LOVE STRATA 1

CS1 Happy Daily (2)

Still in the shopping mall. Refreshing lightly by way of eye wash see the items sold there. Counting-counting, the activities of the day were a refresher of the mind after the exam.

Juno dyed, circulating his gaze in all directions. Juno occasionally showed an annoyed face. Juno's attitude like that provoked Ken's reaction to get close.

“Jun. So close to face,” Ken said as he poked Juno with the hat he was going to buy.

“Aws. Ken likes to imbukin me. Later if my fans know can be hunted, you know.” Juno PeDe prides himself.

“Iya believes who finished as head of the maba committee (new students). Many fans become your PeDean, yes!” exclaims Ken while pinching Juno's head.

Juno grinned while holding back her laughter. Ken said Juno was right. Since Juno became the chairman of the welcoming of new students at that time, many idolized him on campus. However, Juno's heart could not be separated from Anjani at all.

“Who to look for, anyway?” asked Ken again, as Juno again circulated her eyes.

“Ya find who else, Mas.” Juno said casually while still circulating a glance.

“Alenna?” guess Ken. “Tuh, just join Meli, Diamond, and Vina.” Ken pointed to the trinkets section for the hijab. There's Alenna, Diamond, Meli, and Vina over there.

Juno glanced at the direction Ken pointed at. A moment later Juno crossed her arms and threw her gaze to the other side.

“I'm looking for Anjani,” says Juno flat.

Ken already considered Juno as his own brother. Ken was no longer surprised or surprised when Juno alluded to Anjani's name.

Ken patted Juno on the shoulder. “Please choose hoodie, yuk!” take Ken then.

Ken deliberately distracts Juno from looking for Anjani. Ken knows that Anjani must be with Mario. They were the only ones who were separated at the time.

“OK, again. I also want to buy one for my father in the village. Let couple father and son.” Juno sumringah while remembering her father in the village.

“Let’s go!” exclaim Ken excited. He managed to distract Juno.

“Dika! Cepetan follow!” Juno took the time to invite Dika.

“OK. Yuk!” Dika put down the hat he saw, then tailed behind Ken and Juno.

Ken, Juno, and Dika went to the row of hoodies. Diamond realized the departure of his three friends. Diamond knew, because from the beginning he was secretly stealing glances at Ken.

“We don't want to follow them?” ask the diamond to his friends.

“No, ah! I thought it was a stalker. Mending we look around the game,” advice Vina.

“Yuk-yuk-yuk!” Alenna was enthusiastic about Vina's suggestion.

Diamond looked disappointed at not being able to follow Ken. However, Diamond respected the invitation of his friends. However, his life is not just about love. There is also a friendship that he must keep.

“OK, again. Yuk!” Diamond finally agreed.

Diamond was just about to step up to Vina and Alenna. However, his steps stopped when he saw Meli was still cool to see a smartphone while smiling alone.

“Message from whom until such smiles, hm?” tanya Berlian while trying to peek at the screen of the smartphone Meli.

Meli quickly hid her smartphone, then made an adorable expression on her face. Meli refused to show it to Diamond.

“I kepo, here. Who made you smile?” Diamond took a standing position on the other side in order to peek at Meli's smartphone, but still failed.

“Eits. Ra-ha-si-a's chat. Yes, I followed Vina with Alenna!” Meli instead left the Diamond and quickly followed Vina and Alenna.

“Astaghfirullah. I was even left behind. That message must be from your hero in Jogja, right?” Diamond cried but ignored by Meli.

“Meli. Waita!” Diamond then rushed following Meli's steps.

On the other side of the shopping mall. Anjani and Mario look cheerful, walking hand in hand while passing through the shelves that display shoes.

Anjani quickly remembered at the beginning of his encounter with Mario first. Anjani once thought that Mario was a shoe salesman. Mario is actually the son of the owner of the shoe factory. Remembering her past made Anjani smile. He wanted to laugh, but he could stand it.

“Why, Anjani?” ask Mario while walking.

“Ehm. Among the shoes that are here is there a product from your company?” tanya Anjani prank.

Mario nodded, and explained. “There. That's the one on the right side. In the main part that is on display as well. Then that's right there, and ..”

“Oke-okay. Um, what game is this?” ask Anjani later.

“At there. Follow me!” Mario smiled as he pointed his place.

Anjani follows Mario. The handsome figure of dashing pus that was currently walking in front of him was a figure whose name still filled part of his heart space. Anjani smiled as she suddenly felt a melodious thump in her heart.

Suddenly Mario turned his head and caught Anjani's smile. Anjani's steps must stop suddenly.

"Why smile for yourself?" mario asked, half holding back his laughter.

"No, really." Anjani. "Where is the game. Ah, that one is!" point Anjani at one of the doll's clipping machines.

Anjani passes Mario who is still standing while smiling to pay attention. Anjani quickly stood in front of one of the doll clipping machines.

"Is this what we want to play?" Anjani steady guess.

Mario further developed his smile, then stepped closer. "Yes. Here goes! Want to play this?" ask Mario.

"Who's afraid. Come on!" Anjani looks the most enthusiastic. "Eh, Mario. We bought a stuffed cow. Did you have to play this to get another doll?" Just like Anjani thinks like that.

Mario shrugged his shoulders. "No problem. The important thing is that we are both happy" said Mario with a maximum smile.

"We're both?" lirih Anjani, but Mario can still hear it.

"Yes, we both. The one who wants to play this is you're the same as me." Mario.

"Hehe. Yes also. Should we call the others to play this too?" Anjani asks Mario for his approval.

"cn .... I don't think it's necessary!" Mario steady talking.

