METHANOIA
Confessions

Patra stared at the camera, checking the video he made with Zeline. Sometimes he takes a deep breath. Honestly, sometimes the focus is still split between tasks and enjoy the simple beauty that Zeline displays. Ah.. moments afternoon that feels so long but as if short because without feeling the task they are almost finished.

Zeline who is sipping strawberry punch orders Patra, feel the sensation of sour as well as sweet delicious. Patra didn't ask her what to order, but it didn't matter. Due to Patra's menu choices, it is also possible. Ah, Patra was endless making Zeline amazed. Not to mention the fact Patra already has a cool business like this. Zeline looked at Patra who looked serious. His expression looked flat and serious. Unknowingly, Zeline was enjoying the rare sight before her. Thick eye brows combined with a pair of hazel eyes. The sharp corners of the lips plus the nose that is not too sharp but not too pugnacious as well. Fit. The parade is very Indonesian. His skin is not white either. Sawo ripe. His body is not so athletic but strapping and his chest field. Why did Zeline just realize the existence of this enchanting creature?

"Satisfied, see me?" asked Patra who had subconsciously looked at Zeline. While Zeline? She looked at Patra with her chin up. Wait.... with a chin??? Since when did he have such a chin???

Zeline cleared her throat for a moment while taking off the position of her chin support, "Welll. I am still amazed anyway.lo can go to college while having a business. ." kilah Zeline. "Open, Cafe lo rame gini. Gini success."

Patra smiled in a knot, "Lo can also be like gini as long as he has a rich om. My business is 75% of my capital. 25% of my savings. So. origin om lo rich, all achieved. Better..bokap lo also rich. 100% success without capital."

Zeline laughed at Patra's words, "Yes too. Those are the most true motivational words... ."

Seeing Zeline's laughter, Patra made her laugh too. Ah, this is also the first time Patra can laugh off. I think he misses the word 'free'. Patra stroked back the silver ring that was still coiled in her hand. He hasn't taken the ring off. There are still anxious feelings. Patra was silent, considering that since last night he had not received any news from Sasha. Lastly, Aunt Sana is still telling if Sasha is okay. Still want breakfast and regular activities. But Patra was not calm. Moreover, his number turned out to have been blocked by Sasha.

"So... How's the video? That's good, hasn't it?" tanya Zeline broke Patra's daydream.

Patra nodded at a glance. "Enough. Tomorrow let me edit a little bit and hold me to professor Samuel."

Zeline nodded in satisfaction. "Good indeed. I also want a month of practice at the hospital. It will be hard to find more free time. The rest is the same as Elo. I'm very resigned to you." said Zeline who again made Patra smile thinly. A thin smile that is enough to make Zeline's chest thin-ketir.

"Oh.good. So faster is better also for us to complete the task. So, you relax."

There was a tinge of disappointment in Zeline's breath. True, after this it will be more difficult to join Samuel's professor class. That is, his chance to see Patra is also difficult. Damnit. Why is it that he only realized that there was Patra in Samuel's professor class?

Patra started cleaning up her camera as the sound of her phone shifted her focus.

Patra stared at the screen of her phone and hurriedly raised the call with an anxious face as well as relief. Call from Aunt Sana.

"Hello, Aunt... ."

"Patra.... Where are you?"

"Again tasks at the cafe. Why Auntie?"

"Saiah... ."

"Sasya why?"

"Sasya back drop! she.. act again!"

Damnit damnit! Patra was silent for a moment. Without further ado, he immediately tidied up all his things haphazardly and left just like that, leaving Zeline who was looking at him confused. Zeline was about to call Patra but stopped in front of the Cafe because Patra's motorbike had speeded away from the Cafe, leaving Zeline. By ourselves. Zeline pulls out her phone and types WA on Patra.

To: Sword Leaf

What was? Why rush? Kabarin if there's anything bad. Be careful on the road.

Zeline let out a long sigh and saved back her phone. There was a bit of disappointment because Patra had just left. Selflessly.

"Is there something bad going on? But, what?"

Ah, it doesn't make sense for Zeline to be that marketing with Patra's personal business. Zeline looked at the dark evening sky starting to wander. He has no right to Patra. Moreover, she was engaged. And Zeline. will get into practice hours. It's getting harder to see Patra.

Ah, once again, this is like playing with destiny.

-oOo

"Dibales how.. he read my WA, not." Zeline let out a long sigh, "Maybe it's the phone from her fiance. He just left. Hmmm.I think she loves her fiance. Ah, must be a cute fiancee. They must be the perfect couple."

Be ill. There is a feeling of pain. He just met Patra. But, her feelings were already so different to Patra's. Is this really love at first sight? To Patra?

"Zeline!"

Zeline looked up and found Reksa was already on the motorbike parked in front of her house. Mutual looks relieved to see the arrival of Zeline.

"Taxas? how come you can be here?"

"Why is WA I don't lo bales?"

Zeline sighs. He did see WA from Reksa. But, he was too focused on curiosity towards Patra's news. So, he ignored the mutual message. "Sori. My battery's been left behind." let Zeline lie a little. Okay, lots of lies.

Muta got off his bike and approached Zeline with relief. "Gie thinks you're okay."

"Gue is gedhe, kali. Anyway, it's common khan I long bales WA lo. Kom tumben lo until waiting for me."

"This time is different."

"Dih... different why?"

"Because you're out again with Patra. I can't calm down you're Patra's."

Zeline frowned confused. "Dih..angya why if I came out with the Patra? Anyway, it's for the sake of duty, Mutual.lebay, deh... ."

Muta. He fell in his silence. She was worried because Zeline had already told her about her feelings for Patra. Obviously, this made him anxious. He can't and doesn't want Zeline to like Patra. He had to stop it before it got any further. He's doing something.

"Gue likes ama lo, Zeline. ." said Reksa.

Zeline blinked for a moment, "Gue also likes ama lo."

Mutual looked up surprised, "Ha?"

"Lo khan bestie, me! Yes I like it. Where do I want to be bestie for people I don't like."

Mutual snorted, "My feelings are more than that, Zeline... ."

"meaning?"

"I feel more than like it. I'm in love with ama lo. I love you, Zeline Zakeisha."

Deg. Mutual did not expect to have said that sentence. Mutual did not expect him to actually express the honesty of his feelings to Zeline. Anxious, but also relieved. Now, he just had to be ready to face the risk after saying all this. But, this was better than giving up before fighting.

Mutual slowly grasped Zeline's hand, "Gue ama lo love. From the beginning, just elo in my heart." Mutual was sure to be honest with his feelings. He was afraid that he would lose Zeline if he were not honest right now. He should start fighting for his feelings instead of succumbing to the person who is new to them. Patras. He can't just walk away.

Zeline gulped full of shock. Reksa's warm hands that hold his hands increasingly make his feelings ambiguous. He did not expect to hear this confession from a Mutual. He has just admitted his interest in Patra, instead of getting a love confession from Reksa. Of love? Ah, it's an exaggerated feeling from Mutual for him. This is too sudden. And, like it's not real.

Really...what else is the plan of destiny?
