"Mr, why is it?" asked Meli when she entered and saw the father who lay weak in a mattress that might be called by residents who helped Mr. Anwar who collapsed that night in the mosque complex.
When he was going home after praying Isya, Mr. Anwar suddenly fainted. While Meli as the only family can not be contacted because her cellphone is out of power.
And because of his busyness, until Meli also ignored his cellphone which was dead. Until Meli did not know if the father fainted.
Until 9 pm Meli also just knew the state of the father when he came home from work among his coworkers Reza.
Meli also went straight to the father who at that time looked so pale at being followed by Reza who panicked and came in just like that when he saw residents calling Meli in a hurry.
"You're home, son? Dad's okay, Dad's just dizzy, you're here between your girlfriends huh? Here son, come closer," said Mr. Anwar who made Meli's forehead shrivel.
'A girlfriend? where there is, just thinking about it is not. Where can I have a boyfriend from?' mind Meli monologue.
However, he was made to jerk when Mr. Anwar looked at someone behind him. And how surprised Meli was when Mr. Anwar sent Reza to approach.
Reza nodded politely and then moved closer to the middle-aged man who was currently lying weakly on a mattress that was held on the floor.
Although hesitant, Reza finally sat beside Meli and listened to what would be conveyed by the father of his coworkers.
"What's your name, son?" asked Mr. Anwar with a soft voice.
"Reza Sir. My name is Reza Ahmad Rahadi,"
"Good name, how long have you known each other?"
Instantly, Reza and Meli reflexively glanced at each other. I don't know what the meaning of the question that Mr. Anwar just glided at her however, Reza tried to answer as usual.
"It's been almost a year sir" Reza answered honestly because it was from the moment Bian began to pursue Laras again and reunited with Laraslah Reza began to know Meli.
Often asked to help the young woman's work in the shop owned by Laras makes Reza finally get to know Meli.
Mr. Anwar smiled gently and looked at the boy and the young man sitting next to the princess.
"Can you ask for help, son Reza?" ask her again in a voice getting louder.
"Can you sir, what can I help you with?"
"Father no longer has time, will Nak Reza be able to take over Meli's responsibilities, starting from now on?"
Degs...
Both Reza and Meli were equally surprised by the request Mr. Anwar said. Meli stared filled with worry.
Both are no longer ABG children who do not know the implied meaning of every word that is spoken from the lips of Mr. Anwar.
But the thing is, the two do not even have a more relationship. Just familiar at work, it only met once a month when working on monthly bookkeeping from two stores owned by Laras.
Then, how could Meli possibly sassy this to Reza. Of course Meli is very self-aware, even the social status between herself and Reza is much different, of course Meli will reject the request of the father.
"Sir, I misunderstood. We don't have such a relationship sir, you're just____"
"I can sir, even if you ask for it right now. I'll do it,"
Meli's speech was cut short when Reza firmly answered the request from Mr. Anwar. At once Meli could not say a word, could only stare full of questions at the man who was always economical to talk when together with her it.
Reza himself only smiled faintly when he saw how shocked Meli was at the moment. Reza gave a small nod to convince Meli what would happen after.
Meli herself can only look down with the roar of tears that are now present on her beautiful face.
