Promise

3x

It's been three months since the incident that day, since then Prapai has always been looking for a sweet man who disturbs her mind.

Prapai is willing to go back and forth from her faculty to the medical faculty which is quite far away, just to find the man she wants. But alas! Prapai meets him.

Never mind meeting him, he had never even seen the man's nose. In order to meet a man named Peat, Prapai is willing to be hot and willing to be surrounded and seduced by women from the medical school.

The man also asked his best friend named boss, he asked about peat or noeul, his target friend. But the boss also doesn't know about it because neither Peat nor Noeul have ever come to the boss' workshop.

They only pay the motorbike service fee via transfer. Prapai also called the number Peat gave him at the hospital, but the man never answered.

"Pai" someone called

"pai ?"

Still not getting a response from the owner of the name, the person rubbed his chest patiently and tried one more time

"Prapai "

"AI SAT" shouted the man could not stand it.

Prapai tiptoed slightly in surprise and turned to the man, looking at him with a 'what the heck' look.

"Focus pie focus" said the man

"I'm focused and you distract me ai boss"

"Don't lie" said the boss and prapai who heard him became silent again and stared straight ahead.

Boss was tired and lost his temper, lucky that the man in front of him was his best friend otherwise boss would have beaten him right then and there.

It's not without reason that the boss is angry and annoyed, the problem is that they are currently at the track (racing) arena and it will soon be prapai's turn.

Boss isn't afraid that his friend will lose because he already knows the man's ability. They also won't lose much because this is just a small game and just practice for him.

Boss is afraid and worried that his friend will be okay because he keeps daydreaming. And if that happens, then their big boss, Mr. Mile (his friend's father) will be furious if he finds out what happened to his son and loses before tomorrow night's match.

"It's time, help me get ready" said prapai breaking the boss' thoughts

"No !! It's better for us not to compete than for us to make a big deal" the boss refused and took Prapai's motorbike key

"Boss !! It's not a big problem, I'm not daydreaming and I'm one hundred percent aware" Prapai replied trying to take his motorbike key.

"I promise I won't get you in trouble again okay? (looks at the boss and reaches out his hand to ask for the key)"

"You know that I will definitely win it, so you can use the money to pay compensation to that man"

"Here" the boss chuckled before ending helping prapai get ready for the next match.

If it wasn't for a precarious matter, which boss would want to be bribed by a kid a few months younger than him.

Boss is not from an underprivileged family, it's just that earning five hundred million in a day is very hard for him. If only that man gave him 3 days, the boss would have no trouble because in 3 days the money he got from Mr. Mile was more than that.

And the only way to overcome that is to take part in this match. If prapai focuses and wins, he will pay the compensation and the rest for him to save.

"Peat !! when we go back to campus, we'll go to the Axxxx cafe, okay?"

"not usually ? Usually I want to go straight to the apartment," said Peat, surprised.

"It's about the car____"

"Oh yeah, has your car been serviced? Is it bad or not?" Asked peat cut off the conversation

"Not yet !! And also the service fee is very expensive. If I ask Papa, I will definitely be angry and scolded for 7 days and 7 nights" said Noeul a little weak

"Yeah, which parent isn't angry when they find out that their child has had an accident and was treated for 3 days in the hospital? Where's the car, also the latest expense?"

Peat replied and sounded like an allusion and a remark as if calling him, making Noeul stomp his feet in annoyance.

He increasingly showed his annoyance when the man sitting beside him ignored him and focused on his food.

"Iiii iiihh peaatt !!!"

"What's wrong Eul, finish your food quickly. Coming in soon" said Peat glanced briefly then returned to eating his food.

"Ckk iisssh, accompany me" asked noeul again, he would not give up until the man said yes.

"What are you doing there! We'd better go to an ice cream shop"

"Peat !!! Gosh, is there only food in your brain?" Noeul asked annoyed and couldn't stop thinking

"You know"

"Me or food?" Noeul asked making Peat look confused

"What the heck"

"Choose me or food?" Noeul asked again. And the answer from peat made him speechless

"Eat it" said peat casually with an innocent face

This time Noeul was really cranky and annoyed. He rose from his seat and left peat alone.

Peat was just joking and intended to make fun of his chatty friend, he didn't know that his friend would really sulk like this.

He got up, took the unfinished chicken pieces and ran after his best friend.

>>>>>>>>>

Currently peat and noeul are sitting at one of the tables in the cafe, they are waiting for someone (noeul to be more precise).

