The days went on as usual, Padli's relationship with
Inna is getting better, Inna already looks more relaxed to chat with
Padlis. If yesterday, do not talk, look at Padli alone
no, this sometimes makes Padli offended, fortunately now it is
not again. Hehe... Abah began to rarely be in the stalls, mostly at home.
One day Wak Kocu (call of terms by which name
actually is Ucok and turned into Kocu) one of the shop customers
invite Padli to play chess, because the situation again deserted Padli serve
that invitation. They played one round (1 game), and after
half an hour of play Padli won by a landslide. Wak Kocu is curious and
invite Padli to play again, but subtly Padli refused because there was
some customers entered the shop.
In the afternoon Wak Kocu came again, he saw Padli was
busy washing dishes, and the condition of the stall is quite crowded, “not going to be able to
Padli invited to play”, he said in his heart. Wak Kocu finally came home
so Padli played chess.
The next day, when it was noon, Wak Kocu came again
and invited Padli to play chess. The condition of the stall coincidentally is indeed quiet again,
so there was no reason for Padli to reject the invitation. They compete
again, and again Padli won. Wak Kocu started grumbling, and
said that he was again less healthy, while telling Padli to
fight again later.
Padli scratched his head, while saying “Iya Wak, but
tomorrow I play it again”.
Inna saw it, but fortunately she just kept quiet to see things
that's.
It has been 5 days Wak Kocu always come during the day invites
Padli played chess, and Padli always won, without losing even once.
On the 6th day, Wak Kocu came with the Mandor bang, bang
The foreman was the foreman on his boat Mr. Erik, he served as the supervisor
ship and also the recipient of the deposit of the rental of the ship. Padli knows bang Mandor, though,
because bang Mandor occasionally comes for coffee at the Abah stall. Bang Mandore
calling Abah to Abang, because they still have a brotherly relationship. And
again the age of the Mandor bang is also quite old, about 50 years, but
his appearance was dapper and his face was fierce.
Bang Mandor came in and immediately exclaimed, “mana si Padli”,
let me finish him now. Without
he sat down and picked up the chessboard in the corner, temporarily
that Wak Kocu helped to compile the fruit.
Padli had to serve him, let alone see Abah only
just shush. They sat facing each other, Padli got white fruit and of course
he's the one who started the first path. This match took about 45
minutes, and during that time the customers no one dared to bother him, he said,
this means that no one has ordered a drink.
Padli won, and bang Mandor only commented, “awar, right
new first”. Hehe... “Assalamualaikum Bang” said with Abah before leaving
leave warung. Wak Kocupun. “Waalaikum Salam”, replied Abah
curt. And since then bang Mandor never again invite him to play
chess. People started to have different views about Padli. Bang
Mandor is quite famous as a chess hero in this village.
Padli since childhood is a hobby of playing chess, even he
nya. When High School he once got the 3rd National level champion for the category
Amateur, and a general champion at the University where he attended. After college
and his father died, he never played chess again, this
because he inherited his father's companies, and he tried
hard to advance those companies, so there is no time
just to play chess.
Once, on that day, Mak Lena and Inna did not come
to warung. Only Abah came, and immediately sat at the cashier's table. “Pad, Pad,
Your mom and Inna went to the district, so today you're alone
aja yes who serves customers”, said Abah. Yes Bah, “when they are
rumah”?, asked Padli. “Not long time, at most ntar afternoon also have come home”,
answer Abah.
That day was hell for Padli, damn again, the customer
also a lot of it. From morning to afternoon work Padli ngak
dotted. Cooking, making drinks, washing dishes, making condiments, even
Mr. Erik ordered a lot of drinks and asked to be delivered to the boat court,
I heard that a guest came from out of town.
Padli makes fried rice with shrimp sauce
eaten with Abah.
He didn't put all his dishes on the table,
instead of putting all the rice and side dishes according to the portion into a plate
and serve it directly to the cashier table Abah, do not forget a glass of bitter tea
which has a lid on the side. They ate each other, Abah
at the cashier table while Padli mojok on the couch and leaning against the wall
while looking out.
After lunch, Abah speaks to Padli, “Pad, and,
I think you're used to working here ya”. If Abah Iklas' soul mate
hand this shop to you. Isdeg.. Padli was confused as Abah meant, though,
whether this is just a stall problem or something to do with Inna yes, there is
his soul mate's words yes. “Eh, Bah, Trus Abah would like to say that this shop
submitted ama Padli”? ask Padli. “It's old, and it's getting longer
Abah dah can no longer take care of this shop. Your mother is also tired
take care”, replied Abah. You don't have to worry, gini-gini Abah ngak
lack of kok, Abah's needs are also small, anyways Abah can still donate from
Foundation, and Andi also every month always send Abah money, said
Abah again. “But Bah, if Padli is alone, I don't think he can
ngurusin warung ini”, said Padli. He realized, that taking care of the stall is not the same
simple as it looks, there is still a lot to do again, he thought
in heart. “Well, don't be alone, look forward to your partner being able to
help her”, Abah said again with a smile.
That night, Padli was still thinking about Abah's words
this afternoon, he was afraid of being wrong in responding to the meaning of Abah's words.
Plus during this day he also has not met at all with the si
Inna, apparently Mak Lena and Inna went straight home after the accident
without stopping to the shop. Staring at Inna became a mandatory routine for
Padlis. “Entah why, his feelings are so missed like this ya”, he thought deeply
hearts. He smiled, and felt too Baper (brought feelings).
Come on, I better start doing business
office first. Soon after, Padli began to look engrossed with his phone,
sometimes calling here.
