THE LAST
12. We're Friends?

"Ehem!" dehem Hania teased the boy earlier.

The boy who was busy putting plastic bottles into his seedy sack turned to the direction of the sound. A look of fear and anxiety on his face. Then spontaneously inching backwards while holding tightly to his sack.

Hania approached slowly with a smile making the boy's face not as stiff as before. It seemed like Hania's smile was able to expel her fear.

"Hi, what are you doing?" hello Hania.

The boy only glanced at the rest of the pile of bottles still lying under his feet in response.

"Only?" the boy nodded his head.

"It's late in the afternoon, aren't you coming home?" ask Hania again which this time answered with a slab.

"It's your night, you go home yes, tomorrow you come here again but don't go through here but through there." persuaded Hania while pointing at the back door of the restaurant.

The boy shook his head again then lowered his head, he was still afraid to see Hania's face.

"Why?" Hania curious.

Hania suspected the boy's parents might not care about the boy, proof they let the boy work scavenging used items alone, instead of accompanying him. That boy is still a kid. Seeing the boy's stature and body language, Hania felt pity.

"I had to buy her medicine and food because she was sick again" the little boy finally opened his mouth.

Deg.

Hania stunned. His heart ached to hear the boy's words.

"While the used items I collected have not been able to make enough money in exchange. There's less." Hannah was getting more and more sorry for the boy.

"If so, come with me first." take Hania with you.

Although initially refused, the boy eventually followed Hania as well, and the waitress who had followed Hania had since walked in the very back. They arrived at the backyard of the restaurant that the employees used to rest.

Hania took the boy to sit in one of the long chairs. He left the boy, went into the kitchen of the restaurant and prepared a plate of food complete with side dishes. Then ask one of the employees to wrap 3 packets of food that is the same as the one he prepared. He then left the kitchen.

The boy immediately stood up as soon as he saw the arrival of Hania. Hania handed the plate filled with food to the boy. The boy just stared at the plate that was thrust at him. He was ashamed to take the plate.

"Already, you ate this first, the abis continued your activities." Hania forced.

"Thank you Ma'am." finally with a feeling of condolence and pleasure, the boy received a plate filled with food for him.

Shortly afterwards a Hania employee came carrying plastic containing some packages requested by Hania. Then leave it to his boss. After the boy finished his meal timidly, Hania handed the plastic to him.

"Thank you Ma'am." said the boy again who was greeted with a crisp laugh of Hania.

"This, make buy your mother's medicine to heal quickly." Hania thrust a red note at the boy.

"Nngh... Don't be ma'am." Reject the boy sincerely.

"Mom gave me a lot of food" she continued.

Hania was amazed at the boy, although his life was difficult but still had self-esteem, not greedy to accept the gifts of others.

"With pa-pa, consider us friends. And now I'm helping a friend in need." - persuaded Hania by offering friendship so that the boy did not hesitate to accept his help.

Doubtfully the boy accepted Hania's money and thanked her again.

"Tomorrow if you come here through the side door there." point Hania at the next door that is close to the exit at the back of the restaurant that is usually used by employees down and out of the restaurant so as not to disturb visitors.

"So come straight here. I'll ask the employee to separate the plastic bottles so you can take them right away." Hania said before the boy left.

Hania was still standing in her place while watching the boy pass by and disappear behind the door. Without realizing it, a pair of eyes were watching him.

Deg.

When she turned around, Hania was surprised to see a handsome man standing not far from her looking at her. The same guy as the guy who hit him 2 times or hit him a few days ago. Hania blinked her eyes and sighed to regulate her heart rhythm. Then walked towards the razor sharp-eyed man.

The athletic man was still standing in his place while staring at Hania unblinkingly. Hania was pounding even more as her footsteps got closer to the man. Her heart could not lie that now Hania was nervous to meet the man she had unwittingly admired. Because he's handsome? Hania shook her head realizing that thought.

