True Love Never Ends
The Part 16
Surya, Raya, Nasha and Harry have now arrived at a luxury restaurant. They were taken to the VIP room and there Ruben with a woman who said Raya was his ex-wife and also his son was waiting for them.
Surya is the chief director of City Hospital, a hospital owned by Ruben who is none other than Surya's best friend. While Raya is the owner of one of the largest and famous boutiques in Indonesia. The same profession owned by Ruben's ex-wife so that Ruben's ex-wife is also friendly with Raya. It's just that Ruben's ex-wife's boutique is in Australia.
Ruben's ex-wife named Jessica was invited to Indonesia because her son wanted to visit his father while since divorce he lived with his mother in Australia. A little bit, that's the unimportant information Raya conveyed to Nasha and Harry.
"How are you, Sha? Har?" greet Ruben who has known them since childhood.
"Well, Om." replied Nasha with a flat expression while Harry was always indifferent. Nasha was always friendly, but this time she couldn't.
Nasha was very tired, not to mention her mood was completely ruined because of the goddamn dress that showed her smooth shoulders and back.
It's not the first time Nasha has worn this type of outfit, but it's the first time Nasha has felt tormented by this outfit and she feels naked. Uncomfortable and embarrassed.
"Oh yes, know this Ramos, my son who is now also a great Doctor in Australi" exclaimed Ruben proudly.
The man named Ramos reached out his hand at Nasha, Nasha greeted reluctantly. Then switch with Harry.
"When you were very small, Ram.." said Surya.
"Yes, my ex-wife took her when Ramos was 7 years old" Ruben replied and Jessica stared at Ruben.
"You can't call me by my name, can you? Why mention our status?" ask Jessica not to like it.
Ramos only glanced at his Mama at a glance then he sipped the drink in front of him with sajtu. Ramos looks cold and the type of person who is ignorant, he also looks not so fond of this meeting.
The elders were talking about many things, while the children were just silent.
"Sha, are you quiet? Talk to Ramos dong, he's already a doctor at the age of 25. You have a lot to learn from him." said Surya and Nasha just nodded slowly. Nasha's eyes were pretty and her face was pale.
"Ma, Mum. I'm the same with Sister Nasha to come home. Nasha's sister seems to be feeling good." said Harry who made Nasha smile faintly. Ah, Harry... Very clever.
"Beyond? I think it was healthy" said Raya.
"Try Mama look at the pale face of Brother Nasha." said Harry again and Nasha immediately put on his limp expression and his glare.
"Yes, what if you want to go home, let Ramos inter.." said Ruben and Nasha directly looked at Harry, gesturing he did not want to.
"Think about it, Om. Thanks, come on, brother..." Harry immediately pulled Nasha no matter the look of Raya and Surya's reprimand.
"I also want to go home, I'm tired." said Ramos and without waiting for approval from anyone he immediately went from there.
"So, we live here.." said Raya "Oh yeah, how's your boutique there?" ask Jessica.
"Walking really well, I'll even open a new boutique"
"When is the construction of the hospital, Sur?"
"Very good, Ben... Our hospital is very famous and became one of the largest hospitals in Indonesia"
And so their next conversation, husbands talking about hospitals and wives talking about their boutiques.
.........
Abi Fadlan has now been allowed to go home but the doctor insists that he should not be tired and should rest also have to regularly exercise lightly so that his body remains fit.
As a result, his Electronic Blessing Shop that provides various electronic items for household needs was closed temporarily.
"You need to close, tell Azhar to take care" Abi Fadlan said, stealing his wife's coffee.
"Ehem..." Azhar cleared her throat seeing her father's mischief. Quickly Abi Fadlan wiped his mouth and walked up the innocent temple.
"Let Azhar keep Ummi shop, Bi. Ummi there is this study." replied Umm Mufar.
"O Allah, cook Abi's son who is like an Arab prince is told to take care of the bakery?" abi Fadlan's grumbling makes Azhar laugh.
"What problems? Precisely if the handsome man who guards the bread, the more rame later Ummi shop"
"Yes already Bi, let Azhar open the Ummi bakery, Bread if you do not sell stale and must be thrown away. Meanwhile, if electronic goods do not sell for a year also not stale"
"There are Abi goods that are stored for up to a year, everything is fast" said the Abi. They looked like young men arguing.
"Yes, tomorrow Azhar open Abi shop and today Azhar open Ummi shop, fair right?"
"Okey.." replied Ummi and her Abi together.
....... ...
"Where are we going?" elin asked because Nasha turned left while the way home turned right. They had just finished their seminar at the college and Nasha wanted to go straight home because she felt a little unwell.
"Buy bread first, Harry asked to buy his bread Ummi Rifa" replied Nasha.
"I also happen to want, the Ummi Rifa bread is very good. Different from each other" said Elin.
"Maybe the angels make it good, because I often see Ummi Rifa that read the Quran if there are no buyers" replied Nasha.
