“Uhuk! Uhuk!” Ella coughed as she stared at the computer screen. His breath feels so tight. The noise from the music, deafening his ears.
“Nih, drink first. Are you really okay?” ask Daniel to worry. The young man had changed into a plain black shirt. Her hair was randomly combed. The picture has changed a lot compared to school. Well, simple language, he looks more handsome.
“I'm okay, really. It's because I tried for the first time. But over time must be accustomed,” said Ella while receiving mineral water provided by Daniel.
“Actually from the beginning I did not allow them to smoke in the computer booth. Because those who use this cafe are not only adults, but also school children who make assignments,” said Daniel.
Yes, this is where Daniel brought Ella to work. At an internet cafe, which is managed by Daniel himself. Ella works as a cashier and keeps the printer machine, replacing the previous cashier who resigned. The work is quite simple, but the salary is quite large, which is thirty thousand per day. If multiplied by the number of days in a month, the amount will be more than the pocket money so far.
“You know, don't you? It's the first time I've asked a girl to work here,” Daniel said proudly.
“Ah, time?” cycad Ella.
“Iya, really. Because this place is always full of guys who play games, so I also hire guys here as cashiers and operators. I used to keep a cousin here, but only three days. It was not paid, ” Daniel's story.
Ella smiled listening to Daniel's story. Lara in her heart was slightly healed after conversing with the man. This may be the first time Ella has had casual conversations with guys outside of school, other than with Albert.
“This is also my first experience as a cashier. Uh, no. My first experience working,” Ella said honestly. “But maybe I can only work here from Monday to Saturday. Sunday I can't,” he continued.
“Because of your mother, yes?” ask Daniel. Ella nodded.
“Yes, it's okay. I-i understand. On Sundays, I have no activities, so I can keep the cafe,” said Daniel. “Oh yes, rather than waiting for the cashier table, would I show you something interesting, no?” ask Daniel.
“What the hell?” sahut Ella was curious.
“You must never play a game, right? I have one interesting game for you,” said the guy as he blinked his eyes.
“Yang right? I've never played a game, you know. So curious, nih,” said Ella.
The two teenagers became familiar in a short time. Ella who was originally a lot of pensive and sad, now can smile cheerfully again. Several times he and Daniel bet win the game.
“Seru really today. It turns out to play games as exciting as that, yes,” said Ella.
“I did not expect, it turns out you are a cool person. I think you've been just an exemplary kid who's just learning,” Daniel said.
“Ah, who said? Actually, I also want to have fun. But just don't have time. Because I have to help my mama,” Ella said. “It looks like this is the first time I played with a boy friend, deh,” continued Ella while remembering.
“Eh? What do you mean?” ask Ella.
“You may not know, I often notice you in the cafeteria. And these few days you look very lethargic. Especially since the guy came to school,” Daniel said.
Ella exhaled violently. “Got a look, huh? You who are not the same class I can only know,” said Ella.
“You're a cheerful boy, La. So if you suddenly become moody and quiet, there must be a reason,” said Daniel. “I won't ask who that guy is. I don't want to disturb your privacy. But he's not a debt collector, is he? You work here like to avoid him, deh?” guess the young man.
“Hahaha, where did you hear that from?” Ella laughed out loud. “Ya is definitely not. Why did my debt collector come to school?” continued the brownish black-haired teenager.
“I didn't overhear when you were chatting with Melda this morning,” Daniel said.
“Daniel, you know not?” ask Ella. The teenager threw his gaze out, staring at the blue sky shrouded in white clouds.
“I am not a shaman who can guess the contents of your heart, La,” Daniel said with a small laugh.
“Today I'm really happy. Not only because they get a job, but also get new friends. I've seen you play in my class a lot, but before we never greeted each other, right?” said Ella. “My feelings are also much calmer, having confided in you. Maybe after this, I should be stronger to face reality,” said the girl.
“So from now on we are friends, right?” Daniel held out his right hand.
“Sure,” says Ella while shaking Daniel's hand.
“Oh yes, this is your salary.” Daniel handed Ella some money.
“Loh, how direct payday?”
“Special for the first day only. I don't want to see you come home on foot,” Daniel said. “For the next your salary I'll give you once a week.”
“Wah, really?” A smile spread across Ella's face. He accepted the money happily. “Ah, but .. After this I have to go home.” Ella's feelings suddenly became troubled again.
"Oh yes, La. I'd like to apologize, too. Actually I brought you here because I wanted to use you," Daniel said honestly.
"You mean?" ask Ella.
