The Love Story of the Old Virgin
#2 Meeting the Past
Sissy tried to focus on the meeting this time.
'Why the hell should meet him here.' Inner Sissy.
Throughout the meeting the man continued to steal a look at him. Feeling uncomfortable.
"Good Miss Sissy. Outline of the event we have discussed. To continue the preparation of this event will be handled by Mr. Tata." Mr. Handi's voice breaks Sissy's daydream.
"Ready sir. I will certainly do well. Please cooperate, Mr. Tata." Sissy said as she glanced at the man.
"Good ma'am." Tata replied while throwing her sweet smile at Sissy which actually made her eneg.
They also ended the meeting.
"Sorry Sir. I still have something to discuss with Sissy. Let me go home alone." Tata asked permission on Mr. Handi who was replied with a nod from him.
Mr. Handi and his assistant have risen and left the room with Mr. Niken delivered.
Tata, Sissy and a kitchen staff are left in the room. They were also seriously talking about the Rundown of the Akbar Gathering event.
Soon their discussion was over and they walked out of the VIP room.
"Si, wait a minute." Call Tata when they come out of the VIP room.
Sissy stopped her steps and turned to Tata.
"What's up ?" ask Sissy a little sniffly.
"I want to apologize to you. I used to hurt you." asked Tata in a clear voice.
"What have you ever hurt me ?" sissy said cynically.
"Yes Si, I know I used to hurt you." continued Tata "I didn't expect to see you here again."
"I'm separated from my wife.. I want to make amends for my old mistakes and fix our relationship." Tata continued to talk to Sissy who was just silent while staring at the floor.
"Si, are you quiet? answer dong Si !" Tata's hand was outstretched, grabbing Sissy's hand which Sissy immediately pulled.
"I'm sorry Mr. Tata, I am here as a supervisor at this restaurant who will help the implementation of the Gathering Akbar office. Please act professional. Excuse me sir, " replied Sissy while leaving Tata alone.
Sissy quickened her pace towards her study. He wanted to try to calm himself first.

At 5pm Sissy was getting ready to come home. While waiting for the online taxi he ordered to arrive, Sissy pulled out her phone and called a number.
"Assalamualaikum Ma, I'll go home. Mama want what nitip ?" Sissy's greeting to her Mama
"Waalaikumsalam De's. Mama didn't nitip anything de." Answer the woman across.
"Yes is Mam. Ade came home. Coincidentally bought oranges too." Sissy said as she ended the conversation on the phone
Shortly the online taxi that was booked came.
Throughout the journey Sissy much daydreaming, still thinking about the figure of Tata who once hurt him.
'why have to meet him again s' inner Sissy.
'get ready this week, have to see him often'.
'Oh my God, why is the world so narrow'
sissy's grouse in heart.
Sissy walked in with her mother's favorite orange.
"Ma Assalamualaikum." Greetings Sissy while kissing the back of her Mama's hand who was watching television alone.
"Waalaikumsalam" answered his mother
"this is Sissy bawain oranges Ma.. Sissy peels yes." said Sissy to his mother who was replied with a nod.
"Rara where Ma. How do you watch TV alone ? " Tanya Sissy's.
"In De's room. Abis took an afternoon shower and did not come out again, " replied his mother.
"Yauda Ma, Sissy wants to take a bath while looking at Rara first." Sissy got up to the top floor of her house.
"tok tok" Sissy knocked on Rara's room door. Rara is Sissy's niece who lives here. Rara is in 2nd grade Junior High.
"Ra... What the hell else ?" call Sissy while opening the door because there is no word from the inside. Hhm, it turns out that Rara is playing t**** while using headphones.
'the impression from earlier was called nakahut' inner Sissy.
"Sister, daritadi Ate callin kok not horrified. Temenin Eyang used to be downstairs. Ate wants to take a shower" Sissy said as she approached Rara
Rara was shocked to squirm her tantric suddenly behind her.
"Of at least, make me surprised." Rara opened her headphones.
"Cepet down first temenin eyang. Ate wants to take a shower first" Sissy repeated which was answered with a nod.
After the shower, Sissy rushed to the kitchen to prepare dinner for them all.
Dinner was silent. Sometimes you hear Rara talking about her activities today.
Finish eating Sissy clean up the dining table. Sissy wiped the table and Rara was doing the dishes. Sissy deliberately involved her nephew to take care and clean the house so that her nephew could be independent.
"Te, Saturday tomorrow we go to the house uti yuk. Rara kangen with Adek." Pinta Rara.
"This week Ate can't. Ate has to be overtime because there's an event at the resto."
Sissy rubbed Rara's head looking disappointed.
"God's insha next week yes we go to his Uti house" said Sissy
"Yes to Te. No papa. Rara wants to call Adek and Mama first" Rara has turned into a carefree again.
"Yes dear." replied Sissy.
Reva, Rara's sister does live with Grandma from her Papa. They live in a village on the outskirts of town. Ochy tea who is also Rara's mother works on the opposite island after getting divorced from her Papa Rara. Ochy tea can only come home once every 4 months.
Mas Genta, Papa Rara himself works at a large company abroad. He only comes home once every 6 months. Therefore, Sissy was eager to make both of her parents happy. He did not want his two parents to feel the things he had experienced so far, sad because he always watched his parents fight.
That night after making sure her mother was asleep, Sissy went into her room.
'I'm tired today.' Sissy's mind while throwing the body on the soft mattress.
Suddenly Sissy remembered the incident this afternoon at the restaurant. His brain immediately turned back the beautiful and bad memory that happened 10 years ago when he was still a teacher at an SMK in Bandung, in his father's hometown.
Primary Tata.
What was their story like in the past? Why is it so deeply wounding for Sissy.
