The After The Rain
About The Flamboyant Tree

After telling Papa and Mama about him being accepted to work part time at Orion Cafe and convincing both parents that his work will not interfere with the lecture schedule, he said, Kinara moved into the room.

Tonight, Lestari did not stay over because Sinta was taking a day off. The woman said she would take time off several times a month, just to make sure Lestari could sleep soundly on her simple mattress at least a few nights a month.

It was only nine o'clock past six, either because his mood was too good that he felt so fit and not sleepy, or indeed his body had not given a signal for him to rest.

Clearly, rather than forcing herself to lie on the bed and end up restless because she could not close her eyes, Kinara walked towards her study table.

In fact, there was no task that he had to complete because all the tasks given by some teaching lecturers he had completed in advance. Luckily he had a habit of completing the tasks he had long before the deadline so that he could now relax.

Because if he is not used to doing things at the beginning of time, he may still have to do those tasks while crying.

"What's up, huh?" he murmured to himself after sitting on the chair. The study lamp is still not on, the laptop in front is also not opened because he has not decided to do what tonight.

"Kepo-in Mas Kala times, huh? Curious too, how do people like it if on social media. Count to find out how to deal with him at work, right?" ask yourself, answer yourself.

No wonder Kinara is. And he's sure he's not alone. In this world, there must be people who also like to throw questions to themselves, as well as prepare the answer.

What she was going to do tonight was already decided, so Kinara opened her laptop in a slow motion and immediately pressed the power button.

After the laptop turned on, Kinara then opened her Instagram account that she had logged in there permanently, no longer she logged out after finishing using her laptop. Because, for some reason, he's so lazy to play with his phone right now.

Before going to the search field to type in Sekala's name, Kinara first took the time to scroll down, just looking at the uploads of the people she followed.

At first, Kinara was about to turn to the search field when she did not find a post that caught her attention enough.

Until finally, he saw one upload from his favorite account, @dyellow. The account posted a photo of a familiar Flamboyant tree, a Flamboyant tree in front of the Orion Cafe. Judging by the time, the photo was uploaded about three hours ago, it meant that it wasn't too long after he got home.

If Kinara would press the heart button immediately and leave a trail of comments in each post @dyellow made, this time he instead went to profile @dyellow, only to send him a direct message.

Hi. .. been a while since you uploaded the last picture of the beautiful sky.

That's what he wrote there. Then, because the message had not been answered after two minutes had passed, Kinara sent one more message.

I just saw your latest post. That's kinda beautiful Flamboyan tree. I mean .. I just want to ask, the Flamboyant tree you took pictures of, where is it?

Three minutes passed, still no reply from @dyellow. The person also does not appear to be active. However, Kinara was still sabr waiting.

While waiting for a reply from @dyellow, Kinara went to the search field to continue his pending intentions. There, he immediately typed Sekala's name.

There are some results that appear on this search. Kinara clicked one by one the existing accounts to ascertain whether the account belonged to the Sekala he meant.

But unfortunately, of the many accounts he checked, none belonged to Sekala. Even though there are several accounts locked, but Kinara can still know that the account does not belong to Sekala which he meant through the profile photo installed there.

"Yes, Mas Kala doesn't have a sosmed account, anyway?" monologue again.

Search results with the name Sekala on Twitter and TikTok turned out to be more than those on Instagram. That made Kinara need more time to visit one by one the accounts he found there.

But, already half an hour he struggled, still did not find an account belonging to Sekala.

"Crazy, really do not use sosmed? Masa, anyway? But, right, he's the owner of a cafe that hits the most in the elite campus area, it's weird that he really doesn't play sosmed." Kinara grumbled a little, somewhat not accepting the fact that she had trouble finding Sekala's account on various social media that she had.

"Or don't-don't .. use an alias name?" a new conjecture emerged after a long time of silence.

"Well, if that's the case, it's hard." Kinara let out a disappointed bellow, her shoulders slumped dramatically and she had already completely lost the spirit to continue her search.

Suddenly, a notification came from his laptop. Kinara who was originally about to lean her head on the table unraveled her intentions. His shoulder was re-enforced, and he immediately opened the notification of the message he had just entered.

There were a total of two messages, all from @dyellow. Kinara was clearly sumringah, because it was indeed the reply to that message that he had been waiting for since. His disappointment at not being able to find Sekala's account disappeared after he seriously read a reply to a message from @dyellow.

The first reply reads :

Hi, I'm also waiting for you to post a new photo, but nothing.

And here is the second answer :

Beautiful, huh? The tree grew in front of a cafe, called Cafe Orion. Coincidentally I often go there, and the Flamboyannya tree is indeed as beautiful as that, so I continue to upload photos.

Kinara also typed in a reply.

*I don't really like to post something on social media, so the posts on my account are only a few.

Orion Cafe? I also happened to go there a few times. The tree is that pretty, hehe*.

It didn't take as long as the previous one, this time @dyellow replied quickly.

Ah, I just remembered. You've also posted photos of Flamboyant trees, haven't you?

Kinara smiled reading the reply to the message. Finally, @dyellow remembered that he had uploaded the same photo.

*Yep, and it was a same tree.

Oh, really? I don't mention it*.

The photo angle is very different, it is natural that you do not realize that it was a same tree.

Replies after replies keep popping up. Random chatter via social media continues until midnight, until both of them forget that tomorrow is still long and there are a lot of storms that they still have to pass.
