Secret Denis
Lima

"Who are you?" Bang Theo immediately asked him as soon as Denis set foot in the room where the man was enthroned. Denis took the drinking water and gulped it straight away. Bang Theo waited until Denis finished his drink.

"Why you're kayaking out of a marathon."

"Well."

"I thought I was thirsty." Then why nanya? That's Denis' heart. But unspoken. He was about to leave the Theo bang.

"Lo hasn't answered my question."

"Which one?"

"Who's dianter was that? There's no way that girl is." Bang Theo chuckled. There was also his desire to tease Denis.

"Fandi's son."

"Desti?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Gee. Oh son, really. Why doesn't he fuck me?" Of course bang Theo knew his friend's daughter. Denis shrugged his shoulders. He soon passed from the front of Theo bang. In the corner of the sofa, Alex noticed the interaction of bang Theo and his men.

"He's been working with you for a long time?"

"Dennis?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"One year there is."

Andi came with two lunches for bang Theo and Alex. It was common for him to buy bang Theo lunch because bang Theo rarely had lunch at home. Unless his wife is at home.

"Thank you." Alex said it. Bang Theo glanced at the man. In his assessment he can see that Alex's attitude is quite polite. In his heart Bang Theo felt confident that the man before him was a good and trustworthy person.

They eat lunch while occasionally interspersed with small talk. Bang Theo gradually wanted to know more about the man he had just met.

"Lo don't want to tell me who you really are ?" he started to look at the man. Actually Bang Theo was very curious to immediately find out the origin of the man. But of course he can't force Alex to open up to him. It was possible that the man still did not believe him so he did not want to say everything to Bang Theo. That's what Bang Theo thought.

Alex focused on his food. But actually he was thinking about what answer he should give to Bang Theo. It's true that Bang Theo deserves to know who he is. Given this moment he would hang on to his life for a while to the man who had saved his life. If he was in the position of bang Theo maybe he did not hesitate to tell him to leave as soon as possible from the house. Or at least he'll report to the police about everything that's happened.

But bang Theo didn't do that. He trusted her very much. Before he even said anything.

"Lo still have a family?" asked bang Theo when he saw Alex was still tight-lipped.

"There was. My father, mother and two younger siblings." Alex answered in between.

"Lo don't want to call any of them? They must be worried right now."

"I don't know what to do, Bang. Someone there I don't know who's trying to get rid of me. And now I don't know who to trust. You must know what I mean."

"But there's no way your family is, right? Or you suspect someone?"

Alex shakes. He finished his lunch.

Andi came to pause their conversation. He told me there was a supplier who sent the goods. Bang Theo finishes his meal and leaves Alex.

Alex walked out of the room. Outside he saw Bang Theo talking to someone. That must be the supplier that Andi meant earlier. His eyes went elsewhere. Denis was busy with a customer's car. He was in the car's service. Alex approached and squatted down near Denis' feet. Pay attention to how Denis deftly uses existing tools.

Denis glanced towards the man who was squatting watching him. He immediately finished his work and threw himself out from under the undercarriage. He then tried to start the car and the sound of the engine sounded so beautiful to the person who managed to make it back on. It's a happiness for people like Denis if the results of his work are successful and in line with expectations.

A man came closer.

"Where?"

"Presents."

Denis then explained something to the man. About the problem that had happened to the car and how to handle it. Denis said it briefly but clearly enough. The man looks like a beard. I am satisfied with the explanation from Denis. He then paid a sum of money and passed by with his car leaving the place.

"You've been very professional as it looks." Alex told Denis when the car was over.

"Obviously. Everyone can." Denis sat in a pile of old tires.

Alex turned around and entered Bang Theo's room. Lying his body to a sofa. His head is a little dizzy. Perhaps the effects of the drug that the criminal gave were still left behind. Right bang Theo said, he should just rest at home. So he can sleep as much as possible.

Denis looked at Lukman who was explaining something to a customer. He's handling that guy's car. His gaze shifted when a silver-colored car entered the workshop's courtyard not long after. Denis' sharp eyes stared at the newly arrived car. He got up to the car.

A straight-bodied man came out from behind the wheel. Another man sat next to the driver's seat. There were two other men in the back seat. His face is not clearly visible because the car glass that uses dark-colored window film.

