Weirdo

Rian parked his car in front of the store owned by Mama. His smile expanded as his net caught someone who was busy serving a customer inside the tavern. Feeling tired after driving alone for hours pays off when you see that face. The man got out of the car, intending to greet the future wife. Rian was still worried, would he tell Sandra about it or not?

“Busy, yes?” rian asked Alice who was now standing next to the cashier's desk.

The woman was surprised by Rian's arrival. However, a faint smile was imprinted on those pink lips.

“Lumayan, today the store is crowded visitors,” replied Alice.

“You look tired, rest when tired,” said Rian wiping the sweat dripping on Alice's forehead, it makes the woman feel a little uncomfortable.

Several pairs of eyes stole a glance at the couple. Alice also felt bad at her co-workers who bit her finger at the affection that Rian had grown up with.

“The name of the work must be tired, Mas,” said Alice.

“Ya don't have to work.”

Alice rolled her eyes lazily hearing Rian's words. “There don't bother Alice. What's Rian here for? Ms. Reni is not here.”

“I want to kidnap you,” replied Rian smiling obliquely.

Of course Alice did not approve of her abduction. His hours are long and he does not want to leave his responsibilities. Moreover, the state of the store is very crowded, also coincidentally in this shift one of their colleagues did not enter. As a result Alice tells Rian to go home first and the man agrees to what Alice tells him. Actually he was also curious why today Rian is not working?

“Ask later, now focus,” murmured Alice.

The woman continued her work which was delayed due to chatting with Rian. His colleagues feel hesitant to reprimand because they know who Rian is.

“Please order. Enjoy,” said Alice put a plate containing fruit salad on the table of one of her customers.

“Thank you,” replied the customer smiled behind the mask he was wearing.

Alice returned to her place, she felt a little curious about the masked customer. Alice silently watched the man's movements. The man sitting in the corner of the tavern took off his mask and began to enjoy his meal.

“What's concerned, Ma'am?” ask one of Alice's colleagues.

“That, the guy sitting alone in the corner,” replied Alice.

“Mbak Al, know?” her question and her gaze followed Alice's direction.

Alice shakes. “I don't know him.”

It was true that Alice did not recognize the man. Alice and her co-workers suddenly flutter when caught watching the man. However, unexpectedly it turned out that the man was smiling at them and slightly nodded his head intending to greet them. Alice frowned looking at the still smiling man. Feeling strange about his behavior.

“Ganteng, Ma'am,” whispered co-worker Alice.

Alice shook her head at the words of her co-worker. He told his friend to get back in position and refocus. She also refocused herself on her work. Until it does not feel his working hours are almost over, approximately thirty minutes more. Alice along with others began to clean the tavern which is now empty of visitors. At the door is also marked if the store is closed.

“Mbak, wait until I finish counting, yes?” pinta is one of the people behind the cashier table and counting the money from the sale today.

“Iya calm I wait,” replied Alice who had changed clothes. Now he sits in one of the chairs, waiting for his friend to finish counting, “You want to go home first is okay,” he continued to other colleagues.

“OK, we go home first, Ma'am.”

“Come, Mbak. I'm done.”

Alice was still locking the tavern and her friend had gone home first because there was an appointment. The woman did not mind, because it was her responsibility as a butler. After all, the one who carries the key is him and if morning Reni will open the shop. Yes, Reni more often stay in the store in the morning.

“Udah close, Mbak?” ask a voice that surprises Alice. Spontaneously the woman turned to look at someone standing before her.

“Yes, today is closed,” replied Alice frowning.

“Besok open what time?”

“The store opens at half-time Nine in the morning.”

The man nodded his head. Alice quietly noticed the appearance of the man, a masked man with a black hat. The mysterious man who looked strange in Alice's mind at this moment.

“Thank you, Alice,” said the man and left.

While Alice was surprised, how did the man know her name? The woman was about to chase after the man and ask if they had met before. But no, the man disappeared somewhere. He left not long ago.

Alice was still wondering who that man really was. He really doesn't recognize her. Alice arrived at Fia's boarding house, apparently her best friend was not at her boarding house. I don't know where his best friend went.

“Why did I meet these weird people today?” muttered Alice.

Yeah, he just remembered. Earlier in the store also one of the visitors showed a strange gelagat. Alice flicked her shoulders and immediately took a shower to wash away her body that felt sticky by sweat. Today he was very tired, the shop was really crowded with visitors.

A few minutes later Alice's body was clean and fragrant. He sat on the bed and grabbed his cell phone. Sending a chat to Fia, asking where her best friend is. While she waited, a reply from Fia came into her phone. Alice read the series of writings on her phone screen.

“Ckck, another date turns out,” murmured Alice.

A call came in, making Alice squeak in shock. Call from Rian. The woman swiped her screen to answer a call from Rian.

“Halo?” greet Alice.

“After kos?” ask Rian from across the street.

“Udah from earlier. Oh yes, today Mas Rian did not go to the hospital?” answer and ask Alice who has been curious since.

“Today I am on leave,” replied Rian.

“Tumben leave, what is it?”

“Hmm, I have something to finish today.”

“How are you doing Sandra? Alice wants to look at Sandra,” said Alice when she remembered the woman. Long enough Rian answered that question.
