japanese soup Nadine order.
Nadine pensively looked at the noodles in front of her.
"This is how it eats." Nadine grumbled, of course in her heart. Prestigious dong, he misbehaved before Zain...Nadine took the Supit that was on top of the bowl.
Nadine doesn't know how to hold chopsticks. Since then he has tried flanking noodles but never succeeded, 1 time, 2 times, 3 times and so failed, fell again and fell again. Even Nadine used chopsticks with 2 hands but still failed.
"It's humiliating... Hiiiihhhh apes really from earlier. Udah sundel bolong back, uh now even looks like a village...Emaaakkkk I want to go home..." Nadine grumbled in her heart.
"That's enough, it's embarrassing. I can't stand it." An annoyed Nadine mixed with extreme shame in finally giving up. He pushed his bowl backwards.
"Wear this." Zain gave his spoon to Nadine.
"Not to thank. It's too late."
"It's been well, still protesting."
"Why not from that. Bummer."
"From nothing."
"That's a hell of a bitch."
"Too proud to make a hungry stomach." Zain.
"Who is proud." Nadine took the spoon in Zain's hand and began to devour his food. Zain pulled his lips slightly upwards.
Without Nadine realizing that Zain had noticed his ridiculous attitude, so Zain pretended to play his cellphone because Zain was entertained by Nadine's behavior that was considered funny. Zain began eating his food using Nadine's chopsticks.
