Abhimanyu did not go straight to the cafe. But he comes to see Gerald in his apartment to pick up something he's prepared for.
Once there, Abhimanyu pressed the bell of his co-worker's apartment, but until five minutes passed the crossbreed man did not open the door.
Abhimanyu called him many times until a hoarse voice at the end of the call was heard.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Ge, you're not dead, are you?"
Silence did not sound at the end there for a few seconds.
"Damn lo, Bi, disturb people to sleep. What's up, anyway?"
"Open door! I've been in front of your house from five hours ago."
"Don't be crazy!"
"Hurry open!"
"Yes, yes."
Not long after the call ended, the door opened from the inside and revealed Gerald's extremely disheveled face as he had just woken up with disheveled hair.
"Lo's crazy, huh, Bi? Lookie? It's not even 7."
"Hey, you forgot today we have an opening?"
"Of course I remember. That's why I stayed up until four in the morning because of the behavior of Mr. Abhimanyu who wants to propose to his wife. Sane-minded. Every day we sleep together. Could've just applied."
Abhimanyu shook his hand, unwilling to respond. He decided to enter his best friend's apartment.
"Gue's here to get the ring. You don't forget, do you, make a grab at the jewelry store?"
"Hah .. if not you who told me. Oh, I'm."
Gerald walked towards his room, followed by Abhimanyu behind him.
Gerald took something from the nightstand and threw it towards Abhimanyu, who was immediately captured by Infiera's husband.
"Gue got to make a fuss first as well, you know, right, why?"
Gerald was still grumbling as he recalled last night's events. He had to take Abhimanyu's order ring, because the man could not leave Infiera alone at night.
In fact, before he was always overtime until he forgot time.
Gerald took the order from one of his acquaintances, as it was late at night, eventually Gerald had to take it in the private house of the owner of his jewelry store.
This made him have to fight with his friend's husband because he felt "disturbed".
"Lo must have forgotten Herder's guard, right?"
Abhimanyu responded with a small laugh, but his eyes still noticed the ring in his hand. Remember once with the husband of one of his friends, who owns a jewelry store.
"Thank you, yeah, Ge."
Gerald clucked, but no doubt he nodded with a thank you from his best friend.
"Lo go to the cafe with me?"
"of course. You think I can still sleep?" Gerald glanced at the clock on the wall of his room. "Gue take a shower first."
Abhimanyu asserted it and he himself walked out of the room after pocketing his ring, then pulled out a cell phone to call his wife.
[Sweetie, you've gone to the boutique.] The message he sent to Infiera, after a while there was no reply from his wife.
Abhimanyu thought his wife might be on her way. So he decided to contact his other employees, to ask about all the preparations and how the invitation they prepared had arrived at the owner.
The two young teachers finally left the apartment. Gerald who only wears casual— clothes black t-shirts and also dark blue jeans.
"Bi, shouldn't you take this car? Why am I driving?"
"Ssttt, why are you so chatty about Ge? Look ahead!" abhimanyu's orders, pointing towards the front.
Gerald could only grumble in annoyance, but still comply.
"Gue doesn't have time anymore. Kasian my wife has to keep ngundurin when she returns to Bandung."
"By the way, how's your wife? You may not be the one to pick it up, right? I can't either."
Abhimanyu who was busy with his phone replied, "Gue has told the office driver to pick him up."
"Thank God."
Abhimanyu was seen smiling because his wife had just replied to her message and said that she was just about to leave for the salon after taking an order of clothes referred by Abhimanyu.
[Be careful in the way. Mr. Umar, the office driver will pick you up at the salon.] reply Abhimanyu.
[Yes, Mom. I also have a surprise for you. Wait, yeah.]
[What is that?]
[The name is also a surprise. Anyway, it will surprise you.]
Abhimanyu's smile grew wider as he read it. He can't wait to wait for tonight.
The driving gerald can only shake his head, see his best friend smile to himself, look at the phone screen in his hand. Who else could make a man known fierce when teaching it could smile if not his own wife.
“Kanya I have to hurry booking karek on Mars.”
“Nikah, Ge, Marry!”
Gerald ignored Abhimanyu's ledge and focused on the steering wheel because the car he was driving was almost there. Not long after, the car slowed down and stopped, but after a while Gerald had not turned off his car engine and was still silent until Abhimanyu realized.
Abhimanyu who has been focusing on his phone has turned his head and asked, “Why do you even shut up.”
Gerald did not answer with words. He just pointed in front of her.
Abhimanyu rotated his head towards the front and looked in the direction his best friend pointed at. The Infiera's husband frowned when he saw Almira standing in front of his cafe along with one of his employees. Not far from them also seen a pick up car containing furniture?
“Lo bill him?” ask Gerald to Abhimanyu. As he remembered, he did not put the name Almira on the invitation list. How did his former best friend get to be in the cafe? Even at this time there has not been a specified invitation time.
“Mana may. Lo, right, who cares about the invitation list.”
Gerald quickly raised both of his hands, a sign that he had not done so at all. What else when looking at Abhimanyu's piercing gaze. “I swear, I don't do that.”
Abhimanyu looked annoyed, but he still came down to the woman to find out the purpose of her arrival.
“Surprise!” almira exclaimed as soon as Abhimanyu approached her. The woman pointed at the parked pick-up car not far from where they were standing.
“What does this mean, Almira?” tanya Abhimanyu, mentioned the full name of his former lover, not as usual who only called him ‘Al’.
Almira of course instantly realized that, but she could still put a sweet smile on her face. “This is a gift from me. Because you don't want me to buy it. So, I sent him right here.”
Abhimanyu looked towards the pick up car. I don't know what the woman who was in front of him brought, because it was still covered in a blue tarp.
“Pak, please put it down, yes?”
“Almira, explain it to me. What does this mean?”
The smile on Almira's face finally faded slightly, upon hearing Abhimanyu's slightly raised tone of voice. “As I said. This is the gift I gave you, because you realized one more dream to build this cafe.” Almira stepped towards the pick up car. “This is a working chair for you in this cafe and also a small-sized coffee machine for in the work room.”
Abhimanyu remained silent hearing that. He did not expect it at all. In fact, the arrival of his former lover was not expected.
“I also came early to help you prepare. No problem, right, Mr Gerald?”
Gerald, who had been silent behind Abhimanyu, was a little confused and clumsy to answer Almira's question, but to appreciate the woman. He kept answering and smiling. “Te-of course, Bu.” Gerald glanced at Abhimanyu whose face already looked sinister and seemed ready to spit out his anger. He can't stay still.
“Then, let's go in,” invite Gerald on Almira. He also could not possibly throw the woman away.
Almira nodded and said something to the driver of the pick up car to bring his goods inside. The woman glanced at Abhimanyu who was just silent and went inside the cafe first.
BIi, what should we do now?”
“Damn it!” as Abhimanyu said, ignoring Gerald's question, the hand beside his body clenched tightly, while staring at the direction where Almira went into the cafe.
Gerald scratched his non-itchy nape. He realized that his best friend was not being able to discuss. Don't know what's going to happen today. Gerald was so sure, things would be a little messed up.
Gerald only hoped that Infiera did not misunderstand.
