Although it felt strange with the question that Heksa had told him, they are now inside an indoor pet playground that Heksa claims as a stopover every time he and Hala bring Pipang for his sightseeing events. Actually, Lisa had also been taken to the same place by Hala when they stopped for a while after picking Pipang from the vet.
The last time a strange question was asked him was when Hala asked about the Rays where the man disappeared for a few days and went home gloomily until he could finally become his sister as usual in a matter of time stress made him feel. Now then? what else is going on with his best friend, the Alpino he loves so much?
"Uh, Sa" Lisa begins, unsure. "About your previous question, why are you doing that?"
Hexa who was sipping her cold Amerikano, suddenly raised both eyebrows and turned her head.
"Emang there's something, huh, same Alpino?" He's a little worried. I don't want anything to happen to my best friend.
"Al is good, right? well, Sa. don't make me think weird, deh. question you make inner pressure for me, anjir. I knew Al was busy at work, Lo nanya is weird" He snapped, a bit upset by the sudden worry.
"What makes you think he's not okay?" Heksa asked with a bit of curiosity as if he could guess the contents of Lisa's mind and know what the real problem was, but Lisa was not sure what kind of problem Heksa was trying to pin on her.
"The last time, I asked the same question. But about my brother. Then, Brother Sinar suddenly disappeared for a few days and returned home gloomily. Hence, I'm afraid that Al is also nothing and he didn't tell me at all"
Hexa's eyebrows both rose, making Lisa blink nervously.
“Sa, Lo don't scare me, Anjir. Alpino is okay, right?” He asked again, pressing and shaking the man's body somewhat impatiently.
“Okay, don't panic. I'm, right, just nanya. There's nothing, really. Al is fine. Yesterday I just nemenin he modif motor all new camera for personal” Hexa explained, a bit breathless with the brutal pull and push Lisa gave to the man.
“Oath, lo, yes, Sa. I guess there's nothing. I was thinking nothing, Anjir. Where Al is now so difficult I keep. Afraid to disturb him who is again pacing work because ODEZA flooded client” Lisa nagging.
Hexa tickled, but Lisa knew there was something else from whatever signal it was that the man was trying to hide.
“And I told you, Alpino is fine aja” Hexa back sipping the drink, he said, glancing towards Pipang who was jumping here and there chasing a female with three striped color who is the pet of the business owner where they are now. “Lagian, I accidentally saw him ngabarin you through chat, deh. Emang seriously you never contact her again?” further a question from Hexa made Lisa puff her cheeks up.
“Ya contact, but still, not as much as usual. Al never usually broke up with me and this story. But now he's just sometimes confused where and what. Keep me eating and the spirit of work doang. You see he knows I've been serious about the time he's modif motor, Sa? How come Al nobody ever told me that he was with lo?”
Lisa's long question throw spewed out. He could not help but bring out the topic of conversation because it was Hexa who raised these things first. Hexa tried to digest, her face looked a bit strange when Lisa spoke nonstop.
“Try lo slowly by the way and it can be one-on-one?” The man grumbled under her breath, Lisa only replied with a nonchalant smile and just waited for an answer.
“Yes yes, I am bringing him. That's impromptu. After that, he just came home from work and met me at warmindo Ko Akoh. I didn't make a real deal, but he suddenly made me feel that way. Yaudah, rather than me bosen, I join aja” The answer is smooth.
“That's it, anyway, I saw him squirm lo. Not accidentally when I was behind him again ngantri pay for food” he continued quickly, sniffing both shoulders. “And the answer to your second question, yes, why would he know if it was me again? At first, he planned to go alone. Who knows if he'll see me, right?” The silly grin of Hexa suddenly appeared. Lisa glared in reflex movements.
“Expression lo relaxed, dong, Sa. Serem terribly” Lisa sneered, being told looks more relaxed and calm-quiet.
Feeling more relieved than ever, Lisa took a sip of her Red Velvet with a better feeling. Calmer, the woman could even appreciate the coolness and sweetness of her tongue.
“But, yes, too, anyway. Why would Al Ngabarin be with you? It's not important to be told to me, is it? I, mah, just need news Al doang” Lisa mocked, trying to lower the mood that previously felt tense and make him panic.
“Dih, so, lo?” Hexa threw an irritated look, leaving Lisa wide-eyed.
“Yes, who told you to surprise me with a strange question? My relationship with Alpino is good. Nothing wrong but we are temporarily separated by worldly work that irritates”
“Hadah, lo poetic language” Hexa rolled her eyes, mocking in a joke that Lisa noticed with understanding.
“Biarin, hell. sewot terat You” Reply Lisa later.
It feels a little more calm and pleasant. Sitting and joking with one of his tight-knit circle of friends where they are rarely even alone with one of each. Usually, there will be more than two-, three or even four and then just a whole. Suddenly, Lisa misses Alpino and she wants to come back to play for a long time with her best friend. A week without meeting Alpino, it feels like forever. Lisa promised to force Alpino to come out with her in her spare time if she could share it later.
