There were no tears pouring down her cheeks. Remembering all the good memories with Papa and Mama. Alia and Andra threw each other a look full of wonder at Elvan who shed tears.
''Elvan, are you okay?'' alia said as she moved her palm in front of Elvan's face but Elvan did not react.
''Ms Elvan!" call Andra while patting Elvan on the shoulder. Only then did Elvan realize that his imagination had soared in the past.
''Eh yes. Sorry, why?'' said Elvan who realized that her tears had drenched her cheeks. Elvan hurriedly rubbed it.
''You cry?'' alia lirih.
''Who too? huh huh huh! This is bad, '' Elvan denied while hurriedly downing a glass of water in front of him.
''Is this cooking bad? I make it not very painful.''
''Yes I don't like spicy food, '' said Elvan who tried to cover up his sadness.
''Sorry, I don't know.'' Alia.
''Enak no Mas, Kak Alia's cooking?''
''Son of. It's really delicious, though. Tomorrow please do it again. And take it to campus. So tomorrow I have breakfast made elo. Calm down I'll pay.''
''You sure? do you like gini village food? not what stomach pain? that is petai. You are not afraid of the smell if in deketin girls.''
''Hahaha, no. Eating petai does not make my nervousness fade, said Elvan confidently.
''Hhh, start deh, '' murmured Alia.
''And the banana fried elo is also delicious. Tomorrow bring also yes, let's eat the same kids. And relax, I pay too. Okay.''
''I-iya deh. I hope I remember.''
''Yes, you have to remember. I'll pay! Relax I bought two hundred thousand elo perporsi food. How's it?''
''Huh? two hundred grand? that's costliness. The most bought outside is only ten thousand.''
''The next morning, bring me breakfast to college. Keep going, elo to my masakin house. And when you're done coming home from laundry, you stop by here and bring me dinner. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, each I give two hundred thousand. So if elo masakin me every month, can be calculated every month elo get how much? Aye right?'' said Elvan who tried to reprimand Alia.
''Well, if that's like Alia's salary, many times more than my work, '' Andra chirped.
''Andra, you are this.''
''You think first. If you agree, contact me. Where's elo's phone, I write my number, let's elo contact me, '' said Elvan. Alia hesitantly pulled out her phone and gave it to Elvan. Elvan immediately wrote down her name and mobile number on Alia's contact. Then he called his own number with Alia's phone, to find out Alia's mobile number.
''No, that was my save.''
''Eits, don't change. Just be careful if you get to change elo, '' threatened Elvan.
''This is my phone. So like me dong.''
''Udah, don't change. What's the trouble anyway? Right I also want to give the name of what, '' forced Elvan on Alia. While Andra could only hold back her laughter seeing Elvan and Alia's cute demeanor.
''The real name is ELVAN NGGAK NO AKHLAK PEMER GHIBAH,'' Alia murmured in her heart with annoyance in the crown. Alia can only give in and obey Elvan's wishes. Alia and Andra finally came home because the day was getting late. Poor Mr. Samir if you have to be alone at home.
...****************...
Arriving home, Alia immediately entered her room. Suddenly a reminder alarm on his phone went off. Alia opened it immediately. A reminder of Mr. Samir's insulin control schedule and injection in the hospital tomorrow. The reminder coincides with water and electricity bills maturing simultaneously. Alia no longer has any savings. Alia recalled that the rice stock in the kitchen is only for tomorrow. Alia was really sad and confused. Alia also did not want to charge it to Andra. He did not want to disturb Andra's concentration for school. Let the money of Andra's labor be used for Andra's own benefit. He could not bear to ask Andra for money. Moreover, Andra's part-time salary, also not much. Even since work, Andra never again asked for allowance and gas money on Alia. Although all this time Andra never asked Alia but Alia herself who always gave it. Alia feels a great responsibility to her sister. Because Alia realized, Andra grew up without the figure of a mother. Alia then recalled Elvan's offer.
''Did I accept Elvan's offer? It is also halal work. Poor Dad and Andra like this. Oh, my God, do I take it?" said Alia who was having a dialogue with herself. Alia immediately took ablution water to perform the isya' prayer'. Who knows with Alia prayers can make the right decision.
Rendra who was in the cafe looked dreamy while staring at the photo of Alia on her phone.
"Alia, why do I feel like we're not as close as we used to be? why do I feel like there is a distance between us? I honestly miss you Alia. What because since there is a cafe and I was busy taking care of the cafe, so we only have a little time. I want to feel like I'm calling you Alia right away. You are the dream woman of every man. Oh yeah, do I bring Alia food tomorrow. I wonder how Alia commented on my cooking. And I miss Alia's sambal petai cuisine too." Rendra put her phone back in her pocket and she came home soon. On the way, Rendra saw a taxi pull over. Rendra sees Sandra coming out of the taxi and sees Sandra vomiting on the side of the road. Rendra stopped the car and approached Sandra.
"Sandra's? you why?" ask Rendra. Rendra smelled a very sharp smell of alcohol. Sandra who was bent over to vomit, looked up as soon as she heard a familiar voice in her ears.
"Rendra. Hey, what's the matter here?" sandra asked with her drunk voice and her staggering body.
"You drunk, San?"
"No. I'm not drunk, just drink a little" Sandra said with a laugh. But suddenly Sandra fainted and her body staggered towards Rendra. Rendra's reflex captures Sandra's body.
''Sir, just stay. Let me take it home, Rendra told the taxi driver.
''Yes, Mas.''
''Oh yes this is the fare, '' said Rendra while giving money from his pants pocket to the taxi driver.
''Thank you, Mas.'' The taxi driver said and then the taxi driver left. Rendra grabbed Sandra and took Sandra into her car. Rendra immediately opened the lid of the bottle of mineral water and tried to drink it to Sandra.
''San, let's drink this water. So that you're good, said Rendra while patting Sandra's shoulder so that Sandra woke up. Sandra slowly opened her eyes and downed the drink given by Rendra. The dizziness and nausea that Sandra felt slightly subsided.
''Now I'm taking you home. Where do you live?''
''I live in Sunrise apartment 15th floor, room 205, ''' Sandra said with her voice still drunk. Then Sandra went back unconscious. Rendra could only shake his head at Sandra's attitude which he thought was inappropriate for a woman. Rendra immediately drove her car to Sandra's apartment.
