Alfin fucked. He had just finished his night shift for three days in a row. Because his partner wants to get married, he must be willing to work shifts.
Alfin with a lethargic face had just woken up. It came in at two in the afternoon. So to freshen up, Alfin took the time to go to the cafe to just buy caffeine.
Alfin arrived at Garbin's cafe. The cafe is close to the hospital and is his favorite. He was standing behind a woman. Then when the woman was done, it was Alfin's turn to order.
“Mbak, cappucino ice one.” Alfin.
As soon as the sentence was finished, Alfin was suddenly sprayed.
Byur
Alfin gasped, his eyes that had been opened wide. There was no wind, no rain let alone a boyfriend, he was suddenly sprayed by the woman who had ordered in front of him. The sweetness of the coffee was splashed on his tongue.
“Sorry.” Said that woman who was none other than Nana.
Alfin rubbed his rough face and looked annoyed, “You again? Coffee is coffee yesterday. Why am I always unlucky every time I see you?!” jikak Alfin's.
“I said I'm sorry anyways by accident. As soon as you heard your voice, I lost control.” Nana said without sin.
“What?” alfin.
“I'm upset to see your face, because of you I'm almost too late to come and my friend wants to kill himself.” Nana was upset.
“Kill themselves? Oh, so you're Kansha's friend?” ask Alfin. Nana nodded despite being surprised.
“How can you know?”
“Hah, “Alfin sighed softly, “How can a beautiful and kind girl like Kansha befriend a python? Hard to understand common sense.” Dramatic Alfin.
“What? Piton snakes? Who did you say python?” nana was even more upset.
“Who else?” alfin songong. “Have forgotten, a beautiful angel like me can't get along with a creature so-genesis.” Then it turned around and left.
Nana was upset and angry. He exhaled a rough breath then shouted, “Hei!” his yell.
Alfin turned around and instantly a sweet bump landed on his cheek.

Alan and Kansha have arrived at the grilled chicken shop. They came down and went inside. Kansha was amazed, this is not a 'warung' anymore but it is like a restaurant. The place is spacious with a thick Sundanese impression.
They were sitting on the edge of the lake, Kansha with reverence to see fish of various colors swimming here and there. The atmosphere is cool and comfortable.
“I just found out there is a restaurant like this in Jakarta. I thought the plant was fake, but it turned out to be real, I felt like I was in Bogor.” Kansha looked at Alan.
“I also just came the first time, the place is nice and comfortable. Suitable for dining with family.” Alan Timpal.
“I thought, you've been here, you look lithe. Even earlier when looking for a seat, you know where to go.” Tukas Kansha's.
“I was told my friend who had come here to choose this place, this is the best spot. And again, I want to experience the first time with someone else.”
“You are indeed GPS.” Kansha. Alan smiled hearing that.
Then the waiter came and asked for their order. Kansha eagerly chose the menu.
Kansha stood up and stared excitedly at the waiter, “Ayam grilled original, must chest please do not wear skin and burned thoroughly. Drink warm sweet tea and another one, do not forget the wipes.” Kansha.”You how?” ask Alan.
When Alan was about to open his mouth, Kansha immediately interrupted him, “Make you, the chicken pesennya chili Ijo can thigh or chest, there should be skin, and burned cooked. Drinking water—“ Kansha turned to Alan.
“Tea sweet warm.” Imbuh Alan's.
Kansha nodded, “Drink warm sweet tea.” Deuteronomy. The maid who took note simply smiled knots then retreated.
“Are you always this chatty when ordering food?” ask Alan.
“Not really, but if we are trying roasted chicken especially in a newly opened restaurant, then there must be a trial. One, the original roasted chicken, two upgraded versions an his.” Reply Kansha spirit.
“Then after that?” ask Alan.
“After that—what?” ask Kansha.
Alan smiled small, “After that please sit quietly and do not continue to stand.” The insinuation is on Kansha.
Kansha opened her mouth and cleared her throat in embarrassment, and she immediately sat down. Alan who saw it only chuckled a little.

