Melodia Rain

29. CAFES

The eagle smiled at Lea sitting on the terrace of the mosque after praying. He immediately threw his butt next to Lea, put on his shoes and tied the rope nicely.

Joining the congregation prayer once has made the Eagle moved and feel like a good person. When berTO’a together, he shed tears.

“We get food first?” Lea stood up followed by the Eagle, the man nodded steadily.

As they began to step up, the Eagle hesitatedly reached out a hand clasping Lea's cold palm. The girl was surprised to feel the sweaty hand of the Eagle guiding her hand. But he kept following the steps of the Eagle.

The eagle did not directly bring Lea to the parking lot, but took the girl around the shops around Sukaregang area. Most shops are sellers of processed Garut Lamb skin. Such as bags, leather shoes, or jackets.

“Eh, em... lo likes ice cream right?” The eagle stopped its steps, appearing to be worried as it spoke. Realize if they are very awkward when the palms are interlocked like that.

“Kok know?” Lea was relieved after some time drowning in silence, The Eagle finally opened his voice. He saw the eagle smiling.

“Before the cave wanted to say, because you have cooled my heart. But spare a day ah.”

Instantly Lea chuckles, “Terus?”

Eagle pointed to a Cafe not far from the Musical Instrument Shop, “Mampir there, the ice cream tofu cave there is really good.”

Lea squinted at the cafe at the end of the road, as far as she knew it was a cafe that was open twenty-four hours. People said the place will be very crowded at midnight. But Lea didn't know for sure whether the rumors were true or not. Ah, he's been hearing more gossip lately.

“Bby.” Lea had only one answer when invited by the Eagle.

Just as they set foot in the Cafe, a waiter came up to the Eagle and greeted him, “Lho? Mas Eagle tumben alone? Usually the same Mas Tri and others.”

“Two, San.” point Eagle at Lea standing behind.

The waiter with Hasan's name looked at Leah as he raised his eyebrows. He considered Lea's appearance to be too simple, was amazed because she was the first girl the Eagle brought there.

Feeling noticed, Lea immediately turned her face the other way, pretending to observe the interior of the Cafe. It's obviously interesting.

“You seem to have a lot of acquaintances.” whispered Lea was more close to the Eagle.

Hasan escorted Lea and the Eagle to a table in the corner of the room. A bit lonely, but close to the glass wall that faces directly to the Highway. The place was always devoted to the Eagle et al.

Unasked Hasan put a pack of cigarettes on the table. Lea was astonished by the cigarette that was placed. The eagle cleared his throat for a moment, slowly pushing the man's cigarette slightly away from him.

“Mas, we have new products, I'm sure Mas will like. Want say..”

“We ordered two ice creams. One chocolate and one strawberry.” cut Eagle fast.

Hasan was somewhat stunned to hear the Eagle's order which he thought was too strange. Not as usual. He even had to get the elang elbow in the stomach because it never recorded the order.

Trying to understand the situation of the loyal customer, Hasan rushed to record the order on a note and stepped quickly to the back.

“Looks like you're a customer of this Cafe.” guess Lea.

“Yah's... The same cave as others often hang out here.” replied Eagle. Both are silent again. Enjoy the view of each.

The eagle was busy staring behind the window, watching everything that was going on out there. Enjoy the atmosphere of Garut City at night.

While Lea was engrossed in observing the interior of the cafe, carvings made of wood were emblazoned artistically with dim shades. Romantically. Lea got carried away, suddenly felt like dating on FTV.

“Great nights aren't you?” lea's question made the Eagle turn his head, “I love the night, because there is always hope to meet the sun.”

“Agree.” Hawk finger-picking, “But the cave prefers when the same lo. Whenever it is.”

“Please.” Hasan delivered the order before their chat continued, returning the focus of the two to the cold treat of the night. The eagle pushes the chocolate ice cream in front of Lea.

“Favorite lo.”

“You know?” Lea's surprised.

“Need cave exit gombalan dimeh?” kekeh Eagle. Lea laughed as she shook her head.

The two then began to taste ice cream, delicious and fresh. The sweet taste in the dish was really fitting. Suddenly the Eagle stared at Lea full of guilt, “This is already malem, should be the cave pesenin lo anget. Not ice cream.”

“Ah no problem, I like kok.” Lea continued to scoop the ice in front of her voraciously.

“Cave is afraid you are sick again.” The eagle thrust a tissue and gave the code that Lea's lips were blown away. The girl clenched her lips, then shook her head and went back to eating ice cream.

The eagle shrugged both shoulders, calling Hasan to serve Sweet Martabak and Surabi as ice cream escorts in Lea's stomach.

