DISTURBING NEIGHBORS
16. Part Time Work

The scene that Neska had witnessed firsthand, made her realize that Rion did look similar to Cean. Only, all this time he had not paid much attention. It was only fitting that he felt that Rion's laughter felt so familiar, it turned out that the smile was indeed similar to that of the unsettling next-door neighbor.

"Geez, so Rion's sister, sister Cean?"

Neska still doesn't believe this. Although he had heard Cean say that his younger brother attended the same High School as him, but Neska never expected it to be Rion.

"Ocean, Orion. ah, bodo really didn't think until there." Neska patting jidat. But suddenly he also remembered Rion's confession to Cean some time ago.

"I like him, Brother."

Jeez, Neska immediately shook her head to disperse the thought of Rion's words. The young man who often irritated him admitted to liking him in front of his own brother?

But, Neska also thought about Cean's response to Rion's statement. Why does Cean sound unhappy about it.

"Don't date Neska."

Clear, right? If Cean's words are heard warning Rion not to date him.

Neska was dizzy thinking about it, not to mention about Karel who made her upset not being upset because of the young man's actions.

How will Neska face Karel and Rion later? Maybe on Karel he can make the limit from now on. But with Rion? It was true that they had never been close, but ever since hearing the young man's statement about liking him-Neska was afraid to look at Rion in a different way.

"Dis?"

Neska was aghast, someone knocked on the door of her apartment.

The girl got up and found Yola there.

"What's up, brother?"

"Ehm, Nes. Can you help me, right?"

"Let's go yuk, brother."

"No, it's urgent. You need extra money, right? I have a job for you tonight."

Neska was a little surprised to see Yola offering her a job. This is not usually, because most of Neska was offered additional jobs by Dena and Neska knew that Dena's work in the arrangement of the park, while Yola-Neska's work did not know it.

"What job, brother?" tanya Neska looked doubtful.

"Ah, yes, you don't know if I've been working in a cafe all this time?"

"The cafe?" Neska shook her head later. He looked flinched still feeling astonished.

"Gini, at my cafe there's another event tonight. It's Saturday night, usually the visitors are crowded again. Well, the usual temen one shift with me again can not come. You want to, Nes, change him?"

For a year to know Yola, this time Neska knew that her neighbor worked at a cafe, but why always leave at night?

"Why work, brother?"

"Not difficult, really. Just anterine drinks the same food, Nes."

"What time?"

"Jam 9 we're going there."

No, it's too late for Neska? Isn't that his bedtime? Neska is afraid of sleepiness at work.

"I'm sorry, Nes. I'm confused who else to find to replace those who don't get in this shift. Tomorrow's Sunday, you're off school so I'm thinking of inviting you. I don't want your meaning anyway, I also want you to focus on school used to not work nights like I gini."

"I really need money, brother." Neska doesn't deny that. He does need rupiah coffers for his life, even if he can also save to enter the University. "But I don't usually work nights, brother. I-i-"

"It's okay, Nes. If it's past 12 you can go home. Usually it's from 10 to 12."

"If you are going home at what time?"

"Ehm, if I get to morning, anyway." Yola grimaced at the end of her sentence.

Neska seemed to think for a while until she finally nodded in agreement.

...~~~...

At 9pm, after a few minutes, Yola and Neska got off the taxi they were riding in. Neska stared strangely at the building where Yola worked.

"This is my sister's workplace?"

Yola nodded. "Come, Nes. We're definitely looking forward to the others" he said.

Neska actually hesitated, but because it had arrived in front of the place that Yola said as the cafe, Neska finally followed Yola's steps innocently.

In Neska's heart upon entering the place, she felt foreign and unworthy to be there. Neska was plain, but she knew this was not just an ordinary cafe but a Bar and Lounge.

"Hi, Jo!" I heard Yola greeting a bartender there. She also appeared to sit in the stool bar.

The man called Jo looked at Yola and Neska alternately. "Who? New kid?" tanyakanya.

Yola invited Neska to sit next to her.

"Nes, this is Jonathan. He's a bartender here. Just me too."

