"Y U...?"

Chapter 12

     "Finally, we're done." Man wiping the last table after Boss pick up all used plates and glasses and put it in the kitchen to wash them.

     They were on a shop owned by Bright's aunt. It's 10:50 in the evening and she decided to go home after they arrived. They still there waiting for Bright who left them for a while to answer his phone when it rang.

     Boss comes out from the kitchen and sits on a chair across where Man is. Then Bright came over to the two men.

     "Are you guys done? Sorry I have to leave you two. My aunt called me just to inform that next week she will be having a company here. She said she hired two helper."  Bright said, leaning on  the chair, while tapping his fingers on the table.

     "That's great. Finally she agreed to your suggestions to have a helper here. Customers are pretty much to handle by herself. Especially every Friday night." Boss said lying on his arms on the table. Looks tired from all the works they did in the coffee shop. They're just grateful that its weekend and they can sleep without minding the time to wake up early the next day.

    "She said she hired two students from our school? Based on the form they submitted to her. Just a part-timer..." Bright was confused cause his aunt seems too happy when she's telling him about one of them. She even giggled while mentioning him. And oh! She even forgot to tell the name.

    "Oh, really?"  Man said.

    Nodding his head, Bright's hand sliding smoothly inside his jacket. Holding the "journal" that the cute boy was insisting to call it when in fact it's just a normal manual every students in their school required to have. He then flips the first page. And he continues flipping another but he never noticed any difference. He knitted his brows in the middle when his eyes caught something.

     There are scribbles... No, wait! Words? Too many scribbled words adorning the manual. But it was written in a lightly way that if you're not that nosy, you can't even noticed it.

     Scanning it over and over again he then realized that it must be the reason why that boy wants to get it back from him badly. He reads some of the phrases that are written clearly. Most of it tells about his thoughts and feelings about everything that's happening in his life. And it seems so deep that even he's just reading it he can feel what's inside his heart. He can feel his sadness...

     "What's that?" Man asked leaning forward and check what's in his hand. Boss also got interested.

     "A journal." Bright replied. Still flipping the pages of it.

     "But it looks like a manual. Where did you find it? Let me see." Man tries to grab it from him. But Bright did not allow him.

      "No!"

     "Hey, man. Why being so stingy over that thing. I know it's not even yours cause look at it. It's not even our faculty's Identity Code." Man stated at Bright.

     "You're right, Man. Who's the owner? And why are you so overprotective with that?" Boss also became curious like Man was.

     Bright then put down the manual on the table and clasped his hands and begin to talk.

     "Remember the boy I was telling you about?" Bright starts to open the topic about that boy he encountered four times.

     "Oh! The boy with beautiful eyes like you said? What about him?" Boss asked him instead.

     "I already found him." Bright said. A smile formed on his lips as he remembered the incidents this morning and in the afternoon.

     "Where? And what's his name?" Boss asked again.

     "That, I don't know." Bright said shyly, scratching his nape, and knowing the fact that they're in the same university but he's not able to get his name.

     "What?! Then how did you say that you already found him if you don't even know his name?" Man couldn't believe it that he's actually hearing it from him.

     "All I know is that I met him twice this day and he was in tbe Faculty of Law... the same school with us." He said the last words in a very low voice. He was so sure that these two will tease him after they knew about it.

     "Seriously, Bright?! And you didn't even made a move to chase after him?" Man leaned back in his chair and Boss did the same, shaking their heads in disbelief.

     "That's why I keep this." Bright holding the manual again and let them see it.

     "You mean, that's his?" It was Man again curious what's he meant by that.

     "He was so stubborn and cold. He seemed to be aloof  too so it's hard for me to approach him. So I made a deal with him if he want me to hand it back to him." Bright explains. And the two were looking at him.

     "What deal? And how are so sure that he will be agreeing with you?" Man curiously asked him.

     "I know he will... And I WILL make him go out with me." After saying this, Bright stands up from his seat and then Boss and Man nodding their heads in agreement, following him, with a journal in his hand.
