Second Time

OF MEMORIES

Dafa is seen jumping out of bed after receiving a call from Grace, she rushes to take a shower and gets dressed. Ken had just woken up because he heard a noise, he rubbed his eyes that still felt sleepy. Ken narrowed his eyes looking at the dafa who already looked neat early in the morning.

“Oho Daf, where are you going so early in the morning?” Ken asked while yawning.

“I'll meet Grace.” Dafa smiled very cheerfully.

“Huh, then what about me. Are you going to leave me alone.”

“Why are you so spoiled, hah.” Dafa laughed at Ken's always silly behavior.

“You forced me to come here, and then you just left me? Ken grunts

“How old are you now Ken?”

“27 years.”

“Why are you still so childish?” Dafa chuckles.

“Go Daf, you better go now than keep on teasing me.” Ken closed his eyes back and hugged the bolster.

“You rest Ken, I'll let you know later. I will also come home to accompany you to sleep later tonight.” Dafa heard his own words.

“Daf you're really annoying, I look like the ja.lang you hired and then you just left it.” Ken grunting. Dafa was only open to hearing Ken's curse.

...----------------...

Dafa drives a car to pick up Grace at her office. Grace had been waiting for him since, Dafa and Grace left the office without realizing there was a pair of eyes watching them. There was no conversation between them for a moment, Dafa turned to Grace who was smiling looking at the street they were walking through.

“Grace.”

“Ya?” Grace looked towards Dafa.

"Why did you skip the office this early?"

"I'm not skipping, I'm just taking care of some files to the office and I've done it all, this morning I'm just sorting out a little bit of the rest and done."

"If I were your boss I'd give you a warning letter." Dafa chuckles.

"Hey I'm not working in an office, now my main job is a project with your company. Let's just say I just came here." Grace laughs.

“Hmmm, so?

"Yes." Yeah." Grace nodded.

"Where are we going now?”

“Eat.”

“Where?” Dafa looked at Grace at a glance.

“Straight continues until passing through that building.” Grace pointed at the large building in front of them. Dafa just nodded, he knew this path that he and Ken went through yesterday while trailing Grace.

Grace continued to show the way, eventually they stopped at a cafe with large writing near the entrance, Dan Classic Cafe. This cafe is the place Grace visited yesterday. They enter the big cafe with old-fashioned and classic nuances, the visitors will feel the atmosphere of the 70s era while in this cafe. Tube televisions, radios, typewriters and other old-fashioned items adorn every corner of the cafe room. Grace and Dafa were sitting on a rattan chair in one corner of the room. They ordered some food, Grace and the waiters looked so familiar that Dafa was astonished.

“Did you come here often Grace?” Dafa asked after the servant left.

“Mmm, almost every day.” Grace nodded with a smile.

“Do you like this place very much?”

“Ya, this is my favorite cafe.”

“Really?” Dafa looked at Grace

“Menu here is very good and I really like, the retro atmosphere in this place is very soothing.” Grace looked around the room.

“You're so old, Grace.” Dafa chuckles.

“Hey this is not about old or young taste buds, but it's about heart-soothing memories.”

“Some of the people who come here will likely reminisce about the things they have been through while looking at these old-school items.” Grace explained.

“Really? Did you feel it too, reminiscing about your memories while here?” Dafa looked at Grace's heart-changing eyes.

“No.” Grace shakes.

“Why?”

“I hardly have any memories.” Grace looks sad.

“Do not have? Meanin?" Dafa pretended not to understand.

“I lost my memory.”

“Really? Why?” Dafa put on a surprised face.

“My father said sick and in a coma for a long time, when I woke up I did not know who I was, I did not recognize anyone.”

“What pain?”

“Daddy says only fever.”

Dafa nodded, knowing that Grace's father had hidden everything hurtful from Grace so that she would no longer feel hurt. Dafa looked at Grace's sad face, the girl always looked beautiful in the worst moods even though Dafa thought.

“Grace if you have no memories, you just remember me.” Dafa chuckles at Grace.

“What should I remember from you?” Grace's face turned cheerful again.

“Mmm may be my handsome face this.” Dafa put both palms on his cheeks and blinked his eyes flirtatiously while smiling sweetly.

Grace looked up at Dafa's behavior, she did not expect that Dafa would be able to talk to her.Now, a waiter came to interrupt their conversation by carrying various menus in Grace and Dafa's message.

“Nona Grace please.” The waiter smiled very friendly.

“Thank you, Pamela.” Grace returned the waiter's smile which soon passed after putting all the food on the table.

“Do you also know the waiters here, Grace?”

“Of course I know them, I even often visit the kitchen and cook with them.” Grace smiled proudly.

“Really? Is this cafe yours?” Dafa curious.

“Not, this cafe belongs to Daniel. Did you see the signboard up ahead? And Classic Cafe, Dan stands for Daniel.” Grace smiled.

“Daniel?”

“Ya.”

“Who? Is she your lover?”

Grace was immediately stunned to hear Dafa's question, “He's my best friend.”

“Are you very close to him?”

“Of course, already like brother.” Grace smiled broadly.

“Is he more handsome than me?” Dafa asked sillyly, his heart felt a little jealous.

“Grace back wide open to Dafa questions, “”Antara 11 with 12.”

“Who is 12? Oh of course I am. I'm really pretty." Dafa smiled to himself.

“You're really confident.” Grace laughed again at Dafa's behavior, and she was really happy to be around this man.
