Happy Reading
"OMJ! Gusti, Rama it .. just school temen aja first. Nothing special, just a friend," I explained.
"But why is he so attentive to you?" tanyanya back.
"Yes he is the owner of the cafe, so it must be good with customers. If customers are asked where they feel at home for a long time in his cafe." I explained the logic that was like that in my opinion.
Before long, the waiter came with a tray containing what we ordered. A cup of black coffee, a glass of cold cappuccino latte, and two surabi dishes with durian toppings sprinkled with cheese on top.
"Loe doesn't want to miss lunch? it's lunch time, you know" asked Gusti as the waiter kept our order on the table.
"No! This is enough, if you want to pesen aja, then I can still if only add lunch doank,"
"Loe wants a penny, especially? Come on hunt, mumpung the Mama is still here," I added.
"Enough, enough! Thanks to you, ma'am ...." In addition to answering my question, he also took the time to thank the cafe waiter. And, I did the same thing with a smile that was returned with a smile.
We stayed there for a long time, enjoying a cup of coffee and surabi as a snack. Talk and tell each other about themselves. From there, I knew that Gusti was also a doctor and a student who was studying for an S2 degree. And, the hospital that I was in last night, turned out to belong to the Pranajaya family. That's Dr. Widodo Agung Pranajaya, who is none other than the father of Gusti Putra Pranajaya, who is now sitting in front of me.
As for myself, I acknowledge my status as only a factory worker. I said, "There's no better job than the one we love." And Gusti agreed with that.
"Reverse yuk!" take me to Gusti.
"Loe didn't feel at home for long with me?"
"It's not like that, it's noon."
"Saturday is time to relax" he said.
"God! I almost forgot it was Saturday" I was a little surprised at the day I forgot.
"Why?"
"When it's Saturday, it's usually half a day home."
"You can call, chat, or whatever. Ampe panicked, it's doank!"
"The horror! I haven't been home all night, and now I'm home late too? Oho! No! I'm not the kind of kid who worries about the house."
"And I said I could call! Let them not worry."
"Udah, no. Let's just go back, "I quickly got up from my seat and stepped towards the cashier.
Gusti followed me from behind and as I was about to get the money out of my bag, he first handed the card to the cashier.
"Eh! Whatisthis? I don't want to yes .. have a debt and deal again with loe." I told Gusti
"Balikin Ma'am, I pay cash." As I asked for Gusti's card, I said to the cashier's mother.
After the cashier gave Gusti's card, I handed him some money to pay the bill. Then handed back the card Gusti had given to the cashier, saying. "Yes keel! I don't owe you the same."
"Gue's just kidding Dis, I'm not really asking for a change."
"Stop! Don't talk much, I don't want long business with you, okay!" my firmness.
"Loe really is, same traffic signs you can say sweet and good, same time I keep on?" protest me.
I let the question go. Then stepped away leaving the cashier and Gusti who were still standing there.
My hand was pulled, by who else if not Gusti. "What else?" I asked as I looked at the pull of that hand.
"Where's Loe going?" tanyakanya.
"Where else are you going?"
"Loe came here, I brought her! So ... gotta go home with me too."
"No! Thanks, I can ride Ojol or not really."
"Taxol?"
"Yes! Taxi onlen, why the hell?"
"Geez, oh my goodness! Please let me go back by myself, right? I don't want to be indebted to you. I'm afraid you'll let me know terua loe soin debt," I said casually.
"Good Dis! I'm just kidding. Sorry if you don't like my jokes."
Gusti kept asking me to forgive him. And what is wrong? I'm confused too. Because I did not want to be a spectacle, I finally wanted to follow Gusti's willingness to get into his car.
Gusti's car left the parking lot, but the thing is, he didn't take a straight path when he got to the red light. The road was shorter than the road Gusti took now. Turns out, he turned his vehicle into a cake house called Raincake.
The famous cake house is famous for its contemporary dessert that has various flavors. And, this Raincake only exists in Bogor. Not opening branches in any area.
"Remain yet again? I'll go back, "I'm asking in a slightly irritated tone.
"Bentar doank, yuk temenin," he asked.
Although lazy, I finally got off as well. And, accompanying Gusti to enter for nothing. The owner could be his friend, right? Or why I don't know either.
I followed him lazily, apparently he bought a dessert with durian, blueberry, and caramel flavors. After everything was neatly packed, we returned to the parking lot to the car. Gusti asked me to hold his groceries just now, citing fear of falling when placed in the backseat. I also without a second thought.
"Thank you, yes" he said before driving.
"Hmm" I muttered back.
The road was completely jammed by this afternoon, until time seemed to rotate slowly as the vehicle moves faltering. I was struck by boredom, thinking of playing games from my mobile phone. Then, with passion I reached for that flat object. But, because my hand is also holding Gusti's paper bag. I had a little trouble getting my phone out of my bag.
"Ngapain anyway?" gusti Tegur.
"Not anything, really. Just wanted to check HP."
"Bored huh?"
"Yes!"
Gusti seemed to light something in his car, I thought he was going to turn on the music. And, it turns out my guess is not wrong. The music begins to play with the volume of sound. But ... Why did he choose old school music? why does his taste not match his age? He is older than me. But, I am still in my twenties just like old school songs anyway! Than the songs now. Maybe his taste is the same as mine, ah! Never mind, for what I think. What matters is that I am comfortable listening to it.
I saw a lot of missed calls and chats. From Alexa also Barakh when first opened the phone. I forgot that HP is still in a silent setting. I immediately contacted Barakh and said that I was fine and was heading home. After that, I also contacted Alexa. But baby, my call went unanswered. Even after I repeat more than one call.
"Whose phone is it? Seems important, girlfriend?" asked Gusti who seemed to be watching me since.
"Daughter from Hong Kong!? I called Alexa, but it wasn't answered."
"Alexa ...,"
"Yes! Who waited for me when you picked me up."
"So you don't have a girlfriend yet?"
Gusti's question made me a little shocked and choked on the air. Then I laughed in response.
"Why laugh?"
"Yes funny! Why also have a girlfriend what not, kepo! just a reporter."
From that conversation, suddenly Gusti and I fell silent. I saw his eyes focused on the road, but his face was hard to read hinting at what. I thought, is he mad at me? But what's my fault? I really wanted to ask Gusti. But, there was a doubt that was somehow in my heart, which prevented me from asking.
The road we were walking on, it's starting to go smoothly. And the car Gusti was driving also began to increase its speed.
Suddenly, Gusti and I simultaneously let out a word breaking our silence, since earlier.
"Gue!" kataku and Gusti at the same time.
