ALDEBY
|16.| Improving

"What do you want?" beby asked snidely at the man and woman before him.

"Gue?" The woman pointed at herself. "Obviously I'm here. I should have been here. I am a Fresh and Star artist. Why?"

Beby quiet. In fact, he was lazy to respond to these two cursed humans. However, it seems like they are indeed looking for intentions because of. Evidently with the two who did not give Beby a way to pass.

"If Zidan, yes, he's my nemenin, that's." The woman again made a sound while staring defiantly at Beby. The itching lengthened Beby's flaky fingers. It was eager for Beby to claw at the face of the woman before him. "Zidan, right, my fiancee."

"Side," said Beby coldly.

"We haven't seen you in a long time, you know. You don't want a reunion, do you? Remembering our good times of High School. Especially, prom-night time." This time, the man spoke.

"Soge away." Beby was still trying to be patient. Although it was very curious to feel Beby beating the two humans.

"Amanda, I wonder, deh, same lo. Not that high school time you like literature, huh? Why is she a model now?" The woman clad in a maroon-colored knee-length dress with no arms took a step forward. "Oh, I know! You must be one of the plus-plus models, huh?"

'Plak!'

Beby can't take it anymore. His patience has gone beyond the limit. This time, Beby will not remain silent. "So your mouth, yeah. Just so you know, Fara. Your fiance is very-amat you are proud of, nothing more than a jerk who has no conscience. You two, both trash!"

"Lo—"

"WHAT?!" yelled Beby loudly. Both of his eyes glared towards Fara and Zidan. "So unhappy, yeah, you guys. To the point of having to disrupt my life. So desperate are you guys? Huh uh?!"

Fara hissing. Both of his eyes were flushed. His chest rose up and down irregularly due to the anger boiling in every stream of his blood. "Lo really, yeah!"

Fara's hand was ready to throw a slap into Beby's cheek. However, someone first caught Fara's wrist.

Still in the hand gripping Fara's wrist, the person turned towards Beby who was standing behind him. "Lo's okay?"

The one asked just nodded. His hand moved to grab Aldef's wrist who was idle. "We're just going in."

Aldef nodded briefly. The man turned his head back towards Fara and Zidan. Aloud, Aldef flung Fara's hand. His eyes stared intently at the two humans. "Gue doesn't know who you are. But obviously, if you bother Beby again, you're dealing with me."

***

Adzan magrib had passed by a while ago. Aldef has also been performing the magrib prayer service at the mosque which is about 15 meters from the FS studio. Actually, Aldef intended to go home immediately after the prayer. However, the figure of Beby who was busy playing a cellphone while sitting casually on the terrace of studio 3 undo Aldef's intentions.

"Not home yet?" aldef asked after taking a sitting position in the seat right in front of Beby. Now, only a wooden box table limits them.

"That's a question or a statement?" reply Beby. "Obviously I'm still here."

"Well prayers?"

"Udah."

Aldef smiled slightly. "Why is it still here? Isn't your photo shoot done an hour ago?"

Beby scrunched his forehead. The girl tilted her head as she looked at Aldef in wonder. "Lo know where my shooting schedule is?"

Hearing the question, Aldef looked away. Avoiding unwanted things from happening. Wrong behavior, for example?

Not yet Aldef replied, Beby again voiced. "Againwait, Miko. He said, uh, pick me up after class."

"Well try to call?" aldef asked who was answered by Beby. "Try the phone. Ask where it is."

Beby nodded, agreeing to Aldef's suggestion. His hand grabbed the phone and dialed Miko's number. Beby's call was received on the third dial.

"Yes, By? Why?" The sound of Miko caressing Beby's eardrum.

"Where is Lo, brother? Still long?"

"It seems so, deh. I'm stuck, here."

"Where is the position?"

"It's only about fifty meters from the campus area, hehehe."

"Haish!" beby Umpat. "Why didn't you try that earlier?! Can I watch you wait a long time!"

"Yes, sorry. How you doing, dong? People jammed gini."

"Go back by yourself, huh? We'll meet you at the apartment."

"That's? But when you go home alone? Nothing gini nights?"

