Misplaced Taste
SURPRISE
Day by day, change. Raisa has also returned to her usual activities. She sometimes spends her free time tending to the garden in the backyard of the house with Bu Dewi and Oma Melani.
Today, Raisa left for school a little differently. If usually, he will be escorted by Devan, his brother. However, this time Raisa is escorted by a driver at her house.
Early in the morning, Devan was no longer home. Devan said that he had to follow the meeting to rebuild Isa Group.
"Rai," called Rasya as she saw Raisa walking in the school corridor.
Rasya ran a little towards Raisa who never stopped his way.
"What's wrong?" asked Raisa while walking.
"Let's go home together, yuk!" take Rasya while balancing Raisa's steps.
"Gua has been picked up by the driver" replied Raisa.
"Easy, just say it," said Rasya.
"Gua did not want to be angry with Brother Devan," said Raisa.
Devan always warns Raisa so that every go home and leave always waiting for an invitation. Given, that the status of Raisa is already known by many people. So, Devan is afraid that there is a danger that threatens the safety of his sister. Devan also hired several bodyguards to watch over his younger brother during his time outside and around the house.
"The permission cave to Kak Devan," said Rasya again.
Raisa stopped her steps. "What are you brave for?" raisa asked with a mocking smile.
"Dare dong," answered Rasya pinched Raisa's cheek anxiously.
Raisa glanced at Raisa with her death glance. "Babelle!" the upset.
"Where? Want, huh?" please Raisa with a tone full of pleadings.
"Later to the cave," answered Raisa again continued her steps towards her classroom.
"Yes!" pekik Rasia.
"Where did it work?" tanya Aldo approaches Rasya with Revan.
"Successful dong," answered Rasya happily.
"It's a good thing Mak Lampir didn't see it" Revan said.
"Lu both help the cave. Do not let Mak Lampir know the cave ngajak Raisa come home together. There will fail again" said Rasya.
"Big!" sahut Aldo and Revan compact.
...****************...
After school, Rasya was already waiting for Raisa in front of her class. Raisa, who was still chatting with her brother to ask for permission, immediately left the class.
"Yeah!" invite Rasya to take Raisa.
"Wait," prevent him from removing Rasya's hand checks.
Raisa was still typing some replies to the message for her brother.
Brother Devan.
"It's 15:30. You should be home at 17:00!" write Devan.
Raisa's.
"Ready, Brother. Before five, Raisa was home. Brother Devan take it easy," Raisa replied.
Brother Devan.
"Don't hold on to your words, yeah!" reply Devan again.

"OKAY. Thank you dear Devan sisterš¤," wrote Raisa.

"If you ever want to say baby," Devan said in a reply to his chat.
Raisa's.
"Hehehe. Yes, yes, Brother. Bye-bye," wrote Raisa ended a chat with her sister.
Brother Devan.
"Bye. Take care!"
Rasya waited for Raisa to finish chatting with her brother. Once done, Rasya immediately took Raisa to the school parking lot.
"Go home, right?" ask Raisa when she gets to the parking lot.
Rasya. "Street first time. It's a long time ago" answered Rasya.
"Where are we going?" raisa asked as Rasya put her helmet on.
"To the mall" answered Rasya.
"No way!" exciting Raisa.
Rasya scrunched his forehead. Why won't Raisa? Don't girls usually want to be invited to the mall?
"Why?" rasha asked confused by the reason Raisa.
"The cave is tired. The cave does not want if only around the mall or to the time zone. It's just tired" replied Raisa.
Rasya smiled at Raisa's words. He became anxious himself and pinched Raisa's nose.
"What about the city park?" ask Rasya.
"Just buy snacks and keep coming home," he added.
Raisa was silent thinking. Is it true to just buy snacks and keep coming home?
"The word of the city park people if the afternoon gini a lot of good food you know," explained Rasya.
"Okay," said Raisa.
"But straight home, yes," said Raisa.
"Ready."
Rasya's motorbike began to run through the streets of the Capital City. Raisa looked happy when she saw the crowded city in the afternoon. He rarely enjoys the beautiful atmosphere in the afternoon.
Arriving at the city park, Rasya immediately pulled Raisa to start trying some of the food sold there.
Starting from cilor, siomay, egg rolls, moonlight cakes and the last is cotton sugar.
"Nih," said Rasya giving sugar cotton in the form of cartoon characters to Raisa.
"Thank you" said Raisa gladly.
Rasya unceasingly put on a smile when he saw how Raisa greedily ate that Hello Kitty-shaped cotton sugar.
