Red Velveit
Chapter 19's
After wrestling for a long time with his own thoughts about Nico, suddenly Sheina's phone raises a new notification that seems to come from Instagram. He then opened the application and read what notifications he received.
_____________________________________________
@nicoelang start following you. 10seconds
_____________________________________________
Sheina's eyes grew bigger. Surprised at what he sees now. Nico followed his instagram? Is that true? When he and his teammate were talking bad things about Nico, was that guy trying to be friends with him? Sheina shook her head not understanding.
A notification came in again.

Shei Follback. 20:31
_____________________________________________
While reading the Direct Massage she had just received, Sheina held her breath. He then glanced at Oby, Rashi, and Natsi who were still busy talking about Gandra Production.
"Yesterday I accidentally went to class IPS 3, then continued to meet Faras, I saw him again edit the video. Crazy one! very ugly edit," Oby explained with a happy laugh.
"Faras Gandra's editor? He's mah without Nico there's nothing" said Rashi in a trifling tone.
Sheina then looked back at the phone screen. Looked not at the desire of Nico's message. What should it be now? Is he friends with his own enemies? A huge dilemma was burning in the heart of the girl. But deep inside Sheina's little heart, she desperately wants to be friends with Nico.
"Lo why, Shei?" natsi asked after he closed his laptop screen. Maybe Natsi asked like that because he saw Sheina's eyebrows are getting down and her countenance is getting bent.
Oby stops talking to Rashi, turns to see Sheina. "Sadly because it has not been given to drink the same Rashi," Oby chimed with a smile jail.
"Geez!" Rashi patted the forehead. "Gue forgot. Sorry, Shei."
"Eh?" keget Sheina, "no, I'm not sad about anything, seriously." Sheina tried to smile even though in her mind a dilemma was still burning.
Without answering Sheina's words, Rashi immediately rushed towards the kitchen. Get a little drink for Sheina who already wants to come to her house these nights.
Sheina locked her phone. He cannot decide today. Better, he's chatting with Oby and Natsi right now.
"Gue is done. What time is it now?" tukas Natsi after he put the laptop in the bag. Natsi twists the view looking for the presence of a clock in Rashi's house.
Rashi then came along carrying a tray containing a glass of warm tea. "Hour half-nine, Nat," answered Rashi Saraya giving the glass to Sheina. Sheina thanked me.
"Udah malem. Go home, "take Oby while throwing the keys in hand. Makes a rather bricy sound in the TV room.
Everyone nodded in agreement to Oby's words.

Sheina started tapping her fingers on the screen to reply to messages. A bit stiff from the shock Nico would tell him to meet. After the followback application is not fulfilled, will Nico be okay?

Yes brother. 06:20

Now, Sheina could only hope that the guy wasn't upset with her because he only read her message yesterday. And now Sheina hopes that when she meets later, Nico does not discuss the message on her Instagram. Hope so.
***
The break bell had sounded, the maple teacher had also left the classroom, let alone the one Sheina was waiting for? He should have gone to see Nico. But his heart still felt reluctant to go there. Yes, Sheina is scared.
After a few minutes of struggling with her thoughts and rejecting some friends who took her to the cafeteria, Sheina's decision was finally made. He had to meet the class.
Sheina then walked towards the perpus without any feelings of hesitation for a second.
"Everything will be ok, Shei," Sheina said calming herself down. He took a deep breath and began to open the door.
Hmm.. smell of books. The library's distinctive aroma gushed into Sheina's nose. Sheina's calm is up 30 percent. Cold air AC may also affect it. He started to wander every corner of the place. Walk from one book room to the next. When he arrived at the fourth room, he saw Nico. The guy was engrossed in reading a book - which Sheina did not know was a book - while standing on his own.
"Sister," called Sheina after she approached her.
The cowo turned his head, then smiled, "Hi Shei, just arrived?" asked Nico without any look of annoyance on his face. Even his gaze was very warm.
Sheina nodded, "Once are your nungunya?" he begins to get comfortable with Nico and forgets his fears.
The guy laughed, "Call my name, it's so stiff that it feels like you're calling sister" Nico replied without having anything to do with Sheina's question.
Sheina scratched her bumbling head, "Yes sister."
