...Chapter 57: Like a first date....
... Stunned....
..."How can you be this beautiful?" ask Ved....
..."It's a compliment to me, thank you" Owen said....
..."Not much different is just as beautiful" Ved said....
... Praise for what was from Ved made Owen slightly blushed and then realized quickly back with their next plan they had talked about....
... Looking at the clock in the white wooden clock on the left wrist shows at half-ten in the morning....
..."Where's Jarrel?" ask Owen....
..."He" said Ved....
... Honestly speaking....
..."He's busy even on holidays like this" Ved said....
... A soothing smile on Ved's face....
..."Take it easy, he must have come earlier he ordered this" said Ved....
... At a place to eat at once for a hangout that is available for all ages....
... Nawa ordered food menus such as appetizer and main course and dessert all one portion of each type of menu....
... Not being guessed but seeing it himself became speechless on the first day Nawa wanted to get to know the girl who was at the table with him was mentioning more menu names ordered by him and all of it was classified as a food menu that pretty heavy for a girl his age....
... An expression of accepting reality with a beautiful face that is maintained by Nawa....
..."Already?" ask Nawa....
... Smile without sin....
..."Yes" replied Rumy....
... This girl was noticed by many teenage girls who are the same age as those who are also in restaurants and cafes that have begun to crowded people arriving there especially on holidays such as this makes the restaurant much more busy....
... Rumy heard that they praised Nawa even this time they had not stopped talking about the teenager in front of her....
..."The girl was so lucky to get such a handsome boyfriend" said a girl in a simple white dress with a balloon arm....
... While going to eat Cheese cake on a small red fork....
..."I hope they don't break up" said the other girl dressed in a white tomboy top and long black jeans....
... Nawa was looking at the phone screen....
... Rumy noticed Nawa with a boisterous voice that was comforting to Nawa who looked indifferent and not much to say nor to Rumy who was somewhat astonished by their assessment of her new friend....
... Curious and now much more attentive to Nawa's face to find out what makes Nawa look very special to the girl who had been praising her had not stopped until now....
..."Hey, did you hear all those girls adoring you?" ask Rumy....
... Still touching his own phone screen....
..."Are you jealous?" ask Nawa....
... Surprised by Nawa's question....
..."Jealousy, me?" ask Rumy....
... Conscious of his indifference moved more inclined his face closer to Rumy....
... Kinda riveted....
..."You see me, I'm handsome" said Nawa....
... Rumy's blink of an eye in front of Nawa then touched Rumy's forehead with the index finger of her right hand back away taking some distance from Nawa's gaze....
..."You're not my type" Rumy said. ...
... The index finger of Rumy's right hand stopped touching Nawa's forehead and Nawa returned to her original position....
... Self-confident....
..."I'll be your type" said Nawa....
..."It's impossible" Rumy said....
..."Maybe" said Nawa....
..."It's up to you" said Rumy....
... Be the way to tease Rumy....
..."It's up to me?" ask Nawa....
... The food they ordered came after waiting thirty minutes....
... The pair of teenagers looked familiar with chat chat that sounded not dull and there were many topics that could be used as their chat material was next to exactly one of the wide windows with box boxes wood and every window of incoming sunlight is visible from where they are street views by passing various vehicles with the inside of the window displayed a typical green leafy flower pot for living room cooling....
..."You like all this food?" ask Nawa....
... Nodding....
..."Emm" said Rumy....
..."Your stomach is okay?" ask Nawa....
..."Eat up, you're like my girlfriend" Rumy said....
..."You don't like it when I'm paying attention to you?" ask Nawa....
... Eat one chicken popcorn....
... His cheeks are a little more chubby....
..."Not really, but people will think we're dating" Rumy said....
... Nawa stood up to form her face with a more friendly expression impressed naturally made Rumy become suspicious with this attitude....
... ...
... Nawa took a deep breath and said something in front of the many people inside....
..."Good morning everyone" said Nawa....
... The bustling noise inside the dining hall stopped for a moment to become focused with Nawa....
... He looked even more cheerful than the previous second and Rumy was watching and waiting for the next sentence that his friend would say....
..."I want to announce that" said Nawa....
... All waiting for the word Nawa will say again....
... Nawa pulled Rumy to stand to her left with her left hand grabbing the girl's upper arm from behind....
... Rumy was already standing to the left of Nawa staring at all the eyes that were watching the two of them....
..."The girl I was with was my boyfriend" Nawa said....
... Rumy took Nawa's left hand off her upper arm and forced Nawa back to sit obediently again....
... Whispered....
..."Are you sick?" ask Rumy....
... Doesn't feel like a bitch....
..."No, I'm healthy" Nawa said....
... Rumy continued to eat the spaghetti carbonara he had ordered greedily....
..."I want to disappear from here" Rumy said....
... As if it had been predicted that it would happen Nawa had prepared with a glass filled with cold mineral water to give more precisely help Rumy who choked due to the conditions of the situation made by Nawa....
... Rumy receives a glass filled with his own drinking water and stops Nawa, who will pay more attention to touching the left shoulder....
... Notice what attracted his friend's attention....
..."Ved, what are you looking at?" ask Owen....
..."No, let's sit there" Ved said....
... Ved and Owen went to the table of one of the restaurants, which he had reserved two hours before they came....
... Taking the chair to be used for the seat then Ved invited Owen to sit early....
... Receiving good treatment from Ved....
..."Thanks" said Owen....
... While still continuing to eat together with Nawa arrived Rumy's focus was sidetracked by the actions taken by Ved for Owen....
