I'm having dinner with Nathan right now. After our lecture schedule was over, I who was arguing with Aria was visited by him. Nathan asked me to go with him. We arrived long enough, waiting for our order to arrive. However, I still couldn't focus, thinking about what Nathan had in mind at the moment.
“Zee.” Nathan's voice sounded.
“Why you? from just silent?” Nathan looked at me.
“Ahh...” is okay. I replied.
“Why? From the car to get here, you are more silent.” Nathan Said.
I'm staring. Quiescent. I wanted to say something, but my voice was hard to come out and talk to her.
“Why?” Nathan asked again.
“Excuse.” The voice of a servant suddenly sounded. Stopped our conversation. Food we ordered earlier.
“Table 21, the order is Honey Ginger Salmon one, Tomato Basil Shrimp one, Garlic Butter Shrimp Must be one, the, Blue Ocean Soda with Fruity Lemon Squashnya one right Miss? Sir?” The waiter looked at me and Nathan took turns.
“Iya. Thank you.” My speech. Nathan just nodded his head in agreement. His eyes were still staring at me, waiting for my answer.
“Sama-sama. Enjoy.” He smiled, and left our table. Tension returns about Nathan's question I haven't answered yet.
“Zee!” Nathan looked at me. Waiting for an answer.
I nodded, understanding what the question meant.
“Later, after we finish eating only.” My speech.
Nathan looked at me dissatisfied. “Good.” Nathan answered.
Nathan and I ate our food in silence. The dish that should have tasted delicious, turned into bland. The tense and silent atmosphere was very pronounced. Not as expected and expected as I had expected before.
“Zee.” Nathan's voice broke the silence.
“Why? The food is not to your taste?” Nathan looked at me who was eating very slowly.
“No.” Answer's short.
“So?” said again. Forcing me to say something.
“Nothing, the food is good.”
“I'm surprised by you Zee. Before you came here, you were fine. Now why did you suddenly change?” Nathan looked at me. His voice sounded annoyed. Yet a smile remained he was forced to be on his face. Trying to understand me, maybe.
“No. It's not like that. I'm just a little distracted by what happened in the campus earlier. But I'm confused where to start.” Saying slowly.
“Which one?” nathan asked confused me.
“So our time is done class. After parting ways with Aria.” I replied.
Nathan was silent, his face seemed to be trying to think of something. He stopped eating, looking no longer tasteful. Both of his hands he put across his chest. Frowning her forehead trying to repeat what I meant.
Flash Back's
Classes are finished early today. Aria invited me to play together before coming home, but I refused on the grounds that there was still a task that I had not completed.
“Come Zee. It's been a long time since we went together.” Aria forced.
“I can't.” My speech. “My task is not finished.”
“I haven't.” either Aria answered. “But today is different. There's Brian. He's the one who bought us Zee. Mey and Elisha are also coming. Isn't that Mey? Elis?” Aria looked at Mey, Elisa and Brian alternately.
“Why did I treat you all?” reject Brian. “I'll just take you.” Brian looked at Aria annoyed.
“But, if both are less exciting!” Aria grumbling.
“Already. Already.” Elisha speaking. “Me and Mey can't come. We still have other business.” Elisha.
Mey looked at Elisha. “Iya. I can't either.” Mey told Aria.
Aria looked upset. Brian seemed to calm his lover. I wanted to leave, but I didn't want to be the third one.
“Zee.” Nathan's voice rang out between our commotion.
Aria and the others looked at Nathan who was already standing next to my chair.
“Nathan? Why?” confused say.
“How about our appointment?” Nathan looked at me with his brown eyes.
“Appointment?” I looked at him still confused by the meaning of his words.
“Zee !!” Aria shouted in annoyance. “You said do the job. But what does this mean?” Aria looks at.
“I also don't know.” I looked at Aria.
“Explain.” I looked at Nathan to hold him accountable.
Nathan smiled, not answering. One of his hands was raised and pointed at my phone on the table.
“What?” I looked at him confused. I picked up and looked at my phone, there was already a message there. A message from Nathan I haven't read.
“So? How?” nathan asked back.
I looked at Aria, her face looking annoyed. Mey and the others just kept quiet, waiting for my reaction.
“Hemmm.” I nodded in agreement to his invitation.
