The clothes he was wearing were neat. Similarly, the wallet, pomade, and charger are complete in the bag. Dafi grabs his phone on the bed and checks if Biyya replied to a message he sent last night. He came out of his room and down the stairs, precisely to the dining table for breakfast. It appears that the food is ready to be served by Bi Ijah. After the breakfast, he grabs his motorcycle's key and prepare to open his coffee shop, he hopes today he can meet Biyya.

As usual, there are already the customers who came to the coffee shop. However, Biyya is completely invisible until today. He looks disappointed as he waited for every customer who opens the door of the shop and does not find his girlfriend.

"Welcome to DF coffee shop. What do you want to order?" said Akbar who was barista at the coffee shop.

"I ordered an iced matcha latte."

"That's it?"

"Yup, that's it. Thanks," Mily pulled out a few sheets of money and paid for her order.

His heart immediately beats fast for many times. It turns out that the one standing is a woman with black curls entering her coffee shop and of course it's not Biyya.

"Mily?"

"Yup. I haven't ordered a cup of coffee here in a long time. Where is Biyya? She's not here yet, is she?"

"Well, I want to ask you, because she didn't reply my message. Didn't you see her in your college?" asked Dafi.

"No. Why?"

"Oh that's okay. Don't mind it."

Hearing Mily's statement, Dafi feel more guilty of last week's incident that he just left Biyya. He doesn't stop looking at the phone, waiting for a reply from Biyya. However, there is still no notification.

Mily paid for her order and took a table in the left corner, right next to the bookshelf. In between conversations, Akbar's eyes barely blinked at Mily.

"Whoa!"

"Why are you screaming?" Akbar was shocked.

"You have a crush on her? I will call her, wait!" Dafi holded Akbar.

"Shit," Akbar shuts Dafi's mouth that would call Mily's name.

"Don't mind it. Don't just watch. Get close to her."

"Nope. I don't want she think that I'm a playboy."

"It's useless to be handsome but you afraid to approach girls. Man, come on!"

"It's okay, bro."

The shady sky that afternoon began to turn yellow and reddened coated with clouds that clumped so beautifully. The customers who stopped by the coffee shop one by one came out after enjoying a variety of coffees of their order. Dafi saw the day starting in the afternoon and stepped towards the speakers to change the song.

From Biyya:

Dafi, I'm sorry. I've been doing a lot of work these days. So, I don't have much time to check my phone.

To Biyya:

I'm going to your house at five o'clock, okay. I'm going to take you somewhere.

From Biyya:

Where?

To Biyya:

To a place that can make your mind not fresh because of the task. Get ready, see you.