"Hehe, it could be. Blessing so her" continued Elin because they had subscribed with the Ummi Rifa Bread store.
The shop is simple and does not seem luxurious at all, but there are various kinds of bread there and Nasha also Elin really likes her. In fact, they have also heard some of his college friends say Ummi Rifa bread is delicious and different from bread in other stores.
"Udah, but hp is active. Like her she's mad at me"
"Why angry?"
"Maybe because I bear the turban" Nasha said as she parked her car in front of a shop that read 'Ummi Rifa' Bread' "Later I will also embrace his heart will not dwell he tuh" muttered Nasha again that makes Elin giggled amused.
"Bas with the halu..."
"Ummi Rifa." exclaimed Nasha who had now entered the bakery but he did not see the owner.
"No one is there" Elin murmured, looking at the bread.
"Ami Ri.... Azhar?" exclaimed Nasha in disbelief when she saw the figure she had been thinking about all this time in front of her. Elin who heard Nasha mention Azhar's name immediately turned his head and he was no less surprised to see Azhar there.
"Nasha?" murmured Azhar who was similarly surprised by the two of them.
"What are you doing here?" asked Nasha enthusiastically.
"Jagain shop" Azhar replied briefly.
"You work here?" ask Elin again who is also curious about the existence of Azhar in Jakarta. And Azhar just nodded while giving a faint smile, she did not expect to meet Nasha at this time. It was like a dream for her. And somehow Azhar felt nervous coming back to face a gookil girl like Nasha.
"You want to buy bread?" tanya Azhar tried to hide her nervousness.
"Yes, where's your boss?" nasha asked again and Azhar frowned confusedly.
"Boss?" ask Azhar.
"Yes, Ummi Rifa. We already know your boss, we are one of the loyal customers of this store" said Nasha at length who made Azhar distrust. Is the world this small?
"Nasha, Elin." They heard the calm voice they had memorized.
"Eh Ummi, we want to buy bread" said Elin.
"Oh yes, long time ago you guys did not buy bread" said Ummi Rifa then put his large bag containing mucena and books on the cashier's table.
"Yes, we went on vacation to Elin village" replied Nasha and Azhar who looked at her mother's familiarity with Nasha could only be stunned. They're like friends who've been friends for a long time"Ummi has a new employee?" ask Nasha again. Ummi Mufar glanced at Azhar then nodded with a wide smile.
"Actually he..."
"Azhar is our friend, Ummi. We met in the village. Isn't that Azhar?" ask Nasha who now even makes Ummi his dumbfounded.
Ummi Rifa looked at Azhar full of question marks while Azhar was still just gawking and looking confused.
"Azhar's..." Nasha pulled Azhar's arm and made Azhar flinch "Oh yeah, when are you going to Jakarta? Why don't you tell me? I called you but your number is not active" Nasha said at length and she looked a little sullen at the end of her sentence.
"My phone is gone, Nasha.." That's just Azhar's answer.
"I didn't think we'd see you here again" Elin continued with a sweet smile.
"You know each other?" tanya Ummi Rifa looked at the three of them in exchange.
"Yes, Ummi." answered Nasha confidently, and saw the expression of his son Ummi Rifa as if he had understood all her.
"So Nasha wants to buy what bread? Or is it still the same? Chocolate sandwiches, pineapple jam bread and also steamed bread?" tanya Ummi Rifa but her eyes instead glanced at Azhar as if implying something.
"Yupz, right. Hehe.." answered Nasha.
"And Elin would want to buy a comb bread and peanut butter" said Ummi Rifa again while taking the bread.
"Ummi Rifa's action is strong as well" Elin said.
"Azhar, please pack it.." Ummi Rifa and Azhar said immediately carry out the orders of her mother.
Nasha took a piece of paper and wrote down her normal cell phone there then she gave it to Azhar.
"Who knows you want to find another job, this job is not suitable for you" said Nasha half-whispering while glancing at Ummi Rifa as if he was afraid Ummi Rifa heard him.
"But I like it here, the boss is good" Azhar replied, whispering as if she was following the flow where Nasha's mind was flowing.
"Ummi Rifa is good, but you can get a better job and definitely a higher salary" whispered Nasha again and with all her might Azhar restrained her amused laughter with the innocent manner of this city girl.
"It's..." Azhar gave Nasha her loaf of bread "You have Elin" she continued because Elin went outside and was talking on the phone with someone.
"Okey, don't forget to call me yes.See you" Nasha said with a smile.
"Maksih Ummi Rifa, tomorrow Nasha back to buy bread" Nasha told Ummi Rifa who was arranging his bread in the storefront.
"Buy some more bread or want to see Azhar.." muttered Ummi Rifa while chuckling amusedly"So she's the lady's friend?" the Ummi Goda Rifa.
"Yes, he thought Azhar was a village youth"
"And now he thinks you're Ummi's bakery keeper"