"Euuull!!! Has he really come? We've been waiting here for over an hour"

"Be patient, he said he's already here. And if you want to order food, just order it, you don't have to get annoyed and put on a face sucks like that"

Noeul chuckled in annoyance and said embarrassed, he already knew and knew very well the expressions and behavior of his friends when he was hungry.

The proof, when he said that, Peat's face immediately brightened and called the waiters there.

Peat immediately ordered cake and other heavy food for himself. REMEMBER !!! It was all just for him, noeul just shook his head.

Noeul is happy when he sees Peat happy, he doesn't mind if the money runs out just to treat the child.

Noeul feels like a mother nurturing and caring for her child who is experiencing a growth period.

A few minutes later

"Excuse me,, eemmm noeul?"

Feeling his name being called, Noeul, who was focused on paying attention to Peat who was eating his food, now turned to the side and smiled awkwardly.

"Please sit phi boss" offered noeul to the man named boss

Boss nodded and smiled looking at noeul, then his eyes turned to peat who was focused on his food and didn't greet him.

"Ignore it, he's like that when he sees food" Noeul said he understood and the boss nodded again.

"Why phi?" Noeul asked when he saw the boss who was looking around earlier.

"Oo oohh__phi waiting for phi's friend, is that okay?" Boss said feeling bad.

"It's okay phi, then phi just order and order for friends too"

The two of them chatted casually while waiting for the boss' friend to come, their business was not finished because the money promised by the boss was with his friend.

"Boss"

Bossnoeul turned and found a handsome man, wearing a racer style jacket walking towards them with a smile.

"Here" said Prapai giving a check for 500 million to the boss.

"Phi prapai?" Noeul said making the two men in front of him turn their heads. One with a confused expression and the other with an unpredictable expression.

"Noeul?" Answer prapai.

"Oh, you two know each other?" Ask the boss again

"Yes, phi! At that time, phi pai had an accident because of my friend's carelessness __"

Noeul said and the boss nodded.

The three of them returned to chatting, discussing lectures and other problems.

Boss and noeul seemed to be getting closer that day and laughed a lot because of each other's jokes. As for prapai, he looked quiet and his eyes did not move in the slightest from the sweet man who was enjoying his food.

Even from the first time he came, Prapai didn't see the man raise his face just to say hello or anything.

when he heard a long sigh that came out of Peat's mouth, the three men who were there stopped their activities and stared at him.

"Are you full of peats?" Ask noeul like a mother.

"Uumm,, sleepy !!" Peat nodded, pursing his lips playfully. Don't forget her glazed eyes which add to her cuteness to 100%.

******************************************************************************************

Sudah tiga bulan berlalu sejak kejadian hari itu, sejak saat itu juga prapai selalu mencari sosok pria manis yang mengganggu pikirannya.

Prapai rela bolak-balik dari fakultasnya ke fakultas kedokteran yang berjarak cukup jauh ,hanya demi menemukan pria incarannya. Namun sayangnya ! Prapai bertemu dengannya.

Jangankan untuk bertemu, batang hidung pria itu saja tidak pernah ia lihat.

Demi bertemu dengan pria yang bernama peat itu, prapai rela panas-panasan dab rela di kerumuni dan di goda oleh para wanita dari fakultas kedokteran.

Pria itu juga bertanya pada sahabatnya yang bernama boss, ia bertanya soal peat atau noeul teman incarannya. Namun boss juga tidak mengetahuinya karena baik peat ataupun noeul tidak pernah datang ke bengkel milik boss.

Mereka hanya membayar biaya service motornya via transfer.

Prapai juga sudah menghubungi nomor yang peat berikan untuknya saat di rumah sakit, tapi pria itu tidak pernah menjawabnya.

"Pai" panggil seseorang

"Pai ?"

Masih belum mendapatkan respon dari si pemilik nama, orang itu mengusap dadanya agar sabar dan mencoba sekali lagi

"Prapai "

"AI SAT" teriak pria itu sudah tidak tahan.

Prapai sedikit berjingkat kaget dan menoleh pria itu, menatapnya dengan tatapan 'apaan sih'.

"Fokus pai fokus" ucap pria itu

"Aku sedang fokus dan kamu menggangguku ai boss"

"Jangan berbohong " ucap boss dan prapai yang mendengarnya kembali diam dan menatap lurus kedepan.

