At three in the morning Anika suddenly jerks while sleeping in her cramped boarding house. Cold sweat soaked his night clothes. For a long time he did not dream of the past that used to haunt him.
He started trying to sleep again but couldn't. Finally, she spends her time surfing the internet about her favorite make up through her mobile phone. The sunlight began to pierce through the thin curtains hanging on his window. He also prepared himself for college.
"Look at that handsome guy!" Anika reflexes turned her head - if in fact not interested - when her friend pointed at someone.
Anika is currently in the cafeteria with Tia. His friend had just broken up with his girlfriend. So it's only natural that his brain radar is very fast once he sees a handsome guy, he thought.
"Tomorrow night there is a BEM festival. Said he'd open a tarot divination booth and hands. From the beginning he was famous for his predictions and all the girls must have been in line to be predicted by him."
Hearing that unconsciously Anika smiled. He could feel the flowery mood emanating from his friend. It seemed like he had found a cure for his broken heart.
"Last week I have to work" Anika said with a look of apology given her part-time job as SPG that she could not leave.
"Think of it till night! After work, you just come!" Tia tried to persuade Anika.
"All right."
Back from college Anika went to the bimbel which was located quite far from where she lived. He usually teaches English school children, according to the faculty he takes. Anika did not want to bother her parents, so she tried to do as much part-time work to raise money.
The sky started to darken after Anika finished teaching. As usual he stopped by the mini market at the corner of his boarding house to buy his dinner; torn bread that would be divided by three as his meal a day.
As he walked back to his boarding house, he suddenly sensed that someone was following him. But when he looked around, only a cat was visible.
Maybe I'm exhausted, her mind.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
"Your hands are very rude."
His palm was being held by a handsome guy inside a small tent. Anika herself could not believe why she was now sitting before this man to ask to predict his fate.
She did promise Tia to watch a concert during the BEM festival, but she didn't think to hear the bullshit from this handsome pretentious guy. Anika who is not interested in prophecy, forced Tia who has been queued up to an hour to meet her new idol.
"Does that mean I have bad luck?" tanyanya a little annoyed.
"No, you're a hard worker."
Everyone knows too! angryness.
"You look like you're single?" continued the fortuneteller while continuing to fumble his hands.
He's not really fortune-telling but guess what!
Anika who felt uneasy, almost stood up before being stopped by her next words.
"Your spectrum is too heavy for you to carry alone."
Anika rolled her eyes, in disbelief.
Why would he know?
"The relationship with your parents is not good. You must be able to make peace with them if you want to eliminate your trauma." continued the young man.
Anika immediately pulled her hand and moved out of her chair.
The hard-earned bad memories he wanted to forget were opened blatantly in front of his face.
"It's still possible to predict tarot if you're less interested in hand prophecy" bargained the man with a smile.
But Anika was not tempted in the least.
"You want to predict the fate or open the disgrace of people?"
After saying that Anika directly lunged out through the crowd. He even ignored Tia who had called himself.
Arriving at his boarding house, he immediately threw himself on the bed. He just fell asleep because he was too tired.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
The next day, as if it had been programmed in her brain, Anika woke up early to prepare for work.
She ignored some unread chats from her phone, and instantly cleaned her face before starting any new makeup. He immediately changed his uniform and left with an online gojek.
These two days he has to be SPG in the supermarket for beverage products. Shiftnya from morning to afternoon makes it not have time to open the phone because it is too focused to be able to meet sales targets.
Anika carries a sample of beverage products to offer to passers-by. He ignored the weight of the item he had to carry and continued to smile kindly.
Anika continues to serve him in a friendly manner because she considers all the guests in the supermarket an opportunity to buy her products.
"Please try brother!" he said smilingly giving a tester.
The man drank a glass and speechlessly asked for more.
"Please, brother, if this is wine."
He immediately finished his drink and immediately took the others without being offered by Anika.
"How sis? Does it fit with the taste? This product is..." Just about to explain the product further, the man suddenly left just like that.
You are not polite! inner Anika. He must be the type who just wants to be free!
"If I buy three can I join the lottery?"
This time a young man with a very neat look came to Anika.
"Right, every purchase of our 3 products, can take one of these raffle papers." Anika was immediately happy to see that someone was interested in her promotion.
The man did not take the tester and bought three drinks from her. He also seemed very patient to hear the explanation given by Anika. Unfortunately he did not win the draw.
"Thank you very much, brother. Please come again tomorrow!" anika tries to encourage him.
The man smiled kindly before leaving himself.
Two people were opposite at the same time. Thought Anika after what just happened to her. He did not yet know that the two young men were going to fill his life later on.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
When returning home to receive her wages, Anika is shocked by the news that her sale today far exceeded the target.
Even though the previous day was not even half of the sales target.
While queuing with another SPG at the exit for the examination, he stole the hearing of two women who were gossiping.
"Say there's this weird masked guy who buys two-dose drinks."
"Shabby cowboy mask? He was even thought to be careless and almost expelled when he wanted to enter the supermarket!"
"It's weird to go to the supermarket just buy a drink and go home. Two more doses!"
Anika could not believe hearing that. Who asked for free that time?
Not finished digesting what she heard earlier, Anika was surprised again by seeing a familiar figure standing at the exit of the SPG.
The man leaned against the wall while looking at his cell phone.
Anika does not feel agreement with anyone, especially with a guy, so she just went through it.
"Any Ayu?"
Anika immediately turned to hear her name called.
"Who is it?" He actually had a bit of goosebumps knowing strangers knew his name, but he tried to look ordinary.
"I forgot about your fortune teller yesterday?"
It turned out that handsome guy was the guy who predicted his fate yesterday.
No stranger, the face of the market.
"You what?" His tone was a bit judes considering his behavior yesterday.
"I'm coming to get you."
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
