Today is really more crowded than the day before. Many times Reva gulped down her own saliva which felt like it was starting to dry as she continued to speak. Enthusiasm is inevitable, not only ask about the houses on offer, they also ask for photos as usual.
Reva and Raka take turns serving the requests of visitors despite really draining their energy.
“Well, hopefully our child looks like a mas or mbak his father... beautiful and handsome.” Said a pregnant woman who was stroking her stomach while staring at Reva and Raka alternately.
I don't know how many photos he took with Raka and Reva that neither can refuse.
“Ya should look like we also dong Bu, later people are confused if our baby looks like mas same mbaknya.” said the husband while nodding politely to Raka and Reva.
The woman was upset, because her hope was not lived by the husband. Reva and Raka looked at each other, looking for a way to end the drama.
“What is clear, may the baby's sister be healthy always yes Ma'am, sir. And at birth she was already in the new house.” Said Reva who helped stroke the woman's stomach gently.
“Amminn... thanks mba..” say to the woman with sumeringah. “Tuh well, we take one of his house yaa... so that our son herrasain live in a nice house. Can it be yah?” persuade the woman while putting her hand on the husband's right arm.
“Iyaaa, but we just credit yaa..” said the husband slowly.
“Asyiikkk, thanks dad..” the woman hugged her husband without hesitation.
Reva took a small smile, not because the one house he offered would sell but smiled because he saw the interaction of the couple who looked very sweet.
Raka, who had been looking at Reva since then, looked a little smile at Reva's happy expression. The man began to approach Raka and asked all the house ownership procedures and Raka painstakingly explained it while occasionally glancing at Reva who was engrossed in talking with the pregnant woman.
“Yeaayyy! There are 8 people who want to buy our units. Aduuhh thankurlaahhh..” exclaimed Reva who was excited to see the recap of visitors who recorded Raka on her laptop. He stared at the laptop screen with a big smile because his efforts were not in vain.
“This is because lo pinter really attracts consumers.” Sahut Raka with pride.
“This is thanks to lo also who patiently weladenin all questions prospective consumers.” Timpal Reva with his warm gaze at Raka.
Raka felt, her heart would stop beating if Reva kept looking at her like that. He immediately turned his gaze to the laptop screen with the corner of his eyes still glancing at Reva who was standing beside him.
“Lo also can already smile with consumers, kereeennn..” continued Reva who gave 2 thumbs up in front of Raka. Raka smiled at Reva's level.
For a moment, the two of them met. Raka stared fixedly at the black bead that every night always made her fret over missing him. But even at the same time, that gaze managed to make his heart feel peaceful, shady and able to smile.
Reva himself, feeling some memories in his head made him feel dizzy. Some of the events he tried to forget, revolved around forming a collage that plagued his mind. It feels like, for the first time, failing.
Reva turned her face away from seeing Raka again. He did not want all the things he tried to keep in his subconscious, one by one appearing in his mind. Reva shook her head repeatedly.
“Re..”
A voice resuscitated Reva from her daydream. A voice he knew very well.
“Kak mela...” said Reva when he saw the figure of mela standing before him.
“Portment kok here rame, it turns out there lo...”
Mela approached Reva and hugged her tightly.
Reva smiled faintly and tightened her embrace at Mela. After quite a longing, Reva slowly let go of the hug of the tough woman she already considered her own brother.
“Kak, yesterday I passed booth lo, but lo gag there..”.
“Iya, some days I am gag in, because Rio is sick.” The light of Mela who tried to smile, though dumb.
“Rio what pain?” Reva looks anxious to hear the news Rio is sick.
“She has a fever. Only now I have improved even though I have not entered school again.” Mela said that she did not want to make Reva worried.
His gaze turned on the male figure who was seriously staring at the square screen before him. The reflection of the laptop light that hit Raka's face, made Mela remember the handsome face that she often saw a few days ago.
“Who is he?”
Mela persuaded Raka with her round eyes. Reva turned around and saw the figure Mela meant.
“Oh, it's Raka. Temen my internship.” Reva said casually.
Mela sure right, the face she saw was the face she often saw a few days ago.
“Raka!” reva exclaimed in a loud voice, making Raka's attention on him. Reva invites Mela to come closer to Raka. “Known, this is my friend, sister mela.” Reva.
“Hay, I'm Mela.” Mela extended her hand
“Raka.” Sahut Raka who briefly shook Mela's hand. It was as cold as usual.
