Uta & Alber [EN]
26. Too Perfect

The Alber POV

I pointed the steering wheel of the car through the solid road edging the capital up to Z1. Although patience was tested because it stuck, but somehow the mood felt bright, as bright as the sky this morning. I parked the black one under the shady tree, so that the sun would not be too hot to hit it. Turtle backpack to immediately rush down from the car.

A familiar figure came out of the parked car not far across the black guy, immediately grabbing my attention. The tie girl got out of the car with Edgar, one of our classmates.

There's really nothing weird about it. I also have no right to arrange, with anyone a tie girl wants to hang out. I don't know why my mood suddenly changed not as bright as it was. I decided to go to class immediately, coinciding with Reta running towards them.

"Morning Alber. Increase the spirit of the morning see the clear like this." Sapa Tasya with her distinctive tone plus shy smile and blushing cheeks.

"Morning." My answer was short, as I passed through it towards my seat. I took the earphones out of the bag and put them in both ears. I played a song that felt able to make my mood back good. I chose to sit while crossing my arms in front of my chest. Closing your eyes while enjoying music playing in your ears, while avoiding interacting with anyone at this time.

I felt a momentary movement at the table next to me, then calmed down. The tie girl had apparently already entered the classroom and was sitting in her chair. Apparently he did not take the initiative to harass me and chose to sit quietly. No conversation took place during the lesson.

The break bell rang, causing the class to instantly empty and leaving only myself and Uta. The girl took out 2 boxes from a special bag.

"Jeng jeng." He said with a cheerful expression and smiled at me. Hearing her voice that said something confidently, plus seeing her chubby face made the smile on my face expand without being held back. My mood also improved instantly. Lost already an indistinct upset feeling this morning.

"With the first day of Alber Syargan Farabaks." Open my lid with pride. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw her behavior. He then continued to put a cutlery and also a bottle of mineral water near me. Funny too, I feel like a Kindergarten student.

"Gee ... The visuals must be good." Chicken seasoning soy sauce, cauliflower and carrots, fried vermicelli, potato balado, 2 pieces fried tofu flour, chili onion and crackers. Everything seemed appetizing, to the point that I was confused about which one to start with.

"Pray first." He said, then immediately read the meal prayer solemnly. I followed him in prayer before eating.

"Thank you." I then said to Uta, because I haven't had time to thank her.

"same. Please eat it." The girl nodded her head slowly and prepared to start eating as well. I picked up a menu that caught my attention from the start. I bite the fried tofu flour that had called me to eat it immediately.

"Wow ... " I was really amazed by the sense of knowing that I tasted. I saw the tie girl, it turns out that she was eating the same fried tofu as me, but the difference is that she made the tofu with onion chili.

"So you know what name Ta is? Fried tofu?" I really want to know, because it looks like this is the top 3 best fried tofu I have ever tasted.

"More precisely know the guardian." The answer is to tell the right name.

"Please call the walik which means upside down, because the way to make out this guardian is indeed the way reversed. Tahu-based snacks typical of Banyuwangi, East Java. Usually the contents inside can vary. Some are filled with meatballs, meat, chicken, vegetables or a combination. Depending on who makes it, what you want to wear. Cobain in cocolin to sambal deh Ber, would have been better." I just practiced what the girl suggested. I'll whip the tofu I held onto Aunt Celine's onion sauce and eat it.

"Nake?" Uta asked curiously what I thought, after trying to fit her advice.

"Curried." I held up two thumbs which signified that, it felt really good. Replace him who chuckles amusedly.

"Whose departure was it?" The question I shot straight away, when the girl was still laughing.

"Edgar." His answer was brief in his laughter.

"Me on the street?" I ask again, try

scribbling information, how could they depart together.

"No. Edgar ngajakin's leaving with." The answer remains relaxed, this time while biting the shrimp crackers.

"You guys dating?" A question I was surprised to ask. Suddenly the series of question sentences came out of my mouth.

"WHAT??? Ha .. ha. You know this isn't the cutest thing I've ever heard." His face was wide for a split second, only then continued to laugh out loud.

"Kokak where is it? I really am Naanya Ta." I really don't understand where the 'snake' he mentioned.

"Well, Edgar was my best friend from childhood. We both signed from TK." Clearly, while slightly rubbing the tip of his eyes. He was really laughing out loud, even to the point of shedding a few tears.

"So if Edgar isn't your best friend, you're going out?" Ask me to respond back to Uta's previous words.

"Why? It seems like Edgar is the type that a lot of girls like." My comments were honest, judging Edgar from a point of view that fit reality.

"Even if Edgar wasn't my best friend, I still wouldn't. The reason for that was because he was too handsome. Too perfect." The girl answered me confused.

"Don't having a handsome guy the dream of all girls??" I said my opinion.

"Remh ... I used to think so too. But the experience made me self-conscious, handsome men are too unlikely to love women as much as I usually do. I'm the same Edgar, each other's not even on the radar like each other. Edgar has a girl he likes." Uta said lowered her head, while stirring up the food in her lunch box.

"Gue thinks you're just like Reta?" Still trying to confirm deliberately shifting the topic a bit. I can catch a little bit of sadness in the girl's speech.

"Yes, we were friends with three of us. I became friends with Edgar. I and Edgar met Reta when I entered Junior High School. From then on we were friends until now." His description explained how the three of them had been friends until this point.

"So you often go to school?" The real question I didn't want to ask him.

"Yes from before. Even Papa Edgar often shuttle me the same Edgar since Kindergarten." His reply recalled the old days that made me twist my brain a little.

"If Papa lo? Get you guys too?" I just want to be spontaneous.

"Ehm ... I'm busy, so I often can't pick me up." I realized that Uta's face had changed a little. But he tried to hide it so well that I could not read.

"BTW Aunty Celine's cooking is delicious. Crazy ... I am very proud of my decision to make catering supplies to nyokap lo." I decided to change the subject with the tie girl, so that the sad on her face disappeared. And succeeding, he laughed at my words for pride.

"To be honest, you were born and raised in Indonesia definitely not really?" He asked with both eyebrows almost fused together.

"Yes not dong. I was born and raised in Indo. Why don't you think that's true?" I really want to know, what is the reason he thought I was not really born and raised here.

"Yes the end lo kayaknya startled mulu, every time try delicious Indonesian cuisine. You were born and raised here, but never tried Indonesian cuisine at all?" Clearly, outlining the reason behind the question was. And I think that's why it's make sense.

"He .. he. This is all because Annem was a child in Turkey. Annem moved to Indonesia when he married Babam. So Annem used to eat and cook Turkish food. And Babam frees Annem so much with it." I explained to him.

"On the other hand Annem said, he wanted his children to hang out here in accordance with Indonesian culture but also did not forget the Turkish culture. Being at home I rarely eat Indonesian food. There are Turkish menus to keep Turkey feeling part of you." I went on to tell him the reason behind me knowing very little about Indonesian cuisine.

"Eat a lot, mister Alber." He said in a funny tone. He gave him to know his guardian, by putting that tofu on top of my stock. We both looked at each other for a moment, then laughed together. Take and give creates laughter.
