Laughter is free, so don't hesitate. A person's charm will increase if they laugh often.

"You?" Unlike Bara, Dira was immediately convinced, this man in front of him was the one he had helped.
Smiling stiffly. He's in shock. In public places like this it is possible for anyone to meet anyone, it's just that Bara did not expect to meet Dira with a boy who called him "mama".
"It's the third coincidence."
"I don't think there's a coincidence up to three times." Bara smiled clumsily.
"Oh yeah, Dir, know me, my best friend, Rana."
Rana and Dira immediately shook hands and took turns mentioning names.
"By the way, thanks, yeah, take care of Kevin. I was really panicking about him. You must have been repotted."
"Ah, no, really. We're even happy to be able to eat with a kid as funny as him." Rana stroked the head of Kevin who looked very comfortable lying on Dira's shoulders.
"Kok, can you think he's here?" tanya Bara, who still has not managed to fully digest the scenery.
"Actually I've been going around looking for him. Report the security guard as well. I kept remembering, from then on he whined about eating a burger. But I said later, because it just so happened that there was another business with workmates. Uh, know what the hell ran away."
"Other times more attention, Ma'am," said Rana with a friendly smile.
"Yes. I'm so sorry about this." Dira kept stroking Kevin's back, making the boy's eyes even more cute. Looks like it'll be asleep soon.
"Oh yeah, let me pay, yeah." Dira was about to move to the cashier's desk.
"Eh, don't." Bara.
"But-"
"Seriously, it's okay!"
"Really?"
Bara nodded steadily. "Whoever get paid with a bottle of gasoline" he said.
Dira's little laugh airs for a moment. "Yes, if that's me first, yes. Coincidentally there is still business. Thanks again." Dira slightly lowered his head before turning around and exiting the restaurant.
Bara. His gaze pierced through the glass walls of the restaurant, trailing Dira with Kevin until the two were completely out of reach again.
"Are you okay?" Rana disperse the Bara reverie.
"Why indeed?"
"He's the one you mean Luna's dribble, right?"
Instantly Bara's shoulder slumped. The man then nodded weakly.
Rana patted slowly Bara's shoulder. "Go home, yuk!" bring later.
Bara turned around to pick up his phone on the table. The movement of his hand came to a halt when he saw the miniature Batman lying next to his phone. It belongs to Kevin, but it's impossible to catch up to him now. Bara chose to bag the tiny object with his cellphone. He can return it sometime.

Bara thought Bian was working on it, suddenly appeared in WA and invited him to meet. Such afternoon? But after the class broke up, Bara rushed to the parking lot and actually found Bian's car parked there. Bara immediately approached and knocked on the windshield upon arrival.
"What's up, Om?" ask Bara without further ado after Bian lowers the glass.
"I need to talk to you."
"What?"
"We can't talk here, right?"
"So?"
"Do you still have class?"
I saw his watch. "I've got less than an hour's worth of free time."
"Enough. Let's go up, let's find a comfortable place to talk."
"I'm not gonna get kidnapped, am I?" bara Chirps.
"Make what?" Tanya Bian flat. It's better to smile, or maybe laugh. The basic is the wall man. Stiff.
Bara clucked slowly while circling the front of the car to fill the seat next to the steering wheel.
A few minutes later they were already in a cafe not too far from the Bara campus. They order snacks and soft drinks for chatting friends.
"I read your story."
The coals that were siphoning drinks, almost choked. He didn't expect Bian to open this conversation with that sentence." Nice, no?" tanyanya enthusiastic.
"Yes .. appreciable. I didn't expect, behind the childish behavior you have that secretive thought."
Bara whining. "I'd rather be sure, Om. Good, yes good. Ugly, yes ugly. Don't be good."
Accepting the protest, Bian chuckled instead. "Yes, good," he later admitted.
"Well, right!" Bara patted his hands once, so happy to get direct praise. "I swear, today is one of the most beautiful days of my life. When else can direct compliments from a kayak Om? Also treated."
"Short of a second, people like me?" Bian cringing. "What am I?"
Bara sucked his drink a few times to simply relieve the throat before answering. "I'm sorry, yeah, Om it's kind of stiff." Bara closed his sentence with a wide grin, hoping that Bian would not be offended.
