🌸🌸🌸

Ayunda and Reina walked hand in hand towards their class. Reina repeatedly glanced at Ayunda as if she wanted to say something.

"What do you keep seeing me?" ask Ayunda who began to be uncomfortable with Reina's attitude.

Reina smiled shyly while scratching her non-itchy head. "Ehm, that. I just want to know, how's Tony doing?" said Reina who was impatient to say it to Ayunda.

"I guessed it. My best friend, just needs information about Tony", said Ayunda, then he walked with wide strides without giving information about Tony to him.

"Aye... Ay", call Reina with a little run after Ayunda. "Why did you leave me?" exclaimed Reina with breath gasping.

"I'm bored, because you only care about Tony" Ayunda replied with a pouting face.

Reina frowned, "didn't you promise to get me closer to Tony!" reina's exclaim reminds Ayunda.

Ayunda was silent for a while, and remembered her agreement with Reina. "But you haven't helped me find the person with the initials A" said Ayunda, who Reina did not want to blame.

"Hmmm..." Reina tried to think back. "Don't you care about that guy anymore? Try to remember again", Reina replied confidently.

"Yes, yeah. I will keep my promise, but please don't talk about him every day, yes", Ayunda said.

"You're jealous, aren't you, Ay?" reina asked with a pinched gnash on her cheek.

"Aww", ringis Ayunda. "Sick REINA MAUDY ARASTYA!" sergeant Ayunda was upset, who was happily laughed at by Reina. Ayunda tries to retaliate, but Reina flees immediately. Eventually, a chase happened.

"Sih, still childish!" ledek Sherly who sees Ayunda and Reina who are chasing each other. "Why would Dafa like a woman like her? I'm sure he must have used some kind of a gun!" sherly Sermal.

"Yes, that's for sure!" exclaimed his best friend who had also noticed Ayunda and Reina.

"Come, we're going! Why also we watch their village behavior. It doesn't matter!" sherly exclaimed by inviting the two friends to continue their steps.

This afternoon at the cafe where Ayunda worked before, had been sitting waiting for Adrian and Ayunda at one of the tables in the corner of the cafe room.

"So old Alfian, brother!" yang Ayunda who always saw the clock that was circular in his hand, because he will have a class with a killer lecturer at 1:30 this afternoon.

Adrian looked at his sister with a smile. "Prophe dong. Maybe on the road again jammed", said Adrian while putting his phone back in his pocket. "I went to the toilet for a while, yes", Adrian said as he moved from his seat, which was responded with a nod by Ayunda.

Just now Adrian stepped a few steps, Ferdo has entered the cafe.

"Sorry, Yunda. The road was a little jammed" said Ferdo when he was just standing next to Ayunda, pulling one of the chairs for his grandfather. "Sir, meet this Ayunda" he said as they sat in their seats.

"Well", replied the grandfather in a flat tone, making his heart beat fast. There is a sense of worry, if their charade will be caught by the grandfather.

They ended up talking to each other, while waiting for their order to be served. There are many questions asked by the grandfather to Ayunda, but it can still be overcome by Ayunda. Ferdo smiled with satisfaction, because Ayunda was a very reliable person.

"Hi, Kek", greeted Adrian with a smile, when he had just joined them. "When is Grandpa going back to town B?" adrian asked who kept staring at the grandfather.

"Basin' bad boy! Don't you want to see me anymore?" asked the grandfather while looking hard at Adrian.

"Sorry, Cake. I was just kidding", Adrian said by shifting his body slightly, as waiters served their ordered food.

Then they enjoyed the meal on the table, there was not much chatter between the grandfather and Ayunda. The grandfather prefers to chat with Adrian, to let go of his longing. He already considered Adrian like his grandson Ferdo, even he never distinguished anything between Ferdo and Adrian.

There was laughter and interesting stories between their conversations. Without notice, the time of lecture hours with the killer lecturer Ayunda is only twenty minutes away. Ayunda felt hesitant to say goodbye when the chat still feels fun. He elbowed the older brother, as if beckoning, but Adrian did not understand the gesture Ayunda showed.

Ayunda began to take a deep breath. "Ehem..." Ayunda cleared her throat before saying it to the grandfather. "Sorry, Cake. Not to be disrespectful. Look, Cake... Yunda is still in college in a minute. And the staff is very disciplined. So..."

"Go" said the grandfather cutting Ayunda's speech, because he knew what Ayunda said.

"Thank you, Cake. Yunda said goodbye, yes", said Ayunda who had said goodbye to them in turn.

After Ayunda's departure from the cafe, the grandfather began to talk about Ayunda like a gossiping mother. He expressed his objection, if Ferdo is with Ayunda, because Ayunda is still in college which is likely to be completed next year. The grandfather wants Ferdo to get married this year, because the age of the grandfather who does not know how much longer. He wanted to see the great-grandson of his heir born to Ferdo. Even he wanted to carry his great-grandson later.

Ferdo who listened to the words of the grandfather began to worry. On the other hand, he did not yet have the right answer, to convince the grandfather.

"Rethink" said the grandfather with a serious face.

Adrian who also listened to the words of his grandfather, was also worried. He also tried to help Ferdo, by convincing his grandfather that his age would be long. "Grandfather, believe. I say this, not to go before God. I'm sure Grandpa will definitely have a long life, to be able to see Grandpa's great-grandson" Adrian said while persuading him.

The grandfather still disagreed with Adrian. The grandfather was convinced that his current choice was right, and the engagement was about to take place.

Ferdo was getting more agitated, he did not expect that the grandfather would not accept Ayunda as his companion. Adrian is also no less restless, he is confused why the grandfather like forcing Ferdo to marry Siska. Grandpa's nature looks unusual. It was like making a decision in a hurry.

"Are you sure?" adrian asked suspiciously.

"Grandfather is more experienced than you. Grandpa's so sure, Adrian!" exclaimed the grandfather who made Ferdo and Adrian look at the grandfather together without expression. They seem to be resigned to the decision of the grandfather.

"Grandfather is done. Do you still want to stay here?" he asked as he moved from his seat.

Ferdo and Adrian did the same thing with the grandfather, then they walked in the footsteps of the grandfather, but his thoughts and feelings still remained chaotic.

To be continue...
