Beautiful Monster
Double Date

Rajendra takes Ignacia to the front of the dormitory. How could Rajendra have the heart to let the girl he was invited to go all day home unaccompanied. Even when getting off the bus, the two did not want to let go of the car. Why is the night coming so fast? Ignacia still wants to be with her favorite man.

"Call me when you get to the hotel" Ignacia said. He refuses to let go of the grasp even though Rajendra is already trying to take over his hand gently. He nodded at Ignacia's remark, still with his attempt to let go of Ignacia's hand.

"Rajendra, after arriving at the hotel, hurry up and get some rest. Tomorrow morning we'll go with my friend and his girlfriend, you remember?"Rajendra nodded again. His efforts would be in vain because Ignacia really did not want to let go. If Rajendra is being rude, Ignacia will probably feel sad and uncomfortable.

"Tomorrow we can meet again. Now come in and clean up." Rajendra was half begging because Ignacia's hand was too strong to hold. "I'll send you a message when I get to the hotel. I promise."

Ignacia releases Rajendra's hand, his head bowed as if giving a code that he does not want to be left behind. Ignacia wants to tease her lover for a moment. And apparently Rajendra just thought that Ignacia didn't like the way she ended the date.

Rajendra walked over, opening both of his hands to give a hug. One hand stroked Ignacia's long hair while the other patted her on the back while whispering something, "Sorry I can't accompany you all night. Tomorrow I'll come see you."

The girl chuckled softly, returning Rajendra's embrace excitedly. Ignacia smiled happily, not forgetting that she briefly dipped her lover's cheeks before running small into the dorm building. He peeked at Rajendra who turned around and called a taxi.

"How can I meet such a patient man? He's not even upset because I'm being childish."

...*****...

Someone was approaching the reception desk. His steps felt light as his heart flowered to meet someone. He asked a woman at the reception desk, mentioned her name and then immediately got the room number on which floor the person was on.

"Room 218, 3rd floor."

After thanking the one at the reception desk, he continued towards the elevator. Because no one will go up, so he immediately pressed the button up to the floor that has been mentioned.

The elevator opened again, showing some people waiting. Automatically he who was inside hurriedly came out so that the waiting could directly enter. Seeing the five people in front of the elevator made him a little nervous. Moreover, these people were staring with hungry gazes.

The one who had just descended began to look around, looking around for where the room that someone was using was looking for. The numbers here are too confusing. So he asked the clerk who happened to finish cleaning the room where room 218 was.

"In the hallway there turn right" said the official.

"Thank you."

It just so happened that someone he was looking for had just returned from the hotel dining on the top floor. Luckily he was able to quickly hide before his existence was realized by the one who had just entered the room. Coming secretly is fun.

The door finally knocked after a while. When the one inside asked who was knocking, he certainly did not answer. The owner of the room can recognize himself even through a voice. Yes, although he's not so sure.

Someone in front of the door knocked again until finally opened the door. And the owner of the room who was initially furious because it was thought to get a prank beat was chuckling. "What are you doing here?" he's not done with Ignacia.

Yes, of course, the one who is busy harassing Rajendra in the morning is of course Ignacia. Who else wants to go all the way to this nice hotel to just knock on the door? Rajendra brought the girl in. He had to take his cell phone as well as his bag before leaving. It is impolite to let guests wait at the door.

"Why did you come? I should've come to see you." Rajendra spoke while doing his activities. Let Ignacia sit on the chair next to the big window.

Ignacia was busy looking through the room until Rajendra asked. "You've come to this town. Now I'm coming for you. I woke up early and didn't know what to do. I came to pick you up. Our promise is still long."

It's still two hours away.

"Have you had breakfast?" Rajendra asked, "do you want to eat cake?" A box of cookies is removed from the cooler. It looks like it just ate a piece and is still plenty. Yesterday Rajendra even had dinner before taking Ignacia to his dorm.

"I still feel full. Is the cake good? Danita recommended that cake shop."

Rajendra put the cake back in, switched to take a cold drink from inside and then taken to the side of Ignacia. "taste good. Thank ye. What if we take a walk before the appointment? Maybe drive around town in a minute."

Wonderful idea. After all, they will meet Danita and her lover in the designated place. The two of them came out, not holding hands as it was likely that the hotel employees would stare at them strangely.

Once away from the hotel, Ignacia immediately took Rajendra's hand without further ado. Forget the shame and everything today. No schoolmate would tempt the two like the past.

...*****...

"Where's your friend?" since then Danita's lover has been looking around, seeing if maybe Danita's friend they will date will appear. "Didn't your friend bring stuff too?" ask again.

"Ignacia's been helping me make food, and then helping us find a car rental. Isn't that more than enough? Lucky you could drive." Danita passes a picnic basket to her lover, "thank you."

"Then he'll show up at the appointment?" The man placed the basket in the trunk, closed it slowly and opened the door for Danita. Danita answered with a small nod. Danita asks why her boyfriend is getting a little nervous. Even the girl noticed the strange look of her lover from earlier.

Her lover did not reply, he switched the conversation by asking if the two could already go to the appointment place. Something is being hidden, but Danita thinks that her lover is just awkward because he will meet his friend's friend and lover.

The car they were driving started to run. Danita glanced at her lover and the streets alternated. "Just calm. Me and Ignacia have it all ready. It might feel a bit awkward because I first met. But I'll make sure this date is perfect" Danita said.

His girlfriend did not respond, she just focused on the streets. He looks very different. Not like the kind-hearted boyfriend Danita remembers. Shortly afterwards the man beside her nodded in understanding.

A couple who were holding hands while chatting excitingly did not know what to do, so Ignacia invited Rajendra to go take photos together. There is a photo studio that can be taken independently. It looks like a photo booth, but it is more like a room.

