My Hate, the Water of His Eyes (The End of A Taste)
Crazy Customer

The breeze of the night and the pounding of the waves accompanied the lonely night and the solitude of Leo who had seen the night sky without stars.

Loaded with sand on the beach Leo threw his body up into the sky. The atmosphere of the beach is quiet and dark is not a problem for him. Right now he just needs a place to be alone and calm his mood.

The shadow as Mama Mila slapped him continuously approached as Leo closed his eyes. Not only that, even the shadow of Fandy drinking from the same straw as Syera seemed to disturb his mind. Also how Fandy stroked the hair of Syera did not escape the memory of Leo.

Leo opened his eyes, lifting his body even though it was so heavy that it approached the waves as if racing towards him.

The water had covered up to Leo's ankle but he still continued to walk forward until the water reached his knee.

"Hey, stupid! Are you gonna drown, huh?" shouted the coast guard.

Jlubb!

Leo drowned his entire body just like that and paid no heed to someone yelling at him.

The man who served as the lifeguard was amazed by what his eyes saw. It was deserted and there was no one else there except himself.

Hurriedly the man threw the contents of his pocket into the sand and ran towards the position where Leo had been.

Srakkk

Not to mention the lifeguard reached his destination he was again surprised by the splashing of water and saw the appearance of Leo in the same place.

There were probably about ten seconds of Leo drowning his body and appearing again.

"Hey, asshole! Why not just die? You made my heart almost go out," the lifeguard said furiously.

Once relaxed Leo turned around and came out of the water just like that without caring about the meaning thrown at him.

The coast guard was irritated and was like being played. He chased after Leo who was already on land and pulled the back of his shirt.

"Well! Do you realize your behavior was very dangerous and made me hang when I saw it! Whatever your problem, don't do anything stupid."

Leo brushed off the man's hand and drove to his car. The lifeguard could only swear at him.

In a drenched state Leo again laid his body on the steering chair. Intentionally he left the car window next to him open so that he could feel the night breeze that was increasingly piercing to the bone.

..........

Evening changed in the morning, today's activities began again. In his room Syera was preparing to leave for work while Fandy had already left first to take care of a cooperation project with company Y. It seems that during this week he will be so busy because he has to jump into the field directly considering he is the one in control of the project.

"Spirited, Shera. You're strong enough to go this far," encouraged yourself.

Handbag made of cloth he hung on the right shoulder and wear sneakers that have been used for three years both while still in college and while working.

Although it was bad but because Syera diligently washed it, the shoes were still too good and worthy to wear.

"Geez!"

So shocked Syera jumped when she opened the door. In front of the door of his apartment, Leo was crouching with both hands holding even looks like gripping his head.

Seeing no movement from Leo until Syera closed the door he took the initiative to ask the man's condition.

"Are you okay?"

Leo remained silent and did not move from his position. Syera researched and made her feel that there was something strange about seeing the wet floor. The bead looks for a source that soaks the floor.

Syera was fixed on the sneakers that Leo was wearing. Because some of it is made of fabric material then anyone can see if a pair of footwear is wet.

"Master-" Syera fell silent as she again rebuked Leo as her index finger patted Leo's shoulder. Plastered palms and slightly squeezing a t-shirt attached to Leo's body to convince what was on the index finger earlier.

Leo's clothes are so damp and cold.

"Sir, are you okay? Your clothes-"

"It's none of your business" Leo's heavy voice suddenly sounded. He stood up even though he looked a little troubled.

"Do you need anything?"

Pale and shabby face, eyes that are so heavy and soft because it holds pain in the head but his gaze still looks so sharp when he turned to Syera.

The entire body of Leo from top to bottom feels so painful. His head was so heavy not to mention his body temperature and his breath being so hot. Leo was holding back pain especially his head as if he was carrying a heavy load and stabbed thousands of needles.

Leo took off one by one all that was attached to his body and went into the bathroom. His clothes were on the floor. He flushed all over his body with warm water. His body temperature was indeed so warm but he also shivered in the cold.

Just using the bathrobe Leo climbed up on his bed and sent a message to Bima to hand over the office business today to the assistant. After putting down her dress she pulled the blanket and wrapped her whole body in the soft cloth.

..........

"It's been a long time, pa. Sorry mom only comes once a year."

A woman dressed in white looked at the tomb that he had not visited for a long time. Seven years had been long gone and every year she always came to commemorate the day of her husband's death. Bayu Suntama name engraved on a tombstone.

While spreading flowers on the vortex that was now covered with green grass, Mama Mila continued to speak as if the man who had lived bones could listen.

"Did you see it from up there? You must be angry and disappointed, right? The hand that always lifts it when it falls and that which should wipe away tears hits it."

The tears that he had been able to bear finally fell. Crying sobbing, his heart breaking and hurting as he remembered what he had done to his son.

"Of course you're angry, right? The boy we've educated so well loves me but on the other hand since you left he can turn into a hard boy. Sometimes he cannot control his speech. Mama also didn't want Fandy to feel sad to hear Leo."

"Pa, what should my mom do? Fandy likes the girl, even if there's no blood relation aren't they both your children? You know, that girl's face looks a lot like her mother's and doesn't look like you at all."

Perih and pain that's what Mama Mila felt when saying it. Her tears and tears had stopped but the sadness would never disappear from her heart.

"I must be crazy to tell a story while crying here. I'm sorry if those two kids didn't come to visit you, or those three kids, hahaha..."

"Well... It's late afternoon, I have to go home. Are you lonely alone in there? It's your fault you left too soon and didn't take me."

Mama Mila looked at the car she was riding in. There, Asep was waiting with his eyes fixed on the master. The man who had been considered a brother by Mama Mila was always patiently waiting for him every time he went to the grave of her husband. Like today, it had been more than an hour that Mama Mila was eaten by her husband.

..........

"Did he think he was a sultan or a young master?" cerocos was one of the waitresses who worked at Linda's mother's restaurant.

Since then he has gone back and forth to the kitchen to convey the message of one customer who made him rise to tension but he must bear considering the customer is the king who must be served and respected.

"What's the matter, brother?" ask Syera.

Today because the dishwasher section behind Syera's entrance barrier took over the part based on the games made by the employees.

The more days the restaurant is getting crowded and people who work have increased. Even Linda's mother intends to enlarge her restaurant. Linda's mother only needs a little more time until the required costs are met.

"Obviously, there's crazy customers."

Haha...

The employees in the kitchen laughed but remained focused on what they were doing because of the orders that kept coming from customers.

"If crazy anterin dong to a mental hospital," chirped the employees who were mopping dishes in the pan.

Haha....

The sound of laughter filled the kitchen that is quite hot, especially the sound coming from cooking utensils increasingly add to the variety of sounds.

"Who tries not to get upset. Here there is no ginger water menu with honey but insist on the message. See noh the Mery was kind to him until the quayeng but still asked to change because it was not the same as he had ever drank he said."

"Ginger water?" ask Syera to clarify.

"Hoo'oh! Partly very difficult anyway, just go and buy or ask someone who has made it for him to ask for it. It's so hard to get!"

"Patience, brother."

"I'm patient if in front of the guest but different when in the kitchen. Haha...."

An employee walks into the kitchen and asks back the customer's order, which was said to be insane.

"Ginger, water and honey. Tell her to make her own home," growled Mery showing what she had mentioned.

Haha...

The laughter of the workers in the kitchen broke again until Linda's mother who was at the cashier table was shocked and could only shake her head when she heard the boisterous coming from the kitchen.

"Later, if the ginger water is ready, let me aja kak interunggara forward," said Syera while the waitress who had been so upset smiling to make a heart shape on Syera.
