Little Do You Know
RESTAURANT

A little debate this morning between Arkan who does not want a motorbike with Diba, and Mother who forces Arsen to deliver it to the restaurant in his head. While Diba and Arsen just silently watched the scene of a picisan drama that was being aired live in front of them.

"Come Bun, then Mother let Arkan deliver ya bun"

"No, you're definitely gonna be blabbering along the way"

And the debate continues with Arkan whining at his stubborn Mother.

"Cih, stop it, Mommy stays with me but riding a motorbike and Arkan with Diba using the mother's car. And stop fighting"

"Just son, Mother does not want to ride a motorcycle, look at the mother using a skirt."

"Mother just change the skirt with trousers and wear a jacket as well so you can still go with Arsen"

"No, Mommy can't change her pants, much later"

"Is mother come on, mother bring change skirt only, later after until change her pants with skirt again"

"Ais, ribet Arkan. What's wrong with one bike with Diba"

"The problem is that Diba also uses a knee-length skirt, his body is also small, I'm afraid that he will be carried away by the wind"

Arsen rolled his eyeballs, while Diba grunted softly hearing Arkan's annoying speech.

"If this continues, there is even bad luck"

Hearing Diba's complaint, Arsenic without further ado immediately pulled Diba into the car and drove it without caring about Mother and her twin sister who were still busy arguing.

"Where are you with Mother? Shouldn't you drive him in this car?"

"Let them argue as much, after realizing that if we and the car were gone, they would get along again"

"You mean, I had to get along because I had to go together"

Both laughed for a moment. Diba never expected that he would be able to laugh even one car with Arsen. Although Arsen never interfered with Arkan's bullyan against him. But he once thought 'maybe Arsen did not like to use his hands directly' it was indeed a negative thought, but it is true because they are twins, it can be ascertained if they are the same.

—

Quietly, that was all the two of them did for the rest of their journey. The traffic light turned red, Asren stopped his car. Looking around, he knew this path, and immediately he opened his seatbelt.

"I'm down here Arsen"

"Why? It's not yet at school"

"I can't go down to school, what's with you. I still love my life"

"But the distance from school is still far"

"Just 15 minutes walk"

"Stay, that's far from Adiba"

"What's wrong. It's like walking from my parents' house to school"

Although hesitant, Arsen finally allowed it, he knew very well what would happen if the Students knew if Diba came to school together with him.

"Well be careful, go home to school I'll wait for you here"

"Um, fine. I'm leaving, assalamualaikum"

"Girishal"

When he got out of the car, he walked down the sidewalk to his school. It's exhausting, but at least it's better than the whole school, believe me! That's not a good thing. After 10 minutes of brisk walking he finally arrived at the school yard, he immediately headed for the heat. Diba immediately sat on the chair and spread his head on the table with a bag as a cushion. Always, no one noticed.

Amel entered the classroom with long steps, his mouth did not stop muttering, visible from the look of his face if he was upset. Amel threw his bag on the table violently, then sat folding his hands on his chest without caring around.

Adiba gasps when he hears a slam and something hits his head. He looked up and glared when he saw the black bag that was always full of books was now comfortably perched in front of him. The reflex he held onto was his head that might have been nearly hit by a library meteor. Diba turned his face to the chair next to him, where Amel was staring blankly at the door. He followed Amel's gaze, but there was nothing there, and he brought his face closer to the side of the amel's face.

"I can see you Amelia, I'm right next to you"

Amel's body immediately stiffened as a gust of wind in his cheek and a very clear whisper was heard. Slowly he turned his head and

"Boo"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

Amel screamed in surprise until he fell to the floor. Students who had been calm class now stared at the bench Amel and Diba. While Diba himself laughed with satisfaction to see his best friend who he worked for.

"God. What are you doing stupid. You almost killed my heart"

Amel got up from the floor and sat back in his chair, while Diba was arranging his laughter to subside.

"Mistake yourself daydream in the morning. And you almost gave me a concussion because your walking library was"

Amel swung his lips and pulled out his bag. Unknowingly, they have now been surrounded by students of his class.

"Adiba are you okay?"

"I'm so sorry about your mother's passing"

"So now do you live alone with your father?"

"You haven't been in a few days, you must be sad, right?"

"I heard your mother had a severe illness"

"You must be steadfast Diba, I'm sure you're strong"

And many more questions and words of encouragement that made classmates who confused him had to answer which one first.