"Picture to celebrate our fifth anniversary" Ignacia explained when Rajendra asked. Yes, because of the many activities why should I take photos? Rajendra did not refuse after knowing the reason. He'd come along if this could make Ignacia feel happy.

There are several properties such as headbands, hats, and glasses that can be used for taking pictures. Ignacia takes a fox-ear-shaped bando, will put it on Rajendra but this man is too tall. Seeing Ignacia's unsuccessful efforts, Rajendra finally relented and slightly bowed so that Ignacia could pair them.

A smile appeared on Ignacia's face as she was satisfied with what she was doing. Then Rajendra took pineapple-shaped glasses for Ignacia. She originally took it and dressed it in Ignacia because the yellow color matched Sabrina blosuse the mustard color that Ignacia wore.

The girl is about to let go but Rajendra hastily takes her into his photo studio. Both of them take pictures with all kinds of poses. With the seat property in the room, Ignacia asks Rajendra to sit down. If Rajendra stood up, Ignacia would not be able to reach him properly. And the photos are not optimal.

Ignacia grabbed Rajendra by the neck from behind, sticking his head against the head of the fox. The next pose is still in the same position but now the second hand forms a V on the right side.

Rajendra turned to Ignacia just as the third photo was about to be taken. Whether consciously or unconsciously, this man with the fox bando is more interested in seeing his passionate lover than the camera. Realizing this, Ignacia turned her head. Just when the last photo was taken.

...*****...

It's time to meet. Time to start a double date. Ignacia and Rajendra walked towards the appointment after getting off at the stop. Danita said that she and her boyfriend would be waiting in a gray car that stopped near a minimarket.

"That's them" Ignacia immediately brought Rajendra closer to the familiar car. Yes how not? Ignacia chose the car. From a distance, Ignacia and Rajendra saw no one in the car. Is Danita probably going to the minimarket with her boyfriend?

Rajendra suggests calling Danita before getting too close to her car. Maybe Ignacia mistakenly recognized him for not remembering his car number. Ignacia according to him. After all, this is a way to prevent mistakes that will make both of them ashamed.

And sure enough, Danita appeared with a cell phone brought close to her ear when she had just picked up Ignacia's call. As if they could use telepathy, the two of them immediately contacted their eyes. Ignacia is too happy to meet Danita to be unaware of someone's absence. Not to forget also the long-haired girl attracted Rajendra to come along.

"So I bought a cold drink. We almost forgot to bring a drink because we were too focused on the snack" Danita said as she lifted a little plastic bag in one of her hands.

There was an introductory event in front of the minimarket. Ignacia happily introduces Rajendra to Danita.

"Female, this is my lover, Rajendra. And Rajendra, this is my intimate friend, Danita."

"Hello, nice to meet you." This friend of his reached out eagerly with the intention of getting acquainted, but Rajendra was somewhat hesitant to accept this warm-handed position because of Ignacia's existence. She was afraid that the girl would not like it.

"It's okay" whispered Ignacia to Rajendra. And then Rajendra accepted the hand of Ignacia's short-haired friend.

"Where's your lover?" ask Ignacia after the introductions to Rajendra are over. He didn't see anyone who was supposed to be with Danita.

"He's in-" said Danita cut off when looking towards the car. It looks like her lover was there but now she is not there. "I asked him to wait in the car. Just a minute." Danita took her phone from her pocket, walking towards the car followed by Ignacia and Rajendra.

Rajendra took Ignacia by the hand, just in case something happened. Seeing that, Ignacia just followed her lover. Maybe this is a form of self-defense because you just met a friend who has never been known. Danita was being very nice.

Call from Danita not connected. Along with that came someone from behind the car. As after checking the condition of the rear tire of the car that is not visible from where Ignacia and Danita stand.

"So the tire felt weird, so I checked it" the man told Danita. He seemed unaware of the existence of the two friends who his lover brought for double kecam. And when it came to its senses, the atmosphere turned extremely awkward and cold.

Ignacia's eyes were almost perfectly rounded but quickly neutralized. Nervously she glances at Rajendra and catches the facial water indicating that Rajendra clearly knows who the man Danita will introduce as her lover.

It is not only Ignacia and Rajendra who are surprised by Danita's lover. But the dark-skinned man who spoke to Danita was also the same. Even he was timid to look towards Rajendra. Ignacia was sure her lover was giving a deadly look right now.

"Ignacia, this is my girlfriend's introduction, Bahri. And Bahri, this is my friend in the dorm, Ignacia and her boyfriend Rajendra." Ignacia quickly gave the code to keep her lover calm.

Yes, the man Danita introduced was Bahri who was known to Ignacia. For years both neighbors until finally Bahri had to move house for a reason. The two have almost never been in touch again and then reunited in a strange situation.

The world is so narrow.

Bahri extends her hand of intention to get acquainted with Rajendra. Ignacia again had to give the code. By force, Rajendra also returned the hand to pretend in front of Danita. Her lover's friend certainly does not know about Ignacia's past mistakes with Bahri.

"It's nice to meet you" Rajendra smiled at Bahri. His handshake would be removed and he would shake hands with Ignacia but Rajendra would not allow it. Bahri did not understand what the man standing next to his old friend was doing.

"It's good to see you, Bahri," Ignacia later said.

Rajendra finally released Bahri's hand after a few seconds. From the aura already seen if there is discomfort Danita may not realize it because her own aura has spread to almost collide with the aura of Rajendra.

"What if we go on a picnic now?" danita advises, "you can sit in front with Bahri if you want, Rajendra."

"No, I'll be with Ignacia." The tall man immediately took Ignacia's hand to sit in the back. Open the door for her then open another door for her.

Before getting into the car, Bahri had a few seconds of eye-to-eye with Ignacia as if greeting in silence.