"Sorry, this place is an employee area of the restaurant, if Mas is looking for a toilet, the visitor's toilet is on the left side of this restaurant" explained Hania.

The handsome man simply shook his head while smiling in response to Hania's explanation.

"Ah, her smile is so sweet." Inner Hania, but soon realized her admiration, then shook her head again.

Hania sighed and let go slowly to neutralize her admiration for the handsome man.

"So, did Mas need help and not find waitres in front so that he looked for him here?" tanya Hania was professional towards her restaurant visitors.

"Does Mba work here?" ask the man.

"Yes, I'm the chef here" explained Hania.

"What made my order my own Mba?" ask the man again.

Hania turned her memory. From noon he had already intervened to help Ferry process food. So, which order is meant?

"Sorry which order is it?" finally Hania asked because she couldn't guess it.

"Sup ginseng asparagus, ordered at 3 pm" said the man gave instructions.

"Sup ginseng asparagus.." Hania's barely audible murmur.

The mouth of Hania immediately forms the letter O. He remembered that afternoon he had cooked the expensive soup.

"Ah, that one.." he murmured but still could be heard by the man.

"Yes, that one." said the handsome man replied to Hania's murmur.

Hania looked at the man. Unexpectedly the man was still looking at him fixedly, even accompanied by a smile as sweet as his honey. Instantly, Hania thumped again. Uh. Being close to that handsome man made his heart always pound at will. Hania sighed then nodded, confirming the handsome man's question.

"I love the soup, it feels warm." the man praised.

"It looks like the menu will be my favorite" he continued.

Hania just smiled and nodded her head again. He was confused as to how. Plus confused again, the handsome man did not immediately move from before him.

"What does he really want?" inner Hania while glancing at the man.

"Huh, sorry I came to him, I think visitors who need help." he wrote in his heart, starting to get upset.

"That's so sweet!" keluh Hania later.

Hania who always kept her distance from the men who approached her, felt that the handsome man in front of her was just a mode. He began to feel disturbed and uncomfortable. He was automatically cold to the handsome man.

"What exactly would you do?" the tanyanya began to wither.

Gets an attitude that is not warm anymore, the man realized his attitude that was deliberately tempting the beautiful rabbit-eyed woman. In fact he liked every reaction that came from a face similar to the face of the woman in his dream. Feels anxious.

Hania snarled at the man who was being tough on her. It felt like she wanted to curse him but she remembered where he was and who he was dealing with.

In his restaurant, the guest is the king who will get a satisfying banquet. It also depends on the guest. So far, the handsome man had only tried to talk to her, so it was not included in the list of brash guests. He could neither curse nor drive away his guest.

"I'm sorry, if there's nothing to help, I'm sorry, there's still a lot of work to do" he concluded, ending the conversation because he didn't get a response, staying on his tone.

"Can we be friends?" hania's footsteps came to a halt to hear the man's request.

The handsome man was still staring fixedly at Hania as Hania looked at the man. The man's sweet smile came up again. Making it more charming just makes Hania pounding even more. I don't know. Himself confused. On the other hand he was disturbed by the presence of the man but on the other hand he also admired him.

"So what did he say? Befriends? He's this shit the hell" Hania monologue in heart.

Hania scanned the man from head to toe then to head again. The sharp but shady look in his eyes hypnotized Hania to look at him as well. The man smiled again. He now realized the man's lips were a little pink and sexy. What's!? Sexy!? Hania blinked her eyes as soon as she realized her mind was drifting wildly.

For some reason, this man in front of him easily caught his attention. All this time only Galih was allowed to approach him. But it seemed like this handsome man in front of her could slowly tear down her sturdy defensive wall if the man's demeanor was as sweet as honey like his ever-rising smile on his sexy lips.

"uh right? I praise him again!" rutuk Hania in his heart.

Uh. Hania was wrong. He was ashamed of his thoughts.

"I'm Arga." The handsome man began to introduce himself.
