Lisa realized that she was in the middle of two people who were trying to get her attention that was done very subtly. In other words, Lisa could see it as clear as the morning sun or even as clear as the red face of her sister who was dealing with the grill and the attention she got from her heart with a big smile on her face.
Of course, Lisa did not think of the strange things that happened in the early days that the stupid rivalry began, he said, which may be only one person from both who really try hard to get all of Lisa's attention to him in full.
It started like this;
“Al, this you eat also meat, do not drink water continuously. Bloating you later tau rasa”
Lisa placed the cooked roast directly onto the small plate that was in front of Alpino. The man's hand was still holding the dewy glass on the outside, his hand was clearly wet, but he did not let go of the item for a moment.
“Sayurnya too, do not snack on mulu mushrooms, lo. Eat the others too. Tumben really save you dinner tonight. You know the concept of All You Can Eat, right? Loss, noh, later Fajri if you do not gercep eatnya”
“Iya, um, bawel. I've been snacking on all the food from earlier until my stomach is bulky. This is again daem bentar for nurunin food as well as rest ngunyah. Lo aja do not see me help the meat fit again roasted from earlier until I was in the same plak bang Sinar”
Hearing Alpino's words, Lisa stopped putting various kinds of food on her best friend's plate. Alpino gave a whimper that seeped towards the strange shamed ringing on his face. It made her look even more ridiculous than the face that turned out to be the result of the satiety she felt.
“Well, it's bad lo, Al. Pantes aja Kak Sinar from earlier misuh not clear because the chicken he did not add. Apparently you're the culprit, huh?”
The laughter given by Alpino made Lisa only shake her head. His intention, which only wanted to feed his best friend who had since sat down in the chair next to him, just remained silent and focused on his drinking glass, was just a pointless empathy. Alpino and everything that sometimes Lisa forgets that her best friend is the same as her other two friends. They will go crazy together if they are united in the same place. That's why they fit in with each other.
“Soalah earlier Hexa who first ngajakin me. Yes I follow, because it is tempting, anyway, just help eat doang and not complicated nge-grill nge”
“It's like Heksa biang kerknya really not? wrong relationship lo, Al. Hazard”
“Dih, temen lo also it, Lis”
Alpino looks to be having fun when Lisa notices him. While chewing, he noticed how his best friend was now back to sip his cold drink and allowed his posture to sit more comfortably for his favorite.
“Oh, yes, by the way how have you been working lately? Sorry, yes, I'm busy mulu can not nemenin lo out the streets even if just briefly”
Lisa who was enjoying the chicken meat that her brother roasted and had been thrust directly for her grimaced to hear the narration given by Alpino. Well, true. It was the friend's busyness that made Noren increasingly have more time to bother him and Lisa opened the Alpino space she had a little for Noren to take and enter. That's why Lisa wasn't so wrathful when Noren committed an insane and outrageous madness to her.
“Nothing, Al. Your job is more important than being my own private ojek and babysitter. My work is fine too, anyway. But, you should know, as long as there is no lo, my life is like hell, I swear!”
“Hah? How?”
Alpino's inquiring face looked very serious. If it wasn't for Lisa feeling like she wanted to spit out all her grievances tonight as seriously as possible, she would have put her index finger down quickly to remove the crease between her eyebrows and Alpino's frowning forehead, cause some leaping in there.
“Yes, you know not, sih-,”
“Nalisa, you can help me for a moment, can't you?”
It was a time when Noren finally came in and interrupted the conversation that was just about to start with all the feelings and whimpering of the load release that could help him relax a little for some time to come. Not to mention, she hasn't really been able to talk much with her little best friend whom she misses very much in her presence lately due to her schedule that doesn't match Lisa's own.
“Gue is busy, you ask to help others just there who are free”
It was a nice reflex that he built for Noren, a ketus who would always swim in the tone that he spouted. After all, who told him to bother him to do a free and comfortable venting session with his best friend?
“Can't do this, please, dong. My eyes put on smoke, it hurt so bad. You have the same brother, Dek?”
Lisa glared at the man, who now blinked his eyes repeatedly, trying to show that he was not okay and needed someone who could help him to release the stabbing pain. Lisa clucked, she did not want to be bothered by the man at all. But when she sees the sekekeliilng, either her friends try to let only Lisa help the commotion that Noren caused because now they are busy with their partner talking to each other -, or even just pretend to let Lisa take care of her own guests - they ignore the incident.
