I'm Loyal, I swear!!
Honesty is too late

Seconds change minutes, hours, days change, weeks change, and so on until an event just becomes a memory.

Either bitter or sweet, which we will enjoy when daydreaming in the future.

It did not feel almost a week this Vani diligently always worked in the car wash and enjoy market, which actually belongs to Yudha but Vani did not know.

Yang Vani knew this place belonged to Yudha's relatives. I don't know, the important thing is that Vani feels good working here. Because before marriage, he had worked in a minimarkat as well. There was an experience that made him feel comfortable.

This afternoon the store is not too crowded, so a lot of time is spent relaxing. Unlike the situation in Yudha's office which is always crowded, especially at the beginning of the week like today.

Likewise, at Jovan's workplace, a visit to a new place for the construction of the company's branch factory where he worked required Jovan to participate in monitoring the area. Busy for sure, both men were equally busy.

Unlike Vani who even felt joined because he had done all his work. Cleaning the shop area, arranging goods in the storefront, checking the expiration period, and all routine activities have been done, but it feels finished too soon.

Until relaxing is the right thing to do with Dewi, his one shift friend is very clop to be invited seriously and relaxed.

Time showed eleven o'clock less, still long to rest. Vani and Dewi were both sitting on the cashier bench. Leaning your head on the table, while chatting and eating snacks.

While busy talking with the mouth chewing, suddenly there is a notif in the vani hape. A message from WA

Vani is confused after reading a message from Yudha :

"you're not paid to relax"✓

"likes me dong, not mas Yudha is also the boss" emoji mocked ✓

"*how can I report to me, let me scold you"✓

"indeed Yudha knows where I'm relaxing from"✓*

after replying to the message, Vani dyed, looking for a cctv. Because Vani was alone with the Goddess, how could Yudha know?

"why are people confused?"ask Goddess.

"this is Mr. Yudha wa me, why does he know that we're relaxing again? isn't he here?" answer Vani

"so you think there's a cctv?" asked the Goddess to follow the daze looking for the surveillance camera.

"do you know there's a cctv?✓

message from Yudha.

"no really, Dew, there's a cctv. Gawat nih, disperse yuk we look for busyness"

Yudha smiled at the behavior of the two employees. Right now Yudha is actually in a meeting with some of his company's top officials. Because he was bored, then he took the initiative to check the minimarket, all of you let go of longing by just looking at Vani's face from the screen of his phone.

It's been almost a week that Yudha hasn't seen Vani. He deliberately did that so as not to get too big his love to spring back at the simple woman.

But longing to say another, Yudha could not bear to not say hello to his idol. He knew all this was wrong, but his heart was unable to say no on good occasions to get close to Vani.

"But I'm confused to do again mbak, the shop is quiet again. All are also spun" said Dewi when passing with Vani in the cold drink window.

"I am also Dew, jaudah we are here aja ngadem" said Vani who asserted Dewi.

They also returned to chatting fun by moving positions from the cashier table to a row of beverage shelves.

"will you please bring lunch? you think you're fucking relaxing again?"✓

"rebet really stay asked for food delivery still had time to menggeledek" said Vani slowly while observing his cellphone.

"why mbak?" ask the Goddess

"sir Yudha asked for food to be delivered to his office this afternoon. I'll come out first, Dew, you're okay if you're left for a while?" ask Vani

"yes it's okay mbak, again quiet as well. There's another mas-mas next door, too. You don't have to worry" said Dewi

**

Half an afternoon, after completing his duties as a Muslim, Vani immediately fulfilled the duty of state to deliver food to the boss Aryudha.

As he knew, Yudha used to love eating meatballs in a small alley located behind a famous campus.

And this time Vani wants to buy the food for his beloved boss sir. Although the weather was hot, did not dampen Vani's wishes.

It took about an hour to get to the hotel where Yudha was. Because the distance he traveled was a bit far.

Not forgetting Vani sent Yudha a message to wait for her to send her lunch.

At exactly half-hour two in the afternoon he arrived at the lobby of The Empire hotel. Upon reaching the lobby, he asked Yudha where she was at the reception.

"Excuse me, sir Yudha is there?"

"Sorry mom, is there an appointment? He is indeed in place, but not just anyone can want to be able to meet with him" said the beautiful receptionist with a low view, because Vani is in a bad state with his usual clothes and his favorite blue jacket.

"It was my promise, this is Yudha sir telling me to deliver his lunch" said Vani began to get impatient while showing a bag of crackers filled with roadside food.

"Even if Mr. Yudha wants lunch, usually go straight to the cafeteria or tell the insiders to buy it, there's never a DO food like you said" the receptionist still doesn't believe.

"huft. Let Mr. Yudha come here" said Vani annoyed.

"just try ma'am, don't make it up" the receptionist said.

Vani walks a bit away from the reception desk, then sits on the guest sofa. Take out her cell phone and start calling Yudha.

tuutt ...

"Hello"

"assalamualaikum, yes. I'm downstairs, in the lobby. Can Yudha come down here for the food?"

"waalaikumsalam.yaudah you immediately ride aja Vanii... I've been laper daritadi waiting for you to faint this. Still told to take it yourself?"

"don't be fussy... I can't go up for your nemuin as much as the receptionist."

"hengmh.. yasudah, beware yes" suddenly Yudha closed her phone.

