The First Love Cafe (2)

After Kak Agatha's avocado juice order came, we continued ordering food. While waiting for the food to come, we continued talking.

"If you can tell, what's Aura's full name?" ask Bang Rizky to me.

"Ashifahani Aura, Bang." I replied.

"Oh, what a beautiful name" he said.

"Thank you." I replied briefly.

"What aura are brothers?" ask again.

"Two brothers. Brother Aura is married and has been blessed with one son." I replied.

"Owh, same donk. My brother is also just two brothers. Brother Agatha is my only sister." she explained.

I have a sign of understanding.

"Aura used to know Rizky in ponpes?" ask Brother Agatha.

"The introduction never, brother. But Aura knew Bang Rizky, because he often participated in the race. And many santriwati talk about it often." I replied.

"Huh? Talking me? About what?" ask Bang Rizky. I felt that his curiosity was huge.

"Many, Bang. The aura has forgotten, hehe." I replied grimly.

"Ma, Rasya wants to pee, let's go with him." take brother Agatha.

"Owh, come." take her while standing and lead Rasya. "Bella wants to pee too?" ask Agatha to her daughter.

"No, Ma. Later." replied Bella.

"Bella, is avocado juice good?" bang Rizky asked his nephew.

"Enak, Om." replied Bella.

"This juice has Om, Bella would not?"

"No, Om. This is it." said Bella.

I can see that Bella and Bang Rizky are very familiar. Too bad I'm not that familiar with my niece, because the distance from our house is far.

"Ra, why bother?" bang Rizky asked, making me realize.

"Eh, it's okay, Bang. Just remembered the same nephew of Aura." I replied frankly.

"Owh, Aura rarely met him? What's name?" ask Bang Rizky again.

"Yes Bang, rarely. His name is Farhan." I replied.

"Where do they live?"

"In Namoteration, Bang. Aura's brother-in-law is always working, so it's rare to visit home." I explained.

"Well, far away is where he lives."

"Yes, that's it, Bang." I said. "Thank God our food came." I said when I saw a servant walking to our table.

"Good fun." said the waiter after finishing the meal on the table.

"Thank you, Mom." said Bang Rizky.

"Is there anything else you want to order?" ask waiter.

"It's not there, Mas." replied Bang Rizky.

The waiter nodded and left us.

I am very excited and want to eat the chicken chop in front of me. If only I had been eating with Luna, Icha and Lilian, I would have eaten it without hesitation. But, since the current one in front of me is Bang Rizky, I had to control ayu. Ckckckck.

There's no way I'm eating like a man in front of him. The shame!!

"Let's eat, Ra. Don't just look at it." said Bang Rizky.

"Huh? Oh, yes." I said wrongly.

Agatha and Rasya came back from the toilet.

"Ma, Rasya wants the chicken" said Rasya.

"Yes, Ma." said Bella, nodding her head slowly.

Then we all began to eat each other's food, at once the atmosphere became silent. There is only the sound of passing vehicles. Sometimes Rasya and Bella take turns asking Mama for something. Brother Agatha is busy taking care of her two children while eating. While Bang Rizky and I were immersed in silence and thoughts.

After I finished eating, I washed my hands. I accidentally ran into someone.

"Heh, if you look around donk!" he said with anger.

"Ma, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it" I said nervously.

"What was unintentionally? You obviously hit me on purpose!" he said and shouted.

"Mba, I've apologized even though this is not entirely my fault. No whispering." I said.

"What's up, Ra?" bang Rizky asked, she came up to me after hearing the woman scream.

I just kept quiet, didn't answer.

"Owh, so this is your friend?" ask her on Bang Rizky.

"Yes, this is my friend. Why why?" Bang Rizky asked the woman.

"It's okay. Tumben take the girl out." said the woman.

"It's none of your business." said Bang Rizky. "Come, Ra. No need to wait anymore." continued Bang Rizky and invited me to return to our table.

"Did you know her?" I asked Bang Rizky after I sat down.

"Know, her name is Lucy. He's my cousin's best friend, Dona." he replied.

"Huh? Lucy is here?" ask Brother Agatha.

"There was Kak, just now papasan with Aura." replied Bang Rizky.

"Owh, what a bad coincidence" said Brother Agatha slowly.

"Not good how does that mean, brother?" manya curious.

"It's okay. Don't think too much." replied Brother Agatha.

I nodded slowly. If you look at the look on the face of Bang Rizky and Kak Agatha, it seems they both do not like the woman named Lucy. "What's the matter exactly?" I ask in my heart.

"Even from here Aura went straight home?" ask Bang Rizky to me.

"Yes, Bang." I answered briefly.

Then Bang Rizky got up from her seat, she went to the cashier.

"What's aura, Bang?" ask me after he gets back from the cashier.

"What pill?" his question was astonished and scrunched his forehead.

"That Aura ate a donk" I replied.

"Aw.. There-there's just you. Don't think about it. Brother who joined here, means brother tract." he explained.

"Owh, so. Is it really okay?" ask again.

"Already, Ra. Relax, after all the same wife who can be counted, hehe." said Brother Agatha and laughed.

"Huh? Wife-to-be?" I just feel surprised.

"Yes, really." Bang Rizky replied with a smile. "Aura will go home be careful. Kabinin Abang when he got home." he continued.

"This is Allah, Bang." I replied.

Suddenly my heart was pounding very hard to hear Bang Rizky saying Brother Agatha. Me? His future wife? I still can't believe I got to this stage.

May it be true what he said just now, and may the extended family of Bang Rizky accept me well.

It's not easy for me to get into his family, what else are the scars of past wounds now still felt. My trauma and fear have not completely disappeared, but it is not an obstacle for me to keep going and start a new life with someone I will call my husband.

Seeing Kak Agatha's excellent response to me, I became more courageous to step forward with Bang Rizky.

Seeing Bang Rizky's excellent attitude towards his nephew, it made me believe that later he would also definitely be a good Father to my children. And what I hope is that he can be a good husband and be able to protect me, and be able to guide me into a better person.
