WILD TEMPTATIONS OF PROFESSIONAL PAINTERS

ELZATTA

" Friend Kasandra, huh?" the man asked while giving Gita mineral water.

" Eh?? Eh right!" sahut Gita looked surprised.

" Take this!" said the man while giving back the mineral bottle to Gita.

" Eh, thanks!" sahut Gita finally received a mineral bottle given by the man.

" It's over soon" said the man, looking at Kasandra with a smile.

" Oh!" gita Sahut.

" Have you known Kasandra for a long time?" ask the man.

" Already! Kasandra's a boarding friend with me." said Gita honestly.

" What did you study at?" ask the man.

" Majoring economics." replied Gita.

" Oh!" tell that man.

" Where's the job?" ask the man again.

" In the construction company!" answer Gita briefly.

" Oh, cool!" tell that man.

Not long after, the man took to the stage and gathered everyone from the theater members. They formed a small circle listening to the direction from the man.

Apparently the man was arguably a senior in the theater members. He is the one who made the script and the dialogue in the performance this time. The man did look very professional in conveying the appreciation of each player who played his character. Kasandra looked so attentive to every detail of the words and input from the man who was said to be the senior.

" so? Today was quite the exercise. Tomorrow we will resume training. The theater is a team. We have to be compact and disciplined. If one breaks it'll be a mess of everything." said the man eventually.

After the man closed with a prayer, the small circle finally faded. Each person returns to their own habitat. Some went straight home, some were still chatting with others on stage.

" Hey Gita!" call Kasandra while approaching Gita.

" You are so amazing Kasandra! I just want to make mewek see your acting loh!" gita's story honestly.

" You're lebay!" sahut Kasandra while sitting and drinking water in the bottle.

" The man who directed you a what is his name?" gita asked while looking at the man who was still on stage chatting with the others.

" Oh that! His name was Elzatta. Good-looking huh?" kasandra answered while looking at the man she called Elzatta. Seemingly telepathic, Elzatta momentarily threw his smile towards Kasandra then very casually waved his hand.

" Eh?" kasandra and Gita said with a glance.

" She seems to have a crush on you, Kasandra!" whispered Gita in Kasandra's ear.

" Nhwur! She already has a lover. That's right next to him, who plays the antagonist" Kasandra told Gita slowly.

" What? Really true?" ask Gita.

" That's it! Let's eat!" take Kasandra while pulling Gita's hand out of the theater building.

Elzatta looked at the departure of Kasandra and Gita from the theater with a heavy heart.

" Eh, come! We'll take all of it out!" elzatta said as he left the place with his girlfriend Ditta.

Gita and Kasandra are already sitting in a restaurant peddling grilled ribs, a menu sought by Kasandra. They had ordered it just to wait for the dish to be delivered to his desk. Kasandra and Gita are still joking with funny stories. Occasionally Gita or Kasandra pinches the arm or stomach if one of them. Gita stopped talking when she saw Elzatta enter the restaurant with Dita.

" What's the matter with Gita?" asked Kasandra who saw Gita suddenly fell silent when she saw the couple enter the restaurant and sat down to approach the two of them.

" Hey! Can I join here, right?" elzatta asked with a smile that he threw.

" Why is it here, baby? I'm just gonna sit there. Anyway we will disturb them" said Dita protesting.

" No really! Not at all disturbing." said Gita and quickly get a pinch from Kasandra on her waist.

" Ow!" shout Gita.

Elzatta sat his ass followed by Dita who was forced to. The two then ordered food at the restaurant after a waiter came to them.

" Have you guys ordered?" elzatta asked while looking at Kasandra but was quickly answered by Gita.

" Already! But we ordered two more servings of ribs without rice." sambar Gita fast.

" All right! Two servings of ribs without rice again well, mbak!" elzatta said to the Pramusaji. Pramusaji just smiled kindly then quickly passed from the place.

For a long time they were clumsy to look at each other because Dita looked less comfortable and free to be in her seat. Kasandra and Gita are busy with her phone while waiting for her order to arrive. Kasandra and Gita who look busy with her phone was apparently chatting with each other. Two humans sitting next to each other but talking or communicating via WA chat. You will guess it, right? What is discussed in the chat between them if not other than not is talking about the people nearby, namely Elzatta and Dita.

Until finally all the food and drinks they ordered arrived, they began to eat together. Kasandra and Gita cuek just enjoy the food and drink plus two portions of ribs ordered earlier they devoured it until it ran out.

" Want to add more? elzatta asked attentively to Kasandra.

" Eh, that's enough! Thanks!" kasandra replied while looking at Dita who was full of jealous flames.

" You're done yet Gita? Let's pull it!" kasandra told Gita.

" Already! Comeon!" sahut Gita then rose from his seat with Kasandra.

" Eh, you're in such a hurry to go home?" ask Elzatta.

"It's late at night. Our hostel is far away!" gita joked. Even though the cost is salto ten times only.

" Lah's. Yes already! Oh yeah, let me all pay!" elzatta. Dita looked up at Elzatta. But Kasandra and Gita were alone to see Dita's reaction which saw Elzatta pay attention to the two girls. Kasandra and Gita immediately came out of the restaurant, in her heart it was no longer a business if the lovers fought each other because Elzatta was seen to be considerate with Kasandra. Seen and very visible if Elzatta actually put his heart with Kasandra.

Arriving at the kost.

" You don't feel that Elzatta likes to steal a look at you, Sandra!" said Gita.

" I don't care!" sahut Kasandra flat while busy in front of her laptop.

" You! Pretending not to be?" ask Gita again.

" Why was it thought? It's not like she's been dating Dita. I won't GR with Mas Elzatta's attention! He's good with all the theater boys. Because he's a good senior to us." Kasandra told me.

" I dare to bet! In fact, Elzatta's little heart has fallen for you. Highlight his other eyes." Gita's value.

" Well! Distinguish between being amazed and falling in love."sahut Kasandra.
