At the Great Cafe where Nadira works is now busy cleaning the entire cafe very clean because the parents of cafe owners will visit today.
Nadira simply followed orders without refuting. But one thing is certain he does not know how the parents of the owner of the Great cafe.
"Dira.. How is your relationship with your husband?" ask Nina.
"It's a custom to.."
Someone handed Nina a drink and looked up to see who it was.
"Sir Arga.." he said softly.
Arga smile. "This is for you Nin.."
"Still." said Nina directly in Anguki Arga.
"I'm back at work, don't be tired."
Nina nodded with a faint smile at Arga.
Nadira sees the interaction of the two. "Do you have a relationship with Arga Na?"
"He shot me during Dir." whispered Nina so as not to hear others.
Nadira was surprised to not believe the reason he never knew the two were close.
"Seriously?" tanya Nadira went up.
"Let your voice go, he I'm serious."
Nadira rubbed his arm with a fatal pinch from Nina.
"Na's pain.."
The chat between the two had to stop because Mr. Diki called the employees of the Great Cafe to gather to tell if the parents of the cafe owner had arrived together with his friends.
Mr. Diki also conveyed that he had to be extra careful because the friends of the parents of the cafe owner had an arrogant nature.
Nadira and Nina are sent by Diki sir to serve them.
"Gue was nervous" said Nadira.
"Already come, we prove to Mr. Diki we can serve them well not just our good gosipan alone."
Nadira nodded in spirit.
Both carry their own trays. With Nadira bringing hot black coffee to the parents of the cafe owner and his friends, Nina also brought one roasted chicken along with two servings of white rice. In the Nina tray there is also a serving of banana nuggets.
Carefully Nadira follows Nina in front of her towards the workspace of the Great cafe owner whom she never entered.
Two grown men were chatting in the room. He could only see the face of the grown man. Looks handsome in his adult years.
Nadira was still standing behind Nina who was still composing food on the table. He approached the table after Nina left and was still waiting by the door of the room.
Praanck...
Not yet had the coffee moved, the tray he held fell because he saw someone.
Someone who had left her and her mother. Someone the mother of the parlour told her that she was a good person. Someone who makes it must be in Jakarta. Someone he was looking for.
Someone he never mentioned all this time, **Papa.
Wijaya surya**.
His daydream was awakened when the man snapped at him until he did not realize the tears were dripping.
"What the fuck are you doing, huh?" papa Surya's.
"Ma-af." Nadira's great-grandson.
"I'm sorry? Do you know how much this suit costs? your salary a year won't be enough to replace it."
Nadira grew sobbing with all the scuffles thrown from the person he called papa. His heart is like a dagger, sick and sore.
"If people talk don't just duck." surya's papa again.
*deg
That face.. The face is very similar to Melati*, said Papa Surya in his heart.
Papa Surya's body was glued staring fixed Nadira's face similar to the woman in his past. Melati who is none other than Nadira's late mother.
"Of course, don't repeat.. You're a new employee?" tanya papa Reno is none other than papa Qenan the owner of the Great cafe.
"I-yes sir."
"Clean your face and meet Diki." he said kindly.
"I'm sorry sir.." Nadira looked down again, his heart hurt more and more to hear the words of papa Reno is very friendly and soothing while his own biological father snapped at him.
Nadira and Nina head out to the pantry. Nadira was crying there. He was very disappointed in Surya. He knew it was his father because the photos of his parents every night he always looked at.
"Lo the quiet Dir.. Maybe Mr. Surya yelled at you for being shocked at the coffee spill."
Nadira's back trembled violently making Nina rub him to calm down. Nadira turned her body to look at Nina. "He bokap me Na.. I don't know Na."
Nina was aghast to hear her being pityed with Nadira. He held his best friend to try to calm him down.
"Nadira.. You better go home today and come tomorrow as usual. The boss will see you tomorrow." Diki's word makes Nadira sobbing even more.
...****...
Nadira obeyed Pak Diki's order to go home. His face was tangled with no taste for doing anything. At the door of Qenan's apartment he was still pensive. Even pressing the password of the apartment he had to repeat it several times because he was not focused.
Entering the room opened the closet and he took a small box containing a necklace with a red pendant. Behind the pendant is a photo of Papa Surya and Mama Jasmine with a little belly of a bungit containing her.
"Ma.. Dira met papa." The tears came back.
"Papa doesn't know Dira ma.. Why look for papa if you were also left behind?"
"May Dira hate papa?"
...****...
In the workspace of the Great cafe owner.
"Why did you get that?" ask papa Surya.
"She looks like Melati Ren.."
Papa Reno sighed. He knew Surya's love story before he married his current wife.
"Your feelings" actually he also felt it earlier so he was not angry at Nadira.
Papa Surya shook his head. "No, Ren, don't you see his eyes? If I could find Melati.."
"Don't you have any more leads?"
"No, the last time I asked permission to marry again" he said.
He regretted his actions, should after he got permission from Mama Melati often visit him but nothing he did.
Papa Surya regrets his presence e3 months after remarrying.
"If you were honest with your parents if you were married then you would still be together."
Papa Surya is down. "At first I was fascinated with my wife now but after the fact was exposed, my heart grew sicker and felt guilty for Melati" explained Papa Surya.
"It's too late Sur, maybe Melati has forgotten all this" said papa Reno trying to calm papa Surya.
"No Ren, Melati is a gentle woman and very loyal to me. He can do anything for my happiness. If I hadn't kept our wedding a secret.."
The two of them fell silent thinking about what happened to Melati. Papa Reno had also helped search but there was no trace of Melati at all.