Boss sudah lelah dan kehilangan kesabaran, beruntung karena pria di depannya adalah sahabatnya kalau tidak boss akan menghajarnya saat itu juga.

Bukan tanpa alasan boss marah dan kesal, masalahnya ialah mereka saat ini sedang berada di arena trek (balapan) dan sebentar lagi giliran prapai .

Boss bukannya takut kalau temannya itu kalah karena ia sudah tau kemampuan dari pria itu. Mereka juga tidak akan rugi besar karena ini hanyalah permainan kecil dan sekedar latihan untuknya.

Boss takut dan khawatir kalau temannya akan kenapa-napa karena terus melamun dari tadi.

Dan jika itu terjadi, maka boss besar mereka yaitu tuan mile (ayah dari temannya) akan marah besar kalau ia tau anaknya kenapa- napa dan kalah sebelum bertanding besok malam.

"Sudah waktunya, bantu aku bersiap- siap" ucap prapai membuyarkan pikiran boss

"Tidak !! Lebih baik kita tidak ikut bertanding daripada kita membuat masalah besar" tolak boss dan mengambil kunci motor prapai

"Boss !! Ini bukan masalah besar, aku tidak melamun dan sadar seratus persen" Sahut prapai mencoba mengambil kunci motornya.

"Tidak pai, kebih baik kita pulang. Uang segini bukan apa- apa daripada terjadi sesuatu denganmu"

"Boss !! Tidak akan terjadi sesuatu dan juga ,aku sudah sering mengalaminya entah saat pertandingan ataupun jalan umum"

"Aku berjanji tidak akan membuatmu dalam masalah lagi okei ?( menatap boss dan menjulurkan tangannya untuk meminta kunci)"

"Kamu tau kan kalau aku pasti akan memenangkannya, jadi uangnya bisa kamu pakai untuk biaya ganti rugi ke pria itu"

"Nih" decak boss sebelum berakhir membantu prapai bersiap untuk pertandingan selanjutnya.

Kalau bukan karena hal genting, boss mana mau di suap oleh bocah yang lebih muda beberapa bulan darinya.

Boss bukan dari keluarga kurang mampu, hanya saja mendapatkan uang sebesar lima ratus juta dalam sehari sangat berat untuknya.

Kalau saja pria itu memberinya waktu 3 hari, boss pasti tidak akan kesulitan karena dalam 3 hari uang yang ia dapat dari tuan mile lebih dari itu.

Dan satu-satunya cara untuk mengatasi itu adalah dengan mengikuti pertandingan ini. Kalau prapai fokus dan menang, ia akan membayar ganti ruginya dan sisanya untuk ia tabung.

"Peat !! pulang kampus nantu kita ke cafe Axxxx ya "

"Tumben ? Biasanya mau langsung pulang ke apart" sahut peat heran.

"Ini soal mobil____"

"Oh iya, mobil kamu udah di service ? Parah ngga ?" Tanya peat memutus pembicaraan

"Belum !! Dan juga biaya service nya sangat mahal. Kalau aku minta ke papa pasti bakal kena marah dan di omelin 7 hari 7 malam"

Ucap noeul sedikit lesuh

"Iyalah, orang tua mana yang gak marah kalau tau anaknya kecelakaan dan di rawat selama 3 hari di rumah sakit ? Mana tu mobil juga pengeluaran terbaru"

Sahut peat dan terdengar seperti singgungan dan ucapan seolah mengatainya, membuat noeul menghentakkan kaki kesal.

Ia semakin menunjukkan kekesalannya saat pria yang duduk di sampingnya mengacuhkan dirinya dan fokus pada makanannya.

"Iiii iiihh peaatt !!!"

"Ada apa sih eul, cepat habiskan makanannya. Bentar lagi masuk" ucap peat melirik sebentar lalu kembali menyantap makanannya.

"Ckk iisssh,, temenin ya" pinta noeul lagi, ia tidak akan menyerah sampai pria itu menatakan iya.

"Ngapain sih ke sana ! Mending kita ke toko es cream"

"Peat !!! Astaga, apa di otak kamu hanya ada makanan ?" Tanya noeul kesal dan tidak habis pikir

"Tu tau"

"Aku atau makanan ?" Tanya noeul membuat peat menoleh kebingungan

"Apaan sih"

"Pilih aku atau makanan ?" Tanya noeul lagi. Dan jawaban dari peat membuatnya terdiam

"Makanan lah" ujar peat santai dengan wajah tanpa dosa

Kali ini noeul benar- benar ngambek dan kesal. Ia bangkit dari duduknya dan meninggalkan peat sendirian.

