“Ya whatever, I don't really expect anything else !!”


Soni left thunder who seemed to try to resist the disappointment with the attitude of their vocalist who is often absent this late.


Today the toffee band is doing their job well. The absence of vocalists does not diminish their passion for performing. At the end of their performance before they disbanded from the cafe. In between the time to relax thunder remembered with the promise of a girl on this day.


He smiled a little considering the events that were so memorable for him. He never forgot to keep his promise to the kind girl


After that night. Thunder goes to Caroline's house, wanting to gain clarity from Caroline's late absence. Caroline's house is located not far from where Stevanna lives.


Indeed, the area is famous for the student complex that many choose to rent a house there. Caroline's house seemed empty as the thunder called out to her. Moments later a sedan car stops with the appearance of Caroline with her boyfriend


Thunder looked at his best friend with a slight feeling of unease especially there was his lover. Caroline who looked slightly drunk looked at the thunder with a slight unpleasant feeling.


“guntur..ngapain you?” Ask Caroline


“Ehm. I want to talk to you, can you?”


“Ok jerk yes.” Caroline said while whispering to the lover who looked unhappy with the presence of Thunder at Caroline's house.


The two men pulled over to speak with four eyes


“Why tour,?”Ask Caroline


“Says you are sick. How can you go. ?”


“Hm,,.!”


“You are still the intention is not the same band we?”


“Hm..,” Caroline fell silent without answering


“Jawab dong, right kasian children who every day waiting for you. ?”


“tur.. I seem to just back away from the band...!”.


“Why? Reason dong. Can we discuss it together. ?"


Caroline paused for a moment to look at her best friend's face as she waited for an answer


“I.. I'm pregnant tour. It looks like I'm getting married to Jeremy.” explained Caroline as she mentioned her boyfriend's name


Thunder fell silent, he was surprised to hear the word. He saw the face of Jeremy Caroline's lover. They are not married. And he became confused.


“I also can't tell you what if it happened. Congratulations on your pregnancy. ?” thunder was a little surprised


“Sorry to me yes. send greetings to friends. When do I try to perform.!”


“Iya I must say. You take care of yourself and your baby.!”


“Thank you yes tour.”


Thunder was indeed shocked by what happened to Caroline. But what Caroline said was the end of her place in the toffee band. He left the two men with a feeling of sadness and happiness. Tonight something happened so short and so fast without surgery that it made him a little confused. But the thunder said in his heart


“toffee band will remain, the presence or absence of you Caroline. “


The sound of a motorbike was speeding through the cold night in a dream country that people call the island of gods.


The next day the thunder reported Caroline's pregnancy to the band's other best friends. Everyone accepted what happened to Caroline. That means they have to find a new vocalist to cover up the shortcomings of their band. Rasti does not mind being a vocalist but he always hopes there is a new vocalist soon. Today's rehearsals for their band went on quickly. They will gather tonight to perform at the cafe.


"i have friends, if you want, I'll take them" said Guntur


"yes, if you take it, we can't do it like this" replied Soni


"yes tour, let alone my voice is not for vocals" replied Rasti


"yes I'll see him later"


Thunder never forgot his promise to come to stevanna's house. That afternoon after training together. With the guitar next to him, he went to Stevanna's house. The sound of a ninja motor that stopped in front of the stevanna house gate made stevanna wake up from the daydream of the textbooks he read.


stevanna was at home, she was studying for the upcoming test in a few weeks.stevanna was so happy when she saw thunder appear at her gate. He quickly approached the white man.


“You?” Ask stevanna


“Hai.. still want dong same me?” asked Thunder


“Of course. Login yuk..!”


stevanna opened the door and thunder entered the motor. Then they both sat in front of the yard.


“What are you doing again?” Ask thunder


“I'm reading a book again, today it doesn't work?”


“Oh.. work anyway. I only get permission by noon. By the way neh.” thunder handed over a guitar for stevanna


“What is this.!”


“kan me uda promise to teach you music. Because you said you don't have a musical instrument! I'll just give you this guitar.!”


stevanna was so happy to receive the gift. He opened the black guitar jacket. The classic guitar is slim and blue. He immediately played the original tone and clang of the guitar's voice so tangled that it made the thunder that listened to him


“Eits.. don't be like that, wrong!” thunder


“Sorry I'm too excited and impatient hehehe!”


