The Little Wife of Arsen

Chapter 4: The Cafe

I think Alea wants to run away at the moment. Because of Marinka's mbak. The times where he should feel free anywhere while enjoying the money left to his two parents who had been very saving since Elementary School, Alea instead had to be confined with a figure named Arsenio Yudhistira.

Indeed, mas Arsen never play hands or say things like swearing to him. But the older pretentious nature of it—indeed older—too domineering and Alea did not like it.

It was all because of Diwa. If the man had not asked for a bicycle, then Arsen would not have been as angry as he was.

Getting off the online motorcycle taxi, Alea walks into the cafe area where all of them are Gita, Keke, Diwa, Saga and herself planning to gather to do chores together.

Once inside, what Alea saw first was rows of people in neat suits sitting relaxed while talking to each other. It looks so dignified and so calm. When calm, unlike the table in the corner of this cafe that looks very rowdy, especially when Gita who is sitting there squealing calls his name until everyone in the cafe looks to turn around for a moment.

Alea looked embarrassed at Gita. Walking closer to them then landed a fatal blow on Gita's back.

"So shameful vows" Alea scolded.

Gita said she didn't feel wrong at all. This is a cafe, a place to relax. Shouting for friends is not a crime here.

"Well, said lo Git. Alea's gonna die, here's proof she's alive"

Alea glared at Diwa who had just spoken. Contrary to Alea's expression that seemed bent because it was homelinized by Arsen, Diwa's face even seemed radiant. Who is not radiant when they get a bicycle with a price of millions?.

Judging from Diwa who was smiling, the man was clearly teasing her right now. Gita must have told me about her death and Diwa clearly knew why.

"Gue was almost dead. But the power of God is still dear to me so I can retaliate" Alea replied as she stomped Diwa's feet under the table until the man grimaced in pain.

"This is just the four of us? Where's saga?" Alea looked to the right and to the left. Couldn't the man sulk just because he had refused to be invited home?.

"don't know. Torn times, I'm sure he must have brought the car at so—, buset handsome really it guy. My heart's guardian candidate is rich" girang Gita suddenly.

Unlike Keke and Diwa who followed the direction of Gita's gaze, Alea just rolled her eyes lazily. Gita's habit when in a cafe is always to squeal with excitement when looking at handsome men. The boy's soul always thrashed.

"Al" whispered Diwa. Alea rebuffed Diwa's hand which poked his arm.

"Look who it was, your heart must be flowery" whispered Diwa again.

For a moment the views of the two met, but mas Arsen cut it off because the man took a sitting position among the men in neat suits. Judging from all of them who said hello to Arsen mas very friendly and slang, it was certain that they were all friends of the man.

Okay. Not only himself who came out this afternoon, but mas Arsen also did. In the same place again.

The sound of music is starting to sound. The rainy weather out there adds to the romantic impression when the piano starts to play. This cafe is famous for its many surprises. Alea had even seen a lovebirds making proposals at this cafe. In the midst of the cafe visitors to make singles like Gita and Keke thrashed to join in crying because touched. Maybe today it will happen too.

"There's another special event. Who was arrested and shot by someone else. But I'm in the baper" said Gita, wringing Alea's hand.

Alea just sighed. In the past, he was also very excited if there was something like this in the cafe, imagining if he would also be given a surprise and treated so sweetly by the gebetan mas. But now, the boro-boro, Alea can only stroke the chest because it gets a husband like Arsen who has no romance at all.

"That's not Saga?" this time Keke spoke. The girl was surprised not to play until she closed her own mouth.

Alea turned back to the direction that Keke saw. For a moment there was a curse that was held back as his eyes caught Saga walking with a bouquet of flowers in hand, smiling meaningfully at him which successfully made Alea immediately glance at the Arsen mas. Damnit. The man also seemed to be paying attention to Saga.

"Hi Al"

Alea immediately lowered her head pretending not to hear Saga's call that was already standing behind her. Really, not now Ga. He can really be chopped up by the Arsen mas.

"Alea"

Grumbling inwardly, Alea turned her head back, along with that she also saw the expression of Arsen mas who was now just silent while looking straight at her. Why of the many days, should now that there be a mass Arsen as well?.

"I like you. Want to be my girlfriend?"

Jeder.

There was no expression that Arsen showed when his friends smiled. The man seemed to be watching a romantic drama of teenagers and he became a father figure waiting for his daughter's answer.

"A.. I can't Ga. I don't like you. I like people" okay. That's the safest answer now. Snatching her bag, Alea directly walked out of the cafe leaving everyone staring at her with a look of disbelief.
