A Match For Brother

Special Customer

The pounding sound on the door rang out loud, waking Arya from her deep sleep. He opened his eyes, and blinked to adjust his gaze to the dim light from the sleeping lamp he had forgotten to turn off last night.

He turned to the left where the window of his room was not properly closed. Sparks of rainwater that flushed the city of Bandung since dawn had hit the glass, causing a condensing effect on the object.

"Did you?" anna's voice rang out, followed by a knock at the door.

Arya got up, pulled out the blanket and lowered her legs.

"Abang, it's noon. Not working today?" Anna called again.

"Yes." the man replied.

He glanced at the digital clock on the nightstand, which already showed almost half seven in the morning.

"Geez!" he wiped his face, then laughed softly.

The conversation with the girl last night made her unable to close her eyes until dawn. There was a bit of regret, why he was unable to control himself. Talking to Vania always makes her forget a lot of things. His self-control just blew away.

He laughed again, then dropped his body on the bed. He was stretched out with both hands spread over his head.

Hhhh ... congratulations, your days will not be the same anymore, Arya! his inner.

"Abang! breakfast is ready! bad luck!" Anna shouted back.

"Yes Anna" he answered, rising up and lazily walking to the bathroom.

"Let's go to mom and dad's grave." Anna started the conversation as they started her breakfast that morning.

"So?"

"Yes. There is still time. It will be busy." Anna nodded her head.

"What time?" Arya sipped her black coffee which was still puffing thin steam.

"It looks like a lunch break. Hopefully it won't rain."

"Okay, I'll pick you up."

"If you're busy, that's okay. Kang Rendra will pick me up."

"Rendra's coming?"

Anna nodded.

"But later if you have a brother also there, it has been a long time also not to visit mother and father." Arya.

"Yes, it's up to you."

They continued their breakfast quietly.

"Oh yeah, last night I heard my brother call me again." Anna spoke again.

"Group ..." Arya coughed, almost spitting out the coffee she was sipping.

"Ish, .. just a few times."

The man immediately grabbed a tisyu nearby.

"Until that hour still takes care of the frying pan, huh? didn't I tell you not to take any more extra work? you don't have to take overtime again to get more money."

"Nh ..."

"Not work as hard as before. Now it's just for my own brother." Anna was unaware of the change in her older brother.

"It's just ...

"Now just think of yourself, don't think of me."

Arya remained silent.

"Yes, you're finished yet? I'm leaving now. Can you be together?"

"Come come on .. Brother's done too."

Arya stopped her car in the parking lot of the city park area, not far from the spot of snacks owned by Vania that afternoon looked crowded.

He hesitated, but could not help but come there, wanting to see how the girl reacted after their conversation last night.

Vania is being preoccupied by customers who continue to arrive, most of whom are schoolchildren and students from nearby campuses.

"Did you?" the girl said as she turned around. He found Arya standing not far from him.

The man regained his senses from his daydream, and by reflex his lips curved into a smile.

"Wanna eat?" Vania approached, after calling a staff member and handing over a note of the order from the previous table.

"You want, uh ..." Arya shook her head while twitching a few times.

The two of them faced each other, yet both fell silent. Look for ideas in each other's heads to start the conversation today.

"Ang ..

"You .." they're simultaneously.

"Why is it so awkward?" Vania chuckles.

"Sit down, I made some food first" he said, who then turned the body back into the stall to make food.

And within minutes he returned with a plate of fried rice in a tray.

"I had forgotten what my brother wanted to eat first, but if I go back again it must be a long time." he put a plate on the table, followed by a glass of mango juice with a color that tempts taste.

"Come, eat" he said, and Arya followed him without a word.

"Ehm, .." another interrupting voice sounded. The two people turned their heads, and the King's face seemed to have just arrived.

"Did you eat here too?" the young man walked over.

"Yes, .. you?"

"Oh yes I forgot. His office moved near here, didn't it?" The king sat on a chair across from Arya.

"Hmm .." the man continued to eat.

"Mau fried noodles dong, the usual.sama .. mango juice as well." he glanced towards Arya.

"Okay, just a minute." Vania searches for the whereabouts of her employees, but the two are still busy serving customers.

"I made a minute." he went back to where he was processing food.

"Dong boy huh, closer to here now?" The king started a conversation.

