Restaurant

"Let's go" said Rain

"Come on!" Gevan replied enthusiastically

Gevan immediately drove his car towards the restaurant they were going to this time

10 minutes later

They arrived at the Taliwang Bali restaurant in Grand Indonesia Mall

Both of them got out of the car and entered the Taliwang Bali restaurant

Arriving at the dining table they sat opposite each other

looking at each other…

"Beautiful, what do you want to eat?"

"What's up"

"Whatever is not the answer Beauty"

"So?"

"Here, look at the delicious menu, just show me, right?" Gevan answered casually

"Where to see?" Rain answered soberly

"Here" Gevan said handing me the menu book

Rain took it and skimmed it, then she mentioned the menu that made her very curious about the dish,

"I want to order Sasak Chicken Rice and Avocado Kuwut Ice, what do you want to order for Gevan?" asked Rain glancing at Gevan

"Me?... Hm, what is it? I'm also confused" Gevan replied, turning his head while thinking, it was very clear that he was thinking and a little confused

"I'll have Betutu Chicken Rice and Bali Kintamani Ice Coffee, if that's the case," Gevan answered decidedly

"Okay, then Gevan will order or should I?" asked Rain volunteered

"Only me." answered Gevan briefly. He stood up from his seat and headed to the ordering area

Arriving at the cashier, Gevan opened his voice in a friendly manner

"Ma'am, I would like to order 1 portion of Sasak Chicken Rice, 1 portion of Betutu Chicken Rice, 1 portion of Kuwut Avocado Ice, and 1 portion of Bali Kintamani Ice Coffee Ma'am"

"That's it? Is there anything else?" asked the friendly woman

"Enough for a while Ma'am," Gevan answered slowly and kindly

"The total is Rp. 198,000.00 Sir," said the cashier guard

"Okay ma'am" Gevan replied friendly, Gevan immediately reached into his wallet in his trouser pocket and paid the bill by taking 2 one hundred thousand bills

"This is Ma'am," said Gevan handing over 2 hundred thousand in cash

"Here's the change, sir. Orders can be waited on at the customer's table, sir," answered the mother kindly

"Okay ma'am" Gevan replied friendly then turned to the table where Rainnya was sitting

Gevan walked hastily towards where Rain sat

Arriving at the table where Rain was sitting, Gevam sat his buttocks smoothly on the chair

"Hey, beautiful"

Rain looked down and didn't look back at all, she thought it wasn't Gevan, she thought it was a flirty boy who was teasing her.

"Hey beauty, why don't you want to be called?"

Silence no answer

"Rain is beautiful," said Gevan slowly

Rain turned her head and raised her head to find Gevan already sitting in front of her and smiling sweetly. Rain spoke up

"Oh, you Gevan, who do I think" Rain said relieved that it was Gevan and not someone else

"Who do you think?"

"Someone else. Not you Gevan"

"How can you think that"

"Your voice"

"What's wrong with my voice? Something wrong?"

"Your voice is different, not like the Gevan I know"

"How do I sound?"

"Like a pervert uncle who seduces high school kids," Rain answered, laughing

"Wow, seriously? Does that mean I have talent?"

"Huh talent? What talent?" asked Rain confused

"I've got a talent for teasing you! What other talents?" Gevan asked raising and lowering his eyebrows with a smile. It was nothing because this was the first time he saw Rain laughing after that in front of him, there was a special feeling of happiness in his heart to be able to make Rain laugh like that. From the way Rain laughed he already knew that Rain was very lonely, his laugh was full of deep wounds and the way Rain laughed was very different. It was very visible that Rain was so lonely, he didn't have friends and didn't trust the people around him. Could this all be because of Arkan's absence at Rain's side? If it's true that this is all because of Arkan, then Gevan is willing to become Arkan's shadow and always accompanies Rain in every breath so that Rain is not lonely anymore.

"How come you have the talent to tease me?" Rain replied blushing, her cheeks were starting to blush

"Then who are i teasing?"

"Whoever is important is not me" Rain answered slowly

"Hmm okay" he replied casually

"But it was really Gevan, it didn't sound like you know, that's why I didn't turn around" Rain replied laughing again

"Really? Even though my voice is normal, I really meant to call you but I'm confused, you don't even turn around"

"Yeah, I didn't turn around because I thought it wasn't Gevan. The problem is that Gevan suddenly sat in front of me and kept calling me very different"

"How is it different dear? My feeling is that I always call you beautiful"

"Yes Gevan, you always call me beautiful, but before that it was different, like you wanted to tease me, it was really flirty"

"Not pretty, I'm not flirtatious at all"

"Anyway you're flirty"

"No, honey"

"Hihhh Gevan don't call me honey, I'm very embarrassed you know"

"Why are you shy? Why?"

"Don't be shy, don't call me honey"

"Tell me first the reason why you can't call honey?"

"We're not dating Gevan, so don't call me honey"

"Oh so you want us to date? So I can call you honey?"

"Gosh, that's not what I meant Gevan" Rain said embarrassed, she immediately covered her face with his hands

"Then what do you mean beautiful?" Gevan asked, teasing Rain even more

"Can't Gevan not embarrass me like this? I'm ashamed to know that I was teased like that.

"Whose fault is it that keeps blushing, I'm surprised you have special feelings for me, why does it feel like every time I tease you, you always blush like this," Gevan said jokingly. I don't know why he is always so happy when teasing Rain like this, there is a certain satisfaction when making Rain blush to the point of blushing like this

"That's not it, Gevan.. don't call me honey"

"Tell me first the reason why I can't call you honey"

"Because we're not dating, Gevan" Rain answered innocently

"Okay then let's go on a date. Let me call you honey"

"Hihhh Gevan don't want"

"Why don't you want?"

"Yeah, I don't want to anyway"

"But I want to be beautiful"

"Don't Gevan, I still can't forget Arkan"

"Arkan again, Arkan again... it seems that the contents of your head are only Arkan, Arkan, Arkan and Arkan"

"Gevan angry?" asked Rain innocently with a smile that had almost disappeared, she didn't expect that Gevan's response would be like this

"I have no right to be angry! Like you said, we're not dating, I'm just your best friend! Nothing more! So I have no right to be angry with you if your only head is Arkan. But later I hope there's a little room for me is in your heart as Gevan, not as Arkan's shadow anymore," said Gevan at length

Silence

Rain couldn't say anything. She could not answer Gevan's words just now.