Mela tried to smile but Raka's gaze returned to her laptop.
“He is an iceberg, lo gag need to offend kak.” Whisperer Reva who looked at Raka with annoyance.
“Re, I think lo gag will take out lunch. I brought a lot of supplies, you want?” said Mela who saw Raka swiftly approached the visitors who came.
“Yes, these few days eat my gag regularly. Pretty busy too.” Complain Reva with his potent expression.
“Ya already, follow me bentar, take food for lo same temen lo.”
Mela pulls Reva's hand and Reva immediately follows Mela's footsteps.

Mela was still focused with her thoughts about Raka. He remembered seeing Raka several times silent in the parking lot when Mela would go home and change shifts with Reva. From a distance Raka has been watching Reva since Reva came and started her work. And from Raka's attitude towards him, Mela was convinced by the conclusion that was in her brain.
“Re, you have known the Raka for a long time?” ask Mela while handing the box containing food to Reva.
“Emm is quite a long time anyway. But it's also not like.” Reva is confused when she remembers how long she has known Raka.
“Lo is still a habit of mengelupain people around lo ya Re?” keka Mela with her serious gaze. Reva was silent. “Gue see, he's a good person, so lo gag need to try to escape togetherness lo same he.” Continue with confidence.
“It is precisely because he is good, then I must forget all my togetherness as he is sister. I want to go into the hole that I dug myself.” Inner Reva who could only fall silent without daring to look Mela in the eyes.
“Thank you brother, I'm back at work first.” Sahut Reva without daring to chimed in Mela's previous speech.
“Iyaa, you continue your work. But I hope, lo gag lupain my greeting just now.” Timpal Mela smiled warmly.
No response from Reva. But from the look in her eyes, Mela knew, Reva was trying to pretend not to hear her words.
Reva immediately left and returned to the place where Raka was busy with 2 visitors.
Reva put the food Mela gave her. For a moment his gaze was fixed on the serious face of Raka who was explaining very closely and in detail. Reva touched her own left chest, for some reason her chest cavity felt warm.
“Jeez Reva, enough! Focus!”
Reva tried to wake herself up. He took a deep breath with his eyes closed and exhaled slowly as he opened his eyes. After smiling he returned to help Raka explain to the visitor.
The circular clock on Reva's left hand shows it's 13:27. Reva rubbed her stomach which felt rumbling. Raka is busy with her laptop.
After finishing the conversation with her last visitor, Reva immediately picked up the lunchbox that Mela had given her. He sat in one of the chairs where he and Raka usually rested or just for a drink.
“Raka, eat first..” call Reva who is impatient to devour rice and his friend who is plastered in plain sight.
“Bentar, gig.” Sahut Raka without looking at it.
Reva squeaks. One thing that Reva hates from Raka, is when Raka is too focused on her work and forgets her surroundings even forgetting time.
“Why should there be anything I hate about him? Then what do I like about him?” batin Reva who looked at the shoulder field Raka who was behind her.
Reva's mind wandered back, until he realized Raka had sat down before him and called his name repeatedly.
“Re…. How can I eat not yet?”
Raka tapped on the table quite hard to make Reva realize from her daydream.
“Hah? Yes, how?”
Reva slid herself when Raka suddenly took her food and put it in her mouth.
“Haiisshh! Have you read do’a yet?”
Reva clapped Raka's hand which was about to take food for the second time.
“Udah almost khatam 1 juz even, lo aja who from earlier daydream gag clear.” Sahut Raka with her joke grin.
“Issh! Bummer.” Decik Reva who snatched the spoon from Raka's hand and took his food and devoured it with happiness. “Heemmm.. rice is indeed the best..” his murmur with a mouth full of food.
Raka smiled anxiously at Reva's expression that was so enjoying her food.
“It looks like lo gag can ya if gag there is rice?” the fun-loving Goda Raka stared at Reva devouring her food. Suddenly his stomach felt full just like seeing Reva who was so happy with the food in his hand.
“It is, for me, rice is the best. Garem pake is delicious. Try bread or potatoes, there must be a side dish. Where is good to use garem doang.” The chuckling of Reva made Raka laugh.
After finishing a few mouthfuls, Reva only realized that Raka had just looked at her with a jakun who was up and down, gulping down her own saliva watching Reva eat voraciously.
“Aaaa...” said Reva while thrusting a spoonful of food into Raka's mouth. They enjoyed their lunch so much this time, they forgot that they were using the same spoon and the same place to drink.
