After letting go of the longing accompanied by the cries of each other, Danu and the Eagle seemed inseparable in the least. Although at first they were a little awkward due to this unexpected encounter, but the blood ties between the two were beyond doubt. They can melt the atmosphere with an endless variety of topics to cover. Abby herself just silently watched and occasionally chimed in if one of them carried her name in conversation.
And now, they're somewhere else. Half an hour ago, Abby brought the two out of the foundation. In addition to wanting to give them a longer time to chat, Abby also wants Danu to feel the atmosphere outside the place only inhabited by the parents. Danu must be feeling bored and bored there.
They entered a large restaurant that served local dishes. The situation inside was quite crowded because this was already in the lunch hour, but they could still get an empty chair located at the very side, close to the glass wall. It seems, this restaurant is intended for the upper middle class when viewed from the luxurious interior and excellent service.
A young man in his raincoat came to them, "welcome, Miss Abbysca and Gentlemen. It's an honor for us because you're willing to visit a place not so much. Introduce, I am the manager in this place who will serve you all directly."
Abby blinked confused, feeling a little overwhelming because this person recognized her. Is his face no longer unfamiliar among the public? the woman was also staring around, some restaurant visitors were seen staring curiously at her.
"Just calm down, Miss. We always strive to maintain the privacy of visitors, they will not dare to take your photos if you do not allow. Or do you want a VIP seat?" the man felt like Abby was in discomfort.
The woman shook her head, "no need, here is enough. I want to order all the recommended menus here. Three servings each with his best drink." Abby is not very familiar with the type and name of the food in this city. But his tongue is now used to tasting them.
The manager smiled broadly with a sparkling face. The thing he always hoped for when he found visitors from the upper class who were not fussy. "It is with pleasure, Miss. Please wait for the next twenty minutes because we are always serving new and warm food."
"Yes, please. Thanks."
The young man slightly lowered his head before leaving there with a smile that did not disappear.
"Abby, I just realized that I've been friends with a celebrity all this time." Canda Eagle with a slightly scornful face.
Abby herself just shook her head softly, "they're just overkill." Her net was staring at Danu who was watching the highway which was so clearly visible from the glass wall. "Grandfather happy?" This might just be Danu's first experience, clearly visible from the look of awe and happy twinkle emanated on his wrinkled face.
Danu smiled slightly in embarrassment, "thank you, Miss. I've never been to a place like this before." The man chimed in with a twitch, but the Eagle who heard him felt filled and stifled.
"Sorry, Grandpa. The eagle found grandpa late." If it wasn't for Abby's help, they probably wouldn't have met at any time.
"No, it's not your fault. It's God's rule, Eagle." His eyes were so shady as he stared at the Eagle and Abby alternately, "all thanks to Miss Abbysca and Mr. Arjuna. They brought Grandpa out of poverty and incompetence. They gave Grandpa a more decent life. As if it wasn't enough, they could even bring Grandpa together with you. Grandpa was so grateful for that." Danu's eyes glazed back, looking at Abby with a grateful look. Because he doesn't know how to repay their kindness other than to say a sincere thank you.
The eagle looked at Abby with the same look, "yes, Abby. Thank you very much for your kindness and also Mr. Arjuna. You guys are the ones who are heartened." It is rare for Eagles to encounter humans from the upper class who want to help those who are weak and unable, let alone this jump directly. And they do it not for an image, but for humanity.
Abby waved in front of her face, "not like that. I did all this because your grandfather helped me first, his services are so great. I just want to give my best to my helper, that's all." Abby doesn't feel that good. For a long time, the principle has not changed. He will be kind to those who behave similarly to him. Even if he could pity someone who was being bad at him, then it was nothing more than a little bit of his humanity.
"Thank you, Miss. You are a good man." Danu instead praised her even more, making the woman could not give any more explanation than a thin smile on her lips.
The new eagle will speak again, but the arrival of two servants who brought their orders came, making him again shut his mouth.
"Good day, this is the menu we recommend to you." An early twenty-year-old woman kept a dozen containers consisting of bowls and plates onto their table. "Sweet roasted chicken, sweet sour shrimp, seasoned flour squid, beef rendang, fresh seasoned fried fish, kale chops, rib soup and fried noodles." Abby refrained from gaping when she saw the amount of food brought to them. Are they not wrong? this much food, will it run out by three people? the man who claimed to be the manager earlier must have been joking.
"Good fun."
"Thank you."
The three fell silent after the two maids left with empty trolleys that they had stored on the table. Abby blinked a few times as she looked at Danu and the Eagle who had the same dumbstruck expression. It seems they have thoughts that are not much different from Abby.
"Emm.let's eat!" Abby allows both of them to take the food they want. Afterwards, the woman took a nearby dish and kept it on her empty plate, "yes, I hope we don't have excess fat after eating it later."