So, inevitably Lisa stood up to help Noren. He wanted to mess with the red face of Noren who was exposed to the smoke of the grill from some time he spent, he said, ended up kindly in the vexation she had endured to blow air around the man's watery eyes. He took a clean tissue to wipe the area around the eyes so as not to cause excessive irritation. It felt like he was taking care of a spoiled bad baby.
“Udah better yet his eyes? Still sore?” Fortunately Lisa is a human who still has a human sense of compassion. So, he was trying to make sure Noren's whereabouts were fine.
“Udah” Cengir Noren then before proceeding, “Still, yes, unfortunately I. It's better, because you helped”
The crazy Noren, and the self-informed Noren. Lisa flicked her hand to pinch Noren's arm with the skin plastered because of the sleeves she had folded far up to the elbow. His eyes still gave a sharp plot as a stern warning not to cause the most insignificant insanity of the night.
“Diem or I jorokin your face to the grill, Kak” His vision was full of threats before returning to the place where Alpino noticed them from the beginning.
“Serem really lo, Lis. Don't be like that, ah, same bang Noren”
“Al!! You should know that Brother Noren is crazy. Emang pantes she digituin, ih!”
Despite that, amidst her whining for Alpino, she can see her best friend grinning to enjoy how Lisa poses a sadistic threat to Noren. He seems to be pleased with the interaction that brought up the view to destroy the older man that the person now chooses to be busy focusing on what he is doing.
“What's first? What's the story, as long as I'm not around?”
Lisa, who heard how interested Alpino was in listening to the story that Noren had interrupted, was unilaterally excited again this time. He withdrew his seat to get closer to Alpino in the form of preparation for a serious story with some exaggerated drama here and there.
“Don't tell an exclamation story, it's a story about me living in hell. So-,”
“Lisa, can you help me again? Here's my sleeve down, afraid it's dirty. My apron is also not tied. Can you help, right? My hands are full again.”
There was a wail and a face that Noren was trying to make up. Lisa almost manages to lose her cool when she doesn't think Noren can show her side like that in front of her other friends, especially in front of Alpino where his best friend now looks not to believe what Noren showed them.
“Lo why bother so much, anyway? really himself! I'm not a maid, lo, Brother Noren” He snorted, this time really just wanted to push Noren's head up on the grill and splash it with spices strewn around.
“If I could, anyway, I've done it myself from earlier. Please, darling?”
“Astaghfirullah, O Allah. Say me, Brother. The vow. This is if I claw your face can not, anyway?!”
“Do not claw, dong. Wants dearest”
He realized that his jaw had arguably fallen to the floor next to the heels he was wearing today because he heard clearly the crazy statement from Noren. His head ached, felt throbbing with shock that just wanted to make him yell just like that.
Lisa did say that she was arguably used to when Noren called her affectionately when they were together. However, if she did this many times and spewed out the phrase full of disgusting cheese in front of her friends, Lisa felt like burying herself deep underground, far from the presence of a person who is not sane.
“Bang, here. I helped you, huh? Sorry if you are so busy alone. I should have helped, too, right?”
Alpino suddenly stood up, offering. Lisa with her sparkling eyes and with haru suddenly possessing her soul, felt very saved with the kindness of her best friend who could be said to be protecting her at this time.
Lisa could see Noren's displeased face. Falling down in a funny and inversely proportional way from what he gave Lisa before.
“Lo eat only, Al. I asked Nalisa for help, you know. You haven't tried my cooking, have you?”
The first reason Noren put forward was extra quickly without thinking twice as much.
“Eh? It's okay, Bang. Later, right, after I help you lo, I can also eat”
“Ngak. I asked for help from Lisa, Al. Not , lo”
Lisa massaged her forehead with excess energy before pulling Alpino to sit back in her chair. He walked with heavy strides then to the place where Noren was with scolding and grunts that he spoke like a spell under his own breath.
“Lo, well, yes, if you don't grumble for a moment just like not calm really alive, lo kak. Here, which is loose let me fast as tight as possible so you can not breathe and scram all”
“Hehe, I like it when you've been nagging, gini. Attention to me, dong, deck. Don't share, huh?”
If the law of killing was not something sinful, perhaps Lisa had done it long before the man took all his sanity to nothing.
