Tonight Rizal invites Rendra to go to the place where he used to be, a cafe that is not too big but quite crowded, Kopikita cafe. Kopikita is a cafe directed by one of Rizal's friends, Budi, whose main purpose is to accommodate his friends who are upset and have no place to just unwind. When the first opening of Kopikita first, who came was his hangout friend who immediately made the cafe room full, including Rizal.
Although not as luxurious as the surrounding cafes, but Kopikita in fact has its own place in the hearts of its customers. In addition to the live acoustics that the singer can be anyone from the visitors, other things that attractants are as the name implies, Kopikita has a menu of drinks of various kinds of processed coffee. Budi whose father is the owner of the coffee garden, it will be easy to get quality coffee beans for the manufacture of coffee cafe that is famous for its delicious.
"Ehem." Rizal deliberately cleared his throat while shaking his body on the one-meter-high marble table where Budi concocted coffee behind it. The owner of the cafe glanced unsurprised. Because they made a promise from morning.
Rendra, who had come to Copikita for the first time, looked around in amazement. While on the trip, Rizal told me a little that the place they would visit was a cafe owned by his friend that he built alone, without the help of parents. Coffee obtained from his parents' garden was not obtained for free. Budi should still spend even if not 100% of the price. At least that's what his family taught him. In business, children must be able to manage it themselves.
"Ada?" Rizal asked Budi fully inquired. Rendra who was standing next to him obviously had no idea what his friend was discussing.
"There was. Just sit down first," replied Budi immediately understood Rizal's intentions.
"Haha. Siaaaap!" Rizal raised his hand to the tos. Budi greeted him quickly then immediately passed to the back. While Rizal invites Rendra to sit with a glance in his eyes.
Rizal looked for the back seat, far away with his group of friends who were busy playing music in front. The light brown square room with round tables made of shiny teak was deliberately arranged lined but irregularly filled the floor with chess patterns. Mini lanterns hanging over each table add to the beauty of the decor that Budi usung.
"Where can this cool friend come from, Bang?" Rendra asked while enjoying the guitar passages that were being played by the people in front of him. Rendra had now gotten used to calling his friend 'Abang'. Instead of having lived at home long enough, Rizal was already really like a big brother to him.
"Introduced a college friend first. Try to be safe first, right? Surely we often come here both," said Rizal teasing friends beside him.
"Hahahaha," Rendra's laughter was crisp. He is always sad if he remembers about himself and Rizal first. Enemies because of women? No way!!
From a distance, one female servant walked by carrying two cups of coffee in her tray towards the table that Rizal occupied. Rendra watched him sharply.
"Bang, how pretty is that? That waitress is coming?" Rendra patted Rizal's leg slowly.
"Hahaha, yes. He's gonna drop us a coffee. Would you agree that she's beautiful?" Rizal asked back. Rendra nodded.
Before long, the woman with her horse-punched waist hair placed two steaming cups of coffee emitting a fragrant aroma on Rizal's desk.
"Thank you, Ras," said Rizal casually as he took a cup of coffee in front of him and savored the aroma with his eyes closed.
Rendra nodded in understanding. His friend had often come to the cafe, he must have been familiar with the waiter there.
"Sit, Race!" Pinta Rizal then while preparing a chair for the sweet woman who was still standing in front of him.
"Thank you," he replied embarrassedly while occupying the seat provided.
Rendra could only smile thinly while nodding her head as the woman in front of him was seen greeting her through her smile.
"You are beautiful, he said," Tukas Rizal told the woman as he rolled the corner of his eyes at Rendra.
Rendra who was sipping coffee was clearly choking. Maybe his friend could just talk. Although he admitted that the woman was beautiful, but he did not expect that Rizal would immediately tell her. The woman who was now sitting with them chuckled at Rendra's behavior.
"That's how it chokes. Fascinated look at your smile, Ras. The sweetness of the coffee is also obviously lewaaat." Rizal's still making it up. The woman chuckles. Rendra followed no intention. He was confused by the sudden strange behavior of his friend.
"Include Ren, Raras," Rizal said moving his head towards the woman named Raras as if forcing Rendra to immediately extend her hand.
"Rarasati," he said, hand-stretching, smiling sweetly. One dimple her cheek is cupped.
Rendra took a slow breath. There's a Mayra feature on that woman, dimples. In the actual pleasant conditions, there are still things that can remind the man to the woman he loves. The woman in front of him was no less beautiful than Mayra. But for Rendra, Mayra remains the special one.
"Rendra," said Rendra finally welcomed the soft hand of Raras.
"Can fit right? One Rrrrrenda, one Rrrrrraras, the same Rrrrrrr." Rizal messed up instead of playing managed to make Rendra laugh again, even Raras.
"Aren't you also Rrrrrrrrrrr, Bang? Rrrrizaaboo!!" Rendra chimed in.
"Hahahahhahahaa," Rizal's laughter bubbled up filling one room. Rizal and Rendra did not care about the place and time if they both wanted to laugh, they would let go satisfied, no one was detained.
Looking at the two men in front of him wide-eyed, Raras smiled wryly. Rendra caught that smile by accident. Her smile was so sweet, really.
"Eh already this? Just acquaintances like that?" Rizal protest at his friend who that night seemed stiff.
From the morning Rizal had planned the agenda tonight with Budi. He wanted to introduce Raras to Rendra. Instead of wanting to help a friend who is heartbroken because of a married woman. Although the end result no one knows, but trying is not a bad thing.
"You don't wonder who this pretty waitress is? Maybe you want to ask, why are you beautiful as a waiter?" Rizal raised both eyebrows teasing Rendra.
Rendra agrees. For the size of Raras, she was too beautiful and clean for the cafe waitress who was not too big. It was seen that his skin was well groomed and earlier when shaking hands, the woman's hands were too smooth. Natural thin makeUp that sticks to the girl's face is very obvious signifies that she is good at adjusting the makeup that fits her face. At first glance Rendra is not sure that Raras is a servant.
"Rubber!! She's not a waitress." Rizal said as if he could read the look on Rendra's astonished face. "He's Budi's sister" he continued. Rendra nodded, her curiosity answered already.
"Tuh Rendra is now in front of you, just say what you have been craving, halal. He is not married yet" Rizal told Raras to start talking again as he passed away leaving the two of them there.
Rendra clumsy. He doesn't know what to talk about. Not because he's not good at it. But his heart was in a mess at this moment. He has not intended to get acquainted with women for any purpose. Just yesterday he he was heartbroken because of Mayra, today he directly proffered Rizal with another woman? His heart is not that big.
Raras smiled again. And undeniably, Rendra enjoyed that smile very much, very shady.
"Have we not met for a long time? You healthy?" Tanya Rinas broke the silence between the two for a moment.
"Hmm, good health. But we've met, have we?" Rendra doesn't understand. Because he did not feel like he had met Raras before.
"Hehe. Actually never met in person. It's just that I often see you, without you knowing," said Raras timidly. But he deliberately emboldened himself because he had indeed been waiting for these moments, sitting alone with the man he had long suspected.
"See me? Where's really?" Rendra was curious.
"On campus. We used to be a college."
"Oooh, so." Rendra originally agreed, because he really did not feel ever met or just saw Raras on his campus. Or maybe because he was too indifferent so he did not pay attention to the people passing by around him. "Greetings, yes." Rendra seemed to invite you to meet again even though he was already acquainted. At least this time he was the one who made the introduction first.
Rendra, Raras, will it be compatible?