Peat hanya bercanda dan berniat untuk menjahili temannya yang cerewet itu, ia tidak tau kalau temannya akan benar- benar merajuk seperti ini.

Ia bangkit, mengambil potongan ayam yang belum habis lalu berlari menyusul sahabatnya.

>>>>>>>>>

Saat ini peat dan noeul sedang duduk di salah satu meja di cafe itu, mereka sedang menunggu seseorang (lebih tepatnya sih noeul).

"Euuull !!! Dia beneran dateng gak sih ? Kita udah sejam lebih loh menunggu di sini"

"Sabar peat, dia bilang dia sudah menuju ke sini. Dan juga kamu kalau mau pesan makan ya pesan aja, gak usah sok kesel dan masang wajah nyebelin kayak gitu"

Noeul berdecak kesal dan berucap jengah, ia sudah tau dan sangat hafal dengan ekspresi dan tingkah temannya kalau sedang lapar.

Buktinya, saat ia ngomong gitu wajah peat langsung berubah cerah dan memanggil waiters di sana.

Peat langsung memesan cake, dan makanan berat lainnya untuk dirinya sendiri. INGAT !!! Itu semua hanya untuknya, noeul hanya menggeleng.

Noeul senang kalau melihat peat senang, ia tidak keberatan kalau uangnya habis hanya untuk mentraktir anak itu.

Noeul merasa seperti seorang ibu yang mengasuh dan merawat anaknya yang mengalami masa pertumbuhan.

Beberapa menit kemudian

"Permisi,, eemmm noeul ?"

Merasa namanya di panggil, noeul yang tadinya fokus memperhatikan peat yang sedang menyantap makanannya kini menoleh ke samping dan tersenyum kikuk.

"Silakan duduk phi boss" tawar noeul kepada pria yang bernama boss

Boss mengangguk dan tersenyum menatap noeul, kemudian matanya beralih ke arah peat yang fokus dengan makanannya dan tidak menyapanya.

"Abaikan saja, dia memang seperti itu saat melihat makanan" noeul berucap paham dan boss kembali mengangguk.

"Kenapa phi ?" Tanya noeul saat melihat boss yang celingak- celinguk dari tadi.

"Oo oohh__phi lagi nunggu teman phi, tidak apa- apa kan ?" Ujar boss merasa tidak enak.

"Tidak apa- apa phi, kalau begitu phi pesan saja sekalian pesan untuk teman juga"

Mereka berdua mengobrol dengan santai sambil menunggu teman boss datang, urusan mereka belum selesai karena uang yang dijanjikan boss ada di temannya.

"Boss "

Bossnoeul menoleh dan mendapati seorang pria tampan ,memakai jaket ala pembalap berjalan kearah mereka dengan senyuman.

"Ini" ujar prapai memberikan cek senilai 500 juta kepada boss.

"Phi prapai ?" Ucap noeul membuat kedua pria di depannya menoleh. Yang satu dengan raut bingung dan yang satunya dengan raut wajah yang tidak dapat di prediksi.

"Noeul ?" Jawab prapai.

"Loh, kalian saling kenal ?" Tanya boss lagi

"Iya phi ! Waktu itu phi pai kecelakaan karena kecerobohan teman saya__"

Noeul berucap dan diangguki oleh boss. Ketiganya kembali mengobrol, membahas masalah perkuliahan maupun lainnya.

Boss dan noeul terlihat semakin akrab hari itu juga dan banyak tertawa karena candaan masing- masing. Sedangkan prapai, ia terlihat pendiam dan matanya tidak beralih sedikitpun dari pria manis yang sedang asik menyantap makanannya.

Bahkan sejak awal dia datang, prapai tidak melihat pria itu mengangkat wajahnya hanya untuk sekedar menyapa atau apapun.

saat mendengar sebuah helaan nafas panjang yang keluar dari mulut peat membuat ketiga pria yang ada di sana menghentikan kegiatannya dan menatapnya.

"Udah kenyang peat ?" Tanya noeul seperti seorang ibu.

"Uumm,, ngantuk !!" Peat mengangguk, mengerucutkan bibirnya lucu. Tak lupa mata sayu-nya yang menambah keimutannya menjadi 100 %
