Only One Heart
Full house at Aika's
The afternoon was getting up in the evening, a tinge of orange with orange gradation coloring the western sky that looked so dazzling to every eye that looked. The girl closed her eyes, enjoying the faint breeze on the skin of her bare arm. The sound of the laughter of children who are running around combined with the sound of vehicles, like the music that became the background of Aika's slimyness in the corner of the park. The park housing complex where he lives close to the highway is indeed not a favorite choice to eliminate fatigue, but quite fun to be used as an escape from life that is sometimes not in accordance with the wishes. Opening her eyes, Aika sighed tiredly. Thousands of thoughts raged in his mind. One point of regret Aika felt. Just one point, yet it runs through the entire wall of the heart. Already hundreds of times, or even more, Aika cusses on Jess' crazy idea that she foolishly agrees with. It is not impossible that his father will tell this to some colleagues who asked Aika yesterday at a dinner together held at his home, a few weeks ago. As for Aika, what can a girl whose heart has been stolen do? Yes, Aika's love has been possessed. By someone who until now is still unaware of the pent-up feeling that he keeps secretly. Love at first sight that has resided long in Aika's heart. Unfortunately, someone Aika loves actually harbors feelings for other women. How shiny! “Woy! Nightmare aja.” A soft clap landed on Aika's shoulders. The girl jumped in shock and immediately fled her brown marbles at the perpetrator who even grinned wide behind her. As if not feeling guilty had made Aika feel her heart almost dislodged from the chest cavity. “Nice tau, girls daydreaming late in the afternoon!” Nina, the next-door neighbor girl who was also the same age as Aika, circled the sky-blue painted long chair that had started to fade, then landed her butt there. Next to Aika. Aika grunts rudely. “Ish! Usually, dateng-dateng always ngagetin people. Can't slow down what!” her surprise, which Nina greeted with a crisp laugh that sounded so melodious. From the corner of her eyes, Aika silently watched Nina's body language from her seat. Nothing is made up of his laughter, everything looks natural, unlike he who usually just laughs crisply just to appreciate someone. Karenina Santika is a girl with a beautiful face. His body was slim and tall, like those models who often roamed the tivi. Said his mother, Nina is also a cook, even though she graduated from the local state university with a bachelor's degree in accounting and a GPA of 3.75—different from the mediocre Aika GPA. And listen to the gossip of mothers who often buy vegetables in Mang Kosim who used to run in front of his house, Nina currently works at a famous restaurant in Jakarta as an assistant chef. Inwardly, Aika sighed in envy. It is only fitting that Santi, his mother, often compared him to the Nina. Nina is like this, Nina is like that. Well, that's compared almost perfectly like this. Yes ... surely Aika lost a landslide! “As of this week, I rarely see elo, deh! What's busy again?” ask Aika. Only to break the silence that began to reign among them. This Nina is not the type of girl who is as good as Aika, she is a bit quiet, so Aika must be smart to find chat materials, so Aika must be smart, if you don't want to end up with those who just sit around like a bego in a park that starts to be quiet. “Hehe .. I work now, Ka.” Aika mangosteen. That's the gossip he heard yesterday. “Where?” “PraResto, Ka. Ever eaten there?” Aika scratching her nape, misbehavior. “Gue mah, if the title is already a restaurant so, no dah! Dear money. Hehehe ..” Though originally a boke, not dear money anymore. Ah, unemployment. His financial fate is not good. Hhc ... Aika shook her head on her own given her current condition. “Kalo you now work where, Ka?” “Hah?” Aika's scratch on the nape of her back was getting louder. Inwardly cursing the clever mouth of Nina who had already asked so. What should Aika answer? Confess unemployment, prestige .... “Gue?” Nina nodded. Aika grinned the horse half grimaced. “Not working!” and finally, he confessed too. “Lho, how?” “Hehe ... Most watch anime like that!” excuses. In fact, no company is willing to accept it yet. “Maybe, elo have a suggestion?” “Mmm ...” there was a faint frown imprinted on Nina's forehead as she thought, her lips thinning and slightly drawn to the right, displaying one of the dimples on her right cheek. Making Aika even more envious. With a thoughtful face, Nina still looked beautiful and adorable. Twelve with Jessica. It's not like Aika if you put on a face like that. It doesn't look adorable, but it's delicious. “How if you work at my place, Na?” “I mean elo, so waiter, so?” aika asked half offended. He's an economics scholar, when did you skydive into a waitress? Just be right! “Yes, how else, Na. I was just an assistant chef. But, rather than idle, right? Instead, be part-time as long as you look for another job. The salary is good, really. Coincidentally yesterday there was one waiter who was dismissed. And now, the resto again needs people,” explained Nina, trying not to make Aika misunderstand the point. “Where?” “The work is till malem, yes, Nin?” Aika is getting interested. What Nina said was true as well. Than idle, there is no income. Mending looking for a temporary job, while then looking for a better job. “There was a shift change, really. Just be calm! “Titipin aja CV lo me tomorrow. How about, let me tell you.” “Ok .. ok!”
