VACILANTE: IMPERFECT

30 - Beautiful

The music in the dim light made the previously troubled heart, and the previously messy mind, calm down. The tense mind, and the tired physique instantly disappeared carried away by the sound of music that was so comfortable in the ears. Alvin and his friends are now in a cafe in the middle of Bandung. 

Alvin stretched his whole body, not forgetting, his lips were wide open from yawning. His body felt aching, probably because he moved a lot today without enough rest. But, he's not alone. His other friends felt the same way as him.

"Done!" calista said as he leaned his back against the chair. Not forgetting, he stretched his body, feeling an undefined sense of pleasure.

Devan raised his gaze and looked at Calista, who was holding her hands above her head, with her eyes still focused on the laptop screen, "Udah done, Cal?" tanyakanya.

Calista nodded with a smile, "Udah, Dev."

Devan nodded, "Sorry, huh? So take MPK."

Calista shook his head slowly, "No 'pa-pa, really. We should help each other, right?"

"Front, take us again, yes. Either for a discussion or for help with this kind of thing," Sherina added.

Rangga nodded, "Yes, I agree! Moreover, MPK has a computer expert like Calista."

Nasha who originally focused on the laptop screen with Liana is now stretching her body and leaning on the chair, "The essay essay essay has also been completed. There are champions too."

Devan and his other friends sighed. Finally, after struggling a few hours with his task, all the needs of the race winner announcement were finally completed. Lastly, it's only a matter of printing the award charter whose design has just been finalized by Calista.

Amanda glanced at her watch. Time has shown at eight o'clock. He shouldn't be here right now. He should have gone home. If so, maybe his parents will be angry because he came home too late.

"When are we going home, gentlemen?" ask Amanda who just got a confused look from everyone.

Fiona draws herself closer to Nasha. Not forgetting he turned his head back, trying to make his lips move unknown to anyone, "It's just finished, it's back!" whispered.

Nasha laughed softly. If Fiona used to dislike Liana, now she changes targets. But, actually Fiona is not disliked, she just likes to talk about things that she does not like. And as her friend, Nasha is lucky to not have to bother asking Fiona to open up to her.

"Just a second!" alvin replied while showing his palm. He then rose from his seat, not forgetting to smile at Nasha who was now looking at him in astonishment, "Gue wants to tell you something."

"What do you want, Vin?" ask Liana.

Alvin just squinted his eyes while smiling meaningfully, "Wait a minute. You know, too!"

Alvin then set foot on the stage of the cafe not far from where he and his friends were sitting. He then talked to the cafe owner to make his friends look at each other because they were confused about what would be done by Alvin.

"Alvin wants to buy us what, huh?" terka Angel's.

"Lo know what Alvin's up to, Sha?" fiona asked Nasha which only the trunks answered.

Alvin then went on stage while displaying a row of neat teeth. Her hair was half messy, and her school shirt that had already come out of place made Alvin half cool. Now maybe half, but what Alvin did in the next second made Alvin handsome maximum.

Alvin picked up one of the nearby guitars and draped the string on his shoulder. He began strumming the strings of the guitar, trying to test the sound that came out. His hand was raised to hold the mic in front of him. He then cleared his throat before starting, not forgetting the sweet smile that did not disappear from his face.

"This song I dedicate to my friends who are there," he said, showing his palms to his smiling friends who were shaking their heads, "And so, too, this song is for someone who has filled my heart and mind. But how hard I tried, he wasn't sensitive."

Alvin's speech successfully made laughter visitors to the cafe filled the room. He also laughed softly as he realized his ridiculous words, "This song is the same as my declaration of love. I hope you understand what I mean by singing this song, Sha."

Nasha rounded her eyes as Alvin mentioned her name. His friends just smile while looking at Nasha meaningfully. Whatwasthat? Love statement? Didn't Alvin say the name wrong?

Alvin began to play his guitar, some cafe band members also began to play his instrument. Music that looks familiar from the ears. Music that is currently being liked by some people.

*Beauty

Want the heart to whisper

To relieve the anxiety

Yourselves

Ooh pretty

I don't want to bother you

But what does it mean to miss

Always*

*When the sun rises in the north

My heart is only for you

There is a sweetest and most loving heart

Of course I'll return the whole soul

There is no one else to bother us

Nasha's friends now looked at Nasha whose lips were half-opened in surprise. He then remembered Alvin's words before starting the show. "This song is the same as my love statement."

"Geez, Sha. Alvin's shooting you again?" angel did not believe it.

"Gue didn't know you guys were that close" Amanda added.

Nasha shook her head slowly, "Gue doesn't know."

"I told you, Alvin likes you too," said Liana while patting Nasha slowly on the shoulder.

"Alvin was just singing, really," Nasha replied trying to stay calm.

*Beauty

Not that I want to bother you

But what does it mean to miss

Always

Although the sun rises in the north

My heart is only for you

There is a sweetest and most loving heart

Of course I'll return the whole soul

There is no one else to bother us

This is real, I really love you

There is a sweetest and most loving heart

Of course I'll return the whole soul

There is no one else to bother us

Alvin smiled with a look that could not be separated from Nasha who was looking at him confused. Before ending the song, he asked the band members to extend his instrument, as he needed more time to get closer to Nasha.

Alvin stepped up his legs to get off the stage with the guitar still faithfully on his shoulder. Seeing that, his friends suddenly have an idea to bring Nasha closer to Alvin. They pull Nasha's arm forward, while Nasha is just resigned to what her friends are doing. He was too confused by Alvin's attitude that he could not think clearly.

"This is seriousness, I really love you."

Alvin stopped the sound of the music with the last quote on his guitar. He looked at Nasha who was looking at him. Can Alvin see Nasha's face blushing with embarrassment. How not, they are now being seen by many people.

"Gue love you, Sha. I'm not a good guy, I can't promise to be the best. All I can do, I will always try every day to make you happy. Even if necessary, I will try my hardest to make you the happiest man in the world."

Nasha looked down while poking her lips. He's too embarrassed to look at Alvin right now. It's too sudden. The thought that had been a mess now added more and more messy because of Alvin's love statement.

"Gue can lend you a hand?" alvin's question made Nasha raise her head to look at Alvin. The next second Nasha nodded and looked down again.

Alvin grabs Nasha's hand. The rubbing of the back of Nasha's hand gently made Nasha, who was nervous, raised her gaze again, and looked at Alvin.

"Would you be mine?"

It felt like Nasha was shouting while saying 'Yes' and hugging Alvin tightly. However, he must be aware because they are in public. Nasha held back her smile while pretending to think. He was about to nod, but a sentence suddenly filled his head.

"Gue thinks our close relationship can win over your closeness with Alvin. But, I got it wrong, huh, Sha? Our relationship means nothing to you."

The words of Galih during camping again ringed in his ears. He forget. He has not yet finished his relationship with Galih. There will be problems if he starts a relationship with Alvin without making any clarity on his relationship with Galih.

"Sorry, Alvin. I need time to start a relationship with you."
