Tone & Sound
#29 [Bab. blue sky and five friends]
The flirtatious sun had cradled the sky until it finally ran away and now made peace with the clouds. Hiding behind it. Drizzle still flushing. The speck danced and fell to the earth.
After leaving the cemetery far behind, passing through a drizzling meeting and several vehicles that seemed to be passing through the streets, the sky blue arrived in front of a shop. From the outside, judging from the transparent glass, it appeared that several people were pacing around inside.
"Come, Leah." said Beep. Take off the helmet, park the vespa.
Then they came down. He immediately stepped towards the entrance of the shop. However, there was something puzzling about this place. As Nada was about to enter, his gaze was accidentally fixed on a transparent glass that appeared to display several letters. Nada's footsteps stopped.
Maybe that's the name of this store. Think Tone. But the letters are not understood at all. M, N, G, S, E, P. Such are the letters attached to the glass. I don't know what it means, or what language it uses, but it's complicated to study.
Tone stopped his gaze at the letters on the glass, then looked for Sound. Damnit. What was sought had even entered the store. Leaving the Tone outside.
Stopping the curiosity in the letters stuck to the shop glass, Nada finally stepped inside.
"Where is the place, Leah? Good isn't?" said Sound as soon as Nada entered the store, and was right next to her.
Tone nodded slowly, "Yes, good..."
Tone noticed everything inside the store. That looks like a restaurant, because a lot of guests are seen eating something on their respective tables.
This place is almost the same as Blanche probably was. But, if Blanche carries the theme of international food packed with Nusantara spices, different from this place. Because since Nada noticed, the one on each guest table here is the same menu. Meatballs.
Nada has not eaten one of her favorite foods for a year. Since he went to Amsterdam, he no longer knows meatballs. It's very hard to find meatballs in Amsterdam. Even though he met Bu Mira, an Indonesian who has a restaurant-cafe nuances of the archipelago, still in the Blanche food menu there is no meatballs.
Tone glancing Sound.
Why does he know that I like meatballs?
The tone stops the glare, then pays attention to the other part.
The layout of the space of this place is almost the same as Blanche. But what distinguishes it, here no Azalea and other flowers are found. Nor will Miss Mira always give you warmth. But for sure, there is always a Sound that makes Nada upset all the time.
After stopping to pay attention around, and still standing in front of the door, Nada suddenly fell silent and looked awkward. Like something weird.
Some guests were pacing back and forth from in front of Tone and Sound like they were laughing as they looked towards them. Or rather laugh at something.
Confused tone. What are they laughing at? Seeing that oddity, Tone and Sound then looked at each other. Simultaneously. Sound immediately choked. Amused laugh. The tone that saw the Sound suddenly laughed, so it became even more confused.
"Are you laughing?"
"Tuh," The sound pointed at something. "Helmnya forgot to loose. It's still raining in here, is it, Lea?" ledek Sound who was still continuing his laughter.
Surprised tone.
Well, it's worth it from earlier on to laugh mulu. Really bego, Nada.
After knowing the cause of why people laugh when they see it, at that time Nada immediately took off the helmet from the top of his head. He's getting awkward.
Actually, if in Jakarta, such a thing is not a problem. But, this is Amsterdam. Things like that could be considered as morning jokes by noon for them.
After all, women are also human beings, who can fail to focus at any time. Maybe when down the rush from the vespa to avoid drizzling, and distracted by strange letters on the front glass of the store, Nada so forgot to take off the helmet first.
Tone saw Sound. Cynical.
The man stopped his laughter. In fact, it now shook its head slowly while glancing towards Nada. And that glimpsed, yes, is definitely upset. Just arrived at a place he had never been to, time, such a welcome? However, that was indeed entirely Nada's carelessness. And this time, the sound is not worth to blame. Laughing in the heart.
But, on the sidelines of all that, someone's voice suddenly sounded greeting from afar.