"Please check the brakes." Said the man who just got out of the car. Denis didn't ask much. He immediately checked the brakes as informed by the man. Denis glanced at the corner of his eye the man who was still sitting on the passenger seat. A man with a pretty strong face. Dark skin and long hair. His face was hard and there was no smile.

"Why?" Ask someone from the back seat.

"The canvas is broken." Denis then talks to the driver of the car standing next to his car. Explaining to the man that he had to change his brake canvas and that took quite a long time.

The man got into the car and talked to his friend. Maybe he was asking his friend for an opinion. Denis waited patiently as his eyes watched the car in front of him. A car with license plate number B. Its body covered in dust is thick enough to indicate the car is on a long journey.

The man went back to Denis. Nodding his head understood what the man said. He called Andi to help him because he saw Andi was not doing any other work. Bang Theo is approaching. His eyes were glaring at the car Denis was about to service.

"Why?" ask Denis.

"Canvas brake is broken."

"Oh." bang Theo nodded. He turned his head towards the man standing near the silver car. "You can wait over there, sir." Bang Theo pointed to a place commonly used as a waiting room for customers whose cars are being serviced. There is a set of sofas and also drinking water that can be used by anyone. Next to it is an employee-only room where employees store their personal belongings. The room where Theo bang is separated from the employee room.

The driver of the car signaled to his friends to get out of the car and sit in the waiting room. Three men got out of the car. Their body posture is almost the same. Only one who came down from the back seat looked rather small.

They sat on the sofa waiting room while lighting a cigarette. Not long after that puff of cigarette smoke filled the waiting room. The first man down took out his phone and immediately focused on it. They don't seem to talk much. Sometimes their eyes only look at each other.

Denis focused on his work. Sometimes he talked to Andi who was smartly his assistant. Workshop visitors are getting less because of the afternoon. The workshop usually closes at four or five in the afternoon. Sometimes it can be until night if there are customers who force to wait for the vehicle. Bang Theo patiently faced a stubborn customer. He must also persuade his employees to want to serve customers who do not want to understand that their employees are also human. They need rest and a personal life.

Good thing bang Theo good makes all employees obey the orders bang Theo. No one disputes. Not out of fear, but they know to return the favor. Not wanting to disappoint the employer. Without complaining, they do their job.

The driver of the car approached Denis after a long wait.

"Where? Still long?" tanyakanya.

"At a minute, Bang." Denis replied. His eyes glanced at the man's face.

"If you can sneak. I'm in a hurry." Denis did not answer. Lazy has to deal with people like that. Andi threw her gaze at Denis. Showing dislike to such customers. Denis just moved his head slowly. Understand the meaning of Andi's gaze. If you want to say he also does not like people like that. But he prefers to be quiet and not respond.

Denis and Andi finished their work. He took care of the tools that were used. The men immediately left with their cars after completing the payment.

The day is getting dusk. The last car left the place. There are some cars that the owner left to work on tomorrow. Denis and his friends are grateful for an understanding customer and willing to wait for tomorrow to work on their car. Suffice it for today because they also need rest like everyone else.

Bang Theo just came out of his room after cleaning himself and changing clothes. He heads to the dinner table for dinner with his little family. Sisil was sitting on the family room couch waiting for his papa. Play the phone in his hand to fill the time. Replying to messages from her friends with occasional self-laughs.

Bang Theo dropped himself beside Sisil.

"You haven't come home yet?" tanyanya while taking the TV remote. Before Sisil opened his mouth to answer his papa question, the sound of a car engine was heard entering the yard.

"Noah. Mama's coming."

Not long after, Fani enters the room where her husband and son are waiting. His smile greeted the two people he loved so much.

"Mama!" Sisil embraced his mother spoiled. "Why not go to the clinic?"

"What day is it today? You forgot?" Fani pinched her daughter's nose in a fit of anxiety. Sisil smiled spoiled with his narrowed eyes. Today is Thursday. Every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday her mother is not scheduled in the clinic. He's got a hospital schedule so he gets home a little late.

"Mama take a shower first. We're waiting for Mama to make dinner." Bang Theo rubbed his wife's hair. Fani smiled. He immediately went to his room to take a shower. It didn't take long for him to come back.

