Sandriana, My Lovely Sist
Part 51's. The past is part of life
Sandriana stuffed her dress into the pocket of the loose trousers she was wearing. Her sister just closed the call telling me this week she can't come to town S because of her job. Dria prefers it, likes her brother who is focused on her work rather than just coming for ‘mengganggenggulf’ herself.
Actually, he began to think also the circumstances of his brother who turned out not to playfully had dropped the choice on him. Feeling guilty because her brother once said if Dria did not want to marry him then Sandro would never marry. Ahh, is it just to intimidate her or threaten her or a surrender to fate?
“Sandriana?”
Someone greeted Dria who was walking past a group of young women who were picking things on one of the shelves. Not far from them was a woman smiling and waving her hands. Dria looked over and watched for a moment.
“Iya?”
“I think I'm wrong... What are you doing here?”
“Ahh?? Looking around..”.
After being able to remember who greeted her Sandriana smiled widely.
Dria approached her best friend during second grade and third grade High School. Ivanka gave a toss and Sandriana greeted with a laugh.
“Ivanka? I can hardly recognize you, you changed Iva..”.
“Iya... changed very much, I have had children, that's why my body expands like this..”.
“You're married? Where's your son?”
“Tadi was outside looking koi fish with her papa, we came Dria troupe, the mothers of the arisan association.. Now the husbands take care of the children and we are shopping-shopping.”.
“Ahh so yes... so all this troupe?”
“Iya, among us there have never come and reviewed this place, and it turns out recommended..very good place.”.
“Ahh? Wahh was happy to hear that. I want to meet your son, Iva... How old is he?”
“Five years..”.
“Ahh? It's that big, meaning after High School you get married immediately?”
“Hehe, I went to college for two semesters, after which I saw the offer to marry more interesting than college..”.
“Haha... so yes..”.
“Dria, they are my friends, among them there are those who know you as well.”.
“So? What's my college friend or?”
Ivanka called out to a woman who was dressed very fashionably and who stood out was a gold-colored chain-like necklace with a capitalized D letter pendant.
“Dhapne.. Dav.
The tall, slender woman turned her head and immediately approached Ivanka and Dria while pushing the trolly containing the items she had chosen.
“This is true Sandriana..”
The woman raises a smile either for Dria or for Ivanka.
“Halo..”
Sandriana welcomes the hand of a woman who is called Ivanka by the name of Dhapne.
“Have we met before this?”
Dria tries to establish interaction, she does not remember ever meeting where with women dress up glamour and look not stiff walking even with very high heels.
“Actually not meet... I have only ever seen you at my aunt's house.. I stayed with them High School time. It's been a long time, so I doubt if it's you. If I don't remember the incident at that time, you came with your father looking for Reginald..”.
The woman said lightly, while Dria immediately piqued.
“Reginald?”
Dria is like a kiss. After eight years of not listening to anyone mention the man.
“Iya I'm her cousin Reginald.. If not mistakenly remembered as well, you're her ex-lover Reginald right?”
The woman smiled as if saying something pleasant without knowing the sentence brought up old wounds in Dria's memory. Dria did not know what to react to just looking at it with a smile that turned sour.
Randomly there is always a possibility like this for anyone, your friend knows someone who is a neighbor or friend of the office or friend of the house or cousin of your ex, or your friend is friends with your ex…
“Reginald now works in an Accountant office.. his office is in Jalan General S.”.
The woman called an elite office location in the city center. Dria doesn't need any information about Reginald, for years she's muffled anger and disappointment and pressed into the heart of painful memories because of the man. The memory of the man was knocked out of his brain long ago but it turned out that he would never completely forget. The name again buzzed in his head by presenting a bitter taste again because of a bitter event.
The woman named Dhapne was still telling him about Reginald, but Dria did not hear any more of his brain as she ordered her ears to refuse to hear about it. Dria immediately thought of how to get away so that there was no need to mince words with this cousin of someone. There's no way Dria just left them, especially her friend Ivanka.
“Ah...so...”
Either answer according to Dria only answered the origin after meeting with Dhapne who looks looking at her.
“Ah... You guys are still choosing the goods right? A moment yes Iva... I will give something to you guys..”.
Dria immediately switched the conversation. Dria called an employee who was near them.
“Iya bu...”
The employee bowed respectfully to Dria while waiting for what to do for her boss.
“Iva....your group how many mothers are there?”
“We? How many yes?”
Ivanka counts her friends.
“There are thirteen, Dria... why?”
“Kids how many people?”
Ivanka's counting back on the head with her eyes narrowed slightly, as there were only two babies with them who were in the pram.
“Kids there are seven..”
Dria quickly asked her employees to pick up as many special edition merchandise as mentioned and small toys for children that were available in connection with this month was the first anniversary month of S2 HouseWare.
“Iva... it's a memento for you guys.. Thank you for choosing this place to shop yes... feel free to come back here..”.
“Actually this is specifically for total spending at a certain price, but for you I give as a memento... but if you pay at the cashier you will probably get it too.”.
“Wah, Dria... You work here it turns out..”.
Dria just smiled as she grabbed a random item and gave it to an employee while whispering something. Before long the employee came to bring the item that had been attached to a long sticker sign was paid off.
“Iva... This is for you, I'm happy to meet you, don't get tired of visiting again yes..”.
“Wow... Dria.. this is the thing I want to buy but because it is expensive I cancel... thank you, Dria...”.
“Sama-sama Iva... sometime I want us to meet again.. sorry I still have something to do.. I'm sorry... see you Ivanka..”.
