Aldo giggled while staring at the screen of his phone. Coolly moving both thumbs alternately, regardless of the atmosphere around. Moments later, Aldo's forehead wrinkled, and both eyes were fleshy.
"Yahh.. amshong! My quota abis! I just wanted a video call from Maya. Later if Dara ama Arin nge-chat cave, howaaa?" gerutu Aldo-kumat lebaynya.
"Yes buy it, Sompret! It's so complicated," said Rio enek.
Aldo seemed to be thinking, "Here you want, that's it." A few seconds later, a light bulb flared over Aldo's head. "Eh! But no, deh. Ask for a home wifi password, Ric!"
Eric doesn't like it. "Why am I? There's not. Wifi I again limited quota. Make preparations to play ML the next few days."
Aldo glared, "So more important ML than me?" while putting on a disgusting face.
"Well," Eric casually replied.
Aldo's eyeballs were spinning, "Sort, you son of a bitch!"
Aldo sighed, then dropped his back on the sofa. His eyes glanced at Andra, who was again coolly sitting on the single sofa alone. Aldo grinning. Aldo inched closer to Andra with a startling motion. "For hospot dong, Ndra!"
Andra glared as Aldo landed his butt in Andra's lap. Andra shuddered, then pushed Aldo's body hard to the ground. "Goat, lo!"
"Aww!"
Eric and Rio paused for a moment his PS play, then faced each other then looked at Aldo stranded on the floor with pity.
"Kill luee!" Aldo whimpered as he rubbed his butt. "ello. Tega." Aldo glanced cynically, while placing emphasis on each word.
Andra pulled her upper lip, "And. Elo. It's laughable."
Aldo snorted while inching towards Andra again. "For hospot, dong! Yea? Yea? Yea?"
"No."
Aldo was still whining, "Come on dong! You're the son of a rich man, you must have a lot of quota!" persuade Aldo while tugging at Andra's shirt sleeve.
Andra glanced sharply, "Once no, yes no."
Aldo kicep, then a rude grunt. Aldo stood up from the sofa and sailed towards the kitchen. "Basic whim!"
Andra again focused on her phone, regardless of Aldo's chirp that looks like a duck asking for mating.
"You're a playboy, you're not capital." Without shifting the focus from his PS, Rio chuckled at Aldo's urgency while pounding the kitchen table with the bowls and glasses.
"Too until my mother's bowl breaks, I boil your face in the pot!"
Rio was increasingly chuckling because he had not heard any more noise from the kitchen since Eric wanti-wanti.
Aldo returned to the living room, holding a glass filled with his juice. Aldo is about to drop his ass on Eric's king-size couch. But the intention was not yet realized, Aldo's eyes glanced at Andra who was smiling like a madman.
Aldo squinted, intending to take a peek at what made Andra laugh without a sound. Aldo grinned, then snatched Andra's phone from the owner's hand.
"Well! What, anyways? Andra again chat ama gi?" Aldo glanced enthusiastically at the name of who was listed in the chat room. "Well, Adyra? Wow wow wow! All good night, good dreams, good night. Similar to Indomart mas-mas which is open 24 hours! Haha!"
Andra immediately got up and tried to pull her phone back from her hand. "Reverse no!" Aldo's getting fiddled. He stood on the sofa while lifting up high up Andra's phone.
"Holy, tuh!" Rio stared at the sumringah, while Eric sighed worriedly, "Can dirty that sofa my mother is being tainted!"
Andra tried to snatch his phone, but unfortunately Aldo's hand was more agile than his hand. Aldo's getting rancid. He looks for Adyra's contact and then intends to call her. As if to know what Aldo had in mind, Andra immediately kicked Aldo's leg to lose balance.
Instead of Aldo falling down, now must Andra who accepts reality. First, Andra did not manage to get her phone back. Andra felt cold because Aldo's cold drink spilled right on his head.
The atmosphere is not even getting colder, it is getting hotter now.
Aldo swallowed his hard-earned saliva, then grimaced in horror. "Jackpots."

"Ih! How come it's not being baled again, anyway? Time to sleep? The deal will wait for me to sleep first, then he sleeps! Hey, kelp!"