Hexa turned the cup in her hand. Lisa noticed because there was a slight strange reaction that was out of place. It was as if there was something Hexa wanted to say, but the man chose to sort out the best word he could think of inside his head. Lisa was not urgent, she waited quietly. There would be no wrong conversation today, because he knew that today would be fine and their conversation was a casual conversation that would not put much of a mind load on the head.
Long ago, Lisa became more than impatient.
“Okay, you think over, I swear. Cepet tell me what you want to talk about?” Lisa was bluffing, elbowing Hexa's arm made the auction complain with a startle. His gaze was horror, but he became less of an aggression when his other hand rubbed the place where Lisa's elbow was.
“Ya be patient!” Heksa snapped with a ringing like a complaining child.
“Lagian, really long.”
Heksa sighed, the smile he pulled into a thin straight line with eyes that stared straight uninterested.
“My question is still the same, Lis” said in the same normal tone when she behaved as she herself did. No more playing around.
“About your relationship with Alpino. All right, right?” Hexa asked again. This time, Lisa breathed a tired sigh. What does this have to do with Alpino? Does it look okay? He was surprised by the strange question. He should have known that there was no problem between him and Alpino. Why does it feel like he's being cornered here?
“Oath, yes, Sa..” Lisa begins, this time trying to be more assertive and preparing to nag Hexa for weightless questions once she finds out that her Alpino as a whole, is fine.
“What should you worry about between me and Alpino which in fact I have said that we are all right?” Lisa clasped her drink glass tightly, trying to pronounce it in more decent sentences than she was just indecisive angry. Remember, he should be calm and this is just a casual conversation that doesn't require a lot of neck veins to debate.
“Emang, I'm the same Al has rarely played now in a long period of time together doang. He rarely takes me to the office. Even make a call, too, we have to make a deal first. If for example it has been agreed and not the incident, it means that I or Alpino have fallen asleep and we each understand the situation. Al also often chats me though not as often as I used to. Just the news here and there, my omelette must be this and that, pay attention to me even though in a short text solid and clear, still we each understand each other and understand each other. Pay attention to each other”
“And it's not all immediately without reason. There is, really, a strong reason. I told you from earlier that Alpino is busy god level with ODEZA, let alone the same new studio that he again decorates in such a way. Also, me? My job feels good starting last week. This busy, busy it, it feels until my head wants to break and if you go home must immediately rest, if not, ya nenangin myself while eating”
“But still, I'm the same Alpino not really break contact or even avoid each other. Anyway, what's it doing, anyway? we had no problems, never fought at all. We are fine and my friendship and Alpino will not break up just because life needs money and how to make money is by working”
“Sial, I somehow feel like a partnership with my work and Alpino's work. Why, this month is not like the usual month? Argha! I think I should kidnap Alpino-gue for healing. For a long time if the work continues, types are there!”
Lisa, who had been upset from the beginning and was not happy with the question, suddenly got heated up with the last argument she made. He wanted to burn whatever was frustrating. Even if he returns to his sanity again, today is a day on vacation and not even disturbed by work. Lisa was a bit stupid for a moment. Suddenly, he turned towards Hexa who was looking at him with a strange impressed look.
Lisa's index finger raised firmly, pointing at Hexa who was in her place. Between wanting to laugh, or even more surprised by Lisa's reaction that was like being burned by a giant fire.
“Lo!” frustrating scream, “Lagian what questions make me sebel, anyway? it's definitely my day off and you make me think about work. Instead of chatting casually, you even make me so more stressed thinking of endless work” afterwards, Lisa holds her head with both hands. Sitting down before drowning his warming face on the wooden table after dazzling Hexa within seconds of the scene coming out of the screen.
“Wow..” one response and the sound of Hexa's clapping made Lisa groan. More than annoyed, he was ashamed of what he had just done. And of course, he blamed it all on Hexa.
“I swear, what a clown I made, Sa!” His his hissing as he gave a murderous look at the giggling Hexa.
“Padahal lo himself who ngelakuin, Lis” Throw his face not to laugh more, Heksa snorted withstanding the carelessness that propagated his body because of the reaction. “Crazy, anyway, just because I brought Alpino, you instantly heat up like gini”
“Yes, because your questions are not qualified, Hexa!” Sela Lisa fast.
Hexa nodded small, trying not to stall the conversation too much. He actually wanted to ask a quick question in a curiosity in some time that was saved for so long.
“OK, okay. Sorry” Excites fast. This time, he was silent for a moment before continuing in the sudden seriousness present. “So, I caught from your story if in fact your relationship with Al is fine and there are no problems at all. Only you are rarely together because of Alpino's work and your work again many-nya”
Lisa nodded quickly and firmly in response. Anyway, that's what happened, right?
Lisa gnashing. Ah, so this is the basis of what makes Hexa ask about her relationship with Alpino, and of course Lisa knows who the woman mentioned by Hexa.
