**************************
A very bright morning. A ray of sunshine came in from the window of Khanza's room. Khanza narrowed his eyes due to glare exposed to sunlight.
"Come, wake up, baby. Morning already. Take a shower and breakfast. Didn't you have to work this morning" Khanza's mother said.
"Oh, Yes Ma'am. I'll take a shower soon" Khanza said.
After bathing and dressing, Khanza helped his mother put plates and glasses in their warteg. Their warteg is indeed fused with the house. But limited to the door to the house. So that there is no access to be too free for outsiders to get in and out of the warteg to the house. So the warteg special uses his own door outside.
"Here, breakfast there. You can make these plates and glasses yourself" said Mother.
"It's okay Mom. Just bringing this, it's not so hard. Today what's the menu you're cooking ?" Ask Khanza.
"As always, baby. There is soto ayam, oseng-oseng tempe, Sambal fish, Chicken roasted the same eggplant balado" said Mama Khanza.
(Okay, Author gets hungry by himself while typing this 😂).
"Ooh" Khanza said.
"Mom don't be too tired to work. Getting sick again. Khanza get into the house first huh, ma'am. Want to eat breakfast continue to go to work" said Khanza.
"Yes, Honey. Be careful" said Mrs Khanza.
Khanza who had finished breakfast immediately went rushing to his workplace.
In the morning, Khanza works at a coffee shop until 4pm. While returning from there, Khanza immediately taught private lessons for two hours.
The coffee shop where Khanza works includes an elite coffee shop that most of the upper class drink coffee here.
This place is always crowded with visitors. Be it adults and school children and college children who just sit around drinking coffee, making this place as a hangout for their gang.
The clock has shown at 14:00 noon. Khanza who was delivering a coffee order at the cafe, saw the figure of a woman he was very familiar with. The woman was sitting there looking at the menu list she wanted to order.
Nanda ? What is he doing here alone ? Make my working mood go away...
Khanza went straight into the cafe and looked for Syifa. Syifa is a close friend of Khanza who both work here. The house of Syifapun is not so far from the house of Khanza. They have been friends for a long time. When Khanza occupied the new house contracted with his mother. Syifa and her father, came to help them move. Since then they have always been together. The same school as Sekola Mideast (SMA), and until now, working in the same place.
"Fa, Help me dong. Please !" Khanza.
"Help what, Za ?" Ask Syifa.
"That's my half-brother outside. The truth is I'm lazy to meet him. It can be as long as He is still here, You are delivering coffee orders that are outside the terrace, And I will deliver those inside the cafe" said Khanza.
"Your stepbrother is here ? Which one is Za ? Let me tell you He's gone" Syifa said.
"That one, Fa. The one with the white shirt. Who was sitting alone" Khanza said, pointing at Nanda from afar.
"Yes, your stepbrother is very beautiful yes Za" Syifa said.
"Yes, she's beautiful. He was very good to me too. But whoever has anything to do with the Dwitama family, I don't want any more contact with them" Khanza said.
"Yes, Udah. I'm ahead then. You deliver the coffee inside" Syifa said.
Khanza.
**********************
While outside the terrace, Nanda who was sitting alone was approached by a man who had just arrived.
"Have been waiting for him ?" Vino asked who took a chair and sat across from him, in front of Nanda.
"Not really. I also just came" Nanda said with a smile.
Nanda called the waiter and ordered coffee for the two of them.
"Thank you, Vin. Already made it come. Though as PresDir you must be very busy now" said Nanda.
"No problem. There is a handle on the company" said Vino.
"So about our cooperation project..." Unfinished Vino finished his words, Nanda cut off his words.
"Gold, Vin..Can we not talk about work now ?" Nanda.
Vino was dumbfounded, and finally nodded.
"OKs. Sorry, I thought you had brought me here to discuss the work matter" Vino said.
"No. I brought you here because I wanted to be friends with you. And know more about you. Can we be friends ?" Nanda asked with her soft and gentle voice.
Vino was silent for a moment. Trying to digest every word Nanda makes.
"Yes, Of course" Vino replied doubtfully.
They ended up talking personal matters. The active Nanda asked, occasionally smiling at Vino's answer.
For some reason every time I see him smile, my heart is calm
Inner Nanda.
Drt.drttt...
Suddenly Nanda's phone rang.
Nanda picked up the phone. He was seen chatting seriously with someone over there.
"Ok, okay. I'll be there in a minute" Nanda said, turning off her phone.
"Vin, I seem to have to go back to the Company. There are documents I need to take care of right away" Nanda said.
"Ok, No problem" Vino said.
"It's nice talking to you, Vin. See you soon, yes" said Nanda, who smiled sweetly.
"Yes, be careful" Vino said.
Vino is still there. He finished his remaining drink. The phone call on her phone made her sit back to pick her up.
He picked up the phone from his business partner. They discussed the business cooperation on the phone.
While some college kids who just came home from the campus were sitting near Vino's desk. There were about 6 of them and they were all women. They unceasingly glanced at Vino who was sitting alone and engrossed in calling.
"Tia look at it. What a handsome guy sitting there" said one of the women.
"OMG, my type is really" said the other.
Tia glanced at the man her friends were referring to.
"Oh, yes it's handsome. Keep looking smothered again" said Tiara Dwitama.
Suddenly his eyes were turned aside on the figure of the woman he knew. He saw his stepbrother was busy delivering coffee orders from table to table.
Turns out she works here as a waiter. There will be an interesting show soon...
Tiara called the waiter asking for a menu list, she also gave money and whispered to the waiter to ask Khanza to deliver her order.
Khanza was happy when Syifa told him that Nanda was gone. Back pouting as the cafe manager forced her to drop drinks at Tiara's table.
