Nine o'clock at night.
Jovian decides to leave his unit. Intend to visit a coffee place located right on the ground floor of the apartment building. He walked up to the tightly closed iron door, pressed one button and waited.
One sec.
Three seconds.
Five seconds.
The tring!!
Finally the clang of the elevator door marker will be opened heard, Jovian looked straight in that direction and prepared to enter. But Jovian was stunned, when there were other passengers in there who also took the pecking, looking at each other.
Mayden painfully swallowed his saliva. Trying to normalize the debate when looking back at the handsome man he had met a while ago.
Her clothes were not as open as when Mayden saw Jovian at the gym this morning. Tonight the man was wearing a covered dress. Long Jogger pants are black, as well as Hoodie with a head covering that he wears in matching color, but really does not reduce the charm of the man.
The elevator door was almost closed when both of them were silent and kept looking. But immediately Jovian stretched out his hand, holding back and the iron door opened again.
"H-hay?" Mayden looked nervous.
Jovian overcame him by pulling both corners of his lips until he formed a thin smile.
Jovian pressed the bottom number, turning pandan to face the door, with both palms of the man's back hidden in the pocket of his Jogger pants.
Mayden stared at Jovian's face from the glazed iron reflection before him. While Jovian realized that he was trying to be unperturbed, he remained silent listening to the music played inside his earphones.
"Emmm, ..our goal is equally to the lobby. Where are you going?" Mayden could not stand to stay silent for long.
It feels like to continue to look for the attention of a handsome man with a person who is so indifferent, even tends to be cold to ignore everything around him.
Jovian glanced at a glance.
"Cold air. It feels very suitable to drink coffee in the cafe downstairs." Reply Jovian.
Mayden's face immediately sparkled.
"Then the same. I'm going to eat downstairs!"
Jovian.
The situation became quiet again, after Mayden fell silent because he ran out of ideas to extend the conversation.
The tring!!
The elevator reopened shortly after the movement stopped. Without further ado, Jovian walked at a fast pace towards one of the cafes located at the end of the room.
The atmosphere is not so crowded. And that makes it a pleasure for Jovian, because he can calmly enjoy coffee at night.
"Good night please." A female waiter welcomed Jovian's arrival.
Then Mayden walked behind his tall body.
"Sir Jovian. Please order what?" The greeting was kindly to one of the unit owners who always approached their cafe, even almost every time when the man had a lot of free time.
"Americano's? Waffle honey sauce?" The woman asked.
This time, however, Jovian shook his head.
"This time it's a cappuccino and a tuna mayo sandwich." Jovian. "With mineral water, deh. It's cold."
"good. Anything else?"
"Seek an ashtray too! Please take it upstairs." Jovian said while giving a card to pay the total cost of food and drink ordered.
After completing the payment transaction, receive the card back. Jovian immediately rushed up to the stairs, and climbed to the top where a balcony that was used as a place for tongkrongan was located.
Jovian chose the corner seat. Which offers a view of the highway. The atmosphere of the streets is so crowded, because tonight the atmosphere is indeed very bright.
Downstream the wind blew quite hard, sweeping Jovian's face and hair to make him move indeterminate direction.
The man reached into Hoodie's pocket, and as usual took out a pack of cigarettes and a match, and then he put it on the table.
Shortly after that Mayden was again seen, his gaze was fixed towards Jovian, with a sweet smile that did not stop being seen.
Jovian turned his gaze toward the woman who looked a little more mature, or perhaps she was Diana-like.
"I smoke. If you don't mind, .. yes please." Jovian answered.
The smile on Mayden's lips grew even more, he pulled the chair that was right in front of Jovian, then sat on it with a feeling of pleasure and heart that kept pounding.
***
A glass of cappucino was placed right in front of Jovian, as was the tuna mayo sandwich, bottled mineral water, and ashtray that Jovian asked for, and the waiter left.
"Wanna try?" Tawar Mayden who got his order came first.
One bowl of red-fruited ramen is slightly concentrated, with a wide variety of toppings on it.
But Jovian immediately shook his head.
"I don't eat spicy." Jovian.
"It's not spicy. Ordinary ramen!"
"No thanks." Jovian refuses again, then drinks his milky hot coffee.
"Good meal." Jovian.
The man grabbed a fork and a bread knife, started cutting the tuna mayo sandwich, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Mayden nodded.
"Good meal too, Jovian." Said.
Both were silent for a long time. Focus on enjoying each other's dinner.
Until it's been long enough. Finally Jovian put the knife also his fork. Grab a bottle of cold mineral water, drink it, then grab a pack of cigarettes and bring it one.
"You're done?" Jovian looked at the woman before him first.
Mayden nodded while cleaning his lips with a tissue that was already available on the table there.
"Is it okay to light a cigarette? But even moving is okay." Jovian said, then put the object in the cleft of his lips, light a match and suck it deep.
Two of his fingers took over the nicotine-containing object, immediately Jovian blew his smoke into a billow, and disappeared after the wind again blew.
"You live alone?" Jovian started to open the conversation.
"Yes, living with parents is quite complicated. We have a lot of things to do, and I can't live like that. There's a lot I want to make happen, .. and it can't happen if too many people hold back." Mayden.
"What do you really want to do? Don't parents want the best for their children?"
"Maybe other parents are. But not with my parents, they were selfish, and pointed me to do what they wanted."
Jovian smokes his cigarette back, and exhales his smoke in the air.
"Example?" Jovian started getting used to it.
Because after almost two years of graduation, he just found a girlfriend.
"School, college. Those who organize, while the majors do not match what I want. I wanted to be a model, but they forced me to become an expert in the law!"
Jovian nodded at.
"Then, how now?"
"I graduated S1 with a law degree. But I'm not doing anything right now, I don't want to, I can't."
"So you live here as an escape?"
"Frightly so." Mayden laughed softly.
While Jovian only chuckled when he heard it.
"Are all rich kids like that? And is it possible that Kiana always puts up a rebellion because she feels she is always on the bridle or something else? But the context is different here. If Mayden always obeyed the wishes of his parents, instead Kiana tried to refuse blatantly." Inner Jovian spoke, with a thought that began to be fixed on Kiana.
