Pursuing the Love of Rhea
34. Weekly Night
Huuff...
Rhea exhaled a tired breath as the girl entered her room. Currently Rhea has just returned from the cafe along with the rest of the basketball team. After the girl placed the gym bag originally on the floor, Rhea immediately laid her body on the bed.
Drowsiness that began to attack, making Rhea did not have time to change clothes first. When the girl was just about to dive into her dreamland, suddenly Rhea was shocked by a loud ringing of a cell phone from inside her sports bag. Making Rhea immediately get up to pick up the phone because Rhea was waiting for a phone call from someone.
When the phone was successful Rhea got, the girl enthusiastically immediately shifted the green color icon listed on the screen without seeing who called.
Rhea: "Hello! Where the hell is Gavin? How did you not contact me from then on? Is the business done?"
"...": .......
Rhea: "Why is she?? Gavin's sister has another toothache?"
Shasa: " Markonah, it's me Shasa! Lo's eyes are blind, don't you see who Nelfon Lo from earlier?
Rhea: "Fuck Lo! I thought Gavin was. You see, I just woke up, so my eyes were very small."
Shasa: "Remason for you! Btw, sorry, Rhee, I did not see Lo the same Ara basketball training. I'm going to leave if there's no friend. The aunt used the excuse to break Brian in the cafe again. So lying!"
Rhea: "Aunty doesn't lie! He actually nolongin mas Brian in the cafe earlier. I saw it myself. If you don't believe ask Ara."
Shasa: "Why did you take Ara to the cafe? Just don't take me anymore! Not loyal, Lo!"
Rhea: "I same kids basketball team again lunch. So it's impossible if I take Lo there too."
Shasa: "Oh so it is! Then why did Gavin not connect with Lo from earlier. Until he imagines everything else, if he's the phone."
Rhea: "She said there was some important business. But Sha, Gavin's brother can't possibly cheat, right?? I'm thinking about it! I think it's weird. He usually calls me most. But from yesterday just chatan doang. This morning was just a phone call for a second to hear. I'm just overthinking it!"
Shasa: "Don't let me down Rhee. Brother Gavin can't cheat on Lo. Maybe if he has important business. So he didn't cut Lo."
Rhea: " So that's Sha! It's really cute!"
Shasa: "No need to be so careful. You have to believe in Gavin!"
Rhea: "Yes a baffle!"
Shasa: "Rhee, how about we go to Bibi's cafe. Let Lo not think of Gavin Mulu. Let's take Ara along and make a race. What do you think of Lo?"
Rhea: "Hmm. But I asked mom first. If I get it, I'll tell you!"
Shasa: "Oops! I'm waiting for ya! Let me call Ara later too. Bye-bye Rhee!"
Rhea: "Yes, bye-bye also Sha."
During Shasa's phone call at the end, Rhea immediately rested her body to get back fit to go tonight to the cafe with Shasa and Ara. Rhea thought no more about Gavin who had not contacted her since morning. Rhea immediately fell asleep and entered her dreamland peacefully.

" Malem Aunt! Shasa's going to get Rhea. Rhea asked for permission, didn't she have Auntie?" Shasa greeted Mother Citra as she entered the Adinata residence.
" Night too Sha! Rhea asked for permission from my aunt. Yuk, come in first! Wait for Rhea inside. His son hasn't come out of the room either." Mommy said kindly and then invited Shasa to enter the house.
" Thank you pretty aunt." Praise Shasa to Aunt Citra. Not to forget Shasa also took the arms of the mother of Citra and entered the house.
When Shasa and Bunda entered the family room, there were already Adinata and Rafka Fathers sitting while enjoying an entertainment show that was being aired on television.
" Night Om! Night bang Rafka!!" Shasa greeted the two different people of that generation cheerfully while showing off his row of white and clean teeth.
" Night too Sha! Reply to Father and Rafka at the same time.
" Where are you going Sha?" Rafka asked a little to Shasa who was already sitting next to her.
" The plan is to go to the Teen Cafe Bang! It just so happened that I had part time work there." Shasa said honestly while looking at Rafka's very handsome face tonight. Shasa is a little groggy because of the face back by Rafka.
" Ooohhhh that is." Rafka just bearded the sign of understanding and then looked back at the big television screen.
" Bang Rafka don't go on weekly nights?" Shasa asked curiously. At this time Rafka looks relaxed just wearing shirts and shorts. There are no indications that Rafka will go out tonight.
" Sister males Sha. There are no girls invited. Meningan Abang mendem at home. If you are bored most brother play games on hp." Rafka replied casually while chewing on the chips that were on the boy's lap.
" It's good that way." Shasa muttered softly while smiling happily.
" What did you say Sha?" Rafka again asked Shasa because she heard the girl muttering quietly by herself.
" I'm not talking about anything bang. Hehe..." Shasa could only laugh out loud, covering up the words that had accidentally come out of his mouth earlier.
