Not the Ex-Friend
Chapter 41 The Meeting of Bianca and Diana



A month had passed since the meeting with Diana and Arini in the sports area. Each is again preoccupied with lecture activities and others. Mia´s. Arya and Ernest are still enjoying their vacation in Jakarta. Sometimes Bianca still meets her two best friends on the weekends.


This Saturday afternoon Bianca got an invitation to meet with Diana at the Rainbow Cafe. As usual Bianca did have a singing schedule at the same place, so they agreed to meet at 3 this afternoon.


“Sorry I'm late.” Diana, who was a little hasty entering the cafe, approached Bianca who was sitting in one corner of the room near the window.


“Nothing. Relax aja.” Bianca smiled sweetly.


“Order first.” Bianca handed out the menu book to Diana.


“What is your favorite here ?” Diana began to open the menu book.


“Almost all the food here is delicious, depending on taste. But the popular one is indeed the paste.”


Diana ordered lasagna, mashed potato and a glass of warm milk chocolate.


“I still have to abstain from too greasy food, especially fried foods. You're still in the treatment of my heart problem.” Diana slightly explained after the servant left them.


“I'm not interrupting right?” Ask Diana.


“Samely no.” Bianca smiled as she shook her head.


“Eh really do not mind if I call my name without frills sister ?”


“Casual aja Di. I even like being called names without any additional brother. So feel the same age.” Bainca laughed followed by Diana.


“Still love to be in touch with Kak Devano ?” Diana's sudden question made Bianca choke while enjoying her fries.


“Since school I almost never communicated with Devano.”


“Did Brother Devano never contact you at all?”


Bianca took a breath and sucked up her lemon squash drink. Diana looked at him.


“Why ? You're doing this out of worry, aren't I still trying to be Devano ? Relax, I will not seize the position of your friend and sister Arya.”


Diana was shocked to hear Bianca's words.


“Eh I don't mean that. My question has nothing to do with Arini. Really deh.” Diana raised both of her fingers to form the letter V.


“Yes is also okay.” Bianca smiled bitterly.


“Arya has told me how close you two are and about the matchmaking that has been arranged by your opa.”


“But really Bi...” Diana stopped her words because the waiter came to deliver her order.


“Please enjoy.”


“Thanks for Nina.” Bianca replied with a smile to her friend. Nina is one of the senior regulars at Cafe Pelangi.


“I while eating yes.” Diana picked up the tableware and began to enjoy the dishes.


“Hmmmm tasty Bi. Cafes are always crowded and quite viral.”


“The price is also quite cheap for young children.”


The conversation continued around Diana's lecture at one of the famous private universities in Jakarta, stories about Diana's life and why she chose to go back to college in Jakarta as well as a little Bianca story about her school days. There is no problem Devano is personally raised in their conversations, only occasionally Diana recounts the childhood she went through with Devano before she was sent to Australia.


“Mama kangen would like to meet you, Bi.” Diana placed her cutlery on a clean plate.


“When to play home. Mama would love to see you while chatting again.”


Bianca smiled faintly and briefly threw a glance out the window.


“Sorry that I can't.” Bianca replied immediately, unwilling to give false hope to Diana and mama Angela.


“Loh why ?”


Bianca shook her head while returning a faint smile.


“Sorry.” Bianca


“Bi,” Diana touches the back of Bianca's hand. “Can I discuss Devano's sister and the story about him is the same you ?”


Bianca stared fixedly at Diana's eyes and finally nodded.


“Really Bi, I did not meet today because of Arini or mama let alone Kak Devano.”


Diana paused her talk while taking the bottled water and drinking it.


“I want to know more closely the figure of Bianca often told by mama.”


Bianca smiled faintly.


“It turns out that the actual figure of Bianca is more pleasant than the story of mama.” Diana laughed a little.


Bianca turned her head when she heard Diana's words that came back laughing.


“I've been erasing my feelings for Devano since we graduated SMA.”


“Yaahhh don't dong ! I'm sure that Brother Devano has the same feelings as you.”


Bianca smiled bitterly again.


“Halu !” Bianca. “Even Devano asked me not to look for Aunt Angela.”


“Trust me that Brother Devano only covered his feelings. And about Arini, don't worry. None of our family agreed with the matchmaking event, except Opa Ruby and Arini themselves of course.”


Bianca just stood still and stirred her drink with a straw.


“Bi,” Diana patted the back of Bianca's hand on the table.


“Please never erase your affection or love for Brother Devano.”


“So I can't have a crush on another guy ?” Bianca pouting.


“Waiting is the most boring and unpleasant work. Especially waiting for something unclear.”


Diana laughed at the pouting Bianca.


“Kak Devano is a guy who is too obedient. Yes to the rules, to the parents and whatever is asked of him. Sometimes his attitude so make him stiff and cold, even sacrificing his own feelings and desires.”


“Bi, can you hold on any minute now ? At least until Kak Devano returns to Indonesia.”


Bianca took a deep breath and occasionally knocked her forehead.


“What if your guess is all wrong?” Bianca looked at Diana fixedly.


Diana laughed lightly while shaking her head.


“I'm probably just her sister who has been more than 5 tons living away from her, only occasionally we meet But mama is a mother who never wronged her feeling.”


“Then Arini ? I'm tired of being treated so much by Devano.” fans


“Arini mama's business, me and Arya's sister. We just beg you to keep your feelings for Devano. Please never change.”


Diana clenched her hands in front of her face with a glare.


Bianca looked at him while smiling faintly. Diana was still swiping her clenched hand begging Bianca with a face.


“What is the guarantee that Devano has the same feelings as me ?”


Diana lowered her tsngan and took a deep breath. He fell silent and turned his eyes out the window. Bianca looked at Diana, waiting for the girl's answer.


“Human heart can change, In. We've been separated for more than 30 months without any news.”


Bianca paused for a moment while taking a heavy breath.


“People who are diligent in communication with loving feelings can only change if the relationship is long distance, let alone us who are not bound by anything and never share the news in the least.”


Diana was still in silent mode. He was confused as to what answer to Bianca.


“Partially I decided to open my heart to the guy who approached me.”


Uhhuukkk.


Diana who was drinking was choking on hearing Bianca's words. His eyes widened. Diana did not believe in her hearing.


“Did anyone approach you and start to interest you at this time Bi ?”


Bianca just nodded.


Diana's face turned anxious. He *******-****** his fingers under the table.


“What is Bianca starting to like Revan ?” Inner Diana.


“Bi, how far have you been in relationship?”


Bianca smiled faintly. Bianca's turn looked at Diana's face which looked a little anxious and agitated, but Devano's sister tried to be calm.


“I don't know also Di. We've been close for two years and he's been very kind and considerate of me. Maybe it's time I get his attention back.”


Diana fell silent and took back her glass of water. He threw a glance out of the window that looked cloudy.


“You think I didn't notice your interaction with Revan who looks familiar, not like someone who just met. What really happened between you guys ?” Inner Bianca.


The atmosphere of the two became silent because Diana was still confused as to what to do with Bianca while Bianca only smiled faintly at Diana's reaction.
