Loss is not nothing
As Ms. Lisa had planned earlier, the next day Ms. Liya started working at my house as a housekeeper. Sweeping, wiping, washing, and so on related to homework.
Ms. Liya came home when we were about to go to school, while she came home after 12 noon and could have been faster if everything was in order.
There are some things that make me uncomfortable when with Bu Liya, namely he always called me as ‘Pak’. I know he said that just wanted to respect me for helping him, but to be honest I wasn't too comfortable being called that.
After a week, he worked, when he wanted to ask for his salary first. Ms. Liya said that she currently needs money for home purposes, including the needs of the baby.
Kalisa and I looked at each other when I heard him, before smiling and giving the salary to him.
The next day Ms. Liya became more disinclined towards us, she tended to be very polite. Although my wife and I often said to be normal, but she still refused, she said this was used to it.
You know, it's like I'm an office boss that if the boss walks in front of his employees, they'll bow down and respect, just like that's what Ms. Liya did to me.
Put aside about that Bu Liya. At my school now, the end of semester 1 is almost complete, in another context soon the school exam will arrive.
Whether it is any lesson, every day the teacher always has a sentence reminding of the arrival of the final semester exam (UAS).
As said, “Ok children, soon this semester will run out, you must be more active in learning.”
Then the other teacher also once said, “The end of the semester stay counted with fingers, you must learn more!”.
Sometimes the teacher who spoke while half angry, “Can't you guys be more serious! it's the end of the semester! Don't think about playing games!” the disciple who heard him gulped, afraid. We know that teacher is very bad.
Tomorrow my wife will be more limited to me to play games, so I who really like to play games must hide from her.
For example, as now, to hide from my wife, I, who had just returned from school, had to first stop by the convenience store near the complex.
Of course my intention is not to shop there, but just hang out to play games. After I went in to buy drinks and snacks I sat at one of the tables.
A few minutes passed on the sidelines playing games, I had a glance at a girl who was sitting alone in front there, the girl was an officer at the convenience store who a few days ago often talked to me.
The cashier was sitting alone at one of the tables, he seemed to be resting, I can confirm that because there were other employees who were eating.
I saw him alone moving places to be with him.
The cashier gave me a quick glance, then turned his face towards his employee friend who was chatting and joking.
At a good look, the eyes of the cashier's mother look puffy, he seemed to cry. “Halo Mbak, can you sit?” I asked pleasantries while sitting down from earlier.
The cashier's mother nodded, she stared at my high school shirt before finally looking at my face.
“Again rest yes, Mbak?” ask again.
“iya, Mas.” the answer is polite.
I scratched my head, it seemed like every self-service store clerk was always saying such courtesy, even if it was with someone younger than him.
“New home school huh?” tanyanya smiled.
“Eh, yes Ma'am, I just got home and happened to want to stop by here first.”
The cashier nodded his head. “Not get together with others, Ma'am?” ask me umpteenth time.
The cashier smiled thinly. “Again want alone.”
“Oh yes Ma'am, if you know what his name is? If I were Raka.”
“I'm Nina." she replied smilingly.
As we continued to chat at the table, this meeting was actually not our second meeting, rather several times, so there was no awkwardness in chatting.
After some time talking, Nina told me that she is here working while studying, Nina is only third semester now at university, she majored in the field of psychology.
At first, maybe he just wanted to tell about himself, but here and here he even told his own personal problems.
This shift in the topic of conversation confused me, the article we just knew each other and chatted he even directly ventured.
Although somewhat confused by his attitude, I still heard the whole story. Nina tells that she was always away from other employees, that is also the reason why now she is alone and does not come with her employee friends.
I was actually a little pity but my concern was not there but to Nina herself, which I was surprised by was why she told me this.
After finally Nina stopped telling stories, on the other hand I heard her could not give any solution to her problem, but when viewed carefully it seems I do not need to, because he doesn't seem to need that.
I sighed for a moment, turned my eyes towards the parking lot, Suddenly my eyes glared sharply when I realized that there was a car of my wife there.
I was afraid that he caught me playing a game, so I quickly picked up my phone and kept it in my pocket.
Miss Lisa who had been in the parking lot since when she opened the car door slowly. Then he walked out to my desk and Nina, without any cue, pulled the chair beside me and pressed her.
I looked at my wife in wonder, I thought she was going to nag me but it didn't seem like it.
Ms. Lisa without speaking at all clasped my hand in front of Nina, she resuscitated her head on my shoulder, trying to cling more.
Nina on the other hand did not care much about my wife's actions, instead she lightly smiled at Miss Lisa.
“My break is done, then I say Raka, Mbak.” He bowed to me and Miss Lisa took turns.
“See you later.” Reply smile.
Nina nodded, she turned around and went to enter the store. While Bu Lisa who saw Nina's departure looked at her sharply.
“Who the hell is he, Mas?” ask my wife to pout.
“He's name is Nina, cashier employee here.” Reply lightly.
“She's pretty.” murmured slowly.
“Why, Dek?”
"Because, don't play here often!"
“Loh, why?”
“I don't like!” Miss Lisa was singing her lips.
I scratched my head, why did Miss Lisa become like this, she didn't act like she used to.