“Nana, why long?” reuben asked as soon as Nana came in.
“Oh, there were many queuing.” Nana's reply was a lie. He's handed Ruben the order.
“Receive—your hand why?” reuben asked so eagerly to take his order and saw Nana's flushed hand.
“O-oh, there was a little accident. “ replied Nana wanted to let go of her hand but Ruben prevented it.
“Your hands should be treated, wait a minute.” Then Reuben stepped into the kitchen and took the ice water. He put it in the basin after which brought it to the living room.
“You were so careless, couldn't you go home whole? There are only injuries left.” Reuben. He put Nana's hand into the basin of water. A chill ran through Nana's hands.
Ruben continued to massage Nana's flushed hands gently and after a moment of silence, Ruben took a clean towel and rubbed it on Nana's hands. Ruben was so painstaking in treating Nana. They were long in a state of inertia, and it was during this time that Nana stared intensely at Reuben. His heart was pounding because he was so close to his girlfriend.
Nana reckon, Kansha's advice is appropriate. Being on one roof with Ruben made her feel happy and protected.

Kansha and Alan had finished their meal. They are now talking ria.
“So, I stayed in front of his house, keeping an eye on him. Until finally he appeared with his colleagues after the party miras.” Kansha's Story.
“You're up to his side to get the news?” alan asked surprised.
“It shouldn't be, but that includes important news is very important. People should know what their leader's true face is. Trillions of rupiah funds that he said for the welfare of the people were instead used for the welfare of his stomach and lust.” Reply Kansha.
Alan nodded in agreement, “Truely you said too. That's why I always felt that the existence of the press was important. Because the press media represents the people, although a little commercial but still useful news. Especially now that freedom of opinion is not prohibited.”
“You know, not all the news you see is real the reality is like that.” Kansha.
Alan frowned not understanding, “You mean?”
“Not all press media are given freedom of expression. Sometimes we are silenced by the ruler and buy our news.”
“I've experienced it. One day, I was investigating a bribe and an official sex party, I also knew it from a canned letter, at first I couldn't believe it but then I saw it with my own eyes. The official brought five women at once to his residence. The official found out that I knew the secret, and offered me a deal. He wants me to forget that and offer me millions of dollars. I refused of course, but unexpectedly, my coworkers were tempted and ended up selling the news. So the news was never broadcast.” Kansha. Memories of when he was a junior in the world of journalism danced in his mind. He had no supplies or strong footing to fight. So you can only give up.
“I didn't expect, there was such a story.” Alan's Comment.
“That's why, there's no point in voicing the truth when you don't have money. We have to be monsters first to fight other monsters. We have to be big water if we want to put out the fire.” Added Kansha.
Alan nodded in agreement, then quietly ambushed them. Before long, Kansha broke the silence again.
“How are you related to Aisyah?” chirping Kansha.
Alan turned his head, “What relationship do you mean?”
“Your wedding plans, when will you?” ask Kansha.
Alan was speechless at Kansha's question, then said hesitantly, “Aisyah is still writing the script.” Reply Alan.
“So, if Aisyah finishes writing the script, you will get married?” ask Kansha.
Alan wet his lips, “To be honest, I don't know what to do.”
“What do you mean?” kansha asked not understanding.
“Nothing, forget it.” Alan's elak in the end.
Kansha sighed, “Aisyah is so nice and beautiful, it suits you. He'll be a great partner to you. So don't hang it continuously. You guys have decided to get married, good things must be done immediately, right?” kansha.
“Kansha, can we not discuss this?” ask Alan.
“I just want to tell you that you will regret wasting Aisyah so marry her immediately.” Tukas Kansha's.
“I'm sorry, but this is my business with Aisyah, it has nothing to do with you. So no need to comment anything.” Alan said coldly.
“I know, I'm not meddling in your affairs. It's your business and I don't care at all. I mean, Aisyah's been waiting for you all this time, when other people believe that you died at that time isn't it just Aisyah who still believes? It should be there that you know that his love for you is so great that he does not want to believe anything before seeing the truth.” Kansha.
“Kansha, once again I say, do not interfere and you have no right to speak. Stop this talk, we didn't come here to argue, did we?” alan said coldly.
Kansha relented seeing Alan's cold and unfriendly look, “Alright, I'm sorry it was sassy.” Her speech.
Alan did not respond, he immediately stood up to make Kansha stand, “We go home.” Said Alan.