“Oh.” Lisa interrupted. He was grieving with a ring that seemed to underestimate the basic curiosity of their friendship circle friends. “Gue knows who this girl is. That's Al's friend at work. Quinine his name if I'm not wrong inget.”
“Lho? Do you know Kina too?” Hexa looked surprised, her eyes trying not to overreact.
“Idih, it turns out you also know his name. Don't tell me this chick, this chick, dong. Instantly call his name” he sneered.
“Ya, right.. lo tau, lah” Heksa reasoned.
“Emang why if Al road equals Kina?” the question is fast without any meaningful bitterness. Heksa seemed to be checking in, but Lisa did not understand why the man should act that way.
“Yes, I mean.. you don't know something like that? Jealousy. or something? You see Al, right, rarely the same lo again and more often the same Kina. Do you have any problems?”
Lisa turned around, looking at Hexa in full as if the man was growing more eyeballs in his head. Of course, it felt strange that Heksa asked such absurd things.
“Why should I be jealous?” He asked, curious. “Gue seneng, kali. Al is not alone at work. He has other friends who can help him in everything he needs. I don't have to worry and worry about how Al is there. I wasn't always there for Al. So, even though I initially felt replaced by Kina, I am now more grateful that Kina is there for Alpino. I even feel like thanking him”
A smile was on Lisa's face. True, he used to, when Alpino first said that he found the man's dream studio candidate with Kina, he felt replaced as someone closer to the man. But the more you come here, the more you think about it, the better Lisa feels. Alpino deserves to be looked after and accompanied at his sometimes harsh workplace and the many grievances that his best friend tells him. At least now, besides Alpino, there are other people who are friends for the man, where Alpino must also feel very guarded by others and do not feel alone. That was the best Lisa expected.
“Lo..serious?” Heksa asked, this time calmer than before. Although Lisa was convinced that it was a little forced.
“Padahal lo sama Al deket terribly, Lis. It was a long time ago, though. Why don't you guys just date, anyway?” Hexa jerked abruptly, making Lisa almost lose her grip on the precious glass. The flutter was a bit panicked.
“Dih, your mouth can not speak the real?” This time, with eyes bulging with a whiff and the punch he had lain unstoppably on Hexa's back, was what the man deserved.
“Udah really, this. Though if dating, surely I support one hundred percent, deh. Dare to swear this, I” Hexa raised her palm, parallel to the ear. Posing as if she was ready for the oath.
“Yaudah, then why not go with Hala who is dating? I also support one hundred percent and I swear also, nih” Lisa defiantly. He was not afraid to return the ridiculous word that Hexa had put out earlier.
“Lah, even stray everywhere, nih anak” Hexa grumbled, staring dislike at Lisa in a lazy grin that was obvious.
“But seriously, you have no more taste what is the same Al?”
Seriously, why did Hexa bring this weird thing to the surface?
“Alpino it temen me, Sa. My little friend. I am even my own brother. Yes, it's not possible I'm dating Al. your question is strange, I swear”
Grumbling, Lisa sipped her Red Velvet who stayed half to the end. After all, he didn't even think of anything that could make Hexa see that she and Alpino could be something in a romantic relationship.
“After.” Heksa sighed, as if losing at something as he shook his head.
“Okay, if so, I'll return the question to lo, deh. Why don't you go out with Hala? Even though it's been very tight, sleep hugging again. No excess time, anyway?” Raising a defiant eyebrow, Lisa watched how the bait she threw had been caught.
“Dog, your question is not very useful” Misuh, Hexa looks more upset than before. “Gue equals Hala nothing. Friend doang. Anyway, I could have been slashed with Abang lo, tuh, if I was dating the candidate”
Lisa blinked, surprised by the thumping grunts of Hexa.
“Hah? Do you know that Kak Sinar likes Hala?”
“Setan also know that Abang lo bucin the same Hala of me. I guess anyway, yes, I've been the number one enemy lo brother if you do tau”
“Dih, Hala his me but talk other people bucin same ownership lo. Weird”
“Lo too, yes. Say Alpinonya-lo but still loud snobs say only the legit department of doang”
“Ya is a friend?!”
Lisa, did not even know why Hexa sounded to corner her further as if she was trying to scratch something that was approaching her heart.
“Haduh...” Heksa sighed as she took the Pipang lying on one of the fur pillows before putting a rope to take the cat back for a walk.
“Gue ingetin, don't let lo nyesel, yes, Lisa”
Frowning with something of a feeling of not wanting to lose, Lisa retorted;
“Gue also ingetin, do not let lo nyesel, yes, Hexa”
“Dih? Behind?”
“Yes Yes. Anyway, look out for you until the Niesel Hala is not the same lo. I laughed the loudest”
“Yaudah if that is so, beware, yes, if you also get nyeselepasin Alpino that way. I will also make a party on the day of his broken heart lo”
Lisa gnashing. Hexa threw her annoying silly face. Lisa felt like she wanted to shake that shitty face. But he tried to calm down. He will not go crazy here just because of the behavior and idle talk of Hexa.
“Gue will definitely not money!”
“Then I also”
Is it true like that?