Adyra clucked, flailing her phone on the pillow. His body rose up half of the bed, because his throat felt smug.
Adyra sighed, after sipping water from her glass. His hand felt the nightstand, intending to put his glass back in its original place. A moment later, Adyra was shocked to hear the sound of a broken item. Adyra turned her head and saw that her glass had already been split into pieces due to her misplaced movements.
"There's-there's, anyway."
Adyra crouched down and cleaned up the remains of the shards using her hands. Unintentionally, the tip of his index finger was scratched until fresh blood simply flowed.
Adyra grimaced in surprise. Then, he immediately picked up the plaster he always kept in the bottom drawer.
His left hand probed, scraping the contents of the drawer to immediately find the plaster. A little while later, Adyra's hand movements came to a halt because she had found something. Adyra's chest suddenly thumped. His body was transfixed as if his entire nerves were frozen. Adyra picked up the thing hesitantly.
A thick, brown-wood journal.
Adyra loved all things smelled of chocolate a long time ago. Starting from colors, objects, or food. Looking at the journal, Adyra remembered something. Something he once wanted to throw away from his memory.
Adyra's hand moved, opening the cover of the book, until it reached the first page.
"On the first page should be taped my photo."
Adyra frowned not understanding, "Why is that?"
"Let you always inget me and will not forget me."
Adyra was stunned as Dimas looked at her fixedly, as if there was something she wanted to convey. Adyra smiled as she clasped her hand. "So far, I haven't had any intention of eating you."
Ting!
Adyra looked up, felt the mattress and pulled the phone. Adyra pressed the password, then looked for the source of why her phone was blinking.
A message came in.
Andra : Uda malem. Sleep there. You will get sick later if you stay up late. I'm closing, aren't I? Nights.
Adyra's chest cavity narrowed. Adyra's cellphone grip decays, while Adyra's hand grip in the journal is getting tightened.

"So busy you don't even chat or pick up my phone?"
Adyra stopped her steps, as her body was right at the door of her class. A few eyes paid attention to them. Instantly, Adyra straightened her face.
"Lo... is it here?" Andra turned the eyeball, then pulled Adyra's hand so as not to be the center of attention there.
"Gue thought you weren't in. The rest hours I looked for in the cafeteria were not there, nor were there in class. There are no lesson hours either. So where have you been all day?" Adyra blinked when she heard Andra speak in a flat tone.
Adyra glanced at Andra's grasp from his detached arm, then turned her gaze to Andra's bead which was now staring at him. "Gue in class. But the time of the first break until the second, I'm in the perpus. Have the homeroom teacher complete the task before the UAS all check-in incomplete class information. I'm a secretary" Adyra explained.
Instantly Andra's eyes turned bright, "Would you eat?"
Adyra nodded for a moment and then nodded. "Udah is."
Andra nodded while Adyra smiled. Andra bener - bener chameleon. That feeling is parched, deh. Now it's sweet. The prestige says kangen. Adyra thought to herself in the heart.
Adyra slightly snapped as Andra's index finger stuck to her forehead. "When you smile? Slovenly thinking, yes!"
Adyra slapped Andra reflex's arm while opening her eyes. "Have a son!"
Andra chuckled, then pulled Adyra's hand and grabbed it. "Where are you taking me, anyway?"
"To my house," Andra said after Adyra was already on Andra's bike.
Adyra tilted her head, "Ngapain? I haven't had a shower, you know!"
Andra put a helmet on her head, then opened her helmet glass. "Dear. Lo still smells."
Adyra frowned, sniffing her own smell. "Times, anyway?"
"Still not believing that you smell? Want proof? Where I kissed!"
Adyra was stunned for a while, then swallowed her saliva misbehaving. "Hm.. You can walk right away, right? I'm laper."
Andra smiled slantedly. That girl, yeah. I like to shift the subject.
• • • •
"Your house looks very rame. There's another show, huh?"
Andra cleared her throat and took off her helmet and got off the bike. "It's just a small event."
Adyra nodded, then followed Andra into her house. When her feet were just a step into Andra's house, Adyra was surprised to see some people there.
Rio hit Aldo's hand which started to rest with his pawns. "The sweet! If my pawn advances atu, my fortress is eaten, dong!"
