Not the Ex-Friend
Chapter 33 After White Grey
The High School has passed. The waiting range to enter the college level is still 3.5 months away.
Bianca takes the offer as a cafe waitress belonging to her mother's friend Mia. At the weekend, Bianca becomes a singer in the same place.
Papa Indra's condition has not changed anything. The three still took turns to stand guard at the hospital, waiting for Papa Indra who was still lying in a coma for more than 3 months.
Mia was visiting her opanya oma house from both her parents' parties in turn. Spend some time on vacation before leaving to continue his studies in Australia.
Della had a two-week vacation to the family home of Mama Dina in the Bandung area.
How are five friends ? Devano, Arya, and Ernest went on to study abroad with a choice of different countries. Leo continued to study at one of the PTN in Bandung through an independent path, and finally the most absurd figure, Joshua, continued to study at the same private college with Della.
Devano and Arya fill their vacation by working in their respective family companies. Sometimes Arya still comes to meet with Bianca while eating at the cafe where she works.
“Bi, later tonight you fill the event as usual right ?” Juan, the son of the cafe owner, approached Bianca who was cleaning the table.
“Iya brother. I'll start at 7 as usual.”
“Then you do not need to continue the work of the server. Rest first, let your voice max out later tonight.”
“But I'm today on shift until 4 o'clock, brother. Esti did not enter due to illness so less energy in the guest area.”
Juan took the tray and the cleaning equipment that was in Bianca's hands.
“After returning home,” Juan gave the code with his hand. “Later tonight there are special guest bookings for 20 people. They request you as their single singer.”
“Missful booking direct 20 people.” Bianca's face was sparkling .
“Eat him home there, rest. Prepare yourself well for tonight.”
Juan pushed softly on Bianca's shoulder. He told her to finish her job and go home.
“Siipp then, Brother. I definitely give my best and do not make you ashamed brother.” Bianca smiled and gave her thumb sign.
Bianca was lying in her room after coming from the cafe. 3:30 in the afternoon. There is still 2 hours before Bianca's schedule back to the cafe. Usually he will do a sound test first with the music players and prepare the songs that will be performed according to the theme given by the cafe owner every week.
Bianca opens a messaging app on her phone. There have been no conversations with his two friends in the group. They seem to be busy with their own activities. Bianca took a deep breath. There was a longing during his school days. With the atmosphere of class, jokester and silliness of his friends who make teachers shake their heads, not to mention the sound of Mia's cry when talking about commuter 12 cars.
Unknowingly the tears came out from both corners of his eyes. The quiet atmosphere makes Bianca's heart so melow. Dad and the crowd in his house. His friends and all his ridiculousness. Suddenly Bianca felt alone at this moment.
Bianca got up and wiped her tears.
“Enth Bi ! Clover !” Bianca monologue.
She opened the wardrobe and looked for her best outfit to perform tonight. The choice of her favorite peach dress with lace decoration in some parts. Bianca decided to go early to the cafe rather than get caught up in the feeling of melow due to the quiet atmosphere.
The watch on her wrist showed at 17:15 as Bianca reached the front door of the cafe. In one corner of the room close to the mini stage, some tables are neatly arranged and on it is attached RESERVED writing.
Bianca walked towards the kitchen and placed her bag inside the locker, while her phone was inserted into her dress pocket.
“Already back Bi.” Juan who had just come down from the 2nd floor greeted him.
“Iya Sis, join at home. Mending waiting here aja.” Bianca laughed a little.
“Heri and others have arrived ?” Juan circulated his gaze but had yet to find the person in question.
“Must be a minute, Brother. Still this hour too.”
“Okay if I stay first ya.” Juan passed Bianca while patting the girl's shoulder gently.
At 6 pm Heri, who became the coordinator of the music players at the cafe began to do a sound test with his team and Bianca. They also chose the songs that will be performed today.
“Aunt Bian !” The call with a loud voice made Bianca smile without turning her head. Currently he was adjusting the tone with Mas Eka who was holding the keyboard.
“Dih arrogant highly !” Mia patted Bianca's shoulder quite hard.
“Sick Mia !” Omel Bianca's.
“Mas rest first yes. This is a super-baffle guest that needs to be served.”
Mas Heri smiled and gave the code okay then woke up leaving his keyboard.
“Cantics highly. Tumben.” Mia sneered as she watched Bianca from top to bottom.
“Duh misspoke me !” Mia patted her eel.
“Emang when the hell elo actually talk about it?” Suata Della was already heard near them.
“Della !” Bianca and Mia were both strangling when they saw the figure of their best friend was there as well.
The three immediately embraced. For almost a month they have not met.
“Eh wait, how can your tumbens be the same here ?” Bianca looked at the two after breaking their embrace.
Bianca's eyebrows shot up next to her while looking at Mia and Della for an explanation.
Mia and Della throw each other a glance before answering Bianca's question.
“Ya invited lah.” Mia answered first.
“ Invited who ? How can I do it?” Bianca frowned.
“Same row who had the event.” Della pointed towards the entrance with her chin.
Bianca turned her head and found Arya and Ernest who had just entered the cafe.
“Don't tell me that Arya booked this table.” Bianca pointed at the row of tables nearby.
“Halo Bianca !” Arya waved her hand as she got close to the three girls.
“How are you, Bianca ?” Ernesr greeted him.
“Haaaiizz called Bianca doang,” grumbled Mia.
”What I am the same Della does not look so big.” Sung with pursed lips.
“Dih rambek.” Ernesr sneered.
“Bodo !” Mia with her unfortunate mode turned around and took the tempar sitting on the long table that had been prepared.
“Newly a month did not meet already make pangling aja, Bi. How to be beautiful like this?” Temptation Ernest looked at Bianca while winking his eyes sideways.
“Wooii !” Arya elbowed Ernest's arm. “Don't make ge-er first, later nyannyya not focus.”
Bianca laughed at the behavior of the two guys in front of her. His heart was a little happy to see Arya was not as stiff and cold as in High School.
“No influence Yes, already usual singer praised.”
Bianca replied with a soft laugh.
“But actually Bi,” Ernest lifts his thumb.
“Hai bro, already in advance aja.” Joshua's voice similar to Mia's when talking slowly interrupted Bianca's conversation with Arya and Ernest.
Not far away it turns out that Leo is also standing behind Joshua. They give each other greetings tos and hugs in the style of guys and it turns out not only they are a group of five friends minus Devano who come. Arya also invited friends of the basketball team who are now both sudsh so alumni. Some of them came with their partners.
“Bianca ?” Revan one of the basketball team members greeted Bianca who was standing a bit away because of the crowd who had just entered earlier.
“How are you doing Revan ?” Bianca nodded with a smile.
“Kok not long ago not met elo different really yes ?” Revan was still mesmerized staring at Bianca.
“Normally Bro,” Leo nudged Revan's shoulder. “Awas ngeces nih.”
“Damn lo !” Omel Revan's.
Bianca and Leo as well as some people standing nearby laughed
And the eating begins. The cafe waiters began to be busy even Brother Juan to intervene. And it turns out that brother Juan's wife helped also that night because the situation at the cafe was quite crowded in addition to Arya's order.
Bianca went on stage and started getting ready to sing. It turned out that the list of songs that had been given by Kak Rendi, the cafe manager, was songs ordered by Arya.
They enjoyed the atmosphere of togetherness that night Bianca was preparing the third song that will be performed. As Bianca was getting ready in front of the mic, her eyes stared at the figure who had just entered the cafe door.
“Devano !” His inner.
