The cheerful atmosphere between the two friends became quiet and awkward when Daffa entered the room where Andi was being treated. That handsome guy knew nothing about Fera's best friend. Likewise, vice versa, although Andi has listened to many stories about Daffa. He didn't even see the appearance of the guy.
"You escorted him, Fer? Don't treat him like that. Here, come in."
"Ye-yes, Ndi. Uh, here come in, Daf," Fera exclaimed confusedly.
"Daf? Daffa?" asked Andi.
Fera nodded her head while lowering her head. Daffa approached the two and sat right next to Fera. Andi is seen frowning the spoon and fork he holds now. He stores it back on the plate with a bit of energy until his voice is heard.
'Oh, so this is that guy,' Andi said in his heart.
"Hi, I'm Daffa, Fera's friend. Thank you for allowing me in."
"I'm, Andi. Fera's friend from childhood," replied Andi, replying to the hand position given by Daffa.
"How's your condition right now?" ask Daffa.
"Feel better."
Fera was confused by Andi's attitude, which suddenly became cold. Daffa was the same, and he was even confused about where to start the conversation. For fear of the situation getting worse, Fera permission to say goodbye to Andi. She embraced him like a brother or even a lover with a friendly, right in front of Daffa's eyes.
On the way to Fera's house, Daffa ventured to ask the girl about Fera's best friend because he was very curious.
"You and Andi, you've been friends for a long time, huh?"
"Yes, Daf. Why?"
"You guys look so close."
"Yes, of course, we were close. We've known it from childhood until now."
"So close until I see something in his eyes."
"What do you mean?" ask Fera.
"Are you guys loving each other?" asked Daffa.
"What are you talking about? I told you, we were friends. He's my BFF," exclaimed Fera with a cynical face.
"I'm just saying," Daffa replied.
Along the way, Fera herself was angered by Daffa's words,
'is it possible that Andi loves me? It can't be. Andi's like a brother for me," she said in her heart.
"After all, what's your business? Why do you ask a question like this?" said Fera.
Only the smile that Daffa put on the beautifully dressed girl.
Solitude in the hospital makes Andi uneasy. The goal during this time came to Indonesia only for Fera one.
Yes, he's a coward who can't express his feelings. During this time, according to him, the feelings will be reciprocated with the same feeling by his best friend. Because the intensity of their communication is so often every day, Andi is sure, and long la Fera will like it. Moreover, it is the only place where Fera's heart has been pouring out all this time.
"I have to do it now before I leave," Andi said to himself.
This afternoon, Andi will come to Fera's café. He knew that day was his best friend's schedule to check on the café. Because Andi's physical condition was already healthy and recovered, without a doubt, he went straight to his destination.
"Sir, sorry. If it can be neater, this one is cleaner again. Yes, the dry leaves are on the broom only."
"Everyone, do not forget the table numbers in the pair one-on-one neatly, huh."
"The window is opened, so sunlight comes in and gives a skylight effect. Of course, it's more electricity efficient."
"Anto, rest hours later, please buy rice wraps for all employees. This is your first day of work. So that you may live the day."
Andi was amazed to see Fera from a distance, whose spirit was so high to handle this first attempt. She is very independent and ambitious. She is very polite to her employees and looks like everything is like a family. That is what makes Andi fall in love with the girl whose full name is Ferania Saski Gunawan.
"Hi, are you busy?"
He tried to send a text message to his best friend before meeting her.
"Not too busy. It's the first day Cafe Lover opens. How are you? Are you healthy? Oh, sorry. It looks like I haven't been able to see you today. I'm still swamped in the café," Fera replied.
"It's ok. I've been out of the hospital, and I'm healthy. Thank God. Oh, today's the first open? In ten minutes, I'll stop by!"
"Thank God. Glad to hear that. You can, but don't ask for a cup of coffee for free! LOL."
The smile that expanded in Andi's mouth made his heart flower when he saw Fera smile when replying to a message with him from a distance.
He waited for 20 minutes so that Fera did not suspect that he was already there. Neat clothes that have been fragrant sprayed perfume back to make it fragrant. I don't know what he thought, to the point that the smell filled the entire corner of the car.
"It smells so strong, so stupid, Andi!" said Andi, nervous as he was about to get out of the car with a bunch of white roses for his beloved friend.
White shirts wrapped in a simple suit make it look casual, and pants that are not too tight with milk chocolate show Andi's appearance is not as usual. He even smoothed his hair using a gel he had never tried.
"Andi!" Fera greeted him while shaking her hand.
"Did you take a shower with a bunch of perfume? It's so bad!"
Then Andi immediately sniffed his shirt and gave a smile without sin.
"Hahaha, Mostly earlier. Hmm. This is for you," said the guy, giving flowers that he bought for his best friend.
"Uh, For me? Thank you," Fera replied.
"There's something I need to talk about."
The look on Fera's face began to change. Her smile now slowly disappeared and became flat.
"We-we're sitting inside."
Fera led Andi inside of her café. There are still few visitors, making it easier to talk one-on-one at table number two.
"This is my last day in Bandung. Previously, the distance between our friendships made me comfortable and fostered a sense in my heart. I know this sounds disgusting. But Fera, I like you. I want us to be in a relationship more than just friendship."
"HAHAHA ...."
Finally, Fera was relieved to let go of the curiosity of laughter after she held for a few minutes to hear Andi's words. She already felt something was wrong and funny when she saw Andi's appearance that was not as usual. But she didn't know that Andi was being honest at that time.
"Why are you laughing? It's not funny at all," said Andi with a flat face.
"Ah, uh. Sorry. But you're kidding, aren't you?"
"With my appearance like this, giving flowers to you, using the mostly perfume until I talked about it, there's no kidding. I'm serious."
"Bu-but. You may like me, Ndi. We've been friends for years."
"Yeah. We're friends. The proof is right now, and I'm in love with you."
"So, what should I do?" asked Fera confusedly.
"I need an answer. Do you want to be my girlfriend?"
"Andi, sorry. I can't. I'm comfortable like this. I'm sorry, I can't even believe that this is happening."
"Fer, this is my last day in Bandung. Please."
"I can't even hear this from you, Ndi. It feels weird. After all, if we were in a relationship, it would have been different from friendship, and I'd have lost it."
"Oh, well. I get it. You're just using me as your only lament. I'm sorry about this presumptuous one."
A minute later, one of the employees called Fera because there was something to consult with her.
"Wa-wait for a minute, I'll be right back!"
Fera left Andi for his business, who was just silent at the table with a shame that he could no longer bend. He decided to go to the café saying goodbye to Fera.
When Fera returned to see Andi, she no longer saw him. The girl ran towards the parking lot, but unfortunately, her best friend's car had gone far away from her café.
Andi, what's wrong with you? How come it be like this?!" muttered Fera sadly, staring at the end of Andi's car that had walked far.
Fera walked into her room and sat on a chair limply. She took the phone out of her pocket and called Daffa.
"Halo, Daf…"
"Fera? What's wrong?"
"You're right, Daf."
"Right? About what?"
