Jedarr!!!
Rumbling sounds mixed with lightning sounded to each other. Heavy rain poured across the city this afternoon. But everyone's life continues.
Seemed far away by the roadside near the red light of a middle-aged man selling satay. Yep… anyone would feel hungry when imagining food that comes from goat meat which is how to cook it by being stabbed and then baked on the embers and then served complete with rice and peanut sauce and soy sauce.
“El, buy sate yuk hungry nih from lunch has not eaten.”
Bring Queen. The atmosphere of the cafe is a lot of visitors and they should not be able to leave the cafe before 16:00, afraid that at any time there are customers who come in a number that is not small.
“Queen, we're still working now. Can't just go out cafe dong.”
Denying Elizia.
After the arrival of Elizia and Angga to the house some time ago, the Queen finally wanted to mingle and make friends with them again and more often play in the cafe, elizia and the Queen decided to apply to work as waiters.
“Eh really, our lunch hour until losing the same customer who came because of heavy rain earlier. I'm really hungry El.”
Grumbling Queen, he carefully gave orders to customers sitting on rows of chairs by the window.
“El see it, the smoke only smells up here.”
Further.
“There is a Queen. You can go crazy for a long time.”
Said Elizia cynically.
“Mas Angga permission to come out for a while yak muk buy sate.”
Said the Queen when in front of the cashier.
“Yasah please.”
Angga replied briefly.
“Siap mas Angga thank you.”
The Queen cheerfully rushes off her apron and out of the cafe, before opening the door to Elizia with a sinister look.
“Nitip.”
Elizia said this time she could no longer hold back her hunger.
“Cih. Okay.”
...###...
There were several people talking behind the Queen. Like the voices of men and women who are no stranger to him, but not too clear because they collide with the sound of rain.
“Queen.”
Said the woman's voice. Instantly the Queen turned her head and there stood Cleo, Oca and Farid. With a judgmental smile, they cast a gaze only fixed on the Queen.
“Why call me?.”
Ask the Queen with a pounding heart. His trauma of their arbitrary behavior some time ago is still imprinted and will always haunt him when dealing with them.
“We want to hold you accountable.”
Farid.
“I?.”
The Queen asked this time, she looked confused.
“Yes because of you we are almost in DO, fortunately our parents quickly responded.”
Sela Oca without a second thought.
“Hei..”.
Cleo violently hit the shoulder of her close friend.
“Sick.”
Shouted Oca while holding her shoulder.
“Just you should apologize to us. You are wrong.”
Farid immediately interjected and stopped their quarrel.
“I'm never guilty, don't bother me, go there you guys.”
The queen dodged them and then again waited for the satellite order that would soon be completed. Responding to their nonsense will never be endless, the only way is to remain silent and give in, but that does not mean obeying all the fools they do.
“Hei Queen, how heavy is the apology?.”
Cleo slightly advanced her steps and then pulled the Queen's hair from behind.
“Come apologize.”
Seeing this, the satay salesman who seemed indifferent to what the four of them were talking about, immediately broke up Cleo.
“Neng don't be rude. If you are here just want to grab mending go there, or you call people.”
Cleo was silent as well as Oca and Farid. Without making a sound Cleo immediately signaled to the two friends to leave this place.
“Neng is okay?, why stay bae under that.”
Ask the father of the satay seller to the Queen who is still busy fixing her hairstyle.
“No sir, if they are fought it will even become.”
“Haih... kids base is still labile.”
“How much pack?.”
Ask the Queen when she receives a swish pouch full of some of the skewers.
“Twenty thousand neng.”
The queen gave a green sheet that read Rp. 20,000 inside, then rushed back to the cafe.
...###...
The atmosphere of the cafe seems a little more spacious than 10 minutes ago when the Queen was still there and served the customers who came. Eliza and Angga were sitting and chatting near the cashier table while unwinding them.
“Hei Queen why so long?.”
Eliza said when she realized the arrival of her best friend.
“Biasalah was queued earlier.”
Answer the Queen and take out the entire contents of the plastic bag she holds.
For a moment Eliza was stunned when she saw the Queen's wet clothes even though she was carrying a large umbrella.
“Kok your shirt wet Queen?.”
Eliza's chirps looked at the Queen a little curiously.
“Oh this was splashed with the car tuh whose speed is very fast.”
“Times anyway.”
“Iya El time I lied.”
“Eh, the satellite is considered so no dear tuh?.”
Said Angga who then interrupted the serious chat of Eliza and the Queen.
“I buy three servings, mas Angga take only one.”
Queen's Speech.
“Wih steady nih, thanks ya.”
They enjoy satay goats this afternoon in the kitchen to avoid the views of the customers because considering this place is a cafe and does not provide satay.

Tonight accompanied by snacks and warm tea and melodious music, the Queen is busy focusing on her gadgets and textbooks. Today there are no online classes but he is still preparing material for next week.
“Nak, it's night why haven't you slept?.”
Mother asked unwittingly already sitting next to the Queen.
“Not Mother, next week there is a presentation and I have to learn.”
“You want to tell me something about today?.”
The Queen was silent for a moment. Silent. His mind was only fixed on the incident this afternoon that Cleo had done to him. But it felt like such a thing he didn't have to tell me now.
“Why silence?.”
Gently, Mother stroked the Queen's hair. Like he had a feeling from the beginning that he saw his son run out through bad things today.
“Say the same mother nak.”
The queen takes off the headset attached to the ear, then justifies her sitting position.
“Actually the Queen was grabbed by Cleo Mother.”
Little by little, the Queen reveals all the events that have been passed through. Not only once did the Queen let out her tears because she could not resist the fret that filled her chest cavity.
“It's okay, next time you have to be more courageous to fight so that they don't get rougher with you huh.”
She hugged the Queen tightly.