"Nor again?" Nico looked at Sheina in disbelief.
"Eh, Sorry... Nico," he said, smiling to the point of showing his teeth.
Nico ruffled Sheina's hair suddenly, "Funny deh lo," Nico said, "By the way, you bring the book right, Shei?"
"Take it," he replied after allowing his hair to be randomly shuffled. Sheina also thrust out the thick book.
"Have you really finished reading it all?"
"Not yet," Sheina shook her head slowly.
"Lo want to know a lot about the world of cinema is not shei?"
"Yes, I want to."
Nico finger-picked, "Well, that's tomorrow weekend to the realcafe at ten o'clock. I'll be your book tomorrow, hehe."
Sheina was confused at first, but finally she knew what the guy meant, "meaning all my questions about the movie are there all the answers in elo?"
"Absolutely!" exclaimed Nico while smiling amusedly, "So, don't forget to come."
"Ready, book!" reply Sheina while calling Nico jail by the name of "book"
"Heh, tomorrow I'll be the book" Nico said. And that made Sheina laugh. Nico saw Sheina's laughter. A laugh so sweet and not made.
"Don't be noisy!" firmly the mother of the perpus guard arrived and it almost made Nico jump so shocked. He was surprised because somehow he could get swept away with the happy laughter of the girl in front of him.
Sheina covered her mouth with a palm," Foul me. Let's just go out, yuk," Sheina asked the guy.
Nico, who was still confused as to why he could be pensive just because of the girl's laughter, finally nodded. And they both left from there.
"Gue almost forgot we were in the tau perbus, Nic. This is the second time I've been reprimanded by the guardian mother. It used to be the same Ganan now elo. Surely my face will be dinget inget and I will be blacklisted from visitors perbus," complained Sheina who is now on the road side by side with Nico.
Nico laughed at the look on Sheina's face, which seemed very sad, "Will not be Miss Darsi is so rich, she knows very well."
Sheina looked over in surprise, "Okay? Banget?"
"Just like I doang anyway," said Nico while glancing his eyes ignorant.
Sheina slapped Nico's shoulder, "Ih lo mah! Kirain the guardian mother could be good."
Nico ruffled Sheina's hair again, "Bu Darsi mah won't be able to get angry with me. If Gandra Production does not make a film about the school library, the perpus will not be as popular now. Maybe it will be quiet and become a cobweb," joked Nico.
When Nico mentioned the name of the production, Sheina recalled that it was her enemy team. He again feels guilt for being friends with Nico.
"By the way, don't you, lo laper? The doorbell is still a long time ago" asked Nico while looking at his watch.
"No, Nic," Mood Sheina has changed, she now just wants to be away from Nico. Moreover, he was afraid if suddenly seen by his teammate.
"Yaudah nemenin I eat," said Nico then pulled Sheina's arm to go with him. Sheina was surprised to see her hand now held very tightly by the guy. There's nothing Sheina can do right now except follow where Nico's feet are.
Upon arrival at the cafeteria, Nico ordered two bowls of meatballs. One for Sheina and one for her.
"And I said I wasn't a laper, Nic," Sheina said slightly upset after seeing the meatball bowl land in front of her.
"Gue can't eat alone" replied Nico who is now eating a meatball, "I mean, if I eat yes there must be someone who eats also in front of me."
Sheina's eyebrows raised by one. He somewhat doubted the guy's words, "time anyway?"
"Eh daft," said Nico then stood up and headed to the meatball stall earlier. Soon he came again with a spoonful of salt. First, a quarter of the salt he put in his bowl and another quarter he put in Sheina bowl. The rest he put just.
"Salt?" sheina asked confused.
Nico did not answer. He picked up another spoon and started stirring Sheina's meatball bowl. After that he took a little bit of the sauce and then he tasted, "Perfect! Now you eat, it's just like it."
Sheina stared at the meatball and then turned to look at Nico, "Lo know where the meatballs are less salty?"
"I ate my meatballs first."
"Yes but it's lo meatballs, not my meatballs."
"Something you're trying to do together, it's going to be the same" Nico looked at Sheina, "this meatball is made together, if the other one is not salty, the other one is not."
