Rico who was in a place very far from Dante also Iqbal did not know the arrival of the three girls. Even Rico did not know that Aisyah was getting closer to him now.

Rico continues to focus on his work, he just wants everything to be in order and he can reopen the Restonya even with a makeshift fund, and maybe the menu will not be complete anymore as before. Yes, it can be said to adjust the pocket than Rico has to look for debt everywhere.

Many times Rico said sweat with the back of his hands blackened, making his face also follow black because of it. But it doesn't matter to Rico he can wash it later after it's done.

Rico undoes his intention to lift the wood again, when he sees someone reaching out and there is a handkerchief he handbag palm.

Rico quickly turned his head and he would definitely see Aisyah who was smiling a little towards him.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Bang." Sapa Aisha.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Rico.

"Hem.. " Aisyah again reached out her hand she intended to give her handkerchief for Rico to wear and could dry her sweat.

It was very desirable for Aisha herself to wipe him but it was not appropriate for her to do so now, perhaps someday if God would allow it.

"What if it gets dirty? And it turns black, it's white, shah! " Rico was very reluctant to take Aisyah's handkerchief, a very white handkerchief that could be black if touched by her hand.

"It's okay, Bang. Just a handkerchief. Dirty can still be washed." Aisyah.

"Really? "

"Yes, Bang." Answer Aisha sure.

"Alright, thank you," Rico took the handkerchief from Aisha's hand but did not touch her hand at all. Rico also knew that they were still forbidden to touch each other.

"Bang Rico hasn't had lunch yet, has he? This is Ayesha bringing provisions for Bang Rico." Aisyah again thrust her hand and now it has changed with a purple stock box and white lid.

"Why bother, Shah. You can eat later, Shah." said Rico.

"No, Bang. No trouble at all."

"Yes already, thank you. We're sitting there.. " Rico's hands show a clean spot and they can sit around.

Before arriving at the place Rico stopped when he arrived in front of the water tap, Rico washed his hands clean and then walked back.

"Sit here." Take Rico after arriving at the long bench that there are two there. Fortunately the bench was outside the Resto so it was still left and did not catch fire as well.

Rico sat on the right end while Aisyah was on the left end, both of them were very far apart despite being in one place.

Slowly Rico opened the box from Aisyah, the supply box that is only from but is divided into two small boxes containing side dishes and one rectangle containing white rice also has two spoons on it.

"You haven't eaten yet?" Ask Rico.

Aisyah turned her head quickly, "Already." The answer.

"Didn't you really intend to eat with me in one container?" Ask Rico again.

Aisyah frowned, how could Rico think that way. He had absolutely no intention of eating in one container with Rico.

"Why can bang Rico conclude like that?" Confused Aisyah.

Rico's hand was raised with the two spoons he held, "There are two spoons here."

"But Ayesha is not..."

"Because there's no way I'm using two spoons at once so I want you to eat too."

"The old man said if we eat using two spoons at once it's like we divide one heart for him people. But if two people share a meal in one container it says their relationship will be eternal, and the same two people who want to be one heart also one thought. Don't you want that? " ask Rico.

"That's superstition, Bang. Don't believe what you think so, the end of the idolaters."

"The words of the old man are like an admonition, Shah. Not that we should believe it either. There's no harm if we respect the advice of our parents."

"But, Bang? "

"I know you're hungry too, Hem.. " Rico thrust out the other spoon for Aisyah while the other for herself.

"Hmmm.. " Aisyah gave a small nod as her hand reached for the lid of the box, "Aisha just put this on." Its effects.

Can't say anymore Rico just sighed resignedly. "All right." Rico lifted the box, picked up the white rice and the side dishes for Aisyah he placed on the white lid.

"Eat a lot of fat! " Chairman Rico.

"Already, Bang. Rico is not full!" Aisyah Protest.

"As long as you are here I will be full, Shah, hehehe... " Speaking Rico connected with a crybaby. "Oh yeah, you're not fasting anymore, are you?"

Aisyah shook her head, her face lowered to hide her flushed cheeks.

"Why? " Task Rico kepo.

"Ayesha.., Ayesha.., Ayesha monthly guest arrival, Bang." Replied Aisha who was really very embarrassed.

"What pain? Mother when the moon came always complained of pain."

"No."

"So, all women are not the same? Thank goodness you're not sick."

"Astaghfirullah.., why am I so overwhelmed by the business of Aisha. Rico.., Rico, you're nothing Aisyah, you shouldn't ask like that. I am ashamed Aisha. Hadeuhwas.. You're so shy, Rico.. " Inner Rico who scolded himself for being so kepo.

"Yuk eat! " said Rico who tried to melt the awkwardness that instantly happened.

From a distance Ari clenched his hands to see the closeness of Aisyah as well as Rico, his heart was so hot to see Aisyah who was Rico's choice and dumped Felisha his favorite daughter.

Ari let out a long sigh, regulating her emotions before she approached Rico. "I should be able to hold everything back, there's a time alone to keep them both away. Now I have to take Rico's heart first." he muttered.

Ari stepped quickly and stopped after arriving in front of Rico as well as Aisyah. "Assalamu'alaikum.., "His greeting.

"Wa'alaikum.. " Reply answer them compactly.

"It looks like I came at an inopportune moment, then I'll just leave. It's not good to bother you both."

"No, Om. Not disturbing at all, "Rico replied. "What's up, Om? What D can Rico help? "

"It's not me who needs help, Ric. But you. Hemm...., now what should Om do for you? You will always be good and always keep Felisha when Om goes, it is not good if Om just shut up when you have problems like this," said Ari.

"Hemm..? How about Om who loves you capital again? So you can quickly build your Resto again, how?."

Aisyah just kept quiet, she just thought if Rico might accept an offer from his father Felisha? Though Aisyah had also offered help yesterday but was rejected by Rico.

"𝘈𝘱𝘢 𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘨 𝘙𝘪𝘤𝘰 𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘯 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘢? "

Thank you Om, but no need Rico still have the funds to restore the Resto as before." replied Rico so polite.

"Please, Rico. Do not refuse help from Om, accept yes! "

"Again thanks, Om. But no need. If one day Rico needs to let Rico himself come to Om's place. " She said.

"Yes, yes, then. Om can't force you either."

Not finished with the conversation Rico and Ari, the place was the arrival of one more person.

"Aisha... " Call him, who else if not Rayyan the Papa.

"Papa.. "