Bian.
"Instead, since I've known him, I've only seen Om laugh. Because I read my story, right?"
Bian just smiled amusedly while shaking. Maybe all the explosive behavior of Bara which actually makes Rana feel friendly with him. Or maybe even love him. Since the first Bian is very difficult to believe that Rana only considers Bara as a friend.
"If Om does need it, I can point to my other writings" Bara said confidently.
A fine wrinkle appeared on the forehead of the Bara.
"I really need your help."
The wrinkle was getting deeper.
"But before we move on, I'd like to ask you one thing, and please answer it seriously."
Bara began to be confused, where will this conversation lead?
"You and Rana are really just friends?"
"Yes, right."
"Thank God." Bian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why?"
"I like Rana. But since I'm his superior, all this time I was confused how to approach him. And honestly, I envy your closeness."
"Om too stiff, anyway," Bara said.
"Therefore, I need your help. I want to be closer to Rana outside of the employment relationship. At least make him comfortable."
"Mm ...." He seemed to think for a moment. "Paid, no, no?" sirapnya later.
Bian smiled amusedly while frowning his forehead. Really have to be patient dealing with Bara, but he was already very serious.
"Look, Om." Bara. "So, what can I do for you?"
"What do you think will make it easier for me to get close to Rana. If you can make him as comfortable as you are."
"Well, heavy too, yeah!" Bara tapped his index finger on his chin, pretending to put on a look while thinking hard.
Bian waited impatiently.
"Maybe his biggest problem is because Om just happens to be his top-she-"
"Wait." Bian. "Can't you call me?"
"Oh, okay. We'll rework." Bara pretended to be throbbing. "Maybe his biggest problem is because you happen to be his boss. Let's try to fix this side first."
Bian paid his full attention.
"Try you to stand."
Bian frowned confused, but in the end complied.
"Well, look at your looks."
Bian looked at his body. "Why?" tanyanya's confused.
"Aging." She was lying down while holding her stomach.
Bian scowled while sitting back down. "Damn it!" He folded his hands in front of his chest while putting on a look of annoyance.
"Sori." Bara tried to suppress the rest of his laughter. "Kan, you're the one who asked for help. You can, dong I'm honest." The remains of Bara's laughter still airs for a moment. "So don't be surprised if all this time I'd rather call you 'om'."
Bian back on his forehead. Ask for help Bara whether the decision is right or not.
"A boss doesn't have to wear pants plus a shirt, right?"
It doesn't have to be, but Bian chose not to answer.
"Especially for the size of the flower shop that needs a relaxed, fresh, and light atmosphere. What's wrong with dressing more casually? Age appropriate, Bro."
Bro? Bian didn't mind the new call. At least much better than me.
"So you think my way of dressing is weird?"
"It's not strange, but it needs to be made more soft. Because indirectly, a formal appearance like this increasingly confirms your position as a superior, making stiff when you try to interact with subordinates. Occasionally wearing jeans and sneakers, no problem, right?"
Bian looked pondering, he began to justify Bara's talk.
"Just start there, then. Because I'm also not an expert who has a myriad of tricks to approach someone." Bara grabbed his drink glass, sucked it several times. "If you want to get Rana, or any girl out there, the key is just one, be your self. So you don't have to be me to get close to Rana. Because I was originally like this. Whether you like it or not, I will stay like this. You must also have a side that can make others comfortable."
"Well, if I'm a grown-up I'm sure, the short story is really your writing."
"Basic! Didn't believe it before?"
Bian chuckles.
"One more thing, laughs like that. Free, right? A person's charm increases if they laugh often, you know."
"Soto!" timpal Bian's.
"No believe? Try to read it while laughing. Just don't be too late, ntar suspected gini." Bara forms a slash with the index finger on the forehead.
Once again Bian successfully made wide. Until here Bian can draw one conclusion, Bara is a pleasant person. Now that he had the answer to his question all along, why was Rana so comfortable with him.
"Behold, you seriously like Rana, don't you?"
Bian nodded steadily.
"Rightly dear?"
"More than anything else" Bian said.
"He's my best friend, you know. If you dare to mess around, it's the same with me."
"Ready!" Bian held out his right thumb.
