"If you want me to pick you up, just call."
"All right, I get it." Ignacia gave the helmet she wore to her father, "Athira came home at what time? Maybe I can just get picked up by him." Athira brought her sister's motorcycle to go to school. There are Scout activities. Therefore Ignacia was escorted by her father to come to his friend's invitation.
"Let's just call him. I'll go home first." His father's black motorcycle drove back into the crowded streets. Disappeared quickly due to obstruction of many vehicles in the back. Ignacia was still on the side of the road, looking at her father to the point of being completely invisible.
Afterwards Ignacia walked towards a cafe that was behind where she was standing. He saw a circular watch on his left hand to make sure he wasn't late. Ten more minutes should be his friends coming.
Before entering, Ignacia was greeted with a typical view of the flower shop at the front of the cafe. There are many fresh flowers and dried flowers that make people want to peek at how the atmosphere is inside.
The bell at the cafe door rang, a sign someone had entered. Even when Ignacia had just set foot inside, greenery and flowers still seemed to fill the corners of the cafe. The home-style theme is decorated by beautiful flowers and charming, rustic-style decorations make people feel at home for a long time.
In addition to extending the sense of vision, other senses such as smell and hearing also feel happy. Neutral floral aroma does not interfere with the aroma of the cuisine served, also the classical type music flows gently accompany all visitors.
The perfect place to hang out with the people nearby and spend time together.
Rananta said the show was on the second floor. Who else could have planned such an activity other than that ageless-looking one? Immediately Ignacia looked for the existence of the stairs. And in the middle of a short search, someone patted his back briefly.
"Ignacia, you came early" he rebuked.
"I don't want to be late to meet you. You also came early, Utari." Ignacia's round-eyed friend smiled faintly, coincidentally she had been around this area since morning. It could come faster. "We go straight up, wait for the others to come," Utari asked later.
Arriving upstairs, the two diligent girls found the entire floor empty with no visitors. Rananta didn't mean to rent the whole floor like his birthday last time, did he? Ignacia turned to Utari, and at the same time her round-eyed friend also turned to look at her as if she had the same thought.
"Our friends never hesitate to make our event very special" Utari said. Beside him Ignacia nodded in agreement. They were a large table that seemed to be where these ten companions would sit and talk. Evidently with the reservation in the middle.
"Dance," call him who is near the glass wall facing the side of the cafe. The long-haired girl gave the code for Utari to look in the direction she pointed. "Outside happened to be cloudy" he continued when Utari was already beside him.
The indoor part of the cafe below looks full but beautifully arranged, there is an outdoor area slightly to the side that is covered with glass on the roof. Even if it's exposed to direct sun, it won't be so hot. Even the room also gets good air circulation.
"But look there," Utari pointed to a side of the indoor place, "where to gather with the crowd is not so much. We might be able to get a table there if we don't come with a group of more than four people."
"Ignacia, Orthia?" Someone called but in a whispering voice. Those who were near the other side of the room turned their heads. His small voice could be heard as there was no one on this floor other than the two of them. "Oh, thank goodness you guys have come. I thought I came first."
Indri smiled widely, walking quickly towards his two friends. She must have been nervous about not seeing anyone when she came in. He immediately held Ignacia's hand so happy, "there was someone who directed me here. I thought the guy was wrong, but it was right on the second floor."
"You didn't see the message Rananta sent last night? He said on the second floor, "Utari said.
"Your message is a lot. I only had time to open the location that Rananta had sent."
One by one Ignacia's friends arrived. Surprisingly Rananta had not come as well after the other friends had come. Already contacted, but there was no reply from the messages. There is only a long waiting tone and a missed tipped call.
The nine friends were already waiting, sitting at the table that was already on the reservation. Look at each other because you don't know what to say. "We're in the wrong place?" Aruna's words made everyone doubtful. Maharani quickly opened his phone, showing the others if they came to the right place.
"Is it possible that Rananta forgot he had an appointment with us?" Widia put her phone on the table, her sentence sounded anxious and uncomfortable. Rananta is not a person who will forget promises easily. In the morning Rananta reminded me of what to bring.
Then the appearance of a person attracts the attention of all who sit facing. "Sorry to keep you waiting. There was something I had to do earlier," the long-awaited ones finally came as well. The owner of the event.
"I almost went home because you weren't around." Utari pretended to take her bag and acted as if she was going to leave. Rananta hurriedly approached her and acted pretended to panic. The drama begins before the show begins.
Nothing special, just a little reunion. Discussing something that each does, confusing activities when just entering university, and how people around the boarding house. Only Ignacia who lives in the dormitory turns out. No one wondered why Ignacia was able to stay in the dormitory. This kid really likes it at home.
In the middle of the conversation, some waiters brought along a sweet snack. Rananta got up to say something to a waitress then let her go. Ignacia unintentionally followed her friend as the other friend noticed how good the snack was.
"You're preparing something again?" Ignacia asked. Rananta nodded, smiled briefly then sat down in his place.
Hanasta finished eating her first bribe then asked her who was at the other end of the table, "why choose this place from so many places? You're good at finding good places and good food."
The reason Rananta is so simple. Because in addition to the place and good food, the servant is friendly, instagramable, in accordance with the personality of these ten companions, the price is worth the taste. And it also happens that Rananta knows the owner of his cafe.
Hearing the last reason, friends turned their heads. Even the one that would eat her Panna cotta as Ignacia did came to a halt. Without warning they cast a seductive look at Rananta. As if one thought they immediately said, "ciee."
