Falling Into Your Trap
Slowly, Little By Little

Lisa observes how the car got into a familiar area. The first time he went to this area was with his father and brother when he visited the city he is now in. Lisa remembers well that time when she wanted sweet and spicy food all at once, and then it was his father who proposed to consume patbingsu and tteokbokki in one of the small Korean shops named ‘Han Jjang Sweetspicy’ where the store board was right in front of his eyes later.

Lisa gaped, gazing at Noren with a flash and the man just smiled as if knowing that this was all he knew from Rays. Hah, who else would tell this private matter to a stranger except for her brother who had given the man green passage?

The car is then parked in the parking lot next to a small bakery that emits a very clear steam, the smell of freshly baked bread must be as fragrant as if he opened the car glass or stepped out right now. Lisa suppressed her desire to run inside and ordered her favorite super spicy rice cakes and bingsu. Raise his ego so that Noren doesn't look so proud of his achievements today.

Noren turned to her when he still gave a sharp look. There was a small laugh as Noren pulled off his hat and left a soft strand of hair that fell around and formed a mane of unruly mane that immediately returned neatly as the man's fingers flattened it casually and purposefully.

“No need to go down, dek?” Noren speaking. Lisa held her breath for a moment before stomping on the safety belt and violently opening the car door. “This I've been down, kok” He glared before moving out of the car and then slamming the expensive car door a bit hard. Lisa knew herself, so she lowered her power on that vehicle. He could see Noren staring at him amusedly from the glass before preparing to descend. Not wanting to run alongside the older one, Lisa soon might walk briskly into the tavern.

Sure enough, when he walked, the sweet aroma of red bean ice mixed with the spicy tteokbokki and savory tokkebi hot dog.he so eager to taste the tokkebi hot dog, so he wanted to taste the, but bingsu and tteokbokki are the main things that must be consumed first. Lisa did not lie that she was so excited for her tongue to immediately taste the food.

Lisa took a seat at the end of the chair that looked comfortable before finally opening her jacket and pulling her phone out. The room around has been refurbished for a long time and looks so attractive. Lisa wanted to invite her friends to spend time together at the place, but then remembered that maybe they would mess up the atmosphere with how noisy they were all. Given that his friends are a little sane and have no manners to be around at all.

Lisa could see the employees who wanted to approach her with a menu book in hand. The girl looked adorable with two pigtails on her head, looking like she had just graduated from junior high school.

“Good afternoon, kak”

The boy greeted me sweetly. Lisa sat up straight with a big smile on her face. “This is the menu, sister can choose casually” He stretched out the menu that Lisa received with pleasure. “Thanks” Lisa replied, open the menu book and look at what menu is there. Ah, just looking at the picture already made him drool.

“If I may ask, sister is alone or is waiting for a friend?” the boy asked again, still faithful with pen and paper in hand to take notes.

“Oh me-,”

“She was with me”

Noren's voice suddenly interrupted. Lisa pouted as the man took a seat before her casually. She turned to the girl who looked like she was dumbfounded, convinced that she was fascinated by the beauty and good looks of Noren's face before her eyes.

“Wah, sister handsome” The boy giggled in shame. Lisa who heard it felt like she wanted to vomit. Why the hell, it feels if there is a Noren mood so down drastically? Well, even though it was Noren who brought her here, she was still upset.

“Thanks little sister” Noren smiles thin. Lisa could see how the girl blushed with a flushed face. Hiding his face behind the paper he was holding. Snorting, Lisa handed the menu to Noren nonchalantly.

“Gue order super spicy tteokbokki package same medium strawberry Choco bingsu, yes. Oh also, iced lime water” Lisa blurted out the menu. The boy nodded and started taking notes. “Oh yes, the addition of triangle bbap also” Lisa finished her menu before leaning back in her chair, suddenly– felt self-conscious with the gaze of the older man who invited her to this store in the first place, he looked up, Noren was seen looking at him from behind the menu. Caught staring, Noren immediately closed the menu and handed it to the boy.

“My order is equated to her” Her voice is rather soft, Lisa can see how the child nodded enthusiastically “But her small bingsu, without Choco, okay? Thanks” there was a smile after his remark, the boy almost squealed. Think of it twice as fast.

