Ana and the app

Ana dan aplikasi kencan

Lucía lives in Mexico City. She is thirty-four. She is an accountant in a big office.

Lucía tinggal di Mexico City. Dia berumur tiga puluh empat tahun. Dia akuntan di kantor besar.

All day, she works with numbers. Numbers on paper, numbers on her computer. She is good with numbers.

Sepanjang hari, dia bekerja dengan angka. Angka di kertas, angka di komputernya. Dia pintar berhitung.

At six o’clock, she takes the metro home. Her apartment is small and quiet.

Pada pukul enam, dia naik metro pulang. Apartemennya kecil dan tenang.

She eats dinner alone. She watches TV alone. She goes to bed at ten.

Dia makan malam sendiri. Dia menonton TV sendiri. Dia tidur pada pukul sepuluh.

On Friday evening, her friend Ana comes. Ana has a bottle of wine and a big smile.

Pada Jumat malam, temannya Ana datang. Ana membawa sebotol anggur dan senyum lebar.

“How is your week?” asks Ana.

“Bagaimana minggumu?” tanya Ana.

“Good. Lots of numbers.”

“Baik. Banyak angka.”

“And your evenings?”

“Dan malam-malammu?”

“My evenings are quiet. I have my TV and my tea.”

“Malam-malamku tenang. Aku punya TV dan tehku.”

Ana looks at her. “Lucía, you are thirty-four. You are not eighty. Give me your phone.”

Ana melihat dia. “Lucía, kamu berumur tiga puluh empat tahun. Kamu bukan delapan puluh tahun. Beri aku ponselmu.”

“My phone? Why?”

“Ponselku? Kenapa?”

“Because you need a dating app.”

“Karena kamu butuh aplikasi kencan.”

“A dating app? No, no, no. I am an accountant. An accountant doesn’t do dating apps.”

“Aplikasi kencan? Tidak, tidak, tidak. Aku seorang akuntan. Akuntan tidak memakai aplikasi kencan.”