Aldo grunting. "Mending fortress doang, too! Fort lo there is still atu, noh! The horses are also complete. You have a lot of people, Budi!"
Rio glared, "My father's name is, Toro!"
Aldo was complaining. "My father was that too!"
"Everything, woi! It's so play chess what's buoyant, ah!" Eric rattled his hair in annoyance, looking at his two friends who had already thrown deadly gazes at each other.
"What the hell, a fuss in people's homes."
Aldo clucked unconcernedly, then laid his body on the sofa. While Eric and Rio threw a smile as his gaze passed by Adyra.
"Lo all.... is also here?"
Aldo's eyeballs whirled around, "It was thought he was the only one invited."
Buk up!
"*****, AH!"
Rio smiled hyperbole towards Adyra after throwing Aldo's face with the sofa cushion that was right next to her. "Obviously, the cure is abis." Rio whispered and made Adyra smile awkwardly.
"Bu Reya... Where, Ndra?" Adyra spoke, as they were already far away from Andra's friends.
Andra, who looked dumbstruck for a moment, pulled the corner of her right lip. "There's later."
Andra pulled Adyra's hand towards the living room which was almost half full of heavy to light meals. Adyra stared in disbelief.
"Lo's birthday, huh? There were friends of lo. Now a lot of food. What else later? Balloon shape number seventeen? Or egg and flour clamp event? I didn't say, anyway! I haven't packed a gift yet!"
"Gue's not a birthday." Andra picked up a red apple on the table, then bit it. "If I had a birthday, I wouldn't have told you what you just said. Balloon number seventeen, egg block event, I think it's tacky."
Adyra grabs the apple before Andra bites it back. "That's not tacky. But impressively," martial Adyra was proud with a slight lift of her chin.
Andra clicked and took back the apple. "Whatever. My opinion is the same if it's tacky."
Adyra's eyeballs are spinning. As Andra held out an apple from her hand, Adyra raised her hand-sign of rejection.
"Yes, you say dong, if there's an event. You were invited here too and I don't know. Where they've been on cool again. Must be a shower, huh. Lah me?"
Andra immediately turned to Adyra who was sitting on her dining table chair. "Where do you think they've been bathing?" Andra raised her right eyebrow, "Lagian, they're not cool. Ordinary aja. Still my cool."
Adyra almost choked on the mineral water she just drank from the glass Andra thrust earlier. Adyra looked at Andra idly while poking her lips. There's a sensi, man!
Andra's eyeball turned, then removed two buttons on his shirt. "You want to take a shower, go upstairs. You can use the bathroom there. For clothes, you can wear Kanya's. I don't think your size is much different. Let me take a shower downstairs."
Adyra squinted, "Not good, ah! Bath time in people's homes."
Andra removed the shirt from her body after unbuttoning her last. Andra looked at Adyra for a moment, then draped the shirt on her left shoulder. "Yes, I don't want to."
Adyra rubbed Andra's arm as the man was about to walk away from her. "Where are you going?"
"You take a shower."
Adyra thought for a moment, making Andra frown. Andra raised both eyebrows as Adyra displayed a smile. "Gue come, deh."
Andra swerved, then removed the rough arm from Adyra. "Lo want to come with me to take a shower?!"
Adyra was still smiling, with no intention of fading in the slightest. But, gradually her smile decayed upon noticing Andra's hyperbole expression. "Gue took a shower on top, kali," said Adyra as she flatly expressed.
Andra blinked when she realized, "Ohh. i-iya." then scratched her neck wrongly. Andra cleared her throat, neutralizing the sudden nervousness attacking her. "Go up to the top. There is Bi Sumi. You can ask her for help."
Adyra curls her thumb and index finger to form the letter O. Adyra immediately took the bag she had put on the chair, then darted away up the stairs.
Seeing Adyra who had disappeared from the stairs, Andra turned around while making her head. "Gue thought what, anyway!"
• • • •
"Neng, pretty, huh?"
Adyra tilted her head until her gaze found Bi Sumi there. Adyra smiled as Bi Sumi approached her. "Non Kanya clothes fit perfectly on Neng's body. Pretty."
Adyra grimaced, "Auntie can, deh. My head can fly, you know!"