Sheina nodded, trying to digest Nico's words.
***
The air was very fresh this morning. Sheina knew it because she opened her window and let the wind fill the room. On holidays like this, opening a window is a rare activity that sheina does. If only Nico did not invite her to the cafe, Sheina would now be busy rolling on her bed. Will not let the light of the sun and the morning wind disturb his sleep.
Sheina looked at her face in front of the mini round mirror that was on the table. Then he picked up the cream and patted the cream on the face. He is now bathing, wearing his choice of clothes and is now giving a touch of thin makeup on his face.
After all the preparations were in good taste, he immediately rushed downstairs. As she walked down the stairs, Sheina passed Sayni. Sayni looked at him and smiled meaningfully. Sheina had not yet asked what was going on, Sayni had already moved away. So did mother. When Sheina was about to go to the mother, the mother just smiled at her. And that smile was not what it used to be.
"What the hell is Bun? How are all the freaks now?" sheina asked could not bear the confusion.
Mother is still*** smile, "Don't come home late, baby," replied the mother to divert Sheina's questions.
Sheina clucked, "ih Mommy mah, yes deh bun," Sheina said as she crucified her hand.
After getting the key, Sheina rushed out. But, as Sheina closed the door of the house, she saw a car parked in front. A man on the phone was also seen standing next to the car. Who her? Sheina asked inwardly as the man turned his back on her.
As if hearing Sheina's question, the man turned his back and smiled at her. With her right hand still sticking the phone to her ear, the other hand she used to wave to Sheina.
"Have the dress finished? Long time too yes," Nico chuckled, "but by the way mother's tea is very good."
"Tea? Mother's made?" Sheina thought for a moment, "so you've already entered my house?"
Nico nodded casually, "Yes, I said to Mommy to take you to the cafe bentar. But, you're long in the room. So I'm waiting outside" explained Nico.
Sheina finally found out why Mother and Sayni kept smiling. The guy in front of him is the cause. I don't know what's on your mind now.
"Yuk off!" take Nico while opening the front seat door for Sheina to enter.
Sheina then nodded. Yesterday Nico didn't ask her to go together. So Sheina thinks she's going to the cafe with her bike. But now why did the guy pick her up? Sheina shook her head, not understanding. Sheina would not want to get into the car whose door has been opened by the owner.
When Sheina was perfectly seated and the door closed, Sheina immediately felt... Smell coffee! Sheina Kontan closes her nose. It turns out that Nico's car fragrance has a coffee scent. The very scent Sheina was afraid of. He did not like coffee the most. If the coffee is mixed with sugar or milk, the bitter taste is still there. Sticking on her tongue won't even go away. And although he did not drink coffee just inhale the smell, he still imagined the bitter taste. So Sheina closed her nose.
"Lo why?" ask Nico who is now ready to start the car.
"No, no problem" Sheina opened her nose. He doesn't want to be judged strangely by that guy.
Nico gave a small nod, then refocused on the streets.
"Shei," call Nico, "are you going to the realcafe or to my favorite place?"
Sheina who was busy breathing so as not to inhale the smell of coffee, then turned her head. "favorite place lo.. also gapapa," he replied.
Nico looked confused while occasionally watching the streets, "lo kok stammered, lo why?" tanyanya felt awkward with Sheina's behavior.
"No," Sheina shook her head, flinching, "go no shit."
"Correct?" ask Nico less trust.
Sheina nodded sure.
"Okee skates to my favorite spot. I guarantee you'll love that place Shei."
Sheina nodded again, trying not to make a sound so that the smell of coffee was not inhaled much by him.
"Oh yes Shei, please take my candy dong in the car drawer," pinta Nico while pointing at the drawer in front of Sheina with her chin.
"Okee," Sheina opened the drawer and picked up the legendary gum that was usually sold in a stall near Elementary School.
Sheina smiled amusedly at the candy she now had in her hand, "lo still eat this candy?" the question is not to believe, "this is a candy that each wrapper has a letter and if you can cuddle the five letters it can be a gift, right?"
Now Nico chuckles, "yes, even I've seen all the wrappers. But the fifth letter I haven't seen yet."
Sheina wanted to laugh at that time, but she paled because the smell of coffee added longer stinging. Sheina then gave the candy to the guy next to her.
