Good News


Indri cried, hugged Maharani without being able to control emotions. Her feelings of happiness led her to refuse to believe that she was successful. Hanasta had to show proof that Indri really graduated. The sound of applause and congratulations his friends said to the shy girl.


"You didn't say you were still waiting for the outcome of the trial. I thought we were all going to graduate" Widia said, drinking her ice. "We are waiting for your graduation news, Indri. Don't forget to invite us all."


The girl he was talking to was not back to normal. His hair was so messy with a wet face. Maharani must be extra patient until Indri controls himself. A happy look was on him without being noticed. These ten friends are happy to meet today. With lots of good news and a familiar laugh.


Indri permission to go to the toilet with Maharani, fix the face that is not radiant anymore. "I don't believe I can be the only student who graduated" Indri said, looking at a wet face in the bathroom mirror. "I can tell my parents without worrying now."


"You're awesome, Indri." Maharani leaned against the wall next to the glass, looking at her friend who was washing her face with water. It would take at least ten minutes for the two to return. Indri must wear thin makeup again so as not to be seen after crying.


On the other hand, the table that the two friends left behind became crowded with returned snacks. There are plenty of snacks to try so they plan on buying everything one-on-one. They didn't know when else to be able to gather in a complete formation like this, so just assume every one of these meetings would be the last one to not regret.


Utari shifted the snack in front of her so Ignacia could feel it too. Because from earlier this friend looks a bit grim like Indri. "Is there a problem?" Utari whispered in the middle of her crowd of friends who talked about Widia's boyfriend. Utari wanted to make sure her friend was not keeping anything painful on her own.


Ignacia shook her head, she just felt relaxed. His hand was empty, Utari thought that Ignacia might have forgotten to bring a cell phone and intended to lend her hers. The girl pointed to the bag behind her as a code. Maybe he forgot his most precious thing. Ignacia just wants to enjoy the time without holding the phone.


"What if I play truth or dare again?" Ignacia turned to Hanasta who proposed a game. Directly Widia stared intently, crossing both hands making a large X without rejecting. He refuses if the used bottle breaks again or his friends give him a tough challenge like last time.


Upon the return of Maharani also Indri, Hanasta who was next to the two immediately offered a plate of snacks. Intending to fill the energy of Indri who had evaporated after crying. His nose was still flushed, his eyes slightly puffy. Her thin makeup was not so influential. So maybe a snack can help.


"Dianti, how'd you become a hotel receptionist?" Aruna was suddenly curious. They are close but rarely share news. "Your part-time job too, is there anything interesting?" The friend leaned back on the chair, looking completely at the one being questioned.


"Nothing interesting. I plan to quit my job at the hotel." Aruna fixed her sitting position, her eyes looking as if asking why Dianti should quit the promising job. "One day I was serving a drunk man. The man scolded me with a bad speech for not being able to give the room he used to order. Someone else had it first."


The dianti was stiff, his feeling was crushed because not only once did the man come and abuse him. Sometimes when not drunk, the man uttered inappropriate words while carrying a different girl. Reportedly the person has great power so that the hotel can only give what he wants so as not to get involved in the problem. If dealing with the police, the hotel will cooperate with the authorities.


The problem is simple, only Dianti who is not strong always smells the aroma of alcohol and unpleasant speech. Aruna was right, the job at the hotel is very promising especially the hotel is large and luxurious. Unfortunately Dianti had to keep his heart from getting hurt due to a shameless man who wastes his money just to have fun with the girl j*lang for self-satisfaction.


Ignacia was listening to the conversation of her two friends. There was absolutely no intention to comment or provide support like Aruna gave. Dianti just said if he got tired of being in hotels and preferred to be in a cafe on his parents. Although it did not sound clear what Aruna and Dianti discussed after the topic of the man earlier, Ignacia could still feel Dianti's discomfort. Must be heavy for him.


Ignacia wondered which man would do such a thing to the poor girl she had met several times. Which crazy man has high power without a conscience? Ignacia was furious to know that.


The inter-partman conversation continues. Discuss all topics together. Indri who had been silent so come to voice. Now he must have believed that the announcement he saw again wasn't fabricated. A smile several times infused perfectly on his face hearing Widia's strange flirting. Kemala only part of making videos that he will later send to their friendship group.


The sun began to rise, the cold air brought by the air conditioner was still no less powerful than the extraordinary energy of the god of day. As a result, the owner of the long table in the corner of this room did not realize it was time to go home. Rananta forgot that he could only rent this table until noon. But his nine friends still refused to go home. It's been a long time since we've been together and still want to play together.


After lunch at the cafe, the ten friends plan to go find a photo studio in the mall. Aruna said that the place just opened a month ago. There are many accessories to choose from in addition to the advantage of being able to do photo sessions without the help of anyone. That way the visitors can freely take pictures without feeling awkward.


Because the place was just opened, Aruna did not know that the place would be very crowded. Coupled with the troops he brought, it felt like it would take a long time. While waiting, Utari held up Ignacia's arm to say something. Just now Ilham sent a message, asking why Utari why the girl has not been online in the game today.


There was at least some chat material that Ignacia could discuss with Utari. This round-eyed girl has promised herself not to get too excited when getting a message from Inspiration. She thought that the man she liked could be curious about her. If only a fad, Ilham did not need to pay attention to when Utari would appear right?


