Beautiful Monster
Be Odd

Rajendra pulls his phone out of his pocket, there is an important name on the screen until Rajendra can't heed Ignacia's request for now. The man got up, took a few steps away so that his voice would not disturb the others. Danita realizes the passing of her friend's partner with a question mark feeling.

"Why Rajendra prefers to chat with other people even though Ignacia craves this holiday."

Danita patted her friend's shoulder so as not to think negatively. Even if invisible, Ignacia's gaze kept on Rajendra. Until the man returns, the girl rests her body without caring if Rajendra still fixes her sitting position. "Hey wait a minute." His words seemed to be deliberately not heard due to annoyance.

"The person who called earlier is more important than me, right?" Ignacia's sharp question made Danita and Bahri turn their heads. Followed by Nesya and Farhan who hurriedly turned their eyes because of the pair code next to him. "If they're more important, why not just meet them now? Why did you have to stay away from me when you picked up the call?"

Ignacia knows she has no right to be upset because answering calls is privacy. Just why should it be lifted? Does that person not know if Rajendra is on vacation? How regrettable. Moreover, Rajendra continues to turn his back on him if Ignacia not perting at all. It doesn't feel fair. Raga Rajendra is with her, but her attention is always taken by someone who is invisible to her.

Her lover could only apologize, leaving Ignacia heavily in the most comfortable position without refuting in the slightest. Rajendra has turned off the data on his phone, so there will be no interference until this day passes. Ignacia was silent, hearing a thousand apologies for the girl to respond. "Tomorrow will be both of us, I promise."

The sky is getting darker. From under the sea on the other side of the sky, the Goddess of the night would already appear to the surface. Preparing with thousands of guards filled the throne void. Time was running slow for Ignacia. It was as if he could feel every second before the sun completely disappeared. Rather disappointing.

Who was that guy? Why call Rajendra? How many people want the attention of a vacationer? If Rajendra can get busy, later tonight Ignacia can also start checking the manuscript sent to him. Ignacia can also distract her from the couple while being together as Rajendra did.

"You promised," muttered Ignacia softly. He improved his sitting position so that he would no longer be too close to Rajendra. Rajendra's hand on his arm and Ignacia let go slowly. "I don't want you answering any more calls from anyone tomorrow. You promised to focus on both of us."

Selfish, one word Ignacia felt when saying a wish just now. Shouldn't it be selfish to want to feel the warmth of a partner who is rarely met? For this Ignacia will not regret having become selfish. If Rajendra is serious about his remarks, he will not break.

The situation became silent due to Ignacia's sharp tone when on the beach. The two couples beside him were confused as to how. They had never seen Ignacia so disappointed. Danita who wants to raise her voice continues to feel reluctant. He cannot defend anyone. Ignacia has feelings and Rajendra has business that seems important.

The lights around the beach started to light up. It's time for dinner, Bahri and Danita get up first. Try to move the wheel that had stopped. Rajendra got up afterwards, reached out so that Ignacia could stand up easily. There is no reason to refuse. If you continue to be upset, Rajendra can also be a beard.

Before leaving, Rajendra permits to return to his room to pick up something. The wind suddenly came firmer, Ignacia felt an uneasy chill on her innocent arm. Should he go inside and take the jacket from his room? When she was about to step up, Ignacia saw Rajendra again wearing a jacket that covered his long-sleeved shirt. Looks like Ignacia doesn't need to come in.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you" Rajendra once again expressed regret. "I'm guilty, I'm sorry."

In the car, it was now Farhan and Nesya's turn to sit in front. Nesya will guide this car to a good place to eat that the three have visited first. Want to let these three newly joined men have an appetizing seafood. With hard work, the trip to the restaurant did not feel cold.

Ignacia acted as if nothing had happened. Respond to his friends' words and questions as usual. Arriving at the restaurant, Danita had the idea that they would choose a different place to eat. So even though today's theme was a threesome, each of them could enjoy a quiet night together. "Have a good time you all."

Rajendra wants to eat on the second floor, away from the other two couples. Try him holding Ignacia's hand but the girl brushes off a little. "You're still upset with me? I had a sudden call and I couldn't turn it off right away. It was my mother's relatives who called." Rajendra spoke slowly while walking hand in hand with the lover.

Without answering, Ignacia's arms moved to hold her lover back. Let's just say Rajendra has been forgiven without the need for a verbal reply. Their order will be coming in five minutes, so there's less time to chat. Ignacia wants to know why Rajendra keeps calling, there must be a special reason.

"Why should it be today? Do you have a job somewhere else? It was an acquaintance, then the last of the relatives. There's actually a responsibility you've left to get here?" Ignacia doesn't want to look at Rajendra. Afraid to melt and destroy his own feelings. From the corner of his eye, Rajendra seemed to breathe out softly.

The man again apologized for not being able to explain the reason to Ignacia. There's a privacy he doesn't want to tell anyone for now. Later if Rajendra is ready, Ignacia can certainly get a detailed explanation. He has a lot of secrets. Ignacia has never found any explanation.

"Well the food is coming. You should try this, Rajendra." Smoke billowing from a large plate of seafood contains shellfish and sweet sour crabs. The distinctive aroma seemed to fill this half-crowded room. "Wear these plastic gloves so your hands don't get dirty."

It feels strange for Rajendra to have to spend this seafood. When he finished wearing plastic gloves, Rajendra was still silent, his gaze fixed on the food. A bribe of shells thrust in front of the mouth, Ignacia wants her lover to try first. "Try it, it's delicious. Or if you want to eat something else, I'll order."