... Cut a medium steak as the main course that was ordered and then eat the soft beef pieces using a fork....
... No surprise to Rumy....
..."Am I less handsome?" ask Nawa....
..."Again and again" said Rumy....
... Nawa had already seen who had just made the sight of the girl in front of her diverted yet looked back at her again before she stopped....
... Nawa again makes the focus of Rumy just along with him alone and it is his own assumption is not in fact what happens is Rumy can not blink with the man who is with Owen namely Ved....
..."What you're doing, you're gonna be bothering other people's girlfriends" Nawa said....
... Guessing with confidence....
..."He's not her boyfriend" Rumy said....
..."Says who?" ask Nawa....
..."The woman's attitude does not indicate that they are lovers" Rumy said....
... Touching Rumy's left cheek gently keeps her attention only to Nawa....
..."You are mine" said Nawa....
..."I belong to my parents" Rumy said....
... Nawa thinks what Rumy said is true and Rumy returns with Nawa....
... Owen was looking at something while for Ved was busy with his work on the tablet screen....
... The man was making a relaxed joke at a warm time between people who were in the restaurant add to the romance of their relationship. The woman in a graceful cream dress mingled in golden sleeveless with long above the knees covering her face occasionally holding back the laughter of a joke made by a man in a black shirt and his black trousers in a brown leather shoe it can be read by others around them that they are lovers....
... Owen had not stopped paying attention to the two of them....
... Back they hit each other sweetly joking the woman also covered her mouth again after her lover made a joke again the smile of both really makes people judge they are a matching couple even for Owen gave a response that is same is not much different....
... Rumy looked back at Owen....
... Owen saw the two of them give each other a bribe next a piece of soft cake with fruits as a topping receive then the man embraced his girlfriend with a sense of love and a little embarrassed looking at each other and then a little laugh at this happy situation....
... Looking further at the meaning of the visual images of moving objects that felt a little question arose after several times following what was done by Owen....
..."There's no one, what's he looking at?" ask Rumy....
... A table was not occupied by other restaurant visitors who were near the window which was also near Rumy and Nawa rather one table in front of them after passing through the entrance of the restaurant remained this alone made Rumy a little confused....
... Back to the present....
..."Why do I remember it again?" ask Owen....
... Ved with his own busyness actually from the beginning met with Owen not the slightest movement of any kind done by Owen was missed even when it was done by him who arrived to just remember the memories of his love story along with the somebody's....
... To awaken....
..."Why do you remember people like him again" Owen said....
... Forgetting is indeed the best way but not all things can be easily forgotten a fortune that has been expected to be obtained by him after successfully escaping the shadow of Hoshie....
... Ved gave one piece of tissue from his jacket pocket to Owen....
..."You're crying" said Ved....
... Receiving the tissue from Ved's hands and wiping his tears from both his cheeks that were wet with tears....
..."Thank you" said Owen....
... Rumy became more of a daydreamer after some time was given to sympathize with others about others who had just been seen shedding tears....
... Nawa wiped the food slightly on Rumy's right lip and cheek with a tissue with a teddy bear motif from inside her backpack....
... The mood changed more unlike going to invite her to fight looks sweeter with a sweet voice also soft sounding but not tempting....
..."Actually you're not bad either" Rumy said....
... Can't believe....
..."Huh uh?" ask Nawa....
... Not yet aware that this is real....
..."Me?" ask Nawa....
... Then Nawa saw the two people Rumy had seen....
... Pinched his right cheek himself yet to believe....
... Turning asked with the question Rumy had asked him before....
..."Are you sick?" ask Nawa....
... His voice was softly heard by Nawa....
..."No" said Rumy....
... There were no spells and actions done by him to make Rumy become more obedient like this but Nawa thought this was a good thing moreover she did not have to expend a lot of energy to make someone change easier to control....
... Turning back at Owen who was changing quickly from that feeling was a feeling of sorrowful wound that should already be forgotten without needing to turn around again needlessly would only add to the burst of angry outbursts in his heart that had always been he considered it a great loss to have deceived himself with all one's manipulative attitude....
... Someone who made Owen remember the injury again was contacting someone across the street the restaurant is certainly calling Nawa's mobile number....
..."Where's my brother been?" ask Nawa....
... The vehicle passing the road in front of Hoshie passed by and came and went not making himself forget about it....
... Hoshie looked towards the restaurant where they had made an appointment to meet together then saw there was someone who had been hurt it was unlikely that his presence would be accepted even with that new face....
..."Me" said Hoshie....
..."I can't see you now, sorry" Hoshie said....
... Then not long after that face changed not the face of someone he knew named Callie but someone else he also knew, Owen....
... Paying more attention to who the person he just considered as his ex-lover was....
..."It turns out he's not Callie" Hoshie said....
... Hoshie turned around to leave the side of the road and contacted someone else behind the red convertible car facing west and Owen saw it from the back which he considered also familiar if seen more scrupulously....
... Ved then asks Owen to help him give his opinion in the new business plan about the food that is planned to be built in the near future....
... Hoshie with sunglasses that had been worn since the beginning came with his car turned again looking at the restaurant precisely in the direction of Owen then opened the entrance of the car to quickly start the car engine, leaving....
... Hoshie recalls a time when how evil he was hitting a girl who should be loved but instead he gave more wounds that will still be imprinted into memories that can not be forgotten easily not only for Callie if the girl is not Callie still there is no difference in the same way her actions are very evil....
..."Where have you been, why have you just realized now?" ask Hoshie....
... ...
