The Rituals

Minor conflict

Before Arina approached them, she gestured first to order a drink, and the six people at the table nodded in agreement.

"Arina is so different if you wear rich clothes!" said Mika who still sees the back of women who now order drinks at the counter.

"Yes, more light!" Ardhan who now drank his drink chimed in with agreement.

Alvaro and Sinta just nodded their heads, while Glen glanced back at Arina who was standing there to return to judgment.

"Beautiful more? Even more beautiful than me!" Cindy also opened her voice and chimed in Mika's speech as well as Ardhan.

Glen and Alvaro simultaneously and without warning immediately glanced at Cindy who was now stirring her glass back.

Sinta and Mika are quite surprised by the reflexes of the two men, while Ardhan who does not see is just busy chewing the jelly that he drinks.

"Don't go low to get high!" Alvaro who was sitting next to Cindy also gave a speech that insinuated as well as reprimanding the woman.

Previously Sinta and Mika thought Alvaro would say that Cindy was much prettier than Arina, but it turns out that the man is not as romantic as what the two thought.

"No, obviously look forward to Elo from anyone!" Glen's chirps that drank his cappuccino.

Alvaro's forehead shriveled when he heard Glen's words, and glanced at the man beside him.

Sinta and Mika looked at each other, the person they did not expect to say that to Cindy, actually said it clearly just now.

And it makes them even more convinced that there is something between Cindy and Glen, which is unknown to all of them including Alvaro who now looks annoyed.

"Hey..Sorry late! What's the talk?" Arina who came with the glass she was carrying was sitting next to Ardhan, in an empty chair.

Then he looked at all his friends in turn, starting from Sinta and ending at Ardhan.

It made the six of them fall into a stiff silence, "Why Ri?" glen asked who was surprised to see the woman suddenly looking at all of them. Arina who got the question just went back to asking

'Hm?' which means the question word 'What?' while drinking the drink casually.

While the six people in front of him looked at each other.

Arina who had tasted the drink calmly then finally put both hands on the table, by folding it after sliding the glass away.

Then he advanced himself towards the table, to get closer to the six people.

Seeing the movement of Arina who brought her closer to the shirt also made them do the same thing.

Until now their head was close enough, making it like making a circle to make a strategy in the basketball team just before they started the match.

"So... Eh, why are you guys even whipping?" asked Arina who realized all her friends were getting their heads closer to her.

They stayed away when they heard the question.

"Gue thought you were going to whisper something to us, so we get you too!" said Sinta who was beside Arina.

While the others nodded in agreement with what Sinta said.

"Oh, no! I just want to be cool." replied Arina, and made them all at least a little upset because of the misunderstanding.

Arina chuckles at their behavior, even Cindy, Ardhan and Mika pretend to drink to cover up their upset.

"Okay, gini guy's!" Arina starts to explain why she called them here, they refocus and forget about the incident just now.

"We're going to do the ritual on Tuesday night, what? You guys can?" asked Arina to make sure first, if all who will follow the ritual can be present and have no other schedule.

Alvaro raised his eyebrows, hearing the day mentioned by Arina.

"Tuesday malem Ri? That male wednesday?" he asked, the woman nodded confirming the question from Alvaro.

Sinta glanced at her friend and asked.

"Why is tuesday a malem? It's not usually that Thursday malem, it's that Friday malem, is it?" That question he addressed not only to Arina, but to his other friends who nodded justifiably.

Justify that usually mystical things are done on Thursday night or Friday night.

"No, Ta. Not a friday malem, but a tuesday of malem." replied Arina.

But the woman did not include a reason why it was Wednesday night she chose and not Friday night.

But what is the power of those who know nothing? So Mika and the others could only nod in agreement with Arina's request.

"So how? You guys can?" ask Arina again, who considers the problem of Friday night and Tuesday night was finished.

He looked at his friends in turns.

"Where's Ta?" asked Arina, after it was felt that no one would take the initiative to answer first.

So he preferred to ask them one by one.

Sinta almost choked on her drink when suddenly Arina who was sitting next to her asked her.

Sinta put down her glass and coughed a few times, after which she looked at Arina who was still waiting for an answer from her. Sinta responded and responded.

"Yes, I can do it!"

Arina nodded at the first answer.

Then the woman looked at Cindy who was beside Sinta.

"Where's Cin, can you?" arina asked the woman, Cindy should not wait to answer the question because she immediately nodded her head in favor of Arina's proposal.

After that, it was Alvaro's turn to answer whether he could come on Tuesday night?

"Al, how? Is there any basketball practice?" ask Arina who is afraid that the basketball chairman has a schedule with his team that night.

Alavaro raised his hand towards Arina, asking for time for her to ask some of her friends.

Maybe the team secretary he's now calling. Alvaro stood up from his seat and moved away from them to chat with the person.

So Arina continued her question to Glen who was now staring at her.

"Glen?" arina asked, Glen also did the same as Cindy, she nodded her head without hesitation.

Answering Arina's question and agreeing to it. Then the woman looked at the woman who looked agitated waiting for her turn.

"Mika, how? Wanna come?" Arina's question was different from the one she asked the others.

There was a word of bidding back that Arina told Mika, and made Sinta also Glen squint their forehead.

"Ah, Follow! I follow Ri.." Mika answered quickly, as if she was pressed or threatened to answer yes.

Then Arina just nodded her head, smiling at Mika.

"Come on! Tim doesn't mind if I'm not here!" Alvaro, who was done with his phone, came back to the table, and said he would still come despite having a schedule with his basketball team.

"Serious, Al?" asked Cindy who was not wrong to hear the man said that he would still come despite the schedule with his team, even his team did not mind if he did not come.

Alvaro nodded at Sinta, "Seriously, Ta!" the answer. Then the woman glanced at Arina who was beside her, but it seemed that Arina did not mind that.

"Ri! Captain time is not present in training anyway?" ask Sinta who objected to the decision taken by Alvaro.

"Heh.. It's up to me, after all they've been ngizinin!" Alvaro, who heard the sentence, replied that it was his business, not his.

Glen who heard Alvaro's tone raised even more just patted the man's chest.

"Hey! I object, you are the captain of the team. Time to skip training again? What kind of captain are you?" tanya Sinta who also raised her tone.

Alvaro who heard that speech was stirred with emotion, he stood up from his seat quickly.

Making Cindy, Mika, Arina and Sinta alone surprised. While Glen and Ardhan quickly stood up, Ardhan ran to hold Alvaro's shoulder and told him to sit back, as did Glen.