“OK, sis. Please look forward to yes, thanks for ordering!” The boy bowed politely before running small into the kitchen, leaving Lisa and Noren alone. The store was not too quiet, there were only a few people in different booths and could be counted on fingers.

Noren pulled out his phone and put it on the table. The man also leaned back and observed the interior around.

“Gue sure for sure Sinar brother who told you about this place, ‘kan?” Lisa opens her voice. Secretly she was still annoyed by her brother's unsettling behavior. Say anyway, it's up to Lisa, but if her personal information is always leaked like this also Lisa so uncomfortable also ‘kan, the more unwilling she would deal with Noren for sure. But then the man smiled and nodded lightly.

“It is, yes..a long time ago. But Sinar likes to know me, I'm a little hard to believe” he admitted “At first I also doubt bring you here. But Sinar convinced me that you like the same food here, really, so I tried my luck” Jemarinya knocking on the table produced a regular tone. Lisa glanced towards the man's fingers.

“But just look at you so much I'm so relieved. Apparently the Sinar did not lie with me” He grinned. “Seneng look at you grinning, Lis” smile is wide, Lisa grunting, defend herself not to mock.

“No need to so” Lisa replied, restraining herself. “But,” He continued.

“Only do you not anything come to a place like gini? lo ‘kan usually also surely come to a luxurious place, ‘kan? this is just a small shop that is even hard to reach and definitely not your taste. Next time do not exercise yourself, Kak” Lisa shrugged both shoulders lazily.

“See for yourself ‘kan, kak” he started again, pointing himself and around the room. “This is my place.A simple place with simple food. Here there is no luxury at all, sure your tongue can not accept food here deh. Believe me” He waved in front of his face, his way of sitting more relaxed with his confident words.

“While your place must be a luxury, chef's cuisine, five-star restaurant.” Lisa smiled cynically. “We are very different, brother. Are you sure you want to work with me if you want to marry me? ntar who there lives you torment kak” Lisa glared, look earnest in the drama she made.

Noren was silent for a moment, noticing how the emotion of the woman sitting in front of him seemed real that Lisa was enjoying her world. Noren lets Lisa babble first before laughing loosely. He pressed down on his stomach before shaking his head and improving his way of sitting.

“Lo cute, Lis” she started, make the woman choke. “Gini,” he took a deep breath before putting his fingers together to start a conversation. “What do you know about me?”

He shoots.

Lisa stuttered, looking like a fish lying on the beach.

“You can not take stereotypes from your own point of view.we do not know ‘kan? it's good we have to acquaintance first before you judge me like that, loh” He looks not have any burden at all when saying it, while the woman in front of him met with shame.

“I didn't give you everything you said, deck. Let me ask you a question, do you know what I was before we met? do you know what my habits are, how do I look and how am I?” he cornered, “Not yet, ‘kan?”

Lisa held her breath, Noren knew the woman was upset. Lisa's emotions are hard to control when she doesn't like someone or something, but Noren learns to react to them correctly. After all, he had been monitoring this woman for a long time, falling in love and he easily let her accept whatever she was. Although Lisa doesn't even know at all.

Oops, it's too early to discuss his feelings, ‘kan?

Noren sighed funny.His gaze still looked dear to the woman. “What if you try to reduce your ego and acquaintance with me? your future husband? let's make our journey easier. Want right?”

The man tried to negotiate. Lisa frowned, listening dislikefully to the tone worn by Noren.

“Bentar” he refused, “Lo himself how? you also definitely do not know me? why insist on marrying me? why should I?” Lisa tucked her hair back. The atmosphere became rather hot here, but Noren looked very calm as if he was not cornering the others.

“Kak, gini yes, we even just got to know. You suddenly came to my life and told me that you would marry me. Sis, marriage has a process. From start to like, falling in love with each other constantly -,”

“But I love you already, Nalisa”

Lisa blinked. at a loss for words.

“I've loved you, you” Noren assured.

Lisa rolled her eyes lazily.falling back onto the back of the chair.she folded both hands in front of her chest and looked at Noren in annoyance.

“No, no, no, do not say anything unfounded yes, kak” He squealed lazily, then realized that he would lose his patience with Noren if this conversation continued.

