My Hate, the Water of His Eyes (The End of A Taste)
There's No way That's Him

Syera ran small with plastic bags of trash in both hands.

"Well... Finished too," patted his palms and ruffled his waist. He would return to the restaurant where he worked to enjoy dinner.

His body had been quite tired all day, his energy seemed to be drained. And now it's time to replenish his body's ammunition.

The restaurant owner just smiled at how greedy Syera was to finish all the dishes. Not to mention one glass of soursop juice that he made himself from the rest of the pieces of fruit that had been purchased by customers.

"I can actually stay in the back room, right, ma'am?" tanya Syera made sure to Linda's mother, the restaurant owner.

"If there is no place to live, you can stay there for a while. You don't have a problem with that bathroom. You can keep it until you get a place to stay."

"Yes, mom. It's okay, ma'am. I can find a place to sleep to be thankful."

"Yes already. If it is finished, it is better to take a shower and rest. Don't forget your suitcase and backpack," reminded Syera while pointing at the object in question that was near the cashier's desk.

"Yes, mom. I washed my former meal first."

He carried all his old dinner plates and Linda's mother, washed them clean and put them on the dish rack. A moment later he remembered something and immediately approached Linda's mother.

"I'm asking for help, ma'am. If anyone finds me and asks where I live, don't tell me, ma'am. Especially with Fandy."

"Am I a nobody to you?"

Syera and Linda's mother turned their eyes to a man who had just opened the door of the restaurant.

"Sister Fandy?"

..........

At two o'clock in the morning Syera was still awake from her sleep. For the first time he slept on a large and soft bed for the rest of his life. Although for the sake of his eyes never closed.

He got out of bed and opened the door. His sight captured the existence of Fandy who was sleeping soundly on the sofa. He closed the door again and crouched down hugging his knees, crying silently and bowing his head.

She should have been able to resist even harder when Fandy forced her to come along and took her to the apartment. It's been enough Fandy's been helping her. Even because of this, Fandy must feel the anger of Leo. Syera doesn't want to anymore because she Fandy got in trouble again.

But what to say, Fandy immediately pulled Syera's suitcase and backpack, put it in the trunk of the car. After that, he pulled out Syera's hand to get in the car.

Throughout the journey Syera continued to refuse but completely ignored by Fandy until he ended up in the room of the current fandy.

I don't know what time Syera was able to fall asleep last night when she woke up, she who was sitting on the floor found herself on the bed and wearing a blanket.

"Away awake?" greet Fandy smiled as Syera walked out of the room. "Wash your face and brush your teeth, after which we have breakfast together."

Syera complied and did what Fandy said. Fifteen minutes later he was sitting opposite the man at the dinner table.

"Eat," put a plate of seafood fried rice in front of Syera.

"Sister, i...,"

"Seat your breakfast and don't talk while eating" Fandy said.

Only the sound of a spoon was heard until the two of them finished their breakfast.

"Let me, brother."

Syera held Fandy's hand when she was going to clean the food marks on the table. So deftly Syera cleaned the dining table and washed all the former tableware they had used. While Syera is busy, Fandy gets dressed and gets ready for work.

"Why did you sleep on the couch last night, brother? Isn't there two rooms?"

"Just in case you secretly ran away last night," scrambled Syera's hair but tidied it back up.

"Hihihi. "the laughter of the sheera grinned. "Will you leave now?"

"Yes, last night's office wasn't done."

"She will also go."

"Where?" ask Leon not to like it.

"Syera wants to find a boarding place, brother. I also need a place to stay" he explained.

"You can stay here. No one is forbidden" said Fandy seriously.

"But brother," denied Shera.

"Do you have a lot of money for rent? If you have, here give me money in exchange for a broken motorcycle," extended his palm to Syera.

Syera slammed because he did not tell at all about the motorcycle that had been ranged to anyone including Fandy.

"I'm sorry, brother. Later if I already have the money I will change but by way of repayment, hehehe..."

"Stay here and do your homework instead. How, would you? Doesn't a sister have to obey her brother?"

"But-but,"

"You can still keep working at the restaurant and don't think too much, okay?" glancing at his watch. "Yes, I'm going first. Be careful going to work later," Fandy hurriedly put on his shoes and put on his backpack.

Syera doesn't know if staying with Fandy was the right decision or not.

He saw the pillows and blankets Fandy used to sleep on last night. When grabbing a blanket and going to fold it a wallet fell on the floor.

"Fandy's wallet."

Still in nightgown and unraveling hair, Syera ran after Fandy.

Because he ran he did not realize that the door of the apartment next to Fandy's was open.

"She" muttered Leo as a woman he seemed to know just ran past his door. The position of Leo who was looking down tidying up the suit made it not so clear who had run.

Leo turned to the left hallway but Syera had first entered the elevator.

"There's no way it's him" muttered Leo again.

The elevator door opened and when the secretary Bima who was about to pick up Leo saw Syera running and chasing Fandy who was about to get into the car.

"Sister Fandy!" call Syera slightly raising her voice.

The quiet basement atmosphere made the sound of Syera directly heard by Fandy.

As she ran, Syera lifted her wallet in her hand.

"Hah.hah..hah.." the breath of Syera. "Here, here's my sister's purse," handed over what she had brought.

"Where's phone?" asked Fandy a little laugh at the state of Syera.

"Huh? A cellphone? Make what?" syera answered confused.

"You can call that."

"Huh? Oh yeah." oh yeah." Syera realized her stupidity that did not think to get there. "Why not, consider it a sport."

"Thank you, go back and take a break before you go to work."

Sheera nodded her head and Fandy passed from before her. He was a little relieved when he saw the man was still using the car he had been wearing. At least Leo didn't interfere with the facilities given to Fandy.

..........

"Where is he?"

"I mean sir?" I don't understand the people Leo is talking about.

"That woman. Are you sure he's not coming home at night?"

"No, sir. She's not with that woman named Jelita's mom either."

"Please sir," opened the car door on Leo. Bima circled the front of the car and sat in the driver's seat. "Em..," Bima wasn't sure if she should tell Leo what she saw in the basement.

"Why?"

"No sir," undoes his intention. "The XXXXX restaurant is where she worked as a waitress since graduating high school until now."

"really?" grinning while stroking the bottom of his lips.

"How is the development of cooperation with the Y company?" Leo switched their discussion.

Bima was silent for a moment did not expect Leo would immediately question the cooperation of Suntama's group with the company Y.

"Aren't you listening? How's it?" pissed Leo.

"Sorry sir. I heard sir. If it doesn't matter, we'd better talk at the office later, sir."

"All right."