“Lo-,”
“Lisa, this is the meat if eaten using celery to dip into blackpapper or barbeque seasoning? If I add delicious mayo, yes?”
One voice from Alpino at the time, was what made this frenzy even more so.
If that is the beginning, then things that happen are like this;
“Dek, this try the meat tasted first, just really mature. I added black pepper earlier, it looks good. Come, here cobain”
“Lisa, if for example I want to dip the meat into the broth, sip spicy or savory? Want to try again, I”
“Dek, can you help me take his Bombay onions? Try me roasting all this. You come here, let us all cook together. Want?”
“Lo thirsty, Lis? Will I bring another milo plain or ice water? Let's be a little relieved it's throat drink water”
“You want to drink warm water, deck? Let more relief throat after eating heavy foods”
“Cold, Lisa? I wear my jacket. I know you can't stand the cold. Here, let her warm a little bit body”
“Sayang-,”
“STOPPP!!!!”
Lisa's face flushed. He was not out of thought with the things that overwhelmed him. His eyes stared giddily at Alpino and Noren back and forth. Can't believe that Alpino will also make his head break. But of course, he wouldn't blame that on his dearest friend. The first one to start was Noren. That man deserves to be blamed.
“Lo why follow, anyway, Al! Don't follow crazy like Noren, deh. I swear I'm stressed!”
His teeth chattered before with a lightning move stormed Noren's personal space and gripped the collar of the man's shirt. Noren is surprised, almost reflexes to dismiss Lisa's movements for logging and defense himself that has been trained for a long time. However, when her brain quickly realized that it was Lisa, she simply held back and raised both her hands wearing plastic gloves and gave the woman a stupid grin.
Lisa could see Noren glancing towards the back of her body where Sinar must have been there from how the strange expression Noren gave her as code to her brother.
“So, I know you're crazy, but don't do this either. You really want me to throw it from up here or what, anyway?! Answer me!!”
An imaginary crossroads is present on Lisa's forehead when Noren just smiles and looks to be having fun.
When's?
He wondered with all the debris of sanity that he could still accumulate even a little.
When can Noren learn his lesson not to mess with a Natisa's composure?
Then there's this question again,
When's? Kapa Noren will stop being a madman and just get away from his precious life.
Or does it seem that the man will only disappear if Lisa ends the man with her own two hands?
Oh, Lisa, make sure she devises the best murder plan to get rid of Noren in her life. He has to move fast for this.
“How can you be with me, baby? I don't do anything, loh”
Ah, this Noren should know better how to cover his big mouth if he really still wants to breathe fresh air and go home without a scratch.
Unfortunately, he preferred death in plain sight.
The reason is, she likes the reaction of Lisa when she teases the woman.
Adorable-, said.
“Sinting!”
...…. ...
Things just happen. It felt like an endless commotion if Lisa and Noren were not separated by her Brother and also their other friends. Alpino watches within enough distance so that he is not exposed to any infighting caused by Lisa and Noren. The two men were crazes of what Alpino could describe. He was really amazed by the show that just happened without bsia prevented.
It was Lisa with murderous intent who was trying to shake Noren's life out of his body. Noren, self-consciously trying to block whatever attack Lisa gave him. Protecting her hair from the woman's fingers that even feel like they are natural and experienced. When Alpino noticed, it was even like only Noren was already memorized and used to the circumstances and the attacks that Lisa gave him.
But, for the little pinch he received on his chest and nudged his feelings, Noren looked very happy from how he just laughed out loud and blurted out anything that could make Lisa even more raging.
Supposedly, Alpino felt the pull again, It should be Noren's position. But she was sure that she would only tease Lisa with compliments that made her blush and happy, not anger and crazy emotions like that.
Well, Alpino does, however, contribute to making things like this happen. She is only intrigued by the annoyance that Noren is trying to grab Lisa's attention from her. He who felt very competitive and upset with jealousy, started acting like a child to compensate for what Noren was doing. Not to mention with the blatant affectionate call Noren called for Lisa. That made him somewhat craze from his clear mindset.
Alpino, scolding himself in silence.
“already, ah, this is not in this storm. After the food, the time is up. Just a little more”
Hala's voice interrupts. The woman who has managed to bring Lisa to sit in her chair and justify the appearance of Lisa who has been messed up takes the middle ground for the calm they must get and also to be able to make Lisa more relax from the adrenaline. Lisa pouted as her gaze still fell on Noren who looked completely innocent. Relaxed and still looking at her with a seductive witty look.