"what the fuck is playing close. So what is the fate of the food?" the word Vani lirih looks at the fate of his meatball rujak

Shortly after, suddenly the receptionist who had met Vani who was engrossed with the screen of his phone

"sorry mother, Yudha's week in her room. Please go there or will I take you?" the receptionist said it was polite

"eh. yes. Me alone. His mother was busy. Yasudah mbak, thank you, excuse me"

Vani steps out of the lobby, approaches Yudha to give her a few hours late lunch.

tock.tok ..tok..

"come in" said someone from inside

With some hesitation, Vani opened the door and turned her head to look inside the room.

As her bead eyes looked at Yudha, Vani gave a smile in anticipation of the boss' anger.

"assalamualaikum... Sorry for long"

"waalaikumsalam, my intestines get sticky because of waiting for you for a long time"

Vani rolled his eyes puffed at Yudha's words. While continuing to step inside and follow Yudha who told her to sit on the sofa.

"you long time ago Vani. worms in my stomach has been a concert of daritadi"

"what the hell, anyway why not just buy food here anyway, know yourself the distance from where I work here is far away, not to mention to buy this food is also far away, plus queue up to make the order ready. It's gonna take some time"

"already, stop complaining. What did you bring me?"

"nih .. special for the brother who he said again laper" said Vani while opening the package of food.

"wadly... Rujak meatballs yes. I have never eaten this for a long time. Thanks Adek Vani" said Yudha enthusiastic about the food.

"yeah.iya .. Where's bowl?let me get you a mas"

"near the sink"

Vani prepares Yudha's food and gets her some water. Let's not be sprained. If the sprain of spicy food is troublesome, so it must be prepared along with the water as well.

Yudha was so happy that Vani brought her a special meal. He used to love the food so much, he often took Vani to lunch at his favorite meatballs.

Although Vani never liked the food that he thought was strange.

After the meal, Yudha still did not allow Vani to return to the store. Yudha still wants to be with the woman longer.

"Before Van, just stay here. You will relax. Instead of eating blind paycheck, better accompany me to talk here"

"But I am also not paid just to let you talk Mr. Yudha"

"cg. that's okay. I miss you the same. Don't rush to dong"

"mas Yudha why the hell. What else are you doing?"

"That's so good that I'm friday. I'm afraid because I miss you"

"sthhhh!!" Vani requires Yudha to be silent by pointing at her own mouth.

"if anyone hears it, they can misunderstand" Vani said.

"But I really miss you Van. Haven't seen you in a long time, cook you don't miss me?"

"If you said it eight years ago I would have answered kangen pake mas, unfortunately you are talking about kangennya now. If now miss me yes same husband I dong" said Vani relaxed.

Vani's words hurt Yudha a little, but she realized that everything had changed. And all is his own fault for being afraid to fight for his love.

"You're now more assertive yes, don't like sheepish goats"

"cat, not dog"

"i said Van goat, not dog. I think your hijab is falling down the cloth yes, his hearing is disturbed"

"hahaha . yes I used to still smell kencur mas, by the way the question is only a matter of procedure booking tickets and hotels. Now there is a lot of experience, especially talking to people, hengmh. work in the field of sales makes us know many people's characters"

"great dong you now, what do you think I am?"

"you now what were you?" asked Vani astonished suddenly Yudha asked like that

"it used to be the same now"

"hengmh..

if you used to not take care of the mas, your handsome cover the same black jacket buluk your favorite is made anywhere.hehehehe"

"i used to be not handsome? if it looks handsome dong now?" yudha said seducing Vani.

"huft pede you sir .. If people are already rich it looks different .. Ugly people become handsome when there's money, right?"

"do you think I'm ugly now?" yudha sebal said.

"haha, yeah, not really. I'm gonna say that rich people are different, not that you're ugly"

"Some of why there are also people giving strange punishment, like the father of Yudha mas"

"Yes as slight as punishment as that I would know if there are people who really like, baby, maybe even love the same I sincerely Van, not just because of my property only. And I feel like you're a real person like me"

"If it were a fact like that, it was then, it was just the past. It can't happen again even if it's a dream. Sometimes we are required to feel pain to know the gratitude of the favors"

Yudha was speechless with Vani's words. It's true that he's too hopeful right now. Hoping to reach the love of his past which in fact now is impossible to achieve.

"Honestly, I was from a long time ago even now still love you Van. I'm sorry if I'm late to reveal to you, I can at least be relieved to talk about my feelings to you" Yudha said.

The two were silent for a long time with Yudha's sudden confession. Suddenly awkward atmosphere.

"I have the same feeling as you. But for now, all is impossible. I have to give my love completely to my husband, as well as the love of Yudha must be to the wife of Yudha.

It is very bad if we have to impose our desires and have to hurt the feelings of many people" said Vani steady.

"Actually I really wanted to be selfish to achieve my own happiness Van, but after I met your children, I could not bear that they had to feel the pain of being stepchildren like me"

"Thank you Yudha for thinking about my son's happiness. I hope that Yudha will soon be happy with the children among you"

"I beg you not to stay away from me after you know that my love is still there for you Van. Because I can't get hurt anymore. Let me take your son as my own son."

"No one will forbid you, neither will my husband object. Because even though he's younger, his mind is more mature than mine"

"he's younger? you married a boy?" yudha said meledek to melt the atmosphere.

" it's good, kid. But the boy wants to fight for his love, rather than the person who ngaku more mature even retreat alon-alon" said Vani reply to Yudha's teasing.

They also joked and chatted until it did not feel like four in the afternoon, Vanipun said goodbye to return to the store to help Dewi organize and after closing the store.

Actually Yudha wanted to take Vani, but was immediately rejected because Vani brought a motorcycle and had to deliver her son to school tomorrow.
