Martin's Phrase

”Actually the main reason I hold you hostage is because I am so angry and disappointed with you,”. ”Gue think you sincerely want to meet me. But it turns out you only want to help Ghevin.”

Rani is not good. ”Gue did not think about the impact to lo,” he muttered.

”The impact is much bigger than you think, Rani,” Martin said. ”Moreover, because you are the first girl I ever gave you more than a week.”

Rani's forehead creased, not understanding Martin's intent. But then Martin's words when for the third time they were in Cafe 69 rang in his mind.

”Usually, if I like the same girl, I'll give her a week to see if she has a little bit of the same feeling as me.”

"Martin even gave me more than a week. Does that mean she likes me more than any other girl she's ever liked? Ah, it's impossible. He's always been with me."

”Somewhere since when, I always think of lo, and it makes me wonder,” continued Martin. ”Lo is beautiful, but it's also coercive and super noisy. So it should be easy for me to get rid of lo from my mind.”

"Damn Martin. Praise me, but the edges just do me."

”But it is precisely these lo traits that make my life more colorful,” Martin said. ”Gue so can't deny that I have feelings for lo.”

"Martin doesn't really like me, does he? Because if he's serious, it means he hides his feelings very well behind his shock."

”Gue likes lo, Rani,” Martin said.

"God. Martin really likes me."

Obviously this is a record for Rani—two guys expressed love for her on the same day. The problem is, the first guy who has definitely received his love. Previously Rani had rejected men several times, but this seemed to be the hardest. Perhaps because he had already felt the pain of being rejected himself, so did not want Martin to feel the same way as him, even though it was inevitable.

”Gue really appreciate your feeling to me,” respond Rani. ”But I can't—”

”Gue knows you can't reciprocate my feelings,” Martin cut. ”Gue also knows your love is only for a Ghevin. But still, that doesn't stop me from expressing my feelings to you. I don't expect any answers from you. I just want you to know.”

"Oh. Good."

”Maybe this is because I have violated the principles I created myself,” Martin said. ”If I hadn't broken it, and stayed loving for a week, I wouldn't have broken my heart like this.”

"Well, Martin is heartbroken. I have to cheer him up. Broken heart can not be prolonged—if I doubt he will cry for days like me."

”Wait a minute, yes,” says Rani. ”Stay here, don't go anywhere.” Then, regardless of Martin's confusion, Rani immediately ran towards the cafeteria.

It was not only Martin who was confused, but also Miko. Miko was already going to follow Rani, but Rani picked up

hands, asking him to stay still in his place.

Perhaps because it was already night time, the food in the cafeteria stayed a little. Finally Rani bought only three croquettes, three lempers, and a bottle of Akua. As fast as lightning, Rani stood back in front of Martin. Rani then held out a plastic bag of food and drink she held onto Martin.

”Times I want to treat lo, but it always fails, and only today,” said Rani. ”Ngaktir can be said as well anyway, in fact, because most of me buy using lo— money the return of my loan time. The point is, I don't owe you anything else. Oh, and one more.” Rani rummaged through her bag, pulled out Martin's handkerchief, then stretched it out to Martin. ”I'm washing it. Now it's back clean and fragrant.”

At first Martin could only stare at the plastic bags and handkerchiefs that were now in his hands. Then she smiled, and unlike her smile that Rani had seen before, her smile this time lasted for more than a second. Rani was amazed at how handsome Martin was when he smiled.

”Lo should smile more often like that,” comments Rani. ”Dijamin deh, many girls who will compete for the heart lo.”

Martin's smile disappeared. Wrong Rani. Rani should not have commented anything.

”Still for the transaction, Ran, and thanks also because you want to talk to me,” said Martin. In total, he thanked Rani three times. ”Although it's only five minutes, I'm already quite happy.”

Coupled with the time it took Rani to get to the cafeteria, it had actually been over five minutes. But, if it can be more entertaining Martin, Rani will give five minutes of extra time. Even more than that, an hour is okay. At most Miko the moss.

Martin's shoulder slumped as he clamored at Rani and walked towards the front door. Rani is sad to see Martin so, especially Martin so because of him.

”Why do you buy Martin food and drink?” asked Miko, who was suddenly already standing beside Rani.

”Make entertain him, at the same time pay my debt with him,” replied Rani.

Following Martin. Rani and Miko then also walked towards the front door. Martin disappears quickly, as once Rani and Miko arrive at the hospital's basement, Martin is nowhere to be seen.
