After Dark's
Second Meeting (First Part)

Ms. Tina has already noticed me from a distance. I ran very fast, with breath gasping holding tightly onto Ms. Tina's hand.

"Why Lulu? Who's chasing you? You followed people? (Mom Tina flipped through my body)" Panic mom Tina

"Nothing happened, Mom. I was just in a hurry (took the fried banana on the table and then bit it)" I replied indifferently

Bu Tina frowned, then asked

"where are you going?"

"Aakk.ku has an appointment with Mimi ma'am" I said as I ran to the room.

"Mimi's? Mimi was that time?" ask Bu Tina with a loud tone.

"yes, ma'am." answered loudly.

I told Ms. Tina earlier that I had friends at my part-time job. Because of Tina's curiosity, she asked me to take Mimi to kosan.

Over the past 3 months, Mimi has visited Tina 4 times. Miss Tina really likes Mimi. According to Tina's mother, Mimi was a jolly child. Can communicate well and easily get along wherever he is. So, the point is that Mimi's nature is the opposite of mine.

I opened the closet, picked out the clothes for me to wear tonight.

Ping....

When choosing clothes, my phone shook. I checked whatsapp notifications coming in. Whatsapp by Mimi. I read it, Mimi told me not to wear dark-colored clothes.

I stood looking at my whole closet. Inside it only consists of 3 colors of clothes. From the right end is black, then the middle is navy, and on the left is brown. I fell silent, then scratched my head.

I have no clothes other than dark.

"Why is there no red?" I'm in my heart

I shake my head repeatedly.

"I don't like wearing flashy colored clothes. Isn't this navy-colored outfit pretty good?" say me.

I stood in front of the glass, trying on one shirt at a time. Then my phone shook back. From a distance I saw whatsapp notif from Mimi.

"Wearing a pink dress at that time" said whatsapp Mimi

"The pink dress? do I have a dress?" lirihku while thinking.

I took out all the contents in my closet, there was not a single pink dress. Suddenly I remembered that Mimi bought me a dress from the first salary she got. Mimi gave me this dress as a gift for me.

But I forgot where I put it. I look for her in every box of clothes I have. However, not met. I'm trying to think back to where I put the dress.

While biting my finger, I remembered it. I lowered the cover on top of the closet. I put the dress on the cover.

A long pink dress with a simple design sprinkled with a little glittering white gem beads.

My mouth was open looking at the dress, and my forehead was slightly wrinkled.

"Do I have to wear this?" say it out loud

I put the dress back in the box and closed it.

Hatari Cafe, though,

At 19:30 wib.

Mimi and Jason had arrived at the cafe first. Mimi whatsapp I told me to hurry up.

I read whatsapp Mimi in a taxi, the distance from the cafe is quite far. Mimi offered to pick me up, but I said no need. I'll take a taxi there.

While waiting for me at the cafe, Mimi told Jason about myself. It made Jason have a little bit of sympathy for me.

"It's a shame you have to keep smiling with Lulu" Mimi said, holding Jason's hand

Jason blinked his eyes.

I spent 20 minutes at the cafe. I whatsapp Mimi asked where she was waiting for me.

After receiving whatsapp reply from Mimi, I rushed towards there. I climbed the stairs one by one, looking around the flickering lights.

"Very beautiful, like a star" I said in my heart with a smile.

I saw Mimi sitting in the corner of the wall. Mimipun saw me, waved to me.

"Dear my beloved sister came, do not forget you can not be careless with her" said Mimi

Mimi held onto Jason's hand, telling him to stand up to welcome me.

My smile is so wide, I can't wait to see the person Mimi loves so much. Mimi told me a lot about her boyfriend. Told me everything.

Jason turned his body around.

I looked into his eyes, Jason's eyes were also staring at me.

This feeling frightened me, my eyes began to glaze over. I couldn't move my legs.

Mimi kept smiling, my body started shaking.

looks like Mimi said something, but I didn't hear it. I just saw from Mimi's lips.

Mimi walked up to me, clasped my hand,

"why silence? come sit down" said Mimi

As Mimi's hand clasped me, my feelings became even more uneasy. Mimi took me to sit.

Mimi always smiles, SHE SMILES AT ME!!!

"I finally got to meet the two people I love" Mimi said

Mimi looked at me, moving an eyebrow, telling me to shake hands with her.

I dare not look at him,

"Darling, I said you should always smile with Lulu. Don't be so silly. Lulu's my only sister (Mimi hugs me)" Mimi smiled.

I ventured to look at him, greet him then extend a hand to shake hands.

She's staring...

His name is Jason, JASON WILLIAM. An older brother who came to my house 3 years ago. The older brother who was engaged to me.

The look in his eyes was still the same, a cold gaze filled with anger.

Jason didn't return my greeting. Jason sat down and stirred the cold latte he was drinking.

Mimi's face looks sprained, mimi talks to me.

"Don't worry, you know he's always like that" Mimi said

Jason looked at Mimi, his gaze different from the one he looked at me.

Those eyes look very warm. Jason moved his lips,

"We order this? don't you like this?" Jason asked, looking at Mimi

Mimi didn't speak a bit. Jason drew the chair closer to Mimi, then clasped Mimi's hand.

I'm watching them.

"I'm sorry, baby" Jason said.

Somehow seeing and hearing Jason say to Mimi made my heart ache.

"You said hello to my sister, and I'm sorry for you!" say firmly Mimi.

Jason shifted his eyes.

"Shake hands with him?" loud speech Jason

I lowered my head, though,

"Don't you love me?" Ask Mimi while playing Jason's hand

In a soft tone of voice, Jason said

"I love you" while gently touching Mimi's nose.

"that's it, salaman"

Mimi started smiling broadly back.

Jason's affection for Mimi makes Jason's heart willing to do anything for Mimi. Jason stretched out his hand to me. And said,

"Jason, hello" Jason said

I think Jason wanted me to not mention anything about our engagement to Mimi.

After shaking hands, Mimi offered my favorite latte.

"So I ordered Lattenya all. Your favorite drink is like Jason. So it's not complicated to decide what to order" Mimi laughed

Jason refuted Mimi's words.

"From today you don't buy me a Latte anymore. I prefer your strawberry juice" Jason said

Jason called the waiter, asked for a drink menu and ordered all kinds of juices available. Giving his Latten to the waiter to throw away, Jason takes Mimi's juice and drinks it.

Mimi said to me, Jason tonight is very strange. Mimi whispered to me,

"From the time he liked Latte. Now even say he doesn't like Latte anymore. You know if he doesn't drink Latte one day, his work won't be done" Mimi said.

Hearing Mimi's words, I know why Jason changed his favorite drink because of what.

It's because of me, he doesn't want the same things that I love. Even if it's very in his tribe, then he'll stop liking it. More precisely because he hates me.

He used to hate me, now he hates me, and he hates me.
