The Adventures of the Goddess of the Night

CHAPTER 11

Once the order was ready, I immediately delivered it to the couch next to the corner where Agus, Nanda, and Toni were.

I put glass by glass carefully, afraid that the glass would roll over because of the surface of the cot. My eyes glanced at them in turn, Agus was still busy with his phone, Nanda was busy chewing crackers, and Toni was still spawning while occasionally smiling at herself.

"Please drink yes" I asked them.

"So how was Rin?" ask Nanda to bring back.

I started to fidget, unconsciously my palms had been flooded with sweat because I was nervous at this moment, confused to answer Nanda's question earlier.

"Mmm..so what the hell is Nan?" I was pretending to forget, a smile I threw at him.

"Yeah pack show forget everything," said Nanda while patting his forehead slowly "Ituloh...Zahir, how? you like him, don't you?".

I just fell silent, I glanced at Agus who was also looking at me sharply, making me even more unwell with this topic.

"What the hell is Nan mulu your question." I avoided.

It was seen Toni had ended her conversation, then immediately sucked up her ice that had melted somewhat.

"Would I miss talking about what the hell?" tanya Toni was surprised to see the tension between us.

"This is the Erin likes ama Zahir," said Nanda turned towards Toni, concluding for himself the answer to the question that I never answered.

"Opaan the hell Nan, who likes ama Zahir, really not. I'm just surprised that he didn't come, usually he was always with you guys." I reassured them. I was afraid that if they knew my true feelings, they would know me and would never come here again.

"Then anyway? I can't believe it" said Nanda, looking deeply at me, as if looking for an answer in my eyes. My reflexes lowered my head and squeezed my increasingly sweaty hands.

"Udah Nan, don't force him. If he does not want to be honest." said Agus who now throw his face when I look at him, I don't know why his attitude changed and strange.

I am not happy with this awkwardness. Immediately I said goodbye to meet another customer who had just come to record his order. I walked away from them and joined four young men I didn't know.

*****

"I went back first." Agus told Nanda and Toni.

I watched them from the northern couch, wondering why Agus went first and not with them. Agus' strange attitude further confused me.

I immediately say goodbye to the four young men I am with at this time to take turns accompanying the others and then step over to Nanda and Toni. Various questions exist in my mind about Agus' attitude which is not at all as usual.

"Eh Nan, Agus why did you go back first?" I asked for a moment after sitting my ass on the couch, right next to Nanda.

"You said there was a sudden business" answered Nanda while busy chewing crackers that were either wrapped to how much.

I frowned confused by Agus' attitude, usually he was the most chatty and always had material to talk about. But his attitude changed drastically after we discussed Zahir.

"Could Agus be angry with me, knowing I like Zahir?" I murmured in my heart.

"You really, Zahir just now, so angry right Agus," I said lirih.

"Why should he be angry with Rin?" asked Toni who did not understand the direction of the conversation between me and Nanda "why Zahir?"

"Have nothing to discuss anymore, Ton." I said hoping they wouldn't talk about this anymore.

"Have you been honest with us Rin, if you like Zahir, right?" nanda urged, he was so sure of his conjecture that I had more feelings for Zahir.

I couldn't say a word to answer the questions they were constantly urging me on. My forehead was already wet with sweat and immediately I rubbed carelessly with the back of my hand.

"Let's see, I don't know if I like it or not. I'm just amazed it's no more." I explained later, hoping they wouldn't question again.

"What the hell people like is still just badgering," Nanda grumbled not to accept with my answer "I'm sure if my guess is real, you can not lie to me Rin, I know it from your eyes. The eyes will never lie even if you desperately deny it.

I let out a sigh of resignation, Nanda really isn't easy to lie to. While Toni looks fun listening to our conversation.

"Have you been honest with us Rin ama, we will help you, next time I bring Zahir here" said Toni.

"Why did good? how suddenly his attitude is strange, when usually he is the most chatty than you guys." I asked in wonder.

"Either Rin, maybe he was jealous when you liked Zahir" said Nanda.

"Well, why is that?" I asked again, not understanding Nanda's words.

"You don't want to worry about Agus's attitude either." Nanda grumbled.

I'm shaking. Nanda's reflex patted her forehead slowly seeing my innocence. Toni just laughed watching our debate as she chewed on cassava chips.

Soon Agus came back, this time he was with Zahir and joined us.

I gawked in disbelief at what I saw, shocked to see that the person we were talking about was already sitting between us. I looked at Agus asking for an explanation, but Agus immediately turned his face away. Then I turned to look at Zahir who was busy chatting with Nanda and Toni.

"What message do you want?" I said softly, not wanting them to hear my heartbeat racing fast.

Zahir looked at me, for a moment we looked at each other without saying a word.

"Ehm.hm..." Toni cleared her throat, startling us who immediately threw our faces in the other direction.

"Ice moccacino orders" Zahir said without looking.

I immediately left them to make Zahir's order without saying anything more.

*****

"Rin, you are wanted by Hendi and he is sitting in front," said Sari approaching me when I had just entered the stall to make Zahir's order.

"Have the message not yet been Ma'am?" ask me while taking Moccacino powder and pour it into a glass, then add a little hot water from the dispenser and stir it.

"This is what I want to make," replied Sari while turning on the stove to boil water in a kettle.

Indeed, specifically for coffee, mbak Su told us to boil water first, he said coffee must be made with boiling water so that later it will not make flatulence.

"Yaudah you are the one who is with me, Ma'am. I still have a little business with the guy in the corner." I said as I took some ice cubes, then poured plain water until the glass was full.

"So he's looking at you anyway, who's in the corner, your girlfriend huh?" sari asked while blinking one of her eyes teased me.

"Ihh.. What the heck Ma'am I don't have a boyfriend," said I passed leaving Sari who is now laughing as if there is something funny.

My chest rumbled, making my mind a little uneasy as I looked at Zahir's face now getting closer in my sight.
