Melancholic Introvert
Chapter 23: Waiting

“CUUUUUUUUURRRRRR!!!” The sound of a water tap running down the glass of the men's toilet, Arga washed his face many times. So as not to look when his face, just finished crying.

………

……

“*You don't Ge’er!” Seru Reva's.

“Ge’er?” Ask Arga.

“Iya Ge’er, actually Gladish used to shoot you not because He likes you... NOT..” Connect Reva again.. to save self-esteem, his old friend, Gladish.

“Not?” Ask Arga again, not understanding.

“Iya very right, actually Gladish, Me and Reva used to bet..” Continued Nadia, also wanted to save the self-esteem of her old friend. “So fill our bet, if Gladish can shoot Elo, and Elo receive, we will thank Gladish money*.”

……

………

Somehow the words that came from the mouth of Reva and Nadia, always shadowed in the inner Arga and of course the words hurt her feelings very much.

“Already Arga~ do not cry again, later Arya will laugh at you!” He murmured inwardly, calming himself.

Gladish glanced at an antique wall clock hanging on the walls of Caffe, Caffe's clock was eight o'clock exactly, already half an hour from the time they made the appointment to meet.

Around it has been filled by visitors who come, most of whom come with a partner or the opposite sex respectively. Gladish also began not to be confident, because in the Caffe, only he sat alone.

He also took his phone back, and called the same person back, and either this phone call has been repeated many times, and the result is the same…

“TUUUUUUUUTTTT... TUUUUUUUUTTTT... TUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTT.... The number you are heading to is inactive or out of range..” And for the umpteenth time, echoing from the direction of Gladish's phone.

“Kruyuuuuukkk.” Suddenly Gladish's stomach rang. “Duuhh Arga long ago, I have lapeeerr..” Pekik Gladish while groping her rumbling stomach.

When Arya was sitting while tying her shoelaces on the porch of the musolah gate. After finishing performing the Isya Prayer.

“You Practice where Mr Doctor?” Asked someone, whom Arya saw wearing black Maroon-accented Sneakers, come up to her.

Arya put her head up, “Arga?” Mumbled.

“You are funny once~” Sindir Arga while patting his hand, seeing his brother wearing a Doctor's Coat, on holidays and in a relaxing recreation place like this.

“Hey you, tumben your clothes this fashionable? Are you going on a date?” Arya asked, narrowing her eyes, looking at the Outfit that Arga wore which was dominated by the Maroon Red color, was an unusual Outfit.

Arga was silent, he recalled that tonight was the night of his agreement with Gladish to have dinner together at a Caffe.

“Ah~ Oh yes forgot,” Arya also hit the seat slowly. “You're a Singles!” Sindir Arya replied to her sister's insinuation just now.

Arga also smiled cynically, her brother from the past, until now, still the same, still unchanged, still do not want to lose in any debate with his sister.

Though his age has entered the age of 22 more, no longer a teenager like himself. “You want to go home, or I'll stay here?!” Threaten Arga towards Arya, with cold eyes, while lifting his finger and turning his car keys.

Before returning to Bogor, Arga and Arya stopped by the nearest Police Station, of course, still in the Ancol area, to make a report about the theft, it turns out that in the police station there is a middle-aged woman, a middle-aged woman, who found Arya's purse on the street.

Arya is constantly grateful because the important cards in her wallet are not missing, such as ID cards, SIM, ATM Cards, Student Cards, Health Cards and others do not disappear from her wallet. Even though a dollar and rupiah in the wallet, it has been left unnoticed.

It was not felt that the antique wall clock hanging on the walls of the Cibogy Caffe, showing at half-ninth and past five minutes, had passed about an hour more, than the time they promised to meet.

Gladish who had waited about an hour ago, now his stomach began to rumble.

He immediately ordered Chicken Katsu as a snack, while waiting for the arrival of Arga in the beautiful Caffe, which shades of glass in the area above the wall.

“I'll order rice later, just as Arga came.” The tomboy girl muttered, planning her dinner, while eating her Chicken Katsu, after hunger struck her stomach.

“AGH~ I'm tired once.” Pekek Arya, get out of the red car and relax the muscles of his hands, which are a bit tired of taking over the red car, in a distance of a fairly long trip.

Arga also immediately got out of the red car, and ran through his house, to enter his room area, to reach a cellphone that had been left on his black sideboard closet.

He also took the phone from his room. “See there are as many as 43 WA messages coming in, and there are as many as 52 missed calls, and all of them from the same person, Gladish. And the Handphone battery looks flushed at 15% because of the messages and calls in a row.

When he wanted to open his WA message, suddenly the words of Reva and Nadia flashed again in his head.

……

…

“*You don't Ge’er!” Seru Reva's.

“Ge’er?” Ask Arga.

“Iya Ge’er, actually Gladish used to shoot you not because He likes you... NOT..” Connect Reva again.. to save self-esteem, his old friend, Gladish.

“Not?” Ask Arga again, not understanding.

“Iya very right, actually Gladish, Me and Reva used to bet..” Continued Nadia, also wanted to save the self-esteem of her old friend. “So fill our bet, if Gladish can shoot Elo, and Elo receive, we will thank Gladish money*.”

…

……

Arga closed his eyes tightly, there was a feeling of pain that attacked around the upper part of his heart.

“DRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTT…. DRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTT...” Arga mobile phone also vibrates quickly, from the direction of the screen that says “Gladish Calling.”

Maybe the girl realized that her WA message to Arga had already ticked two, because now the Introvert man was turning on his Data Package. Although dozens of WA messages that the girl sent have not been read by Arga.

Arga was confused as to what to do. He immediately pressed the Power Off (Dead off) Handphone button firmly. And mengharge Handphonenya on his desk with the reverse state.

He also lay down and followed her back in the direction of her blue bed.

At this time Arga was crying sobbing, yah~ Melancholic Introverted man was crying so much that he vented all the anger that he had been holding back, the anger that he had been hiding.

He still could not accept that he was only used as betting material…

He still could not digest that he was just a tool used to earn some money.

By someone who has always considered this special.

Sick?

At this moment, his heart felt a tremendous pain.

Pain that cannot be described with words.

₩₩₩₩₩

“Why is his mobile phone now unable to connect yah?” Gladish muttered as he made his 54th call toward Arga's contact number.

Currently Gladish Mobile Battery is also dying which is about 28%, Gladish was very upset with Arga, and immediately intends to go home.

After spending 2 glasses of Chocolate Milk Shake and 3 plates of snacks, the first plate is Chicken Katsu, the second plate is Fried Potato, and the third plate is Cheese Burger.

And at this time his stomach was still hungry, because he had not touched the rice all night.

“BRAAAAAKKKKKK!” Gladish stood up, pounding his dinner table. Plates and glasses around it vibrate (Unfortunate not to fall).

The couple sitting around him started staring at him with terrified expressions. Looking at Gladish's fierce face, like an aura of wanting to kill.

“Basic Guys Br*ngseeekkk!!!” His screech was upset, with glazed eyes.

Gladish was currently feeling like a fool, waiting alone at Caffe in the Peak area.
