Sharing the Beloved

Suspicious Friendships

After finishing buying the book, Celline and Daniel returned to the bike. They do not go home immediately but stop by first to their favorite meatball stalls.

Daniel rode his bike leisurely. Not because he doesn't dare to play with speed, but because he is enjoying moments like this. The times when he could be so close to Celline.

After a while they finally arrived at a meatball stall that was quite crowded, then there was the inscription 'Dabbing' on the front.

Celline and Daniel immediately went in and ordered the meatball portion as usual. They also choose to sit in their favorite place, which is right under the fan.

"Tomorrow, where are you going?" ask Daniel.

"empty. Wh why? Wanna take the road?" Celline smiled at the horse while looking at Daniel. He already understood that if Daniel asked like that he would definitely take him out.

Daniel rattled the top of Celline's head. "Good, deh. I'm gonna take you home. I haven't played in a long time, have I?"

"Em ... How is it?" Celline pretended to consider the answer, even though she already knew very well what the answer was. Both of his eyebrows were lowered to tempt his best friend.

His behavior that seemed adorable made Daniel chuckle. Then his hand pinched both of Celline's cheeks. "Where, hm??"

Celline laughed as she rubbed her cheeks. "Ish, yes tomorrow we go."

Daniel only smiled as he watched the woman in front of him. Not knowing when to keep his feelings. Maybe until Celline thought of accepting a friend to be a lover.

Not long after, their order finally arrived. Celline directly pulled her bowl in front of him. The distinctive aroma of the meatball sauce directly makes his stomach more turbulent.

He poured whatever was on the table, starting from the sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, then the last is the chili. But when he was about to scoop the sambal, Daniel had already seized it first.

She understood, the woman loved spicy food. If he doesn't stop it maybe Celline will pour seven spoons of chili. It was unhealthy and would definitely hurt his stomach.

"Hat habit, huh." Celline pursed her lips, though so her eyes could not lie if she was pleased with the way Daniel treated her.

"Yes, a habit that may be long-lasting" said Daniel, who was only heard by himself.

"So what, Cell? Did you say the same to Daniel?" ask the voice that sounded from Celline's phone. Who else if not Nancy?

Nancy had bombed him with a message, but because she had just come home she did not reply. When he arrived at the hostel, he called Nancy.

"Udah, Nan. But yes, maybe he's still romantically courting" replied Celline who didn't know it was reality or not.

"Why is that, anyway? What is his taste?" Nancy asked again. It seemed like he wouldn't just give up until he could actually get Daniel.

"Em .. I don't know either. He never dated."

"Oh yeah, I want to find out more, huh." Nancy cut off the phone unilaterally. I don't know, maybe he felt less satisfied with Celline's answer.

Should Celline feel guilty? It's not like that. He is not willing if Daniel is with Nancy who likes to change partners. Then he himself still did not understand his own feelings.