“But-,”

“Gue don't want to be horrified anything first, you ruined my dating tteokbsu after years of not seeing him!” Lisa jumped out of her chair, checking the smell of the food she ordered. Sure enough, their order was already heading to their table. Lisa looked with sparkling eyes.

“Gini, before tteokbingsu I came, I want to say, kak” he turned on Noren and sat back down, this time looking calmer. There was a small smile on his face that tried to understand the atmosphere and did not want to argue.

“Kata cinta it dalem kak. The meaning is really serious. Lo or anyone can not understand how much meaning behind the word, so-, do not carelessly say the word. Well, I just tell you this just let you not carelessly talk to people who you meet”

Noren quiet. He observed how the woman explained gracefully. Lisa-, Nalisa Rebulan Cakrawijaya just don't know, yet. The woman did not know how her heart was beating so badly and the feeling of wanting to have the master had been lodged for so long. That expression of love should have been an extraordinary thing that she wanted to convey to Lisa.

Now, his chest was painful and tight, so full. Noren only,…

He clenched his hands tightly.

“Thanks”

Lisa said in a funny voice as the girl had prepared their order on the table. The daughter nodded before leaving to give privacy back to them.

“Nah, because this is really my favorite food and I am tired of wanting to ride the mood, I will be loosening myself in front of lo deh, kak”

Noren. The man looked up quickly as he caught a wide smile from the woman in front of him. Again – again it feels so. full.

Noren was grieving dearly, a grin appeared on his face real.

“lo bener-ener yes..” she is passionate.

“something..”.

...…....

They had just finished eating a mix of foods that did not match at all. Noren can't figure out why Lisa likes it so much with spicy and sweet being one. Super spicy tteokbokki is not at all compatible with bingsu, but the woman eats it like a complementary snack.

Lisa looks so happy at the end of being able to taste the food she likes. He looks so full and satisfied. They are already in the car. The woman hummed comically and Noren could not help but spread his smile. Maybe their points are the same for today.

“Udah full eat it?”

She asked sweetly, moving from her gaze at the shop that was still in front of her eyes towards Lisa who was observing herself from her cellphone camera. The woman nodded with spirit.

“That's so. want to come here again sometime with the kids” he grinned innocently. “So long ago I didn't eat this. Thanks ya”

Lisa turns off her phone before jerking off and her face starts to set itself up. He cleared his throat, “This time I'm sweet in front of you, it does not mean I'm tired and want to be the same lo ya! I'm just glad I could do tteokbingsu again”

Lisa was still Lisa, back nagging and staring with sarcasm at Noren. The older one nodded in understanding and chuckled funnyly.

“Iyaa I understand, but you look like you are good, hopefully soon can collapse the thick wall of you, dek” he said, Lisa clucked and shook her head firmly. “Kan I've said only this time doang. next time I gabakal cepet luluh in front of you. Look at me, yes” Lisa squeaked at him then mocked as if he was a seven-year-old child. A tired and contented Lisa looks to spoil the eyes and ego of a Noren.

“You're funny, deh”

Noren didn't lose. Lisa clucked before turning to him with a bitter delicacy. “Iya I am funny. already ah let me want to go home, already tired, want to take a shower too. Take me home, this is also malem”

Lisa stared out, dark but sparkly. The lights around lit up beautifully, but she felt her body had started to give up and she simply missed her soft mattress and a warm bath for her tired body. Noren nodded but something made him pull back his safetybelt.

“Wait a minute here”

“Ih, what else! I want to sleeprr”

“Udah wait a minute yes. Aj”

Lisa blinked when Noren got out of the car. She complained, wanting to call back the man, and, if necessary he will pull Noren to get in the car and drive home immediately because he really really needs a break.

“Ih, what the hell is that person. know I go home directly. Nyebelin” The woman breathed an annoyed sigh. Picking up her phone she began to open up her dilapidated children's group conversation.

There was always a buzz, Lisa didn't even know what important conversation was there. During this time only Alpino and Hexa who always tear apart the personal romance between Jihan and Fajri who do not get a bright spot alias not official for fear of ruining their friendship relationship, or only Hala advises the duo love the game to stop teasing Jihan and Fajri. Although sometimes the child follows along too. Or even mostly chatting about games, schedules that are not important, hangout plans that are almost partly just a discourse.

