Love In The Midst of Hostility
Chapter 5 - Ice Capuccino

...༻⊚༺...

Just like Zafran, Lika was also made shocked by the presence of the man. He had not expected to meet Zafran at his favorite cafe.

After realizing each other, Lika and Zafran immediately threw away their faces. The feeling of anger is felt by both.

Zafran and Lika chose the silence. As sworn enemies, they had no interest in greeting at all.

The cappucino ice is done. The cafe waiter on duty immediately handed the drink to one of his customers.

Zafran took it first. But apparently, Lika did not accept. His hand had also grabbed the drink the waiter had offered. Zafran and Lika automatically exchanged sharp gazes.

"The first one! Why are you taking my drink?" timpal Zafran's. He held the drink he was holding.

"Have a son! I came first. Are you a guy anyway? Should've given it to dong chicks!" reply Lika. He tried to snatch the capuccino drink from Zafran's grasp. But the guy didn't let.

"Wear gender all over again! If it's elo, I'll never give up!" zafran hatch. He tightened his grip. Then pull stronger.

Lika tried to survive. He even used two hands to get what he wanted.

"Basin belagu!" Lika persisted.

"Lo is a doubt!" Zafran doesn't want to lose. Attraction also happens.

"Eh, Ma'am, Mas. This I've made again the ice capuccino." While Zafran and Lika were busy fighting over one drink, the cafe waiter had already finished making a second drink. He and the surrounding people were confused to witness the quarrel of Zafran and Lika.

The fight is getting more fierce. Neither Zafran nor Lika, no one was willing to budge. The two actually strengthen each other's grip to the glass with the contents of the capuccino.

Lika looked at Zafran's stern. His attire was glued towards the white uniform of the guy. Now Lika's evil intentions appear.

"Yes, I lost. Take the drink." Lika pushed the strong drink she had just defended. Until the drink spilled into the uniform Zafran.

"I'll take this one, Mom. This guy is very doubtful. Here's the money, take the change." Without any guilt, Lika just left. Leaving the stranded Zafran watching his uniform being spilled on ice capuccino.

"Tell me yes!" peekit Zafran's. Before Lika actually moved by car. He closed his mouth tightly with anger. This was already the second time Lika had spilled a drink onto Zafran's clothes.

"This, Mas. I've made drinks to replace spilled drinks." The benevolent cafe waitress made a new ice capuccino for Zafran.

"False, Mas. Nih! Take the change." Zafran took a new drink made by the cafe waiter. Just like Lika, she also left behind a hundred thousand dollars.

"Children of today on the rich yes. Gini every day," commented the cafe waiter to his partner.

...***...

Zafran is coming home sooner than usual. He took off his white uniform. Until now, he only wears white t-shirts.

Zafran sat down to the sofa. He immediately played with his device. He also occasionally siphoned off the ice capuccino he had bought.

"Geez, Zafran!" zara, Zafran's mother. He watched the son. How not? Zafran left his uniform on the floor. Put the original bag onto the sofa. Then sit down and put your feet on the table. She hasn't taken off her sneakers.

Zara approached Zafran. Then he grabbed his son's ear. He managed to make Zafran complain of pain.

"Aaa.. sick Mother!" lamented Zafran. He hurried to lower his feet from the table.

"Hurry to take a shower! I can just relax. Dirty clothes take it to the washing machine! Don't expect the same help Bi Ely continues!" zara's nagging while ruffled around her waist.

After putting dirty clothes into the washing machine, Zafran sat back down to the sofa on the back porch. He played his phone again. Zafran just checked Ramanda's latest status.

Zafran's heart grew increasingly upset, when he saw Ramanda's latest photo with Rian. They look friendly and happy.

"That's Ramanda's sister huh?" the delicate voice of a little child sounded from behind. He is the younger brother of Zafran who is often called Revita.

Zafran immediately hid the phone from Revita's vision. He looked seriously at Revita.

"When were you there?" ask Zafran.

"New aja. Zafran likes Ramanda's sister, right?" Revita.

"Diddeliver! Little pretentious kid wants to know." Zafran pinched Revita's chubby cheeks. His sister pouted at once. He doesn't like having his cheeks pinched. Especially by the brother.

"Sister can stop pinching my cheek, can't you? Later on add temhem to know!" muttered Revita while he was weaving a bitter mouth.

"Emang why add temhem? It's getting pretty." Instead of stopping, Zafran just back pinch Revita's cheek.

"Donahi..." Revita tried to remove Zafran's pinch. But the act even made the brother laugh. The little joke changed Zafran's mood for the better.

As time showed at seven o'clock in the evening, Zafran prepared for fencing exercises. He left, after finishing dinner.

"Zafran!" call Gamal who is Zafran's own biological father. His call made Zafran's footsteps stop.

"Why, Pah?" ask Zafran.

"You got a boyfriend?" Gamal took it seriously.

"No, Pah." Zafran replied calmly.

"What friends? Nobody's gonna play weird shit, right?" Gamal demands answers.

"Gosh, Pah. Every day I am always asked a question. Just calm down, I'm not going anywhere near drugs." Zafran explained quickly. Before Gamal could respond, he immediately said, "yes. I'll go to practice first."

Gamal grunts violently. He who was about to speak, undoes the intention. Because Zafran was gone.

"Udah, baby. You are now a bit excessive know not," said Zara while putting a serving of fruit salad.

"I don't want his school days to be as bleak as we used to be." hoped Gamal.

Zara smiled faintly. "No. I think we've taught Zafran a lot. Especially drug and sex-free. I'm sure our son will grow up to be a good man" he said, gently holding Gamal's shoulder. The husband nodded and smiled back.

On the other hand, Lika had just finished off the ice capuccino. It just so happened that Nadia and Chika gathered together to her house. They were lounging in Lika's room.

"You've seen Zafran's latest status?" chirps Nadia. Making Lika's eyes instantly swerve.

"Ngapain lo stalker that dagger guy anyway!" timpal Lika with a cynical look.

"Lo must see!" Nadia reveals Zafran's latest status. The guy showed off his fencing skills. Zafran is quite shrewd. He played his hand swiftly and swiftly.

"No interest!" Lika kept Nadia's phone out of front of her.

Nadia and Chika reflexively exchanged looks. They could never change Lika's perspective on Zafran.
