The flashback 2

One month after Erina came to Jakarta, Erina slowly forgot about her family problems, Soraya never saw Erina cry at night, again. Erina has also started working at the cafe owned by Farhan and Soraya since one week ago.

"Raya, Bryan's music vidio release." Erina screamed loudly while approaching Soraya, then Erina smiled at the screen of her phone, Soraya also smiled to see the happiness on the face of her best friend.

"Where can I see ..." Soraya responded to Erina. She smiled seeing Erina happy, Bryan is indeed a very amazing idol. Soraya is grateful to get to know Bryan and his group.

"Excuse me, are you busy? I want to order a meal ..." The voice was heard while interrupting Erina who was about to share a phone screen to watch Bryan's music.

"Oh?" Soraya and Erina looked towards the source of the voice.

"We're not busy." It was not Soraya who spoke, but Erina, the woman looked happier knowing that someone had come to the cafe, especially the person who intended to order food.

"What message do you want?" Tanya Erina looked very enthusiastic.

"I order two servings of food and drink for breakfast ..."

"Keep the menu?" Erina asked stifled, the article of the man who ordered just walked away from her.

The man turned around and threw a smile at Erina.

"The menu's up, it just so happens that my boss doesn't like picky food."

"But ..." Erina clucking.

Soraya looked at Erina's annoyed face, but only briefly because after that Erina again looked excited and smiled at the man in front of her.

"Then wait a minute!"

Soraya just scratched her nape that was not itching to see Erina. He was confused as to where the annoyed face Erina had shown earlier.

During one month stay one house with Erina made Soraya know that the mood of her social media friends was indeed very quickly changed.

"Your coworkers look happy ..."

Soraya tried to smile as she might respond to the comment of the man in front of her, then she saw Farhan entering the cafe with so many groceries.

"Oh, any customers?" Farhan walked towards the kitchen after giving Soraya a code that the man would go to the kitchen to store groceries.

"Ha, until forgot .. Please sit and wait for your order." Soraya said kindly to her customers.

But, before the customer replied, there was a shouting voice coming from the kitchen. "Raya, Erin passed out!"

 ____

"Erin, are you all right?" Soraya asked just as Erina opened her eyes. "Why did you faint?"

"Relax ..." Lirih Erina without answering Soraya's question, then she lowered her head and began to shed her tears.

Soraya guessed that something made Erina suddenly cry. He then looked at the man in front of him.

"Sir, I'm sorry, but can you go?" Soraya asked the man, Erina looked at them alternately.

"Raya, I ..."

"One more time I'm sorry, but can you leave now?" Soraya asked deliberately interrupting Erina's words.

Soraya did not want the man in front of her to watch her best friend's grief, even though Farhan was preparing the person's order.

The man did not answer because someone called him. "Yes, Bhishma? I'll be there soon!"

Without saying anything, the man just walked away from the cafe in a hurry, but Erina who saw that became guilty.

"Raya, why did you upset him?" Erina asked irritatedly, then took a sitting position and stared intently at Soraya.

"Erin, what's going on? why are you crying?" Soraya didn't really care about Erina's question.

The next day, Soraya falls asleep in Erina's room, as last night the woman accidentally accompanies and listens to Erina's outpouring of heart.

Soraya finally finds out why Erina is crying, Erina hears that her mother is sick, and Erina is eager to visit her mother.

It was not that simple, Erina did want to visit her mother, but Erina was hesitant with herself and felt unworthy of meeting her mother.

Soraya woke up when she heard the sound of crying, she opened her eyes and saw Erina sitting in the corner of the room hugging her knees.

"Why?" Ask Soraya gently.

"Bryan ..." Erina answered. Soraya did not understand Erina's intentions.

"Bryan why?" Soraya still asked softly. Inwardly, Soraya wished that nothing bad had happened to their idol.

Erina suddenly made Soraya's embrace come off. "Raya, I think I need some fresh air ..."

Soraya did not understand why Erina could change her mood, Soraya's social media friend smiled and rubbed her tears.

"What a gue baperan? Sorry ..."

Soraya fell silent, she was sure Erina was just trying to hide her sadness. And Soraya doesn't know what happened to Bryan.

After Erina exited the room, Soraya looked at her social media, she was shocked to learn the news of Bryan's date and it seemed like this was the reason Erina was crying. Erina must have seen the news.

As a fellow fan, Soraya can understand Erina, although it seems excessive, but it is painful to know her own idol is dating another woman.

Not that Erina or Soraya hope to date the idol, they just .. actually this is too complicated, only Erina and Soraya know the reasons for each.

"Excuse me!" Erina was sitting alone in the garden when someone suddenly greeted and patted her shoulder.

"Why daydream?" Asked the man, a handsome-looking man. Erina just stared blankly at the man, she was in no mood to talk.

"Just broke up in love?" Ask the guy pretentiously. Erina continued to look at him without any interest to answer.

The man threw a smile and sat down beside Erina.

"I've never dated and don't know what it's like to break up, but maybe it'll be useful for you. You don't deserve to be sad for a man who doesn't appreciate your feelings. Even though it was left behind it was heavy."

Erina grunted softly hearing the words of the man beside her.

"The room!" The voice made Erina and the man beside her turn her head.

"Haish." The turn of the man beside Erina who snorted, then the man looked deeply into Erina's eyes.

"Miss, I have to go or your ears will hurt to hear the man blabbering here" Then the man called Bisma stood up.

"Bye bye!" The man smiled and waved his hand to Erina before finally leaving.

Erina pulled a slight corner of her lips staring at the man's departure.

"Never dated, hhhh?"

"Raya, sit! You don't pity our son's dizzy his mother keeps pacing back and forth?" Farhan could not bear to not comment.

Soraya continued to paddle on the porch of their house without caring about the words of her husband, the woman was seen worrying about Erina who had not come home since this morning.

Erina did not come to the cafe and her phone can not be contacted, Soraya worried because it is now almost nine o'clock at night and there is still no good news.

"Richa!" Tegur Farhan for the umpteenth time, he felt sorry for the child in the womb Soraya, had more than ten minutes his wife was pacing back and forth.

Soraya still did not listen to Farhan, then before long Erina came, Soraya breathed a sigh of relief to see Erina was fine. Even much better, Erina came over with a smile.

"Erin, where are you going?" Soraya asked started to intrograte Erina.

Erina glanced at Farhan, Soraya's husband just shrugged his shoulders.

"Erin, Bryan ..."

"Gue has no right to be sad or angry, Bryan is just my idol and Bryan deserves to be happy ..." Erina threw a smile.

"Oh yeah, Soraya .. I just met a strange man and I forgot his name."
