Two Men

Two Men
Mutually appreciate


The next day, right at lunchtime. Kania and Radit go to a cafe that still exists in the neighborhood around the building where they work.


Just walk to the left side for three minutes, they arrived. Glass tables are a good choice.


"Come on, sit down" Radit said.


Kania pulls up the chair. Sit down quietly. "Tumben ate together. What's up, huh?" Curiosity is haunting Kania.


Radit sat on the front bench. Smile a little, then say, "Eat first. Usually, they also often eat together. What else is fitting Aunty does not cook. You, right, eat it in my house."


Kania chuckles. "That's all different, Dit."


"Their?"


"That's, right, at home. If it's outside." Kania stared fixedly at Radit. "Don't you want to say something, yeah."


Radit swallowed his saliva. Really ... Kania's guess didn't dart. However, of course he cannot confess at the beginning. They must enjoy lunch first so that the stomach is filled and can affect the way the brain works.


"We're going out first, yeah. What do you want to eat?" tanya Radit turned the conversation. His right hand took out a menu list. Observe carefully. "Eating spagety is like orange juice is good."


For a moment Kania was silent. Radit's attitude is suspicious. Could this have something to do with what he heard? I don't know. What is clear, at this time his stomach needs to be silenced so as not to scream continuously.


The atmosphere of the cafe is so crowded. Many people come to lunch with friends, relatives, colleagues or family. 


Kania decided to choose the same menu with Radit. They love the same food from birth.


Waiting for the food to be finished. Radit and Kania talked about many things. 


"Oh, yes, I'm the same family that wants a vacation out of town this week" Kania added.


"Family vacation?" ask Radit.


Kania quickly nodded. "Yes." Yeah." The girl smiled wryly. "Here mulu, sumpek. Wanted to go to a cool place once in a while."


"You're going to your hometown?" 


"Yes. The plan, anyway, is that."


"Old?"


Like detectives, Radit keeps prying information.


"Yes, dong. Can be fired I've been a long time. Weekend is." Kania's face pouted.


Radit chuckles amusedly. Food arrived. 


Kania took a glass filled with orange juice, drew it slowly. "Somewith." The thirst disappeared immediately. 


"Enak, right?" ask Radit.


"Yes." Yeah."


"Yes, eat first."


"OKs. Bismillah."


Both raised their hands. Read prayers together, then eat food. The sense of spagety here is incredible. Moreover, the fuel is not stingy comparable to the price offered.


"Oh, yeah, Dit. I actually want to ask you something. But, finish the food." On the sidelines of eating Kania ventured. He didn't want to hold back on that. 


Radit. A second later answered. "Yes. I'll answer whatever your question is. Now, eat a lot of it so you don't get skinny."


Sontak Kania widened her eyes. "That's good for dry skin."


"Yes, yeah. That's a handsome Radit." Kania. He doesn't want to get involved with Radit.


They continued eating without speaking a word. Kania checks her cell phone. See some other friends' posts on social media. 


Many of his married friends even had children. However, many are still single like him. Because, getting married and having a career first is the choice of each individual. 


Dinner's done. Kania took the tissue in her blezer pocket. Swiping the leftover food at the tip of the right lip that makes Radit swallow.


"Astagfirullah," said Radit slowly.


Kania looked at Radit. "Why?"


"No." The man nodded quickly. He can't say this crazy thing. 


Kania dumped tissue on a used spagety plate. Now they begin to review the essence of lunch this time.


"Dit, I'd like to ask. What if you …." Kania hesitates. He was quiet for a moment. Convince yourself if this can't linger. "Move to Bandung?"


Radit's two eyeballs are perfectly rounded. Kania already knows. I don't know where the girl knew. Clearly, this matter must be resolved today as well.


"I didn't intentionally hear the conversation of two employees from your division," continued Kania so as not to misunderstand.


Radit took a breath. Throw it away slowly. Calm down to be ready for Kania's response. This explanation will be very time consuming and mental.


"Nia, that's true. But I was just offered. I don't accept it yet" Radit explained.


Kania's heart was turbulent. The news was real and not just bird news. He also has to start preparing. "Oh. Why not be accepted immediately? Kan, pretty. He said he could go straight up."


Along with that word. Kania's heart hurts. His chest is also tight. It's just, he also has to have a chest. Radit deserves his life.


It's true they've been together since childhood. Passing thousands of days with all the stories. It will hurt at first, but people's lives will continue to spin as time goes on. Likewise with closest friends or family. Therefore, do not make others a home. 


Radit looked back at Kania. There's a sense of unbearability. The girl in front of him looked like she was not okay. "I still doubt."


Kania put a smile on her face. Making his face as enthusiastic as possible welcomes this conversation. At least, it should not be discovered. "What makes you doubt? This offer may not have come twice."


"Indeed right. But .." Radit's hard to tell the real reason.


Kania checks the phone when the flat object sounds. Apparently a message from Desi who asked her position now. 


As fast as lightning Kania replied to the message. He should continue this conversation as soon as possible with Radit, as the hours of rest are running low.


"Don't think much. This is a golden opportunity for you. If I was, anyway. Accept it straight away. What else do you think you're trying?" Both of Kania's shoulders were raised. This casual reaction made Radit silent without a word.


"Are you going to accept that?" Radit asked back..


Their eyes meet. Kania turned her eyes the other way. Radit is very good at reading people's minds only through the eyes. Therefore, he was very afraid if he looked directly.


"Nothing makes you heavy or hesitant?" Radit kept asking questions. His nature is like that. Silence as insensitive. He was very attentive from a distance. 


The phone rings again. But the girl allowed it. He has trouble finding answers to Radit's questions.


"If you feel that way. I might as well follow. Indeed, I should just accept it," continued Radit after two minutes waiting for an answer.


Kania's mouth is locked. The sentence neatly arranged in the mind suddenly collapsed. He wants to ban, but respecting the decision of friends is the wisest thing.


Kania's lips carved out a small smile. "Well, that's dong. Don't throw it away as a good opportunity. Passion, Raditku!" 


The words of encouragement Kania included. He should support whatever his friend's decision is.