Adyra looked at her reflection in front of the mirror. A moment later an interesting idea flashed through his mind. "Neng Adyra what do you want?"
Adyra turned her head as she had already positioned her phone in front of the glass. "You ngalay first, Bi. Hihi."
Bi Sumi's frown was confused by Adyra's sentence. "Ngalay tea, naon?" Bi Sumi's face looked more confused when Adyra smiled instead of answering.
Czechoslovakia!
So perfect!
Adyra smiled as she looked at her self-portrait on the phone screen. Adyra opens the WhatsApp app and sends something to Andra's roomchat. After he finished, he reopened a photo of himself just a few minutes ago he took his own picture.
Adyra smiled again while holding her right cheek. "Ah... Auntie, I am beautiful. Hidhi. How am I supposed to realize, huh?" Adyra whispered while talking to herself and laughing to herself like a possessed dhemite waiting here.
"Why so?"
"Of! Sontoloyo's ass sprained!"
Adyra jumped in shock until she accidentally put her phone down on the floor - after turning her head and seeing a woman with her long hair and was wearing a white garment that covered her knees stand in front of the door and face it.
"What the hell, Brother? It's Kanya. Forgot, huh?"
Adyra blinked while stroking her chest. "Good God, who do I think. Kanya, please! If you have long hair it should not appear suddenly, dong!" Adyra lowered her head and picked up her phone.
Kanya thinned her lips and extended her hand to Adyra. "You hug, you miss."
Adyra immediately approached and hugged her back. Kanya rubbed Adyra's back, and increasingly hid her head in the neck basin while inhaling her scent. Adyra chuckled and replied to the swipe on her back. "There have been four days without seeing me. Uh! Four days or three days, huh?"
"Three days." Kanya.
Adyra took off her embrace then looked at her. "Why?" Adyra cleared her throat as Kanya began to ask.
"Why see me like that?"
Adyra blinked, then sniffed her shoulder. "No idea. I feel like there is something different about you. But what, huh?"
Adyra tapped her chin as if weighing something. "If you are beautiful, from the first time we met in the bookstore at that time you are also beautiful. Long hair? Ah, long ago too."
Kanya smiled. "Try it again, deh."
Adyra looked at Kanya, from top to bottom. " When it looks, it's just. Still looks calm. It doesn't make a difference if we meet at the hospital..." Adyra frowned, "..hospital?"
As Adyra recalled something, she immediately threw her gaze at the two legs of the girl in front of her. Adyra. As she recalled, every time Adyra met Kanya the girl was always sitting in a wheelchair. But now....
"Can you... the road?"
Kanya just smiled without answering Adyra. She saw Adyra closing her mouth while looking at her in disbelief. Kanya flinched as her body suddenly hugged tightly. Kanya's body feels warm. Only a short time they get to know and meet several times, does not make Kanya consider Adyra as a stranger. In fact, it makes them feel so close.
"Since when?" adyra asked after her embrace came off.
He smiled, "Since anyone said it to me, otherwise we should give up the same situation..."
"....Suppose what is happening now is a test that will determine what we deserve in the future?"
Kanya looked at the clingy Adyra, as her hands were gently rubbed as if to encourage. "God our love tests not because He does not love. He does not want you to be a weak person because only happiness is given. Your life must be colored. Don't be proud that your life is still gray."
"Huh? Okay no?"
Adyra chuckled when she heard Kanya imitate her words during her time in the hospital the other day. "You still want to?"
He pulled both corners of his lips. "Where can I forget? All thanks to Adyra. I can't believe it's because of Brother."
Adyra nodded for a moment and then shook her head. "No. Everything comes from your own will. Not me."
Kanya pulls Adyra's hand to follow her. They stopped on a balcony overlooking the living room below. Kanya pointed at a direction with her chin, so that Adyra would look in that direction. "Let's look that way."
Adyra followed Kanya's line of sight. "Sister Andra never talked that close to Mama, before she knew Brother."
Adyra looked at them, not far from there. His chest cavity seemed to warm up seeing their closeness. Suddenly, Adyra immediately smiled as she remembered her late mother. At the same time, down there; Andra looked at him with a smile.
