26. A Similar Love Story

" Well, it's a pity not to be able to meet today, but since then Bian forced me to come along to get acquainted with you two".

I deliberately pretended not to know Yoga, the three of them also did not know if I knew Yoga. But obviously I will unmask the real Yoga to his friends and also his future wife. But how, I haven't thought about it.

It was just as if this heart was not willing to see a good girl like Utari marry a deceitful man like Yoga. It's not that I'm jealous and envious, why don't I get married to Yoga, not because of that. More to the feeling of concern and pity for his future wife who does not know their true character.

" I'm sorry, I'm aware that Steve is again developing his business, so busy continuing, even though it is close to the wedding day, but still busy working" Utari apologized for representing her future husband.

" Then we go back to the restaurant first, Ri. Greet Steve when you meet", Riko said goodbye to return to the restaurant. Lunch hours like this are usually crowded restaurants. And the three of us should be back soon.

" Yes, I must say, this I also have to go back to the hospital, thank you for your help".

We walked towards the parking lot together, as I walked parallel to him, I deliberately asked Utari something.

" Where do you and your future husband know each other?, do you schoolmates like me and Bian?".

Actually I was curious where Yoga found a nice and beautiful girl who wanted to be his wife.

Utari immediately told me voluntarily.

" In fact we used to be one campus, I knew Steve because he was very popular on campus, he was tall, handsome and active in the organization, a lot of students who liked him, he was very popular, including me who was also amazed at him, but from my knowledge he never dated. I don't know what the reason is".

" And after we graduated, there was an event at the hospital where I worked, a kind of family gathering so, Steve's mother who was a midwife at the hospital where I worked invited her family, and so did my mother, likewise with me who invited my father and mother in the family gathering, I never thought if my father knew Steve's father who was a TNI".

" Since that meeting our two families became close, and our parents agreed to unite us both, of course I couldn't possibly refuse. Even I was very happy to be Steve's future wife, my friends were surprised and congratulated me when yesterday our wedding invitation was shared, we were not engaged for 3 months, not long, but why wait so long, we both are both mature and old enough, we also have a well-established job".

" I felt so lucky and unexpected that a college idol would be my husband".

I am very concerned about the false happiness that Utari is feeling. She does not know Yoga and her family well.

Or maybe the attitude of the Yoga family is always good in those who are fellow rich and ranking people?. Maybe they treated me badly because I came from a different class than them.

" You guys are so excited to talk, you can continue sometime, right?, because now we have to go back to the restaurant first", Bian pulled my hand and grabbed my shoulder closer to him.

" Oh yes-yes, sorry yes, thank the girls if you have been chatting it must have forgotten the time. I am very happy to be acquainted with Raya, you are a friend who is fun to talk to. If next time there is a chance to meet again, we continue the conversation yes Ra...".

I nodded in agreement to Utari's wishes, "of course, happily, see you next time".

Utari got in her car, and so did I, Bian and Riko, we got into Bian's car.

While on the way I accidentally searched for information about Yoga while he was in High School and in college.

" Is it that cool as the future husband Utari?, he seems to really like the matchmaking done by both their parents?", asked me deliberately fishing for Riko or Bian to tell him about Yoga.

" Of course, because the four of us are called the Indonesian version of F4. Me, Riko, Steve, and Haidar, we became idols both when we were in High School and when we were in college" Bian said.

" The love story of Bian and Steve is somewhat similar, because they both have first love when in Junior High, you are Bian's first love, and when High School and college, Bian never dated, as did Steve, he also said he had fallen in love with his first girlfriend. Though Steve was dating when he was in Junior High, but it seems his feelings for the girlfriend have been very deep, because Steve also never dated either at High School or college. That's why I said the stories of the two of them look alike".

I listened to Riko who told me about Yoga and Bian in High School and college. But my heart just so feel not calm, so Yoga does not lie if all this time he is not related to other women.

