"parents' prayers, especially mothers, are powerful, son, it is proven that now you can work in Indonesia because it is fluent in Indonesian" said the mother.
After finishing eating together dira also say goodbye to the mother to invite akira around jogja,, because this is their last day in Jogja and Akira wants to buy some hands for his father and best friend in Japan. Their goal is now the Bringharjo market.
"what do you think is appropriate? " aqua asked back
"batik maybe, yes batik you can give your father batik clothes because batik is typical of Indonesia" their advice "and for your friends you can also buy batik as well"
"fine choose me batik for them and for me too, hmm and for my best friend I think the same size as your body" said Akira. Hearing the words of Akira about his best friend who thought a man was wrong, somehow made him feel bad.
"why did you? " tanya akira who saw her experience changed
"oh, what's wrong, I thought your best friend was a man? " tanya dira flatly covered her dislike
"she's a woman named naomi, she's my neighbor's flat she's her guy like you're cheerful and chatty, I'm a miss with her" said Akira because he really misses his neighbor who he always bothered to be lucky there are now who are a little more entertaining when in Indonesia.
Dira who heard Akira say the word "Kangen" to his best friend was somehow his heart grew disliked, and he tried to shake off all those feelings, and he was busy choosing batik for them,,, and he was busy choosing batik for them,, batik couple shirt but different colors for akira and his father, batik dress for naomi do not forget some beautiful bracelet accessories for him. After finishing shopping at the brandharjo market, he took Akira to the ice cream and gelato shop that is quite famous in Jogja.
Now they have arrived at Artemy, Italian Gelato & Ice Cream, a cafe that serves as the name suggests gelato and ice cream, etc,, also various other variants of processed ice cream such as crepes or pancakes are served with one or two scoop of ice cream that can be chosen for its own taste. Dira is very fond of this place, especially ice cream and gelato sold here he always took the time to visit the place every time he returned to Jogja.
Dira chose a table at the far corner of the place that was a little quiet and very cozy. Then he ordered chocolate ice cream for topping crepes that he ordered. While Akira chose pancakes with strawberry-flavored ice cream topping on it. They remained silent until the waiter served their order.
"knew can I ask you something? " said hesitantly after the waitress left their table.
"sure, what do you want to ask yourself??" ask akira. Seeing her still silent makes Akira again ask "I know what you are thinking, I know you are a very curious person like you and Arshaka right?? I'll tell you not to be curious, naomi is just a friend to me no more" said Akira as if he would know what the girl in front of him was thinking.
Deg, he didn't think I knew what he wanted to ask, he just kept silent no matter what, no, no, no,, he turned his brain to ask something so that Akira thought what he said was true that he would ask. "mommy.that's not what I would ask akira,, I don't care if naomi was ready for you" lied to her
"so what do you want to ask? " ask akira, he did not want to urge the girl to admit that her words were right, enough for her to know how she was
"mmm.. I can't go home with you tomorrow morning" Dira said
"why dira? " tanyanya
Dira also sighed and then he blushed his lips with both hands on the table to his head. "there is my claen that is in semarang,, he asked me to meet him to discuss the design of clothes that will be worn by his extended family, because the large family of the woman is a semarang" he said
"so I go home by myself, alright" replied Akira after hearing her excuses. Actually, he wanted to ask Akira to accompany him to semarang and go home together to Jakarta later, but he could not say it because he knew that akira's work must be very much.
The last day of akira in Jogja they fill by walking around the hotel and malioboro road do not forget the night he fulfilled his promise first when he first met with akira where he would take him to a angkringan is quite famous for its joss coffee menu, where coffee is served with charcoal in it, they both spent their last night.
