Ice Cream Shop
Tantri took a seat at one of the empty tables that had been provided by the shop owner. Not long after that, Anton came to him while carrying 2 cups of chocolate and vanilla flavored ice cream for them to enjoy together.
Anton sat across his best friend's desk whose face looked very disheveled and moody. A whole new life this time Tantri felt heartache because of love.
"Udah, let's eat the ice cream. Don't be so sad" Anton tried to comfort Tantri. Tantri did not answer. He smiled and started to enjoy his ice cream.
"Tri!"
"Hem."
"Are you the same brother Miko really have a relationship, huh?" ask Anton curiously.
"How do you think?" tantri answered back asking while stirring her ice cream.
"Yes, if I think so, yes. You must have a relationship." Tantri just smiled wryly at Anton's reply.
"Ton, it turns out that heartache because love is really not good, well" said Tantri while staring at the ice cream he stirred in his container.
"Yes. You're correct. It feels really painful here," replied Anton while holding his chest.
"I can tell, Ton. Have you ever been?" ask Tantri.
"Yes, it was never. How do I know if I've never done it myself?" answer Anton.
"Oh yeah. Who do you like, Ton? Tell me dong. I'm curious" asked Tantri enthusiastically. Instantly he forgot about the sadness that had just happened.
That girl is you. Inner Anton.
"Consecret. There is a point" replied Anton.
"Haishis. Don't fuck you, Ton." Tantri pursed her lips to hear Anton unwilling to reveal his secret.
"Tri, are you the same as Miko's fiance?" ask Anton curiously.
"not yet. But this ring was given by Mama Melda, Mama's sister Miko," replied Tantri.
"Oh. Since when are you guys dating?"
"I'm the same brother Miko is not dating. We were just fooled by Miko's parents."
"Stupid? Seriously you?"
"He'em."
"Emang is still the age of being fooled like that," said Anton.
"Eitherway. But the truth is, Ton."
"Have you accepted that match? ask Anton. Tantri answered him with a nod.
"Are you .. love Miko's sister?"
"Looks like. Brother Miko is my first love" Tantri replied honestly. "I was hoping that Miko's sister would be my first and last. But I didn't expect, it turns out he's a brengs*k guy." Tantri was upset. Sadness, anger, hate, and disappointment mixed into one. He wanted to throw an ice cream cup in his hand. Fortunately, he was still thinking sanely. Ice cream is not wrong. The wrong thing is Miko. Her thought.
"Believe can't believe it anyway, Ton. But the fear is that I am not strong. Especially if the reality is like that. But I guess, it's all true. The proof is that Miko didn't chase me when I left."
"You can't get me wrong, Tri. The one who told me to chase you was Miko's sister. But, yeah .. Even if not asked, I will also chase you anyway."
"Thank you, Ton. You are a good friend. I'm Sherina's miss with Aldo. When can we meet again?"
Without them knowing, Miko apparently heard their conversation since then. Between happy and sad. Miko doesn't know what to feel. Sad because the girl didn't believe it. Happy that Tantri has returned her love as well.
Miko walked slowly behind Tantri. Staring at the woman with a sad look. Anton, who realizes this, chooses to give in and let the two talk and resolve the misunderstanding.
For Anton, Tantri's happiness is his happiness too. As people say, love doesn't have to be. That's how Anton is. He will try to get Tantri to Miko. As long as Miko can make her beloved friend happy.
"Tri! I'm gonna go find the toilet for a second." Anton leaves Tantri. Tantri bows her head at the table as Anton leaves her. It felt, his tears wanted to be spilled back when he remembered Miko.
Hiks hyks. Tantri sobbed after Anton's departure. Miko felt her chest tight to see her beloved girl cry for it. His hatred for Lyvia increased many times over. But thankfully he had humiliated Lyvia in front of the crowd. In fact, many have bullied Lyvia and spread her photos on social media with the hashtags #BuayaBetina, #Pelakor, and #PHO (Destroyer of People Relations).
Miko walked over to Tantri, she was already standing right next to the girl.
"It has. Do not waste your tears just because of a misunderstanding that you do not know the truth," said Miko while holding Tantri's shoulder. Tantri surprised. He immediately raised his head looking towards Miko. His eyes were red and wet. And so is his cheek. He looked at the man he loved while crying. His tongue felt weak and could not say anything.
Miko held onto both of Tantri's shoulders and made the girl stand before her. Tantri just lowered her head while continuously sobbing. While Miko looked at her face fixedly.
"Don't cry! You just misunderstood. I can explain everything later. If necessary I will ask papa and mama to come explain everything to you later," explained Miko then hugged her favorite girl. He tried to calm Tantri in his arms.
"Already, already. Don't cry anymore. You know, I also feel sad because you don't trust me and prefer to trust the words of the girl g*la earlier." Tantri looked up at Miko. Miko wiped her tears with both of her thumbs.
"Here you go, baby already, yeah." persuaded Miko.
Cup. A gentle kiss landed on Tantri's forehead.
"Sister Miko Ih. I don't know a very big place. Embarrassed to know about people," said Tantri with a frown.
"More embarrassed where? Crying in a public place or-"
"Or what?"
"No. Not so," Miko replied with a smile. He was happy because it seemed like Tantri was no longer angry with him. He then sat Tantri in a chair while he also sat down.
"Sir Miko didn't lie, did she?" ask Tantri while pointing the finger at Miko.
"For God's sake, baby. I'm not lying. You still don't trust me?" ask Miko. Tantri simply nodded her head in a sign she had not believed.
"Astagfireullah, Tri! So what do I do to make you believe?" ask Miko. He did not understand why the girl did not believe him yet when he had sworn by carrying the name of God.
"Mc ... Brother Miko must be ..."
"Hem," Miko muttered as she waited for Tantri to continue her words.
"Bring me up ..."
"Where?" ask Miko curious.
