EPISODE 31 DATING? (part 4)

“Kakak want to take me where?” Ask Luna. “Hm, where are you going?” Ignacio didn't know where to take Luna, he just wanted to stay with her longer. “What's around here is a park?” Ask Luna again.

“You want to go to the playground?” Ask Ignacio. “I want.” Luna answered with enthusiasm. “Alright, I know a nice playground.” He said while pulling Luna to walk along with him.

During the trip, they filled the silence with some light topics to talk about. Some people looked at them with envious gazes, but they ignored him. They just want to enjoy this kind of time in peace.

Arriving at the playground,

“Kak, can I try that? I paid for myself.” Ask Luna excitedly. ‘He thinks I'm short of money? Let him think like that.’ Ignacio. “If you paid for yourself, why did you ask?”

“Eh? True also yes.yasudah, I want to play this for a while yes brother.” Pleased speech.

“Haah, this girl.. “ Mumbled Ignacio, he chose to sit down and wait until Luna finished playing. He pulled out his cell phone and busied himself with the little thing.

After a few minutes of silence there, “Haah, I'm bored.” He searched for Luna's whereabouts, but he found her nowhere. “Luna? Where is he?”

Ignacio decides to go around the park, looking for Luna's whereabouts. “Actually where is he?”

On the other hand, Luna went around the park alone. He wants to try all kinds of games there, at least he wants to have a little fun and unwind. He was too happy that he himself was unaware that he was separated from Ignacio.

As he was walking around, he saw Aline in an ice cream parlor. “Aline!” Exclaims. Aline turned towards the source of the voice calling out her name. “Luna? What is he doing here?” Mumbled Aline. “Aline, what are you doing here?” Ask Luna.

‘Loh? She's she? What's he doing here? She alone?’ Inner Friska. “Oh, are you with your friend? Am I interrupting?” Luna asked a little bit uneasy. “Ah, no-no, absolutely no bother.” Answer Friska.

“Ohya, introduce me Friska.” Said Friska, extending a hand. “Oh, ah I'm Luna. greetings know.” Said Luna while shaking hands with Friska. “Em, Luna. We haven't paid for our groceries. Excuse me a minute?” Say Aline while pulling Friska back at the cashier.

“Aline, what's wrong with you? We already paid.” Friska protested. “Friska, are you okay?” Tanya Aline hung up. “What? Why me?” Friska asked back. “You know him, right? If he's here, he's most likely with.”

“Luna!” Ignacio. “Eh? Sister?” Luna looked puzzled by Ignacio's worried look. “You've been anywhere? I've been looking for you everywhere.” His words spilled all his worries.

“You see that? I just wanted to talk about it.” Aline's whisper to Friska. Friska did not respond, she just silently pegged in her shoes. “Friska? Friska's? You hear I'm not?” The alien tried to resuscitate his friend.

“Hah? Whahuh? What did you say?” Ask Friska. “Haah, you are this. Didn't you say that you gave up?” For Friska, Aline like saying a bitter reality clearly.

“Yes, as you said, I've given up. That's why I want to be friends with him.” Friska looked like she was holding back tears. Aline saw his best friend with a look of concern, “You want to go back there? Or do we just go home?”

“No, I'm going there. Sooner or later I have to face it.” He tried to strengthen his heart. “You sure?” Ask Aline to make sure. “I'm sure, trust me.” He convinced Aline.

“I'm sorry, I won't go carelessly anymore.” Luna said regretting her actions. He bowed, he cursed himself who could go alone without being vigilant. “Bless your head.” His order.

Luna raised her head, her eyes glancing at that senior of hers. Ignacio seemed to be watching Luna from top to bottom, without missing anything. Then before long, he came back with his warm smile, “Thank God, you're fine.”

‘Indeed I'm fine right? Who says I'm not okay?’ Think Luna. “Luna! You daydreaming? Think what?” Said Friska while patting Luna's shoulder from behind. “Eh? You guys paid?” Ask Luna.

