MAHMUD, I Love U
Warteg Roadside

"Mayra's phone is with you??"

Lina looked at Risa right inside her eyes. The girl just wanted to get the real answer, although Risa was very good at lying, but Lina did not give up. He will try to read the truth from the look in Risa's eyes.

"Mayra's phone? You're accusing me?" Risa asked back with a sharp look in Lina's eyes.

"I'm not accusing. I just asked," Kilah Lina shook her head.

Risa chuckles. "That's on what basis? You came here all night and asked Mayra's phone. In conclusion you're sure Mayra's phone is on me, right?" Risa's eyes sharply dodged probing.

"You can just answer my question right away, right? Yes or no?" Urged Lina.

"What's in it for you if I answer? You're gonna report to Mayra?"

Both of them were silent for a moment. Risa has now folded both hands in front of her chest and her right leg crossed over her left leg.

"That's Lin, just go home! Didn't you say you didn't want to work with me anymore? So now you shouldn't have to discuss Mayra with me, right? In any case!" Risa said firmly.

Lina snorted in annoyance. But he still hasn't given up. In her heart was already ingrained a great guilt towards Mayra. For that he wants to make up for everything. At least, by finding Mayra's lost phone, it was enough to help relieve her heart that lately felt claustrophobic.

"You were in Copikita yesterday, right?" Ask Lina again.

"Yes, I went there. Then what's the problem?"

The two women were still throwing questions at each other. The cafe was tidy by then, and the employees were already preparing to go home. But seeing that her boss was still inside, one of the representatives of them came to see Risa to say goodbye.

"Mom, we'll excuse you to go home first, yes," said one employee representative asking for permission.

Risa did not speak because of her condition that began to emotion Lina, she could only answer the words of her employees with a nod of the head. Before long, all the employees had already left Orenji. In there now only left Risa and Lina alone, both.

"The thing is, Mayra's phone went missing yesterday. A very coincidental coincidence, right?" Lina explained everything.

"Hahaha, oh, it's up to you! I'm tired. I'm going home. If you want to stay here, please!" Risa got up from her chair and prepared to leave the cafe ignoring Lina.

Lina snorted in annoyance as the woman did not give him a clear answer at all. Lina got up and walked out of the cafe.

"You're here on an ojek?" Risa asked when she found that there was only her car in the parking lot. Lina just kept quiet. He was already lazy to talk to the woman behind him. Lina still continues her path.

"Hey, if you need a ride, let's get to my car, don't take pride!" Shouted Risa while half laughing.

Lina did not stop her steps at all let alone turn around. He continued walking towards the road to find a taxi.

Elsewhere, Mayra was queuing at the gas station to give her car a drink. He was so happy that night because his line was back. His heart also felt relieved after quite a long time harboring guilt on the girl who adored his heart as if he snatched it.

"Rendra, now she's got a boyfriend?" Mayra spoke to herself as she stared at the two cars in front of her who were also lined up waiting for the turn of the tank hole filled by officers.

"So fast?" Mayra still muttered to herself.

"Yes, that's not impossible either. He's handsome, he's smart, he's also fun, it must be quick for him to get another woman." Mayra began to fumble considering all the advantages that Rendra had.

Then the woman chuckled to herself. There was absolutely no intention in her to fall in love with a man who was much younger than her. However, Mayra also could not deny that even though the age of Rendra was far below him, but the thought of the man could not be underestimated. In many ways Rendra can be much more mature than he is.

Mayra stepped on her car's gas pedal to advance a few inches from the queue. He still enjoys his own thoughts. Without him knowing, a few meters behind him there is a motorcycle Rendra who had been waiting in line while watching the car in front of him. Rendra knew very well that the white car in front of him was Mayra's car.

Rendra proposes his motorbike to the exit of the gas station intending to wait for Mayra. He wanted to ask the woman for an explanation about last night.

Before long, Mayra's car had finished refueling and drove slowly towards the highway. From the windshield of his car, Mayra could clearly see the motorbike and Rendra was standing there. The woman squinted her eyes in fear of seeing wrong. But the man in front of him was indeed Rendra. The man waved his hand asking Mayra to stop.

"What's wrong?" Mayra asked when she stopped her car near Rendra's motorbike.

"I need to talk" replied Rendra approaching Mayra's open car window.

"important?" Mayra hesitated to accept the request of the man who stopped her.

Rendra nodded. Mayra bit her lip, she hesitated. Mayra scratched her non-itchy ear. For a moment he thought as his eyes turned forward.

"Hm, let's just go to that stall, yeah!" Mayra then invited Rendra to speak at the front stall.

Mayra parked her car on the side of the road followed by Rendra. Then the two went into a roadside food stall that peddled various kinds of processed food at home a.k.a warteg.

"Eat, Tea? Aa?" Ask the friendly waiter to welcome two of his customers.

(Teh \= Mbak, Aa \= Mas)

"I'm asking for iced tea, ma'am one, '" Pinta Mayra sat in a long wooden chair overlooking various menus that were displayed inside a glass box in front of her. "You eat, Ren?" Mayra asked the man who was still standing next to her.

Rendra shakes. "I'm asking for coffee, ma'am. Oh yes Miss punten, I also want the emping yes," said Rendra while pointing at the emping package behind the shop mother.

"May A, mango," said the mother, taking out a few packs of emping that Rendra pointed at and handing them over.

Rendra sat down beside Mayra and opened two packs of emping, one for Mayra, and one for her. Without further ado Rendra immediately put one emping into his mouth and chewed it crispy.

"Where are you from these nights?" Ask Rendra in between his emping.

"Eat with Lina earlier," Mayra replied honestly.

Rendra nodded. He understood, because this afternoon he had seen Mayra make up with his friend. And it was only natural that that night they met directly to eat together.

"You yourself, what's the need to stop me? You following me?" Guess Mayra was suspicious. Because it was not just once twice that he accidentally met Rendra on the street.

Rendra chuckles. Then shake his head for sure. "I wanted to fill up my gas too, and I happened to see in front of your car. Because there is something that you have to explain to me, so I deliberately stood there earlier," said Rendra as she turned her head towards where she was standing waiting for Mayra earlier.

"explain to you? About what?" Mayra was confused by the request of the man beside her.

"It's sweet tea and coffee, A," the mother told Rendra in the middle of a conversation between the two customers. That night the stall was quiet, there was only Mayra and Rendra there.

"Nuhun, ma'am," said Rendra received two glasses of his order. He placed the two glasses on a small table in front of him.

(Nuhun \= thanks)

"Explain what?" Mayra asked impatiently.

Rendra looked at the face of the lady in front of him. Although they sat next to each other, but their position at that time seemed to be facing each other. It felt like he hadn't sat face to face with Mayra that close that night. Rendra sighed. The feeling of longing is still there. He still loves that woman.

Behind the eyes of Mayra who was also staring, there was still a feeling of longing there. Immediately Mayra bowed her head avoiding Rendra's eyes. His heart started to rustle.

"I have to go home!"