Shasa, who has no more chat material with Rafka, chose to watch the show on TV.
" Have you come to Sha?" Rhea's loud voice from the direction of the stairs made Shasa a little surprised because the girl was busy watching TV.
Currently Rhea is ready to go with a fairly simple appearance but still stylish. The girl wore a white knee-length tutu skirt, combined with a simple yellow motif t-shirt. Not to forget Rhea was also wearing her favorite white sneaker. Her long straight hair was let loose, making the girl look even prettier tonight.
" Of course! From lebaran taon yesterday I waited for Lo here! But it's only now that you're nongolnya!" Answer Shasa jutek. He had been waiting for Rhea for about 15 minutes. Fortunately there was Rafka accompanying Shasa beside her, so the girl was not too bored waiting for Rhea to get out of the room.
" Santuy Sha, don't be angry! I don't give you my blessing!" Rhea's words commemorate Shasa. The girl sneered at Shasa who was already visibly upset that Rhea was teasing her.
" You want to give me the blessing of what Rhee is?" Knock Rafka suddenly. It turned out that the man listened to his sister's chat with his best friend.
" There you are, Brother Kepo!" Answer Rhea quickly. Rhea could see Shasa glaring back at her. So Rhea chose not to tell Rafka about the blessing she meant.
" Oh, don't keep arguing! You guys are leaving, right? Inget ya Rhee, he's home before 10. Otherwise, you'll have Rafka bang nyariin you." Mother Citra said a little firmly. Mother does not want to happen bad things, if the girl came home too late.
" Sip's bund!!" Answer Rhea briefly while giving a thumbs up to Mother.
" Take good care of yourself, son!" Father added.
" Okay Dad!" Rhea finally greeted all the family members in the family room and immediately pulled Shasa out of the house to rush to the Teen Cafe.
*****
" Rame ya Sha!" Rhea and Shasa just got off the taxi. They can both see the Teen cafe is currently so crowded with visitors who are average teenagers like the two of them.
" Yes Rhee! But take it easy, Auntie has prepared a table for us. Kuy, let's wait for Ara inside!" Shasa immediately rested on Rhea's arm to get into the cafe. As the two of them walked towards the cafe, the few guys who were there threw glances in praise of the beauty of the two of them. But as if not caring, Rhea and Shasa were just being indifferent and immediately entered the cafe to look for Bibi.
" he..!" Shasa greeted Aunt who was standing at the cashier's desk. When she saw the arrival of Shasa and Rhea, Aunt smiled happily and immediately approached her two best friends.
" Why new nyampe? Where's Ara?" Aunty looked back and did not find Ara's whereabouts.
" Because this is Bi's son. She's so fucking melted." Shasa blames Rhea for taking too long out of the room so they are both a little late from the agreed hour. While Rhea just gave her grin to Bibi without refuting Shasa's words at all.
" The Ara said he was nyampe again! Where are we going to sit, Bi?" Rhea immediately switched the subject so that Shasa would not continue to blame her.
" That's right there!" Said Bibi briefly while pointing at the table in the middle of the cafe and accompanied Rhea and Shasa to sit there. They can see the Teen Cafe is very crowded tonight. Good thing Bibi has provided a table for them, otherwise they are not sure they all go to some place.
" Whoa.ada is playing the band Bi!" Rhea said excitedly. The atmosphere at the cafe grew lively with the appearance of the band who was on a small stage in the corner of the cafe.
As Rhea watched more closely, it turned out that Rhea recognized the person who was singing with her melodious voice.
" Brother Arga!" Rhea said in surprise while pointing at the person who was singing in front. Shasa and Bibi who saw Rhea were shocked, immediately following the direction of Rhea's gaze.
" You know Arga's brother, Rhee?" Ask aunt curiously.
" Yes, he's the brother of the coach of my OSIS during a friendly event of the same year." Rhea explained. Rhea did not think that Arga was a band boy. Arga's voice is also very good according to Rhea.
" Rhee's Sauce?" Shasa suddenly. Making Rhea snick cynically towards her best friend.
" Canda Rhee! I'm just muji dikit doang! I'm still interested in being Lo's sister-in-law! Hehehe.." said Shasa casually while laughing grimily.
" Don't want to have Shasa's sister-in-law, Rhee! Ntar Abang Lo miserable afterlife." Ledek Aunty this time.
" Fuck Lo!" Shasa yelled at Auntie's head not to accept. Meanwhile Rhea could only laugh a little at the behavior of the two of them.
While they were enjoying the song performed by brother Arga with his band, Ara suddenly appeared to surprise the three of them.
" Woe..!!! On seriously anyway! I didn't realize I was coming." Ara who had just arrived at that place, immediately sat herself in the seat next to Rhea.
" Markonah.if the dateng give you greetings! Not ngagetin!" Said Aunt a little annoyed while stroking her chest that was pounding because Ara was startling her earlier.