“Zee!!” Aria shouted in annoyance.
Nathan smiled at my answer. Nathan immediately pulled my hand to leave. Aria who was upset, looks more emotional because of my departure with Nathan who left her just like that. I who know Aria's behavior just laugh.
“Nathan.” Suddenly someone's voice sounded. Stopping my step and Nathan's gonna be parked.
I looked at the direction the voice came from. Mey and Elisha were standing behind me.
“Mey?” my spoken. “What's up?”
“No.” answer.
“So?” my many.
“I have nothing to do with you Zee, max. I want to talk to Nathan.” Mey looked at Nathan standing next to me.
“Ohh.” I looked at Nathan.
Nathan did not answer. He just stared at Mey and me. I looked at Elisha, and he just shook his head not knowing what Mey meant.
“You can talk for a minute right?” mey told Nathan.
Nathan looked at Mey silently. Not answering his question.
“Zee?” Nathan looked at me.
“Why?” I looked at him confused.
Nathan did not speak, but his eyes slightly moved towards Mey standing up. Gave me a gesture and asked for approval.
“Tersubscribe.” I said slowly to him.
Nathan nodded slowly. “Wait for me.” He said softly, whispering in my ear. Leaving me still silent with his actions in front of Mey and Elisha.
The Flash Back End
Nathan was still silent, thinking about the meaning of my previous words. He raised both his hands up, telling me that he did not understand at all what I meant.
“Hahahaha.” My laughter broke the silence between us.
“Ya already if you don't know, I've forgotten it.” Smiling words.
“Soever?” ask Nathan.
“Iya.” I'm nodding. “If you don't remember it maybe it's not something important.” I looked at him.
“Come on Zee, should you be suspicious or whatever.” Nathan looked at me disappointedly at my answer.
“I'm curious. But not if I insist on wanting to know you also become less comfortable. Also free. Don't you remember.” answered me.
Nathan let out a sigh hearing my answer. Not angry, but his face looks upset because it does not receive a response as expected.
“I know what you mean.” Said caving. “I'm just pretending to forget. I want to know your reaction.” Her speech.
“So? Hows it? Satisfied with my reaction.” I answered while laughing at him.
“Puas.” Nathan looked at me smiling. “Your color is actually jealous, but pretend not to care.”
“No. I'm not jealous.” I avoided her question.
Nathan laughed out loud. Seeing my behavior. “Iya, I know kok.” replied Nathan smiling. “Each you to no appetite, even though air your favorite.” Nathan looked at me and laughed again.
I silently heard it, I was sure the reaction of my blushing face was already the answer to Nathan. The shame approached me.
“You insulted me huh?” I said with annoyance. "Why can you be so sure I like shrimp?"
Nathan laughed when he heard it. “I'll just tell you the truth. If you don't like it, you won't order food that contains shrimp. ” Nathan replied and smiled seductively.
“So you want to tell me no?” my many.
“What?” Nathan turned around to ask me.
“That's it, your conversation with Mey.”
“Ohh, the.” Nathan nodded. “I don't want to not tell a story, but it's just something that doesn't matter. So I've forgotten it.” Nathan answered my question.
“It doesn't matter? Mey talking to you alone it's been weird. Why can't it be unimportant?” my spoken.
“Not important yes not important. I'm so confused how to explain it.” Nathan looked at me.
“Hemmm, if it doesn't matter.” I grumbled. Annoyed by Nathan's response.
“If you knew it would be like this, I wouldn't have talked to him Zee.” Nathan looked at me disappointed. “I appreciate him, because it's your friend.” Say again.
I let out my breath. Think about what is causing our conflict. Dinner that was supposed to be something special, turned into a battlefield just because of trivial things. I'm disappointed in myself for not believing in Nathan and Mey at all.
“Sorry Zee.” Nathan said suddenly. I looked at him with a sorry face.
“Why you?” my many. “I'm wrong, not you.” My speech.
“No. I was wrong, I shouldn't have spoken to him.” Answer Nathan.
“It's okay. It's all my fault. Our dinner is a mess.” I regret.
Nathan laughed at my words. “It's okay. We can still eat another time.”
“Or, do you want us to order another meal?” Nathan teases me and laughs. I looked at him and laughed. Unbelieving our first dinner situation, which ended up falling apart.