"Bukain also yes, my hands can not be separated from the steering wheel," said nico, "unless you want me to hit a tree, hehe," he joked.
"Lo mah! Don't talk about it. I open it, '" Sheina opened the red gum to Nico. After seeing the candy open, Nico opened his mouth and said "Aaaaa..."
Sheina is shocked to see Nico open her mouth, but after realizing that Nuco really has to focus on driving, she wants to help Nico eat the candy.
"Thanks" said Nico, thanking him for chewing the gum in his mouth. I don't know why that candy is so sweet in Nico's mouth right now.
A few minutes later, Sheina and Nico arrived at their destination. A towering hotel building greeted them first.
"Hotel?" sheina asked confusedly.
"Udah follow me alone," said Nico then took Sheina's hand. During her walk, Sheina stared at her hand which was being held tightly by the guy. And without realizing it, Sheina's heart is now beating faster than usual.
After walking quite a distance and riding the elevator, the two of them reached the final destination floor. Slowly the door opened and featured a restaurant in Rooftop.
"Excuse me sir, what message would you like?" ask one of the servants.
"As usual, Mas," answered Nico kindly.
The waiter nodded, "mistress?"
The madam? Sheina was surprised for a moment, and then she tried to look ordinary"Samain aja," Sheina replied in the end because she honestly did not understand the names of the food in this restaurant.
Now, the two of them were already sitting at one of the most strategic tables. It is said to be strategic because of its location which is very targeted by many people. The table is on the edge of the building, with a view directly facing the sunset when the time comes. But it's only eleven o'clock at noon. So there is only a view of the city that is enveloped in the heat of the sun.
"Lo comes here often?" tanya Sheina started the conversation.
"Yes, even so often, all the waiters here know my favorite food. And I also memorized their names" replied Nico.
"Oh yeah?" Sheina then looked around, leaving every corner of the restaurant that was half part of it really was not roofed. From the decor of the restaurant, it is already very noticeable that this restaurant is expensive. Especially when Sheina saw the menu. The price displayed there was flat above a hundred thousand. Even Sheina had thought whether the money in her wallet would be enough to pay for the food and drinks that had been ordered earlier.
Is Nico that rich? The hangout is just like where the managers spend their lunch, really not a place for high school children, inner Sheina is not out of thought.
"Okay, now I'm ready to be your book" said Nico who is now ready to devour the food in front of him that just arrived.
Sheina smiled amusedly, "Okay book. Just go straight?" sheina asked, answered a nod by Nico, "My first question is what does the world of film mean to you?"
"Gue thought you'd be asking a universal question," Nico chuckled, "So this question is for me?"
Sheina nodded, excited.
"Okay, I answered," said Nico, confirming his position, "in my opinion, the world of film is my second world. I can express all my anxiety in this world to that second world. And who knows my anxiety can help many people who have also experienced that anxiety. So, my anxiety is not only a shadow of the future but could be a work area that can help many people."
Sheina patted her hand slowly, "cool also lo answer," she said not expecting the guy's thought, "okay, proceed to the second question yes, yes, what are you rasain now after getting a lot of trophies from that lo movie?"
"Cup?" ask Nico to make sure.
"Eh, sori sori, I mean, appreciation," Sheina replied confirming her words.
Nico nodded in understanding, "It's normal."
"Okaya?" sheina asked in disbelief.
"It is ordinary. I'm used to being rich."
Sheina's gaze looked up, looking at the blue sky with its glare, "Gue wanted to do it" Sheina said.
"Where?"
"Yes, I'd like to get rid of the 'ordinary' feeling when I get a trophy."
Nico still looked at Sheina not understanding.
Sheina smiled bitterly, "Funny yes, when I really wanted to have a trophy, you were even ordinary when they got it."
"lo never had one... A chalice?"
"Gue's been doing it all sorts of things, Nic. I've learned to be one of the participants in the math or biology or physics Olympics and other lessons. But I was pushed. I also participated in a short story race to represent my class, but there I even humiliated them. Now, I'm trying to run a short film race with Rashi and I don't know if I'm going to win the trophy or fail again."