Although he was anxious but if Lea liked anything else. If Lea was sick, he would be able to go back and forth to Lea's house by reason of visiting. Hm take a chance in constriction, “BTW, lo single child?”

Lea nodded, “Ya, after Kang Anggara died.”

The girl stopped eating. Bowing for a moment, his shoulders sagged as if he had just witnessed several bad events simultaneously.

Looking at Lea's gelagat, the Eagle tried to distract. Change questions about light things.

Like how Dira and Hana, the girl's daily attitude, hobbies, and habits about Leah who likes to report all kinds of things to Sarah and Vinda. Lea continued to answer all the Eagle questions honestly and openly.

“When I dirty your pants during the picket, I was so afraid to be the first girl you hit.”

“Jeez Kiandra, it's not a serious thing, the cave even forgot. At any time the cave wants to say ‘gak problems’ only yes cave confused how to say when we have not been this short.” I'm Eagle.

Lea nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. Really, he sometimes still thinks about the Eagle's punch.

“You are not angry, am I often told about you with SarWin? Relax, we do not talk bad about you kok.” said Lea put a large piece of martabak into the mouth.

Lying, he actually did more bad-mouthing Eagle when with his two friends. Thankful that man just shrugged his shoulders.

“I've had a lot of stories, it's your turn.” pinta Lea.

“Gua Erlangga Permana.”

“Your brother? Your family?”

“Gua Erlangga Permana aka Eagle. Simply you know it.” The eagle then closed his lips tightly, he could not be forced.

Making Lea have to turn the brain to look for chatter material, otherwise they will re-enter in the maelstrom of silence, awkward, and stiff.

“What would Desi not be angry if she knew you were with me?” lea asked, Eagle frowned, “He's your girlfriend.

“Lo mostly denger gossip huh? He's a cousin to the cave. After his parents died, he lived in the same cave. If you say we are twins, it makes more sense.” The eagle pointed the martabak knife at Leah's face,

“Lo forgot the nickname jomblo timeless cave? Or are you now jealous?”

“Not.” to Lea.

The two went back to finishing their food. Lea was eager to chat again, but the temperamental man was talking.

Because the Eagle's attitude likes to suddenly change, so who knows if a second later he will return to be the Eagle rude and angry.

“ I'm surprised you like the taste of strawberries. Pingky boy!” Lea pointed at the Eagle ice cream bowl.

“Recently aja.” Eagle takes Lea's chat bait.

“Karena?”

“Persis like body odor lo.” replied Flat eagle, the more greedy eat ice cream.

Leah immediately choked, now she did not want to hear anything more from the lips of the Eagle which would only make her mind chaotic and misunderstood.

Lea's food is still a lot, while the Eagle's meal since then has run out. Lea looked at the restless Eagle while occasionally looking at the cigarette pack that had been perched in the middle of the table.

“I am understanding. If you want to smoke, please. It's okay, really.” said Lea suddenly. The eagle looked at Lea with an embarrassed look, but he could no longer help himself.

“Shortly a minute.” The eagle grabbed the cigarette and rushed out.

Lea continued to look at him, seeing the Eagle smoking a cigarette on the terrace of the Cafe by trying to position himself against Lea. Just a few puffs, the Eagle threw out the cigarette and returned to the table where Lea was sitting.

“Gua does not often smoke, today alone suddenly want.” lied Eagle, a little noisy when saying it.

“Good dong! Smoking is not good, I have not smoked since young until now. You saw it, right? He is still very healthy.” exclaimed Lea. Eagle nodded.

“Oh yes, why do you call me Kiandra?”

“Can it's name lo.”

“Yes, but rather amused. I'm more used to being called lea.”

“Lea belongs to everyone, if it's more it must belong to Eagle.”

Lea was throbbing, since when did a cold-faced Eagle become a cardboard man?

Their conversation continues. Lea drove a chat about the Marching Band.

The eagle occasionally wiped the sweat on his face when Lea accidentally saw Ikmal and some of his friends passing by.

The more tense when Lea told him she hated the motorcycle gang that ever disturbed her. The eagle must carefully guard the speech, so that he does not slip when he says that he is part of them.

“It's almost eight o'clock, it's okay if we stop by the Hospital?” The eagles looked back at the watch as they exited the cafe.

“Continue Arief?” Lea was suddenly enthusiastic. Eagle nodded, “Come, I also miss him a lot.”

“Sure, a competition must be fair. Loves not to like, he is a heavy rival cave.” The eagle again led Lea to the parking lot of the Musical Instrument Shop.

“In terms?” the girl always needs an extra fight every time she tries to sit on the Eagle motorcycle seat.

“Everything.” The eagle started the motor.

Especially getting the heart of a Kiandra Azalea.
