PARTING: NEWLYWED
CHAPTER 38: DISAPPOINTED

It was exhausting, but satisfied with the results. Because seeing the rupiah coffers piled up in the cashier drawer. Not to mention the smile of the spirit of the employees who look friendly greet the customers.

That is a plus of our cafe so that customers feel at home and want to come back to our cafe.

"It's been over two weeks from the one month Tama promised. Is the project big? One month more is not finished. Usually just watching at the beginning, then it can be left to others." I muttered in wonder while grumbling inwardly.

A little bored and getting bored to wait but also hoping, hopefully he will be back soon. Surprise like that night. Hope I am in my heart.

I went back and forth with my phone in my hand hoping for a message from Tama. But it was late at night and there was no news from him. I decided it was better to just sleep.

This morning my breakfast was tasteless like never before. Like there is less that I usually do this breakfast activity everyday. I became imagined at breakfast with Tama first when I first entered this world, even though only silence each other and there is no talk between us while eating.

And at Tania's arrival too, the beginning of my days felt more filled. Then the shadow of when Tama and I were closer and always together also often appeared in my head now.

I who are not usually like this become disturbed because I am often found to look dumb at work hours. I sometimes get knocked out of daydreams by Deri.

"Hayooh, the boss is dumb again." Deri surprised me again.

"Boss' mom has been three times I've cheated. Tumben so much today. What's wrong, ma'am?" ask Deri with a chatter.

"Bu boss again misses her husband Der." said Tina who came carrying a basket containing flowers. Looks like it's just been picked up from the back garden. I didn't pay much attention because it seemed like I was daydreaming all the time.

"You've almost two months the boss is left alone" he added again and put a flower basket.

I was shocked when Deri hit the table right in front of me. "You guys if there's nothing, I like gossip" I said, evading Tina's accusation.

"This is the flower I helped with the work." I grabbed the basket and took out the contents and busied myself so as not to remember Tama continues.

Kangen said, Tina's words made me even more thoughtful.

"I miss Tama?" ask myself in my heart.

Is it possible that this feeling of longing like Tama always felt? Because the man also often wrote the word miss or miss in every chat and phone. I think his words were snarled at me.

Did Tama also deliberately not give me news lately because so that I also feel what she feels huh?

I kept guessing while this hand was working on flower arrangement.

...* * *...

"Kling." the tone of the incoming message sounded from my phone. I hurriedly checked it.

From Deri, "Boss doesn't go to work? We ordered a little today. If you're done, can you close early, right?" ask from the incoming message.

Today I was too lazy to go to work. It feels like my body feels heavy to move, as a result I just stay at home, more precisely in the room while lying down.

"Yes, set it as you please. Don't forget to lock the door properly." I reply in the message. Then I put my phone back.

Taking a deep breath I drowned my face in the pillow. The warm smiling shadow of Tama's face, the shadow of her gentle kiss and her cute laugh that looks cool. All of that comes to my mind every time I close my eyes.

It seems like I really miss it, I acknowledge my feelings in my heart.

I think it's true, if the miss is crazy. Until closing his eyes, Tama's shadow is always there.

I was in a hurry to check again. This time it was from Tama. My lips by themselves singled out a meaningless happy smile. It's like something I've been up to all this time I finally got too.

"Shina I miss." The simple sentence that made my heart flutter every word was embedded in the message. And that message was the first one he sent. Usually he will ask pleasantries first like what I am doing or have eaten what not.

I replied to her message with the same word, "I miss it too. When's home?" ask me to know.

Wait a long time, "I'll try to come home tomorrow." he replied.

Smile broadly, "I'm waiting." I reply. Then I insert the love emoji to end my message.

It felt like my whole body was goosebumps after sending that message, looking as if I was confessing my own feelings at the moment.

I also smile to myself. I don't know, there's a silly feeling in this, too. I also can't wait to hurry tomorrow.

I went to the cafe this afternoon. A good mood has a good impact around ya.

Yes, after receiving a message from Tama earlier my spirit seemed to come back again. This body feels the spirit back to work. Maybe because it's getting a recharge even if it's just from a message.

There are a lot of people I greet today, whether customers or employees. I want to share this happy feeling with everyone. I also help my employees serve customers and clean up the cafe when it's about to close.

The cafe children to feel astonished by my behavior that looks cheap smile tonight. But I don't care about it.

Today I purposely took the day off not to work in florists and cafes. I want to prepare myself to welcome Tama's arrival.

Until the time is already noon Tama also has not come. I saw my phone, no message from him. I sent him a message not to reply. I contacted him first and was not answered by him. Until the afternoon there was no sign of his arrival.

I often see the page where the car is parked but also never seen there is a new car entering the yard. Sometimes I also look at the courtyard from the balcony of the room, still there is no sign of Tama's arrival as well.

I who was impatiently waiting for his arrival now feel annoyed to be irritated because I have to wait. Even at night, he had not yet come home.

"Miss Shina. Miss wake up." Merlin's voice faintly sounded in my ear making me blink because my body was also slightly shaking.

"The other servant said Miss had not eaten since this morning and also during the day. It's past dinner, miss eat first huh. I've prepared it at the table." said Merlin after waking me up asleep on the front room couch.

I squinted my eyes and then woke up, sitting and collecting my life. I saw a large wall clock in the room, the needle showing at 9pm and 20 minutes. I am still sleepy and my stomach is hungry. But I had no more appetite to eat after asking Merlin if Tama had come, he answered her with a sledgehammer and said not yet.

I gave the order to Merlin to keep the food first. With a disappointed look I then moved to the room to continue sleeping again.

"Say he's coming home today. Waiting until night had not come." I grumbled up the stairs and then I closed the door violently.

"Based on men, not in the real world not in novels. Equally big talk." I as Rona so ranting itself also happens if any woman is promised like this.

Already planning a holiday from work because it wants to welcome the arrival of the husband, but instead only a promise that makes the wife feel blown by the wind after her heart flowers.

I then dropped my body into the bed and immediately went back to sleep without caring anymore Tama's message that he said would go home today.
