Not an Ex yet

29. HOW I DON'T KNOW

“You know each other?” Andira was very curious about what she was seeing right now. Naura comes to her graduation uninvited and asks for a photo together. Of course Andira was not good to refuse. The girl often appears wherever she is.

The first time Andira met Naura was during class XII, which was when Naura became her underclassman. Often brought him provisions of food that he admitted cooked by Naura herself. Andira is not a fool who does not know what the attention given by Naura means.

Andira could not give Naura what she wanted. Not wanting anyone to get hurt by him, Andira always avoids Naura who keeps approaching him.

“Still know not well..” Indi pretends to think by tapping her index finger on the cheek and the eye looking up.

Naura and Indi looked at each other and laughed together.

“We've known Andi for a long time. Before I even knew you, I knew your sister first. At that time Indi was still Junior High. Is it ndi?” Naura explains her introduction to Indi to Andira and her parents.

“Masa anyway? How do I not know?” Andira still can't believe it. “ I know all Indi friends. Temen SD, SMP, SMA even in the home environment. But I did not know that you are also one of his friends” Andira pointed to his sister who is still smiling nodding, confirming Naura's explanation.

“Udah. Naura.we all want lunch. You follow ya” Amrita invites the newly known beautiful girl. Naura turned towards Andira as if asking for approval.

“why even ngliatin me?” Andira furrowed her eyebrows “Not me who ngajakin lo ya. Only lunch was also” Andira was cold again.

“Andi!” Amrita glared her eyes at Andira. Amrita knew very well the nature of her boy.

Andira doesn't want to act like that. He just wanted to make a clear distance with Naura. The line was deliberately made to make Naura want to rewind the step closer to her.

“Ayo darling” Amrita took Naura's hand to enter the car to be driven by Andira. Deliberately opening the front door next to the driver's seat, so Naura can sit next to Andira.

Drrt..drr.t.

Andira's phone shook, while she sat behind the wheel she was about to drive. Before pressing the green button, Andira looks at the screen and slightly tilts her head “Nomer again” and takes a slow breath.

“Hallo..

“.….” No sound was heard

“Hallo..” Andira back fishing speaker

“.….” And still no answer. Andira started to lose her breath

“Sorry..Whoever you are, I don't have time to serve this fad. I'm not interested in playing with you, so please find someone else.” Andira put a little emphasis on every word he said. He signaled that he was angry now.

“Andi..tut..tut...tut”.

Andira furrowed her brows. “A woman!” inner Andira. Shut up for a moment and take a deep breath, exhaling slowly.

“Who's sister?” Indi asked, as if representing everyone in the car. Andira looked next to her and Naura looked at her, and her parents were in the back seat.

“Ngga tau mah.” Andira answered while shaking. Andira was very curious about the person who called her often. It wasn't once that Andira received a call like that, and it started to interfere with her day.

“That prank number again huh kak?” Indi guessed the caller of her brother. Andira just nodded and started to press the button that read ENGINE START STOP

“He eh” Andira pulls the BRAKE HOLD button which is next to GEARING with her finger

“Who is dear?” This time Amrita asked Indi

“Indi also does not know mah. At the end of this Kak Andira often receive strange calls. And when lifted, no matter what. But Indi was once the one who lifted up. Female voice, continues to name what is really the number of Kak Andira. That was doang.”

Naura who had just been silent and listening started to tilt her head slightly (maybe thinking). Slightly glanced at Andira who was driving, it did not escape the sight of Amrita.

“You don't have any enemies, do you?” Ask Amrita worried

“That can't be auntie!” Naura immediately turned around, facing back and refuting Amrita's question “ Andi was actually a good boy on campus.” Andira mangosteen mangosteen and brandishing the thumb of his left hand on Naura “ It may even be one of the secret admirers.a....nya” Naura shrinks his voice looks not excited.

“Ehmm..kalo guess lo bener, meaning it's something really not important” Andira answered steadily and glanced towards Naura. Andira did not know that Naura raised the corner of her lips, she smiled.

Naura smiled knowing that Andira was not interested in the female female who became her secret admirer. Even if it includes him. But Naura remains eager to be the only one who can destroy Andira's defensive walls.

The five of them arrived at the restaurant that had been ordered by Bagas to celebrate the graduation day of his boys.

“We eat here om?” Naura asked Bagas

“Iya. Why?” Bagas saw Naura who stepped doubtfully

“Lo no food kayak gini yah?” Andira guessed Naura's doubt. “Sorry..this kalo does not fit your taste. But the food is pretty good here. And this cafe is also where I work temporarily.” Naura instantly widened her eyes hearing Andira's explanation.

The explanation that Andira is a cafe employee who is currently in front of her, makes Naura continue to look at Andira.

“That's not what I mean Andi. I'm just..”.

“Hai man..welcome, you have become a bachelor” A man looking bule out of the cafe and immediately hugged Andira. The man is Andira's best friend and boss. “Place for lo, I'm readyin”

“Thank you bro” Andira returned Evans' embrace

“Hallo om aunty. Hi beautiful sister” Evans greets one by one members of the Andira family and waves to Indi.

Evans knows Andira's family. Living in a country of people makes it inevitably have to adjust. Andira was the first person who wanted to be his friend when he was still in a white ash uniform.

Evans and Andira are not one generation, but their friendship does not matter that. Evans was also a scholar earlier than Andira. Then began to pioneer the cafe business, which certainly had the support of Andira.

Evans saw a girl who had no voice and almost hid behind Andira's body.

“Naura..”.
