Falling Into Your Trap
Feels Like Dejavu But Not At The Same Time
“Fajri with Jihan already in the dalem, most just waiting for Hala and Hexa again on the road. Maybe it was chasing the red light behind us”
Alpino's voice greeted his teing when he got down from the back seat of the motor he had been on how soft the foam that always greeted the back of how often Alpino drove him from so much time using a motorbike same. The man is now parking his motorbike in a large cafe parking area full of two-wheelers and other four-wheelers who are stopping at the site. The place is a bit full, but Fajri, as the creator of the gathering tonight managed to reserve a place for the event they will hold.
Usually they will indeed hold meetings like this in some empty time that they deliberately spend to strengthen their friendship. However, this day also seems to be a suitable day to appreciate and boast a Fajri who has successfully educated one of the children he trained in sports successfully won a national volleyball tournament. As a good friend in a close friendship, Lisa really feels so happy and proud of the achievements that Fajri has achieved at this time so she is looking forward to Fajri's story telling skill on how she will boast of this one achievement like this beforehand.
It was a good thing, Lisa even felt her own satisfaction present when she saw her best friend back scoring excellent success .And again, to see Jihan staring at Fajri with the eyes of the heart that she always had for Fajri is what Lisa doesn't want to miss tonight. Seeing the two people who had clearly fallen for each other but were still in the stage of hard denial, made Lisa anxious not a bitch. She always wondered why all her friends had such adorable love stories in the sense that Lisa wanted them all to quickly come to their senses and come together so that a real relationship would form perfectly?
They are hard on themselves. His mind says it out loud.
“Oh yes” Lisa who is aware that Alpino is talking to her starts to answer quickly. He had a bit of trouble keeping his appearance because of the rather strong night wind tonight not to mention how Alpino carries the bike with a speed that is above average. He felt troubled by his own looks.
“So I didn't see them behind us. Maybe soon too. It's a much better race than usual tonight. Tumben really until it can make a small jam all..” He grumbled as he busily opened his own helmet.
Perhaps instinctively or habitually, Alpino's hands move to help Lisa unlock the helmet she's wearing with a gentle touch. Lisa was still motionless and let the man take good care of her Alpino who had a sweet and somewhat silly smile on her face it was an everyday sight that Lisa always saw when they were together. Lisa knew what Alpino was going to do after the helmet was removed and placed on top of his large motor tank, her hands would then return again deftly tidying up Lisa's strands of hair that were scrambling. Patting gently around the crown of her head before whispering happily that Lisa's look was tidy again.
Lisa offers one big smile and a big grin to her best friend who only raises both eyebrows to understand what Lisa conveys only from gestures.
“Maybe more on want to go out now times, ya” Alpino muttered as he glanced around and then on the highway that is still crowded vehicles that pass. He this time turned around tidying up his own clothes before stretching his somewhat stiff body. “Before more like also up to” Next later.
“Yaudah, let's go inside first. Jihan with Fajri may have been waiting for us a long time. Ten minutes late, though, sih” he murmured when he saw the clock on his phone with a photo wallpaper of himself and Sinar in the beautiful dandelion fields at some time when Lisa first lived with her brother for a long time in the Jjapanese.
When Alpino nodded to say yes, they then walked in hand into a warm cafe with a yellow light bias that does not hurt the eyes. The soft and fresh interior also looks very pampering to the eyes. The music flow that is on the rise from Secret Number that Lisa had heard some time back with the title Love, Maybe greet her ears.
Lisa smiled, happily following the opiate rhythm of the music in her ears. He knew Alpino was paying attention, so he just glanced towards his best friend and gave a knowing grin. Alpino Just squeaked amusedly with a hint of awkwardness before he directed Lisa to immediately climb up to the third floor where his other two friends were already waiting.
It was an open room with transparent umbrellas and fairy lights decorated in such a way as to spoil the eyes of the visitors. Riding just to turn left a little, Lisa and Alpino were able to find Fajri and Jihan who seemed to be chatting fun with jokes that looked like very funny. Lisa refrained from getting too excited by the interaction they presented before her eyes, she chose to wave and call out to the two excitedly.
“Oh, Lisa is here! Come, here, here!” Jihan replied to her wish excitedly. The woman immediately stood up and greeted Lisa with a tight hug before taking her to sit next to her. Alpino greets in the back, meeting his fist with Fajri as the first greeting before greeting Jihan in his typical way, that is to make fun of the woman from her appearance which is arguably very feminine for the evening event today.
“Lo don't make a fuss with me, yeah tonight, Al” That was the first growl Jihan sizzled as Alpino just laughed and took a seat next to Fajri quickly. “Do not think I use gini dress will not be able to duel with lo now also”
“Waduh, terrible, boss. I'm backing off, you can't bother the other bacok” Not Alpino's name if he doesn't find a fuss with Jihan. Women who are easily ignited emotions when it comes to Alpino it began to be provoked.
“Lo want to menggerasain my heels as appetizer, yes, Al?”
“Gue is not wrong, is it? Do you use heels, Ji? Leg lo can cooperate with that?”