"My college friends are the kids of this cafe owner. She's a girl, you don't get me wrong." Rananta's answer made his friends quit frozen activities. Rananta never talks about the opposite sex. Maybe he likes someone now.
"Our friends are still innocent, guys. You can only hope he gets a good man." Widia still floated a deathly gaze teasing her at him sitting next to her. "How's the guy at your college? Did anything catch your attention?"
It's not just Ignacia in the narrow world right now. Rananta and Hanasta also get the same world. They accidentally meet on the same campus despite different majors. Therefore Hanasta knew about the new habits of the owner of the event.
"But not only are you guys with a narrow world," Widia again spoke, "Then apparently also from the same university as her boyfriend accidentally." Again Widia floated her teasing gaze until the one being stared at almost choked on food. Yes how not? Widia's distinctive eyes made people want to laugh seeing this expression.
Kemala gave a warning to his friend, saying if he teased his lover too, Kemala would pretend not to know him. As much as there are secrets, everything will not matter if you have a friend like Widia. Maybe later there is Widia taking a photo of Kemala who is kasmaran and sending it to the group.
Utari and Indri exchanged glances amid the debate Widia and Kemala. They also happen to be going to the same university. The two were also shocked when they saw the list of people they had accepted into the college.
"Dianti, how about you?" Ignacia turned to the one sitting next to her, "where do you work?" Only his friend decided to work.
"In the same city as Rananta is also Hanasta. I work as a hotel receptionist and part-time at a cafe on vacation. I heard Rajendra was also in town, I heard it from Rajendra's mother when I came home yesterday."
The world is getting narrower.
"Friends," Rananta draws his friends' antennas, "do you want to play truth or dare? We'll go on to the next show." Wow calling their activities a 'show' made the others cheer softly.
Truth or dare game.
I don't know where it came from, in Rananta's hands there was already a glass bottle. The bottle will be turned in the middle of the table. Anyone who is appointed will have said honesty or did the challenge that will be done inside the cafe.
The first round begins. A girl with round eyes glances at her friends, because the bottle leads to her. He would just give up and choose to say honesty. "Who was the last person you saw on social media?" Widia excitedly asked.
Utari thought hard, wondering to herself if she should tell her true honesty to her nine friends. Utari wants to only tell Indri, someone who is on campus with him. But because he has to be honest, so he'll just try.
"I accidentally met a man from another major. He's tall, funny, and we accidentally got acquainted for playing the same game." Utari's face flushed slightly, she must be feeling embarrassed. Moreover, Widia kept looking at him with seductive intentions.
The other friends exclaimed, shocked if in the end one of them finally found a man who caught his attention. "Maybe soon Indri will also do the same. Indri also plays games," said Aruna. The rest of you will be waiting for the next news.
In the second round, Ignacia now has to sacrifice. He chose to say honesty like Utari so as not to have to do a strange challenge. Aruna and Hanasta scrambled to ask. Whoever wins, I hope it's not a strange question.
"If you can be invisible, what's the first thing you do?" Sela Maharani's. Ignacia and the one who was arguing turned to the one who had just spoken. Aruna and Hanasta will protest, but not so because other friends are still many who have not.
"Take a book, snack without paying, then take a walk around the world on a boat and plane." Unsurprisingly, the bookworm's answer. Others might do the same if they had superpowers.
"I thought you were going to go see Rajendra all you wanted" Hanasta said, looking disappointed. How can he find Rajendra if he's invisible?
Next the Maharani is affected. Maybe his mistake was to interrupt the intentions of his two friends earlier. He asked Utari if she had ever spoken to herself in a public place. Maharani. Anyone ever speaks for themselves. Utari seemed to have mispronounced because Widia wanted to ask as well.
"If you had the chance to exchange bodies with one of us, who would you choose?" Widia asked Hanasta who got her next turn.
Without hesitation Hanasta pointed at Aruna and Dianti. "I want to see something from the same height as them. Being not high is not always good." Indri who was next to him patted Hanasta's shoulder braced.
Kemala was the first to choose a challenge. "Send your scourge an embarrassing selfie." Rananta's idea got the others excited. They noticed Kemala who unhesitatingly posed an embarrassment and sent it to his girlfriend. After that, Kemala showed the screen of his phone.
"Don't delete it until he replies," Aruna recalled.
Aruna also chose a challenge. "Chat scourge you and say 'I know your secret all along'." Widia again asked. She seems to want to see her friends on a date. Aruna did not have a crush, so she sent it to her brother.
"What is it in your internet search history that makes you ashamed if someone knows you?" Indri Turn. Dianti asked because her friend chose to say honesty. Shrugged his shoulders not knowing. He was just doing a normal search.
"Who are the friends you secretly pay attention to in class?" Widia turned to attack Dianti when it was her turn. He even got up from his chair while pointing at Dianti to be more immersed in the role. The atmosphere was getting broken because of his behavior.
To answer Widia's questions, the other friends agreed to ask Widia to do the challenge. They get together, leaving Widia alone in her place in order to plan something. And the decision reads, Express your feelings to your crush.
Widia has always only been able to like someone in silence because it turns out the person she likes has a boyfriend. This challenge will certainly be opposed for fear of damaging the relationship of others. Being replaced expresses feelings to the ex. It just so happens that Widia has.
When the bottle was turned back after Widia finished her challenge, it turned back towards Widia. But the rule is there is only one chance to do the challenge and answer the question with honesty. In the next round also Widia again until she protests.
"Rananta, your bottle is broken" he chuckled at the end. With other friends.
"Rananta, come down to the first floor and take pictures with the beautiful woman who is with her boyfriend." Break up his friends unilaterally. Makes the owner of the show surprised but looks funny.
