That night, Reva was pensively alone looking at her picture with Riana. Why should this be their friendship at this time. Everything had completely changed there was nothing else he could remember.
“Ri, I stay away from lo, because want mastiin gag there will be a low lo think like me. Why do you have to be that innocent and give it all the same jeremy?” muttered Reva regretfully.
And what makes Reva more regretful is that he could not be beside Riana when Riana slumped.
Reva sighed deeply, her mind constantly linked to Riana. He searches for Riana's phone number and starts calling her, but Riana's number is off. Many times he kept repeating it, but many times it was also just the voice of the operator who answered Reva's call.
Reva got out of bed, made a glass of milk to go to bed early. While enjoying a warm drink in front of him, he looked at his laptop screen that was still on.
“Tok tock!”
A knock distracts Reva. Reva glanced at the wall clock in her room, it was almost 10 p.m. He opens the door immediately.
“Raka?” exclaimed Reva when she saw the figure of Raka standing behind the door.
Raka was still wearing her work suit, with a not-so-fresh look. It seems like he's been experiencing something that makes him dizzy.
“Hay, have you eaten malem?”
Raka lifted a swipe of food she was carrying and showed it to Reva.
“Log in..”.
Reva opened the door wide and let Raka in. This is the first time Raka has seen Reva's residence. A bed that only fit one person, with a dressing table and a work desk next to it. A few steps from there is a bathroom that is blocked by wooden partitions and separates it from a small room that only fit one carpet. And there's a small kitchen in the back, right on the back porch of Reva's room.
“Sory, what makes up..” said Reva while taking a pad that he used to sit.
“The place is quite comfortable..” praise Raka who is still moving her eyeballs look around Reva's room.
There's a photo of Reva with a middle-aged woman on her dresser. They were smiling and embracing each other. Behind him, the little ones who were also smiling.
“They're my family.” Reva said when she realized Raka's gaze towards her photo.
Raka just smiled, he handed the ruckus to Reva. Reva could smell the fragrant smell of the food Raka was carrying.
“Hopefully lo like.” Raka.
“Whatever it is, the important thing with rice, surely I like.” Excited Reva who immediately went to take the plate and serve the food.
Raka was just speechless, she looked at Reva who was busy moving food onto the plate.
“Why are you guys so similar?” raka's mind involuntarily arched a thin smile at the corner of her lips.
“Yuk eat!” exclaim Reva with spirit. Raka just nodded.
They started enjoying dinner. Raka looks very hungry, Reva suspects that all day Raka must not eat.
“How do you work? You're all right?” ask Reva suddenly.
Raka stopped her chewing and her attention turned to Reva who was looking at her warmly. That gaze, that gaze always made Raka feel shady and familiar.
“This is the first time you have news of me.” Sahut Raka smilingly looked at Reva.
“Ya after work, it seems very busy. I was like a real employee, until I forgot to eat everything.” Bright Reva who tried to control himself so as not to dissolve in Raka's gaze.
“Yes, it was busy. Stack work and a lot to take care of.” Raka put food back in her mouth.
“But, you also have to take time. You have to have time to eat, make yourself cool so that the gag is too stressed. So it works enjoy.” Cerocos Reva with his 3-minute lecture.
“Eat the same lo...” Raka carried her sentence and stared fixedly at Reva. “Yes, eat the same lo, drink the same lo, chat, laugh, dreadin lo story, is the way I love myself.” Raka said with full seriousness.
For a moment, the two's gazes met. It felt a subtle sigh that went along in the bloodstream of the two, making his heart beat erratically. Reva immediately averted her gaze, while touching her suddenly warm face. While Raka, was still staring at him feelingly.
“Gue seneng is beside lo re...” said Raka who returned to feed his rice.
Reva tried to smile and pretended not to understand the meaning of Raka's words.

Reva looked riled up, she kept rolling to and fro as she recalled her conversation with Raka. One side of his heart was happy but on the other side he was scared. He was afraid that if one day his heart was opened to Raka, he would feel a loss that might be more painful.
“Gue gag can start something that I may later have to regret or I forget. Because of the previous injury, it still feels sore.” Lirih Reva looked at the photo of the climber who was about to reach for edelweiss flowers.
Elsewhere, Raka was standing on the balcony of her apartment. He looked at the light of the lamp with a glass of warm drink. The corner of his lips curled a smile as he recalled Reva's eyes that were so soothing to him.
“Re, what do you also know that I am rasain?” lirih Raka while rubbing her chest that field.
He gulped down his drink little by little and felt the warmth filling his throat. He began to believe, his feelings for Reva were not just admiration, but a deeper feeling than that. In his heart he promised, going to step closer and closer towards Reva.

This morning Raka looked even more excited. Although he only slept for about 3 hours, but he slept deeply. With his long steps he approached Reva who was already at his desk.
“Morning re..” greet Raka with a big smile.
Reva only returned with a smile and refocused on her work. Raka looked at him for a moment, there was a difference with Reva's attitude today. Raka immediately sat in his place. From the glass gap in front of him, he could see Reva's face that was not covered by the monitor screen. One line of smile was seen on Raka's face, she was really excited today.
“Raka, you are called by Rudy tuh.” Said Dimas while patting Raka on the shoulder.
“Oh yes, thanks!” sahut Raka who immediately took some files he needed.
He took the time to look at Reva who was still bowed before finally passing into Rudy's room.
Reva breathed out violently. The breath he had endured since Raka looked at him before leaving. From the corner of his eyes he could see Raka who kept looking at him.
“Lo can re!” reva exclaimed as he raised his hand into the air.
“Can what re? Can you help me, right?” whispered Tita who was suddenly beside Reva.
“Gosh! Ngagetin by the way ta!” reva exclaimed while holding onto his thumping chest.
“Yes again, suddenly you have that spirit. Lo help me with my duties can gag re? There is data that gag I understand how to do it..” whine Tita with eyes that blink a few times.
“Gosh, lo ta behavior..” grunts Reva who smiles amusedly. “Ya already, lo first. I finished this first, I will go to the table lo.” Imbuh Reva's.
“Aaaa really yaaaa, I'm waiting. Thanks re...” said Tita while hugging and kissing Reva's cheek with anxiety.
“Ikutaann doong..” Dimas suddenly approached and spread out his hands.
“Yeee, ngareepp!” cetus Reva and Tita together. The three laughed crisply.
Reva refocused on her work and Tita returned to her desk, while Dimas was still sculpting while shaking his waist. He saw Reva and Tita alternating, being the only male among the 2 girls turned out to be not that fun.
“Re, later lunch with yuk!” dimas said suddenly.
“No! Busy!” sahut Reva who immediately moved to Tita's desk when the work was finished.
Dimas followed in his footsteps and stood before Reva and Tita.
“What is lo lo loli-liat?” fierce Tita when she saw Dimas who looked at her alternately with Reva.
“Yes, you are so fierce I am the same. What breakfast was this morning?!”
“Sayur same grenade fried gunpowder. Lo satisfied!”
Again Tita answered with ferocity. Dimas shook his head. These 2 girls in front of him were really hard to deal with.
“Lo why stand there? Sono woy!” continued Tita who felt disturbed by the presence of Dimas.
Dimas just whistled.
“Lo is not the same as dimas, later there will be even kangen lo.” Cetus Reva who smiled a little.
“Where is there?”
Tita opened her eyes and refocused on the screen that Reva was looking at.
