Arriving at the cafeteria, Vania approached David who had been waving his hands since Vania entered the canteen area.
"a long time ago?" asked Vania while sitting on the bench next to David.
"none of them, maya really be a permit?"
"yes, he's sick she said"
"want you? if so, we'll go with it"
"may" replied Vania with a smile.
Devan was amazed by Vania's smile. The girl always caught his attention.
"i ordered you to eat first. I'm the one who treats you" said David, who Vania embraced with a smile.
*****
After returning home from work, Vania and David go to visit Maya together as promised. They got into David's car.
After returning from there, David drove Vania home. But in the middle of the road he invites Vania to stop by a cafe for dinner first.
During dinner, David keeps more quiet and watches Vania while enjoying her meal.
After finishing eating, Vania also invited David to go home so as not to stay overnight. But David kept him.
"i want to say something to you" David said with a serious face.
"don't be so serious, I'm afraid to know" seduced Vania with a small laugh.
"i'm seriously Van"
Vania undoes her intention to stand up from her seat and look at the man before her. The seriousness of the man made him wonder inwardly.
"what?"ask Vania curious.
"Van, I'm sorry if I'm so presumptuous to say this to you. But I can't lie to my own feelings. After so many days we often met and even greeted each other through messages, I only realized that I like you" said David looking at Vania with a soft gaze.
don't joke you Vid, not funny to know" Vania replied with a chuckle.
"Van, I'm serious" David said with great emphasis. But his tone was so soft.
Vania could not answer what David said. He did not think about that man. This is not what he expected. He does not want his friendship to be destroyed just because of love.
"Van, why are you quiet?" david asked because Vania didn't respond.
"nothing" said Vania.
"do you feel the same way as me?"
Vania is silent again. He hesitated to answer. He just didn't want to hurt the feelings of a man who was already so kind to him.
"it's fine that if you can't answer it yet, I can understand and I'll wait for him. Yes let's go home" David said with a wry smile. He stood up from his seat to take Vania home.
During the trip there was no chatter in the car. Vania felt awkward and uncomfortable with the new situation. He just silently threw his eyes out the window. Likewise with David, the man seemed hesitant to just mince words with the woman next to him.
"thank you very much, yes" said Vania softly when the car they were riding in had reached the gate of Vania's house.
David nodded with his smile.
"Van.." call David make the name owner stop.
"yes" he answered, looking over.
"rest, beautiful dream"
"yes, thank you" she replied with a smile.
Without waiting for David to leave, Vania passes through the gate of her house which happens to be unlocked.
A feeling of confusion and unease enveloped his heart. He was confused as to what if he met David in the office tomorrow and the man asked for an answer tomorrow. I don't know, he'll think about it tomorrow.
Vania enters the house and greets her mother who is chatting in the living room.
"we just got home, baby" asked my mom
"iya ma, had stopped by to eat first out of Maya's house" replied Vania while kissing her parents' hands.
Vania enters her room. He put his bag on the nightstand and prepared to clean himself. Finished with the activity. He sat on his back on the back of his bed. He reached into his cell phone that was in the bag. Opening the screen lock, there was one message from David. The man said "good night, have a nice dream" which was imbued with smile emoticons.
Vania replies to the message by typing "thanks".
He sighed softly and placed his phone on his chest. His mind turned to the figure of a man who was no longer close to him. Despite having been in the same office for three months, Vania rarely met the man.
Devan, a mysterious figure to him that now fills his brain.
Vania looked back at her phone screen. He opened Devan's whatsapp story. I hope the man perpetuates his activities. But unfortunately not. For almost a week the man did not send a story.
Vania ventured into opening her chat room with Devan. The man is online.
Vania ventured into typing a message. But he had not been able to send, the message was deleted again. He typed and deleted the message up to three times out of hesitation. Eventually he was desperate and cancelled his intentions. He put his phone back on his chest.
In an instant, his phone suddenly rang. Vania raised her phone and looked at him. The call was from the man he had been waiting for, Devan.
Vania smiled with excitement, she quickly raised the voice call and placed the phone in her ear.
"hallo assalamualaikum"
"waalaikumsalam.. hasn't slept?"
"not yet brother"
"why delete messages that have not been sent?"
"uh uh? it...it was wrong chat brother, was about to send a message to Nadya but wrong to sister" said Vania nervously looking for an excuse.
"so yes. yes already fast sleep.already night,, not good for health"
"yes, sister, assalamualaikum" said Vania.
"waalaikumsalam"
Devan decides his call makes Vania a little disappointed because she is not satisfied chatting with him.
"why just jerk doank anyway.y already at least have heard his voice" he said while staring at the profile photo of the man who had called him.
Vania unceasingly smiled after hearing Devan's voice. The voice behind the phone led her to sleep in a dream. He hopes tonight will be the beginning of his closeness with the man who has been away for the past three months.
