Not the Ex-Friend

Chapter 34 Just For Memories

Devano joined his friends and just like before did tos and greetings of basketball children.

The empty bench left only at the other end of the side was not the stage deckar. His position is opposite Mia and Della.

“This song is dedicated to friends who will continue their studies away from Jakarta either outside the city or abroad.” Bianca gave a little interjection before singing her third song.

“Goodbye Lover from Chrisye.” Bianca.

“Devano !” Joshua stood up and shouted. “So sweet really Bianca singin for elo.” Gidanya.

Joshua's spontaneous words make his friends excited and chatty, not least Mia and Della who also tease Devano.

Devano only turned a glance expressionlessly while Bianca started to feel the heat on her face.

“Bro and sis,” Bianca talk front mic. “Yang wants to continue study abroad instead of Devano doang loh. There's Arya, Ernest and whoever will continue outside Jakarta.”

Bianca smiled sweetly in response to the jokes of her friends. He tried to cover up the rumble of his heart, let alone remember the incident that Devano kissed him at that time.

Suddenly Leo and Ernest got up from their seats and approached Devano and held his arms left and right.

“Bi, Devano biarin accompanying using keyboard . He plays the piano.” Ernest opens his voice.

“Anything you guys ?” Devano's face turned irritated.

“Colah Van, once this just appeared in front of us. Think of this as a memento of our teen's last years.”

“Devan ! Devan ! Devan !”

Whether who started it, the other friends started to open their voices asking Devano to comply with Ernest and Leo's request.

“Nmobile !” Reject Devano hard. His position was already standing due to being forced to get up by Ernest and Leo.

“Devano, please ..” Mia sitting opposite her clenched her fingers pleading. “Ence a time. Perform with Bianca.”

Bianca felt the heat around her face. Mas Heri and his friends joined in with smiles while waiting.

Arya had a chance to throw a glance at Bianca then to Devano. There was a bit of pain in his little heart, but remember his own promise. Arya wakes up and approaches the positions of Devano, Leo and Ernest. He whispered to Devano which made the guy frown.

Arya blinked her eyes while nodding at Devano. The friend took a deep breath and finally let go of Ernest and Leo's hold. He tidied up his t-shirt and hesitated a little walk towards the stage.

Arya pushed on so Devano wouldn't turn back. Devano's actions immediately received applause and torment from his friends. Even some cafe visitors applauded.

And here's where Devano is now, sitting in front of the keyboard. Mas Heri and other musicians took off the stage, leaving behind Bianca and Devano.

Bianca took a deep breath, There was a sense of discomfort in her heart, but she tried to be professional as a lover in the cafe Kak Juan.

Bianca approached Devano who was tuning her keyboard. Discuss for a moment about the song and the scales that match Bianca's voice.

“Enjoy this song !” Bianca said with a smile.

The unrelenting rain spatter accompanied

Sunny tonight since you're away from hugs

Happy lover's way, pursue the ideals

Don't hesitate to step forward for the future and all possibilities

Don't you mind the tears that fall on me

You should have trusted that your meaning is for me

Happy lover's way, pursue the ideals

Don't hesitate to step up

One day we will be together again

Together again.The two of us.

The song that Bianca sung melodiously made her friends carried away by the atmosphere because soon some of them will be separated.

On stage, Bianca and Devano were silent and staring at each other. The moment that Arya did not miss was immediately immortalized with her camera phone and did not forget to send the photo to Angela's mother

“Wah where is this Ar ? Aunty wants to go there dong.” Reply to Agela's mom who seems to be online.

“Cafe Rainbow, Tan. But do not follow me later even over 😜😜”

“😭😭 Though see a more exciting live.”

Arya just smiled reading a message from Angela's mom who was so excited to unite Devano and Bianca. Just this time Arya sees mama Angela so eagerly responding to the girl who likes Devano. Previously there were even those who had sent bribes in the form of gifts or food, but all were not responded to by Angela's mother. But only a few times to meet Bianca, Angela's mother is so excited. In fact, always reminding Devano not to think about his match with Arini, Arya's sister. Mama Angela reiterated the issue at a meeting of the two families last week

“Do not load Opa Ruby request about your matchmaking with Arini, Van. Papa sama mama herself gives freedom kok same you to choose.” Mama Agela.

“Just keep papa and mama should be involved as juri.” Follow mama Angela.

“Authorly Tan race ?” Goda Aryan's.

“Kayak competition so loh,” mama Angela laughs little. “Need jury selecting.”

Papa Harry and Papa Himawan just shake their heads while mama Deasy nods in agreement with mama Angela

“Tante and Om also disagree with the so-called matchmaking, Van.” Typhoon mama Deasy.

“Follow your heart if there is someone you like. Do not let go just because you feel obliged to obey the request opa Ruby in order to become a dutiful grandson.” Follow mama Angela.

Back to the cafe. It turned out that Ernest and Leo noticed also the condition of Bianca and Devano who were both glued to each other

“Bi, we want nyannyi also can not ?” Leo awakened the daydream of the two creatures on the stage.

“EEhh... can.. can be very.” Bianca became nervous because she was caught looking at Devano.

“Arya !” Ernest called Arya with a wave of his hand.

Arya nodded and moved towards the stage.

