Ex-boyfriend

Poppy and Budi approached the man who waved at Poppy.

“Assalamualaikum, Bang Kevin,” greet Poppy.

“Waalaikumsalam, Poppy,” Reply Kevin

“Sorry late Bang, I was in the office first.”

“It's okay. I also just came,” Kevin look towards Budi.

“Oh yes forgot, Introduce this Mr. Budi GM at Rangga’s hotel & resto.”

Kevin and Budi shake hands.

“Please sit down,” says Kevin.

“Thank you,” reply Budi .

As usual Budi pulled out a chair for Poppy to sit on.

“Thank you,” Poppy sits comfortably.

Kevin notices Budi's attentive treatment of Poppy

A waiter approached them and gave them a menu.

“Poppy want what message?” ask Kevin.

“What is the special menu today? Poppy asked the waiter.

“Today our special menu braised short ribs and mexican style chili,” replied the waiter .

“I want Mexican style chile. But the beef is not a fork,” said Poppy.

“Everything is beef, Mom. We do not provide forks,” said the waiter

“Thank God then,” says Poppy.

“I order special beef stew,” says Budi

“I Swiss steak,” says Kevin.

“Drink what, Sir?” the waiter asked back.

“I orange juice aja,” says Poppy.

“Orange juice,” says Budi.

“Orange juice,” says Kevin.

After re-calling the order, the waiter left.

“Poppy I am sorry, I cannot come to serve because I am having business in the Philippines,” Kevin looks very sorry.

“It's okay bang. Akang Rangga has calmed down there,” replied Poppy.

“How many months pregnant are you?” ask Kevin who saw Poppy's belly start to bulge.

“Four months Bang,” said Poppy as she rubbed her stomach.

“Bang Kevin how many children has he had?” ask Poppy.

Suddenly Kevin's face turned cloudy.

“Abang has no children. Tantri miscarriages continue. Maybe this is the karma you have to accept because you once left Poppy and married Tantri, ” Kevin said with regret.

Oh, so Mr. Kevin is Bu Poppy's ex-girlfriend, he asked to be escorted and did not want to be escorted by Mr. Reno. Mr. Reno would definitely not allow Poppy to meet Kevin, Budi said in his heart.

“Already, Bang. It's all just the past. I am happy with my marriage even if only briefly.”

A waiter came to deliver orange juice.

“Thank you,” said Poppy to the waiter.

“Sama-sama, excuse me Bu.”

After the waiter left.

“And him?” Kevin pointed towards Budi.

“Oh….Budi this is the person who appointed Papih my in-laws to hold and manage Rangga’s Hotel & Resto. I am pregnant, so the same Papih should not be too cape.”

“Oh, I guess he's your bodyguard,” Kevin said in a mocking tone.

Just be quiet and not be fooled by Kevin's ridicule.

Poppy turned towards Budi with a smile.

“When Kang Rangga was alive, Budi was his confidant Kang Rangga. And now Budi became Papih Rahardian and Bang Reno.”

Crazy until Reno also believes in this same person. How wonderful he is, Kevin whispered inwardly in annoyance.

There was ringtone from Budi's phone. The name Dimas is on the screen.

“Sorry Mom, I have to answer the phone from Dimas,” whispered Budi to Poppy.

Poppy replied with a nod.

Budi stood up and walked out of the restaurant while answering the phone from Dimas.

“Who called?” ask Kevin

“Dimas assistant papih phone.”

“Oh.”

Kevin and Poppy continued their conversation. Suddenly though…..

“Oh, so this is what I mean lunch with client?????”

“Heh... Poppy!!! Widow gatel, why do you deket-deket with my husband????? Wanna grab it, huh loe???? “ Tantri accuses Poppy.

Kevin tries to keep Tantri away from Poppy.

“Ma, already Ma,” said Kevin while holding Tantri's arm.

Pissed Poppy was accused like that by Tantri. But he tried to calm down not provoked emotions.

“I never snatched your husband, Tantrii, "Poppy is still trying to be patient.

"Where is the actor who ngaku. No longer ashamed of being pregnant still teasing people's husbands, "sneered Tantri

“Astagfirullohalazim."

“TANTRI!!!!!” snapped Kevin.

"Sorry, I have to go," rich Poppy while taking her bag and stepping away.

"Poppy please don't go first, listen to your brother's explanation first, "Kevin's holding Poppy, he's holding Poppy.

"BRANCH!!!!! " tantri snapped, furious to see Kevin holding Poppy's hand.

Poppy tries to let go of the hand Kevin held.

"There's nothing to explain anymore" Poppy said sternly.

"Love Brother a chance to make amends Brother. Let Brother be a father to Poppy's son" Kevin said in his condolences.

Tantri was upset that Kevin considered nothing, he took the orange juice on the table...

Byurrrrs

Tantri lends Poppy's face with orange juice.

“Rasain loe dowager gatel,” exclaim Tantri.

Just now Poppy wants to protest against Tantri's humiliation, she is doused in orange again by Tantri.

“ADA WHAT IS THIS ?????” He appeared next to Poppy.

Budi saw Poppy's face and clothes wet as if they had been flooded.

“Mommy is okay? “ asked Budi who was so concerned about seeing a wet Poppy.

Budi quickly took a tissue and gave it to Poppy., "Dry first his face."

I saw Poppy's wet shirt on her chest.

"Change clothes first, yeah. Mother's clothes are wet."

Budi picked up the bag that was on Poppy's shoulder sash, and he sled it onto his own shoulder.

" Budi sir, I'm going to the toilet. My face is sticky."

"Wait a minute, ma'am, yes" Budi waved his hand calling the waiter. With a swift waiter approached Budi.

"Is there anything I can do, sir?" ask the waiter who approached him.

" Say to your Manager, do not delete the CCTV of this incident. If anyone removes CCTV, I will make sure the permission of this restaurant will be revoked." threatening Budi.

"Okay, sir," replied the waiter.

Then he turned to Kevin and Tantri.

"Sir Kevin, please don't call and bother Miss Poppy anymore."

Then I turned to Tantri.

"And you madam, you must be prepared to be rewarded for the arbitrary treatment of Ms. Poppy, " cried Budi with a murderous eye.

"Please, I'm not afraid" Tantri said haughtily.

But Budi did not respond to Tantri's remarks .

Budi thrust his right arm at Poppy and Poppy held tightly to Budi's arm with her left hand. And they walked away from the restaurant.

Waiting for Poppy in front of the toilet.

Budi was worried about something happening to Poppy. When Poppy came out, she looked like she was crying.

"How are you relieved now?"

Poppy snuggles.

"Sir, I'm hungry. "

Be smiling. Because of the disturbing incident earlier he and Poppy did not become lunch.

"Later on, Mom. Now I have to change clothes first. Mother's clothes will get wet in the wind, " replied Budi.

Budi and Poppy enter a boutique.

"Good day, "greet the boutique waiter kindly.

"Please find clothes that are suitable for this mother, " said Budi.

"Good, Sir. Please father and mother sit down first, "the servant shows a comfortable sofa near the entrance.

After Budi and Poppy sit down, the boutique waitress finds a dress that is suitable for Poppy.

"Sir Budi, this is a Muslim clothing boutique" said Poppy.

"Not anything important fit and suitable to be used with the mother, " replied Budi.

Before long the waiter came carrying a long dress that cantilk.

"Please try first, ma'am," the waiter gave Poppy a shirt.

Poppy noticed the shape and model of the Muslim dress.

Then cook into the room fittings.