"meaning?" Arya stopped her eating.

"Yes, ... The break went out, right close here?"

The king nodded his head.

"Oh yes, .. Mr. Harlan has returned to Jakarta?" Arya then asked.

"Udah, yesterday. Didn't go to brother first, huh? usually likes to wait. Not like his own son ?" he said, more to insinuations. Given the closeness of the father to his confidants in one branch of his business.

"Don't start the King!"

"What's? that's the truth, isn't it? Papa thinks more like his own son than me." he chirped, almost like a grunt.

"You've been misrepresented." Arya put a spoon on her food plate.

The king chuckled, but pitched in annoyance.

"Nobody but like Papa's golden son. Not funny at all?"

"Ck, .. It's up to you. It's also free for me to explain that Mr. Harlan is not what you think he is. And I'm not the golden boy."

"Yes, why so much talk, is it like that?"

Arya rolled her eyeballs, puffed up.

Vania again brought the King's order which she immediately placed in front of the young man.

"Cok not finished? the fried rice is not good, is it?" he asked Arya.

"Brand. The portions are too many, next time reduce a little." replied Arya, sipping her mango juice, and now her tone sounded more friendly.

"Say next time, I think there's a plan to come here often?" King murmuring.

"Well, if anyone's close, why not?" Arya with her acnya.

"Don't get the rice box, huh? was it sent to Mimi at eleven?"

"I'll give it to the security guard."

"Why?"

"It's okay. There are plans to eat out." explained Arya.

"Oh, .." The girl's mouth forms the letter O.

"Eh, yes for a second. There's a new menu, you try it?" Vania immediately ran to pick up something and came back in no less than two minutes.

"It's a special menu that I said yesterday." he handed me a small plate containing a foreign snack that Arya had just seen. It looks like a white round cake.

"What's this?" the man stared at the food.

"Eskrim." Vania with her cheerful smile.

"Eskrim?" Arya.

"Hu'um, ..." the girl nodded.

"Mochi ice cream."

"Mochi?"

"Yes, the oak mochi cake." she explained. "People of Vanilla" he said again.

"Sugary?"

Vania nodded her head.

"Let's try, good? I haven't sold the soles I just made yesterday."

"I'm a guinea pig?" Arya pointed at herself.

"No, .. Mimi said it was delicious. I don't know if the customer is trying. So consider me a brother is a special customer that I give the opportunity to nyicipin my latest product." explained Vania.

"Special customers?" Arya smelled a smile.

"Hu'um." Vania nodded again.

"So, just feeling like you're alone here. What am I considered? that statue?" The king interrupted again when he felt he was not considered by the two people in front of him.

"Will the King try too?" Vania turned to the King.

"You think?"

"Yes, the food hasn't gone, has it?"

"So just a special drink?" king's Protest.

"Yes .. ngak that too."

"Continue?"

"Behold, I told Mimi to take it."

Arya tried to ignore the nearby debates. But he began to devour the snack in front of him with a smile that continued to linger on his lips. He even felt that there were many flowers blooming in his heart, and it felt pleasant.

"Where's bang? Yummy?" Vania tilted her head, waiting for Arya's reaction with her homemade mochi eskrim.

The man did not answer, he was still busy chewing the food and was seen to absorb it in earnest.

Vania looked at him with a thumping heart. Of course, he focused on that face that had graced his dreams every night for so many years.

"Sweet." said Arya, behind the arrangement Vania.

"Funny?" the girl lowered her head, she remembered the man in front of her who did not particularly like sweet food.

"Yes, .. later I am diabetic." replied Arya, and have not yet removed her eyes from Vania's face.

"So should I cut down on the sweetness, huh?" Vania re-stretched her body.

"Don't!" Arya grabbed her hand, "Mm .. that is, no need." she then let go when she realized someone was watching.

"The cream is delicious, and the cake is, too. It's fitting, and you can sell it right now." he continued.

"Really?" Vania half-believed.

"Yes." Yeah." Arya nodded.

"Okay if that's it."

"Mm. .. I forgot to have an appointment with Anna." the man finished his snack, and wiped his mouth with a tishu and then got up. Grabbing his wallet in his pants pocket, and pulling a sheet of money in blue and then put it in the treybill that is available on the table.

"Go first" he said, then immediately left the place while hiding his reddened face.
