Chapter 2

Hello and Good Afternoon!

In this “a little bit” hot afternoon, we’re spending our time on swimming in our backyard! Yeah... summer is about to come. And swimming is a right thing to do in a sunny day! And imma make a lemonade after this!

“Huh! What a sunny and hot day!” I said

“Yeah it is! I can’t believe that the summer is coming quick” Mousse said

“Have you realize that one year feels like one hour?” I asked

“Yeah i feel it, more than fast” Mousse said

“Anyway, i’m done with swimming, i’m going to change my clothes and make some lemonade, you’re comin’?” I asked

“Nah, i still wanna swim here, you go first” Mousse said

“Okay, don’t get sunburnt out here!” I said and enter the house

I went to my room and take my clothes before going to my bathroom to change my clothes. Before i’m changing my clothes, i’m having a shower first then wear my clothes and then finally heading to the kitchen and made some lemonade for me and my bestie. I saw him still swimming.

“Hey, i think you enjoy swimming a lot” i said

“Of course i am! Swimming is more than a fun thing to do” he said

“I could be agree with you” i said

“Well, i’m going to have some story to share with you later!” He said

“What is it about?” I asked

“Just wait until the time has come!” He said

“Okie dokie! I can’t wait to hear it!” I said

“Haha! Now i’m going to the bathroom” Mousse said and step out the pool

Then he entered the house and went to the bathroom, i’m guessed that he’s going to changed his clothes and having shower. And i was right! He was having shower and sang with his beautiful voice! After he done, he went to the dinning room and asked

“What’s for meal?”

Then i answered

“Fried Rice and Cold Chocolate”

“You know Mousse... i used to have this in Indonesia, these are common in streets! And this is one of my favorite food!” I explained

“Really? I’ve been to Indonesia in my teenage, i saw many batik on store. They are beautiful” Mousse said

“Wow, why did we never meet?” I asked

“I dunno” he answered

“Anyway, how about l’histoire tu me dirai ?” I asked

“Huh?” He asked

“The story you will tell me” i asked

“Of course, right after i finish this meal” he answered

“What is it about?” I asked

“Well, it’s about me and my sister and my life too... i can’t wait to tell you!” He answered

“Well, i’ll let you to finish your meal first, then talk to me” i said

Then he finished his meal fast but not too fast, then he went to kitchen and washed the dishes. After all of his chores are done, he took me to the living room and let me sit beside him. After a while, he started to talk

*“*Well, me and my sister grew up here. That time, not much to find here and this city is not big as it is now” he said

“My parents often took us to a walk around the city, it’s fun”

“Well, is Scooperia already opened that time?” I asked

“Well... no” he answered

“Scooperia was opened in 2018, remember?” He said

“Yeah yeah” i said

“My life isn’t so fun too... when we’re becoming adult, we loved to robbing and doing criminals. We’ve caught once and brought to jail and stayed there for 4 months... life in jail isn’t fun... it’s the worst part of my life”

“Then, after we got free, we’ve opened a club frequencted by some criminals”

“Shortly, we decided to worked with the police as an informant... and then.... i met you”

“Awww, i feel sorry for that jailed part, i know being in jail, hanging with some criminals weren’t fun... especially for such a quiet person like you” i said

“From many friends i had, you’re the one who cares about me so much... i promise to stay with you forever” he said

“I promise you the same” i said

That’s our best friend promise, never leave each other until we’re old. Even somebody wants to be with us, we had to be together.. i hope neither of us broke this promise...

“Imaging what would happen if we’re broke that promise and separated....” I said

“Yeah... hope that wouldn’t happen” He said

“If you’re the one who leave me, i’ll kill you” i threated him jokingly and laugh

“Hahaha! Of course i’ll never leave you! What if you’re the one who leave me?” Mousse asked

“Nah that’s impossible! I’m a good guy!” I said

“No” he said

“How dare you” i said and laugh

The day’s getting dark... and i had to prepare the dinner for us... i decided to make roasted chicken with some mashed potatoes, i’m betting that Mousse gonna love this because this isn’t the first time i cooked this.

“I’m going to roast a chicken and mash some potatoes! I bet you’re gonna love this night’s dinner” I said

“Oh really? Maybe yea! Cause i love every food that my friend made!” He said

“I hope you aren’t lying to me!” I said

“Of course i’m not!” He said

“Okay! I’m gonna make the dinner, don’t go anywhere!” I said

“Alright alright i’ll stay here!” He answered

“Haha! What a good boy” i said and went to the kitchen

I went to the kitchen and prepared some potatoes and chicken and another ingredients i needed, time to cook for me and my bestie!

AFTER FEW MINUTES

Alright! The mashed potato and the roasted chicken were ready! Time to called that chocolate lover to come here and eat this yummy dinner! I bet his tummy will loves this food i’ve cooked!

“MOUSSE! COME HERE, DINNER’S READY!” I shouted from the kitchen

“Comin’” he said

Then, i served him the dinner i’ve made, i can’t wait to see his reaction on my food that i’ve made! He grabbed a fork and knife, cutting the part of the chicken and ate it... and...

“How is it?! Is it yummy?!” I asked

“It’s....”

“D E L I C I O U S! You’re truly the best on making food like this!” He compliment me

“Thanks! This is my... maybe fifth time making this...” i said

“Oh, i’m guessing that you keep improving in every turn” he said and ate again

“Well, maybe you’re right... let’s have dinner together” i said and sat in front of him

“Hmm.. why not?” He said

I grabbed a plate, fork and knife then cut the chicken for myself. I also add some mashed potato on my plate and finally, i ate it..

What did Mousse said is true! This is so delicious! I’m proud of myself. Mark my words

“You’re right! This is soooo delicious! How did i.. make this one into a delicious dish?!” I asked to myself

“Well... maybe you put your heart into this dish” Mousse answered my question

“Dear Mousse.... if i put my heart to this, i wll be dead...” i said

And we’re laughing together and finish our dinner and washed the dish before returning to our room... 1 hour later, our bedtime came. We didn’t feel it because we’re playing together and it’s fun! And suddenly our bedtime came. Well, it’s time to sleep... I’m on my room and already made my bed.

“Well, i still can’t believe that Mousse used to be a criminal...” i said in my heart

“But past is past, i had to get over it... he used to be that bad but now he’s a good best friend... well, time to forget that and sleep...” then i close my eyes...