“Hala, please tell me to bego dong because it's a crazy person whose name is Noren. I'm so happy, I swear”
Alpino hears how Lisa whines at Hala. The woman had even hugged Hala and hid her face in the other stomach. Hala laughed, as did Jihan who patted Lisa's back dramatically
Alpino understands now.
Lisa was not really upset and angry at Noren's high level of emotion. They are used to things like this. The quarrels they were doing were like everyday food. That is why Noren looks more prepared and memorized from the method of Lisa's attack thrown at him. Everything is like a habit.
How long has Alpino been missing in Lisa's life? Has she been gone so long that she doesn't even realize how Noren and Lisa's relationship has gone through so many strange advances that she can't properly place on her own tongue?
“Suffering lo, anyway, Lis” Laughter Hala is contagious to Noren who giggles in the embrace of Sinar. Alpino felt his chest rumble with pain. He tried to hold himself back well. Close his legs and hold him upright in his chair. Kinda stiff.
“It's like it's better to eat sweet, right, yeah?” Again, Hala tried to melt the atmosphere that had indeed cooled since the passing of the two of them. “Gue ask me to come out with his dessert now how? Let me enjoy dessert while the stories because the focus of the meal is over?”
“By also, tuh, la. Ask now, the food is still a little too. Can this expire doang” Fajri voice up.
“Okay if that's so. Jihan, this is my replacement first. Let this nih son whine first the same, lo, yes. I want to request a dessert under”
Jihan, with her distinctive laugh immediately interfered. Alpino noticed how the woman happily beautified Hala's place. Letting Lisa drown in her stomach and she gently stroked her best friend's head. Lisa was breathing more quietly at this time. Alpino knew what it was, Lisa's habit when she just wanted to calm down. Usually, if she whines at Alpino, then she will just rub Lisa's back and give him a soothing hug and pat as well.
“Gue tagged, La!”
Of course, it was the voice of Sinar who called out and volunteered. But unfortunately, Hala shook her head with a carefree smile that was an order before she told Sinar to stay there and help the others finish the remaining food. And of course, to keep Noren from relapsing again the temptation to do his ridiculous argument with Nalisa.
Alpino bit her lower lip lightly before wordlessly, she walked quickly to follow Hala towards the lower floor. No matter which Rays yelled at her, she only wanted to talk a little about things to the woman. At least, he wanted to confirm something.
...….....
“Why? Lo jealous again because your best friend deket with someone other than you? You feel left again with Lisa because she is close to Sister Noren?”
That was what Hala said when Alpino asked him to step out of the cafe briefly after leaving a request at the cashier to take out their dessert. The cold wind that hit his face suddenly with a fresher and less noisy make Alpino feel his full head can feel the freedom that pervades him quickly. It could at least make itself think more clearly than ever like a while ago.
And of course, as usual where Hala still remembers about how their early relationship was not so good because little Alpino felt that Hala snatched Lisa away from him just like that.
“Neither, jeez” He patted his head, inexhaustible with the circus that is still being leveraged to this day. “Lo why, anyway, still want only part of that time? Come on, it's been a long time too. You still can't forgive me, huh?”
Hala's laughter rang out along with the roar of a huge motor that drove within a few meters in front of them before Alpino held his breath from what was thrown at him returning so quickly. Hala, apparently had a very strong memory in some ways that he should only be able to forget about that.
“Gue is sorry, really. But, yeah, how, yeah. I would like to ask you another question for free. You know, you used to be very fond of saying that you don't like Lisa in a romantic way. So the reason I know you follow me to chat together if not about your jealousy because your friend is captured, yes what else?”
Oh, Hala. If only the woman had asked a second time, Would she still think the same way? After all, his age was now no longer a twelve year old child. She should know that things have changed, including feelings.
Haven't you?
“Enak you make assumptions, yes” his hand raised to push small and light Hala head with his index finger. Hala whimpered a little before giving him a hard blow on the same hand that had touched his head.
“What am I wrong?” the challenge then when his round eyes now did not give a sharp look back. The highlight is already softer and smoother. “Then why did you follow me down and ask me to chat for a while with you? I want to enjoy my ice cream too
“Hooh, really nice, hell, lo, La. Same with Lisa. Eleven twelfth of her bawl” she complained, this nagging shadow of Lisa and it was to her suddenly present in her shadow making the corners of her lips drawn form a warm smile.