Beby clucked in annoyance. "Lo forgot how long I've been living in Jakarta myself?"

"But, right, the conditions are different, By. Lo, right, again ...."

"Udah, ah! Anyway, we met at the apartment. I went back by myself. Hye!"

'Tut!'

Beby pressed the red-colored phone symbol in annoyance.

"Sister Miko, tuh. A new hour is coming out of campus. Where the streets are jammed again. If you can't pick it up, you should, right, ngabarin. Males I waited for hours. There's a mushroom, uh, body!"

The row of sentences with a grumbling tone was successfully Beby said in one breath. Aldef smiled faintly at the babble of the girl before him.

How adorable!

As if struck by what he had just done, Beby turned his gaze toward Aldef. "Sorry, I'm nagging you the same."

Aldef chuckled softly. "Yes already. Want to go home now?"

"Thank's earlier. But, I brought my own car."

Both Aldef's eyebrows linked in wonder. "What if I go home with you?"

Checkmate!

Baboya! (stupid!) as a Beby to himself. Since when did Beby grow up to be this ge-er super girl?

"Gue go back first." In order to save her pride, Beby waltzed away without intending to see Aldef's reaction.

Meanwhile, Aldef who did not move from his position only focused his bead in the direction of Beby with a crescent moon so wide adorning his lips.

***

After parking her car in the basement of Golden Apartment, Beby rushed down. It coincided with Aldef who had just parked his car right next to Beby's car.

"By" called Aldef who made the owner turn his head.

"Yes?"

"You want to eat first, right? The Rainbow Cafe."

Beby thought for a moment. His instincts were busy thinking about the decision to accept or reject Aldef's offer. From the message that Miko sent about ten minutes ago, Beby got information that the brother seemed to be coming home late tonight. Because, instead of going straight home, Miko instead agreed to invite her friends to hang out.

"By?" Seeing that Beby was silent, Aldef called the girl back. "Where?"

A sweet smile was engraved on Beby's lips. "Can, deh. You're the deal, aren't you?"

The crescent moon that originally perched on Beby's lips also spread to Aldef's lips. "Yes. Yuk!"

Thanks to the incident earlier this afternoon, the awkwardness that occurred between Aldef and Beby slowly dissipated. They did not say much, considering that while at FS Beby was busy with his photoshoots and endors. But, at least Aldef and Beby both knew, that there was no more anger between them.

Arriving at the Rainbow Cafe, Aldef and Beby approached the booking table. They were then warmly welcomed by Malik: the barista with the title of 'the most chatty man'. Malik's barista friends gave him that title.

"Eh! We have the arrival of a couple that is viral again, nih," said Malik who made him get a shot from two pairs of eyes at once.

"Lo really, yeah!" upset Aldef.

Instead of being afraid, Malik laughed out loud. "out. I'm tired, deh. Every customer of this cafe chat, must be the topic about Beby the selebgram who has been kissed by his work partner."

'Plak!'

A slap from Aldef's hand landed smoothly on Malik's lips. "Lo's voice can be denigrated, can't it?!"

"Awh! Dower, here, my lips!" malik Grunts.

"Bodo very!"

"Ekhem!" Beby cleared his throat, making Aldef and Malik's gaze compactly directed at him. "Gue can order now? Laper."

"Oh. That can!" sahut Malik's. "So, what's the message, Beby?"

Malik called Beby's name while glancing at Aldef. Reluctant to provoke debate, Aldef simply threw a murderous gaze that made Malik giggle.

After ordering, Aldef and Beby chose to sit on a bench containing two people located not far from the booking table.

"By, I went to the toilet, yeah."

Beby gave a nod in response. After Aldef's departure, Beby took out a sky-blue-coated book complete with his bullet from the bag. Then, Beby drowned in every word that flowed in his imagination.

While Beby was busy with pen, paper, and script, Aldef, who was one step away from the toilet floor, suddenly stopped. There was a girl who looked familiar sitting at one of the tables not far from the toilet of the Rainbow Cafe. There was nothing strange about the girl, but ....

"Gue saw it wrong, didn't he?"
