Will Not Be Substituted

Chapter 65: Simple

“Don't forget next week group seven presentation. That's it, good afternoon.”

“Siang, Miss.”

Maya twisted her body propped up her chin on the back of the chair. “Cantin no?” he asked Caca who was opening an empty book.

Caca. Putting the questioner while answering, “Gue can not nitip aja? There are still many things that I have not written for the task of Mr. Fikri.”

Maya nodded. “Lo want nitip what?” tanyanya while packing things.

“Kayak usually, May. The important thing is I'm full.”

Maya and Sofi nod, then move on after receiving money from Caca.

Returning to work on the task that has not been completed since yesterday. Occasionally Caca rereads the book he placed on his side table, then scratches his pen to the top of the book containing the task.

Caca raised his glasses with the back of his index finger. He still lowered his head as someone placed a box of sandwiches next to his paper. Caca took a quick glance and thanked someone he thought was Maya.

“Tumben in the cafeteria there is a sandwich,” said Caca without raising his head.

“I brought from home.”

Caca's eyeballs move to the right and left. A man's heavy voice lets Caca know that it wasn't Maya sitting there. Slowly Caca lifted his head. Her gaze was strewn with her husband's black eyeballs.

“What are you doing here?” ask Caca while scanning around. There was no one in the class except her and Abhimanyu. He breathed a sigh of relief, then looked back at the sandwich beside him.

“You're afraid someone's seen us? Relax, I'm sure no one before entering here.” Abhimanyu's smile was just like that.

“So when you left the house, mother send this to me. Mommy says you will not take breakfast on campus so brought bekel with mother,” said Abhimanyu.

“But I had to drop food to Maya,”, Caca said. “You ate, huh? I can't give my food to you, you're sick again like yesterday.”

Armed with experience from the past, Caca does not want the incident to repeat itself. He always remembered everything Abhimanyu could not eat, so that the events of yesterday did not happen again.

“You only ate?” haggling Caca to the husband.

Abhimanyu stared at the sandwich he was carrying in confusion. He just ate. His stomach is full. He felt he would not be able to stuff the sandwich into his mouth.

“What if we split two?” abhimanyu asked shortly after the idea crossed his head.

Caca's breath is wafting slowly. It did not matter if he only ate half the sandwich, but he was still very busy with his duties which should be collected for the next three hours.

“I bribe how? So, you can still write.”

“Ish, the real one, Bi. What if there is someone?”

Caca clucking. He again grabbed his pen which he had placed on top of his book. Then re-scratch the ink to finish the task immediately.

“No one will pass, Ca.” Without Caca Abhimanyu's consent, a piece of sandwich was thrown to Caca's lips.

In order to appreciate what Abhimanyu did, Caca opened her mouth to take one mouthful without even glancing at her husband. He tried to focus on writing his task despite a little difficulty, because his concentration had to be divided by the Abhimanyu treatment which he felt was too sweet.

Both corners of Abhimanyu's lips were drawn upwards. After bribing his wife, Abhimanyu fed another piece to himself. Either because it is too happy or this is the effect when sharing food with our loved ones. For Abhimanyu the sandwich this time tastes much better than usual.

Abhimanyu still continues to feed Caca, although some deheman sounds from his wife who may be a little nervous. The girl did not want to look at Abhimanyu at all. So Abhimanyu did not know what kind of expression Caca was giving. However, he is happy and still gives Caca a final bribe before Maya and Sofi enter between them.

“Ehm, we disturb, yes?” sofi asked after sitting next to Caca's chair.

“No, I'm going out too. There is a class after this,” Abhimanyu replied as he threw a smile at Sofi and Maya.

Abhimanyu then stood up. Put the box in the bag and say goodbye to Caca and his two best friends.

“Gue unplug first,” said Abhimanyu looking at Sofi and Maya alternately, then looking at Caca who is now also staring at him. “I go to class first. Later I will pick you up at the cafe,” he said as he rubbed Caca's head.

Caca's heart beat was a mess even though Abhimanyu only rubbed his head. He could feel the warmth radiating into his mind and felt hollow as that wide back moved away from his sight.

Maya and Sofi both propped their chin up on the hand. They stared at Abhimanyu's body which had disappeared with gazes of admiration and adoration.

“Pengen deh has a husband like that,” Maya said while tilting her head.

Caca rolled his eyes lazily. He took a packet of food from the table Maya with rough, until Maya was a little furthered and grumbled at Caca.

“Ih, Caca!”

“Eat, May. Laper!”

Maya just throbbed, while Sofi laughed a little at the behavior of the two humans.

Caca looked around him. Put his butt on the chair Abhimanyu had just pulled for him. A moment after they sat down, a restaurant waiter approached them. Give the menu book and record the order both.

“Tumben skipping dinner.” Caca spoke after silence chastened them for a few seconds.

Abhimanyu commented a smile. Put down the phone he wants to turn on.

“Pengen. I can spend the same time with you,” his answer made Caca suddenly blush.

Caca cleared his throat, easing the nervousness that suddenly surrounded him. He tried to evade Abhimanyu's answer and asked why the young man had brought him there. However, Abhimanyu's answer remained the same, until Abhimanyu switched the conversation.

Arjuna's son told little about his activities while working in the father's office. He told the assertiveness of the brother that can make him sometimes feel uncomfortable and also stressed. Not spared also Abhimanyu told how he quickly familiar with the employees there who one division with him.

Shortly after their order came, Abhimanyu was forced to finish his story and eat the dish he and Caca had ordered before the meal turned cold.

Not too much conversation as long as they are filling the energy. Occasionally only Caca's voice responds to the taste of the food which is then responded well by Abhimanyu.

“I have something for you,” Abhimanyu said after wiping his lips with a tissue. The food on his plate just came out.

Abhimanyu picked up something from inside the bag he had placed on his side chair. A long box with ribbons on it Abhimanyu placed in front of Caca.

A frown appeared on Caca's forehead. He asked what gifts Abhimanyu had given him and in what order.

Without answering, Abhimanyu opened the box. A necklace with the name pendant ‘Caca' plastered just like that, making Caca widen his eyes instantly.

“Actually I want my name written here, but I don't think it's time for you to use my name and show it wherever you go,” Abhimanyu said with a smile.

Silent, Caca was still glued to the gift Abhimanyu gave. He never thought Abhimanyu would make it this far.

The necklace is very simple. However, it does not give a normal impression. Like there was a lot of love embedded there, so the necklace looks very beautiful.

“You don't like the necklace?” ask Abhimanyu lirih. “This is very simple, I can also guess that you might not like–”

“I like,” Caca fast. It was undeniable how much Caca loved that little gift from Abhimanyu. They both love simplicity and Caca doesn't mind how simple it is.

“I just don't know what to say other than thank you and I'm still confused as to how you give me a gift. My birthday is still very long,” said Caca explained why it had been silent since.

Abhimanyu's lips smiled again. He went and asked permission to put the necklace on Caca's neck and without a doubt Caca agreed.

“I Just want to give you a gift. By the way, this I bought using my first salary,” explained Abhimanyu while hooking the necklace behind Caca's neck.

Caca touched the necklace pendant. His lips covered a small smile, but looked very happy and sincere. Her net looked at Abhimanyu who was now sitting back in front of her. He could see the love of Abhimanyu for him. The spotlight he had always seen in Abhimanyu's eyes since the past month, but he had often ignored it.
