...The Lost Trust...

That afternoon after returning from her college, Lia stopped by a restaurant near Cafe Rizal, buying food for her lunch and Rizal. His favorite menu food, chicken stew and spicy shrimp stir fry.

"This morning, this food will definitely make him unable to eat it immediately, and the foolish country girl will eventually be inferior to me! if I'm the only one who knows what Rizal's favorite is!" his own murmuring while running his car.

Before long his car stopped in the parking lot, and he immediately got out of the car.

As usual that afternoon, Tasia and Revan were busy serving customers who came to take turns. Yogi is also no less busy, in the kitchen he always arranges and prepares the order one by one.

Lia went straight into the Cafe and stood near her cashier's place, while paying attention to their work. After serving the other buyer, Tasia was about to walk to the kitchen again to bring the other order that Yogi had prepared earlier.

But Lia suddenly stopped her steps there, and asked her to bring two drinks to her office.

"Please, I'm thirsty! don't forget to bring two drinks!" her door. Tasia let out a rough sigh.

"Lia... You can make it yourself, I'm really busy, don't you see it for yourself? " tasia's voice was somewhat irritated by Lia's extremely spoiled attitude.

"Heh, do you know your status is independent, you're just a new worker here, stop fighting me, now I'm your boss. I deserve to tell you to know! " squeezer Lia.

"Listen even though Rizal is kind to you, but he only thinks of you as a friend like everyone else no more than that, don't worry about you! As for myself, I would never consider you a friend like them, forever never, you understand. Remember that! you're still an employee under me!" he added again with a sharp gaze leading to Tasia.

"All right, I get it!" paschal.

"It's good that you understand, so don't forget the warm orange juice!" he asked again by looking at Tasia with his right index finger. After telling Tasia, Lia took her foot into Rizal's room.

Tasia was forced to not be able to refuse his request, indeed because what Lia said was true she was just a subordinate.

Tasia immediately went to the kitchen and made the orange juice squeeze Lia's order a little grumbling and upset.

Lia went into Rizal's room and immediately approached him, he who saw Rizal was still focused on his laptop, then his hand massaged his shoulder gently. Rizal was surprised by his surprise.

"Huh, Lia you just surprised me" he said.

"Rizal aren't you hungry, it's time for lunch?"ask her with a soft and spoiled voice.

Rizal looked towards the wall clock, the time was already showing 2pm. He did not realize it was a day that had been very busy with the schoolwork, he had forgotten himself had not had time to eat lunch.

"Yes you're right, I forgot my meal!" he muttered as he let out a long sigh and wiped away the sweat on his forehead

Lia smiled widely, she could already guess it. If as long as the man is busy with his many duties, he will forget his own meal hour.

Before long, it was seen by Lia that the door opened slowly, and the girl had already brought her ordered drink earlier. Lia had already glanced at him from the side and knew that the one who entered was Tasia, then she started acting in front of him.

"Yes already then let's eat first.It just so happens that I have brought your favorite food. Last time on the way here, I stopped by the restaurant where we used to eat" he said, pulling Rizal's arm to get up from his chair and invite him to move to sit on the sofa.

"Really, did you bring chicken stew?" it looks good to hear it.

"It's not just chicken stews but spicy shrimp stir-fryers too I brought!" lia said again.

"Well, I'm so hungry to hear that!" revealed. Lia chuckles - chuckles at Rizal's words.

The two of them quickly sat on the sofa while close together, and Lia put the two boxes of rice on her desk, then opened them for Rizal.

"Yahoo!" lia exclaimed after the rice box was opened, Rizal's favorite food was neatly lined up in the box, visible from the posture and smell of the cuisine was so very tempting that looked at him that made his appetite growing.

"Heeemm.I really can't wait to gobble it up!" rizal exclaimed, he picked up the tablespoon that was already available in the box.

Tasia listened to their chatter behind the door, and still stood there. His feet suddenly seemed reluctant to go inside. But she had to give him the drink immediately, and he tried to brave himself to go in and approach the two of them.

Rizal did not pay attention to Tasia's presence there, he was too focused on the food Lia brought.

