...Happy Reading.... ...

...***...

The iconic British mini cooper of the 1960s is perfectly parked in the parking lot of the HAMBER cafe. The Mini Cooper was a small car produced by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and its successors from 1959 to 2000. The 805 million car had only started to be driven by Nathan a year ago. From high school to college in the third semester, Nathan is more comfortable using his favorite sport bike. Therefore, he only used his father's car for certain events.

The next minute, four passengers exit from two different sides of the car body. Three beautiful girls and one guy who is the same age, with their own style. Nathan, in his casual style, wears his favorite black t-shirt with old gray jeans, as well as white snackers labeled with the famous brand. The three girls who participated in the car were Widya, Kartika and Karin. They are compact wearing jeans and casual shirts, only Widya is still wearing outer made of knit, so that the cold that hit the pores of her skin can be reduced .

Once inside the cafe area, the four of them immediately scanned the whereabouts of the three friends who had been waiting for five minutes. As per the information read from WhatsApp group 'Friend forever'.

“That's them.” Karin leads her friends' third footsteps to the table of Edo, Harsa and Zakir who first reserve the table to the cafe owner. A round table with seven seats is already available there.

"Hi, hi, been waiting?" Karin clenched her palms in a greeting sign of the youth of today, which was greeted by Harsa's fist making her clash, then turned to Zakir and Edo in turn. Nathan, Kartika and Widya did the same. After greeting each other they then choose their seats.

Nathan pulls out the chair he deliberately chose for Widya to occupy. No doubt make those who are there so cheer, "Huuuuuu .. bucinnya not cross," chirped Zakir dominating.

However, it was all just Nathan responded to casually. He raised his shoulders and sat down in an empty chair next to Widya. Not much different from Nathan, Widya also did not want to bother with the babbling of his friends. He just rolled both his eyes, lazy. For him, it is free to talk many times to Nathan not to do something that makes people misunderstand. The man will not listen.

However, not for Harsa, though she cheered, but a bitter smile that she pulled from the corner of her lips, it is enough to prove if he is feeling pain in the corner of his heart because it has harbored love.

“OK, this time we order as usual, yes!” Edo asked his friends for approval.

“Oke.”

“Siip.” Harsa and Zakir's voices sounded simultaneously.

“Three of us come, deh.” Kartika points to herself, Widya and Karin.

“What ajelah.” Nathan last commented.

After that, Edo waved at the waitress that was not far from his place. Order what is their menu habit. Not a few of the waitress there who have known them since High School and have memorized their favorite menu.

"Hey! Why do the three of you look so thin? You guys mostly errands?” Zakir's two eyeballs scanned the three girls in front of him after waiting from their desks after they finished recording orders.

"Isn't he?" Karin first said, "this is because my diet worked, Zak!" replied Karin enthusiastically watching her appearance at that very moment. He is a perfect person in appearance. So that it is very maintain the diet and frequent treatment.

"Yes, suerr, deh!” seloroh Zakir, then his eyes turned to Widya and Kartika. ”Lo both, you guys are also on a diet like him?” Zakir pointed at Widya and Kartika with his index finger, and pointed his chin towards Karin who was glazed on the camera feature on his phone.

"Do not diet, our minds have been forced to do the same tasks and practices, Zak. That's enough to make our bodies thin" Widya replied, "yes, right, Tik!" Widya nudged Kartika's arm which was even daydreaming. Not a daydreamer actually, he was scanning Zakir's appearance which looked more and more cool, he said.

"Eh, what? Yes, very cool," replied Kartika. Of course, the answer even invited laughter that greeted him. Kartika's answers that are fussy and not connected according to them are very funny.

“What's it, answered what. Jaka Tingkir ride ojek, deh, do not connect geblek,” taunted Nathan.

Sontak Widya directly touched Kartika's forehead, “Lo sane, ‘kan, Tik? No fever, how come?” Widya's actions make everything laugh.

“Lo think what, Tik? What's cool?” karin continued with a satisfied laugh mocking his best friend.

Kartika misbehaved, not knowing what to answer. Do not ask with the hue of Kartika's face, his face warms up and may be as red as a tomato. While the others were still laughing until their eyes were watering. His eyes occasionally stole a glance towards Zakir, the man only gave a stifled smile, not daring to laugh.

All did not realize that between Kartika and Zakir was compact to control the heartbeat. However, both of them still did not understand what they were feeling.

"Udah, dong, you guys! Shame on you, same as the other visitors. Does this cafe belong to your ancestors?" Widya murmured while patting Kartika's shoulder plan which became the center of their laughter. "Sorry, yes!" regret Widya for making fun of her best friend. Kartika only smiled faintly in response.

They were still trying to hold back the laughter, before the laughter completely died down and created silence at their table. After a few seconds, Edo tried to switch the conversation by remembering the ospek period. "Eh, look at Tika like gini, I want to go to ospek time first" said Edo.

