Beautiful, How is Minder?

convictions

Nindi couldn't stand it, she was already eager to meet her heart. His smile continued to be drawn on his shady face.

She was already beautiful with her simple appearance. Blue jeans with sleeveless pink shirts, combined with knit cerdigan so as not to get cold on the go.

"Mbak Nindi why smile for yourself?" tanya Rafa, Nindi's younger brother who is still in elementary school.

"Happy dong, you want to go home" replied Nindi.

Nindi and her family are waiting for a travel car to pick her up.

Tin... Tin...

The car is coming, soon father, mother, Nindi and her sister get ready. They walked out of the house with each other's luggage.

"Bas mbak Nindi really big?" ask Rafa.

"But lightly this deck, because the contents of the food, hehehe" said Nindi accompanied by his boisterous laughter.

"Assyik dong mbak, later I divided ya" with a look of compassion, Rafa asked Nindi to agree.

"Definitely dong" said Nindi briefly.

"Let's go" asked the father.

The Nindi family was the last to be picked up, so after this they would make a long journey.

An hour's drive, condition is still ok. With a mouth that did not stop chewing, Nindi and Rafa continued to joke.

"Why did you leave on Thursday, Dad? Is the show Saturday?" ask Rafa.

"Yes, there is a long process before the wedding day. We also rarely gather large families, so yes all get together and mbiodo (crews/helps for female families) or nyinoman (crews/helps for male families)" Nindi explained.

"You are also Nin, later if you want marriage the process is also long and tiring. You should get ready" said a brother sitting in the back.

Nindi only blushed in embarrassment, "Still long budhe, Nindi still wants to graduate High School, continue to college, continue to work. It's a long one" said Nindi.

"Hem, the wadon of saiki era is the heart of career wong" (Hem, girls today still want to be career women)" said the person again.

Others just respond with laughter. Their families are warm and bonded. Especially if there is already this kind of wedding celebration.

It must be the far one, the close one.

Four hours away, their group got off at the rest area. They are welcome to lunch and dhuhur prayer.

After that, the journey continues until it reaches its destination. If there are no obstacles, later after Maghrib they will arrive.

In the rest of the trip, Nindi chose to sleep while listening to music from her phone.

Waiting with a flowering heart turns out to be quite draining of energy. The overflowing power of happiness made Nindi tired immediately, she already had no strength to open her eyes.

"Try now you're clear on me, Ra. Who's the guy who likes calling you elo lately?" no longer able to escape.

Aish was alone with Richard this afternoon, at the rooftop cafe. They were having lunch before the shift.

"Ehm, how do you say it. You know, he said it was a secret, Richard. I can't talk to anyone" said Aish, there's no good reason to avoid it.

"Torck?" asked Richard briefly.

"Girl, really" replied Aish.

"Who? I know?" ask Richard again.

"Know, know him well. But, how is it. I'm afraid he's angry" Aish said worriedly.

Luckily Aish's phone rang, a call came in from Falen.

Aish's smile grew pretty before raising her call, whereas Richard's clucking didn't like.

"Assynthet, Fal. Why?"

aish asked, sounding like a noisy vehicle from Falen's place.

"Vaalaikumsalam. You're at the cafe, right, princess? I must go there" Falen said after answering his greetings.

"There dong, already stand by this. Here alone?" ask Aish, who knows Falen with Seno and Hendra.

"Two, but the same Indira. He said he liked the cake he bought" Falen replied.

"Oh, okay. I wait" Aish said unsuspectingly.

"Ok, my best princess. Assalamualaikum" Falen said a greeting before closing the call.

"Waalaikumsalam" soon Aish back in his cell phone pocket.

"Brian?" ask Richard.

"Yes, come here with Indira. I'm going down first, Richard. Soon change shifts, later Yopi gets angry" said Aish who realized that Yopi was still his boss at the cafe.

"Gue fired that he was angry at you" Richard said.

"Lo still hasn't told me about the girl. Don't dodge anymore" annoyed Richard who always got a reason for Aish to run away.

"We talked about it outside the cafe, yes, because it's really a secret. Patience yes, I will tell you the same lo" Aish was ready to go down, tidying the table he had just occupied.

