The Charm of Love Amartha
This is Not Coffee, But Salt Water
"They?" muttered Ricko. He frowned.
"Oh, yes there is," continued Ricko.
"Who are you talking to?" ask Vira.
"Firlan" Ricko replied. Ricko shifted his body, and saw a figure that he did not want to meet.
"Hi..."
"Come in, and talk inside." said Ricko.
"Vira, I'm leaving ... Lan, first huh?" ricko said, he stepped out. Today there was an important meeting so he had to come early.
Firlan was still standing on the doorstep, Vira was still looking at him with a flat gaze. The woman stepped forward getting closer to Firlan, then she quickly closed the door. But as fast as Firlan's lightning immediately prevented it.
"Wait!" Firlan held the door.
"I want to talk to you" said Firlan quickly.
"Sorry but I'm not. And I don't want to make a fuss here. It's better now that you're gone" Vira said in a soft but emphatic voice.
"I promise I won't make a fuss, I promise.." said Firlan, who had been crisp from yesterday unable to meet his woman.
"Who are you talking to?" tanya Dewi who happened to be in the kitchen took a drink for Raharjo.
"Emhhh this is the wrong address!" exclaim Vira.
"Kayak song dangdut aja use the wrong address all" said Dewi.
"I'm not a packer, Vira!" firlan.
"Here you go," Vira tried to close the door but it didn't work.
"No! before you explain why you're resigning," Firlan insisted on not leaving.
"Loh, what are you doing? the guy who came by Firlan, did you say packager?" the Goddess surprised Vira. The woman was already behind Vira.
"Yes, the love pack probably meant Vira." said Firlan.
"There are only you, Firlan.." said Dewi with Javanese accent.
"Vira there are guests talking at the door, ora ilok, nduk .." said the Goddess he walked in with a glass of water in his hand. Vira shifted her body giving Firlan access to enter. Vira immediately closed the door and walked in with Firlan.
"What is Ora ilok?" ask Firlan to Vira. But the boyfriend did not answer.
"Ora ilok what yes, more or less it means not polite or pamali can also..." The goddess answered the boy's girlfriend's question.
"Sit down first, son." said the Goddess again.
"Vira, make a drink for Firlan.." said Dewi to Vira who was still a henchman standing up.
"Yes, Maa." replied Vira.
"All right, make toast ... Firlan must not have had breakfast" said Dewi.
"He had breakfast in the morning instead of his stomach, Maa." said Vira, Firlan held back his emotions. He had to be patient with Vira who was angry with him.
"It's like that, son?" ask Goddess.
"Emh, yes .. I do not usually eat breakfast," said Firlan, Vira raised one corner of her lips. I don't know, he's lazy to see that guy right now.
"Oh, yes already .. make it a drink then," said Dewi. Vira went to the kitchen to make a drink.
"Tea or coffee?" Vira weighed what he was going to give the man.
"How about the water?" vira said annoyed.
Vira took a coffee sachet without pulp, then tore the wrapper and put it in a white cup. Then he poured boiling water into it. While stirring the still hot black coffee, Vira pinned a meaningful smile.
Before long Vira came to bring a cup of black coffee with one small jar of cheese-flavored bagelen.
"Tuh Vira already came.Tante lived first, huh? want to give her papa Vira medicine," said Dewi who grabbed a glass filled with water to take her into the room.
"Drink the coffee, son.." said the Goddess before moving from her seat.
"Yes, Aunt..."
"You said Firlan," said Dewi as she touched Vira's shoulder, the woman walked towards the room occupied by Raharjo.
"I'm drinking, huh?" firlan. He lifted the cup and the saucer. Vira did not respond. Firlan sighed slowly, it seemed like this time Vira was indeed very angry at him. There was no love that he usually got.
Firlan started sipping coffee made for her. Suddenly, his face changed.
"Why? why not get it swallowed? not delicious? if it's not good here I throw it away!" vira looked at me with a sharp look.
Inevitably, Firlan painstakingly swallowed the coffee that tasted like salt water that went through his throat. Vira inwardly laughed happily because she managed to prank Firlan.
Firlan put the cup back on the table.
"This must have been Vira intentionally, getting salt into the coffee. Jeez .. patient patience." Firlan muttered in his heart.
"Thank you, huh?" firlan said, but his speech was not in harmony with the look of the face he displayed. Very different from Ricko who at that time ate a gongso that tastes magical with a calm face and instead looks very enjoy it.
"Thank you?" vira's great-grandson, mocking Firlan's words.
"Can I talk?" firlan asked, but Vira did not answer she looked the other way.
"They?" Firlan called her boyfriend.
"Yes have to talk, by the way" said Vira flat.
"Why did you resign?" ask Firlan.
"It's none of your business" said Vira.
"It's obviously my business, you're my boyfriend. I deserve to know because I also entered you there," said Firlan.
"Oh, yeah yeah .. I forgot that I work for your help, huh?" vira said laughing at herself.
"That's not what I mean, I know we're in trouble again. But don't you vent your anger on anything else" said Firlan, bending his long legs, on the floor. The man held his lover's hand.
"I know the words I hurt your heart" Firlan continued.
"Ordinary," said Vira.
"I'm sorry, I'm just afraid of losing you." said Firlan.
"It's too late to go to the office, you better go and we can talk outside, not here" Vira said.
"Well, if that's what you want. I'm leaving..." Firlan immediately got up, he brought Vira's head closer to his chest, he kissed Vira's top. The man then left Vira who was still sitting on the sofa, staring at Firlan's departure.
Elsewhere, Sinta who had just opened the door of her room was shocked when she saw that someone had already been there.
"Fendy?" peekik Sinta when she saw Fendy sitting on the sofa with some food arranged on the table.
"Well?" tanya Sinta walked closer to the direction where the person was sitting.
"Make sure you have breakfast together" said the man.
"I don't usually eat breakfast, after all I can hang out in the morning in people's offices!" said Sinta.
"Hey, it's been more than 9 hours .. you came by bad luck," said Fendy.
