Love Note
_note one_section eighth
Almost five days after James saw Helen cry. After that he never met Helen at all, either on campus or in a cafe. Completely disappeared from James' life, his status: MIA–Missing In Action.
Today was starting to afternoon but James had not seen Helen appear, but he continued to hope before his shift ended he could meet with Helen.
”Why lemes?” Iton asked as he approached James with a dirty glass.
”Nggak” replied James then who was washing dirty glasses and cups.
”Helen right? Already do not pretend” Iton guess.
James just smiled a little.
”Denger-denger it to singapore or malaysia gitu” said Iton later.
”Masa? Whynot? Same who?” James suddenly asked Iton a question.
”Hey, hey, I'm not the father. Calm down, dong. To be honest, I was just horrors so do not know the real or wrong” explained Iton later.
”Sorry” says James a little shy.
”Quiet as soon as I he just vacation and not move forever there” explained Iton while going ahead again.
Does that have anything to do with when Helen cried yesterday? Thought James. He knew nothing about Helen.
”Jan!” Suddenly Iton ran in a hurry towards James.
”Why are you running around rich which is so bad?” James asked as he watched Iton run out of breath.
”Tuh ahead. Pujaan mu” said Iton who triggered the spontaneous movement James ran forward.
See Helen with her 2 friends as usual, do not see sadness and tears, a figure that is used to see in the eyes of James. Helen who looked cheerful, always cheerful full of smiles and laughter.
Immediately James stood behind the counter, waiting for Helen to approach him to order. Seen 2 friends laughing while staring at James. James knew they were talking about him.
”Moccalate two” one of Helen's friends told James.
”As usual” this time Helen interrupts, she won't even look at James.
”Two Moccalate, one Vanilla Blended. Waiting for a moment yes, later ushered” said James.
”He even knows your favorite drink, Len” said Helen's friend who had ordered while walking to their table.
”It works here, so you have to know it” said Helen with a little ketus.
”Don't be too happy, you can-can scare the tiger” saut Iton with a small grapevine while on the way.
Zabrina looked at James who was eagerly ushering in Helen and her friends' orders to the table, looking like a child who had just received a birthday present for the first time. So radiant.
Inwardly, Zabrina felt a little envious. Not Helen but James.
”Why Zab?’ Iton suddenly asked disperse the reverie of Zabrina.
”Hm?” Zabrina turned to look invisible changes in the look of his face even though he was surprised ”That's James” again he replied later.
”Why?” Ask Iton again.
”Ha-ha” spontaneous Iton laughs at Zabrina's words just now ”That's what I like and hate about you Zab, you if you talk ga use pleasantries” he said again.
Zabrina looked at Iton in confusion.
While James has begun to be bullied by friends Helen.
”Kalo look around lo tu cakep” said one of Helen's friends with five earrings in the ear.
”Ber also” his other friend mengjeltuk while observing James's face carefully.
James just smiled ”ada can I help you again?” Say it with questions.
”Why not try to be a model? Kan quite that, look you must have entered” the earrings five earlier said again ignoring the question James just ”From being a waiter cafe”
”Bener, Lia has a connection to model agent gitu” said the other added to the speech of her friend named Lia earlier.
”Thank you” replied James kindly and politely ”Well me excuse me first”.
”Wah, offered a more even rejected” said Lia ”ga nyukurin berkah lo”
”Sorry, not so I mean” James replied still politely.
”Ya already so me” close Lia then.
”Try if you become famous, you can be more deket same Helen” chirps another ”ya ga?”
”Indie! What the hell lo?!” Sergey Helen was spontaneous.
”Loh right, at least it's not shy to bring a street artist, right?” Add Indie again.
Friend Helen Lia–who fought five earlier–lifted both thumbs up ”Lo likes the same Helen right?” Ask James later.
James smiled and then passed. While Helen's two friends were crispy once laughed. It was also seen that Iton laughed restrainedly walking towards him with a few glasses in a tray on his handle.
Iton still kept a smile holding back laughter as he got close to James and Helen's desk. Unconcentrated, his feet tripped over the legs of a chair near him. Unable to maintain his balance, Iton fell.
Seeing this, James immediately ran towards Iton, not because of his friend, but the glass that Iton had held was thrown towards Helen. James swiftly grabbed Helen's hand, pulling her forward until Helen's entire body lowered and spared the glass that was pointed at her head.
And prang!!!
For a moment everything was silent after the sound of the glass slamming. Helen's speechless. He looked surprised, until then realized his right hand was still in James's grasp. Then immediately he pulled it, stood up, then slapped James in the face.
James was silent about receiving Helen's slap just now, he was still unequivocal.
”Let's go” said Helen took her friends away.
”Jan?!” Iton hurriedly approached James as soon as he was back on his feet.
”I take that as a thank you” replied James then ”say, is now my face red?” Ask him then to Iton.
Trying desperately to hold back the laughter Iton said ”Definitely hurt more than his slap huh?”
