Diandra's reflexes shook her head because she didn't want to connect or meet a man who had made her feel self-respect. If possible, he hopes to never meet with Austin forever.
Despite living in the same city, Diandra even kept praying that she would never see the face of the man she hated so much. Although his prayer today was not granted by God because there was Austin out there who was meeting Yoshi's friend.
A very sad coincidence felt by Diandra at this time and did not understand how could a friend who had not been met by Yoshi, apparently had an appointment with Austin.
Diandra actually felt very frustrated to hear that, but he was still trying to think positively that as long as he did not get out of the private room, it would still be safe.
Moreover, there was a man as good as an angel who sat next to him and would be willing to help him if until Austin did anything to him like forcing to go along.
"Don't do anything because I don't want to meet that arrogant guy again. Just not seeing it makes me calm. Actually I really wanted to leave Jakarta and intend to return to the village, but could not do it when my parents needed the cost."
Diandra then told about his family's debts to loan sharks who targeted him. Even he also told about running away at night because he did not want to be married by a man who was after him to be a wife.
Diandra ended the story with a grim face because he realized that he currently felt free to run away from the old man, but it ended up losing his pride at the hands of Austin Matteo.
Remembering about it, makes Diandra does not intend to marry for life because he knows that virginity is an important thing that is evidence of maintaining self-esteem as a woman.
He really felt humiliated when one day married a man who would be disappointed once he knew it was no longer a virgin.
Until he heard Yoshi's baritone voice that did not force him to accept the kind man's offer. So, he felt very relieved and always comfortable and safe to be near a kind-hearted Yoshi.
"alright. I won't do anything because you don't want to report Austin's actions. We better linger here while enjoying the food soon maybe we'll be escorted by the waiter."
Yoshi was still curious about the ambiguous sentence expressed by Diandra. However, he felt confident that over time the woman would tell him everything.
Especially today Diandra has told about his family who is poor because it is wrapped in debt, so that the woman with a beautiful face wanders to Jakarta to find money in order to become a dutiful child.
"I really salute you, Diandra. I wanted to tell Naura your life journey so she wouldn't be spoiled for old people. Had he been here and listened to your story, he would have been ashamed and would not have dared to complain."
Yoshi did know that there are many people out there who are not as lucky as he and Naura because they were born in a family and live to continue the business that has been pioneered very long by parents.
However, only this time he heard directly about the lives of people in the lower middle class who even just to eat just have to slam bones and get a salary no how much.
In fact, it was made into a song that is very representative of the lower middle class, which is what is often done by many people with below average economies, namely digging holes close the hole.
"I must be grateful and must not complain because there are many people who, with ordinary economics, still never despair when looking for sustenance," yoshi said as he looked at the gloomy-looking female figure next to him.
Today is indeed quite a tough test faced by Diandra because he had to meet two people who made him suffer.
Moments later, he heard the knocking of the door and the door opened and showed the waiter carrying the food order.
Yoshi now sees food served on the table and turns to staring at Diandra to give a code to immediately enjoy the food served.
"Please enjoy, Mister and Miss." The waiter is now out by letting customers enjoy the food that has just been served.
Meanwhile, Diandra was currently staring towards the food that was considered incomplete because there was absolutely no rice. 'I think there's extra rice to eat chicken steak like this sauce.'
Diandra could only mutter to himself inwardly as it was impossible to express a protesting tone to the man who had ordered the food because he was about to faint at the price.
Because it does not want to be wrong to take food that is not understood and the price is very expensive, so Diandra currently chooses to immediately enjoy the food as done by Yoshi after greeting him.
"Good meal" said Yoshi who is currently thinking if he should give an example to Diandra to enjoy western food.
Actually, he really wanted to directly use both hands without involving the knife which is considered a sharp weapon, but was embarrassed there Yoshi who might laugh at him.
However, he who intended to use a knife and could cut food on the plate, now seemed relieved when he heard the sound of baritone from Yoshi.
"You just eat according to your version that is fun or makes it easy to enjoy the food. I wouldn't have taken you to a place like this if it wasn't for work."
Yoshi actually wants to do romantic things like everyone else when dating. Like cutting steak to make it easier for couples to enjoy it.
However, he thought that such a thing would look exaggerated in the eyes of a Diandra who was very difficult to approach because of closing herself up.
"I'll take you to a roadside stall where the food is no less delicious than an expensive restaurant like this. Don't you feel uncomfortable eating with a knife? So, just use your hands is fine."
Diandra did feel relieved at Yoshi's understanding, but still felt confused because he did not want to make the man ilfil her.
"Indeed I used to eat using my hands when eating catfish pecels or rooster chicken. In the meantime, it really makes me dizzy to be faced with this sharp weapon" Diandra said, pointing out the knife in her right hand.
However, he instead saw Yoshi laughing as he pointed out a sharp weapon that might be able to instantly sever the vein.
"Your face is really very funny, Diandra." Yoshi still couldn't stop laughing from seeing the innocent face of the woman who always said anything truthfully.
If he often saw the women being elegant while eating, but today Diandra made him feel that the fact is that the majority of people would eat without shame if not together with a man.
"alright. If you don't like that sharp weapon, just say it and do it to your liking. Or do you want me to cut it small and just enjoy it?" Finally he felt safe when making Diandra choose one of the options he gave.
At this time, Diandra did not immediately answer because he was staring at the food he had never enjoyed.
Not wanting to make Yoshi see how to eat, so now directly give the plate to the man who was still staring at him intensely.
"Please cut it small so I can enjoy it easily. You are right, that I can enjoy it at will. It's just, it's a fancy restaurant and it doesn't feel right if I stain it with my way of eating, doesn't it?"
Yoshi immediately moved to help cut the chicken meat made from the steak. However, this time he disagreed with Diandra's thinking.
"Are we not in a private room? So, it doesn't matter if you eat in any way because no one sees it." Talking continues to cut the small food on the plate.
Meanwhile, Diandra immediately shook his head. "No! I'd love to feel what it's like to be the one to enjoy expensive food elegantly and show you. You'll rate it later, huh? How much did it go?"
"Oh yeah, next time I buy a pecel catfish or a chicken penyet near the big road area where my old boarding house." Diandra was really very excited when talking about her favorite food.
"There is very famous delicious food and I once bought and was addicted because there are many kinds of chili served and take it myself as much as I'm happy."
"There is sambal terasi, sambal geprek, sambal ijo and lastly sambal matah. Oh yeah, you like sambal or not? I don't want to take you out to eat chili when you don't like it." He was currently cursing his folly once he realized something that was forgotten.
Unlike Yoshi who is currently just finished cutting the chicken steak, immediately handed it to Diandra to immediately enjoy it.
"Now eat. Take it easy, I like the sambal menu the most. So, take me there sometime." Just as Yoshi was closing his mouth, he heard the ringing sound of his cell phone and checked who was contacting him.
Curious, not wasting time, he immediately swiped the green button up and heard a baritone sound from across the phone, none other than his best friend and wants to find out if Austin is still with him or is gone.
