Chapter 4. Met The Ex-Love

Arjoona invites David to eat at one of the fast-food restaurants, so they don't have too long queues. After paying and bringing the meal, Joona looked for a seat near the entrance. David was waiting with a smile for his lunch.

But Joona's smile did not last long. When he was about to eat, his eyes caught the figure of someone he had missed all this time. His ex-girlfriend was seen waiting in line alone. Joona's eyes did not go away from the girl he had been dating for more than 4 years. David, who was eating, saw Joona had not started eating yet. He touched Joona's arm, asking what was wrong. Joona just shook his head and smiled softly. David looked back and saw the figure Joona saw, and he snorted in annoyance.

"Why do you still think about that girl!" said David irritatedly.

"I can't get rid of her. David." David snorted again in annoyance. His boss is too heartbroken. Even though they broke up more than 7 months ago, he still hasn't moved on.

"Move on, bro, she just left you for another man, what would you expect?" David is getting annoyed. Arjoona didn't seem to have heard what David said. Instead, he got up and walked towards Dessy Anggraini, the woman who had broken his heart. The flabbergasted David widened his eyes and turned to follow Joona's direction. He was even more annoyed to see Joona, who seemed to lose control of himself because of Dessy.

"Hi," said Joona to Dessy, who stood up. Dessy turned and smiled sweetly half mockingly. Her ex-boyfriend is still like an ant following sweet everywhere.

"Hi Arjoona, you are here?" Arjoona smiled kindly in return for Dessy's smile.

"Yes, I was having lunch, how are you, we haven't met for a long time." Arjoona said as if he is bewitched. David shook his head and nearly pounded the table. He dislikes Dessy the most, especially after being caught cheating behind Joona and choosing her secret lover, who is more prosperous.

"I'm fine, I want to have lunch too." Dessy replied in a slightly sassy tone. She glanced behind Joona and looked sarcastically at David, who gave her a sneer.

"I didn't know you were still friends with poor people like him," said Dessy mockingly. Arjoona just sighed.

"You have to change, Arjoona. Looks like you are the same as before, are you still rapping?" Dessy continued again. Arjoona nodded slowly to her while she snorted sarcastically. Dessy does not like Arjoona's profession as a rapper. According to her, being an underground musician like that will not lead to success. It's just a waste of time because the income he gets from being a rapper and songwriter doesn't even reach a quarter of Dessy's salary as a model.

Not long after, a man came over to Dessy and Arjoona, who were still talking in the queue.

"Hi honey, sorry you have to queue without me?" said the man and then kissed Dessy on her cheek. Arjoona, who saw, could only swallow bitterly. The man then saw Arjoona and asked who Dessy was.

"Just an acquaintance, his name is Arjoona Harristian." Arjoona sighed and was forced to shake hands, introducing himself. After nodding a few times, Joona finally walked back to his chair. David could only shake his head at Joona's behavior.

"How long do you want to be like this?" Arjoona didn't answer and just took the cola and drank it slowly.

"She already betrayed you Bro! stop being a fool, just find another girl!"

"It's not that easy, David, she's my first girlfriend." Arjoona defended himself.

"Yes, I know, but there are many women who have a crush on you but you rejected them, instead, you're chasing her." David shook his head in disbelief.

"I still don't understand.Am I wrong? why did she leave me for that guy?" Arjoona still hasn't taken his eyes off Dessy and her intimate partner.

"The clear reason is money. If you are rich she won't leave you, Dude. Many women like her in the street, you don't need to chase after that cheap chick like that"

"David!" scolded Arjoona while shaking his head.

"I'm sorry, I am irritated for what she was done for you, after all, you are not ugly, you 're handsome, exotic I may say." Arjoona smiled and chuckled. David laughed too.

"It's not easy for me to forget her, David, She was my girlfriend since I had my master until four years, I hope you concede." David nodded.

"I know it's not easy, but you have to move on, if you are stil like this, I will curse you that you can't be away from pretty girls forever." Arjoona frowned.

"What kind of curse?"

"Curse of love, hahahaha." Arjoona smiled even wider at David's strange chatter. He can always make a sad Arjoona smile again.

After lunch, Arjoona turned to his routine. He tried to remain on completing his work and ending them in the afternoon. Not directly returning home, Arjoona has a schedule to perform at the club tonight. He went straight to the Anthem, a hip hop club on the city's outskirts.

Arjoona took his backpack from the car before entering the club from the back door. Greeting some people until he got into the changing room. He started changing his shirt to an oversized shirt while ruffling his hair several times. In front of the mirror, Joona took some breaths before he finally came out and was about to perform.

Arjoona has been waiting for the DJ, who always plays the beat as his tandem. The fans started to gather when Joona was about to perform on stage. Arjoona, the rapper, is loved by most of the guests. Not rarely, he sometimes invited one of the visitors to come on stage with him. This time, a pretty girl swayed following the hip hop beat with Arjoona's style. He also hardly teased her body and hand gestures.

As the night went on, the hip-hop beat got heavier. The mix of RnB music to rock made all the crowd jump and sing to each other. And Arjoona continues to spoil all visitors by collaborating with other rappers.

After Arjoona performed, the DJ, named Gentala, remained to play remixes of music and songs. After high fiving ​​and shoulder bumping, the DJ, Arjoona, stepped off the stage to the usual high praise. He was tired and sweating but still smiling.