Jo noticed Neska's appearance from top to bottom, she gave a small grin. "Jonathan, call Jo" he said.

Honestly, Neska actually regretted following Yola's invitation here, but she believed that Yola would not plunge her and give her a part-time job.

"Sister..." Neska called out to Yola with a feeling of being completely wrong. He wanted to go home before he started his job.

"Why, Nes? Weird, huh? It's a stranger to you, I know. But just calm down, I won't give you a job that's not here."

"But, brother."

Yola shook her head faintly and returned to Jo. They are now whispering because the sound of live music there has begun.

"Nes, you know, I've seen our new neighbor here."

"Sister, Brother Cean?"

"Hmm, yeah. A few times."

Neska looked at Yola in disbelief. Is it possible to play Cean in this kind of place.

"Chickens together. That's why yesterday you told him I wasn't interested. I think she's got a lot of girls."

"Ah, sister..." Neska grimaced to hear Yola's speech about Cean. Although he had seen firsthand the young man kissing his lover, Cean was unlikely to have many lovers. Is Cean a playboy? Not likely.

"Yes, Nes. But after I thought about it, there was no harm in knowing him. That's why yesterday I was just as beautiful trying to acquaintance. Turns out he's okay, all right."

Yola did not tell Neska about the Cean gelagat that was uncomfortable with her and Beautiful at that time.

When Neska was still late with thoughts about Cean, Yola again voiced. "Come, Nes!" he said moving inward.

Inevitably, Neska followed the woman again because she was afraid to target in a dimly lit bar room.

"Nes, here's the uniform. We're in at half ten. So, you get ready right now, yeah."

Neska looked at the clothes Yola meant as the work uniform. He rubbed his own neck.

"Sister, this is minimal." Neska said honestly, although the uniform was not open, but the skirt was very short and the shirt was very press body.

"I'm sorry, Nes. That's his uniform here. I also wear it. The job is just to take food to the table that ordered. It's so easy, really. It's okay, huh?"

Again Neska could only nod in doubt.

The hours Yola said had finally arrived. Neska felt her heart break when she saw her appearance in front of the mirror. He's not like himself.

Yola smiled looking at Neska who had changed into the uniform she had given.

"Here you go, you have to put on a little lipstick." And Yola immediately applied a fairly light-colored lipstick on the girl's thin lips.

"Sister, I'm not this ordinary."

"Tonight, Nes. But if later you need this job again, it's okay. This time you help me. Please..."

Neska could not refuse Yola's offer because she had been nice to her all this time.

"Now, we're out yuk."

Neska followed the steps of Yola who was accustomed to her work.

Within a few minutes, the waiting order was already plenty. Neska also introduced Yola to her other female friends.

"Well, Nes. This is you anterin food to that table."

Neska nodded, though she felt uneasy and awkward with the clothes she was now wearing. Neska hoped that no one would be able to recognize her in this kind of place.

Unfortunately, Neska's hopes did not materialize because that night she had to meet Cean there.

Is it true that Cean's brother comes here often?

Neska lowered her head, she was afraid Cean would notice her presence there. The young man was not seen with a girl or a woman. He was with some of his male friends who seemed to be important people. Or maybe Cean is at work too? Think Neska.

Neska hesitated to serve drinks at the table there. He's groggy. However he knew one of the young men sitting in the VVIP room and the young man was none other than Cean.

"Neska?" The shrill voice mengangetkan Neska, but she had tried to duck in order to disguise herself from Cean's vision.

Neska pretended not to push Cean there. He tried to work well.

"Nes, you work here?" Cean asked again. This time it looks more urgent. There was an angry flash in that netra hazel.

"I'm sorry, I have to get back to work." Neska stood up straight and prepared to leave.

"You know that girl, bro?" Marko who was sitting on Cean's side said, and it could still be heard in Neska's ears that had not fully moved.

Cean doesn't talk about Marko. He still can't believe Neska works in a place like this. All she knew was that Neska was a plain and innocent girl. Even Cean did not dare to think of Neska like most girls, without realizing if Cean was trying to keep Neska like his own little sister. But, what is this? What is he looking at now?
