At X Cafe at 09.00 in the evening
A quite famous cafe in the city center. The bartender's concoction with a variety of drinks was inspiring. Not only alcohol drinks with various variants and prices. This cafe also provides snacks and low alcohol drinks to just cool off your tensed day.
Mario greeted Yosep who had arrived first. The two of them sat at the front table, quite a distance from the bar table. The two of them were involved in a warm chat between two friends who had not seen for a long time. Tell stories about each other's experiences and share their jokes.
"How was your marriage?" Joseph asked to open the chat.
"I regret it!" Mario replied, making Yosep's face change immediately. What do you mean by regret it!
"I regret it, if only I knew that marriage was very beautiful, I must have been married a long time ago!" Shit! Joseph hit his friend's shoulder lightly.
"You're teasing me huh!" Yosep cynically pretended to be angry. Mario just laughed. The two of them laughed while enjoying their drinks.
"How about your education?" Now it's Mario's turn wanting to know.
"I'm here with a friend. Ah, we are applying for further scholarships. I will continue my education in Australia, "Mario patted Yosep's shoulder proudly.
"You seem to like studying," said Mario either complimenting or sarcastically.
"Before I served society, wouldn't it be better if I had mastered a lot of knowledge?" Mario nodded in agreement with Yosep excused.
"You, look at you at this time! I am so amazed and proud of you!" Mario blushed at Joseph's exaggerated praise.
"You know that, thanks to Sofia (Mario's sister, read their story in another book, the title: the coldest CEO was my first love: Mario and Bey love story ')!" Said, Mario.
"Ah, where is he? Why not join us tonight?" Mario shook his head in answer to Joseph's question.
"If you already have a family, it must be difficult to arrange a meeting like this," said Mario trying to explain Sofia's current situation.
"Well, I believe that. Surely Prince Dave will whine along!" Joseph answered that he understood. (Dave is Sofia's son, Mario's nephew)
"Precisely!" The two of them laughed again while refilling their empty glasses.
"I think I'll call the driver tonight." Mario took another sip of his glass.
"You had a pleasant night, your wife was waiting at home .." Yosep grumbled as if complaining.
"Ah, yes. I'll introduce a woman to you!" Mario immediately remembered Ailee.
"Who? Woman. Come on!" Joseph patted Mario's arm lightly.
"You know I have trouble dealing with women. I'm afraid they will be disappointed with me," replied Yosep as if reluctant to be introduced to Ailee.
"Forget your past. I'm just learning to forget the past!" Joseph shook his head unsure of what Mario said. They have had different past problems.
"It's not that easy, Mario. Betrayal, disappointment. It all drives me down!"
"Come on, you're studying therapy, apply it to yourself!" Joseph laughed with Mario's input.
"You're right, it's just that a doctor still needs a doctor when he's sick!"
"Come on, it's not that complicated. My brother just wants to meet you!" Mario asked to convince Yosep.
"Your sister?" Joseph is getting dazed. "You will make our relationship worse," Joseph grumbled trying to remind.
"You know I'm so bad with women"
"Never mind, just try. He's at the front!"
Mario insisted
"WHAT!!" Joseph raised his voice until several guests in the cafe among them turned their heads. Joseph cleared his throat and tried to calm himself down.
"You make me nervous Mario!" Joseph whispered a little annoyed, Look, he's even trembling a little.
Mario put his arm around his friend's shoulder.
"Calm down, she's a cheerful girl," said Mario reassuring Yosep once again.
"Why do I find it hard to believe your words. "Said Yosep suspiciously.
"Yes, sometimes women nag, but isn't that nagging a part of the concern for their partner?" Asked Mario while playing with his facial expression.
"I Do not know," Joseph replied briefly.
Mario's cell phone rings, it looks like there was an incoming call from his wife.
"I can't spend late at night at the cafe. I'll introduce my sister and go home, oh yeah .. this is my proposal., if you are interested you have to join my company, this company in the health sector."
It seems that Mario's proposal attracted Yosep's attention more than supermodel Ailee's.
