Midnight Chat
Hara took a piece of teok and put it in her mouth. Seen the look of a face full of hope from Arin, it feels unbearable to see the gaze, like a puppy who is asking the owner.
“How does it feel? Not good yeah ..?” ask Arin.
“Enak ... this is delicious,” Haru said while giving a smile, because the cooking that Arin made is not bad. Haru can not say this cuisine is delicious, because he does not like food like this, maybe because his tongue is 100 percent Indonesian so see it does not fit.
“It looks like it could be well ..” said Arin immediately moody, he realized if Haru seemed too forced himself to not be able to lie.
“Ngak. It's pretty good. I've never eaten anything like this, so I'm not used to it. But it's really delicious, I like it spicy, just as much,” said Haru trying to straighten out misunderstandings of women who seem to have lost confidence because of him.
“Neaseless need to be explained. I'm not forcing it. Next time I will make the food you like, so consider it a trial ... heheh” said Arin while chuckling.
Haru was speechless as he stared at the tudeh towards Arin who seemed to be enjoying his food very much. So how hard he let the woman who has been hard-earned to make a snack night until her legs cramp because waiting for him. Haru did not want to break the spirit of that sweet-faced woman. He immediately reflected back on tteokbokki in his plate.
“Do not be forced ..” said Arin who was a little worried to see Haru who took so much, even though he really did not feel hurt. It could have happened, if Haru did not like the food.
“Ngak. I like it because it's made by you. Whether it's good or not, I want to eat it. So let it go. This is the name of ethics to food,” said Haru.
Hearing this made Arin's heart touched. Haru was really trying to appreciate the food he had made without giving any criticism. They eat together. On the sidelines of the meal, Haru was still sensitive by pouring cola into a glass of Arin that was dirty or giving tissue when Arin accidentally dirty his mouth.
“Ah .. I almost forgot. Actually, tomorrow's the cut, my company's having a new app launch party. If you don't mind, will you come with me?” ask Haru.
“Pesta ..?”
The word that made Arin go silent for a moment. He who really does not like many people if he hears it is definitely trying to avoid it. But if he refused it is very illogical because he who will be the future wife of the owner of the company did not come, it feels a little inappropriate.
“I won't force you to come. At first I didn't want to tell you about this for fear of burdening you, but if you hear this from someone else it feels a bit ..” said Haru who was confused to continue his sentence.
“I'll try ...” said Arin with a bit of determination.
“You sure? There will be many, journalists, people, cameras and loud music ..” said Haru worried.
“Just for a moment there will be no problem. I'm coming! But the problem is, I do not have a dress that is suitable to come to the party and do not know what kind of dress is suitable to come to such an event. This is the first time for me,” said Arin a little embarrassed.
“If you don't have to worry, let me take care of it. But you sure you want to come?” ask Haru again because he still does not believe in Arin's decision.
“Nothing. I think I'll be okay. Yeah .. I don't like crowded places. But sometimes there are times when I can be fine in a crowd, but sometimes there are times when I'm really not okay. I can control myself, so no need to worry ..”, said Arin trying to give a little explanation about his condition.
“Alright .. I believe.” said Haru.
“So you waited since when? Why don't you call me?” tanya Haru again started the topic of conversation.
“Emm .. half an hour.” said Arin a little doubtful.
“Pick up your leg cramp, next time you call me or send a message. I sometimes like overtime at the office and the time is uncertain,” said Haru.
“Had also wanted to call, but was afraid to interrupt. That's why I'm waiting for you .. hehe ..” Arin said with a small laugh, laughing at his own behavior. “But ... You like what snacks?” ask Haru.
“Emm .. I rarely snack. If I don't eat, I go to sleep. It's the first time I've had a midnight snack ... but it's exciting as well.” Haru said.
“Ya ‘kan? but not good for the body. What is the meal like ..”
“Emm .. if you don't mind, can you make me empek-empek?” ask Haru.
“Oh!! I can do that!!”
“Serious ...?”
“Emm ... later I will make yes ..”.
“Then I thank you ..” said Haru.
A warm conversation between two people who have different personalities and mindsets can chat well. They fill each other's emptiness, making their relationship closer without being noticed by the two.

Haru prepares to go to work. Not forgetting he took his car — walk to the door after wearing shoes — open the door of his apartment. While stepping his feet out, Haru was silent for a few seconds when he saw a paper bag hanging on his door confectionary. Then Haru immediately took it — turned right to left to see who put this, but there was no one there. A note was placed in front of the door.
| I don't know if you like it or not. I made you a sandwich. Make breakfast. I also made a hot americano with separate sugars. Spirit working!! -Arin-Arin-
Haru immediately smiled widely after knowing that this was a gift from Arin. I don't know when he put this down. Even the coffee still feels hot, certainly arin has not long put it. Pleasure mixed should see the attention that Arin gave to him.
“Build what time he was, until make a sandwich.Imut ..” said Haru who returned a smile when removing the sandwich that looked so neat as he bought at the bakery.
Then Haru walked away to the office feeling excited and excited thanks to Arin. Haru eats the breakfast that Arin made for her while driving and listening to the radio. A morning that will never be forgotten. Haru was so good to enjoy the sandwich which was full of vegetables and tuna mayonnaise.
“Emm ... great too ..” said Haru.