Nico looked at Sheina sedu, he was reminded of his past. When he felt the world of film was not his passion. He had failed many times while taking part in various short film races. He even got a sneer from his friends when he saw the results of his film was very ugly. But his parents still forced him to wrestle with the world. So that he would not want to have to explore and rule the world.
"But gapapa if I fail again. I've often fussed about it and I'll definitely get a feeling of 'ordinary' when I get another failure," Sheina paused for a moment, "just the difference, you 'ordinary' when dapet trophies, "Shein quiet for a moment, and I was 'regular' when I failed."
"Shei-" Nico was about to refute Sheina's words, but the girl cut off Nico's words. Trying to end the topic of conversation that does not want to be discussed for long by him.
"So where did you get to?" tanya Sheina tried hard.
Nico let out a sigh of resignation, "The second question," he replied.
"Yes, now the third question. What-" Sheina said came to a halt because she heard her phone suddenly ringing. He checked it and it was Ganan who called. He wanted to lift it up but Ganan would definitely ask where he was. Sheina doesn't want Ganan to know she's with Nico. But Sheina also did not want to lie to Ganan. What should he do now?
The ringing tone stopped. Leave silence in the restaurant area. Nico, who had seen Sheina before, hesitated to ask why she was just staring at her phone and not answering the call. Nico even had time to ask in his heart who the caller who had made the look of Sheina's face turned into a ruffled.
"Gue to the bathroom first yes," said Sheina arrived.
"Yes," replied Nico.
The ringtone was then ringing back. Sheina had come a long way to the bathroom. Nico looked at the phone. He hesitates and takes it.
Gannan? nico asked inwardly after reading the name that was plastered on the screen. Then she shifted the green button.
"Shei, where are you?" ask Ganan from there.
"Sorry, Sheina's back in the bathroom."
"Lo who?"
"Gue-" Suddenly the phone was taken from him.
"Why did you pick up my phone?" sheina asked after she turned off the call unilaterally.
"Gue thought it was important."
"No, no."
"Oh okee" said Nico. He felt somewhat guilty for raising a call that did not belong to him.
"Now, go on to question three huh?" sheina asked after the two of them fell silent for a few seconds.
"Hmm, what if now I change who asked elo Shei?"
"Ask me?" sheina asked confusedly, then she sighed, "have you, you want to ask me what?"
"Where is your short film project like that of Oby?" nico asked without pointing at any expression.
At first, Sheina was surprised that Nico would discuss the production, but then, she tried to be normal in front of the guy, "It's good, too" Sheina replied before she drank lemon tea in front of him, "if lo?"
"Gue's? Do you know I'm in that race too?"
Hearing Nico's question, Sheina almost choked. He completely forgot that the guy did not know that he already knew Gandra Production until the ins and outs. Sheina could only grimace. Smiling to make everything feel fluid, "Oby ever tell a little story, if you go to the same race, the same we, hehe."
"Oh," Nico nodded in understanding, "my group almost broke because of the race. We argue more often in everything. Starting from the storyline, angel camera, lighting, editing, and everything. This has never happened in my film before. I don't know what Shei should do. I feel the longer this film is forced to be made more and more because of the storyline. So we decided to stop running that race, "Nico's down. It was obvious that he was now feeling desperate. Film is part of his soul. But now, the film had almost split his team.
"There's a way out, Nic." Sheina tried to calm Nico down. A sincere smile was painted on his face. And Nico saw that smile for the first time. A smile that looks very... Sweet.
Nico's eyes didn't blink for a few seconds. It was as if her eyes were trapped by Sheina's unbeatable curvature of the lips. Her smile this time added to Sheina's beauty many times over.
"Hm... Nic?" tanya Sheina breaks Nico's daydream. Sheina was a bit confused, why the guy was silent after he encouraged her.
Nico flinched, moving both his eyes in all directions. "Sori, sori," he said nervously. He then cursed himself in his heart. Why could he be so stupid as to stare at Sheina for so long? Why were his eyes unable to control just now? Why would...
Drrtt... Drtts...
Nico's phone is vibrating on the table. Not waiting for a long time, Nico immediately grabbed it and shifted the green button on the screen.
"Where? Dah finished?" ask someone from there.