“Gue follow too.” Joshua didn't want to miss going on stage either.

Bianca hands Leo the mic and leaves the stage but is prevented by Arya.

“Elo stay here. Stay close to Devano.” Arya pointed to Devano who immediately got a rejection from Bianca.

“Gue here aja.”

“Udah there to be a cheerleader or backing vocal.”

Arya slightly pushed Bianca up to near Devano who was still sitting in front of the keyboard.

It turned out that the five friends had musical skills as well besides being popular because of their faces and basketball players.

Ernest plays the drums, Arya holds the guitar, and Leo the singer. Only Joshua was a fan. But his behavior that was far from shame made him stay on stage.

Arya whispers to her 3 friends, and Leo approaches the mic attached to Devano.

“This song is elo who sings.” Leo Said. He himself picked up the bass instrument that was on stage.

“No !” Reject Devano firmly. “Gue don't want to sing.”

“Please !” His throws were compactly staring at Devano with his face parched as he clenched both of their hands in the chest.

The confused Bianca looked back and forth at Devano and her four friends in turn. He saw Devano snorting in annoyance.

“What song ?” Ask Devano

“Go to Return - the Ello.” Reply Leo and Ernest compact.

“What ?” Devano.

“As an answer to the song that Bianca sangin dong Bro.” Joshua blinked his eyes while smiling seductively towards Bianca.

The girl was immediately startled and smiled faintly.

Even the sky that night

Bathed in starlight

The moon shines how beautiful it is

But it adds to the pain

I'm gonna leave you

Tracing the twists of my life

Do not worry and do not doubt

Give me a smile

Goodbye, you'll see us again

I'm leaving won't be long

In just a moment, I will be back

Just so you wait

The voice of Devano that was just heard in a public place made the girls alumni of Dharma Bangsa High School who were there gasp and melt.

Mia who was busy recording everything with her phone was blown away.

“Keren ! Cool ! Didn't expect Devano to have such a good voice.” Praise Della

“Sstttt !” Mia placed her index finger on Della's lips and her head movements pointed to the phone she was holding.

“Upppsss sorry.” Della whispered while covering her mouth with a palm.

Their friends immediately stood up and applauded, some were whistling and cheering as Devano finished the song.

Bianca who was beside him also gave an applause for Devano.

“Great cool !” Praise is spontaneous with a big smile

Devano just kept quiet and turned to look at Bianca who showed her sweet smile. His thumb was pointing towards Devano.

“Again ! Again ! More !”

The women from the bench of the group of former Dharma Bangsa High School children and cafe visitors cheered for Devano to sing the song back. Devano shook his head and got up from his stool.

“Van, pity fans elo.” Leo lowered his eyebrows. Devano shook his head back.

“When else can Dev perform together like this ? Let's go back to college.” Persuade Ernest.

“Come Bro !” Joshua open his voice.

Devano took a breath and was about to shake his head back but stopped when his arm was touched. She turned her head and found Bianca touching her hand with her fingertips.

“We duet as cover. First and last. Just for our white-gray time memories.” Bianca said with a slight tremble.

I don't know where Bianca dared to touch Devano even though it was just an arm. Even with how dare he take Devano duet.

Devano stared at Bianca fixedly. The girl became misbehaved and embarrassed but with all her might she covered her with a smile. Bianca nodded with Devano.

Devano took a deep breath. Leo put down the bass that was played and walked over to Devano and patted him on the shoulder.

“Elo focus on singing, I play keyboard.”

”Coolback, Leo.” Bianca gave her thumbs up to Leo. “Can sing, bass, keyboard any more. It turns out you guys are indeed cool guys with multi talent ya.”

“There is a discussion with Devano to duet apaan.” Leo turned Bianca's shoulder to face Devano and approached her.

And here they are, venting out all the feelings of closing the happy memories of the white-gray period through poems and songs.

“Hai Bro and Sis, as the last song we both made tonight, Devano and I will perform an old song from KLA PROJECT titled ABOUT US Please enjoy this song !” Bianca gave an introduction before they started singing and was immediately greeted with boisterous applause.

Devano

Dusty days

Together you are sure I face

Bianca

While knitting both

The wishful thread you offer

Devano

Long time to understand

You become a mystery that is increasingly hidden

So far as to judge

The love of tergalik yours is true

Bianca

A million wishes that I could have put in your eyes

Duets

Simple personal

Promising pure love

It turns out t’lah to be true happiness

A heart that is unexcited

Let's hold the fingers to combine two hearts

Mutually possess

Go back, come back now

All the asa is radiant (Devano)

Okay, now, right now

Sensitivity of conscience (Bianca)

Go back, come back now

All the asa is radiant

Promise, promise now

Stay faithful until s’long forever

Stay faithful until s’long forever

The song was completed and again received a warm welcome from the cafe visitors.

Bianca and Devano's hands clasped each other. This incident was recorded in Mia's cellphone and became the attention of her six second friends. Devano and Bianca looked at each other with smiles only emanating on Bianca's face.

Arya, Leo immediately took the place next to Bianca while Ernest and Joshua were next to Devano. The six of them joined hands and paid their respects to the spectators.

“Only for Bi memories, don't baper ! Devano just got carried away, don't expect more !”Inner Bianca when feeling the warmth of Devano's hand grip.
