Asyifa looked at one by one vehicles passing on the highway in front of the cafe where it is currently located.
Suddenly the flat object beside his hand shook and the name Mira appeared there.
"Hello Ra, what's wrong?" ask Asyifa after swiping the answer button.
"Hello Fa, what are you now?"
"Calculate the number of vehicles passing by, perhaps?"
"What's? Don't tell me you're still at the cafe? Is your work not done yet? How many hours have you been there?"
"Well, I'm still at the cafe right now and my work is done. I've been here almost 4 hours, maybe?"
"4 hours? It's lunchtime, have you eaten yet?"
"I'll finish my drink and go back to the apartment for lunch. Don't worry Mira"
"Well then, Angel and I should go to the cafeteria right now. Bye, Asyifa"
"Bye, Mira"
Asyifa had just put her cellphone back on the table, when a man who somehow felt familiar was casually sitting before her.
"Hi, we meet again" said the man smiling as he looked at Asyifa's face.
"You...?"
"Williams. My name is William, the man who once asked you to share a table with him at this Cafe"
"Ah yes, William! Sorry I forgot your name for a moment"
"No problem. By the way, we've met here twice, and always your desk looks full of work. Do you really like working, Ashifa?"
"Ah, sorry. I'll take care of it soon" Ashifa said embarrassedly.
"No need for Ashifa. I will occupy another table, because today many tables are empty. I came here just to greet you, because it would be impolite to just pass by. So please continue your work"
"Ah, yes. Please enjoy your time as well, William" said Ashifa with a dead red face, holding in shame.
"You too, and it's good to see you again Asyifa"
After William had passed from his desk, Ashifa immediately put her face on the table and devoted herself to foolishness.
How could he have thought that William would sit with him? And why was Ashifa able to answer only William's words with very short answers? It was as if he didn't want to talk to the man any longer.
"Foolish base, Asyifa! Why is your chest still pounding is unclear, even though William looks very relaxed" murmured Asyifa.
He quickly tidied up his luggage and put it in a bag, then walked towards the cashier.
The only thing he could and should do now was to leave that place immediately. He did not want to become more and more misbehaved when faced again with William.
"Excuse me, I'll pay. Can I have the total bill?"
"May brother, for table number 4 well? Total 150 thousand, would you like to use a card or cash aja kak?"
"Cash aja mas. Here's the money" Asyifa offered a hundred and a fifty.
"Thank you, please come back"
"Yes, same mas"
While outside the Cafe, Ashifa felt worms in her stomach had begun to protest asking for food.
"Do I look for food outside well, rather than having to cook again in the apartment. I could have died before the food was cooked because it was so hungry!"
Asyifa quickly picked up her phone wanting to book a vehicle online, but it stopped because suddenly a voice called her name.
"William, what's wrong?" ask Asyifa when she realizes that it was William who just called her name.
"Why are you leaving? Is it because I'm in the cafe, which makes you uncomfortable?"
"Huh? Ma'am, it's not William, I should've gone from there. Because the workers there are tired of seeing my face"
"I don't understand, why are they tired of seeing you?"
"I've been there for 4 hours William. Aren't you bored when you see people with the same face for hours?"
"Not really, if I depended on who it was. But if you look at your face for hours, I don't think it will be bored at all" said William who successfully made the face of Ashifa red extinguished.
"Mom, you mean?"
"My point is, do you want to go to lunch with me now?"
"Well, because my stomach worms have started protesting for food intake. What worms in your stomach don't?"
"Couldn't be the same? You have worms on your stomach, too, huh?" asked Asyifa plainly, making William instantly smile withholding laughter.
"So what do you want to eat?"
"But didn't you just get here? Look, your order alone hasn't half eaten yet! Or haven't you touched at all?" ask Asyifa while pointing towards the inside of the Cafe.
At the table that was occupied by William, looks food and drinks are still neatly arranged, as if never touched at all.
"I suddenly wanted to eat rice and just drink iced tea. So the food I ordered just now, I gave it to the waiters who work at the Cafe to eat together"
"Fields rice and iced tea? Sounds so good!" asyifa said unconsciously.
"justified? Come eat with me! I know where the delicious padang cuisine is!"
"All right, let's go! Hold on, I'll book the vehicle online first so we can go"
"But I'm taking Fa's car, don't you want to get in my car?"
"Ah, you brought a car? Sorry I don't know" said Ashifa embarrassed, aware that he returned wrong behavior.
"It's okay. It's only natural that you don't know, I haven't said it since. Come on to my car, I parked it there"
"Yes, come"
Asyifa followed William from behind happily, but their steps had to be stopped because a car suddenly stopped in front of the two.
A handsome man descended from inside the car and upon seeing his face, instantly made Asyifa surprised.
"Sir Zidan?"
"You know that guy, Fa?"
"Yes I know, Will. He's my boss at the company I work for"
"so apparently. But why is he blocking our way? Do you have an appointment to meet him?"
"I have no appointment with him. I am now taking my leave, and doing my work from home, then sending it by email. Therefore, there is no reason for us to meet" explained Asyifa at length.
"Sorry, what's the need until you get in our way?" william asked, not liking Zidan who is now in front of him.
"Do I know you?" reply Zidan cold.
"Ah, Mr. Zidan, are you going to meet clients at this Cafe?" asyifa asked trying to melt the atmosphere.
Somehow Asyifa felt the atmosphere around the three suddenly turned very cold, so that the fur on his back immediately creeped.
"Do I have to meet clients first, can I come to this cafe?"
"Mom, that's not it, sir. It's just that Mr. Zidan has never been here, and was suddenly here, so I think Mr. Zidan wants to meet with clients" Asyifa replied curiously.
"It doesn't matter what business I have here, which is clear now that you have to sign me off for lunch!"
"Ta, but sir..."
"Sorry to interrupt you, but Asyifa already has an appointment to have lunch with me!" william said unconsciously to use my word and you as Zidan did.
"I didn't ask if he had any appointments with you or anyone else!"
"Isn't that the same as using your position to pressure employees who work with you? Asyifa said that he is currently taking a leave of absence, which means that he does not have to obey your words!"
"Asyifa, how much longer do I have to wait for you to come with me?" ask Zidan ignoring William's words.
"Ah, se, a minute sir. Look William, I'm sorry. But our lunch together should be canceled today, because I had to go with my boss. But I promise I will make it up to you next time" asked Asyifa with a clear face.
"Well, it doesn't matter if you ask for it. But I'm asking, give me your phone number. So that I can call you, and win our lunch appointment that's off today" William relented. He felt very tired, seeing the face pleading for Asyifa.
William offered his phone to Ashifa, who was accepted by the girl with pleasure.
"Thank you for William's understanding" said Asyifa returned William's phone, after he finished typing the number.
"Let's hurry Asyifa, I'm already very hungry! Do you want to see me starve to death here?"
"Good sir Zidan. William, I'm leaving first. Again I'm sorry"
"Be careful, Ashifa. See you later" said William as he stroked the top of Ashifa's head, which made the girl's face meet red again.
Zidan who saw the interaction between Asyifa and William before him, could only clench his palms with a look of dislike.
Seriate...