“This is me ajarin.!”


Thunder is very good at playing guitar. He taught patiently to stevanna about the tone that stevanna needed to know about the guitar passages. Stevanna was so eager to learn a lot with thunder. stevanna even forgot about the exams she was going to study because she was engrossed in learning to play guitar.


Both are swept up in the music. Stevanna was so amazed by the cleverness of thunder. But he healed the admiration by hiding looking into the man's eyes. And finally the wonderful lesson was over.


Stevanna brought a glass of cold water to the thunder that was gazing at the small garden in the yard. The tiredness ended quickly. And there was a small conversation


“Stevanna, tonight where?” Ask thunder


“hm. There's no show! Why?”


“You didn't stop by my cafe.!”


“Cafe you.!”


“Iya I want to invite you once to see the performance of our band. How!”


“Wah to. !”


“Ok then I'll pick you up.!”


“Siap. !”


Thunder paused for a moment looking at Stevanna. He wanted to say something, but his mouth was locked.


“kok diem ..!” stevanna


“I say goodbye first, must go home first. By the way your voice is good too. I'm sure you'll be a good singer if you practice often, !”


“time anyway.!!” Stevanna was embarrassed to not believe


“seriously.. I will listen to you from earlier sing.. if latian is better . I am sure you can be a singer. !”


“ah basic.. you haphazardly praise.!!”


“yuda then I say yes. !”


“ok..!”


Stevanna drove the man to the gate. He gave a smile while hugging the guitar he got from the thunder. The thunder left Stevanna. Stevanna looked at her beautiful guitar.


“I promise to you. One day I will prove that you were not in vain given to me!” stevanna said to the guitar.


What a beautiful voice


Tonight Stevanna dressed up neatly enough to wait for Thunder's arrival to pick her up. He wears a pink dress suit. With her hair left, she looked beautiful. The last patch of powder on his cheek coincided with the sound of thunder calling in front of his door gate. Stevanna stared for a moment from the window of her room facing directly to the main gate. He immediately went down and made sure he looked neat for the last time in the closet mirror.


Thunder stood silently staring Stevanna out of his house, he looked at the beautiful girl with a smile. Stevanna was embarrassed to show her face.


“i'm late, aren't you? “ Ask thunder


“ga. I just finished!”


“then so yuk.!”


Thunder tonight did not bring a motorbike as usual, he brought a car that belonged to his father. They immediately headed to the coffee shop. Along the way thunder told me a lot about his family. His father was a doctor who opened a public practice while his mother was a housewife who obeyed Hinduism. He has a younger brother who is studying in Yogyakarta


following in his father's footsteps. Thunder himself prefers to be a musician. His family took for granted Thunder's decision without any restrictions. Most importantly thunder does not half reach his goals.


who's Stevanna herself? I told him a short story about himself. Born into a family with a whole son and single-handedly became the daughter of a father who worked as a building trader. Stevanna went to college in Bali


because it is interested by his tourism compared to his busy lecture schedule. He prefers college while on vacation to his parents' choice in Jakarta that has been cramped. Everything went well. He was indeed interested in music, but did not have many friends who plunge into the world. Thunder is the person who became his first friend who music.


Both arrive at coffee cafes with an open exterior but have a large main room as their show venue every day. The end of this place is usually a tourist who likes a live show as he will do thunder and his friends. Thunder did not have much time at that time, he had to go immediately to the stage and Stevanna did not mind being left at a table whose position was quite interesting to see the look of the toffee band.


Some of the visitors came that night. Stevanna ordered a chicken steak and a little fries for dinner tonight. He gained more, because thunder did give everything special. How many times Stevanna clapped her hands to see the appearance of the band owned by Thunder which she considered good and cool.


Thunder looked at him several times with a smile, the other band members seemed to understand very well that Stevanna was a special person invited by thunder. Soni approached the thunder.


“who is it.?” Ask soni


“Mean me. Why?" asked Thunder


“very pretty.. know dong!”


“iya yes. Ntar abis show I know deh.. but inget ya do not macem macem!!”


“kayak don't know me only you!! Basic!!” cheered sonny


“because I know.. that's why I said don't macem macem!!!” soni is joking