"You're the one who drove him, Za. They asked you to drive him straight. They are our VIP guests" the manager said.
If only He had not needed this job, He would have rejected the request of his manager just now.
Khanza knows Tiara well. Last time, when he set foot in the Dwitama park. When asking for money Hospital fee for his mother. Her stepmother and Tiara, her half-sister was the one who had been insulting her there. They greatly lowered Khanza's self-esteem at the time. Perhaps of all his half-brothers, only Tiara inherited his mother's evil nature.
With a heavy heart Khanza stepped in to deliver the cappucino order to Tiara's table. As he approached the table, his friend Tiara was ready to extend his legs against Khanza's. Khanza, who was carrying a tray of drinks, almost fell down, but he swiftly held the table. The tinsel containing ice cappucino spilled over Tiara and her friends' clothes.
Tiara shouted in annoyance.
"Argghhh.." cried Tiara.
His screams invited the visitors there. Including the Bu Manager cafe who immediately came to hear Tiara's screams.
"Sorry, Miss. Forgive our servant's mistake. We'll clean it up soon. Khanza let's apologize to this Miss" said Bu Manager.
"I don't want to, Mom. I'm innocent, he did it on purpose. He deliberately told his friend to block my leg so I fell" Khanza said.
"Yes, Mom. Khanza can't be like that. I know Khanza very well. He will not do such a thing" Syifa said in defence of Khanza.
"You think I'm crazy to let myself get soaked like this. Do you know how much this shirt I'm wearing is worth ? I don't think your years of salary here will be enough to pay either" Tiara yelled at Khanza.
Bu Manager is approaching Khanza.
"Come, Khanza quickly apologized. You don't want to get fired for this" threatened the Manager.
If only Khanza hadn't remembered the cost of buying his mother's medicine every month. Khanza was very reluctant to subdue himself to apologize to this beautiful girl in front of him.
He looked around. Seeing everyone looking at him. It was like watching a show. And waiting for the next show.
Khanza dancing Long breath. With a heavy heart He obeyed the Manager's words.
"Sorry" Khanza said.
Tiara grinned.
"What ? I didn't hear it. Say it louder and call me Big Miss !" Tiara.
Khanza took a breath.
"I'm sorry, big lady !" Khanza.
Tiara returned grinning. Not quite satisfied with the action, He went back to acting.
"I will sincerely forgive you, If you kneel before me right now. New I'll assume this matter is clear !" Tiara.
Everyone there was shocked to hear it. Didn't expect the little girl's request to go too far.
Vino who had seen from the beginning of the incident, immediately ended his chatter on the phone. He immediately stood up, wanting to help explain the real matter and help Khanza. But suddenly He stopped his steps when he saw the incident that had just happened.
Byurr !
Khanza took one of the glasses that still contained a cappucino and splashed it on Tiara's clothes.
"Armghhh ! What are you doing !" Shouted Tiara.
"What am I doing ? I just do it according to your story. It's a pity that I didn't do it right, when you told me like that to Bu Manager and the people who are here" Khanza said.
Everyone was whispering to see Khanza's behavior just now. There was also a small laugh seeing Tiara getting drenched in Khanza just now.
Tiara felt very embarrassed. It was like losing face at the moment. Unfortunately, he could not say anything more.
"Khanza you're on pec.." Not yet finished Bu Manager finished his words, Khanza immediately interrupted him.
"Fired means ? Okay ! It's better I'm fired than I have to indulge this crazy, little girl and indulge your will which is more concerned with money than truth" Khanza said as he left the place.
Vino who saw the incident was stunned.
A strong girl like her, did not seem to need any help.
Vino rushed home after finishing his cappuccino. He walked towards the parking lot where he parked the car.
In the parking lot, he saw Khanza who was near his car sitting on the sidewalk. The girl looked down not showing her face at all. But Vino could tell that it was the girl who had just been fired earlier for looking at the clothes she was wearing just now, exactly the same as the girl was wearing now. Sounds a little bit of him.
Vino took some tissue in his car. And gave it to Khanza.
"Get it, and wipe your tears. Don't cry here. Aren't you a hotshot" Vino said.
Khanza looked up at the voice just now. Her eyes are red. He stood up and did not take at all the tissue given by Vino.
"Who is crying ? I'm not crying. My tears are too precious for that girl !" Khanza.
Vino smiled.
"The eyes have turned red like that, still say not to cry ? What a stubborn girl. Why can He slander you like that, until you lose your job. Do you know him ?" Ask Vino.
Khanza. He stared at Vino. For a while they looked at each other for quite a long time.
What is this girl thinking now.. (Vino Inner)
"Why do you always interfere in other people's business ? You little Kepo !" Said Khanza who just remembered that the man in front of him is the man he met the other day at the pharmacy.
What ? Kepo ? No one's ever told me kepo before (Batin Vino)
Suddenly Khanza's speech just made Vino schok hear it.
"You're a really bad girl ! People are sympathetic to you you said kepo. Actually I'm not a guy who likes to snatch.." Not yet finished Vino finished his speech, suddenly Khanza cut off his speech.
"Gosh, it's 4 o'clock past, I'm too late for work !" He said while glancing at his watch. Then he left while running to stop the motorcycle.
Vino could only gawk at Khanza's behavior just now. It's the second time, he's been stalked by Khanza.
"Basarly girl ! I just sympathize with you not kepo like you said !" Vino Murmur.
Late to work ? Hasn't he been fired ? how much does he actually have to do ? Ah, stupid time. Why should I bother thinking about it. What is obviously unlucky is the fate of the person who hired such a fierce and stubborn girl.. Argh.. !