They then headed to the dining table and began to eat the dishes that Bi Nani had provided.

"Pa's." Sisil opened his voice. He asked for the attention of his father who had started eating his food.

"Hm."

"Oh, papa."

"Yes Sisil dear. What's up."

Sisil is now the center of attention. Her mother waited for what Sisil would say to her father. He never forbade people to talk at dinner tables. Precisely according to him at the dinner table is a chance for a family to talk to each other. This is an opportunity that must be used as well as possible to get acquainted with each other between family members.

"Denis' Sunday is off, right?"

"Why?"

"You asked for nemenin Sisil."

"Where is Sisil going?"

"Sisil wants to find a book to mall X. There's only a full bookstore there, isn't it." Sisil really launched his plan that had been made with his friends.

"Say you want to take Denis to the mall." Fani rolled her eyes teasing her daughter. "Mama can catch you on Sunday. Isn't it pa?"

Bang Theo nodded. Agree with what his wife said. After all, they had not spent a day off together.

"That's. Really, Ma. Sisil needs that book. Sisil is not alone. Rame-rame went by."

"Who are you?"

"Figure, Rani, same Gina." Sisil mentioned the names of his friends one by one.

"How pa. Can't you?" Sisil turned to his father.

"What?" bang Theo teased his daughter.

"Father!"

"Yes, yes." Bang Theo chuckled. Happy for making his daughter upset.

"Yes what?"

"Yes can."

"Can what?"

"May you take Denis, if Denis wants to. If he doesn't want to, then what else. Time must be forced."

"Yes, papa forced dong. If papa says 'Surely, Denis will."

"Why do you want Denis?" Now it was her mother's turn to tease Sisil.

"Sister Denis can take care of us ma. What if we're bothering you?"

"Papa can take care of you too."

"That's. Don't want to be with papa. There will be a lot of rules there. Can't do this, can't do that. It has to be, it has to be. Sisil's going with a friend, Pa. Shy dong, time controlled equally papa."

"Yes, yeah. I'll tell you the same Denis. It's still a long time, isn't it? It's only Thursday." Now."

"Thank you my handsome papa is kind and not arrogant. Mduach." Sisil kissed his papa cheek then it was his mother's turn to get the kiss. Quickly he finished his dinner. I can't wait to get this good news to my friends.

After the food ran out he told his parents to enter the room. He left the dining room with carefree steps. Bang Theo shook his head to look at his daughter's behavior.

"Papa sure ngijinin him walk with his friends?" Fani asked after Sisil disappeared from her sight.

"Yes. It'sit's okay. There is Denis. Papa believes in him." The two finished their dinner. Fani tidied the dinner table before then bi Nani came to take over her job. Fani and bang Theo walked into the room and continued the conversation there.

"O yes. The man who yesterday papa please. Is he healthy?"

"It has. He went to the shop." Bang Theo sat on the edge of the bed. Unread messages on his phone.

"Did he not contact his family?"

"He doesn't want to."

"Why? Surely his family's losing him now, right?"

"Papa doesn't understand either. But let. He must have his own consideration."

Bang Theo keeps the phone on a small table next to the bed.

"She asked permission to stay here for a while. He said he wanted to find out who the bad guy was. How papa doesn't know." Bang Theo looked at his wife. See the reaction on his face. Fani laid her body down and pulled the blanket covering her legs up to her waist.

"Papa believe him?"

Bang Theo laid his body next to his wife. Look at the ceiling of his room.

"Papa see he can be trusted by his people."

Fani sighed.

"He is different from Denis Pa. This guy's in contact with a criminal. What if we get into trouble later." There was a tinge of worry in his wife's voice. Bang Theo understood.

"She said she'd only be hitchhiking here for a while."

"If according to mama, we should report to the police. We better get their help before there's anything we don't want." Fani tries to give advice that she thinks makes the most sense.

"Yes. I'll think about it." Bang Theo tilted his body, facing his wife. Touching his wife's hair and staring with a meaningful gaze. Fani returned her husband's gaze with a very beautiful smile in the vision bang Theo. Their conversation just ended. Replacing with a sigh that sounds syahdu on a cold night.
