Flavor Anomaly

Part 3 This taste ...

"Understand everything?!" asked Mr. Eko to look into our eyes one by one. It looks like an eagle will pounce on its prey. The look that from the beginning could make everyone tremble. He is famous for being tough and tough. His heart is actually soft.

"Understand me, sir."

We answered like voices. Because if the answer is the opposite, then we have to hear that explanation for 2 hours, again. This is similar to the mandate of the ceremonial builder during the August 17th. Uninspiring.

"And you two!" Show her to me and Nova sitting next to each other. "Please cooperate. Help the others. Tomorrow there are 4 more reinforcements. They're moving here. Not like you guys, who are here only for a while."

Me and Nova glanced at each other, giving each other code by raising one eyebrow, while the other one shrugged.

"Dance, Doni, Rahma, same Hadi." It was like we knew the confusion from our faces. Mr. Eko said it was relaxed but like full of meaning.

The two of us just rounded our lips to form Ooo said. Without noise.

"And Ocha! Do what you think is right. I'm sure you can. Even if it puts your life at risk."

Deep, deep and meaningful. I still think what Mr. Eko means. And finally understand. "Ready, sir."

They are some employees who are in the center, and currently, the branch is in need of many more experienced experts. They are some pretty good people. It's just, I'm surprised. Why the three of them should come here at the same time. Doni, Dance and Rahma. It seems that Mr. Eko did it intentionally. The rest is my job.

Hours 12.00

Lunchtime. Near the office there is a cafe that is said to be quite cheap and the cuisine is delicious. Because the stomach has started to protest, and before the demonstration became anarchist, I immediately invited Nova down. Nova was one of my closest friends in the office. He knows and understands me the most. And often helped me finish so much work.

On the stairs we met Uci, an old employee who was quite active during the meeting. He looks so cute. And a little spoiled.

"Hi .. mba. Want to eat, huh?" it seemed to be waiting for us intentionally.

"Hi, Ci. Yes, would you like to be together?" Ask Nova basa stale. Uci nodded. I don't think there's any harm in taking her. We can be more familiar and share about the state of the office.

But as we were about to descend from the stairs, suddenly Angga ran a little sneak between us.

"So step aside," he cried without staring, even focusing on the floor he was on.

We got out of the way and were a little surprised to see it.

"Why not a child?" Nova chirps a little wonder or just a stale base.

"A lot of people are waiting below, mba. Usually he was sent food," whispered Uci who made me a little curious.

It turned out that when it came down, it was true what Uci said. Angga was talking to a woman with a plastic bag that looked like a lunch box in her hand. They look familiar to each other.

"Yes .. be careful, yes," Angga told the woman. He was gone on a matic bike just after we got to the bottom.

"Cie ... dikerin eat," joked Uci as he stared at Angga's face and the plastic bag in his hand alternately.

"Dissapper!" He immediately went back inside and slightly glanced at me. I just kept quiet without expression. Just pinch your lips so they don't look weird.

We went to the cafe which was in front of the office. Pretty close. I don't think I need to go any further. And again I don't know the way. I even forgot where our rented house was. Gosh darn.

The atmosphere of the cafe is quite crowded. With the current interior of the building, lights and some wall stickers make the atmosphere more comfortable to look at. It's almost full of tables inside, 'cause it's lunchtime. And again almost all employees eat in this place. Except those who bring their own food. Eventually we joined other employees to get a place. They are quite friendly and fun. Various chats live the atmosphere while bringing us closer.

Until the time I eat, my attention is on someone who feels very familiar. The shadow though fleeting, I know very well. I watched him stick around. Until I finally realized, he was the same person.

"Idham?!" I muttered trying to minimize the sound. Between sure and unsure. Because that guy's appearance doesn't look so much like the Idham I used to know. It's just that when I kept looking at him, he turned his head, glared at me, then smiled. Not only that. Now he grinned with the same look. Just like a few years ago. Just like when he .. oh god. Why did he appear in front of me? Why should he?

"The cha? Why?" Nova asked, shaking my body until I regained my senses, then looking at her. He raised his eyebrows waiting for my answer. I bit my lip so that he didn't notice the nervousness I was beginning to show.

"I'm okay. I'm back in the office first, yeah. Forgot my cell phone left in the bag," my dear so that he does not suspect. He nodded, not sure.

I looked back many times. And start to speed up my pace. I tried to hide when he didn't see me. I wish he didn't find me anymore. That's all it is.

When I got to the office I was still worried. Unknowingly I hit someone. Who stood in front of me.

"But! Why lu? Run. Like being chased by a demon?" Angga asked a little annoyed, who had just come out of the toilet.

"Huh? What the fuck? Who?" I was still confused and occasionally looked in the direction I had come. There's no one else. We're the only ones in this hallway.

"Why the hell? Playing hide and seek again with Uci?" Angga asked while looking behind us. He meant to joke but at the moment it doesn't sound funny.

"Not really."

Not waiting for anything else, I immediately walked back and entered our room.