"Rather than me being as stupid as I used to be, I wanted to see if Ilham could get closer to me. You know, her ex-lovers are perfect in my eyes, I'm afraid they're back together and I'm just used as an object of treating boredom." Utari took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. "I'd be ready if Ilham wanted to ask me out."


Ignacia chuckled, nodding Utari's words without but. In front of them, Kemala was busy calling his lover who asked where the existence of this idol. "When can I get a call from Ilham like Kemala?" Utari asked who. Seeing Kemala being so noticed made him want to feel the same way.


Thirty minutes finally passed. All ten of these friends were tired of waiting. Widia and Hanasta leading the way ahead were already impatient to enter. As soon as the previous visitors came out, this horde of young people immediately invaded. In the room there are many photo support accessories that can be directly used.


Ignacia was confused as to what to choose because everything there seemed funny. Utari was ready with her cat's ear bando, approaching Ignacia to give her discovery. He went straight to his friend without asking for approval. A Green alien's spectacle was pinned over Ignacia's nose. "Wear this alone, haha looks good on you." Utari moved her friend to look at the glass.


Seems to be inviting laughter.


The glasses Ignacia took off for a while, circulating her gaze looking for other accessories. "What if I wear this?" Ignacia grabbed a large crab-shaped hat, drowning her head in it until she saw only her face. Utari disagreed, still wearing the glasses to the friend. Ignacia's face doesn't look the same anymore.


"Your face is invisible" said Kemala. In his hand was a cell phone that he used to make videos for behind the scenes of the photos to be taken. "Use one of them to make your face visible, Ignacia." After that Kemala passed, recording another friend on the other side of the accessories place.


Ignacia gave up. He took off his crab hat and only wore alien glasses. "Ignacia, this suits you well." Widia appears, carrying a flower bandana. He said it was good to wear Ignacia because it was compatible with his long hair. Not compatible with the glasses he wears but still Ignacia wear only so that his head is not empty.


"Don't want to change glasses?" Indri asked. In his hand was already a love shaped glasses of easy red pastel color. It fits better with the bandana that Widia brought earlier. Ignacia took the other glasses that were proffered, later she will wear for the rest of the photos. So there is no choice of his friend that is not important.


"You guys are done? Let's go in." Aruna opened the door to the photo studio, where there were already tools for taking pictures from afar. "Who will do it?" Aruna asked after the door was closed. Others asked Aruna to do it because she thought she knew better. Aruna was also the first to enter here.


One minute for one photo, ten photos for ten minutes. The photos can then be printed or sent directly to an email. Photographing in a room that is quite spacious with ten people is not an ordinary thing. A lot to do before the ten-minute photo session begins. Stylish anything that is important is funny and can be seen forever, Kemala's advice is quick.


Of the many photos can only be selected ten. It took a few minutes to make sure the ten photos taken were really good. Honey if there's a little wrong. Widia is the most active. He wanted to show it to his girlfriend when he got home.


Rananta gave his email account to transfer the photos that had been taken earlier. It's a shame they came here unprepared. Perhaps carrying an alma mater and work uniform can be a great costume. Maybe photos in uniform from Junior High is also not a bad choice. Consider it an interval of time from the first meet to the present.


Ignacia sent Rajendra one photo, counting it as news after his time with his best friends. As a chat opener also for their messaging activities. Rajendra opened the photo that was sent and then suddenly called. It feels strange that Rajendra suddenly makes a call. Usually when he is busy he will not do this.


"I'm coming home tonight, do you want to see me tomorrow?"


The girl who had been half asleep while holding a novel in one hand so fixed her sitting position. Replied out loud, "Of course. Let's meet. What if we go to my place with friends gone earlier? You'll love it."


Rajendra agrees while Ignacia feels comfortable there. Tomorrow he'll pick up for lunch. The chat material Ignacia wanted to deliver had to be postponed for tomorrow. Rajendra was on his way home, he had to pack up some stuff then go to the station. No chat time, no more Ignacia sleeping hours.


The call ended, Rajendra's phone was off.


Ignacia hastily hastened a bedtime ritual that had been delayed due to a good chapter of the novel. Tomorrow he will meet Rajendra, dating after his introduction to Ignacia's parents the other day. He could ask a little bit about Rajendra's feelings after that day. Maybe after that Rajendra invited him to play at home too.


One message picked up Ignacia's phone just before she turned off the data. A message from Rananta read that he wanted to take Ignacia to work quietly at Dianti's office later this month. Rananta had already sent a message to each of his friends without telling Dianti. As a surprise, Dianti did not graduate.


Rananta had already planned many things alone for fear of suddenly leaking out on which person he wanted to surprise. Rananta confesses to Ignacia if he accidentally hears the story Dianti told Aruna. He is sympathetic and wants to provide support.


Ignacia didn't know if it could come. He will contact Rananta again a few days before departure. His friends will not go anywhere until the end of this month unless Dianti, later they will leave together to the city of Dianti.


Should Ignacia tell Rajendra this news tomorrow? But it won't be a surprise later. Ignacia wants to see Rajendra through Dianti. Maybe the girl knows where her friend's lover is. Make a surprise for your friend and lover at the same time. Wonderful idea.
