Not the Ex-Friend

Chapter 42 Can I Like You ?

It has been 3 months since Bianca's meeting with Diana at Rainbow Cafe. Bianca's friends have returned to their respective places and are preoccupied with routine as usual.

Diana himself had sent 2 messages to Bianca just to ask Bianca news.

The lecture schedule that entered the 6th semester made Bianca begin to reduce her part-time work as a waitress at a cafe near the campus. He only takes a side job at the Rainbow Cafe on weekends. It was not as often as the gig schedule because the college tasks were quite solid.

“Later afternoon back home ?” Revan had already taken a seat across from Bianca.

This afternoon Bianca is filling her stomach with her best friend Dewi in the campus cafeteria, Revan appears and immediately sits at the same table with a bottle of cold drink.

“Tomorrow I just returned home. Later in the afternoon still want to finish the task of the group, fear kemaleman.” Bianca replied after finishing the last mouthful of her meal.

“Gue is also the same Van.” Goddess chimed.

“Yes I'm also going home tomorrow. What time is it planned, let me pick up.”

Bianca shrugged both of her shoulders while sucking up the drink.

“If I pick up at 10 o'clock at the boarding place how ?”

“Bby deh,” Goddess who replied.

After eating, Bianca and Dewi returned to class because there are still courses to be followed until 3 pm. Revan also returned to his faculty following his next course.

“Van,” Bianca stopped her steps before they split. He gave the Goddess a code to go first.

“Van,” call Bianca back when Dewi has passed.

“Iya Bianca dear... I've been away from earlier.”.

Bianca gave a small laugh looking at Revan's expression.

“Today is college until what time?”

“Jam 4 pm I just finished. Why ?”

“Gue can you ask for a moment to finish college ? I finished at 3 o'clock, that's the deal for group work. Nanri if 4 o'clock elo already running, I permit a moment.”

“Apqa does not make elo.” Revan blinked his eyes side by side while menoel Bianca's chin.

Bianca immediately glared as she pursed her lips making Revan laugh and tease her back.

“See you later afternoon ya.” Bianca preceded Revan and waved her hand.

Revan nodded his eyes back as Bianca looked at him and was met with Bianca's scorn.

Arriving at the class, the Goddess had prepared a seat in the middle row. Attending college in the hours after lunch is a struggle. The struggle against sleepiness.

“Bi, what's the same as Revan ? I think it's serious.”

“Regularly discuss SMA friends.”

“Nanyain Devano news ?” Dewi nudged Bianca's shoulder while chuckling.

“Iihhh Devano has ended its episode.”

“Elo kira drakor or soap opera after the show which is almost finished episode.”

“Not nearly, but Devano's story does end right after High School.”

“Yah make the sequel dong !”

Bianca turned her head and sneered at the Goddess who was still laughing teasingly.

“Elo suppose hollywood movie made sequels ?”

Their conversation stopped because the lecturer had already entered the classroom.

At 3 pm Bianca which this time is not a group with Dewi gathered with her friends to do the task. They chose a place in the back garden of the economic faculty which was very shady and comfortable to gather. The material they chose about one of the criminal cases that became the current trending topic.

4.15 Hours notification message sound heard from Bianca mobile phone. The girl immediately picks up from inside her sling bag and finds a message from Revan telling her that she is done with her class.

Bianca replies to Revan's message and asks him to wait at the cafe across campus. Bianca will be there in 15 minutes.

And this is where they sit facing each other at one of the tables that are a little corner so they can talk more freely.

“Sorry late.” Bianca took a seat opposite Revan.

“Almost I stay.” Revan answered with a face made to look upset.

Bianca just laughed and ordered food and drinks at the waiter who approached their table.

“The stage was almost finished. So complete first so that the compile part of the report can be finished.”

“Kalo clock as soon as kelar why not just go back home ? So tomorrow morning wake up at home.”

“You said what the hell is really tumben ngajak meet like this ?”

“What's elo still like to exchange news with Devano ?”

Revan put down his iced coffee cup while asking Bianca questions.

“Why ? Elo kangen ?” Revan replied with a wry smile.

“Ngak.” Answer Bianca quickly.

Bianca thanked him as the waiter delivered her food and drink order.

“Continue asking elo wondering I'm still the same relationship Devano not ?”

“Elo have a girlfriend ?” Bianca answered Revan's question with a question.

“Ngot !” Answer Revan quickly.

Bianca who started to enjoy her food and drinks caught the nervousness on Revan's face. But the guy in front of him was still trying to be relaxed.

“Yakin ?” Bianca advanced a little of her face while staring at Revan full of probing.

“Hmmm.” Revan nodded. At first glance he turned his gaze when he got a gaze from Bianca. His hand returned to take the glass filled with iced coffee.

Bianca kept quiet and enjoyed the meal. The corner of his eyes was still stealing glances paying attention to Revan's attitude.

“Elo is so weird. Elo questions not usually.” Revan knitted his brows.

Bianca just kept quiet and still enjoyed the food until it ran out.

“Don't say elo like me ?” Revan asked in a soft tone.

“For sure why ?” Bianca replied casually and enjoyed her yakult iced orange.

Revan immediately laughed as he shook his head.

“Not elo several times say the same I even the same Goddess also if Devano is my past and elo is my future ?”

Bianca put down her glass and looked at Revan with a serious face.

Revan was silent for a moment without returning Bianca's gaze.

“Elo has not amnesia right, Van ?”

Revan turned his face back to Bianca. Bianca catches no unease there but she pretends not to know and continues to stare fixedly into Revan's eyes.

“Udah almost 3 years we are pretty close. And not only Goddess, but Mia and Della have also told me to open my heart to others, especially elo.”

Bianca paused while her hand played the dew stuck to her glass.

“And after so long, I thought there was a point too. All this time not because I can't move on from Devano, but because I'm afraid to like guys again.”

Occasionally Revan cast a glance in the other direction or looked down at his iced coffee glass.

“But elo attitude makes me dare to learn to open my heart again. I am sure that a guy like Elo who is sincere and caring will definitely not make me disappointed.”

Revan took a deep breath and returned Bianca's gaze with a feeling that was not happy or excited. Though as Bianca said, not only once Revan had said that he was the future of Bianca and it was also said in front of Dewi and her High School friends.

“Revan,” Bianca touched Revan's fingers holding the glass.

“Can I like elo and make elo my future like elo say ?” Bianca said softly and softly.

Spontaneous Revan widened his eyes and pulled his hand that Bianca was holding. Guys who are usually undercooked and never run out of talk suddenly become mute. His heart was still shocked to hear the words of Bianca, let alone looking at the girl close to him almost 3’ this year was smiling sweetly.

“Bi..”

“No need to answer now.” Bianca immediately cut Revan's words.

“Gue...” Revan looks confused to give a statement or answer.

“Gue must return to kost.” Bianca glanced at her watch.

“Practice me yes... Again savings.” Bianca smiled as she blinked her eyes side by side.

Revan simply nodded and still did not utter a single sentence. He saw Bianca wake up and after slinging her bag Bianca said goodbye while waving her hand.

“Thanks yes .” Bianca patted Revan's shoulder as she passed.

Revan was still sitting for a while playing his coffee glass.

“Can I like elo and make elo my future like elo say ?”

Bianca's question is not to create a sense of happiness and deg is like someone who accepted his love, but rather to feel anxious and confused how to respond.