But this time it seems like they are talking about him. Alpino announced first that Lisa was with Noren today, and the children began calling out her name and speculating on their own. Hala even said not to bother him by calling or sending spam messages and they ended up making fun of Lisa since then.

It was fortunate that Lisa was very tired, so she kept her curse on her friends until her energy was filled to break down.

The car door opened again, a cold wind swarmed, Lisa turned to find Noren handing over a bag of fish cakes in front of her.

“Fish cake?” he muttered, “Hah what do?”

Noren thrusts out once more and Lisa is forced to retrieve it.

“Try saying thanks is not hard, Lis”

Noren smiled slightly, raising both eyebrows at the woman who frowned. “What thanks do I not ask” Lisa shrugged both her shoulders, but she was quite interested in the smell of a fish cake that was still hot. “Lo gini to me let me fat ,ya?” Lisa stared intently at Noren after speculating for herself. Noren let out a small breath while turning on the car engine.

“Try his mind positive” He murmured. “Just want to buy you a snack, after all eat one doang will not be fat, ‘kan?” the car starts moving, and Lisa starts to get comfortable with the cool car coolers. “This ‘kan much, not just one” he quibbled again.

“Make Light. Say thank you also for bringing you today”

He glanced a little at Lisa and smiled. Lisa sneered, “If not because you who told Sinar to play with Alpino also will not want me to be the same today”

“Iya deh yes. but the important thing is that I am happy today. Look at you smile really makes me calm”

Lisa blinked, staring at the fishcake in her hand before throwing her face out the window. “Not to say anything. I've said I lax today because you take me to my favorite place” The sound is small, Lisa lazy to argue because today she thinks and complains a lot of herself.

“Udah, I'm tired. I'm playing a song, huh?”

Noren muttered, “Nyalain aja” he said and then let the atmosphere fall comfortably around the two of them with a sweet song filling around. Up-and-coming idol songs that tell the story of spring and childhood.

The journey is quite comfortable and does not take much time. Lisa could see the road to her house felt quite familiar. He felt relieved flooding it. Want to get away from Noren as soon as possible who has made his mind mess.

“Omong by the way this morning,”

Noren broke the silence, his face turning towards Lisa. There was a gurat of fatigue but complacency covered it. “How do flowers equal coffee? Hopefully you can make your morning go smoothly, yes” Smile is present, and Lisa as if she can not be separated staring at the man's face that is full of things that are difficult to read.

“Yang this morning.”

He spoke slowly. “Not give me anymore. I almost had a heart attack from you. Very cheesy, not my style”

He spewed sarcasm. Noren sighed, but not in the least he felt annoyed with the woman who had already taken his heart.

“But that's my style to make you”

The car stopped in Lisa's yard. The woman could see Sinar's car in front, which meant her brother was already home. Maybe waiting for the return of his brother. Suddenly Lisa felt her tongue sour, her brother would definitely tease her again all night and not let her sleep well.

“Don't give me any more, don't make any more effort. I will always refuse, Kak” Lisa turned to Noren with a firm smile. “Fear later brother hurt. mending mending nyelah aja, deh” He waved. “After all I am not a suitable girl for sister. I'm afraid my sister is the same. Try to think about it again yes than in vain”

The woman took her things, then went down and felt very free. Noren.

“Oh yes, thanks for the fish cakes. I said thanks, ‘kan? I'll see you next time, brother! goodbye!!”

Lisa waved with excitement before running into her house. Noren watched as the woman looked frantic to disappear from his sight as soon as possible. When Lisa was behind the door, she sighed, dropping down on her car seat, closing her eyes tightly.

“Who said goodbye?” she smiled a little. “No one's gonna be goodbye to you, Lisa. We'll see who will bend the knee. I assure you, it's lo. Just wait for the date of the play.his beloved I”.

Noren grinning. Then there was a funny laugh before he retracted himself and started to lightly suppress the gas.

“Lo will definitely bear the name Giovano someday, as soon as possible.. Pasti”
