The After The Rain
Where's Girlfriend?

On Tuesdays, Orion is usually not too crowded because people tend not to come for two days in a row. People who come on Monday will usually come again on Wednesday or Thursday, as well as the following days.

However, this was not the case for Andanu and Astari. Arguably, the two humans have become VIP customers in Orion, because even though they just stopped by for a while and bought some menus to take home, they always come every day.

Even today though, when Kinara was not keeping watch behind the cashier table as usual.

Once not blind, he clearly knew that the reason Andanu diligently came to Orion was not because the young man liked the menu presented here, but for wanting to steal a glance at Kinara when the girl is cool at work.

"Kin does not work today," said Sekala while making Andanu's order.

"Yes, know. He said it, "Andanu replied casually.

Just some ooh ria, then continue his work.

While Astari, who was standing next to Andanu quietly stumbled into a smile as she found a hint of a flash of jealousy emanating from Sekala's eyes as the man talked about Kinara to Andanu. It was funny to see the two men of different ages secretly holding each other jealous and still trying to be ordinary, especially when in front of Kinara.

"Two Caramel Macchiato," Sekala handed over two cups of Caramel Macchiato to Andanu. "Aren't you bored with this message? Don't you want to change anything else?" he added, after Andanu grabbed the two cups he had handed over.

"I'm a typical loyal, Mas. So if you like one, yes it continues until the end." Andanu with a very pretentious style.

As she grieved, peeking at the young man even though what she got in response was a slight ruckus, which came not only from Andanu, but also from Astari.

"Tumben Nara off, is there a problem?" ask Astari.

Both Sekala and Andanu had no idea to whom the question was addressed, as Astari asked him while sucking up her Caramel Macchiato while her eyes were busy staring at the phone screen in her left hand.

Knowing that the question was not answered, Astari raised her head. Only to find Sekala and Andanu both staring at him question markingly.

"I'm going to you two. Anyone who knows, can answer." Astari explained.

For that, Sekala became the party that finally gave an answer. The answer he gave was not entirely honest.

"Nara's too tired because Orion was crowded all day, so I told her to take a break."

Astari mangosteen only. Accept that as something that makes sense. Another case with Andanu who even pelted Sekala with a probing gaze.

Sekala knew that he was being cared for as much as possible by Andanu, but he chose to pretend not to know until finally the young man was caught off guard himself.

"By the way, Mas Sekala there is no other work besides maintaining the cafe?"

Once again looking at Andanu, found the young man slightly singled out a smile that did not know what it meant.

"No. My only search eye is this." The relaxed answer, which Sekala knew did not match Andanu's expectations when he found the faint smile that the young man had been looking for suddenly vanished without a trace of silence.

"Nu, turn yuk. I'm gonna see a friend at seven."

Good, you should bring your annoying sister home as soon as possible. Sekala Inner.

Ah, not really cool, Astari. I still want to tease Sekala! Andanu follow closely.

Astari who could not read the contents of Andanu and Sekala's mind even relaxed just mooed first, making Andanu inevitably follow in his footsteps even though while grumbling.

"Wait!" andanu exclaimed, but Astari did not intend to slow down the swing of his steps at all.

Meanwhile, Sekala was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief when Andanu's annoying figure had completely disappeared from sight.

Time just suddenly went slower today, and Sekala was sure one of the reasons was Kinara's absence. Because, the chatty girl has been the biggest contributor of suata pollution in Orion since her first arrival more than a month ago.

Now it's only eight past six, it's still a long way from closing time and he has to be alone behind the counter because since an hour ago, no more customers came. It was as if Kinara's absence had affected so much to the number of customers coming.

Tuesday will not be as crowded as Monday or other days, but Orion has never been this lonely before. Where there are only four tables filled, occupied by nine visitors who will soon also leave.

"Mas Sekala,"

I looked back when Jeremy's voice was in the air. The young man knowingly was already standing beside the counter, throwing him a suspicious look.

"What?" the feeling is not good, to be honest.

"Where's Mas Sekala's girlfriend? How did you not get to work, anyway?"

Nah, kan. This sneer must have come only to tease him about yesterday's tragedy. Indeed, when he claimed to be Kinara's girlfriend in front of Atha yesterday, this jeremy shucks into the only witness because at that time he was peeking out from behind the kitchen door.

"I don't have a girlfriend," not yet anything, Sekala has been lazy first to serve Jeremy. So he pretends to be busy with his phone, trying to ignore the whereabouts of Jeremy who he knows still throws the same gaze at him.

"Ah, time? So what was yesterday?"

I swear, yes, Jeremy this if it's julid fashion, his mouth can be more sluggish than women.

Once deliberately not knowing, because he knew, anything that came out of his mouth would definitely be used well by Jeremy to launch another seductive action.

"This one, Mas Sekala. Here, look at me first," Jeremy suddenly snatched Sekala's phone, put it in the pocket of the back pants and then forced Sekala to pay attention to him.

And for God's sake, Sekala was eager to kick Jeremy's ass when the young man cosplayed himself while yesterday trying to free Kinara from Atha.

"Don't touch my girlfriend" said Jeremy, with the style and tone of voice made exactly as Sekala did yesterday.

Twisting the eyeball. His desire to kick Jeremy's buttocks grew stronger as the young man also mimicked his serious facial expression.

"So, since when did Mas Sekala go out with Kinara? How do I not know?" jeremy's eyebrows went up and down in a very annoying way.

"Stop, before you I kick it mentally to get to Mars." Threaten Sekala, but Jeremy is not at all afraid and even more tempting.

"It's okay, Mas. It's okay. Nothing if Mas Sekala same Kinara won do not want to publish your relationship. My son is trustworthy, Mom. My mouth is not a bucket."

Once throbbing when Jeremy moves his thumb and index finger stuck together in front of the mouth, making gestures as if he was closing the zipper.

"I'd rather believe that Albert Einstein was originally a Sundanese" Sekala sneered, and Jeremy just chuckled.

"What did you talk about, anyway? How's it gonna be so exciting?"

Sekala and Jeremy simultaneously turned to the source of the voice that had just been in the middle of their chatter.

In front of the counter, Kinara was already standing with an innocent look. His eyes twinkled, not at all looking like a girl who had been bullied by an ex-boyfriend the night before.

While Jeremy was smiling brightly because the figure he had been looking for had appeared since, Sekala instead snorted bitterly. A new problem, he thought.