"Funny," muttered Rasya continuing to pay attention to Raisa.
"You?" tawar Raisa's.
"Babouts!" reply Rasya.
Raisa shyly feeds cotton sugar into the mouth of Rasya, her upperclassman. Since when did Raisa get to be like that? Close to Rasya. Maybe as time goes on. Especially now that Raisa has Devan by her side.
"Thank" said Rasya.
"Remove," said Raisa as soon as the cotton sugar ran out.
"If you eat no apron" Rasya said wiping the corner of Raisa's lips using her thumb.
Raisa fell silent. It felt like there was a strange sigh in his chest. Sort of dag-dig-dug ser like abis running a marathon.
"Ekhem," Deheman Raisa scattered her groovy daydream looking at Rasya's handsome face from a short distance away.
"Yuk's home!" take Raisa while looking at the clock on her wrist.
"It's full!" cibir Rasya's.
"Hehehe, it's late afternoon. Ntar Kak Devan was angry," Raisa argued.
"Yes, yuk!"
Rasya started to drive his motorcycle towards Raisa's house on Jl. Hero No. 15. Precisely in the complex area Cut Nyak Dien No. 7.
Raisa had indeed told Rasya about her address when Rasya started to leave the city park. So, Rasya already knew where to take Raisa home.
"Thank for today" said Raisa as soon as he got off the bike Rasya.
"Either. Cave back first" answered Rasya.
"Ga stopped by?" ask Raisa.
"Next time" answered Rasya.
"OKAY. Be careful" said Raisa.
"Ready."
Raisa started to enter her house. The large, luxurious house looked quiet and dark. Though usually Oma Melani and Bu Dewi will welcome him in the living room.
"Oma, mother," called Raisa as she continued walking through the dark living room.
"Sister, Brother Devan," Raisa is looking for her brother.
"Where are you?" Raisa wonders.
Dor.
The sound of balloons popping out sounded from the direction of the family room. Slowly the lights of the room started to light up. The festive yet elegant birthday decorations are clearly visible there.
Devan came with a birthday cake with seventeen candles. Miss Dewi, Oma Melani and Gio also accompany Devan.
"Surprise!" screech them all.
Raisa was moved when she saw the surprise given by her brother. This is the first time his birthday has been celebrated. Even if only with family. But that means a lot. Especially at the age of Raisa who has turned seventeen years old.
"Thank you" Raisa said in tears.
"Pray with God!" devan's orders before Raisa hit the candle.
Raisa put her hands together to beg God. He hopes that happiness and safety will always be bestowed on him and his family.
"Ye ...," a cry full of happiness as Raisa blew out the number one and seven candles.
"Happy bithday my little sister. I wish you all the best" said Devan hugging his sister.
"Thank you so much my prince," Raisa returned her brother's embrace.
"Happy birthday to Oma's granddaughter" said Oma Melani.
"Thank you, Oma," answered Raisa hugging Oma Melani.
"Welcome to get older mother's child," said Ms. Dewi.
"Thank you, Mom. Mother is the best," said Raisa switched to hugging her mother.
"Happy bithday koala. I hope you are the best" said Gio.
"Haha, thank you Kak Gio," said Raisa directly hugging Gio.
Gio was surprised. But he also returned Raisa's embrace.
"It's a gift from me" said Gio, giving Raisa a gift box.
"What's this?" ask Raisa.
"Open it up" replied Gio.
Raisa opens the gift box from Gio. How surprised he was when he saw a beautiful necklace in the box.
"Thank you," said Raisa smiling happily.
Gio just smiled while nodding his head.
"It's from Oma, dear," said Oma Melani giving a picture figura to Raisa.
"Mom and papa's picture?" ask Raisa.
Oma Melani nodded. "As a memory to you" said Oma Melani.
"Furthermore Oma will give after you graduate High School" continued Oma Melani.
"thank you. It's very valuable" Raisa said.
"Mom just gave you this, son. Hope you like it" said Miss Dewi handed me a bracelet.
"That's your mama's bracelet that I still keep," said Ms. Dewi.
"That's great" praises Raisa.
"Because you're a big boy. Then you'll just give me flowers" Devan said, handing over the flower bucket to Raisa.
"Thank you."
"And so is this," said Devan gave a key.
"Melody Cafe is yours now" Devan said.
"No. I can't manage it well" Raisa refused.
"Sister Devan is the only one who takes care of Kak Gio," said Raisa turned to Gio and Devan.
Devan smiles. "Gio will still manage, but the owner of *Melody Ca*fe is now you. Gio and brother will teach you to do business from now on" Devan explained.
"All right."
