...Their Dreams...

Tasia went home that afternoon with the remaining basket of cookies. His mother was shocked when she saw his daughter's condition, a white bandage was already stuck to his left forehead and the corner of his injured lip, like a hard slap.

"Tasia what happened to your face? have you been fighting? With who and where?" asked his mother worried about his daughter's condition, holding her cheek to look at her wounded face.

"It's okay, ma'am, Tasia in the market had met the thief.Maling hit Tasia until it fell. But Tasia is okay, fortunately there are Tasia nolongin" he explained chuckling.

"Oh my God, until that's it. Next time you don't be a hero, you'll catch the bad guys!" critics of his mother are upset because the attitude of Tasia who was from childhood until today has still not changed.

"Mom don't worry. Tasia has grown up already usually also hit people so there is no fear really. Now Tasia wants to take a shower and rest for a while. Not all dirty Tasia clothes" he continued, which looks like a tape.

"Yes you took a bath there, then quickly rest!" his mother shook her head.

"Tasia, Tasia, there's only you!" babble his mother again, then he continued to sew clothes ordered by people.

As he continued, he remembered something.

"Oh yes, tomorrow your sister Maya and your sister-in-law will come here. They'll sleep two nights. Because on Sunday they have to go to Bogor. Supri's job is now moved there. So automatically Maya also had to go there." said her mother again reminded.

"Oh, so yes!" muttered Tasia with a sad face.

Of course Tasia was sad, because later she had to be away with her only brother, the brother who was also a place to pour out her heart.

In front of the Cafe yard, Lia seemed to sit alone in the cafe chair while playing her gadget, the sound of a motorbike, she immediately stood up.

"Where do you go from morning? The hour of day just came home" asked Lia approaching Rizal and Yogi who had just arrived at his Cafe.

"We're out of refreshing." replied Yogi slightly looking annoyed, because his efforts did not produce.

After parking the motor, Yogi immediately unlocked the door and entered the kitchen.

"What's wrong with her?!" ask Lia to Rizal.

"He may be hurt again!" answer Rizal origin. "So I'm not going to the boarding first, you're here just like Yogi ya.." he said.

"Yes sister." nodding Lia. Then Rizal walked out and went to his boarding house which was not far from where the Cafe was.

"Where did they end up? why not tell stories?" muttered Lia curiously.

He quickly entered the cafe following Yogi.

"Where the boy is, why hasn't he come yet, it's already at 2 p.m. He should have helped me tidy up this kitchen!" gerutu Yogi talks about Revan who hasn't come yet.

"So he sent me a message, his mother is sick! So can't come to work" Lia explained.

"Where are you guys really out of? something must be important, right?" ask Lia again.

"No, it's none of your business!" tangent Yogi, who was lazy to tell a story.

He opened the fridge and took the cold water in a drink can, and went to work and turned on the television and fell on the couch.

"Today our cafe closes first. Tomorrow it opens again. I want to relax first!" yell to Lia.

"Well, how can we just relax? for one month now our cafe has been hit by bankruptcy, see the cafe across the street near the supermarket! they are always crowded with visitors. Only one or two visitors came. And now you want to relax like this, how can we make money!" lia was furious, because of the behavior of Yogi who always underestimated his work.

Yogi ignored Lia's rambling on him, quickly picked up the magazine book on the table and covered his face with the book, pretending to be asleep.

"Hahh you lazy fuck!" grumbled Lia was upset.

"Mending me away.it's just gonna waste my time here!" screeches again. Then he picked up his little bag again and walked out of the cafe.

"Yes go out" said Yogi slowly.

After Lia really left. Yogi put the magazine back on the table. Then, he re-imagined the figure of the girl named Tasia.

"In hindsight, that girl was attractive too!" he murmured while smiling to himself.

...***...

On that cold night, Tasia stretched out her muscles to feel more relaxed. Tasia's body felt stiff that night, due to the events of this morning at the market, she had to run chasing and fighting against the thief.

"Haaaah..comfort this soft mattress of mine..! yells.

Every now and then he looked at the ceiling of the room with a reflection of his mind and was about to close his tired, faint eyes, and a faint look on the face of a man appeared in his daydream which was staring at him full, full, then he called his name clearly.

Suddenly the sound of the vibration of Tasia's mobile phone shocked her daydream.

"Rizal!" he was shocked and woke up from his sleep

"It's just a dream, why can I hallucinate meeting him anyway?!" tanyanya herself.

"Who's calling these nights again?" Tasia took her phone on her study table and saw the call, and it turned out to be from Rizal.

"Geez, why is he calling at 9 tonight?" out of curiosity, he picked up his phone immediately.

"Hallo..? what's up?" sahut Tasia.

"Hallo Tasia, you haven't slept?!" ask Rizal on the phone.

"Just want to sleep, but you suddenly call, so don't sleep anyway" he said.

"Ah, sorry-sorry I don't know, sorry if I have interrupted your rest, I just want to remind you that the antibiotic medicine you don't forget to drink huh?!" attention sahut.

"Ooh.thank you for reminding me. But I'm not a kid anymore, so you don't have to bother telling me!" jutek.

"Hmm.so yes, it's good if it's drunk, emm. Then you rest first let the body better tomorrow!" saith.

"Yes." answered Tasia briefly.

Then they ended the phone at the same time.

Tasia was about to keep her cellphone on the table again but before turning off her phone at a glance she saw the photo of her profile Rizal, a series of words of wisdom there that are clearly visible.

' It is our choices that show who we really are, far beyond our abilities'

The beautiful writing is the work of the world's famous author, courtesy of "J.K Rowling - Harry Potter and the Chamber Of Secreet"

Tasia was stunned long enough to digest the words, and somehow the wise words were able to make her tiny pink lips, smearing a sweet smile.

After turning on the plane mode, he quickly put his phone on his study desk again, then he resumed his sleep.

...***...

Rizal who was still sitting pensively in his bed while laying down his back, carefully he stared a long time ago at a photo of Tasia's profile on his WhatsApp application that night. Then he muttered while looking at the girl's photo.

"Why do I feel so anxious to know more about you, maybe there's something you're hiding?" muttered.

She recalls meeting Supri and Maya at the Mall while they were shopping, on the second day after their wedding.

...~Flasback~...

"Rizaaal!" yelling Supri called him from afar, Rizal who was also shopping for his daily needs.

"Haii Supriii.." replied Rizal waving his hand to his college friend. Then Supri and Maya approach Rizal who just finished paying for his groceries at the cashier.

"Shopping too?" tannya

"Yes.he_" kekeh Rizal. "You alone?"

"We are also the same, em.how about we eat first in the restaurant there while chatting for a while.." invite Supri suddenly pointed towards the restaurant there. Rizal shrugged his head.

"Can.."

Then they stopped by a restaurant near the Mall, and talked for a long time. Which in the end Rizal complained about the state of his business to them, then asked Supri for help to find new employees who want to work at his workplace. Maya takes the initiative to recommend her own sister Tasia.

Maya says that Tasia was once a High School, majoring in Grooming, very well suited to her work at the Rizal Cafe.

But unfortunately, this afternoon Tasia even refused a job offer from him, he even lied to her that he was not the one who made the cake.

It's the wedding of Supri and Maya. Rizal felt that Tasia was not so happy with her father's presence at that time. So many questions that stuck in Rizal's heart to find out more deeply.

Rizal feels himself and the girl have something in common. That something, which he might have wanted to achieve but only wanted to rely on his own hands, without the figure of a Father beside him.
