"Hey...what's up bro? where's our pretty cousin?" Gabe embraces Romeo who just arrived then occupies one of the seats that are still empty.
As the wind goes by, Romeo deliberately ignores Gabe's question. He is still upset about what Juliet did today.
And that's also the reason why Romeo chose to meet his friends, when honestly he would be at home if Juliet was there. But the truth is, no.
If only silent while looking at his cellphone that never got a reply, it feels Romeo's heart will be more upset.
"Gee. look. What's the matter? is your mood not good?" Gabe. "Don't tell me if our benefactor father will send you back to the land of nowhere." Gabe tried to guess with a serious face.
Gabe himself was astonished by Romeo's silence. Usually the man will talk a lot and do anything while gathering with his friends. But look, this time Romeo is definitely different. And that facial expression, Gabe knew that his friend's mood was in trouble.
"Hem. It's not exciting!" cibir Gabe's.
Romeo glared then grinned wryly at his best friend. "Urus is your business Gabe. I'm doing fine. Just need to clear my mind for a minute."
"And my cousin? there aren't. That girl doesn't exist. He's having a good time with our benefactor in El Monte. Ckcc. How dare!" Romeo hissing.
Hearing Romeo's reply, Gabe raised both his hands showing a gesture of surrender accompanied by a mysterious smile.
"Yes, yeah okay. Looks like you're upset that your father was taken. You brat!"
Hearing Gabe's sneer, Romeo only glared in annoyance. He did not fuss over his divided papa's attention, only to upset him why Juliet ignored his message. That'sthat's all.
"Then all you need is a drink, man. And of course a beautiful girl." exclaimed Gabe followed by a simple sound of laughter and applause.
"Jessie darling! Where are you?" call Gabe loud enough. "What are you doing? why are you calling Jessie?" romeo frowned at the sign of protest.
"Didn't you want to refresh, man? so Jessie was the answer." the sound of laughter then sounded again.
"No. No. gabe. That's not what I mean by Gabe." in another corner, James just smiled enjoying the clumsiness of his best friend as a result of Gabe's jokes.
Jessie is one of the campus stars who for the past few months has always been present in James' tongkrongan as well as his friends. The girl is easy to get along with and also fun.
That's why James allowed Jessie to be around.
"Already Gabe. Don't tease Romeo. You don't seem to know how this kid is." Sela James stopped the fat man.
"I'm just giving you a solution, man. Where's salahku? Don't we? Anyway tonight we have to have fun. Let me buy it. No one can go home before they get drunk."
"Agreed!"

That night, Juliet who was still paying attention one by one the contents of her gallery often mengolem smile.
All of that, of course, because he was sorting through the many pictures to determine which photos he had to show Romeo.
Even though it was so late, Juliet still could not forget how much fun their trip was today.
He felt so satisfied because he could spend his vacation time with papa Wiratama. Despite being away from Opa, Oma and her sister Lily, Juliet does not feel lonely.
All of that is of course thanks to the presence of someone like Papa Wiratama and Romeo who is always on his side.
Even Juliet who could not be far from her family, never felt the loss of warmth from a family even though they were not together at the moment.

Juliet's phone rings. Both of his eyebrows clocked when he saw the phone was suddenly filled with notifications.
And even more surprising, it turns out that the notification came from someone who had even ignored his call. Romeo.
Juliet glances at the watch in her hand at a glance, time showing at 2 p.m. How quaint. Why this guy just replied to my message this late.
Juliet picks up the cell phone that keeps on turning on and reads the messages one by one.
...From : Romeo...
..."Are you so happy when you go away like this?is that why you ignored my message?"...
..."That way you don't want to talk to me?"...
..."Looky. Again you ignored my message."...
"alright. I'm not gonna send you any more messages."
...Ting...
..."Juliet..?"...
...Ting...
..."Are you really ignoring me?"...
...Ting...
..."Hey...!"...
..."You mad? sorry, I didn't intentionally ignore your previous message."...
...Ting...
..."Please reply to my message!"...
...Ting...
..."Damnit. Why do you have to stay there."...
Juliet frowning. He was confused when Romeo's message came in like rain. But on the other hand, he also wanted to laugh. It's not usually Romeo behaves like this. Funnier.
"Why the hell are these same people?" Out of curiosity, Juliet finally contacts Romeo. He wanted to ask directly why the man was sending so many messages.
"Hem? finally you called me. Ju-liets. Juli-etc. Ju-li-etc. Lo mad?" the man's voice sounded hoarse. "Lo why the hell? I'm not angry. I wonder, what Lo's message just meant." said Juliet honestly.
There was a sighing sound accompanied by a fairly long breath from across there, before long the sound turned silent.
"Rom, you're okay, right? lo's clock is still not sleeping, abis why? Lo abis from Lo's party again huh?" Juliet is just guessing. But it seems that the guess is true.
"Gue's alone. No one is home. Yes I'm going. Anyway why am I at home, Lo is not there." now it's Juliet's turn made to sigh.
"Lo's drunk?" juliet asked in a cold voice. Romeo smiled knot. "Little." Juliet is silent. If it's like this, what can be done. They better stop.
"As Lo's good cousin, I suggest you sleep. Okay. I called him dead." Juliet said she wanted to end the call. It's free to talk at a time like this. Tomorrow morning Romeo will forget everything.
"Who's my cousin? Lo? You're not my cousin Juliet. Nope. You'll never be my cousin for ever."
Without saying anything, Juliet knew about it. Where there's a big cousin to meet like this. That is why you have to agree to a marriage contract. Fucking weird. Inner Juliet grumbled.
"Kan Lo said to himself that we're cousins. Ckcc. Strange policy." reply Juliet. When it was night, Juliet laid herself down. He's tired too.
"That's a lie. Lo it's my wife. And I'm Lo's husband. We're not cousins." Looks like Romeo's really drunk. Juliet could only sigh. He had no experience dealing with a man who was drunk with alcohol.
"Yes. Yep. Contract husband, do you mean Lo? and I'm also Lo's contract wife, I know what." sidelines Juliet does not want to be reminded constantly of it.
Romeo was silent. "O, yeah I want to show you something Lo."
"Shhhhhhh.. Jul, terrorize me." Romeo interrupted. "Gue wants to say something first...."
Juliet again frowned, "Yes ..?" Silent for a moment.
"I'm very well horrified. Please, don't fall in love with me. I'm a fucking guy. I won't be happy, Lo. I'm not a guy who pants also for Lo. anyway I can not be husband Lo Jul. So. i..So. please don't. Although I..."
After all those words, Romeo again fell silent. And so did Juliet. He doesn't know what to say. But he was still waiting for Romeo to finish his sentence.
Juliet is not the one in love. Only, he would not mind being near Romeo. At least until their contract expires.
"Rome? Lo sleep?" Juliet sees her phone screen still on, which means the call is still connected. But Romeo's breathing sounds regular. It seemed, the man had already fallen asleep leaving Juliet who had suddenly lost her drowsiness.
"Basic freak. Who is in love with you! Until whenever I won't fall in love with you. Goddamnit!"