"Eit wait.leave the glasses first dong!" exclaiming Lia suddenly stopped Rizal who was about to put rice into his mouth, he helped take off the man's glasses, then put them on the table.

"Thank you so much Lia, you're watching my meal all the time! you know what I like best" he said with a big smile looking at Lia.

"Of course, I told you that I have been together for many years and know each other, it is impossible if I do not know all your tastes" she said.

"Well, now let's open your mouth! let me feed you. "say suddenly snatch Rizal's spoon.

"That's not gonna let me eat myself!" rizal refused it.

"Emm.yeah, she was forced to obey the order of the girl to open her mouth, slowly Lia put the rice on the spoon into the man's mouth carefully.

Tasia who was behind him accidentally saw their closeness that was so familiar like a pair of lovers. Lia's eyes briefly glanced towards Tasia whose face was bent holding in jealousy.

Tasia, who did not want to look at their familiarity for long, quickly put her two drinks on their table, and her eyes were still down.

"This is the drink...! "he said with trembling hands. Rizal was surprised at that moment, he turned to his side and only realized that Tasia was already in his study.

Gleek, Rizal swallows his rice round and round.

"Tasia?! "said surprised.

"I. excuse me. There's still a lot of work waiting for me..! "he muttered, and he quickly stepped out and left them, and closed the door shut.

"Ta, Tasia wait! " cried Rizal but he didn't rush to stop her Tasia had already gone out.

Lia smiled smugly at Tasia's jealousy. He finally managed to return his pain to the girl.

'Now you need to know yourself more! here I am the only woman who can approach Rizal' the screech in the heart.

Tasia rushed to the kitchen, and kept her tray on the table with a slightly irritated face and almost cried, then hurriedly walked into the bathroom. Yogi, who was busy with the buyer's order, briefly looked at the girl filled with astonishment.

"Why him?" thought.

In the bathroom, Tasia looked at her face in the mirror for a long time with her slightly teary eyes, then felt her cheeks and continued to look at herself.

'I was too stupid and naive, Rizal was so considerate of me that my heart was almost bound by him.. Tasia all men are the same, they will never be able to like and be loyal to one woman in their life... My belief in finding true love has been lost, ever since I knew my own father, who I thought was a man loyal to Mom, but the truth is not so.. He could leave Mom and would rather live with another woman..'

He remembered Lia's words this morning in the alley, she was just an unattractive country girl. Recalling it suddenly his eyes began to water and river.

'What do you expect from Rizal? Lia is more beautiful, educated and also rich.. There's no way he wants to be like you who's like this soil deposit to stay away from him who's like that pile of diamonds?' awakening himself.

Not feeling his tears come out and melt, pouring into the smooth surface of his cheeks.

Yogi who was in the kitchen kept waiting for Tasia who was still inside the bathroom. Out of curiosity he knocked on the door and called out to her.

"Tassia? Tasiaa are you okay?" tanyakanya.

In the bathroom, he was shocked and quickly washed his face with water and then wiped it with a small towel that was available there.

"Yeah.I'm fine!" the answer. Tasia tidied up her clothes and slowly opened the door and walked out.

"Why you?" ask Yogi again. Tasia just shook her head.

"There is nothing." he answered flatly, continuing to step towards the table and then continuing to rearrange the buyer's order to the tray and assisted Yogi. As he was about to take his order out he passed Rizal who suddenly appeared in front of the kitchen door that was left open.

They looked at each other for a long time. But Tasia quickly regained her senses and turned her eyes back and passed Rizal in front of her out of the kitchen.

"Ep..Ta-Tasiaa.." called her stammering but she pretended not to hear it and kept walking straight towards the cafe room.

Rizal looked at Tasia's back with a face that worried him. An uneasy feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.

'Why..why did my feelings towards her get so fucked up?' he murmured in the heart, with a racing heart.

On the other hand, the Yogi also looked at their behavior which suddenly just kept quiet.

"Why are you two?" the question is getting curious. Rizal who was asked like that had difficulty answering, while rubbing his hair and scratching his head that was not itchy.

"Emm.ti-not why-why" she was a little nervous.

The yogi simply tilts the corner of his lips and shrugs his shoulders cluelessly, then resumes his activities.
