Painting Images With Light

Part 42's

Bagio was still sitting in the food stall together with Citra, when suddenly there was a man who approached Citra there.

"Citra? ... I didn't know you were here!" The man acted familiar when greeting Citra.

"Hello, Ody!" sahut Citra, who seems to know well, men who even directly sit next to Citra, without the need to ask permission.

"Who are you here for?" ask Citra, to the man she had just greeted with the name of Ody.

"With our friends! Didn't I tell you yesterday, that we're going to get together today?! But you didn't reply to my chat anymore" replied Ody.

"Yes, sorry ... I had a job yesterday" Citra said. "I didn't know you guys were gonna make a promise to come here."

"Relse ...! You're this! The more here, the more busy, the more difficult to gather," said Ody. "So, who's your new friend?"

"Oh, yes! I forgot to introduce you both" Citra said. "Name as Bagio."

Citra's acquaintance named Ody then reached out his right hand, and Bagio immediately greeted him, and shook hands with him.

"Noldy! ... But, you can just call me Ody!" said Ody introduced himself, with a big smile.

"Bagio" said Bagio, who gave his name, before releasing Ody's hand.

"You want to join the rest of your friends?" noldy asked Citra, then pointed in one direction. "We're gathering over there!"

"Not yet, deh!" sahut Citra, after looking towards Bagio for a moment.

"It's okay, if you want to go with him. I can wait here."

Buru-rush Bagio said that, because according to Bagio's guess, Citra may reject the invitation from Ody, because of the presence of Bagio who was with him.

"Come with me! We haven't been together for a long time. Bagio may also want to get acquainted with our friends."

Ody seemed to remain eager to invite Citra and Bagio, to want to join a gathering with other friends.

"Well, right, Bagio?!" continued Ody while staring at Bagio

Citra also stared at Bagio, as if she was asking with her eyes, if Bagio would come with her and Ody.

In order to make it seem as if he was not just a hindrance, Bagio then nodded his head, agreeing to the wishes of Ody and Citra, to meet with their other friends.

"OKay! We're coming!" said Citra, after seeing the movement responds from Bagio.

"Well, that's dong! ... You guys wait a minute! I was planning to buy a drink" said Ody, then stood up from his seat, and approached the man standing at the food stall.

"Are you sure it's okay? If you feel bad, just tell me later. We can go straight from there," Citra said, when she left her and Bagio alone in the seat.

"Yes," said Bagio briefly.

Upon Ody's return from talking with the shopkeeper, Ody then invited Citra and Bagio, to immediately walk away from the place with him.

"Let's go!" said Ody, who immediately stepped out first.

By walking not far in the front, Ody who only wears shorts and bare-chested, paired with flip-flops, then followed by Bagio and Citra.

So did someone who worked at the food stall earlier, who was seen carrying a tray containing several drinks, which followed from the very back.

They continued walking, until they arrived at one part of the beach, which was not too far from the food stall.

Under the shade of two large umbrellas, there were three people sitting on cloth, on the sand of the beach.

One man and two women, who are Citra's friends, look happy when they see Citra coming there.

Now the cloth pedestal, has been occupied by six people, including Bagio, Citra, and Ody.

Bagio did not talk much, and just listened to the conversation between Citra and her friends, after Citra introduced Bagio, to all of them who were there.

Suddenly, there came another man wearing sunglasses, a hat on his head, short pants, and wearing a loose shirt patterned with flowers, which is also matched with a pair of flip-flops.

And immediately, Citra who initially looked as happy as her other friends, then suddenly put on a flat face.

The silent image, showing as if he did not like, was with their male friend who had just arrived, who was carrying a plastic bag in his hand, which seems to contain several cans of drinks and snacks.

Not just the image, which seemed to change suddenly.

Other Citra friends also fell silent, and all of them seemed to put on a tense face, as if they were all wary of something.

"Hello, Image!"

The man who then sat among them, removed the sunglasses that covered a small part of his face, then greeted Citra with a big smile.

"Hello, Leon!" Citra did reply to the greeting of the man she called Leon, but the look of Citra's face still looks flat.

According to Bagio's conjecture, the relationship between Citra and Leon, does not seem good, so Citra until it looks uncomfortable at that time.

Leon is a handsome blaster-faced man, with a mixed western appearance, and looks similar to Citra.

So Leon and Citra, look very prominent among their other friends, who have the typical characteristics of the local population.

"Who's with you?" leon asked, staring fixedly at Bagio, who was sitting next to Citra.

Suddenly, Citra held Bagio's hand and held it tightly, then said, "My girlfriend."

Bagio who was surprised by Citra's sudden movement, increasingly surprised by the words Citra, who said that Bagio was his girlfriend.

But according to Bagio, it is impossible for Citra to act like that, if there is nothing that makes it have to lie, and forced to do all that.

That way, Bagio does not want if he humiliates Citra, by refuting the statement of Citra, or rejecting the hand of Citra that holds his hand.

Bagio actually intends to help Citra, as much as possible at that time.

Soon, Bagio tried to calm himself down, in order to convince everyone there, as if Bagio was indeed dating Citra.

Leon smiled cynically, then said,

"All I ask is that, what's his name."

Leon really looks unhappy, when looking at for a moment, the hand of Bagio who is still holding the hand of Citra.

"Aren't you going to introduce her to me?" continued Leon.

I don't know what possessed Bagio at that time, until he became very brave, and seemed to be able to act well.

Without any hesitation, Bagio reached out his hand, invited Leon to shake hands, and intended to introduce himself.

Just like Bagio, Leon also did not look hesitant to welcome the hand of Bagio.

Even when shaking hands, Bagio felt that Leon squeezed firmly into Bagio's hand, which was in his grasp.

"My name is Bagio," said Bagio, with a faint smile.

"Leonard's." With a slight stomp, Leon removed his hand grip from Bagio's hand, after mentioning his name.

Seeing the gurgle of Citra and Leon, Bagio can draw conclusions, if the two people may have been involved in a relationship more than friends.

Bagio so no longer know, whether it is true what he is doing now, or not.

Yang Bagio knew, he only intended to help Citra, and if Citra really wanted to be like that, then Bagio would follow the current.

That's all!
