Aisyah turned off her phone. He just received a call from Nuri.
Today Nuri apparently could not catch up with him to the hotel, because there was an impromptu task from the lecturer.
Aisyah stared at the collision of shopping bags on her mattress. He had gone for a walk, accompanying his mother shopping. Yep... Of course, Aisyah also must be shopping for some items.
Aisyah bought several pieces of clothes, skirts, and hijabs. Also a pair of slippers, and a pair of Nikee sneakers. Just so happened, in his dept. store again promo, massive discount. Of course Aisyah did not miss that opportunity. Rarely, can the opportunity to buy branded products at a relatively affordable price.
"Klings!" A whatsapp message came in on Aisyah's phone.
Aisyah opened her phone, and stared at the name of the sender listed on her screen. "William...?" Aisyah furrowed her brows, then opened her whatsapp message.
William : [ Hi Ayesha. Assalamualaikum.]
Aisha sent a reply message to William.
Aisha : [ Walaikumsalam. ]
William: [Are you still in your room? ]
William: [I mean, in room 313 ]
Why would William ask that? Ask me if I'm still in room 313? Don't William have any evil intentions for me? He's staying in front of my room. Our bedroom door is facing.
Aisyah suddenly had a bad prejudice against William. He walked up the tiptoe, towards the door, making sure it was locked properly. He then peeked out, through the peephole in the door.
There's nobody outside. The door to room 314, occupied by William, also appears to be tightly shut.
Abaghfirullahaladzim apos... What's wrong with me? Why am I suddenly suudzonous to William?
Aisyah sat back on the bed, then grabbed her phone that she had just put down. He then replied to his message.
Aisha : [ Yes. I'm still staying here. ]
Aisha: [Why ask? ]
William : [ No. Only, I'm still staying in room 314. ]
Aisha : [Oh. Apparently so. Your business with the client is not finished yet, huh...? ]
William : [Already. It's just, I still feel comfortable in this hotel. Take a break from the office routine. ]
Aisha : [ Oh... If so, happy break William. ]

William was stunned as he stared at the screen of his phone. Again he scratched his head which was not itchy.
He was increasingly confused, and felt he did not find the right way to connect with Aisyah.
For a moment he thought, then he decided to call Aisyah.
"Tuuute... Tuout... Tush." Three times I heard a wait.
Hm... It seems he won't pick up my phone.
"Click!" Phone's up.
"Assynoltom..." I heard the voice of Aisha.
"Goddessalam..." William's countenance turned bright upon hearing Aisyah's voice.
"Why Will?"
"Eh, man,.. Anu. I think you won't pick up my phone." William's starting to screw up.
"Here, I picked up, right? What's up?"
"There's a cafe on the rooftop of this hotel. Maybe you'd like to have dinner with me there?" Ask William expectantly.
"No. I can't."
"Why?" William sat on the sofa, his spirit melted instantly.
"I'll eat with my mom and dad."
"Ooh, yeah. I get it."
"Is there anything else you want to ask?"
"Hm... That's..." William was confused himself. He still wanted to speak and hear Ayesha's voice. But he doesn't know what else to say. "nothing. All right, thanks Ayesha."
"Take care? Thanks for what?"
"Thank you for picking up the phone from me."
"Oh... Certainly. Goodbye, Will. Assalamualikum."
"Goddessalam Aisha..." Call interrupted.
"Aaaaarrrggghhh...!!" William threw his body on the mattress with a recumbent position.
William looked at the ceiling of the room, and returned to thinking.
A place he had booked specifically on top of the hotel rooftoop, it seemed futile. Aisha doesn't want to have dinner with him.
William glanced at the bouquet of roses he had placed on the table.
Hm... I think I should use another plan.
***
After praying, Aisyah and her mother went out of the room and headed to the restaurant for dinner.
Aisha and her mother ordered food.
Aisyah ordered seafood fried rice, while her mother ordered the top brand menu at the restaurant, which is roasted duck barbeque sauce. Not to forget also the salad, and two glasses of lemon juice.
"Mom, why haven't you come yet?"
"Say, the meeting continued into the night."
"Until what time?"
"Yo ndak tau ndok... His name must be late to his home."
"If so, I slept with Aishy... In Aishy's room..."
"Yo wes, I'm sleeping in Aishy's room tonight."
Their food order arrived, Aisyah and her mother started to eat dinner.
"Woe.. It's so good, cobain." Bu Wijaya took the grilled duck meat and fed it to Aisyah's mouth.
"Hm... Yes ma'am. So yummy. Pantesan is the top brand menu at this restaurant."
"Mother order one more huh??"
"Make dad?"
"Make us both. Just make me later if he comes. Can be delivered to the room. If ordered now, then the food will be cold, not good."
"All right, it's up to me."
Bu Wijaya also called pelatan, and ordered another portion of the barbeque roasted duck menu.
The mother and son ate their dinner while talking. It looks very familiar between the two of them. Several times Bu Wijaya was seen feeding food into Aisyah's mouth.
After they finished eating, they went to the cashier's table to pay for the meal.
"Table number 5. How much everything?" Ask Bu Wijaya to his cashier.
"Tell number 5, ma'am..." The cashier took a note sheet of the order menu. "Oh, table number 5 has already paid for the meal." Say that cashier then.
"Have you paid?" Bu Wijaya asked in wonder.
Hearing this, Aisyah asked her cashier, "Who paid for it?"
"So the customer at table number 11 paid for it, ma'am." Say that cashier.
Aisyah turned her head and looked for table number 11. But the table was empty. On the table, there was still a dish of food and a glass that had not been cleaned by the waiter.
Hm... Who paid for my food? You can't have any friends or acquaintances here. There is only one name that can do it. William. Yeah, William must have paid for my food.
Aisha and her mother returned to her room. To Aisyah's room.
"Sopo yo nduk, who paid for our food?" Bu Wijaya still felt the proposal, about who paid the food order.
"Come on, Mom..." Aisha could not be sure.
"Emange, do you have any acquaintances or friends at this hotel?"
"Don't have Mom, wong Aishy has just come here, how would you like to have an acquaintance here?"
"So who paid for our order? I'm here this once too."
"There really is Ma'am, Aisyah's friend who lives here too, but don't know, she or not who has paid for our food earlier."
"Lha iyo, if your friend is supposed to hit us huh... Or maybe you have a secret admirer?"
"choose... This mother. Start off, bring a flying fish soap opera. Hi hi hi..."
Aisyah laughed at her mother, because it was so into the room, her mother immediately turned on the tv and played the channel with a flying fish logo, which was airing her favorite soap opera.