Ignacia tried the clams and crabs for herself. It feels just as good as last time. "I saw someone ordering steamed seafood with cocolan sauce. I'd like to try it sometime." Hearing that, Rajendra then turned his eyes to look for steamed food that his lover meant.

"There's a floor downstairs before we get in. You don't like this food? You haven't touched the food since." Ignacia felt guilty for ordering on her own. "Do you want to order another meal? Then I'll get you the menu and-"

"Sorry to make you nervous." Rajendra's voice cuts through Ignacia's anxiety. The girl who was about to get up and take off her plastic gloves sat down before her. Looked at the strange man. "I love the food, I'm just happy to be alone with you here. Moreover, you were feeding me food until it became wrong behavior. The food is good."

If it's good, why did Rajendra just shut up as if he wasn't interested? Since his hand was on the table, reluctant to move to eat. It's okay if Rajendra wants to eat another menu, Ignacia can search the menu and order it in no time. With silence, Rajendra moves to feed his lover.

What happened to their date today? Ignacia was getting more and more weird. He left a few seconds of mussel feed in front of his mouth. Ignacia's eyes try to find Rajendra's reluctant intentions early through eye contact. Despite that Ignacia accepted the bribe and smiled happily. Showing that he is happy.

"Tomorrow we wake up early and see the sun rise. What time will we wake up?" Ignacia spoke after her mouth was empty. While the man before him took a while to swallow. An hour before sunrise sounds good. They have time together until breakfast. "Please wake me up tomorrow morning, Rajendra. I'm afraid I'm late to wake up."

His girlfriend nodded, "I'll just call you. You have to go to bed early to wake up when I call." Again Rajendra wants to give a bribe to his lover. Because of lack of patience, there will be a sauce next to the lips of Ignacia. The girl did not expect that the shell being thrust was not right in front of her mouth. "Sorry, I'll get you a tissue for a second." Ignacia who is not focused even Rajendra who apologized.

Rajendra was a caring, kind-hearted man, and always happy to spend time or be bothered by Ignacia. But why does his attitude sometimes seem like he is bored with this relationship? Should they talk about this in the morning? People will be honest when they are tired. Ignacia doesn't want to make Rajendra more tired tonight.

The wind coming from the window made Ignacia shiver at a glance. Rajendra was right, so Ignacia should have worn a sweatshirt with longer arms. Upon her return Rajendra takes a nap from the table behind her, Ignacia accidentally shows her grinning face as if holding something back. Rajendra also felt the chill that had just come. His back is cold.

The man was wearing plastic gloves again. He took off the jacket he was wearing to give his girl. Rajendra's jacket rests on Ignacia's shoulder without having to insert her arm. "You can tell me if it's cold. I'm wearing this so I can lend it to you. It fits your shirt too, right?" The dark brown color of this jacket matches the shirt worn by Ignacia.

"Thank you, sorry to bother."

"You've never been a trouble for me." The sauce next to Ignacia's lips came back clean due to Rajendra's gentle sweep. The man sat down before Ignacia as if what he had done was nothing big. By the way Rajendra also holds back a lot not to talk. Rajendra had previously told many stories. Between holding back or no longer having actual chat material.

Ignacia tells her plan to read a bit of the script. Installing work so as not to accumulate too much after the holidays. Rajendra listened carefully, offering to help Ignacia do the job if possible. Maybe while sitting near the beach, enjoy eating alone without interruption.

Of course Ignacia would be happy if accompanied. That way Rajendra will be by his side until completing at least one chapter. "Thank you for offering up, Rajendra. I can definitely finish it well thanks to you." The two exchanged smiles, infecting each other without wanting to stop staring.

While the couple enjoyed dinner peacefully, there was a four-eyed person who tried to take the best possible photos from a distance. The hidden but perfect place can definitely produce the desired photo. Photographs of portrait and landscape shapes have been successfully obtained. Now he still wants to take another moment.

"Do we have to do this? You can fall if you take a picture here." Farhan kept watch beside Nesya. Luckily the stairs are quiet so they do not disturb anyone. There was a slight delay in his second order, so there was a short time to capture his friend's moment. "Nesya, you've got a lot of photos. We're going down now. The food will be there."

Nesya lowered her camera, looking at the results slowly. Farhan leads his lover down, warning that there are still some stairs below. "Look, the food has come" Farhan said. Sure enough the same food as the other two friends ordered finally arrived. "Can we spend it all?"

"of course. It's a serving for two."

At the table, Farhan was ready to eat the food in front of him. He peeled off a shell to give to Nesya. So that his girlfriend stops looking at the camera while smiling. "Let's eat first, Nesya. After this you can take as many photos as you want." According to Nesya, he kept his camera and wore gloves like Farhan.

On the other side of the first floor, Danita and Bahri were chatting about some people passing by in front of the restaurant. Count how many people wear jackets according to the color of the clothes they wear. The laughter created was used solely by Bahri to distract him from Ignacia and Rajendra on the second floor. Bahri hopes that what he imagined about his friend's relationship did not happen.

"They've been dating for a long time. What Rajendra points out is definitely not boredom. The guy's just busy." Several times Bahri glanced upwards, curious how the conditions on the table of his two friends are now. "Although busy, why did Rajendra have to pass away like that? May Ignacia be okay."
