TWILIGHT
Chapter 9 "Capturing Attention"

Honestly, I was so happy to be between Mayang and her father, I felt like I had a family again, like that time. But I don't want to add to them. Until whenever, I shall not forget their services.

This morning I decided to go to my school, after yesterday I could not go to school. When we got to school, everything looked different. This time there were a lot of students outside the classroom.

As usual, it's just the one I'm looking for, yes it's Nala. I spread my gaze among the crowd of students, I searched for a moment, but I had not found it. I tried to find again, I went to the place we used to meet, but I still haven't found it.

I kept walking through the crowd of students, and I started to see the beautiful unraveling black hair. I know the owner of the hair. Beauty is like a magnet, which attracts all eyes to look at it. Again this is my favorite part, staring at him from behind. I kept quiet and waited for him to look at me and greet me.

I saw him this time very busy, surrounded by his friends far more than usual. Maybe because he is more famous now.

I am still loyal to his smile, a smile that always goes hand in hand with every word he says. I don't want to share this story with others, I will always keep it and enough I know if I really admire you this deep.

I had been standing behind him for a long time, finally the time I was waiting for arrived at the very last moment. He greeted me, said my name, and now ran towards me. Seeing him running towards me, wanting my shutter to spread out his hand and welcome him came with a hug. But it just happened to my imagination.

"Good morning Java, you really see you enter today" said Nala with a sweet smile.

"Se... Good morning Nala. It's so beautiful today." I said the wrong way.

"Hahahah funny also use my language you Wa."

"I'm really, really good, but it's awful."

The bell rings to separate us. He also left with a smile and a wave of hands that will always succeed in being the intake of vitamins that encourage my life.

****************

After school Awan also waited for Nala in front of his class, to do the routine they usually do, which is to go home together. Nala dropped out of her class while using her smartphone.

"Wow, the new hp" said Awan realized Nala who walked by continuing to stare at his smartphone.

"Java, you're here. Iani hp work, starting today my work at start Wa."

"Oh that, the spirit of Nal. Show me your best performance."

"But I'm sad. I can't go to concert with you anymore. In addition to the guitar you have already excited, right Wa? How if I know Lo to brother Nico, your voice is very good Wa. Let us work together again and not be separated."

"Don't worry you, Nal, the work of the belly starts to bring people. It's Nal, just focus on the project you are currently. I dapet work at the cafe where his father Mayang works, he said there accept part time. And I also say goodbye to her father and her, to live in my own home. So I don't live in Mayang's house anymore."

"Wow, cafe? Sing Wa?"

"I don't know, but certainly the waiter. You usually part time as a waiter or stay in the kitchen."

"Oh that, thank you. The power is bright again driver brother Nico dateng Wa. Later I can buy nitip ice cendol in front of the school for mamah. That was mesen him. While I don't like to go home first, because kak Nico deliberately wants me to wear school uniforms for the needs of youtube content he."

"OK, Nal. I set it to mama. Lo ati-ati yeah, take care of yourself."

"Ok dear 😉"

"To... Please hold me Nal."

"eeehh... Why Wa? You're all right?"

"Please let me fly in the call, baby."

Nala did not answer anything just pushing the Cloud's head with her fingertips.

"Bye Java 😉" said Nala then blinked one eye towards the Clouds.

"kawaiiii 🫰" said Cloud.

Nala leaves with Nico's pickup car. As the message by Nala, Awan bought ice cendol favorite mother Ratih, mother of Nala. After buying it, Awan walked to the House of Nala which is not too far, about 25 minutes walk.

Clouds buy ice cendol Nala's crease without ice cubes, because that's Nala's habit. So that the ice does not melt on the way, and will remain sweet when served. As for ice cubes, it happens that Ratih's mother sells them at home, so it does not need ice from a regular sandalwood.

Arriving at Nala's residence, Awan gave Nala's order, which was Ratih's mother's favorite cendol drink.

"Oh my goodness, son, so take care of you" said Mrs Ratih.

"Ah ga papa ma'am, I happened to go home also through here. Nala wanted to have a shoot already picked up with the driver, sister Nico." replied Awan.

"He also said mom, he said he went home from school to be picked up. I hope everything goes well."

