Our Joke
For the time being

A girl was sitting alone in a cafe selling various gelato. Who else if not Adel. His habit of being with his mom when feeling sad is to buy ice cream. Only Adel and his late mother knew.

Adel looked out the window. He let the ice cream in front of him melt by itself.

I don't know there's no appetite for just scooping that ice cream. He was no longer crying but the girl's mind was upset. His heart felt pain remembering the thing he had just seen.

Adel took the spoon that was next to the ice cream. He took a deep breath while staring at the ice cream.

A spoonful of ice cream was already in his hands. He looked at the ice cream before he ate it too.

Adel again sighed long "Kok I cry anyway see Nao hugged another girl? How does it hurt here? I have no feelings for him. But why do you think it's gini?"

Slowly the tears flowed back from Adel's eyes. I don't know if the girl wants to deny the reality that she has about her feelings for Nao, but her heart can't lie.

Adel then grabbed the tissue to wipe his tears. He took his phone to check the clock. He only realized that from now on his phone reflex he turned off when in a taxi.

Adel's phone is back on. Dozens of messages and missed calls from Nao adorned Adel's phone screen. Shortly before opening the message, Nao called back.

Adel pressed the green button with a slight hesitation. As soon as the phone was answered, a voice full of worry rang out across there.

Nao asks Adel's whereabouts at the moment but the girl is silent. He just listened to Nao's chatter across the street. There was no response.

"Nao, please, for a while don't call me or see me first. Even at school, can it be for each other to be indifferent?" adel said later. He turned off the phone from Nao. The girl came back crying.

Next day. Adel set off early by bus. He was serious about what he said yesterday.

At school, Adel tries to look fine. He mingled with his classmates as usual.

The break time arrives. As usual, Andi will approach the table Adel and Dita in order to the cafeteria with Nao.

"Come" asked Andi.

Dita immediately stood up from her seat but not for Adel. The girl sat sweet.

Dita looked at Adel "Ayo Del"

Adel smiled faintly "You guys go first, I bring the stock anyway"

"Can be eaten in the cafeteria as well as Del" elak Dita.

"Gue wants to eat here alone" Adel smiled faintly again.

"Yaudah Dit, if Adel does not want to come do not be forced, you just join come, as usual" said Andi.

"Jaudah deh, Del, I first yes" said Dita and only replied to a nod of the head from Adel.

Adel stared at Dita and Andi's departure from class. Nao was clearly in front of his class. Their eyes meet. They sat. Then Adel turned his eyes away from Nao.

Since hearing Adel's words yesterday, Nao followed Adel's will. After all, he wanted to explain everything to Adel for free before the girl herself would give him a chance.

Meanwhile in the cafeteria. The friends of the two of them, of course, felt suspicious.

Nao just stared at Dita at a glance. There was no answer for Dita because Nao chose silence.

Kevin poured soy sauce on a bowl of soto that he ordered "Where there, you do not remember yesterday they were alone and we live. Your friend's just shy of times"

Andi took the fritters "Fear of being teased the same lo, so he chose in class only"

Kevin stared at Andi. He then patted Andi's arm at a glance "Ngaca sono, you also like to follow"

Andi only grinned with Kevin's accusations because it's true.

"Guys, can I ask you guys a favor?" nao suddenly said.

"Please what?" ask Malvin.

"It's about.." Nao's answer made the others stare in wonder at him. Let's not say what Dita is true if she has a problem with Adel.

Here Nao began to explain everything to the four people. They only respond briefly and sometimes nod their heads.

The break is almost over. Nao and the others returned to their respective classes. Arriving in front of Adel's class, the man looked at Adel who looked busy writing.

They sat back together as Adel unintentionally stared at the door.

Nao just stared at Adel flatly for a moment. He seemed to laugh a little because of the conversation with his best friend. Afterwards he was seen saying goodbye to Andi and left from the front of Adel's class.

Sitting next to Adel. While Adel looked at Dita carefully. He hoped Nao would send him a message.

Dita picked up the book "Tadi in the cafeteria, Nao..."

"Nao why Dit? Nao send greetings to me right?" adel said in his heart. Apparently he hoped.

"...photo the same adek class Del, continue.." so continued Dita's words that are not expected by Adel.

Adel chose to ignore Dita's story which he thought was not important. He returned to busy himself.

***

School home arrived. Adel walked with some of his classmates. Nao's car passed through him without even a horn sound.

"That's Nao's car, right? You're not with Nao?" ask Ria.

"Oh, that, Nao, there's business" Adel gave a false answer.

Adel's classmates are just beards because they believe in the origin of Adel's speech.

Arriving in front of the school gate, Adel's friends say goodbye. Now there is only himself sitting at the stop to wait for the bus to come.

Slender. That was what he felt without Nao at his side. Adel's mind is getting messed up. It seems Nao and the girl are reunited. The girl Adel thought was Nao's lover.