“Anj-“
“You guys if you want to fight don't be here, don't make me rise in blood and throw you guys from here now also”
The final sound from Fajri made Jihan pout and undo her intention to just place the heels she was wearing right on Alpino's face and would probably just make her grimace and force the man to swallow her heels the night away these too. But, since Fajri had already raised his voice, he could not and did not want to mess up any further.
“No fun, ah. The staff was quick to ngejinakin. I want to seduce Jihan again, Jri, don't bother me!”
“Diem lo, monkey. Don't spoil my night”
The hard blow on the back of Alpino's head is what greets their ears. The ringisan Alpino then resounded before they began to argue that was not too heavy there. Everything is the same mockery as ever when Fajri will deflect Alpino's madness from just taking a fight with Jihan on himself. Because if it wasn't like that, Jihan would take this matter seriously and it wasn't suitable for the purpose of their meeting tonight.
Jihan's grunts that were a little quieter than her own messiness could be Lisa's feeling from how close the woman was sitting next to her. Lisa offered a small smile as Jihan had already fully turned to her, preparing to question the other things that could evoke the fresh and light atmosphere that matched the event tonight.
“This is on yet to come, huh? Hala where? Aren't you guys with four?” Although Jihan focused all her attention on Lisa, the woman could still deftly give her a glass of cold drink that had been prepared there. From the smell Lisa can guess it is the sweet wine juice favorite of the woman. Lisa accepted it with pleasure.
“Caught jammed like, anyway, Ji. Tonight was pretty jammed. I think on having an event also like us deh people today” He laughed, replied with a little joke.
“Means that they also again success their students won the national tournament dong if the show is like us gini” Jihan, with a sense of humor that is quite unique, reply to him with a silly grin on his face.
“Yes, not that too the concept, Ji”
He snorted laughter. Lifting his drinking glass to Jihan who quickly brought together his own glass to make a special twang between two glass glasses. There was a smooth conversation between the two of them. Many stories that Jihan happily told with passionate enthusiasm. The woman with pretty squinty eyes that Lisa always equates with white dragon eyes in a movie that she watches can always overwhelm Lisa from how many interesting stories she can tell to him.
They began to sink into the conversation when in the middle of the event Hala and Heksa joined in adding an atmosphere to become even more crowded. Hexa, which can always make a noise if mixed with Alpino and Fajri, began to make things even more boisterous. They discussed random things and some punches and swearing started to sound here and there.
“This is seriously our show tonight All You Can Eat, right? I can eat as much as dong here?” Heksa, with a passionate embrace Fajri tightly. The man who was embraced with a frenzy was trying to escape from the grip of death that attacked him. “Everything pure pake money lo, right? Crazy, eat my lot tonight, free again. Thanks sultan's best friend I~”
“Lo dateng dateng swore more crunchy than Alpino, nyet. Take me off, su!”
“Ah, erah, you do not seneng what can be a loving hug from your cool friend gini? It's a shame I'm the same, Jri. How rich are you suddenly? If for example because your students managed to win in national tournaments, often gini, deh. Very cool I” he cried again later.
“This is so wrong I ngundang lo emang. Al, let this go from me! Could-could die out of my breath, anjir!”
“But I also want to stick with you tonight, Jri. My wallet is safe and my stomach is full. Thanks a lot yes my friend who suddenly rich~ Here I add use kiss, here Fajri, here~ Muah~ Muah~”
“SINTING! I AM ANJIR!! GET AWAY YOU ALL”
The typical of her friends who are already crazy about gathering with each other is the scene that makes Lisa feel how simple she feels happiness and warmth in her chest when she sees their interaction together that is too tight. If it could be said how he and the others were currently laughing with scenes that became a delightful spectacle and shuffled the stomach in his eyes, is what makes him always excited and miss their group meetings in their respective times that are often busy with work. Not to mention lately Alpino is also often absent from the activities of dropping off Lisa or even just gathering alone to take a walk in the afternoon after work. Or even just stay at Alpino's boarding house and watch the man edit photos and videos of his work.
Thinking back on the empty times that he lived, it was all filled with one other person and not Noren himself. Lisa was silent for a moment when she came to her senses and recalled how her day had always been accompanied by Noren and not Alpino or his other friends. Even with Hala, it can be counted with fingers because their work which has also lately increased just like that.
Recalling Noren, he suddenly realized that he had just invited Noren into this group meeting. He grimaced, knowing that he had not told this to his friends. And also of course, he should have told Fajri who paid that he brought an extra person in their show. Secretly, he felt uneasy. Is Fajri going to object to this?
Lisa suddenly felt bad about what her impulsive brain was doing. He might have done something stupid by now.
Oh, Nattie. What the hell are you doing? Make it difficult for yourself?
Ah, teserah. Lisa can pay for food for Noren. He's the one who should be responsible about this because he's the one who filed it unilaterally without consent, right? It's okay, he'll tell Fajri later.
Lisa bit her lower lip, a bit nervous and fooled herself. Why would he do such a thing without telling his friends? He must have been cursed. Noren must have cursed him and hypnotized him just like that. That's sure! Right, guys?
