"is it still a long way to go?" vani asks remove awkwardness.
"no, next to the car wash."
Sure enough, a few meters in front of it does look there is a car and motorcycle wash, then next to it there is a minimarket that is served there are several seats for customer seats.
The car drove to the car wash, and stopped there. "let's go down" Yudha asked
Vani follows Yudha's movement down from the car.
Yudha was talking to a man there. Looks like the workers at this car wash. They look familiar. Then the man turned to Vani a little and nodded with a friendly smile. Vani made a similar move.
"come with me" said Yudha.
Minimarket and car wash is actually a package. Minimarket terrace filled with tables and chairs is a comfortable waiting place for customers whose vehicles are being washed.
They both entered the minimarket. There was a woman at the cashier table, and a man who was arranging things. They both saluted Yudha.
Going inside, there is a staircase leading to the second floor behind the door that says "other than employees are prohibited from entering"
next to the stairs there is a door that Vani is sure inside is a warehouse where the stock of goods.
After arriving at the second floor, there is a room that is used as an office on the left. In the middle was a small door that seemed to be a bathroom, and on the right was a small mushola.
After the prayer, there is a door to a small balcony. There is a table and lounge chair available. There was an unfiltered cup of coffee on his desk.
Yudha headed to the office, taking Vani along.
There was a man inside the office behind the desk.
"who is Mas Yudha?" the man looked behind Yudha's back.
"This is Vani, my friend. I want him to be able to work at this minimarket. Set the schedule so that Wednesday can work directly." said Yudha.
"what do you say is the boss. You have a place too" said the man
Yudha suddenly widened her eyes at the man, hinting that his mouth should be conditioned.
"He was Ilham, a cousin of my mother. You can ask him later if anyone does not understand ya" Yudha explained to Vani.
"there is no handover of that cover letter to Yud?"
"no need, Wednesday you come straight here. Morning at nine o'clock. You will have your child at that hour" Yudha said in serious fashion this time.
"yes well"
"hi mbak, I'm Ilham. What's your name?"
"I'm Vani, Mr. Ilham. Nice to meet you. Please guidance also yes" said Vani as he reached out his hand which was then welcomed by Inspiration.
"don't be long" Yudha brushed off the hands of Ilham and Vani.
"what the hell mas" they said compactly.
Yudha just melengos.
"already, let's go. I want to give you a uniform. Come with me" said Yudha
"yes. Excuse me, Mr. Ilham, I say goodbye first"
"yes" replied Ilham.
Out of the office, Yudha invites Vani to the warehouse on the first floor. Inside the warehouse there is a small pantry, there is also an employee locker room.
The locker room is only a 3x4 meter room on the wall there is a closet with several small drawers locked.
Yudha opened one of the drawers whose keys were still hanging at her door. After opening it, he picked up three uniform shirts of the same color.
"this is your uniform and this is the locker key. Don't lose it" Yudha said.
"Good sir boss. Why are you so cold as ice cubes that's mas"
Eh. Yudha habits if the same employees will rarely smile. Forgot him that his masterpiece this time was a special person. Too much to live the role as a boss so forget himself.
"Beyond? your feelings only once" he replied this time with a pepsodent smile.
"don't smile so clearly. I was horrified to see it" said Vani.
The smile instantly faded, returning to cool mode.
"if so, I'll go home. There was no interview, right?"
"why rush anyway? it's still ten this time. What time do you pick up your son?"
"At half-twelve hours later"
"we coffee first yuk. Wanna naw?
"engmh. Swing around"
Finally they were here, sitting opposite each other in a small cafe near the minimarket. They even walked on foot.
"mas, you dress very formally. Concerned about other visitors" said Vani.
Yudha dyed "just let alone. Why is it also horrified what people say" But while opening his suit, and only wearing a white hem of money is being rolled up his arms up to the elbows.
"it's better" said Vani.
Yudha raised her hand to call the servant,
"what message do you want, sir?" ask the friendly waiter.
"capuccino equals cocholate cake, what are you Van?"
"i strawbery milk shake aja mbak, the same donut topping oreo one the same that topping chocolate strawberry one ya mbak" said Vani.
After taking notes and confirming the order, the waiter went to prepare his meal and drink.
"are you sure abisin your order?" ask Yudha
"chat needs energy, so it must be abis"
"that's a heavy meal, Van, is not full later?"
"ikhlas didn't buy it?" vani sebal.
"it's sincere, but it's really abis yaa"
"just calm down..."
A few minutes passed, and their order arrived.
Yudha sighed, sooner or later Vani would indeed ask about their past.
"you also know the term kayak is all, haha"
"must dong, let's not be mamak kudet. Do not have to mengeles-ngeles mulu, already like a driver ojol on the road jammed aja like ngeles".
"I was actually ready to pick you up. But suddenly my papa came, picked me up and told me to go home without even having time to tell you first" Yudha said.
Finally he told her from the beginning that his father had come to pick him up, to require Yudha to marry the woman he had been betrothed to.
Vani also seriously listened, occasionally the mangosteen seemed to agree with Yudha's story.
"So, there is actually no intention of me to disappear from you" Yudha said.
"So actually what is the main reason for Yudha mas not to be fooled? From what I see as a wife who is very beautiful, she is a model. Is it not possible that Yudha is a disorder that does not want to be as smooth as his wife mas Yudha?"
