DANIAL has been tidy. A grey t-shirt was attached to his athletic body. Not forgetting to smear a little gel in the hair of the fat man rushed out to his motorbike. I haven't put a helmet on. The sound of a notification of someone's call sign is heard from Danial's phone. She frowned confused but not gradually. When he picked up the phone, he saw the name of one of his best friends listed there.

"This is why Vernon called again?" he said he included a more upset speech, "I've told him that I can't come because Maurine is banned," he continued with his tone. Even after Danial picked up the phone from his best friend, he still let out a tone of voice sign of being upset.

"What?" ask as briefly as possible.

"Why don't you come to the cafe?"

Danial put on a confused look. The phone in front of his right ear is taken back into consideration. He saw Vernon's name there. So why did he find Haris' voice? Put the phone back in front of the ear again. "Gue would've told Vernon before that I couldn't come."

"Reason?" Harris asked. "Tumben-tumbenan also you do not join. Moreover, this afternoon when you go home to school alone that we make sure we gather at the cafe. It's our turn to say you've just canceled your own plan." It was obvious that resentment was taking hold of Haris at the moment.

"That's what Bro is!"

"Gue will understand if you give a logical answer."

"It's less logical what my answer is to Vernon. Or Vernon hasn't sampled on you for the reason?" ask Danial. "Gue is not allowed to come with Maurine. Maurine also wants to be stopped by shopping."

"Serious for Maurine's reasons again? I think Vernon's explanation is just kidding doang. Can you be this sweet, too?"

"What do you mean?"

"Gue did not expect that you could be this cute so you are constrained by your own boyfriend. This is the umpteenth time, Dan, Maurine forbid you to gather with us. Yesterday was the same, he forbade you to meet us, and yesterday was the same, right?"

"Udah deh Ris, I don't want to make a fuss."

"Ah, Dan. I also have a girlfriend, but not this sweet one either. Leana even knows the limits. Even though we were dating but never did he forbid me to do things that I like as long as it is still within reasonable limits. O yes, the time of dating Aurel also he never ngekang lo up to the whole thing."

"What do you mean Aurel's bandingin's equal to Maurine's?" danial's tone of voice sounded contaminated with feelings of annoyance and also feelings of anger.

"Gue doesn't mean anything."

"Gue hang up now!" and the phone connection was cut off. After putting his cellphone in his pocket, the man then brought both palms to the face. He rubbed his face while grimacing in annoyance. "Ah shit!" the man told himself. Do not know why since ending the relationship with Aurel, there are so many problems that attack him. Danial only does not want if his friendship is stretched. That'sthat's all.

Danial put on the helmet. He then rode his motorcycle. With a decent speed the man drove his motorcycle towards one of the malls near here. Not yet to the destination where the man was forced to pull off his bike first. There were some missed incoming calls as well as some messages. Danial. The contents of the message gave orders so that Danial does not need to go to the mall. Maurine has also sent the location of his current whereabouts for Danial to meet him there.

After putting the motor. Danial rushed into the building he knew as a Thai restaurant that is quite famous in this city. Several times Danial had been to this place with his sister. And according to him the food in this place is indeed very delicious.

A moment after entering, Danial frowned with his eyes dimming. On the table twelve looks Maurine— who uses a halter dress suit with flowers— while busy playing the phone, he may not realize the presence of Danial.

"Don't you tell me to come here?" confused Danial. The man took a sitting position opposite the seat occupied by the girlfriend. He noticed the face of the girlfriend who seemed unwilling to look back at him. What's the matter? Danial felt he had done nothing wrong. "Aren't you sure I'm out for you to go to the mall? Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Danial was quite confused by the incident. Because before leaving, he knew Maurine took him to the mall under the pretext of shopping. Why did the girl change her mind in such a short time?

"You knew? I'm sprained with you. Really happy with you!"

"Can't you?" of course Danial will immediately feel confused to hear the confession of his girlfriend.

"Well, you're five minutes late to meet me at the mall. That's why I'm so lazy to shop."

Danial pinched the base of his nose. "Jeez, it's only five minutes until you're angry."

"And I've been sprained into waiting alone."

"Yes," Danial took Maurine's hand. He twisted it while smiling. "I'm sorry."

Maurine exhaled. "I'm sorryin. But you must to promise if you will not repeat the incident of kek gini again. I don't like this!"

"I won't repeat this again."

"Promise?" one of Maurine's eyebrows shot up leaving the place where it should be. Then his hand that shows his little finger outstretched in front of the girlfriend.

