CHAPTER 11

Aku, sitting on his favorite spot at DEZ café was feeling annoyed at the guy beside him. Damon tagged along with Aku at DEZ café, he was with his girlfriend Audrey. 

Damon was teasing his friend Aku since the day of the class meeting. Aku was really annoyed that he planned to go to the DEZ café alone, but his plan was destroyed when Damon tagged along with him and was still bothering and teasing Aku about his costume for the event. 

“Bro, you need to do this for our class!!!” Damon said while smiling at Aku. “Why did it have to be me?” Aku said in a mad tone, he was pouting while looking outside the shop. 

“Bro… it’s not my fault or our class fault that you pick the paper with the ‘MAID’ on it” Damon said, forcing himself not to laugh so hard. 

...

Few minutes have passed and Aku is still pouting and mad about his costume for the event. A black car parked in front of DEZ café, a girl with curly hair and wearing a light blue dress came out of the car. 

Zara who just came walks towards where Aku, Damon and Audrey are. Audrey was busy doing her homework, that is why she didn’t bother the two guys in front of her...

“Aku?... Damon what happened to Aku?” Zara who is in front of them asks, she was stunningly beautiful today, both Aku and Damon were mesmerized by her. 

Audrey noticed the gaze of Damon towards Zara, she kicked Damon’s knee. “OUCH!” Damon shouts, because of the pain. 

Aku, who was looking at Zara and spacing out because of her beauty, was awakened by Damon's loud voice. Most of the customers at the shop looked at them.

“If it wasn't Zara, I was planning to call you…” Damon said, Audrey stared like a dagger at him. Damon felt a chill on his spine, he noticed Audrey looking at him so fierce. 

“HAHAHAHA! Someone was so jealous, because I was looking for someone except her!” Damon said while laughing, Aku and Zara looked at Damon so confused as to what he said. 

“Wait! I’ll just order something… anything you want?” Zara said, she asks them if they want anything, but they shake their head so they don’t want anything at all. 

Zara went to the counter to order a food. “Looks like the girl you’ve been waiting for is here…” Damon said looking at Aku.

…

Zara finished ordering a cup of milk and muffins, she directly went to sit next to Aku. Damon, who is sitting beside Aku a while ago went to sit beside Audrey. 

“Zara, Jason was very mad and sad since the other day…” Damon said, he looked at Aku who he was teasing. Aku, planned not to tell Zara anything and planned to look calm and usual glare at his best friend Damon. 

“Why?” Zara, who was curious asked, Damon to smile at her. Audrey who was so annoyed at the action of Damon pinch him at the hand, Damon looked at Audrey and smiled. 

Damon looked back at Zara and smiled “well… he had a problem at school… Oh! Almost forgot, I was looking for you because I want to give you this” Damon gave Zara a ticket for the event. 

Zara looked at the ticket, she looked at Aku who seemed very annoyed at Damon “can I come?” she asked Aku. Aku looked at the puppy eyes of Zara begging him to say yes, Aku can’t say no and he nodded.

...

After the conversation, the group felt an awkward silence. Aku who wants to break the silence starts to open his mouth when he hears Zara asking him “Aku… why are you sad?”. Aku was dumbfounded by the question of Zara, he glared at Damon who was laughing so hard. 

“Well… I am not sad, just a bit disappointed… I guess” Aku answered Zara, he didn’t know how to answer her question. Audrey, who is busy doing something, suddenly laughs, she was laughing at the answer of Aku who was so troubled because of her boyfriend’s teasing.  

“Zara, your dress was so beautiful and also your hair” Audrey said, she looked at Aku who was planning from the start to compliment Zara’s look today. 

Zara blushed a bit and felt a bit shy because of Audrey’s compliment. “My mom… she did it for me” Zara shyly said. 

Aku looked at Zara and said with seriousness “You really looked beautiful today… Zara”. Zara was caught off guard by what Aku said, she didn’t know that Aku would also compliment her. 

“Seems like our baby boy have grown up… right darling!” Damon said, he looked at Audrey, as if ganging up together to tease Aku. 

Aku blush, and awkwardly said “I am not that innocent you know… even though I DIDN’T HAVE A GIRLFRIEND SINCE BIRTH!”. 

Damon looked at his bestfriend and suddenly, laughed so hard “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!” he was so amazed at what Aku confidently said. 

Zara, who was confused, tried to help Aku “don’t worry Aku… I don’t also have any experience in relationship”. 

Damon, who was laughing with Audrey, looked at each other and didn’t say anything. They were shocked to see that Zara was helping Aku… for the first time.

Damon stopped teasing Aku and looked at Zara “Zara… you and Audrey should go together at the event… since my beloved girlfriend will come alone” Damon suggested. 

“Okay” Zara replied, Audrey looked at Zra and smiled “Then can you give me your contact number so that I can tell you where to meet” Audrey said. Zara nods and gives Audrey her phone, Aku looks at Damon who was busy drinking his coffee…