" Hehehe..sorry Bi! Btw, did you order some food?" Ask her three best friends.
" Not yet, we've just been nyampe." Answer Shasa as he is.
" Wait a moment!" Auntie immediately stood up and left Rhea, Shasa and Ara at that table.
" The one who sang it, wasn't our upperclassman Rhee?" Ask Ara to Rhea. Ara had seen Arga several times in school. He only realized after seeing Arga longer.
" Yes, it's called brother Arga. He's my big brother's coach at a friendly event yesterday." Obviously Rhea on Ara again.
" The guy is cute! It sounds good again!" Praise Ara this time. Rhea and Shasa who were listening to Ara's chatter could only smile and nod their heads in justification.
When one song has been successfully sung Arga so well, Arga immediately greeted all the visitors of Teen cafe tonight.
" Good night everyone. We're from the Marvel Band. It's nice to cheer you all up tonight. If any of you want to contribute a song or want to duet with me, please go ahead!" Arga said while showing off his smile to everyone in the Cafe.
Instantly everyone who was there who had just been silent heard the ravings of Arga, immediately directly ragged to his fellow friends. They actually wanted to do a duet with Arga, but were ashamed of their mediocre voice.
When they had not all volunteered, Ara confidently raised her hand so that everyone's attention was on the girl including Rhea and Shasa who were both shocked.
" Hey.do you want a duet with me?" Ask Arga to the girl who raised her hand earlier.
" Not my brother, but my friend!" Said Ara loudly while pointing at Rhea who was beside her. Instantly Rhea sneered at Ara, while Shasa could only laugh gigglingly seeing Ara pranking Rhea.
Arga then turned his gaze to the girl pointed at by his friend earlier. At once Arga was a little surprised to find that the girl was Rhea. A smile immediately appeared on Arga's lips. He had not expected to meet Rhea at this cafe.
" Hey.you're wearing yellow. Let's get a duet!" Take Arga to the girl. Everyone in the cafe cheered, telling Rhea to go on stage to sing with Arga.
" Come! Comeing! Come on!"
The cry of everyone, made Rhea forced to stand up and approach Arga. But before that, Rhea did not forget to pinch Ara's arm hard so that her feelings of regret were channeled.
" Lo ya Ra!" Rhea said bitterly and left her two friends who chuckled amusedly.
When Rhea was in front of Arga, she immediately received a microphone from her upperclassman.
" What do you want to sing Rhee?" Tanya Arga was happy. Arga is very excited to be singing with Rhea.
" It's up to Arga!" Rhea pasrah.
Arga who did not waste the opportunity, immediately whispered a song that he really liked on Rhea. Rhea who also knew the song immediately nodded her head in agreement. The two of them immediately discussed briefly with the other band members to agree on their song choices.
" Okay, we'll both perform songs from Rizky febian and Ziva Magnolya - Terlukis Indah. Enjoy this song!"

(Argha)
Since I first met him
There are different flavors
(Rhea)
I looked at your face without hesitation
I started to blush
(Douet)
Oh this is the first love for self oh
No one will be able to replace
All these flavors on you
I began to feel love
Love that grows in every moment
I painted a true story
So that it doesn't end
Now we're together and we start everything
And convince both of our hearts
Oh this is the first love for self oh
No one will be able to replace
All these flavors on you
I began to feel love
Love that grows in every moment
I painted a true story
So that it doesn't end
I began to feel love
Love that grows in every moment
I painted all the real stories
So that it doesn't end
I'm sure you know
That you're everything
I also feel
Promise me (promise me)
Tuk forever (forever)
I began to feel love
Love that grows in every moment
I painted a true story
So that it doesn't end
All the stories are beautiful
You and I will always be together
And convince both of our hearts
All the stories are beautiful
You and I will always be together
And convince both of our hearts
Prokk...Prokk...Prokk...
A lively applause from everyone at the cafe welcomed the success of Arga and Rhea who performed the song perfectly.
But among those few people, there were three girls who were smiling mockingly towards Rhea. They recorded Rhea and Arga singing together earlier. They also took some photos showing the closeness of Rhea and Arga while they were both on stage.
" We'll see, Lo will fight with Gavin later!" A wicked grin appeared on the lips of one of the girls. She seems to hate Rhea. Not wanting to linger in the cafe, the girl immediately took her two friends away.
" Thank you Rhee." Arga smiled sincerely at Rhea as the two of them finished singing.
" Same brother. I'm going down first, brother." Rhea immediately stepped off the small stage for fear of being told to sing again. This is the first experience for Rhea singing in the cafe. So the girl was very nervous. Fortunately Rhea did not forget the lyrics and did not fake in singing.
Arga only nodded his head approving of Rhea's departure. He could not hold the girl. Arga could only see Rhea's passing back leaving her. She hopes that one day she will be able to sing back with Rhea.
