me and Alfin arrived at the river where Alfin meant, the grass decorated with colorful flowers greeted me and Alfin, my eyes were also spoiled with a magnificent view to amaze me, he said, trees line the streets, clean rivers, gentle breezes and red bridges that connect the city road to the countryside.

" i don't know if there's still a place like this in town "

" there are still many places like this in Bandung, you do not ever nyari "

" hmmmm..my life is too boring it turns out "

alfin and I walked to the riverbank, Alfin released the brown-colored sweater he used and called it for me to sit down.

" you sit here "

I looked at Alfin who looked serious, and took back his selfie.

" i can sit on the grass just as rich as you Fin "

Alfin smiled at me before at the end of his me and Alfin sat down on the grass.

this place is quite crowded, many young women who are also sitting relaxed like me and Alfin, there are also some merchants on the side of the road, this looks like a place to rest people from the tired of the day.

" do you know this place Fin ??? "

" my parents used to take me on vacation here, just to eat together "

" good, so you're "

Alfin looked at me gently and began to embrace me, he rubbed my hair and leaned my head on his shoulders which was not too wide but comfortable enough for me.

" everyone's life is delicious and not yank.kugnya.kug you can judge the lives of others just by hearing the story alone "

" i'm just jealous, I've never even tasted food with my family again, maybe even never again "

" that's because your parents are busy, our parents' work is different "

" it is precisely that difference that makes me envious "

" i want to study more yank, let me get a scholarship and study abroad "

" why ??? "

" let me be rich "

" if it is rich??? "

" i can see you yank "

alfin's face looked solemn, his eyes constantly staring at the river water as if he was asking for a wish.

I was quite flattered by Alfin's wishes, even though it was real with Alfin's simplicity I felt happy.

" then we should be here while studying "

my taunts at Alfin who still remained focused on staring at the water.

alfin and I continued to chat spending time back home from school at that place, just a grass and a glass of sweet iced tea that Alfin bought from a street vendor not far from where I was sitting.

the sun began to change color into an orange, the sky began to dim not as blue as when Alfin and I just arrived at this place. Alfin looked at his watch which had been showing at 5 p.m.

" we go home yu, it's late afternoon "

" i still want to be here Fin "

" hmmmm.you must eat Iaaaaaang "

Alfin began to stand up and pat his pants so that no grass stuck.

" i just need you and the wind not to eat "

" but I need to eat and drink "

alfin casually responded to my slightly silly words, with Alfin's adorable face closing her face to mine, Alfin's warm breath in front of my face giving me a slight creep.

a few seconds like that his taste made all my blood rise to the top of my head and made my face start to feel warm, fortunately Alfin immediately turned his face and turned to look towards the sky, it made my breath that had stopped now blow again.

I quickly stood up and patted my skirt as Alfin had done.

" let me anterin you go home "

Alfin glanced at me who started walking his back towards my motorbike parked by the side of the road, without saying another word Alfin followed me from behind.

" funny yes, should I say rich that's "

" what did he mean ???? " i frowned, not understanding what Alfin said just now.

" i'm a guy, but you said you wanted me to come home "

me and Alfin finally got on the motorbike and started to drive towards Alfin's house, along the way Alfin continued to clasp my hand and occasionally bit my finger slowly, as he continued, I don't know what made her feel anxious about me, but it made me happy and didn't stop smiling behind Alfin's back.

I also never took my hand off Alfin's waist and stuck my cheek over his back.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

the bell attached to the door of the cake shop where the dance works continues to sound, today more crowded buyers than his usual day, the, either because it happens to be a payday moment or indeed more celebrate a special moment.

dance seemed busy with customers who started waiting in line to get the cake they wanted, I went inside the store after delivering Alfin home, I immediately approached the dance and grabbed the same apron that used dance and Dewi, the employee mother who also works with dance.

I put the plastic bag that I brought and immediately helped dance to serve the customers, dance glanced at me and a little smile of relief.

a mother snatches at the queue and instantly nags at the dance that just took her breath away.

bruuu.......

the mother, who is about 45 years old, threw a box of cookies that read d'cake the name of this cake shop owned by the mother.

" you're a workaholic donk, I asked for a chocolate flavor of two tiramisu two, why be tiramisu all "

I reflexively turned to the box of cake that the mother had just thrown in front of the dance, seen a little dance shaking even though she tried to keep smiling in response to the mother's completeness.

" i'm sorry Mom, I told you that the chocolate is over "

" why do you love all tiramisu???? I asked to change "

I lyric cake box that is slightly open and the condition is a little messy, maybe because in the mother throw it or maybe the mother had time to eat it.

" just now I've asked my mother, want to replace the others or tiramisu all, the mother replied her tiramisu ajah Bu "

" no...ngg I didn't say that !!!! "

the mother continued to interrupt the dance and blame her with a high tone, I who saw the dance of fear directly asked Dewi to replace me to serve customers who queue.

I approached the dance and the mother, with a feeling of annoyance that I tried to hold. Immediately I grabbed the box of cake that had been thrown, I opened it to find out the condition of the cake.

" i'm sorry Mom, if you ask to replace it with a cake like this we don't accept it "

" it's good, he was wrong my turn to ask for a change can't, but it's clearly his fault "

" it should be that if the mother asks for a change the mother does not need to throw it like that "

" like my donk "

my annoyance is now at the end of my head, I close the cake box I still hold and reach for the money I keep in my skirt pocket.

I threw the money I took right in front of the mother's face, which was getting a little annoying for me to see.

" take back your money and please go "

" hey what the fuck you are, I report the police just know how you feel, remember yes my money is more than you guys, you like that treating customers can you get kicked out of your workplace "

" thank you ma'am for the advice, but we don't need a customer like mom "

the dance pulled my shoulder gestured for me to budge and remain kind to the mother.

" i'm sorry ma'am, maybe I want to change another variant please ma'am "

with still meek dance offers what the mother wants, but not with me.

" don't do it, I've been offended at being treated like this "

" Dad ma'am we're sorry, maybe I should have asked after I had called instead of when mom called "

I frowned when I heard the dance speech, annoyed I looked at the mother who started to look at my facial expression that might look scary.

" ooooh so mom pesen cake while on the phone and not focus on what my friend said "

the mother was silent with a face that looked very arrogant.

" what's wrong with ordering while calling "

" mom's wrong ears so it does not work well, you know !!!! "

my tone began to rise, I quickly stepped towards the door and opened the door wide.

" please leave from here, and there is no need to buy cakes in this store "

the mother immediately left after collecting a hundred thousand as much as 3 sheets that I had thrown, but I clearly knew the price of the cake that the mother bought was only a hundred thousand rupiah.

the mother walked past me with a face that still looked arrogant.

after the mother left quickly I apologized to the other customers who were sitting and waiting in line for their discomfort because there was a commotion.