Is it true that he loves me so much?, if yes, why would Yoga be in a match with Utari?, after listening to Riko's story it makes so many questions appear in my mind.

Bian's voice broke my daydream.

" I got my first love, and will marry her. My parents gave my blessing, and so did the Royal parents. As for Steve, he said his parents did not approve of his relationship with his first girlfriend. Instead of matching Steve with Utari, and the parents of his first girlfriend also do not like it, even Steve said he was expelled by the mother of his first love", said Bian while stroking my head, lovingly.

" Actually Utari is not ugly anyway, he is also a pinter, can to fix the offspring married to Steve who is also quite cool, but if Steve was forced to worry that his mother can act determinedly, but if Steve was forced to, just not happy, because he cannot unite with the people he actually loves" said Bian.

Our conversation stopped as we arrived at the restaurant. I got out of the car, and so did Bian and Riko.

" It's really what you say, bro.., I also saw Steve was not as happy as you, he was forced, the proof is that he was rich not eager to take care of their wedding preparations, and so on, unlike Utari who is so eager to take care of all the wedding preparations, Utari seems very happy in a match with Steve".

Riko continued the conversation, as we walked into the restaurant.

I immediately broke away with Bian and Riko who were walking towards their room.

" I help the others immediately, it seems like the other friends are quite busy" I said as I walked into the kitchen.

Riko and Bian nodded and were still chatting continuing on, I was actually curious about their chat, but I couldn't possibly relax like the two of them, a boss and manager. I'm just a waitress here.

" Just back Ra?, please deliver the order at table 28, Ra, I want to do table 13 first", Rita immediately split the task to me, Ra, I know my friends are in a keteter because I've been gone since. But no one dared to protest, because the boss asked me to go out of the restaurant.

No one dared to comment as well, let alone ask where and when. Everyone kept quiet while busy with their work. I should know myself, don't relax. And immediately join the friends who are busy serving the restaurant visitors who are a lot.

Until 3 o'clock, the guests look a little quiet, we waitresses and chefs can breathe a little relieved, because they can rest.

" In fact you were invited to a meeting where the hell is Ra?, how long?", Rita sat next to me in the guest chair, because the remaining guests only stayed a few tables. We just wait for them to finish eating and clean up the dirty dishes they ate.

" From the XYZ hotel, the largest hotel in the city, have you ever been there?", I asked Rita.

Rita seemed to shake her head, we from among ordinary people had never entered into a magnificent star hotel, because our lives were busy with work in restaurants and rest at home after returning home. Because of the tiredness that we have to heal by resting.

If there is time off and most streets to the square, park, or GOR, never play around to the hotel. Why to the hotel?, sleeping at home for free can be restful especially if you feel very tired after a day of work.

" You meet the same guy who pesen cuisine from our restaurant for his wedding?, I hear the guy's young business man, and the girl's dentist in the local hospital".

" It's lucky Ra. why always, rich people match with rich people. Try there are business people who come to this restaurant and fall in love with me, like in the soap operas or FTV's", Rita began to fantasize, victims of soap operas.

Hearing Rita's complaint, I became laughing myself.

" Therefore, you and the beautiful if you want to go to work, so that if there are visitors who are not eating at this restaurant, can immediately fall in love at first sight with you".

I left Rita who was still sitting with her face bent and lips manyuned, because I had to clean the table of former visitors who just came out.

" There wash your face, let it be a bit slimy face, do not bend it continuously like that", I chanted as it passed through where Rita sat.

Rita is the closest to me among the friends of other restaurant employees, because we are both waiters and the location of our house is also not too far away, so occasionally play at home. Although Rita is two years younger than me, but we still look careless. What we talked about was always connected, it's just that Rita likes to watch soap operas like a mother, and if she's telling it a scene on the soap opera I just listen, I just listen, at home, I rarely watch television.

The television used to be controlled by Juna, and now it is controlled by Shaka. That's why I rarely watch television.