"Later if Falen comes, you meet him even if only for a moment. You have made peace" said Aish, wooing Rich with a spoiled voice and smile.

"Geli I see you. Yes, I'll come down. I'll just chatt him if he comes" replied Richard.

Actually he did not like when he heard there was Indira who also wanted to come.

"Ish, you're nyebelin. Yehudah deh, I go down first yes" said Aish who soon passed away.

After the shift change, Santi happened to be the one who entered the morning. His cynical look was still visible on Aish who this time was not too late.

"Tumben's on time, Aish?" santi asked, deliberately asking in front of everyone.

Yopi slightly raised her eyebrows hearing the question.

"Yes dong, am I diligent" Aish replied with a smile.

Inspiration contracted that smile and raised both of his thumbs.

"Cooking? A week at least twice to join the shift change briefing. That's what you call diligent?" santi asked with an irritating look on her face.

"He's never late, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't do the brifing. I always infoin the same as him before" said Yopi mediate the problem, not want his employees to disagree.

"Enak dong kak, not scolded" said Santi still not received.

"Not good, so he. Do you want to try?" ask Yopi who feels lucky.

"Tuh, you ask me the same Inspiration of difficult school while working. He is the most neutral here" Yopi said.

"Beuh, so tired of Santi's tea. Do you want to try? I don't have a nap, I don't have any rest all day. Assessment only through doang for school fees and meals" Ilham even confided in a funny body gesture.

"Makanya Yop, raise dong's salary" said Ilham who made everyone laugh, he could have melted the atmosphere.

"Tell yourself the same Richard" said Yopi, making Ilham raise both hands. Implies if he doesn't dare.

"Oh, let's work yok! Spirit, may the visitors of this heart more and more" Yopi prayer at the end of his briefing.

Indicates my time at work has arrived. They all split up after praying together. Towards their respective places.

When he came out of the kitchen, Aish was ready with a notebook in her hand.

"Princess, I'm here" Falen waved his hand as soon as he saw Aish.

"It's been a while?" ask Aish, always with her pretty smile.

"Yes he's working, Fal. It's not even polite that he's sitting here" Indira said, observing Aish's performance from head to toe.

Feeling uneasy, Aish could only smile. "Yes, you're right, Indira. What do you want to order?" aish asked trying as much as possible.

Falen looked at Indira sharply, not liking to hear her words. After all, Aish still held the position of princess in the hearts of her retainers.

"Fal, what do you want to order?" tanya Aish patted Falen's shoulder gently, grinding if she was okay.

"So soon, princess. I'll see" said Falen. Aish nodded and still faithfully stood next to them.

Richard knew all that, in his heart he was very sorry for Falen's attitude that could not be firm on Indira.

Feeling unacceptable, Richard approached Aish who was still standing waiting for the two humans who were choosing the menu.

Embracing his shoulders after being close, Richard stared intently at the two creatures he considered to be brash.

"Cocon't you here? I haven't chatted yet" said Aish, a little surprised.

Falen looked up, looking at Richard who always displayed a hostile face to him. Indira is already showing her best smile.

"Gue is the same, Ra. I can understand if you are sad again, not just mouth doang" Richard said.

Falen felt like she had failed to protect her princess this time. He can only duck.

"So what message?" aish asked, not liking the cold war conditions between Richard and Falen.

Aish records each of their orders carefully, then reads them again before going to the kitchen to forward the order to the kitchen.

Richard also wanted to leave, but Indira's voice was heard preventing him.

"Richard, I hear you're a good singer huh?" ask Indira.

"It's normal" Richard answered briefly.

"Singing with me yuk" Indira stood up, pulling Richard's hand towards the stage that happened to be empty.

Falen could only be silent, not even Indira saying goodbye to him. He looked at the two who passed near the stage.

Actually Richard did not like it, but to reject it, he was worried that Indira would be satisfied from his social media. He was worried that his cafe visitors would decline.

"What song do we do?" asked Indira who looked very excited.

"As far as you are" Richard's short answer made Indira a little unhappy.

Richard got ready with his guitar, sitting on an available chair with a standing mick in front of him.

"A song by Vidi Aldiano, titled Can't be together" said Indira who suddenly decided on his choice of song.

