I Found Love With You
146. The Cafe

“Yuk, we go now!” bring Sadiyah.

“Teteh no change of clothes?”

“Malays. This is enough too. If you are beautiful, you may be raging. You don't seem to know that your brother is acute jealousy.”

“Yes too anyway. No grooming, Tetah is beautiful like this.”

“Nah kan.”

“Teteh has taken a shower right?”

“Already on Len. Time to go, I don't shower first. Aa can be angry if Teteh does not shower.”

“Aa is working again in Jakarta.”

“Eh, yes too. You may not know either. It is customary, there is Aa here or not, Teteh feels Aa exists.”

Alena giggled at Sadiyah's words. He felt that Kagendra and Sadiyah were indeed a true couple.

“Teteh felt forced not to follow Aa's strange and overly disciplined habits?”

“At first forced because Teteh worried Aa angry or disappointed if Teteh did not obey him but over time, the habit of Aa became the habit of Teteh as well as the habit of Teteh became a habit of Aa too. This is one of the dynamics involved in a marriage. You must understand the habits of Atep as well as Atep who must understand your habits so that there is no muddle in your household later.”

“Wedding Aa with Teteh initially also kisruh.”

“He-he-he. Yes too. Now only Teteh can speak wisely. If we talk first, maybe Teteh will not dare to talk that wise,” said Sadiyah while giggling.

“Then Aa terrible yes, Tea?”

“At that time, Teteh and Aa you did not know each other. We do not love each other so it is difficult for us to harmonize every difference. Not to mention her first love Aa who came to disturb.”

“Maafin Aa,” says Alena watered.

“Iiih you do not need to apologize for the mistake of your Aa. After all, Teteh and Aa you have forgiven each other. Now you focus on your wedding plans. Before you get married you already love each other so there should be no problem. The name of the wedding will not run smoothly forever but Teteh believes you and Atep are adults and can certainly solve every problem you face with a cold head. Don't be like Teteh's wedding and A Endra.”

“But you guys are now happy, right?”

“Yes, very happy. But the storm that hit us at the beginning of the marriage was very heavy. Both Teteh and A Endra are equally injured and it is not easy to come to terms with each other's wounds.”

“Lena understands, Tea. Lena did not know how much Teteh had to bear the wound alone especially when Teteh was containing Aras and Aris. Maybe Teteh did not know how to suffer Aa at that time. Lena is witness to how Aa is dealing with everything. In retrospect, Lena felt amazed Aa could make peace with her injuries. From childhood Aa has suffered with all the trauma she experienced plus by the pain of the death of Teh Iyah, complete already suffering Aa.”

“But A strong male Endra. The proof is now that he's okay, right?”

“Iya anyway.” Alena replied while giggling. “Very strong even to make Teteh pregnant again, twins anyway.”

“Aduh...” strangled Alena as Sadiyah threw the seat cushion and hit her head.

“Yuk, go. If later chat here later too late to the cafe.”

They went in Sadiyah's car with Alena as the driver and Sadiyah sitting on the side seat.

“Aras and Aris won't be upset we didn't invite?”

“Gak. They're back at school.”

“Anged not when it's right to go home from school, no one at home?”

“Gak will. They are used to.”

“Teteh have been to the cafe where Atep works?”

“Enter several times.”

“Lena wants to have business with Atep. Maybe open a cafe, so Atep do not need to cooperate with others.”

“Hm... Later you talk about it with Atep.”

“According to Teteh, he will be offended not if Lena says you want to give capital for business?”

“Teteh is not enthusiastic anyway.”

“He-he-he... The time is?”

“That belly is already big so. When's HPL?”

“Doctors say two more months. But don't know, this is a heavy stomach like this. Pas pregnant Aras and Aris Teteh stomach is not this big.”

“Maybe you didn't eat much. If now, Teteh just say want to eat only directly Aa sigap make or buy.”

“Ha-ha-ha. Last week Teteh said to the original mpek-mpek from Palembang, the Aa directly flew to Palembang just buy mpek-mpek.”

“Great to have a husband like Aa?”

“Aalhamdulillah's. Just do not go back to the rich nature that used to be.”

“Iiih amit-amit deh, Tea. Do not get,” said Alena while tapping her fingers on the steering wheel. “Don't let grandma drop by Natasha come back to life Aa.”

“Don't mention the name of the attached grandmother, Len.”

“Iya sorry, Tea. If until the attached grandmother damages Aa's family, Lena will not hesitate to destroy him,” said Alena growled. He recalled the suffering of Kagendra and Sadiyah due to Natasha.

“Have...already..don't remember that unpleasant past. We just pray to be kept away from all distractions. Even if there is a problem, hopefully we can be strong to deal with it.”

Alena parked the car in a parking lot that was full enough to be a little difficult to get a place. Understandably, lunch hour, many people who come to the cafe to fill an empty stomach let alone the menu in this cafe is unique and delicious even though the location is far from the city center.

After successfully parking the car, Alena and Sadiyah went straight to the cafe.

“Good afternoon, Madam Sadiyah,” greeted the cafe staff politely, making Alena a little surprised by the attitude of the cafe staff who seemed to know Sadiyah very well.

“Atep there?”

“Kang Atep is in his room, but there are guests,” replied one of the staff.

“Who's guest?”

“Bu Evangeline.”

“Who is he?” ask Sadiyah a little.

“New coffee bean supplier.”

“We want to go directly to the room only!” sadiyah firmly.

Sadiyah and Alena went up the stairs to the top floor. Alena helped Sadiyah up the stairs because she had trouble climbing with her big belly.

“Be careful, Tea.”

“This can't be left, Len. The feeling of Tetu is not good like this.”

“Why the hell, Tea?” ask Alena astonished.

“Already..don't ask much. We have to hurry up to Atep.”'s room

Without knocking first, Sadiyah directly opened the door.

“Atep...” shouted Sadiyah angrily.

“Astaghfirullah, what are you doing? Tetuh did not expect you to dare to do something like this. Teteh Disappointed Atep Dananjaya!" sadiyah said with tears.