Although Amel

"GOSH, THANK GOD YOU'RE FINALLY IN SCHOOL TOO. HOBBY ONCE YOU WORRY ME, YOU DON'T GO TO SCHOOL, NOTHING AT MINIMART, I'M EVEN LOOKING FOR YOU TO YOUR NEW WORKPLACE YOU DON'T EXIST. WHEN I CAME TO YOUR HOUSE YOUR FATHER SAID YOU DIDN'T LIVE THERE ANYMORE. JESUS ADIBA... YOU KNEW! ME AND AND BROTHER EL ARE ALMOST CRAZY LOOKING FOR YOU"

Diba and all the students there closed their ears as hard as they could. It is not in doubt, the sound of cusp belongs to Amel can damage their eardrums if not protected properly.

"Geez Amel. Lowering your voice. You talk like a train. Fast and noisy. You know for sure if our friend this one is kind of loading. You're ruining our hearing"

Amel again scowled at the bella reprimand of their classmate.

"True, I don't understand what you're talking about, but we obviously have to get our ears checked for your voice"

Now Amel further advances his lips because his best friend who he is very worried about is also blaming him.

After a few moments of gathering at Adiba's desk for question and answer, all students returned to their respective places when the teacher who taught today had arrived in the classroom. Just like before, the teacher who realized Diba's presence also said condolences.

Uh! Only those who do not consider Adiba low. Luckily, she has a classmate who always cares for her.

—

A new 10-minute break bell rang, but the class was empty. Only a few students were left laying their heads on the table, as usual waiting for empty parking lots so as not to jostle. Like Diba who just closed his book, today's matter is very easy for him, so he can finish it quickly.

After tidying up his desk again, he got up from the chair and patted Amel's shoulder, which was resting his head with a bag pad.

"You done yet?"

Diba nodded in response.

"So soon, I've even just closed my eyes"

"Already, comeon. Or do you want me to stay?"

Amel thundered and got up and walked with Diba.

"You're going straight home?"

"No, I have to go to work first"

"To minimart?"

"Not"

"I thought you were going back there"

Amel sighed with a disappointed face. Diba smiled and embraced his best friend's shoulder.

"I'm going to the bakery to resign, and to the restaurant as well, I'm going to continue my work there. At least it's just that restaurant that's close to where I live right now"

"Ah right, now where do you live? Can I come visit?"

Adiba thought a little before answering. There is no way he would say that he currently lives with the Arkan and Arsen families.

"I live with my mother's brother. Maybe you can visit next time, there's no way I'll bring a friend when I just moved in"

"Ah you're right. All right next time you gotta take me there ok"

"Dad alright"

Diba breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Amel believed his words. After a few moments of walking together, the two finally separated at the gate, because the road they passed was opposite.

He returned down the sidewalk to the intersection, along the way he hummed several times until he finally arrived in front of a car parked near a small roadside stall. A little hesitant he tapped on the driver's glass, when the glass was lowered he was a little surprised.

"Arikan?"

"Ck, it's been a while"

Adiba sighed, I don't know! He's getting used to Arkan's tough attitude, even more so. Actually he was confused, why was Arkan waiting for him, not Arsen as he promised this morning.

"Hurry up. I'm not a private driver who should always be waiting for you"

Diba sighed before finally answering.

"You go first. I have to do something now"

"Why haven't you contacted me since? So I don't have to wait long like this"

"sorry"

Didn't say anything else. Arkan immediately stepped on the gas pedal, spurring his car to leave Diba who was just staring at his departure. Adiba shakes his head before finally walking across the street to get to the bakery where he works.

Diba finally arrived at the destination. In front of the shop that had been his workplace for several days, he entered the store and met with his manager to inform him of his intentions. Had been given some questions finally with a heavy heart the manager agreed Adiba's decision and gave salary plus with the bonus.

He left the store after saying goodbye to all the employees he knew. And continued walking one of the small restaurants not far from the bakery. Just 15 minutes walk he arrived at his destination.

"Hi Diba's. You work today?"

Diba smiled getting a friendly greeting from one of the employees.

"I want to see manager Mo. I have something to talk about"

"He's in his room, but there's also the Boss Ma'am"

"Ah, really? Maybe later"

"I think it's okay. Boss is usually just control. You just meet Mo's manager, he'll tell you if you can't be bothered"

"alright. I'll go up first, brother"

Diba walked up the employee-only stairs to the top floor where his manager was. Sure enough, when he passed through his manager's room which was only limited by glass, there was also a woman he had never met before.

