At night, Rania was still shivering in the cold. He followed Davina's words. He remembered his courage this afternoon when he was in the bathroom.
At that time he did not have the intention to clean himself, so just an experiment, he then went to the bathroom to feel the temperature of the water.
When his hand had just touched the water, it was as if he had been stung. How not, he did not expect the water in the small-sized bathtub was so cold as the water he used to store in his refrigerator.
"It's like taking a shower from the refrigerator water, like that" Rania said.
He wondered if he should clean up or not. But when he remembered Davina's words, he seemed to have no other choice. Let him feel the cold more than the cold for hours.
"When this is the case, I have no other choice."
Rania went back out to get her toiletries.
...***...
"Huft, despite bathing and wearing thick clothes, I still feel cold" said Rania swiping her palms to feel warm. He touched her cheek "heeem, warm."
Rania then get ready again because soon they will be out for dinner as well as out taking a walk to enjoy the atmosphere of this city at night. Finished getting ready, Rania went out of the room to meet Khanif and Davina who were waiting for him.
"I'm ready" said Rania.
Hearing Rania say that, Khanif walked out and was followed by Davina and Rania.
"Aren't you cold?" rania asked Davina who looked ordinary.
"It's cold, but I'm used to it. Wait a few moments, you will get used to it. I used to be like you, but I'm more excited."
"Well!" Rania does not believe Davina's last words.
"hem, yes. It used to be the first time to come here when Mr. Khanif had just visited the location he wanted to be used as a villa. At that time we were also three, the same secretary of Mr. Khanif before. My dress is even bigger than you. Maybe that's why I'm getting used to it." Davina then showed me her picture the first time she came here. "See."
"Well! This is your name like buying clothes in a store," said Rania when she saw a photo of Davina using various kinds of warm clothes. He could clearly see because the clothes were clearly visible in Davina's slim body.
"Yes, you're right. My first mistake, I didn't have time to find information about this city. So, yeah, that's how I used to be."
Rania nodded. They also accelerated their footsteps towards the car that would take them around the city. Arriving outside, Rania saw Khanif was sitting on the wheel.
"The driver?"
"The father just brought us here. The rest, we use this car ourselves."
Rania nodded again. They entered and sat in the back seat at Khanif's request. Not even a few seconds, Khanif went back inside the inn. It made Davina and Rania feel astonished.
But when he saw Khanif back with a knit scarf in his hand, making Davina then smile.
"Why, ma'am."
"Look, Mr. Khanif went back inside for just a knit scarf."
"For whom, eh?"
"You will know too."
Rania is confused by Davina's enigmatic words. But the moment Khanif got back in the car, confusion increasingly struck him when Khanif thrust the knitting scarf at him.
"For you. Wear it, a night like this must be getting cold."
Seeing Rania not responding in surprise, Davina took the knit scarf, and put it on Rania's neck.
"Let's not be cold."
"Either. You don't have to be sad."
Just as the car drove away from the inn, Khanif started to reopen his voice. He wanted to ask them what they wanted for dinner tonight.
Rania turned to Davina, as if to say that Davina only chose to eat where because Davina knows this area better than she does.
Understanding Rania's views on her, Davina told Khanif, "we eat in an ordinary place sir. I'm sure Rania will love the food there."
"All right."
In her heart, Rania smiled. He didn't expect Khanif to be so different tonight. Ordinary Khanif behaved unwillingly to be denied and acted arbitrarily. But now, Khanif even followed Davina's words.
"Do they have more relationships than secretaries?" guess Rania in heart.
Really Rania doesn't want to be the one to want to know everything about other people. These are Khanif and Davina. But if it was like this, even Rania who did not want to be suspicious became suspicious.
Rania pensively for a moment. He then turned to look at the middle glass of the car and accidentally met the eyes of Khanif who was also looking at the middle glass. Like not wanting to budge, Rania still saw Khanif through the middle glass. While Khanif chose to break it first rather than make them wretched.
Not long after, they had arrived in front of the restaurant referred to by Davina. When Rania just set foot in front of the restaurant, Rania was stunned when reading the food menu available there.
Rania was interested in seeing it a lot. However, if given his health that would be disrupted, it seemed that his interest had gone somewhere.
"Come, Rania."
Rania heard Davina's words. With no interest, Rania also followed the footsteps of Davina and Khanif who had entered the special seafood restaurant.
As Rania went inside, a man stared fixedly at Rania without blinking. But Rania still did not realize it. Rania continues to follow Khanif and Davina. While the man continued to see Rania until he was sure that the woman he was seeing was really the person he knew. Wrong, even well known. Until Rania sat down, the man's gaze could not be separated from Rania.
Rania, however, was not aware of it. After a while, the waiter of this seafood restaurant came to give them the menu book. After giving it away, the waiter left them again to give his customers time to order food according to their taste.
Rania sat in silence. He did not know what to order, when the menu book was in his hands.
Really, it's like a dead flea if it's faced with the type of seafood food. Over the past few years, he has stopped eating any seafood. Unless he is eager or just trying to eliminate the taste. But this time he was not interested. How inviting her appetite was, Rania remained uninterested. Even if just try.
He remained silent looking at the various types of food in the menu book when the waiter asked him.
Seeing that Rania was silent, Davina touched Rania's hand intending to resuscitate her at once
calling her, "Rania, what do you want to eat?" tanyakanya.
"You guys eat, I'm still a little full" said Rania refused subtly.
This time Khanif intervened in persuading, "message it, even if you eat it a little later. It's not good to sleep with a hungry stomach."
"No sir. Thank you for your words, but you're the one who ordered."
Rania refused it. The man who had been watching Rania from the moment he entered until he sat down came to them.
"Excuse me" said the man.
Rania who felt familiar with this voice, then looked up to see it and smiled when she found out that her guess was right. He said, "sister Rey."