Richard was a little stunned, but already announced. He also moved position in front of the organ, because the song is more suitable accompanied by an organ than a guitar.

"Where's Indira?" aish asked who found Falen just sitting by himself as he delivered their order.

Falen simply pointed at Indira's existence with his chin. Aish turned his head, seeing Indira going to duet with Richard.

Aish sat next to Falen, now he could still smile.

The chanting sounds of Richard and Indira reached his ears. Aish became dissolved in every verse they chanted.

"I'm so sad, aren't I, Fal?" muttered Aish, her eyes were heating up. Like it's gonna cry.

Falen turned his head, embracing Aish's shoulder fondly.

"Lo is that dear to you, is it Richard?" asked Falen who did not get any response from her princess who looked down.

Realizing that his eyes had runny, Aish did not dare to look at Falen. His fingers were busy wiping away the trace of his tears.

"Don't be sad, princess. I'm sure Richard loves you too" Falen said.

They both knew the song represented the state of Aish and Richard this time around.

Aish wiped away all her tears, looking up with a forced smile. "Gue's okay, Fal. Go ahead, besides there are lo, Seno, and Hendra who still want to reach me if I get upset" said Aish who laughed while crying.

Falen could not bear to see it, especially Richard's voice also sounded very fond of the song.

Falen so condemned Indira's unplanned behavior.

In fact, it's all Indira has planned well. The girl to find out Richard's biodata from her friends who one school with Richard.

From the stage, Richard sharpened his eyes observing Aish and Falen's behavior. Richard knew Aish was crying, and that's why.

"The spirit of dong princess, love makes you so soft it turns out" Falen teased, he just did not want Aish too sad.

"Yes, passion. I can't be weak, Fal. I have to be strong, even though I will live everything myself, but I still have you guys who will always be there for me, right?" said Aish who had re-emerged his smile.

Falen embraces affection on the shoulders of his best friend. He hadn't done that in a long time, remembering his old habit of always embracing Aish's shoulders wherever they walked together.

"Gue love you, princess. Do not be sad again, yes" Falen said after releasing his embrace.

Aish nodded, Falen took the initiative to make a video call with his other two friends. But only Hendra received the call.

Seno is definitely busy filming. There is a new direction from the management for him, Seno is expanding his wings by issuing a single after the video went viral while singing the song count on me with the retainer for his princess a while ago.

Aish was a little forgotten by her sadness just now, the two of them were unaware when Richard and Indira had already approached their table.

"Yes, Mahendra. I want to continue my work, the boss is fierce" Aish giggled as he glanced at Richard standing nearby.

"Okay, the spirit of my Princess. Long life for you, ganbatte" said Hendra who made Aish laugh again.

Falen turned off his phone, and put it on the table.

"Gue go there first, Fal. You have fun, if you want to sing, too, right Richard?" Aish asks for her boyfriend's support.

Richard just nodded, then took Aish's hand to leave Falen's desk immediately, he was already very sick of seeing Indira who just kept seeing him with a smile.

Slightly hasty due to the pull on his hand, Aish still had time to wave his hand to Falen with his other hand who was also holding a tray.

"I'm sorry, Ra" suddenly Richard said strangely, they stopped at the kitchen door.

Aish frowned, astonished by the behavior of her boyfriend.

"Lo's weird, why suddenly apologize?" ask Aish.

"Lo must believe me if I will always try to make your defense next to me. I will never let go, no matter what the obstacles. You have to believe in this relationship" Richard said this time.

"Gue believes in destiny, Richard. I gave it all the same destiny. Good or bad, that's what I have to do. And so far, thank God I can still survive despite being left behind by all my family" said Aish did not make Richard relieved.

"And even for this relationship, I share God, the same God. I'm sure whatever it is later, that's what's best for me" Aish passed away after saying it.

In the kitchen, he passed by Ilham who looked at him with a glare. As if feeling sorry.

"Don't pity me, Ham. We are both pitiful" said Aish, who had lost a tear, and was soon wiped out.

"Then from that, Shay. We have to be passionate, we prove that we can. I want to be a successful person, yes. For the sake of my mother and my brother" said the inspiration cheering Aish.

"Gue too, Ham. I certainly can even without Richard later" said Aish trying to smile even though his heart was suddenly sad.