Hearing that, Harsa recalled something, "Ah, yes. I'm so sick of you, Kir. When you are punished when ospek, continue to be told to jump the same frog kating (sister level) beautiful, because you answer their questions late one second."

Those who heard the sound of laughter more loudly, their memory flew to the dimension in the early ospek period. At that time, Zakir became the target of a beautiful cat who openly fancied Zakir. The beautiful kating was deliberately making things up so that Zakir was easier for him to approach.

Zakir clucked lazily, "Yes, damn the Queen caper, make me ashamed to know, no! That's why I was punished!"

Still with an unstoppable tickle, they try to remember about each other's ugliness or misfortune.

Widya had choked up, but then smiled in a knot with Harsa's attention. “Thanks,” he said slowly.

Harsa just nodded with a clumsy smile, he also did not expect it to be as brave as it was to do so. Then switch again to Zakir to continue his ridicule, “And another one, the advice of Widya who told you to go into the mud, directly lo jabanin aja.” Harsa was more and more chuckling followed by the others, their memories seemed to meet when Zakir went into the mud to avoid the pursuit of a goose that was exploding his anger. This happened because Zakir was anxiously playing the child of the goose.

The moment was full of happiness, but not for Nathan. Although he also chuckled, but the man felt a different taste when he saw Widya laughing because of Harsa's chatter. From earlier his eagle eyes scoured cynically, especially when Harsa's shameless hand slipped Widya's hair. Nathan doesn't seem to like it. Maybe he felt unacceptable if there was someone else who could make Widya laugh like that, because all this time only Nathan was able to make Widya always happy. What makes Widya laugh until she is cut open is Harsa. The one who hurt Widya.

“Udah, woy, stop! Every time we meet, I'm the center of attention! The other one is that, napa?” furious Zakir. He felt his disgrace being completely dismantled. His absurdity is now a bully for his friends.

However, unfortunately Zakir's protest was not heard at all. They still open the old disgrace Zakir who somehow only he who often hit bad luck. If only two waitresses did not come with their orders, perhaps their stomachs would cramp from continuing to laugh.

After the order was neatly held, they again talked about small talk and a myriad of tasks from lecturers who often made them unable to sleep well. They will be enthusiastic if Edo who spoke because the business knowledge he received a little gave a different experience from the seven of them.

Every now and then Harsa thrust a potato stick into Widya's mouth, with a little awkward Widya accepted. Nathan glances at Harsa cynically, though only responded by shrugging Harsa's shoulders, as if to upset Nathan.

Harsa again intends to feed a second potato stick to Widya. There will be no second or third time. As soon as possible it was taken by Nathan. No doubt the pranks of Harsa caught the mouth of Zakir lemes, “You guys, yes! My astonishment!” Zakir throws a snack in front of him towards Nathan and Harsa. “It will, I marry you both!” he continued, shaking his head.

In his heart Zakir still grumbled annoyedly, "These two chutes are no tired of Widya's seizure!"

Yes, every time Nathan and Harsa meet them will be childish, racing to get Widya's attention. While Edo, Karin, and Kartika, will only be a loyal audience to see the ridiculous quarrel of Nathan and Harsa. For them it has been common and natural since time immemorial.

A small storm with pranks is one that makes their friendship more colorful. They are grateful to be friends who support each other even though sometimes small fights can not be separated from their daily lives.

“By the way, it's malem, nih. Unplug, yuk!” Karin checks her favorite watch, then points to Widya.

Kartika also checked the direction of the clock on her wrist. “Yes, yuk! Tomorrow I have morning class,” he replied as he shifted his chair and stood up.

“Yes already, I pay first, that's why we unplug together.” Edo immediately calls waitress to get the bill, then pays for it. After completion, the seven different students headed for the two cars parked next to each other.

“Lo want to be with me, Wid?” haggar Harsa.

“Gue picked up, I took the shuttle home,” Nathan before Widya replied.

“Nih ... make Widya two, let's be fair!” Edo gives Harsa a fruit knife after picking it up on the dashboard of Harsa's car. The sacred object was left in Harsa's car, used by the mother who peeled mangoes in her car.

Spontaneous Nathan and Harsa stared at each other towards Edo.

“You mute storm. Dizzy me! Cepet unplug!” Edo pulled Harsa and Zakir's arms together with both of his hands. Like a child, Harsa resignedly followed Edo, although his heart was somewhat upset.

“Ck, shit! You bring it, deh!” Harsa throws her car keys at Edo. Zakir just shook his head.

Finally they returned to the initial formation upon departing. Edo who drives Harsa's favorite SUV is being directed by the parking attendant to look for a gap to the outside. Hamber cafe is growing rapidly, to add several cafe buildings on the left and right side. The parking area is also wider following the capacity of visitors, especially if it is a weekend.

“See you, you guys.” Edo waved at Nathan's car.

“Drug,” reply Karin

“Bye.” Widya also chimed in.

The two cars in opposite directions again split the streets of the capital which was getting more and more crowded at night. Their faces sparkled brightly, after releasing longing and a disturbing fatigue.
