MAHMUD, I Love U
Two Sejoli

"Before, I would like to thank my friends for taking the time to come to this simple party of mine," Raras said while holding a cake knife that he was ready to use to cut a white chocolate-studded black forest in front of him. Every now and then Raras steals a glance at Rendra who stands a few meters in front of him.

"And super thanks to my brother who tonight looks pretty good...." Raras' words were interrupted due to the noise of the friends cheering him on.

"Huuuuu."

Raras laughed a little while looking at Budi. His only sister chuckled.

"He said handsome because there was a wish it wasuuu," said Budi back to mocking his sister.

Raras laughed again, this time timidly. Because when he circled his gaze at the direction of his guests, he saw that Rendra was laughing as well. That guy is so sweet.

That night, Raras was happy not a bitch. He never expected that with the increase in age this year, he had the arrival of a special guest. Rendra, the handsome guy she's been craving for a long time. Seeing Rendra who laughed directly in front of him, made Raras play his imagination by making his rain man laugh in slow motion mode. If time could be stopped for a moment, Raras wanted to walk up to Rendra and stand in front of him. He was eager to see the man's laughter closer.

The Raras birthday core event is over. Some of Raras' friends have already returned home, and some others still survive in Copikita enjoying the acoustic music played by Budi's band of friends. Rizal seemed to be casually sitting at the table with four other comrades including Budi. Meanwhile, Rendra is now sitting in the toilet because he is confused. Rizal asks her to come to the back of the cafe to meet Raras. Actually Rendra did not want to come, but Rizal had been pushing Rendra to want to go to the back.

The back of the cafe Kopikita is a land area that is not too wide which on each edge is planted banyan trees that are only 1.5 meters high. There are also four tables complete with chairs to accommodate visitors who want to enjoy coffee roofed sky. Colorful tumbler lights lit up along the walls of the building also decorate the night. It's beautiful there.

After thinking for quite a while, Rendra finally decided to come. He walked alone to the back of the cafe. There was already Raras sitting back to Rendra who stopped his steps for a moment. Rendra was confused to think about what to say later. Because meeting Raras there was not his wish. All he did for his favorite big brother.

Rendra grunted confusedly. Nevertheless he continued his footsteps approaching Raras. From behind he looked at Raras' straight black hair touching his waist. That woman is so graceful. In contrast to Mayra who has short hair and often tidakilan. Although at certain moments Mayra can also be a graceful woman not playing.

"Well! Mayra again, Mayra again!" Rendra muttered inwardly as she shook her head against her own thoughts. For a long time he could be crazy too if all the things he always compared with Mayra.

Rendra continued to walk up to Raras until now he was in front of him. Without any excuse, the dashing man immediately sat on the chair in front of Raras. The lady in awe was smiling in a friendly welcome.

"Hi," said Raras more relaxed than the first meeting earlier.

"Hi too" replied Rendra clumsily. She was at a loss as to why the woman in front of her said 'Hi' again. Though when he had just arrived earlier, Raras had also greeted him with 'Hi'.

"By the way, did you invite me here?" Ask Raras tho the point. He was already wondering why the man in front of him had asked him to come to the back of the cafe.

Hearing Raras question, Rendra scratched his non-itchy eyebrows. He was sure he had been framed by his big brother.

"Mm, it's okay. Want to sit alone, hehe," replied Rendra confused while grimacing unbecoming.

Raras smiled shyly. He thought, the man in front of him was attracted to him. Rendra grimaced again. He bit his lips in confusion.

Silent. Both are confused about what to talk about.

"Oh yeah, do you help out here every night?" Rendra's question finally broke the silence.

"Hm, not really. Yeah, if I'm bored at home, I just got here. Why the hell?" Raras looked at the spoiled Rendra's eyes. Her sweet smile never escaped her thin pink-red lips.

"Hehe." Rendra grimaced again. He felt wrong asking. The question he had asked earlier would probably make the girl in front of him hopeful.

"Oh yeah, just stop by, Ren. Here it's cool if it's night," said Raras has started to enjoy the atmosphere. His nervousness had faded.

So did Rendra. The man was secretly enjoying the atmosphere as well. Raras turned out to be cool too to be invited to talk. Rendra smiled and lowered her head. Rinas chuckles.

Outside, a white car with two people on board landed in the parking lot. The car window glass opens half. The parking lot of Kopikita cafe is indeed very spacious. The land from the parking lot to the cafe is quite wide.

"Mas, Mas, sorry to ask," said the female passenger who had turned her head from the inside to stop a young man who happened to pass by.

"Yes, Ma'am, what's wrong?" Answer the young man closer to the white car he will pass.

"This cafe's closed?" Ask the passenger while pointing at a board that says 'CLOSE' which is not far from the car stopped.

"Yes, Ma'am, right," the young man replied briefly.

"Well, but not in a lot of people, huh?" Now the passenger's hand pointed towards the crowd inside the cafe.

"Yes, Mother. This cafe is being used for birthday events" replied the young man again.

"Oooh so. Aye, yes. Yes thank you, ma'am," said the friendly passenger. The young man nodded as he passed.

"Well, tomorrow again huh, Yank?" The passenger said sorry to the man beside him. "I was also curious, you know. He said the coffee here is good."

"It's okay, Yank. We'll be here sometime. We just go home, right? Poor Grace," replied the man gently as he drove his car.

Rendra and Rizal are now home. They lay their bodies on the sofa facing each other. Rendra placed both hands behind his head while closed. While Rizal looked at his friend it was sharp.

"Oy, how was that? Smoothly?" Rizal was curious about the results of his plan to combine Rendra with his friend's sister.

"Yes consider it smooth. Let me be happy, Bang," replied Rendra, keeping quiet.

"Hahaha, asem times you! I think I'm already like Grandpa Maringgih who betrothed Siti Nurbaya only," said Rizal origin.

"Hahahaha, fuck you, Bang!! Where did Grandpa Maringgih match Siti Nurbaya? Haha." Rendra was broken while still closed.

"Eh why is it? Is something wrong?" Rizal asked astonishment.

"Hahaha, you know ah, Bang. I'm upset with you." Rendra's laughter broke again. "Be careful you Bang! I will repay your actions with a painful reply!!" Threaten Rendra while glaring sharply.

"Hahahaha, it's like I'm the usury," Rizal's laughter also broke. "Already, already! Your brother wants to take a shower first so quickly change clothes. So sick of seeing this shirt" said Rizal while pinching his shirt.

"Maha." Rendra broke up the night.

Rizal silently smiled. He was happy to see his 'sister' laughing loosely. 'May you always be happy, Ren.'
