Between Love and Love
The affection arises from getting used to it.

When it comes not requested, it feels initially happy but not infrequently mixed with sadness in it. One taste that can change everything. It's love.

"The name honors the mbak. Unless I already know the call mas or even call the name is also nothing. Her name alone I forgot that Tara didn't take it."

"Yes, yeah. You'll be friends tomorrow to be familiar." Tara.

'"InshaAllah mbak." Answer Cloud.

"The rain is gone, let's go home!" Bring Clouds.

Tara immediately got up from her seat. He approached the cloud who was turning on the engine of the motor.

"Wear the jacket! Cold air. Don't get sick." Cloud

"Hem, yes."

The clouds run the motor slowly. Because this clock jams so difficult to drive a motorcycle at high speed. When arriving at the area of Kali Deres Clouds pulled the vehicle. He stopped at a typical food stall Lamongan his subscription.

" Why stop here?" ask Tara. He felt astonished because suddenly the clouds stopped at a food stall.

"We ate here first. I am hungry too. Go, in! Here my subscription, delicious cooking mbak." Answer the Awan and invite Tara to enter the food stall.

The clouds went first and chose a seat. And Tara was right behind following the Clouds.

" What do you want to order?" ask Awan while writing his order menu.

" Duck just like eggplant mas."

"Okay, mbak." The cloud wrote down the menu in Tara's message. Then hand over their order menu to the waiter who is waiting.

"Wait a minute, ma'am." Said the waitress.

"Yes, um." The clouds answered with a smile.

While waiting for the order came Tara busy with her flat objects as well as the Clouds. No one started a conversation between them.

After about ten minutes their order arrived. Two servings of duck and fried eggplant complete with lalapan and tomato sauce. Do not forget their favorite savory rice.

"Mas Awan likes savory rice too? Our taste is the same." Chirpe Tara.

"Yes mbak if you don't like not maybe a subscription to rice uduk Bu Susi mbak. Even almost every day I have breakfast rice with mbak."

"Well tired of eating rice almost every day?" Tara hesitates about Cloud's words.

"Ngga mbak because of me -" Awan did not continue to say because there was a waitress who came to bring their order.

"Excuse me, the order." Said the newly arrived Pramusaji.

"Thank you." Clouds and Tera at the same time.

After washing their hands they both enjoy the typical Lamongan food. Tara also does not look awkward when with the Clouds. Maybe because they have been neighbors for a long time even though they are not familiar. Rarely chatting but in the morning or afternoon they greet each other when the two are passing each other.

"Where is Tara's real sister?" the clouds broke the silence between them.

"Original Surabaya, if you are original where is Jawaanya Mas?" Tara replied and also turned to ask the Clouds.

"Yes mas, I also seem that the Javanese medok because of it. A lot of friends know when they talk to me. Must have asked, which real Tara." Tara smiled remembering when people who had just known her immediately knew that she was Javanese because her typical when talking medok.

***

After a few weeks they were engaged in the same job. Tara and Clouds are getting closer and often they often eat together. Initially only limited to neighbors and coworkers now the two exchanged news through short messages.

At the boarding house Tara was watching the latest movie with Salma. They used to do this on weekends. Coloring each other's nails is also their activity during the holidays. Usually Merry also participated in their activities but because he had to go to Bandung with his parents so could not join.

"Lo now deket same brother nasi uuk huh? Look out for you falling in love. I want you to go to Anton's security," asked Salma who was coloring her nails.

Tara who was focusing on the television screen also turned her gaze towards Salma.

"Yes close because of work. Anton, we're friends." Answer Tara. He was still not aware of his feelings for the Clouds.

Often share stories and go together whether it's work or just eating out together because they happen to be neighbors. Tara always smiles while replying to messages from Cloud but, she is not yet aware of her feelings.

"Including frequent meals together uploading togetherness on social media instagram and tag each other is it worth calling a friend? I think Abang nasi uuk likes you the same. And you're not aware of your own feelings either." Salma.

"Kon know you are." Tara dismisses Salma's conclusion that says about her feelings for the Clouds.

"And I'm pretentious tempe not pretentious. Okay, let's see later. I proved my words right."

Tara shrugged both of her shoulders. He was still convinced that there was no way he would like the clouds. Even Anton alone who was obviously very attentive with his alone was not able to touch Tara's heart. Moreover, the Clouds that are only a few months close it feels really impossible for a Tara.

"That feeling comes at any time and you won't be able to prevent it. So, don't get too deep you drift on that race of yours. Because you're different." Salma warns her best friend not to have more feelings for the Clouds.

Degs...

Suddenly Tara fell silent at Salma's words. Yes, their friends are different. But, why was Tara afraid of what was happening in the future. Doesn't he have feelings? Or is he not aware of his feelings?

"I wouldn't forget that if he and I were different." Tara answered with sadness.

Salma noticed the change in Tara's expression. His guess was right, his best friend already had more feelings than a friend to the Clouds. Because of the attitude and good nature of the Cloud is able to melt Tara's heart.

"See what your heart says. I see Abang nasi uduk also like lo."

"Gue still doesn't believe in Salma's love. Oh yeah, you why call him Abang nasi uuk?" Tara wondered why her best friend called the Clouds like that.

"Because he gave us free rice sitting down." Salma replied with a smile.

"Basic miss nosy, there's no connection to it. That handsome is called the rice brother nasi uduk jaga. Change your call to him don't do that anymore." Tara Protest.

"Wouldn't like me. It's thanksgiving, too, so it's legal to call him that."

"Jeez this has a very gesrek temen gini anyway. Everyone changed their name." Tara hit her forehead slowly.

Tara crushes hugging while tickling Salma. He feels anxious and happy with the behavior of friends. The old Salma is back. The cheerful nosy miss is back and Tara is happy about it. As their laughter echoes in every corner of Tara's room suddenly a knock from the outside stops their laughter.

Tok.dok...

"Eh, it's amused me. Who knocked on the door? Open it up there!" Salma's Order.
