Unanimous

PULL TEA

The unanticipated Saturday. It feels better to go to the office today than to be at home thinking about what he can use to avoid Brigitta's invitation later in the afternoon. What he had to do was be among that pair of prospective couples. Moreover, his feelings for Zayn who thrived just buried him. It could damage its defensive fortifications. But rejecting Brigitta is the same as showing the failure of his move on business. Wiya does not want to be seen as a girl who lost the fight for love.

His phone rang, a call came in from Ilham who invited him to eat ice cream in Malay Square later this afternoon. There also came the idea of finding a way out of this problem.

Wiya invites Ilham to be her friend to meet Brigitta and Zayn later in the afternoon. Inspiration resists that call. But Ilham had never had the heart to say no if it was Wiya's request. I don't know why he turned it down today.

“Tega You Ham!“ Then Wiya was silent, deliberately silent so that Ilham read his disappointment, did not have the heart, and changed his mind.

　

“Huft. But just for a moment yes Wiy” Ilham really melted and did not have the heart to let Wiya alone.

“Waaaaah, Thanks Inspiration. Meet there later afternoon ya”

“No yes! You wait at home, I pick up”

“Hehehe. Okay. Siyap Boss” Wiya replied with excitement. At least there later he did not die of the style of seeing the compatibility of the two lovebirds.

In the afternoon Wiya was ready with a long t-shirt in light purple, her hair was left on her shoulders, she had formed it curly and gave a little color earlier. Wiya crossed the small bag on the boat and

down to meet the Inspiration that is already in the living room. Inspiration with a light blue plain shirt, looking masculine with her hair combed sideways. They leave with family members and go to meet Zayn and Brigitta who are waiting there.

They had reached a teahouse pull according to the location point that Brigitta had informed through a short message earlier. A simple outlet but selling a menu that is not sold in any cafe in the city. Tea pull native Tanjungpinang City. Zayn and Brigitta were sitting there but busy with their phones. Brigitta stood up to see Wiya and Ilham approaching them.

“Hayy Qawiya! I don't think you'll come to Wiy. Let's order your tea“ Wiya sits opposite Zayn. “Hallo Ham” Sapa Brigitta a little awkward. Ilham only smiled slightly to reply to Brigitta's greeting and shook hands with Zayn then sat next to Wiya and his position faced Brigitta.

Some moments passed with awkwardness between them. Zayn who felt anxious to see Wiya who did not see or invite him to talk. He wanted to pull his favorite minimalist nose

if only the two of them.  Brigitta was also awkward to see Ilham who did not throw a smile and hospitality as usual. Until their orders arrive.

4 glasses of tea pull on the table does not necessarily make the atmosphere liquid like milk cream and sugar that dissolves in each glass.

Tik tok tik tok

They are completely dissolved in their own glasses.

“Eh yes Wiy, this is an invitation to dinner for my engagement party and Zayn. For you and Inspiration. Come loh!”

Wiya just stared at the invitation in that smooth hand for a few seconds. Wiya wanted to shout his inability to accept this reality. He was invited exclusively directly by people whose news was targeted by all media and netizens.

Maybe Wiya will be happy because Wiya is one of the millions of people who follow Brigitta Instagram who get this luck. But the problem is that Brigitta will be engaged and married to the person who fills the gaps of Wiya's hope. The person that Wiya wished her name was with that person in her invitation. But Wiya must be quite satisfied with only his name in the guest name column only. Where can Wiya hide the wounds in his heart?

“Wah yes, definitely! We will surely be present. Where we may not be present, yes. We must be present. Isn't that Ham? With a hasty movement Wiya put the invitation into her side bag.

“We can't go Wiy!”

All eyes turned to look at the mysterious face of Ilham. Unlike Wiya who is able to keep everything neatly, Ilham actually showed an expression of discomfort between them.

“Why Ham?“ Ask Zayn in wonder.

“Didn't Wednesday have to go on a trip to Kalimantan, sir? The show is next Saturday right?”

Zayn only remembered the results of his meeting with the section managers yesterday about the problem of one of their outlets there. Then he just nodded slowly while stirring his tea again.

　

“Hmm. Zay. Can the schedule be shifted? Though they are both guests we are very much waiting for, right?“ Now Brigitta spoke in a spoiled tone, she clasped Zayn's palm on the table. Wiya gulped heavily on her saliva as her tail could not be seen in the scene.

　

“No way Miss Brigitta, but of course we will still pray the best for you both” said Ilham who had stood up, the sentence was heavy and hot. he clasped Wiya's hand gesturing to follow his steps.

　

“Sorry we still have another event. Come Wiy!”

Wiya had a little trouble shifting his chair and finally stood up and excused Brigitta. Only with Brigitta. Zayn is getting messed up by Wiya's behavior.

Ilham and Wiya continued their event, hunting ice cream on the seaside town of Tanjungpinang to cool the heart and wash away any flavor that ever existed. In addition to needing energy, pretending to be happy also needs a lot of air intake.
