"Bang Bayu?" Niken was surprised to find Bayu who was smiling and now stepped slowly towards him.
Since the rejection 2 years ago, the relationship between Bayu and Niken has been stretched. They never even met again and never exchanged news even if only through a short message or phone call. Niken never even went to photocopy Bayu when there is a task, Niken prefers to go to another photocopy. Nabila also never discussed Bayu in front of Niken and vice versa. But the relationship between Niken and Nabila is still good until now.
"Can't we be here?" asked Bayu once he stood in line before Niken.
Niken scratched his hair and stood awkwardly, "I work here brother, at the Salwa boutique."
"Wow cool," Bayu commented with eyes sparkling in amazement.
Being able to work in a Salwa boutique is not an easy matter, must have the talent to design qualified clothes that can be accepted as employees. Niken itself if there is no connection from Bude Dewi, it will be very difficult to be an employee there.
"Why is it here?" asked Niken, ignoring the astonished comments from Bayu.
"Again shopping needs shop. Where you going? How to walk alone?"
Niken glanced at the store that is currently the yard he incandescent, there is a large store that sells all kinds of ATK there. The Minimarket that Niken is heading to is right next to this store.
"You go to this minimarket Bang, there are needs that I want to buy," explained Niken while pointing to a moment minimarket destination.
"You want Abang temenin? It just so happened that I finished shopping." Niken was stunned for a moment to hear Bayu's offer.
"Hmm, don't you have a bang?" niken asked clumsy, however their relationship was arguably not good before. Niken actually wanted to refuse but Niken confused himself how to reject it.
"Aren't you alone or equally calm?" bayu asked as her eyes circulated, who knew there was a friend of Niken who was with her.
"I'm alone bang," said Niken stepped slowly into the minimarket and followed Bayu.
"What's up?" Niken tried to break the awkwardness between them because from the moment they entered the minimarket to start going around and choosing goods, there was no conversation at all between them.
Bayu looked at Niken and rubbed his neck. His eyes circulated did not dare to look directly at Niken's eyes.
"Good news. You how? Did you look at it for a long time?"
"I'm good," answered Niken briefly, not answering another question asked by Bayu.
"A long time working at Salwa's boutique?" asked Bayu who seemed to have started to behave normally, not showing awkward attitude anymore.
"Udah is about 3 months," replied Niken while including snacks in his shopping trolley.
They fell silent again. Confused about starting any more conversations. Maybe the effect of not meeting for a long time makes them like people who have just met for the first time.
After feeling all his needs are complete, Niken headed to the cashier, still with Bayu who faithfully followed his steps. Niken took out his wallet as soon as the cashier mentioned the nominal amount of his groceries but had not had time to spend money, there was an outstretched hand handed a magic card. Niken looked over and it turned out that Bayu did.
"Pay use this aja mbak."
"No need to use cash." Niken panicked and hurriedly pulled out a sheet of money from inside his wallet.
Bayu prevented and had a debate between them. Unbeknownst to them, the cashier's mother swiped Bayu's card to pay for all of Niken's groceries.
With a frown Riska stepped out of the minimarket and intended to order an online ojek to drive her home regardless of Aris who again still faithfully followed her steps.
Niken knew he should thank Bayu for paying for all his groceries but somehow his annoyance made his mouth shut to say thank you.
Niken was still focused on looking at the phone screen when Bayu suddenly took the groceries in Niken's hand and directly put in his car which was still parked in front of the ATK store right next to the minimarket.
"I'll take you home." Niken stupefied by Bayu's arbitrary attitude.
"Eh I went home on a motorcycle ride, aja bang," said Niken panicked and rushed to Bayu's car.
While Bayu himself has closed the back door of his car where Niken groceries are stored there and immediately opened the passenger door so that Niken can enter immediately. But instead of entering, Niken was silent in front of Bayu who was still holding the door handle.
"I went home on a jek aja bang," said Niken again with a soft and clear face.
"Suppose this is ojek. No need to pay, just save the money to pay additional costs or your other needs."
"Then send me your account number, let me change all the shopping money and the cost of this motorcycle." After saying that Niken directly entered the car leaving Bayu who had been silent for a moment and closed the door.
"No need to pay for the groceries, consider it for the expression of your joy because you can meet again with you," said Bayu shortly after he entered the car and used a sealbelt.
Niken turned to face Bayu, not understanding what he meant.
"You just want to see me it's actually an easy matter, you know my school, you know my home address, you stay come in. You will definitely meet me."
Replace Bayu who turned to face Niken after Niken said that sentence. He rubbed his nape while still trying to focus on facing the road.
"I'm ashamed to see you, not yet mentally prepared. Honestly, when you refuse Brother, Brother hopes we will never see you again and it turns out that Brother's prayer is obeyed."
Niken was silent to the speech of Bayu as well as Bayu who kept glancing at Niken because there was no response from the woman who had filled her heart since she first met in 2 years ago.
Niken remembered his crime when he rejected Bayu. Is the effect so severe that Bayu prayed that they would not meet again?
Bayu stopped his car right in front of the cost of Niken as soon as Niken gave instructions for the cost address. Niken had glanced at Bayu who blatantly noticed the boarding of Niken.
"Keep these costs?" ask Bayu in a doubtful tone.
"meaning?" Niken asked back because he really did not understand the purpose of Bayu's question.
"Not arbitrarily men can get into the cost, right?"
"Oh, no, this cost is specifically for women. If there are men who want to visit should wait outside, unless the new family can go inside," explained Niken amused himself with the question nyeleneh Bayu.
"Thank God that's it." Lega Bayu heard it.
Niken got off the car Bayu as well as Bayu who came down to take Niken's groceries and handed it to the owner.
"Abang never prayed to never see you again and Brother regretted that prayer because once the prayer was answered just that Brother was more and more longing for you," said Bayu suddenly while shuffling Niken's hair slowly and immediately entered the car leaving Niken dumbfounded.