"it's good to think of people with disorder. What's the abnormality?" tanya Yudha pretended to be furious.
"haha. yeah sorry. So what is the basic reason? Still curious about me"
"My reason was you Vani..."
"Council... Uwah.. I'm surprised!!" vani said he pretended to be stupid, and it succeeded in making Yudha become even more furious.
Seeing Yudha's cynical gaze, Vani immediately picked up her drink, and started drinking with a straw.
But shit he's sprained, so cough.
"uhukk..uhukk..." Vani immediately patted his chest slowly to feel more relieved.
"hahaha.so don't rush to drink it, besides who wants to ask" Yudha even laughed at him.
Vani glared at Yudha, after his cough subsided, as soon as he plucked a doughnut that dariitadi had stirred his taste, Vani was very fond of donuts.
Spending half a doughnut on her hand, Vani was still annoyed and made her face just pout.
"eat slowly, I don't ask. Until the gini beleaguered" Yudha said, erasing the brown trail at the corner of Vani's lips.
Shocked by Yudha's treatment, Vani rewinds her head.
"you're already bumming"
"but really, honestly I love you Van. I'm a loser because I can't fight to be happy with my own feelings. I'm too resigned to the rules of my papa"
"and honestly, Yudha has also been successful for me to not be able to move on from you for more than two years" said Vani, staring to remember her past.
"how difficult it is to forget you mas, after you suddenly say with the feelings that already exist. I still wish you were present, make me my encouragement again. But suddenly I heard you were married. I'm really disappointed in myself for being so easily overwhelmed by all the pseudo-attention from you" Vani said, expressing her feelings that were delayed eleven years ago.
Vani lowered her head, hoping that her tears would not spill at this moment. Prestigious if you have to be crybaby after pretending to be strong from before.
"sorry yes, I am a fool" Yudha said.
"all right now, let's not talk about our past. Now that we have our own households, let us succumb to reality, maybe we are destined only to be friends who can strengthen each other" said Vani trying to smile.
"yes, you're right. Now we are friends yaaa. Stay a cheerful person"
"already, you eat again, baby if thrown away"
"yes, sad more need extra energy to deal with" said Vani while plucking a doughnut that had been bitten half earlier.
For a long time they were silent and became awkward. Until Yudha ventured to open her voice.
"With your husband, how did you get to know him and marry him?" the word Yudha is actually just a pleasantries.
Vani smiled, after drinking a bit of strawberry milk shake, he said "i love him after the hate passed. It is true that people say that love and hate are only covered in a very thin curtain"
Yudha just kept quiet while listening to Vani's love story after being able to release feelings from her.
"he's an uracan student who then became a regular customer in the minimarkat that I used to work."
"eyah? must have told your story, so you also had a chance to go to college first?" asked Yudha to try hard.
"no mas, nasip is not on my side for college. I'm just a minimarket keeper."
"so Jovan used to come to the store, keep whipping perfume, it was quite expensive. Even do not want responsibility, keep a short story even I have to change, but fortunately my boss can make nyicil replace it"
"show isn't that responsible but you like it?" asked Yudha sneering.
"ish. dangerrin first. So actually at that time he was again heartbroken, not married because of his prospective cheating. Continued because he felt guilty, every day he went to my workplace to apologize.
not so easy as that would be sorry nyebelin people like him"
"every day there is an apology. Until finally yes I'm sorry and we get close"
"wasn't it because of your impingement?" ask Yudha.
"initially I thought so too. But for a long time I was sure because he refused to date and preferred marriage even though LDR had to be after"
"that's how you want to marry her? surely you're just made for an impingement. It's so easy to open your heart to such a man?" yudha said emotionally, why Vani is so easily crushed in a man like Jovan.
"what the hell is mas? you know, it took me more than two years to get back to nourishing my ailing heart because of being left married to someone I felt had the same feelings for me. But in fact even more mature people who easily play with girls who just know about love" said Vani also full of emotion.
Yudha realized that Vani was currently insinuating him. He realized he was the jerk.
"huft's..." Yudha gave a rough breath.
"sorry I Van, I'm sorry I in the past who can not fight my love with you, and it turns out you are also love me"
Vani was silent, she realized that now everything had passed. It is also not good to open old memories when there are days that both must be maintained.
"it's over, it's all gone. Now we must try to keep the heart of our respective partners. Especially if I have two, right?" said Vani trying wisely do not forget to smile.
"You stay the way Van used to be, always good at looking at fate. I'll probably still have a hard time sparing you"
"Do we need to not meet just let our lives run normally like before?"
"no Van, let's not go far. Just thinking about it makes me sad again. Let it be like this, I will be a father to your children as long as his father is away from you. I will try to make peace with the situation" said Yudha steady.
"you don't ask me to make your marriage yes mas, hahaha.not funny at all" said Vani horrified.
"so you wish I were married again? If I don't mind at all"
"don't be weird. I've just eaten the same drink was finished, if not later the food is cry loh" said Vani imitating Youtuber speech when with his son.
"hahaha, yes." said Yudha began to cheer up again.
Not felt when the heart is happy, then time will feel quickly passed.
Likewise felt by two people who are no longer this brother. Enjoy the time together like what was expected in the past. Although with different circumstances, it had already tucked a little happiness in the hearts of the two.
