CHAPTERS 1. The Back alley Cafe.
Jakarta 2012
Today dark clouds are enveloping the city of Jakarta. The rain that had been falling rapidly slowly began to stop, turning into water spots mixed with the cold wind. The wind blows in through the windows at the Maroon cafe, but the cold wind is not able to freeze the warm atmosphere in it. Temerang stage lights and small candlelight beams on each table, adding to the warm atmosphere of the cafe. And of course the most make the atmosphere tonight is different because tonight is valentine's night.
Who is not waiting for this moment? The moment where couples share affection, chocolate candy, love flowers, and of course go to dinner with the idol. Maroon cafe management also does not want to miss to benefit eventkayak gini, so that the incoming income becomes greater. So they juggle the interior of the cafe with all-pink trinkets and make the atmosphere as romantic as possible.
"Okay meet us again ABU band!" a handsome guy takes his place on the stage of Maroon cafe's live music scene, trying to greet and interact with visitors before he and his band perform.
"Some songs of love from us, may all be entertained." Erza's cool boy name started singing pop songs about love.
You're so perfect
In my eyes you are so beautiful
You make me want to worship you
At every step
I don't think about you
I can't imagine my life without your love
Don't you leave me
Will not be able to face all
Only with you I can
You are my da-rah
You are my heart
You are my life
Complete myself
Oh my dear, you are
Perfectly... Perfectly...
(Andra & The back bone, Perfect)
His melodious voice and the clang of guitar strings combined with other musical instruments, successfully sedating cafe visitors. The band deliberately arranges the music with accoustic beats to add a romantic impression. So valentine night at Maroon cafe feels more romantic with live music presented by the management.
"This is your honor." the cafe manager gave the envelope to Riska, the manager of ABU band.
"When are we invited, sir? Riska smiled at the boss.
"Surely for sure, you guys played well tonight." Mr. Antok patted Riska's shoulder.
"Thanks, Boss." - "Thanks." Rizka put the envelope in the bag.
Riska has been the band manager of ABU for a year. His face is sweet with mature brown skin like most other Javanese tribes. Riska's almost 175s height makes her look taller than her boyfriend Uno, guitarist of the band ABU.
Riska hurried to leave the back staged and walked towards one of the cafe tables. He counted the honor ABU got tonight. Riska smiled with satisfaction at the contents of the envelope, then glanced at her bandmates.
After almost 2 hours of gig, they went down to meet Riska. Erza, Baim, Uno, and Andy come to the table where Riska is waiting for them.
"Where was that, Ris? Play us in say good no?" ask Baim curious.
"Propa napa? Pesen drink first cake." sidelines Erza who was thirsty for singing from earlier.
"Gaes... Honor we're up!!" Riska took the envelope out of her bag.
"Really??" temhem Andy's face beamed in series.
"Yes, donk, who first looks for a job and promotes you to the boss? I'm that..!" answer Riska prides herself.
"Thanks, Beibi.." Uno kissed Riska's forehead and stroked her boyfriend's hair.
"Remove yuk, I have a date" said Erza after gulping down the orange juice she ordered.
"Hurry up anyway..?" Andy who just pesen fried potatoes objected to the invitation of his friend.
"If you want to date go alone, why invite us?" Baim disagreed.
"Basic singles!" grouse Erza.
"Damn it!" Baim threw his best friend with fries, right on Erza's cheek.
"Basic singles don't sell. Rich I donk his girlfriend a lot. Who dares to deny my charisma as a man?" Erza pairs a narcissistic pose that makes Uno's hair goosebumps.
"The cave is not unsellable, but it's choosy. Not cheap rich elo, Za." replied Baim.
"Yes, Im." bela Andy agreed.
"Ntar elo kualat hlo. The turn in the game the new girl knows the taste." Riska followed by Erza.

•••4. THE 'INFORCES•••
The clock is at 9pm, and tonight it feels so cold. A girl walks alone through a narrow alley behind the Maroon cafe. Her white cheeks were red with the cold air. The girl's name is Dinda. Have a beautiful face calm, the guy who saw it will never feel bored. His black and long hair further adds to the charm of this girl.
Dinda blew the warm air in her hand that was starting to feel frozen. He was still walking down the narrow alley to his house. Houses in densely populated rural areas make angkot unable to get inside, so Dinda had to walk quite a distance before reaching her home.
"Cold." Dinda rubbed her palms on her arms, looking for some warmth.
Suddenly Dinda's phone rang, Dinda opened her phone trying to see who was sending the chat. Dinda reads a chat that turns out to be from her best friend, Venny. But when Dinda's consciousness focused on her phone a guy came out of the corner and hit her.
BRUISES..
"Accuse me. sory. sory. I was in a hurry." Erza tried to get up.
Dinda was silent, she looked at her phone that had fallen and shattered. Erza who is still staggering even accidentally stepped on Dinda's phone.
THE KRAAK..!
"Ups..!" slowly Erza glanced down at what she was stepping on.
Dinda stared expressionlessly at Erza. Erza returned Dinda's gaze with a super guilty face.
"I'm sorry I changed my phone tomorrow."
Erza, who was still with her face, tried to reach out her hand to help Dinda stand up. Dinda ignored Erza's hand instead, her hand reaching for her shattered phone. Dinda just took the SIM card in it, then left the expensive phone lying on the street. Dinda who felt no need to respond to Erza's rant got up and walked back leaving Erza who still seemed to feel guilty.
"Woi, I'm sorry." Erza's after Dinda.
"...." - ".Dinda just kept quiet, she felt no need to discuss or deal with Erza anymore.
"Gue's gonna tucker his cell phone." Erza smiled at Dinda.
"No need." answered Dinda briefly.
"Can you get your home address?? I'll be tuking the phone soon." Erza tried to apologize to Dinda again.
Dinda stopped her steps and looked coldly at Erza. Erza returned Dinda's gaze, when for a moment her brain became empty, Dinda's beautiful face managed to sedate Erza.
"Sory can't you follow me? Didn't you just say rush again?" dinda's speech disperse the daydream of Erza who was then silently fascinated.
"Oh yeah I forgot Vania." Erza scratched her hair and waved her hand at Dinda. Erza turned her body leaving Dinda. Sometimes he turned to look at Dinda who was walking away, passing into the end of the alley.
Erza was a little confused by the behavior of the girl she met just now, not because of her attitude or cold words, but because only this time there were girls who were not interested in her. Usually the girls can be conquered with just one blink of an eye or a smile of Erza's sweet. After sighing Erza stopped her daydream and picked up Dinda's shattered phone, then stuffed it into a bag.
"Hopefully it can still be fixed, this phone looks expensive" Erza thought then ran away from the alley to the highway to find a motorcycle.
