Dennis's surprised. The visitor was Dera. He cut his hair short so Dennis didn't recognize it from behind.
Dera was no less surprised. He didn't recognize Dennis's voice because Dennis was coughing and his voice was a little hoarse.
So surprised they looked at each other speechlessly.
"Wheel.." Sapa Dennis after managing to control the atmosphere.
"Dennis" replied Dera still a little nervous.
"I don't recognize you from behind because your hair is short"
Dera smiled too.
"If you don't have any business, I'll have a chat with you first" Dennis said.
"May" said Dera.
"Oh yes mas please change clothes according to the wishes of this customer. I'll be in charge" Dennis told the store employee.
"Good sir" said the employee who then took the clothes in Dera's hands and changed them according to the size that Dera wanted.
They also went to a cafe. After they chose a place and sat down, the waiter immediately came to offer a menu list.
"What do you want to order?" Ask Dennis.
"I ordered a drink. I just ate with friends."
"alright. Then 2 apple juice equals 2 chocolate cake huh" Dennis told the cafe waiter.
"Cook for 2 apple juices?" ask Dera.
"Do you like apple juice?" Answer Dennis.
"Yes, but you like orange juice"
"You're getting prettier after a few months of not meeting. That's why I didn't know you. But it looks like you're a little bit thin" Dennis said.
"Yes. That's why I cut my hair short because let my cheeks look full" said Dera with a sweet smile.
Dennis' heart was racing seeing Dera smile. It was like the first time he had seen such a sweet smile
"You want to be fat or thin to be beautiful" said Dennis. Back Dera's face flushed.
"If the business of dreadlocks you are the champion." Dera said while pinching Dennis' arm. "But you're getting better looking too. More authoritative." Dera.
Well, Dera admitted, Dennis is getting good-looking. Every moment his handsome face was always dancing in Dera's mind. He was very surprised when he faced Dennis, the handsome man he always missed was suddenly in front of him.
Shortly thereafter the waiter came to take their order. Both Dennis and Dera immediately tasted the order.
"What are your legs? is it fully recovered?" Dera asked while eating chocolate cake.
"Alhamdulillah already" replied Dennis then stopped and looked at Dera.
"Where do you know that my legs hurt?" Ask. Dera looks nervous
"That's what I know from..."
"Don't tell me you've been back from home all this time" Dennis cut out Dera's conversation.
Dera sighed.
"alright. I'll be honest. The reason why I'm thinner than before, is because I'm working now. And I work at the hospital you're in." Obviously Dera. Dennis was very surprised to hear that explanation. Then Dera explained all the secrets he had been hiding. He felt for now there was no point in hiding that from Dennis.
"So my premonition all this time about you was right?" Dera nodded.
Unknowingly Dera's tears were dripping.
"Sorry Den, I didn't mean to lie to you. But that's how I can always support you. I can't just let you go without doing anything when I know you're in trouble. Hopefully you can understand my position" explained Dera while sobbing.
