A Clown (English Version)

Okay, forget what happened last night. Although this curiosity is very high, but back to reality, today has to work as usual.

Teo was in his office with a myriad of activities, lots of paper piled up that had to be checked and signed. No email yet, gosh.

Theo looked at the clock, ”Its going to be office break soon, ” Teo said to himself.

”Hello Jane! Where? ” Teo asked on the phone, he deliberately called the girl.

”Theres business outside for a moment, whats wrong? ” Answered Jane.

”Would you like to invite us to lunch together? ”

”Tumben, usually eat at your house, ”

”Yes … Ive been wanting to eat out for a long time, ” I don know why today I feel like I want to be accompanied by someone, whoever it is, and what comes to mind is Jane. Maybe if they are still in touch, they will invite Val to have lunch together.

”Just make an appointment at the cafe near the park, then Ill follow you there, ” Jane.

”Sip, then Im leaving now. ”

”Okay, ”

Teo came out of his office after turning off the phone. Walking, coincidentally the cafe is not too far from the office, walking and looking around is something that everyone enjoys.

Having their own time and busy with their own business, around the area in the park there is a group of children playing. There was also a young couple sitting on a park bench with their respective partners.

Teo just smiled seeing those who were making love, suddenly remembered in Teos mind the incident of how he met Val. At that time Teo was sitting in the park while Lee was looking for him.

flashback …

”Teo! Where have you been? Im looking for it, but its fun to hang out here. You usually don answer my chat with my phone anymore, ” Lee was annoyed.

Teo ignored Lee who was annoyed, he was enjoying the cool afternoon breeze. I don know why it feels different this afternoon. It felt calmer, only that calm was suddenly disturbed by Lees recent arrival.

”Heh answer! Why are you staying here? ” Lee asked.

”Enjoying the afternoon, ” the poem is short.

Lee rolled his eyes lazily, ”There really isn a lot of work for this kid, ” Lee muttered.

In the corner of their campus, there is a park that is rarely visited by people. Only a few are here. Maybe because its in the corner of the campus and the distance is quite far from the main gate. Precisely close to the Faculty of Education and Sports.

Like a garden in general there are chairs, tables, plants and also a fish pond. What makes this park special, according to Teo, is that besides being rarely visited by students, there is one chair in this park that faces west. It fits perfectly with the meeting point with the sunset.

The sun and twilight are a very beautiful combination, on the western horizon the sun is slowly setting. Beautifully painted with orange sunlight. There is one quote that Teo likes.

”You want proof there is a God? Look outside, watch the sun go down, ” quotes by Frank E. Peretti

”Teo Teo! ” Lee called while patting his shoulder, instantly Teo turned his head in shock.

”Look! Its 12 oclock, ” said Lee, shaking his shoulder excitedly.

”What are you doing? Its not really clear, you know what? ” Theo replied with an annoyed chuckle.

”Look, you idiot! ” Lee cursed lightly slapping his friends cheek.

Theo turned around as he said, ”What the hell- ”

His speech stopped for a moment. Teo takes back what he said about sunsets, there is nothing more beautiful than that.

”What faculty do you think hes from? ” Asked Lee trying to give a chance to guess.

”I don know, ” Teo answered simply.

”Tch. Btw, Im really the type, gosh, who wears item clothes, ” said Lee smiling with an adoring gaze.

”You just call everything your type, ” Theo replied with an annoyed snort.

”You
e so stupid, can you see your friends are happy for a bit, ” Lee said clutching his chest, looking at his best friend.

On the other side of the pool are two women, one wearing a black dress and the other wearing a cream color dress. What caught Teos attention was the one wearing the Cream color shirt. See the combination of Cream color and olive skin so it fits perfectly. In addition to her hair in a ponytail, she also has a sweet smile.

Gosh she is more beautiful than the sunset that Teo described earlier. Suddenly Lee had pulled Teo over to the two girls and said.

”Hi! Can I meet you? Cave Lee, you are beautiful, moreover you are funny, ” while extending his hand towards the girl wearing black clothes.

The two girls were silent and stared at each other.

”Eeh sorry, my friend hasn taken medicine yet. You know, the effect of the afternoon likes being a wolf, ” sela Teo said while pulling his best friends collar from behind.

”Wait a minute, just play tug-of-war, ” Lee said rebelliously.

They both just smiled at the behavior of Teo and Lee. ”Haha its okay, nice to meet you too, Lee. My name is Gea Khairunnisa. And this is my friend, her name is Valerie Margertha, ” said the woman in black introduced herself.

”Hi, Im Valerie, just call me Val. ” He said with a characteristic soft voice that became a new addiction for Teo.

”Gosh her name is beautiful, just like the person, ” Teo muttered under his breath.

”So? ” Gea asked as she looked at him. Teo and Lee were just dumbfounded not knowing what he meant.

”What? ” Ask Theo.

”So whats your name? ” Val continued, smiling sweetly.

”O-oh my name is Teodhor Danuarta. ” Yep, thats Teos full name. And Bang Danus full name is Axiel Danuarta.

That was Teos meeting with Val by accident, if it wasn for Lee who told him there was a beautiful woman and made acquaintances recklessly. Maybe Teo wouldn know about Vals figure. And probably wouldn have this kind of heartache, so? Who is to blame? Maybe this is destiny.

Flashback stopped.

Suddenly Theos cell phone rang, ”Hello Jane, are you there? Oh okay Im there, ” said Teo on his cell phone.

Teo stepped out of the garden towards the Cafe, when Jane entered, she waved, apparently she had ordered food first.

”What message do you want? ” Jane asked.

”I don know, I haven seen the menu, ” Teo said while looking at the menu.

”You eat alone, don you wait for me, huh? ” Teo asked seeing Jane who was eating her food alone.

”Its been a long time waiting for you, Im hungry, ” Jane replied casually devouring her food.

The waitress came to their table to take notes. Teo told what the order was, the waiter repeated his order and walked away.

”Oh yeah, By The Way, since you
e the one who asked me to have lunch together, does that mean you have to treat me? ” Jane said accompanied by the waiter who brought the order in the form of dessert. Damn he ate a lot.

”Yes, I pay, ” answered Teo, not wanting to argue.

”Maaciww Teoo … ” Jane said in a funny voice.

”Im going to the toilet for a while, ” said Teo, nodding to his secretary.

On the way to the toilet, his watch almost fell off because it was loose. Teo walked while looking down to adjust the position of his watch.

BRUKKH!

A girl suddenly falls after accidentally colliding with Teo. ”Sorry sorry, is Nonna okay? ” Teo asked helping the girl who fell in front of him to stand up.

”Its okay you say? Look, my ice cream is falling! ” The girl replied with a sharp look.