“Yes is. If we have not paid, could-can be scolded the same who keep the cashier.” Friska replied with a small laugh. Luna laughed with Friska. ‘She really was. I told her to stay away from that damn girl. But he still insists.’ Inner Aline.

On one side again,

Fimela was going around picking some flowers with faded colors with simple shapes growing on the empty land. He had walked for quite a long time, but he still had not reached the starting place.

“Huft, wide is also this place. I'm tired.” Fimela looked around her, all she saw was a vast expanse of grass and several types of plants with inconspicuous colors and perfectly fused with nature.

He's tired, he doesn't know why, but he's tired. “Haah, the view here is really beautiful.” He said while taking a position sitting cross-legged on the fresh green grass. Then he felt something touching his feet, something delicate.

He was looking for the creature that was gracing his feet. He held a long, smooth and filled with long, very soft feathers. “Meong! Meow!” That subtle thing. “Ah, cat! Aaa~ you are cute once.” He said as he carried the cat.

“Fimela! You okay?” Ask Ivan. Ivan looked anxious, but it seemed that Fimela was unaware of Ivan's arrival there. He was too busy playing with the white cat he found.

Ivan smiled at Fimela who was so happy. But his gaze changed when he saw the white cat. “Shiro! I told you not to touch a female guest carelessly, right? Where is the karmic order I taught you?” He asked while taking the cat from Fimela's lap.

The cat seemed to like Fimela very much, he even dared to argue against Ivan just to play with Fimela. They seemed to exchange sharp meaningful gazes. “Already, senior. Let him play huh?” Fimela.

Ivan did not press Fimela's request, he watched Fimela from top to bottom, making sure that she was okay. “Hm? What's senior?” Fimela was a little uncomfortable with that look.

“You're okay, right? Shiro likes to claw and even bite. You're not hurt, are you?” Ask him to make sure. “Hm? Is that so? But, I'm fine. She looks like a good cat.” Fimela hesitated.

Hearing Fimela's words, Ivan looked more and more at the cat, but he looked like he was ignoring Ivan. He approaches Fimela and invites her to play. 'Fucking cat.’ Inner Ivan.

“Sweet cat, your name is Shiro huh? What a good name. Who gave you the name?” Ask Fimela. The cat glanced briefly at Ivan and continued to play with Fimela. Fimela glanced at Ivan a little, she saw that his handsome senior was busy with his cell phone. ‘She is always busy, is she not tired?’ Think Fimela.

While playing, suddenly Fimela felt a drop of water falling from the top of her head. “Rain?” Her muttering. “Why are you dumb? Already know rain, let's take shelter.” Ivan pulled Fimela from her seat and led her to a small house at the end of the vacant lot.

The house looks very clean and tidy, like there is someone who comes every day to clean it. “Whose house is this?” Fimela subconsciously voiced the question she had in mind.

“Shiro.” Ivan answered briefly. “Shiro?” Fimela repeated Ivan's answer like a fool. “Meong, meoong.” Shiro Sahut. “So this is your home?” Ask Fimela. “Meongg.” He answered with a proud face that he deliberately showed Ivan.

They took shelter and waited for the rain to stop inside the small, simple house. Because the house was reserved for Shiro, so there were no blankets or other warmers for guests. Only one thick blanket with a small size there.

The temperature there was quite cold, and it made Fimela subconsciously embrace herself to warm her body. Ivan, watching Fimela's every move, wrapped Fimela's body in his suit. “Eh? S-senior.?” Fimela wanted to argue but he lost quickly.

“Just use it, you're cold right?” Ask Ivan. In fact the question did not require an answer at all, as Fimela's facial expression and body reaction said it all. “But, how senior?” Fimela asked, she knew that at the current temperature, anyone would be cold to make.

“You wear it, I have one more.” Ivan answered while taking his other coat from the bag. “Oh, then, thank you senior.” Fimela said with a sincere smile.
