Food Courts
Tantri ordered only siomay and lychee tea, while Evelyn ordered chicken meatball noodles, and Coca cola appeared to be on top of her tray. Seeing the two girls eating voraciously, without the slightest hesitation over his being in that place, Mister Andriano smiled to himself. The man had been silent since then, stirring hot coffee in front of him,
"Mister didn't have lunch..,.?" feeling uneasy about the man's gaze, Tantri finally asked the young teacher.
"No Tantr. Actually sleepy since morning, but since there was first class, I finally ignored it since then." the man casually replied. Even without asking her permission, Mister Andriano took the old cutlery used by the girl, then took a piece of potato and put it in her mouth.
Seeing that, Evelyn became startled and stunned, and the girl stepped on Tantri's foot with her shoes. If they eat using the same utensils, it means the same as they have kissed lips. But Tantri seemed relaxed, not reacting.
"If Mister wants to, Tantri can order Mister Andriano. If Mister takes my ration, I may starve dong later.." seeing the man in front of him instead took another piece of siomay, Tantri gently reprimanded him, and,
"No need for Tantr. I've only been curious since I saw you two. Eat without being seen by other students, feeling if this foos court is just the two of you.." the man smiled casually.
"Mister Andriano is the only one who doesn't notice. It's not that we're being looked at by other students, but since there's a Mister at this table, we're the center of attention. If you don't believe me, try Mister moving away from this table, surely their gazes will follow where Mister is..." Evelyn came along,
"That's a Velyn..." Tantri brandished her thumb, giving support to the girl's sentence.
"Ha. ha. ha.." instead of being offended by being driven from this place, the man laughed out loud.
It seemed like what happened this time, was entertainment for the man. Especially near the entrance of the food court, Salsa's gaze was like it was going to swallow them both alive.
"Lah kok Mister laughed, who's funny.." Tantri interrupted Andriano's laughter, and the man stopped his laughter, then looked at the two girls in front of him.
"The two of you are funny.., remember that in class, our relationship is teacher and student, but if outside the classroom, we are friends, okay.." the man opens his palm, and the, they asked for the consent of the two girls.
"No. in the school environment, you are the teacher, and I am the student. If we don't agree, we'll force it.." Wanting to maintain a reputation in school, Tantri denies the man's words.
Mister Andriano did not show any reaction, just staring at Tantri's face with focus. Realizing how Mister Andriano's attention was to Tantri, Evelyn felt that there was something in him. But the girl kept quiet, and continued to finish her lunch.,
"Hey Tantr.. Good thing I met Salsa, and the girl said that you were in this place.." Suddenly, Harry's voice spoke to Tantri.
"I just happened to have a little breakfast this morning Harr. Why did you come looking for me.." Continuing to finish the drink, Tantri asked the man.
"Mmmpphh, there's something important, which I want to talk to you about. But there can't be dong, there are two outsiders in this place." As insinuated the existence of Evelyn and Mister Andriano, Harry originally spoke.
"Woyy.. watch your words Harry...! I don't like. The two of them came here with me, and now without any guilt, you say they don't fit in here. You and Antok are the ones who don't fit Harr.., go we want to continue our food.." Not wanting to offend the two people who were with him first, Tantri spoke a little harshly to Harry.
Antok was perceptive to Tantri's words, and the young man pulled Harry's hand to his feet. Harry called Antok's actions a little angry, but seeing Antok nod his head, the man finally relented.
"Second break, let's meet Tantr for a while.. This time, Harry and I remember if there was any other interest.." Antok dragged Harry's hand, and told Tantri.
Tantri does not give an oral response, only raises her hand to answer Antok's speech. Evelyn looked disappointed, seeing Harry leave again, and Mister Andriano stared questioningly at the girl in front of him.
"Who was Tantr... your boy friend..?" Tantri was startled by the young teacher's question, until the girl raised her face and looked at the man.
"Mister... Tantri's still free, but my boy friends are a lot. We were close friends, and we did hang out at Spirit's motor club a lot, and Harry was the one who coordinated it." didn't want the man to be mistaken, Tantri explained.
The man's lips were caught forming a smile line, only to immediately return making it normal. As his food and drink were exhausted, Tantri thought about returning to class..
"By the way. Mister, Evelyn I'm going back to class, what about you guys...?" without hesitation, Tantri finally said goodbye to the two men.
The girl immediately stood up, and held the glass and drank it to the end. Evelyn followed Tantri, standing up.
"Go away, I will also catch up with you. Our goal is different, I go to the teacher's room, and you go to class .." Only Mister Andriano stays there.
"Okay.. bye Mister.." Tantri walked first, and Evelyn said the word parting to the man.
Mister Andriano smiles at his own smile seeing the two girls walking away leaving him. Moments later, the man finally stood up from his seat. Without looking to the left right, where many gazes of admiration looked towards him, the man continued to walk away from the food court. But just now, the man came out of the food court, suddenly there was a hand pulling him without giving a gap for him to endure. The man looked emotional, but seeing who carried him, mister Andriano could only stare intently.