The eagle served Danu first, he asked what his grandfather wanted to eat. And fortunately, even though Danu is no longer young, her teeth are still healthy and strong. Making Abby secretly thank you in her heart for her guilt. He should have asked them before ordering.
"Sorry, I didn't ask what Grandpa Danu wanted to eat earlier." The woman grimaced a little.
Danu shook her head, "I eat everything, Miss. Thanks."
"Just relax, Abby. I'll spend it later." Canda Eagle.
Afterwards, they had lunch in a warm and pleasant atmosphere. Occasionally, Danu and Eagle will engage in exciting conversations as if the two are indeed often met and inseparable by the time so far.
Abby chews her food in silence with her eyes staring around, only to see the different kinds of people who are also eating food like her . However, the clear netra was slightly rounded when it found a very familiar figure standing at the service of the visitor who was right beside it.
Isn't that Lilyana? what is his former friend doing here? but if you look at the clothes he was wearing and also the things he did, Abby can slightly guess that the woman worked here. He should have rarely seen her. In addition to enjoying their midterm break, Abby has rarely seen it lately.
"Oh, wasn't that the friend you helped back then?" The eagle stared at what Abby noticed.
"Abbysca."
Lilyana's mouth movements can be heard even without a sound though.
. . .
And this is where Abby is now, sitting with Lilyana in a small garden located next to the restaurant. The eagle had gone home first with Danu about twenty minutes ago, by the way the man also wrapped their food that was not finished at the table earlier. Darling said.
"You've been working here a long time?" Abby slightly glanced at Lilyana from the corner of her eyes. The shoulder-haired woman looked fresher even with her maid uniform. The bruises and wounds on his face had healed completely. Secretly Abby felt calm in her heart.
Lilyana shook her head, "one week after my mother went to jail, I immediately looked for a job. And fortunately, this place was opening a vacancy at the time." There was neither a look of sadness nor a faint radiance on her face that only polished the thin makeup. Lilyana is not like talking about the mother who must be fertilized because of her evil behavior.
"You look pretty happy." Abby didn't know how to express the thing she thought of Lilyana, so it was just that sentence that came out of her mouth.
Lilyana slightly chuckled, "I feel like I can breathe well now. Although I'm also sad and pretty lost, but this is the best for me and mom."
Abby can pretty much understand how Lilyana feels right now. All this time, the woman's life has always been restrained. Prosecuted to do this and that, until Liliyana forgot her own identity. Worse, the woman who became the mother of Lilyana was not reluctant to plunge her own child in the pit of misery. Who would want to sell self-esteem even for a pile of money?
"You're taking a leave of absence?" abby's question refers to Lilyana whom she rarely sees while on campus. Usually they will cross paths, whether it is in the cafeteria or in the corridor.
"I'm not taking regular classes anymore. Too bad I can't bother you anymore." Lilyana's words instantly got a bored snort from Abby.
"Yes, what a pity. I haven't avenged your actions to me." Abby did not seriously utter it, but it seemed like Lilyana was responding with another. The woman's face was immediately shocked, as if it had just been made aware by something.
"I'm sorry, Abby. I'm outrageous, but you still want to extend a hand for me." Lilyana said softly as she looked at her two hands that were clinging to her lap.
Abby didn't mean it that way, but she was also lazy to explain. So, he just kept silent with his eyes staring at the street. A densely crawling vehicle that is side by side with road users who step on the sidewalk.
The woman's forehead shriveled slightly as she looked at the few shabby-clothed little children who were peddling their wares at anyone passing by in plain sight. On the other side of the sidewalk, a man of forty was pushing a cart similar to Danu's. But what distinguishes it is, there is a child who laughs gleefully in it. Their clothes were no different from those singing by the roadside with their little guitars. They are clearly struggling to find a little rupiah in the midst of the cruel capital.
What a lame sight when compared to the high-rise buildings around them, even with luxury vehicles passing in front of them. Isn't this a little outrageous? it turns out that in the world that he is stepping on this welfare only belongs to those who 'bear' alone. Not much different from the world he was in. When will social equality be established?
Can Abby do something for them?
"Lilyana.." call Abby slowly.
"Yes?"
"Who is the owner of the restaurant you work at?"
Lilyana was silent for a while as if thinking, but she soon answered. "Isn't this restaurant one of Aditama's family's assets?"
Abby was obviously surprised, "what?"
"Although it's not your fiancee who handles it directly, but the owner is still her." Lilyana paused her words when she saw Abby who was silent with a dumb face, "what is wrong with you? I thought you ate here knowing that this restaurant belonged to Mr. Sagara, considering you were so crazy about chasing him back then."
Abby blinked her eyes several times, trying to relieve the pain that suddenly hit her head.
Why does everything he does have anything to do with Gara? isn't this a little silly?