He opens his phone to see his last conversation with Noren where he shares a map of where the cafe is located and where they will meet. Lisa was not even aware that she was so relaxed in exchanging messages with the man.
But what else did he think other than the fact that;
“Oh, yes, Lisa. Bang Sinar can come, right? No clash with his work schedule?”
Yep. Sure oes. It was the presence of Sinar that made him impulsively invite Noren to their get-together. That time and even until this afternoon he only thought that it was fine to invite Noren to come because there would be his brother present also at the event. Given that Noren is her brother's thickest friend, she just thought quickly that her brother might be happy with Noren's presence there.
Anyways, anyway, Lisa feels that she and Noren have become closer and their relationship is already in good stages although they have been fighting a lot at times and Noren often makes his head break or embarrasses him by the recognition of love is so excessive that shame is a common thing that he gets in the shock of his life in certain days that hell-like runs.
Noren, in his life it's probably been like, I don't know;
A fella?
Is that a suitable word to describe their closeness from how much time they have spent together lately?
Lisa only hoped her thoughts this time would not drive her crazy and ruin this excellent night. All of a sudden, he felt nervous and irritated.
“Lisa?”
He was sure, he must have been brainwashed by Noren at some point in time between their sometimes rather crazy encounters.
Yeah, that's for sure, right?
But if Lisa put it that way, she did not feel that she was forced to invite Noren on this day to come. He just felt it was natural to invite the man over because he was a friend of Sinar who was also invited to a group meeting. Is the reason for inviting Lisa to accompany her brother not a good reason?
Well, if thinking about how her brother would definitely try to approach and tease Hala on this night was what her brother would do with certainty, Noren's presence must have been very unneeded, she said, don't you?
Life was full of surprises, that was what he had thought before. Being shocked by the actions he took himself was also another strange surprise in his tumbling life. Then, if Lisa felt she had no regrets about inviting Noren into this group meeting, was that another surprise she had to think hard about the sanity she was currently running?
Noren is her brother's friend who was invited to tonight's event. And in his other beliefs, he had slowly begun to regard and place Noren in the same status as a friend.
Other friends and close friends in the group if used as one, will not be a larger circle of friends and may be more pleasant presence?
Lisa just hopes so much that Noren won't be such a bitch tonight. He had full hopes for Noren and if that didn't work out it was only from the hopes and prayers he quickly offered, he swore he would make Noren experience the same hell as anything he felt when Noren started acting out.
Lisa will make sure that happens.
“Uh,” he started with a ringing. His index finger scratched his cheek in a slow motion before giving a somewhat forced and alarming smile.
“Why? Bang Sinar can not come, yes?” Fajri, with his high curiosity and may have somewhat guessed that the invitation he addressed to Sinar will not be able to make the older man come.
But of course it's a big mistake because Sinar will gladly take the time to attend any event made by his small group of friends with the aim of spending time to tease his idol who is also in there. Also, do not rule out the fact that men who do not have many friends are happy to hang out with Alpino, Hexa and Fajri. He would not miss this opportunity at all.
“Dateng, really. I'm sure about Sinar Dateng. He also will not say if there is a kayak ginian event, right?” Lisa closed her anxiety with laughter.
“Oh, good if that's it. I guess Bang SInar's work is a lot to not be able to come. I also want to talk about basketball with him. Abang lo used to be the captain of his school basketball team, right, yeah, before focusing on business?”
Lisa nodded, saying whatever Fajri said excitedly.
Sighing, Lisa felt the adrenaline coming at her gradually subside. Of course he was now, with a cold wind that refreshed his head, he could think more clearly than anything that made him upset.
This time, Lisa is convinced that she is not making the mistake of inviting Noren to come to their show. Counting things up, Lisa also paid whatever Noren spent on her from how much they had met. After all, he also wanted to put his relationship with Noren in a zone that was more suitable for both of them.
“Jri, actually I forgot to say this to lo. Sorry, ya”
Fajri watched in confusion. And so did all the members there.
“Loh, why?”
Raising her hand to get rid of the strands of her hair blocking her eyes, she smiled with a ringing on her face before she gave a grin of apology.
“I actually have one more person to join us. But seriously, I'll pay for his share. Don't worry, huh? Seriously this is me”
“Hah?”
“Lo upsetting others at our group meeting, Lisa?” This time it was Alpino. Lisa could see how a look of shock was present on her best friend's face.
Lisa nodded steadily, but her hands she moved to just pat Alpino's thighs were soothing. He didn't know why, it was just his reflexes and habits from how long he had been with the man.
“Actually no one else, sih” Lisa muttered a little, sigh she took before continuing;
“Gue ngundang-,”
“Gue didn't know that Noren went to the children's show, Dek”
Of course, it was the Rays that came suddenly at a time that was either arguably good or not. But, there he stood, Noren who offered his smile and confident greeting into the currently silent group with their respective shock.
“Loh, Brother Noren?”
“Hai. Thanks, I can join you guys. So, who's the host tonight? I have not been told the same Lisa because.”.
Tonight, it's gonna be a good night.
