Ana dan aplikasi kencan

Ana and the app

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Bagaimana minggumu?” tanya Ana.

“How is your week?” asks Ana.

“Baik. Banyak angka.”

“Good. Lots of numbers.”

“Dan malam-malammu?”

“And your evenings?”

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

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

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

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

“Ponselku? Kenapa?”

“My phone? Why?”

“Karena kamu butuh aplikasi kencan.”

“Because you need a dating app.”

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

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