Nothing was really planned—we just let Sunday night take Cathéct’s Sui and Bosche’s Leesol wherever it led us. We wandered through the crowded night market, stopping every few minutes for snacks we definitely didn’t really need.
“Beli es kul-kul itu yuk? Mau nggak?” Sui asked, already pointing at es kul-kul market. “Eh, yuk kayak enak” Leesol replied.

Somewhere between all the laughter, the countless photos, and the smell of street food trailing behind us from one stall to the next, the rain started pouring down out of nowhere. We ran under the nearest awning, but then Leesol suddenly pointed toward a nearby seller. “Eh, lihat payungnya, yang lampu itu.” Leesol said. “Jangan bilang kamu mau beli?” Sui reply, then Leesol said “Kenapa nggak? Lucu kok”. And just like that, we bought it.

Five minutes later, we walked home under a glowing umbrella we didn’t really need, acting as if it were the best purchase we’d ever made. A little silly, and somehow the funniest thing that night.