Adiba knocked on the door, which was also made of glass. After being signaled, Diba also entered to meet the manager of the restaurant where he worked.

"Adiba, are you coming today?"

A woman with a shoulder-length haircut and casual clothes greeted Diba kindly.

"Dad brother Mo, I want to apologize because there was no news a few days ago"

"What's wrong, I understand. I'm so sorry"

Diba smiled as he nodded.

"Khm"

Deheman's voice behind Mo shocked the two.

"Ah yes, Diba introduce, this is the owner of this restaurant. Her name is Miss Sarah. And Miss Sarah this is Adiba, the employee I told you about"

The woman named Sarah smiled warmly and stuck out her hand which was welcomed warmly by Diba.

"I'm so sorry about your mother's passing"

"Thank you"

"Sister Mo, Miss Sarah I say goodbye to work again. Excuse me"

"Yes please"

Diba walks out of the room and disappears at the turn towards the stairs, his movements do not escape Sarah's vision.

"She's a nice and polite girl"

"You're right, ma'am, I've heard about him a lot from the customers who went to school with him. He was a good boy and did well in school. Although often in bully and never fight, but his performance is quite impressive. And the performance was very good and excited"

"really? What an amazing kid"

Sarah smiled at the end of the sentence.

-

"Wait a minute, we'll drop your order"

Diba passed carrying a menu book and notes in his hand, he headed to the ordering section and gave a paper note containing orders from his customers a while ago.

"Fatigue?"

Diba shook his head in response to Rara's words, the employee who had greeted him earlier today.

"Some days do not come, the restaurant is getting crowded, brother"

"Alhamdulillah At. Since you worked here the restaurant has become more crowded"

"Ah sister Rara could have. The restaurant is very good and the food is also very good. The price is also very affordable for students, what else is a school child like me"

"Hahahaha you really are too"

"Table order 17"

"I delivered the order, brother"

Diba carried a tray of food and drink with his heart. With the bustling restaurant conditions it is quite troublesome to bring a full filled tray to the ordering guest table.

"This is your order, enjoy"

Diba passed carrying an empty tray, when near the door someone hit him from behind, strong enough to make him sound a few steps ahead.

"You see what you're doing, I hit someone because of you"

He abandoned his intention to apologize even if it was not wrong. Seeing the couple in front of him fighting.

"It's your own fault it's in my way"

Diba turns around and intends to leave the couple, but his intention must be to undo because a hand holds him back.

"Well if that's what you want. We're done here"

"What's? That's not what I mean by Allan"

Diba tried to release his hand from the hand of the man named Allan.

"You go now or I drag you out"

"Allan"

"go to sya"

Allan chased away the girl with great emphasis, not caring about her whining and the hand that always kept Diba's arm strong. After the departure of the girl Diba touched Allan's hand violently to make his hand free from Allan's checks.

"Sorry sir, I have to get back to work"

Diba bowed politely to his customers before leaving.

"Ah wait"

He stopped again because his hand was held back by Allan. Diba turned around and pulled his hand. Still staring at Allan kindly.

"Sorry for bumping into you and sorry I touched you so badly"

'and old'

"It's okay I understand. Sorry but I have to get back to work"

"Wait"

Diba clenched each of his hands that were on both sides of his body.

"Yes sir? Can I help you?"

With all his strength he maintained his smile.

"I seem to know you. Do you know me?"

"Sorry sir but I don't know you. If there's no more I have to go back to work"

"But you're not watching me right"

Diba sighed.

"Sorry sir but I don't have time for that. I have to get back to work"

"Then I will pay your time to chat and observe me properly. I'm sure we know each other"

"Sorry sir. But I'm really busy right now, you can see for yourself our restaurant is full. So I have to go, otherwise the master alone who went is fine if you have paid for your order. Excuse me"

Adiba again touched his hand when again in the strangle of Allan.

"Then I'll wait for you outside"

"Whatever"

His ideal is full of emphasis. Diba walked to the reservation place to save the tray that he had brought.

"What happened to that customer. Looks like he's keeping you"

"Entah brother. That guy really sucks"

Rara chuckled at Adiba's visibly annoyed face.

"He's a customer?"

"Maybe"

"You know each other?"

Diba shook his head

"You look like a couple of lovers who were fighting earlier"

Diba rolled his eyeballs.

"That's it. There's a guest, I'll go there first"