Enough us. Only us. You and me. Just both. Inner Mario.

Anjani nodded then smiled in agreement. Anjani wants to try to play the doll's clamp machine. Even Anjani volunteered to try it first.

Mario quickly inserted a coin in the clamp machine. The coin he had just obtained from the guards there. Like allowing the princess, Mario bowed while making a hand gesture to let Anjani play a doll clipping machine.

"Hehe. What are you doing, anyway?" ask Anjani.

"It's welcome, Princess Anjani," said Mario, smiling.

"Bismillaahirrahmaanirrahiimbali. Left, keep left, and .... Yee, I got it! Alhamdulillaah," Anjani cheers.

Mario blinks fast. He did not expect Anjani could master the machine in a short time. Mario's heart, he and Anjani can linger playing the game, because Mario thinks it will be difficult to reach the targeted doll. In fact, in just a few seconds Anjani can reach the doll he was after.

"Cow doll. Um, gemes!" exciting Anjani.

"This I took. Make a collection at home" said Mario while seizing a stuffed cow from Anjani's hands.

"Eh? A collection? Since when do you like to collect dolls? Hehe." Anjani. He did not believe at all that Mario had a collection of dolls.

"Ep. I mean, get Alenna. Let it be embraced at night." Mario is looking for a reason.

"Helped? So since when does Alenna like dolls. I don't think Alenna likes it." Anjani recalls by maintaining a smile on her face.

"Lately liked dolls. So, I took this doll. Now, let me get you one doll" said Mario.

It was Mario's turn to get ready to play. Mario makes small warm-up moves. He plays his fingers, then turns his head around. The deep breath was not spared by him either.

While holding a stuffed cow and some of Mario's groceries, Anjani chuckles. Mario was funny at the time.

"Spirit!" Anjani gives encouragement.

"Anjani, which doll do you want?" ask Mario before moving the lever of his claw machine.

"Cow doll," Anjani replied steadily as she stared fixedly at the stuffed cow in a claw machine.

"wait. You already have one," said Mario, stop playing the lever and switch to see Anjani.

"Let her cow doll have a cow doll companion" replied Anjani innocently.

Mario raised his eyebrows. Dehem also skated later. Mario was anxious as Anjani said innocently like back then.

"alright. The cow doll," said Mario, refocused and began to hold the lever of the claw machine.

One, two, three lever moves and Mario's first attempt failed. Quickly Mario inserted one more coin. Mario again pointed the lever at the stuffed cow. Fine movements are performed, and .. fails.

"Aah!" Mario held his head. He could not believe that he had failed twice.

"Are you giving up?" ask Anjani.

"No will! Okay, try again!" mario, and this time it looks serious.

"Spirit!" exclaim Anjani cheering Mario.

Just now the word 'spirit' was finished being spoken, and Mario again failed.

"Ep. It doesn't have to be a cow doll. The other dolls are funny too. That stuffed bear, frog, or caterpillar is funny too." Anjani suggests that Mario not focus on the doll he wants.

"can't. Cow doll!" firmly Mario while re-inserting coins on the doll clamp machine.

Anjani can't prevent Mario. In his heart, Anjani continued to pray that Mario could reach the cow doll he wanted. However, Mario still failed, failed, and failed. Some little kids who happened to pass by there even laughed at Mario.

"Hihi," Anjani laughed, and could not be held back.

"Anjani, are you laughing at me too?" mario asked, shaking his waist while smiling at Anjani.

Anjani quickly shook his head. "Do you want me to play that?" Anjani offered herself.

"Dude! I can!" Mario is back to focusing on the claw machine.

One coin was immediately inserted into the claw machine. Mario is fully concentrated. The cow doll in the machine became his target. One ... two .. and ... FLOPPED.

"Yeah! Looks like this machine is broken" Mario protested.

"Mario. Let me try it one more time, will you?" Anjani.

"No! That cow doll I should have gotten. Anjani, you just stand there, and encourage me. Don't smile! I'm afraid I'm not focused. One more, a little backwards!" mario's orders to Anjani.

"Retreat?" Anjani retreated a few steps away from the engine. "Like this?" ask Anjani.

"good. Shut up there! Don't smile, and hold your breath!" Mario's orders.

Although it sounds strange, Anjani obeyed him, except for the breathproof part.

Mario refocused on the cow doll he was after. The lever is in the hand.

"Read basmallah first, Mario." Anjani.

"Bismillaahirrahmaanirrahiim" said Mario steady.

The lever started to move. Slowly, the claw machine moved towards the stuffed cow Anjani wanted. Mario makes a subtle move towards the stuffed cow.

"A little to the left, and get it!" exciting Mario. "Well! The soy sauce is even a duck doll!" Mario really can't believe it.

"It's okay! Get it, Mario!" exciting Anjani.

Mario nodded, and finally managed to get a duck doll from the claw machine.

"Alhamdulillaahafemore. It finally succeeded after a full struggle," said Anjani as he walked cheerfully closer to Mario.

"Well, duckies. Same with cows, yeah." Mario pretended to give a message to the duck to accompany the cow. "This is for you, Anjani." Mario hands the duck doll to Anjani.

"Thank you, Mario. The cow lord must be happy to make friends. Ohya, here!" Anjani hands over Mario's smartphone that was deposited with him.

"Hm?" Mario receives his smartphone and immediately looks at the screen.

"It was a lot of noise just now" Anjani said.

"You recorded my cool act, huh?" With his Pedenya Mario said that.

"That's fine. The footage I've shared with friends as well, and soon they'll be here" Anjani explained with a smile.

"What?" exclaim Mario, surprise.