Dria waved then smiled and left Ivanka. It's not that Dria doesn't want to talk to her best friend during High School, but Dria wants to avoid Dhapne who seems to still want to talk to her.
After Sandriana leaves, Ivanka asks one of the employees around them…
“What Dria manager is here?”
“Mother?”
Appoint the employee to the figure of Dria.
“Iya... who just left..”.
“Mother Sandriana owns this place..”.
“Oooh??? Seriously?”
“Iya..”
The conversation that Sandriana immediately revolved between Ivanka and Dhapne, each not expecting about it, they knew Sandriana very differently first.
Dria chose to head to the cafe. He has not seen this place in the past week, the father is sick and Dria chose to take care of the father, take him to the doctor and accompany him at home. Today, her father's condition has improved and Dria visited two of her growing businesses quite well over the course of the year.
At the cafe Dria immediately went around. Dria sees and pays attention especially regarding cleanliness and service to visitors. It's a weekend, quite crowded visitors and three days there is an event commemorating the year this place opened. Not specifically commemorated with a festive event, only providing life music at his S2 Cafe n Resto by bringing in the top artists of the country, the event for tomorrow, the event, and give a discount on the price at the store.
“Non Dria..”
Ms. Sonia immediately came to see Dria, following Dria on a slow walk while observing the situation.
“How bu Sonia... can be resolved right.. rather crowded yes...”.
“So far can bu... There are several groups of visitors who held an event here already reservation in advance, so we can anticipate..”.
“That's good ma'am... don't forget the merchandise bu... only these three days alone the division yes...”
“Iya Non... I have set the mechanism...”.
“Including for employees, bu Sonia...
“Bu've been..”
“Prepared for tomorrow day ya bu Sonia, have to extra work, we open early and close more night..”.
“I've set it up ma'am.”
“Ahh... I know I can count on Sonia bu...”.
Ms. Sonia smiled sumringah, this as a form of compliment for her. They were both still walking, and in one part…
“Non...it's someone I've talked about, he has been a regular customer here for three months if not mistaken..”.
Ms. Sonia pointed to a man who was busy with the gadget in his hand while in front of him his laptop was on. This area is rather quiet because it is at the very back near the door to the room in the cafe.
“Someone? About what is Sonia bu?”
“it... he's the accountant I've been talking about..”.
“Ahh yes... well sorry I forgot to ask my brother about it, but it seems we do not need it yet.. let Mr. Timo set it up for now yes..”.
“Good ma'am.. He never asked mom, maybe because he has a lot of work, too, looks like he came to this place just to find a comfortable place to work bu besides in his office of course.”.
“Wah... bu Sonia already know who our customer is yes..”
Dria smiled and accidentally rubbed her gaze with the man Sonia was referring to. Dria saw the man staring longer without moving and did not take his eyes off. Dria's mind as below in a reality.
That look... Does he know this guy? It felt like yes.what because Sonia's mom mentioned him as a regular customer, if she visited this place often means Dria often saw him, that's why the face became quite familiar.
But there was something so remembered from those eyes. Dria shook her head slightly because what came to her memory was a name, a name that was mentioned again just now by a male cousin, and this man looked similar.
His brain immediately gave a perception, there was no way he was, this man was taller and bigger in shape, looked burly and his chest was so wide… while in his memory the once so possessive hands encircled his thin body and the chest on which he once leaned was also not that field.
Dria walked away with the conclusion that many people looked similar in this world, but there were other thoughts echoing in her heart, he might have come to this place because anyone could appear here especially due to the fact that they live in the same city.
Dria focused her mind on what she was about to see in this cafe, but her mind was running around urging her to remember the past. It turns out that cannot deny that the past is a part of life that likes or dislikes to remain there cannot be erased as destroyed as whatever reality goes through in that time.
And that guy, actually here Dria is not wrong considering, he is indeed Reginald who makes the Dria cafe as his destination every weekend, he said, being comfortable to observe Dria secretly if it happens that Dria comes to the cafe together while she is visiting, it is convenient because Dria does not recognize her anymore.
But just now that he saw Dria's surprised gaze, was Dria now able to remember it? Egi started to feel a thump in his chest. Eid because his sixth sense is whispering something that the universe is currently taking them in one trajectory to meet again in full awareness of each other's existence, open just look without realizing who they were in the past.
Dria turned around and only realized a moment later that Sonia's mom was still following her.
“Bu Sonia... I do not need to be accompanied anymore, please bu Sonia continue the work...”.
“Oh... good Non Dria..”.
A few minutes walk around and had time to give direction to an employee who was drying an area like a spillage of drinks. Dria then looked from afar to find with her net that the man was not there. The feeling of anxiety because the thoughts of the past that came ambushing soon disappeared, hoping that the man had already walked out of this cafe.
Dria decided to go back home. Because the door to the outside must pass through the area, Dria made sure to look and look for the man among other visitors, not visible. Dria immediately walked to get out of the place. It seemed like his adrenaline had drained the heat in his legs and back making him want to pass as soon as possible from there.
In an open section outside the cafe, Dria got off in a hurry…
“Sandriana..”.
The woman who turned out to be the cousin of a man from the past called her, she was standing near a car and there was this man, the Accountant who was shown by Sonia's mother. The man was standing with another man he had never seen. Dhapne was struggling in the hands of another man suggesting a possibility that the man was her husband because the man was holding the hand of a little girl.
It was seen they were talking before Dhapne shouted his name. And without hesitation even seen once Dhapne wanted to interact with him, seen his one hand waving at him.
Dria's instincts begin to alarm that Dhapne knows a man who is similar to someone.
