The Trust In Timing
Night sky
Unusual afternoon, where people are still busy in front of their computer screens. The time has hit at 18:45, already 1 hour 45 minutes ago they should have stopped working but they were forced to choose to continue to struggle with their monitor screen. Not without reason, an incident that harms the value of the company that makes them forced to work overtime to be responsible for repairing and stopping losses so as not to get bigger. Everyone seemed to be busy in the room except for a pensive looking girl staring at the increasingly dark sky from behind the huge glass surrounding the room.
"Al!" Someone patted Alora's shoulder made her realize from her daydream. Alora turned her eyes and found Cassie standing next to her, no matter when.
"Lah daydreaming! You're not coming home?"
"I have to go home!"
"When do you want to go home?"
"Now! Yuk's home!" Take Alora while cleaning the desk and bag
"Lo forgot? I can go home now!" Whine Cassie
"Ahh yes, so you're overtime?"
"Forced!"
"Sampe when?"
"Newly finished deployment, and only I can test after okay from his dev. Around 1 or 2 o'clock I just got home"
"The spirit!" Whispering Alora while clenching her right hand showed support for Cassie, Cassie nodded softly
"Ahhh why is also fitting I just transferred a new team no bugs it! Why try? I just moved the team two days, the third day was a problem!" Whining Cassie, Alora nodded while patting Cassie on the shoulder, there was no other way to comfort her
"The spirit!" Alora said, this time harder than the first
"Sangat! You want to go home now?" Alora nodded
"Yes, be careful!"
"iyaaa, you are also the spirit! I'm going home first"
"okay, see you tomorrow!"
"See yes!" Pamit Alora while waving and walking out of the room left Cassie who looks still pouting because she has to stay up again tonight. Alora stepped out of the towering office building in the middle of the city. The sky was getting darker, the lights along the street were glittering, the streets were crowded and filled with a variety of vehicles, cars, motorcycles, buses and bicycles as well as pedestrians. Alora stopped, observing the streets and tall buildings around her. He looked up his eyes, up, trying to find something up there but again tonight there are no stars in sight or maybe their light is outnumbered by the lights of buildings and also the lights along the way.
"All right!" Determination after successfully making a decision
"Tonight, let's relax! Look at the sky as much as you can, eat and drink whatever you want, go home all, if you need to come and enjoy the sky tonight! Go Alora!" His determination. He then walked against the flow of the road that should be, he stepped away from his original goal to go home, he decided to go enjoy the sky tonight to the fullest. Now he has arrived at his new destination, a cafe on the 9th floor. The night sky was clearly visible from Alora's seat, she chose to sit facing the street at the end of the rooftop which was bounded by a glass fence. In front of him has presented a variety of foods and drinks that are ready to be eaten. Alora began to devour the dishes one by one, occasionally she smiled enjoying the food as well as the night scene before her. His eyes were busy watching the sky, the buildings, the streets and the food in front of him until he did not realize there was a pair of eyes that kept watching him from a distance. Alora pulled the phone out of her bag, searched for a name and made a call, the first attempt failed, there was no answer. Alora tried again and again
"Yes hello my dear! Do you already kos?" Cassie finally answered Alora's call after five previous calls with no answer
"Still busy?"
"Banget, that's why I just answered your phone. What's up?"
"uh uh? Where's nginep? Lo kostan? The distance!"
"Gue gabalik kos"
"so where are you now?"
"The Hermitage"
"Hotel?"
"Now at the restaurant, after a second thought, I'm here"
"Al, why are you? Suddenly nginep in the hotel, expensive hotel again that. Are you confused about money?"
"go again enjoy my hard-earned money! So you want to? From you back to kos"
"huftt... okay! Let's have some fun tonight!" Cassie agrees to Alora's invitation is not without reason, Cassie also needs him to vent her disappointment because of a jerk who has cheated on her.
"Okay, I'll tell you the no room" Alora ended their conversation and returned to eating her dishes. After enjoying the night sky for 2 hours, Alora decided to leave the restaurant, she walked to the cashier's table to pay her meal bill
"table 13 mba" Alora tells her no desk to find out the amount of the bill
"hmm, table 13 has been paid for brother" said the cashier after checking on his computer screen
"not yet, I just finished eating"
"but the entire bill has been paid since 1 hour ago brother"
"but I haven't paid yet, I just finished eating just now" confused Alora tried to explain her condition
"means someone else is paying him sis, maybe his brother's friend or girlfriend"
"i came alone mba" Alora was getting confused
"Okay, but the bill has already been paid"
"do you know who paid for it?" The cashier shook his head to answer Alora's question
"Okay, thanks mba"
"sama-sister" Finally inevitably Alora had to accept it, she then left the restaurant in confusion
"who's he? Why would he do that? Does he know me?" His mind was now filled with questions that never found an answer