"It's a smoke, son, oh it's in here first. Temenin used to naufal ngerjain tuh task, from that urgency was not clear."

"Oh, ma'am, I help you to relax."

Shortly after the Clouds entered the house of Ratih's mother, suddenly the neighbors who had noticed the talk of Ratih's mother and the Clouds approached.

"Mom, Mrs Ratih... Ko is still the same Nala deket bums kid anyway? Soon enough, my mother's son has become an artist, it can affect the career of Nala loh ma'am. What if Awan just be banlu, benefits Nala doang bu. Nala has also started to have to be picky temen ma'am." Said Ratih's mother's neighbor who was very fond of gossiping.

"Hopefully that in the words of mothers is not true, because the clouds are good children ko bu. Thank you mom for worrying about my son." replied Ratih's mother briefly.

"Mother Ratih see only later, surely the kingpin will benefit the fame of Nala bu, yes yes ma'am, we just want peringtin bu Ratih Aja, we just want to peringtin, if there are street children, there is a real mother." said the mothers and left Ratih's mother.

Ratih's mother was only able to let out a long sigh hearing her neighbor's cutout about the Clouds. It even makes him more compassionate with the Clouds who live alone in this very hard capital.

"Mom, I've finished helping Naufal's task, now I say go home first ma'am. If you can ask for prayers, I want to try working part time at the cafe that deket terminal. Later salamin aja for Nala yes ma'am if he has come home" said Awan who immediately say goodbye because he has finished helping the school work of the sister of Nala.

"Oh yes, the domain mother hopefully your work is smooth, son, must remain careful and keep the spirit yes" said Ratih's mother sincerely.

"Thank you ma'am, the Clouds are saying goodbye" said the Clouds with teary eyes as she was delighted to receive prayers and advice from a mother

although not his birth mother, but Awan was able to imagine if he had a mother, would certainly do the same to him. Support him in every positive thing he does, and advise him when he makes a mistake.

...----------------...

Arriving at the cafe Awan met with the father of Mayang. It had a name on his chest that read Yadi.

"Oh you came. Let's get to know the father's superior." said Mr. Yadi.

"Good sir."

The clouds looked around the cafe. Even during the day, the cafe is very crowded. Many visited by teenagers, school children, students, even office employees who are in a meeting or just relaxing.

Arriving at the cafe manager room, Mr. Yadi introduced Awan to his superiors. Awan also introduced himself and explained his purpose to work in this cafe.

In because the cafe is currently full of customers, the manager was happy with the presence of Awan to be able to help work in the cafe.

"It just so happens that today the cafe is full again. You can help here. For what work you have to do, you can directly ask Yadi" said the manager of the cafe

"Okay sir, thank you very much sir" said Awan excitedly.

The clouds went to the kitchen to meet Mr. Yadi, to get his first assignment.

"Where?" ask Yadi.

"I was accepted sir, and can help immediately" replied Awan with a big smile.

"Thank God, now you can help clean the empty table, bring all the dirty dishes and glasses there to the back for washing. Do not forget you are acquaintances with other employees yes." said Mr. Yadi who was happy.

"Ok, ready pa. Thank you, father, again please me."

"Oh yeah, a real job."

"Ready."

...****************...

It was my first day working in a cafe. I also got acquainted with the other employees who were there, everything seemed friendly and kind. When I was cleaning one table, a familiar voice came to me. A beautiful voice I often hear.

I stared at a large LCD screen, apparently the operator was regretting the live broadcast of cha el youtube Nicolas Jeremy. I saw my loved ones there and I was singing a song with Nico.

I didn't notice Nico singing either. I just looked straight at Nala. He was always able to take away my services. And this time, you she looks even more beautiful. I woke up from my daydreams, then continued my work. Maybe this will be a warm-up for me. Working with her voice, even though I know she doesn't sing to me, but I say thank you.

...****************...

All the cafe goers were stunned to hear and see Nala and Nico singing. Some were amazed by Nala's voice, some were amazed by her beauty. In one time appearing on Nico's youtube channel, Nala managed to become a trending topic and increase the number of viewers and subscribers to Nico's youtube channel.

What attracts the attention of netizens is Nico's attitude to Nala which seems so sweet to them.

Seriate...
