"Hey! Dice! Ratna!" I shouted spontaneously.
Dice and Ratna turned their heads, as if they did not believe my presence.
"Zanu?!!" they screamed in astonishment.
The three of us hugged and jumped, so excited. The two men who followed them were just dumbstruck. And everyone in the cafe is watching us.
We stay relaxed..
"How are you two? Why can we be together? Are the lectures the same?" many questions I asked.
"The one-on-one Zanu question," said Dice.
"Eh, who are they? Your boys?" I whispered in Dice's ear. Dice did not have time to answer, add another question.
"Oh Zanu, let me answer them one by one" whispered Dice.
I saw the four of them were confused, probably looking for a place.
"Already! Reply late. Yuk! Come with me, "take me while you pull Dice and Ratna's hands.
"Where are we taking it? It's already full of cafes" Ratna was more and more confused with me.
"Of course, follow. Bring those two friends of yours,"
Ratna coded the two male friends to follow them from behind. I walked first and directed them to a room with glass. I see Bram watching me from the inside.
Me and my friends came in. They were all astonished and shocked. Especially when I see Bram.
"Let's sit down, please" I offered the four of them.
Bram smiled at my friends. Thankfully, Bram was willing to smile and was not as flat as he usually was.
"Hey. I'm Bram. It's good to see you guys" Bram greets them one by one.
OMG! Bram introduced himself!.
Their response was fear, reluctance, wonder and groggy when Bram greeted them.
"You're Zanu's friends, huh? Friends from when?" ask Bram kindly.
Ratna nudged Dice's arm. Dice was looking at Bram. Ouch...! I am glad to see their behavior.
"Eh.., i, yes, we were both friends with Zanu from High School," Ratna explained nervously.
"Oh.. Old friend. Two more who? Is Zanu's friend too?" Bram glanced at the two men who were following Ratna and Dice.
"Mom.no, they're our friends on campus," Dice immediately kissed when asked about her male friend.
Ah, at least they're both dating. Like me and Bram.
"You haven't introduced yourself yet, don't hesitate, just relax,"
"I'm Dice, this is Ratna. That's Akel and Samsul," Dice tried to look rilex when she saw Bram.
I purposely let Bram talk to them first. So that Bram can adapt to my friends.
"Greetings to Akel and Samsul. I'm Zanu's friend Dice and Ratna. And this is my partner," I started talking while holding Bram's arm.
The four of them smiled. The atmosphere is still a little awkward. Not long after, came the employee carrying the tableware. Maybe Bram has told employees that there are additional guests in this room.
"Oiya, please order what to eat. I'm the same Zanu already," Bram gave two menu books to Dice and Ratna.
The four of them choose the menu to be ordered. Looks like my friend is still awkward and shy.
Was I wrong to bring Dice and Ratna here? Bram has welcomed them as much as possible.
After recording the order, they gave it to the employee who had been waiting.
"Sst... Zanu, let's go to the bathroom yuk," Dice whispered a code for me to leave this room.
"Come on," I nodded.
"Son, I went to the toilet with Dice and Ratna, first,"
"Yes, don't be long. The order will come" said Bram.
"OK,"
Me, Dice and Ratna rushed to the toilet, impatient to hear the story about the two of them.
"Zanu! That's a really cool guy! Meet me where? It's crazy...!" Dice is on her own. Not even to the toilet.
"Yes Zanu, we're both PD. Duh, I'm salting, it's hard to say!" Ratna did not lose her frenzy.
"Okay, can we not talk about this first? I'm very sorry about you two. Why is there no news after the school breakup?" I'm trying to shift the conversation, because I'm sure I won't be done discussing this. I want to know about both of them.
We have reached the toilet, instead of urinating, we continue to chat.
"We both studied at the State Faculty as well. I'm hanging out near campus. While Ratna house ortanya in the city of P, you already know," explained Dice.
"You kost where's Zanu? Your boyfriend why is he in that glass room? The feeling of never having a visitor book a place in the room," Ratna was curious. I also wonder why Bram could wear that place?
"I'm in a new market, just look there's a big fenced-in boarding house. Stop by my hostel sometime. I don't know why my girlfriend could occupy that glass room. I don't care, what's important is that I eat, hungry because,"
"Two boys were your girlfriends?" my many.
"Still PDKT with us-we, I want to be friends first. Don't know if Dice," Prita glanced at Dice.
"I was just there before I went to this cafe, he.he.he." replied Dice timidly.
"Do you not know?" ask Ratna.
"Lha, this is just telling you. The plan is now when we eat, but the hunt meets Zanu, crap, ha.ha.ha..,"
"By the way Zanu's girlfriend is one generation? Dice was still curious about Bram.
"He's my senior, but different majors. This month he wants graduation" I replied, turning on the water tap.
"Abis graduation, work, apply for you, he.he.he..," said Ratna.
"Here we go, we've got this conversation. Later you guys stop by my hostel, we can talk a lot. I'm hungry, I can't wait to eat" my stomach started to rumble.
"Look, we're out. Pity the boys are waiting for us" Ratna asked.
The three of us walked out of the toilet directly stepping into the glass room. Seen Bram talking.
Thank goodness they are no longer awkward.
"Sorry a little while to the toilet" I sat down near Bram.
"It's okay, the food hasn't come yet either" Bram replied casually.
"Oiya, what are you talking about? Asik's right," I asked.
"This, Akel and Samsul talked about PKL for next year. It just so happened that the materials they were looking for were in my place. I offered them at the bakery, if you are interested, you can go there immediately" Bram replied.
"Yes Zanu, we've both been planning a good PKL place. Good thing Abang Bram gave a reference that suits our majors both," Akel seriously explained.
"Later you both will tell me my name. I'll take a note there,"
"Thank you Bang" said Samsul and Akel.
Four employees came carrying trays containing six of our ordered meals. They arranged it neatly according to order. After everything is served, we all start eating. Occasionally accompanied by small talk about campus, lectures and majors.
Without realizing it, the atmosphere tonight mingled with each other. There was no more awkwardness and embarrassment in front of Bram.
Thank you for tonight Bram.