“Gue has often said that I am the same Lisa as a package, so bring the same. Cepetan, ah, what do you want to talk about. It's cold, tau!” He complained quickly, though,. Her lips advanced to form a funny cone.
“Yes, that, Lo bener” relented, she held herself back to just kick a pebble around her leg. To keep him calm. “According to you, Lisa's relationship with Bang Noren how? If I see, anyway, it's like they've been pretty tight, yes, both?” his lips he bit, hiding the fact that he was a bit nervous.
Hala muttered such long-goals just wanting to torture her.
“Gue doesn't know for sure, anyway. Because I've also rarely been with Lisa in recent months. Lisa is also busy. Sometimes our work is quite contradictory. Manalagi I also often found field work together help the social media section behind and bring the work home. So, I'm rarely the same Lisa even though one office and room we just split doang” bulkhead
Ah, it looks like when Alpino's not around Lisa, Noren takes his place.
“Gue also felt they were getting closer, anyway. Kak Noren sometimes if the crazy recur, the office splashes a lot of sustenance, as long as you tau” Hala laughs when he adds the word. His eyes seemed to be floating thinking of something. “And there have been several times if there was such an incident, Lisa was like an ordinary one. Even if someone congratulates her on her relationship with Noren, she just nods and says thank you. While smiling again”
Something was ringing in his chest. Cracks that spread trying not to gap become bigger.
Uh. It feels a bit pulsating.
“Oh, so, ya” his murmur was soft as the breath he drew more smoothly.
“ya, that is, the hell setau me. You see Lisa hasn't told me anything Hala's glance towards Alpino who now chooses to stare at the clear night sky without the flickering of stars. Pollution covers their beauty so that they are not left alone.
“Lo is also very busy lately, Al. it, has been delivered?”
Alpino jerks a little. His head quickly turned towards Hala as a timid smile and a faint hint of joy crept out trying to change the sense of mastering it.
He nodded later.
“Thank God, La. The place is suitable for my taste and the location is also not too remote. It's still in town. The price also really fits me, so yesterday I took it. Yeah, although nyicil a little, anyway, La”
There was a small ringing behind his voice, but he still did not close the pride that had infiltrated into his heart to heal the slight crack wound caused a while ago. Hala's face was also seen beaming with statements. Warm pat of Alpino felt on his back.
“I swear, so cool my friend this one! It's nothing, but it's really cool, Al. Salute me equally. I do the best for you. This must also be the first step for you, right?”
“Gue please.ya”
There was a small sigh accompanied by a little hope that he tried to pile up slowly.
“Lo has told Lisa that you already have your own private studio candidate?”
The question Hala should know what the answer is without asking. However, Alpino still shook his head with small movements.
“The plan, anyway, tomorrow, all you want to make sure to play with”
Hala had an understanding on her face with open lips forming a funny letter o.
“Any reaction lo. Why fish kayak? Close!”
His laughter instantly flashed as he raised his hand to push Hala's jaw up. Reuniting the two open lips. Hala gave a small giggle before again patting her shoulder with a friendly light pat.
“No exclamation, lo” He chirped, “But the important thing is not to forget to tell Lisa, yes. He is very excited to support your dreams. Relax, I'll be diem and pretend gor if he later tells me. Fearing that if he knew I knew first about the studio you buy, he would snack on me and of course the same lo too, Al”
“That makes me talk about the studio feeling lo, deh, firstali”
“Diem. I again try not to cause chaos and save your life and my life simultaneously”
They turned around, walking back into a cafe warmer than out there. The Japanese music sound of the much-loved Yoasobi presenter greeted them in the warmth of the room.
“Hala”
“What?”
Alpino offers a smile.
“Lo never heard, anyway, about, feelings changing and developing along the way?”
There was a strange look from Hala. Alpino knows he's feeling a little overdone. But he only wanted to vaporize something just from a gesture that only he had to know. That was of course her voice, as she saw how Noren and Lisa came back in their smaller argument. This time it was simpler and more comfortable about each other's presence. Despite the circus banyal here and there, Alpino could see how Lisa wasn't really bothered by what Noren was calling for in their conversation.
“Mean, lo?”
Alpino did not answer. He only patted Hala's head gently three times before leaving the woman behind with a real slanted grin. Hope Hala can't read what she's saying in the puzzle.
