YOU'RE CHARGING ME

23. POOR DAVE

Four people were sitting at Stanley Mart enjoying their drinks. Who else if not Celio, Regan, Jesica and Natlie. They look tired because the college assignments are starting to pile up. Celio and Regan have also started thesis work.

“ I think I want to stop college.” Natlie leaned her shoulders on the chair and closed her eyes for a moment.

“ Why Nat,” Regan glances at Natlie's flash while drinking his drink “ Bentar again it does not feel like your lecture is finished. Should spirit dong.” Regan said encouraging Natlie.

Natlie opened her eyes then looked at Regan “ Ahemmm..” Natlie exhaled gently then leaned her shoulders back.

Jesica and Celio who were watching the show just shook their heads, unwilling to interfere with Regan and Natlie's current topic of conversation.

Ting…

Whatsapp Nattlie notification reads “ Natlie, later afternoon Om pick up well. We're BBQ-an's event at home.” Fill in Dave's message to Natlie.

Natlie looks at Celio and Regan in turn, she plans to invite Regan and Celio. Tomorrow is the weekend, the show is also night and surely only Jesica, Natlie, and Dave are on the show. Very cool according to Natlie “ Can I take Kak Celio and Regan friends Kak Celio.” Natlie sent the message to Dave.

“ Can.”

Reading the message finally the spirit of Natlie who began to fade again as before, who had been moody finally laughed sumringah. Makes Regan, Celio, and Jesica surprised to see her fickle behavior today.

Jesica brings her seat closer to Natlie “ Aye you okay? Don't make the cave afraid?” Said Jesica holding Natlie's head in a tone of voice made-up like a worried person.

Natlie looked at Jesica with her smile. It even makes Jesica shocked “ You really okay?” Jesica was worried.

“ Ahhh Natlie smiled “ Om Dave take us to his house later in the afternoon,” Natlie switch staring Regan and Celio “ Brother Celio, Kak Regan come well to the house Om Dave.”

“ We can actually join Nat?” Regan.

“ Well chance tuh Gan, you have been repeatedly rejected Natlie. This opportunity is close to Dave's brother was a new Natlie. Request blessing.” Said Celio with a soft tone because Regan had expressed her feelings to Natlie many times but the result was always the same Natlie could not accept Regan even though there was a sense of comfort when with Regan. What's he afraid of how Regan's reaction would be if she knew everything? Can Regan accept all of Natlie's past?. Natlie didn't mean to hide everything just waiting for the right time.

Although the word Celio is a trick, it even makes Regan to come to Dave's house. Regan nodded her head to Natlie “ May deh Nat, besides there is no activity later tonight.”

Natlie nods her head and smiles “ I said well to Om Dave so later in the afternoon do not pick me up with Caca, let us together aja.”

Natlie struggles with her gadget and sends a message to Dave.

The Dave House….

The clock shows at 7 p.m., they reach Dave's house.

Natlie knocks on Dave's door and it doesn't take long for Dave to open it.

“ Udah on coming.” Say Dave.

Natlie hugs Dave with spoiled “ Om kok never to home anyway. Said Weekend must be home but never tuh.” Natlie let go of her embrace.

“ Sorry well Om is busy so much.” Dave said, Dave recently was very busy taking care of the license because he was setting up his own company but it was not known by Natlie or Jesica.

“ Come in.” Dave let them in.

“ Brother Dave, know this Regan my friend.” Celio approached Dave about to whisper something “ Again close to Natlie kak.”

Dave put his foot back one time “ Really?” Dave asked Celio and then turned to look at Regan who was smiling.

Dave welcomed Regan's hand, then whispered in Regan's ear “ Careful well, Natlie's spoiled son bangat.” Dave smiled at regan.

“ Let's go back, everything is ready at the back.” Dave said then walked back first.

They also grilled the meat that Dave had prepared.

“ Jes let me yah yang behind the meat you sit aja.” Celio's voice took over the chopsticks from Jesica's hand.

Jesica let go of those chopsticks “ I'm just here well.” Said Jesica reluctant to go from beside Celio, of course Celio agreed to the words Jesica. Small things but able to make Celio's heart cool even though he was grilling meat.

Meanwhile…

“ I help yah wash the vegetables.” Natlie told Regan who was sorting vegetables.

Regan stared at Natlie “ May, I also do not know this vegetable in the wash where.”

“ Come with me.” Natlie walked first.

While Dave who saw the scene in front of him only grimaced “ Did I invite Nara here aja time yah.” Mumbled Dave. Dave takes his gadget in his pocket and sends a message to Nara. But the result is nil, Nara is busy with her work can not go with them.

“ Next time I will directly order ready-made roast meat only.” Said Dave extending mengolek chilli who had stopped because he saw what was in front of him.

The roast is over for the meal, they eat in Dave's backyard.

“ So Om Dave means invite you here because Om wants to establish a small business pray hopefully smoothly well? This is the reason why Om rarely visits your home.” Say Dave.

“ Wahh good luck and smooth well Kak.” Celio.

“ Smoothly always Brother, whatever I must pray while positive.” Said Regan.

“ Spirit om.” Jesica said with a smile.

“ Well dong Om say the reason let me know that is the reason om never come.” Natlie.

“ Thanks everyone, let's continue eating.” Say Dave.

“ Ah open your mouth.” Celio said he was going to feed Jesica.

“ Celio...” Jesica looks shy because there is Dave with them at this time. Inevitably Jesica also opened her mouth because of Celio who did not keep his hands away from her mouth.

Again Dave must see it he exhales slowly “ Kids today most can.” Dave admitted to losing.

The meal also took place with a joking aside and did not forget Natlie's whimper who was tired of his lecture, This time Regan was silent just watching Dave who advised Natlie.” True, Natlie is indeed very spoiled but isn't it looking adorable.” Regan muttered with a smile that did not show too much of an arch on her lips.
