Even the day was still cold outside. And in front of the store, the two of them chatted accompanied by a warm cup of coffee.
For a few seconds, there was an awkward air between them. And also, Meira did not even know the name of the man.from earlier they just sipped coffee each without talking. Until, Raka appeared.
“bos, here. eat something. Because it's cold outside, I made you this soup.” he said smbil gave a bowl of warm soup.
“thank you Ervin.”
“good servant, for me where..? joked Arva while smiling fakely.
Raka only replied with a mocking look and immediately entered back into the store. Meira who was looking at Ervin's behavior smiled as she sipped the soup, and Arva asked him.
“do you like him.?”
“uhukk...uhukk.. what..?!” answer Meira who is choking on soup.
“what if you don't admit it. It was clearly visible in your eyes.” Arva said with a smile.
Meira was really shocked by the man's words.They had not even known each other and the man seemed to know him very well.
“tuan. actually, who are you..? why did you know I was here.?” ask Meira.
“aku..? I'm a nobody. I was just wandering around looking for someone.”
“then, have you found that person.?” meira asked while putting down the soup.
“iya. But I'm not sure if he's the one.” He said as he looked towards Meira.
For a moment they looked at each other. Then Meira is seen smiling and taking her soup again. Raka, who had been peeking out the shop window, felt something strange in her chest.
“odd. Why do I feel sad to see Meira with someone else. Shouldn't I be happy to see her smiling again.?” muttered.
“well, introduce. My name is Arva.” He said while extending his hand.
“aku Meira's. Greetings know.” Meira replied while replying to her hand.
“oh yes. I have something for you.” Said Arva while taking out an item in his pocket.
“what's this..? is this a clock.?” ask Meira.
“iya that's for you. As a gift our introduction.” He said with a smile.
“this is how I feel or what, I like to have this first.” Meira muttered while looking at the shape of the clock.
“why..? don't you like.?” ask Arva.
“no. It's just, I feel like I once had a pocket watch like this back in childhood. Or maybe just my feelings huh.?” meira is still amazed.
“no. You did have that once.” murmured Arva.
“thank you for the gift.”ucap Meira while putting it in her pants pocket.
“sama-same. When I was a kid, I used to help my grandmother keep an antique shop. In fact, I had no interest in them at all until, once upon a time, a little girl gave me an old pocket watch gift that she bought from my grandmother's shop.” said Arva while looking at the sky and remembering the incident.
“certain. Ask.”
“what has your hair been like since then, or do you like the color of hair paint like that.?” naina asked as she looked towards Arva.
Naina felt that she had seen the shape and color of the hair either when unconscious or dreaming. And the silver-haired man helped him when he fell in front of his house. He was curious, it was a dream or reality.
“are you only interested in my hair..? what about my face.? hmm.?” goda Arva while posing handsome and cool.
“no. I'm just curious about your hair.” Meira answered with a flat face and was not at all fascinated.
“ehm.. This hair, I got it shortly after I was given a second chance and got a new job.” Arva said while holding her hair.
“indeed, what is your job.?” ask meira.
“my work yes..? it's Secret. “ Arva said with a smile and put his index finger on his mouth.
“oh. Alright.”
“hahh.it looks like it's time for me to leave. Meira thanks for the chat time. I go first.” Pamit Arva while waving her hand.
“iya. Careful on the road.” Meira answered with a wave of her hand.
After seeing Arva leave, Meira entered while carrying her bowl into the store. However, without knowing Raka is behind the door and they collide.
“aduh..Ervin. what are you doing there.?”
“bos.. ma..sorry I'm the boss I don't know if the boss wants to go inside.” He said while helping Meira stand up.
“it's okay. You please put this in the kitchen and make customer orders.” He said as he left.
“hufft...Raka what are you doing.” he muttered while hitting his eel.
“Meira, as I recall. You never get cold to others like this. What because of what happened back then, made you like this.?” batin Raka's.
It was late afternoon and the employees rushed home. And as usual, Raka still cleaned up the shop before going home.
Seriate…
