THE SOULMATE FROM HELL
4. TRIPLE
(Two months ago.).
“Yes, I have arrived. Lo hunt! I don't want to wait long. Fifteen minutes maximum, I went back.” said Betari called when he was standing in front of a small cafe called After Sunday, where Vanila wanted to invite him to hang out.
Actually, Vanila has been taking her to this place for a week. He said there was a nice cafe he wanted to go to. But, this past week Betari is still very busy with her work as a video creator, and just relaxed today.
Betari pushed the door of the cafe and a barista greeted him kindly. “Good day,”
For Anus. It means for the sake of Neptune and the planet Pluto and all the stars in the sky.
Betari was astonished to see the beautiful creature in front of him—which was showing off a smile to him. An intoxicating smile that can make Betari stunned.
His face immediately reminded Betari of BTS member who he thinks is the most handsome in the world, Kim Tae-hyung.
“You order what?” ask Kim Tae-hyung, the barista.
Betari did not answer. But he brought his body closer to hitting the cashier's desk. His sane mind had completely disappeared. For a while he just looked at Kim Tae-hyung before him with a look of adoration. To upset someone waiting behind him.
“You are very handsome.” muttered Betari in the end.
“Thank you, Brother.” reply Kim Tae-hyung slowly. “You order what?”
Again Betari did not answer. His eyes did not come off the barista's face.
The man waiting behind Betari cleared his throat, warning that someone was standing in line behind him. Disturb, you Supri! Who told the baristas to be handsome. It looks like Kim Tae-hyung anyway. While Kim Tae-hyung, the barista is only able to shake his head. This was not his first time, he had a visitor like this.
“Iced Americano, please.” he said after his mind started to sane.
“Okay, any more extras?” ask Kim Tae-hyung.
“You have red velved?”
“Ada,”
“One, yes.”
“Good, there again?”
“Your HP number, how much?”
Kim Tae-hyung just smiled. Even though the woman before him was beautiful. He had no interest in giving her his phone number.
Betari pursed her lips.
“It was aja.” said. Disillusioned.
Then Betari also handed over his credit card to pay.
“One iced americano and one red velved.” said Kim Tae-hyun shortly afterwards, then gave Betari an order.
“Still, Ganteng.” Betari received the coffee and cake she had ordered. Not forgetting he blinked one eye at the barista Kim Tae-hyun's twin, which was only answered with a headband. Then Betari found a place to sit and wait for Vanilla to come.
Betari took out her phone and read a short message from Vanilla.
Vanilla
Bet, sorry. Jammed, here. Don't go back yet.
Bethel
Ok.
Fortunately the barista was handsome. Otherwise, where would Betari wait for long. Know right? If this Betari is impatient.
After typing a very short reply and sending it, Betari also began to take photos of coffee and cake that he had ordered as well as several cafe spots that he thought were interesting.
He checked the results and smiled. Betari is indeed good when it comes to photographing. Then upload some photos that he thinks are best to his Instagram account with the caption Today’s good mood is sponsored by coffee. And put the phone back in the bag.
From where he sat, he faced Kim Tae-hyung, who was busy at work, Betari caught the figure of monkey— - that is, the man who soaked her dress with champagne at Dona Sasongko's birthday party last night, walking into the cafe. Betari remember.
Their business is not finished.
Betari was immediately hit by a sense of annoyance.
***
The old advice says that, opportunity never comes twice.
Betari was just about to approach the monkey to finish their pending business last night. A schoolboy in a gray-white uniform smashed into his body, and spilled iced milk coffee onto his white T-shirt.
Shitt's.
Betari hissing exasperated. He looked down at his current T-shirt that had become wet and dirty. This is Gucci Angelica Hicks Limited Edition T-shirt Girl! Betari really wants to cry now. The feeling just last night he was doused in champagne is now doused again with milk coffee.
O Lord, what sin does Betari have to pay karma two days in a row. He was also the same as Juan Salim, his fierce grandfather. Until forced marriage, Betari still obeyed.
“Sorry, Brother.”
“Sorry nutmeg lo. Wet this shirt I.” snapped Betari.
“I didn't accidentally, Brother. Really.” The schoolboy almost cried.
Not intentionally?! Betari. For Anus. Betari hates that excuse.
“I'll change clothes Brother.”
“Juhi.”
Someone who turned out to be the monkey approached them, more precisely approaching the school boy.
“Om Bara,” the schoolboy exclaimed happily. His eyes that were about to cry, instantly sparkled.
The monkey did not even look at Betari, only said to the schoolboy.
“Why you?” ask the monkey in a low tone.
The schoolboy explained the problem to the monkey. “I've apologized to her brother. But it seems like he is very angry.”
The monkey glanced at Betari at a glance.
“Come, Om Bara take you home.”
Then the monkey took the schoolboy and they left Betari.
Demonized.
Betari Umpat.

Vanilla finally arrived shortly afterwards.
Vanila looked at Betari in confusion.
“Why clothes, Bet?”
After finishing the tissues of dozens of sheets belonging to the cafe on his desk and trying to rub coffee stains on his expensive clothes that ended in vain, Betari gave up.
“Gue behind.” says Betari in the end.
“Bet, come. I just came your time already want to go back.” said Vanila tried to persuade his friend.
“Bet..”.
Betari left the cafe upset.
Crushed is in the good mood today. Even a friendly smile of Kim Tae-hyung the barista, who came out as Betari walked past the cashier's desk, could not help but feel upset.
Today Betari was really very angry.
...***...
Betari returned home and planned to sleep even though it was still daytime and her bedroom was still brightly lit—and she had turned off all the lights and closed all her curtains—because today she was very angrier.
With her body lying on her back, Betari closed her eyes to try to sleep. His dirty white t-shirt was already thrown into the corner of the room. Suddenly, his bedroom door was knocked on by someone from outside. Betari answered him lazily.
Widuri Salim, her grandmother appeared with a smile and said, “Grandmother's favorite granddaughter why? Tumben very hour this time already at home.” then Widuri Salim buy a beautiful face Betari.
“Bik Inung said you were angry with Tarjo. What's up, honey?”
“Tarjo tuh, Grandma. Open the gate aja long time.” replied Betari with a spoiled tone.
Widuri Salim smiled at the grandchild's reply. He really did not understand why his granddaughter was still such a child. Kebangetan.
“Later tonight, your future husband's family will come home. You have to dress up a beautiful one, yes, dear.”
“Later tonight?” Betari.
“Iya, Darling.”
If you can be honest, Widuri Salim is actually not willing to let go of his favorite grandson is married.
But, Widuri Salim realized, that a good opportunity does not necessarily come twice. The Atmojo family is not a family. He knew Betari, his granddaughter would have a good future by marrying the Atmojo family.