"I promise," Danial replied as he linked his pinky with Maurine's pinky, which was airborne before him. Don't forget Danial also gave his smile. In fact, we have been dating before. But sorry Rin. Until now, that feeling has not returned. But I promise, I will learn Lupain Aurel at once I will also promise to learn to like you! Inner Danial to Maurine who was forming a straight line on his lips.

"What do you want to order?" the waiter came after Maurine called out to him with a hand gesture. The waiter was standing by as he prepared to take note of the order in the small note he was carrying.

"What's the drink, Mommy?" ask the waiter after writing Maurine's order.

"Thai tea is enough."

Finished with Maurine. Now the waiter faced Danial who had finished reading his menu book. "If so, what message?"

"The food is tom yum and the drink is thai tea aja" Danial replied.

...●●●●●...

COMPARED to Maurine, Danial should be the first person to spend food in his bowl. Maybe the nature is like that. Men are a little faster at doing things than women. Done with his meal Danial sipped his ordered thai tea until leaving only half of it. As usual. Every time he finished eating, the man would feel angry. Not satisfied with just wiping the sweat on the forehead, the man then opened his army green jacket showing a brown shirt attached to his body.

"Kok wear a brown shirt anyway, I'll have you make a white shirt so that it's like a couple-an our clothes. Though I already have a plan for the same photo you keep me entered into social media," Maurine cerocos. Because of that incident his appetite disappeared instantly.

Danial glanced through the tail of his eyes. Some visitors were looking towards him. Danial was embarrassed at that moment. Especially because the sound released from the lips of the boyfriend is too big to make them the focus of the vision of the visitors. "Okay I'm sorry. But I asked for your voice melanin! It's not nice to see a lot of people," Danial tried to react to it with a cold head. He showed his good side by trying to temper his emotions while negotiating with the girl. Danial admitted his mistake. But Danial felt that Maurine should know the situation and conditions. They are now in a public place.

"First you came late, second you did not hear my words."

Danial cupped his hands together. "Cliches. You may be angry with me, but not now! Later if we go out. I'm ashamed to be seen by so many people" he said in a pleading voice demanding mercy from his girlfriend.

"Why should I speak slowly? The fault is the same with you. You don't want to hear my words."

Danial is out of patience. Maurine's actions have exceeded the threshold of fairness. Enough is enough for Danial to try to negotiate with him.

"I know I was wrong." Danial got up from his seat. It was not just his voice that raised and made Maurine jerk in shock. Even the man kicked the table so that this time all the eyes of the visitors were directed to the two lovebirds.

Maurine nervous. He looked at the people around him. Then then his gaze was returned again on Danial's face which looked flushed red after the man had bullied her. "Shame and a lot of people. Sit down and calm your mind!"

Danial flicked his hand which was held by Maurine's wrist. If only Maurine had obeyed Danial from the beginning. Surely the table jerking scene will not happen. "I also have a limit to Rin's patience. I can also show the same anger you did before, "without saying goodbye Danial took his footstep towards the cashier to pay for his food and Maurine's food. Danial tried to be indifferent to the bullying stares cast by some of the visitors.

After struggling to catch up. Maurine catches Danial's wrist. Danial who happened to walk towards the parking lot immediately brushed Maurine's hand away. "Get your hands off!"

"You why the hell? You're wrong but you're gone too."

Danial twirled his body. He and the brown ombre-haired girl face to face pitting eyes at each other. "Even now you still blame me without caring about your own faults?"

"Whats wrong with me?"

"You are too much. And it looks like we have to break up!"

Maurine's jaw dropped. He didn't think something this trivial would ruin his relationship with Danial. "I don't want to!" Maurine blatantly does not want to end his relationship with Danial.

"What's the reason you didn't want to break up?"

"I think this problem is quite trivial for you to be the reason for end this love!"

"What's? Trivial?"

Maurine nodded slowly.

"I was still silent even after you arbitrarily chattered me. You've always even forbidden me to come like there's a get-together with Haris, Vernon, and Irgi."

"I did it because I love you...."

"Don't love the name. It means you are selfish. You want your own happiness no matter what your partner feels."

"I don't want to break up with you."

"As you know, the purpose I shot you that night was simply because I just wanted to make Aurel jealous. Even now I don't have the same feeling as you, either" Danial sprayed.

"Are you crazy?" maurine.

"I know I was wrong to implicate you" the man's voice softened and was not as high as before. "But I promised myself to learn to like you. But look what you're doing? You even care about your own happiness."

"But Dan..."

Maurine's sentence paused when he saw one of Danial's hands raised showing the palm.