"Woii! Mba?" Angga's screams I don't mind anymore.

The earth feels swaying. My view is a little unstable. Even as I entered, I continued to hold on to the wall and whatever was around me. I was afraid of falling down as usual.

"Why, Mba?" Ask Hadi who makes me more dizzy. He tried to grab my hand when I was about to point at him. Glared at him, with a frown on his forehead.

"Who? How come it's here?"

"Yes. I am now here to. Forgot, huh? Same with the others as well" he replied while pointing at the other three people.

I try to stand up straight. Hadi started to let go of my hand. It's just, he keeps looking at me weird.

"You're all right? Sick, huh?"

"I'm doing fine. Tired aja. That road. Hehe." I pressed my chest trying to widen the smile by controlling emotions and breathing that was almost exhausted. At that moment, Angga came in.

"What's the matter, mba?" tanya Angga looks worried.

I didn't answer just putting my index finger and thumb together to form the letter O. Then sit in a chair. Some people look at me. Their eyes were almost the same, astonished. And curious.

"The cha? You pucket! That hurt?!" Rahma approached, putting the back of the hand on my forehead. Checking both my eyeballs in close range. He looks like a doctor. Very detailed in watching the surrounding. He even knows the type of medicine for some diseases. It was he who I often asked for medication if I had trouble sleeping.

"What the hell, Ma? I'm not okay. I was tired of climbing the stairs" I closed my eyes with the palm of my hand.

He put away my hand and kept staring back at me.

"Bikinin anget tea aja gih sono. Really nyeremin you! Slitheringly. Sana yes," My love kept my body away from Rahma.

"Let me just. All want to make coffee," Angga said and then immediately went out of the room. Rahma and I just gawked at her probing gaze.

"You sure, Cha, don't want to come? Eat this big. Mumpung Pak Eko. Kan ngirit money to eat, Cha," said Nova when she knew I refused to eat together, commemorating the birthday of Mr. Eko, our Boss.

"Related. I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep. These eyes can't stand it" I said, bringing my eyes closer to Nova's face for her to believe.

"Keep what later?"

"Easy! There followed the others!" I kicked Nova into the car of another employee who wanted to eat together.

"Related?"

"Iye, baffles!"

Though hesitant, Nova finally went with the others. I live alone on the side of the road not far from the office. I looked for paper from the bag. I wish I had kept the home address yesterday here. The night is getting late. The air is getting cold. Even the stars are not visible so far.

" Ocha?" Call someone whose voice sounds familiar. A voice I don't want to hear anymore. When I heard it, the nightmares became real.

He stood in front of me without me knowing. "Idham?!"

"What are you doing here? We haven't seen you in a long time, yeah. You said you moved house? Move to where?"  Ask a strange-looking man, wearing expensive clothes and objects, but it does not look suitable for him

"What do you want?" I cold. No matter the consecutive questions from this jerk in front of me. I started to retreat slowly, just that my body felt stiff. Many times he tried to reach my face, and many times I also brushed his hand rough

"Hey.. relax dong. Oh you work here? Good though. So I know where to look for you," he stopped talking, leaned over at me. "I miss," he continued, whispering in my ear.

A slap floated right on his right cheek. I looked at him, with emotions that I had been holding back since.

"Not enough? Huh uh?!"

He kept silent while massaging his cheeks that were reddened by my hand stamp. "You're getting wild, yeah. I like it" he whispered. This time his eyes were sharp. Like I don't want to let go of me, anymore. He walked, slowly approaching. I'm automatic retreat. Then yell. I closed both ears with my eyes closed. Along with my loud screams. I'm so scared now.

"Hey! It's diem!" Flinch Idham with a stifled voice. The threat is still the same. It never changed apparently.

"Why?" I heard the voices of others around me. I'm still in the same position. Squatting down and hiding behind my own two knees. Now the screams change. Even my cries are louder than the sound of street traffic. Before long, someone put a jacket on my back. Spontaneously I threw it away and inched backwards. Terrified.

"Hey, mba? It´s me! Open your eyes first!" Shouted Angga who was now holding my hand tightly. Even though I pushed the rope it kept pushing.

When I opened my eyes, I looked in all directions. Looking for the demon that scared me earlier.

"He's gone! Let me anter home ..," he said, helping me stand up. Then take back his jacket. "wear! It's cold!"

Saying nothing more, he took me to his bike. Even throughout the journey, he did not ask anything at all. I put my head on his back. At once holding the stomach, holding hunger.

"Mba .. until," said Angga shaking the body to wake me up. I didn't realize I was asleep. It feels very comfortable.

"anytime soon. Still sleepy," I murmured a tight hug on his waist.

"Ye sleep here? Move rooms! I want to go home! Tired tofu! "

Hearing that, I got off the bike immediately. Walked in without looking again. When I remember something, I go back to the front of the bike. "Now!" Take off Angga's jacket by pursing his lips. I turned around, but he quickly held my hand. Surprised me.

"What else?!" Sinister manyu.

"Mighty jutek? I'm laper. Ask for food" he said with a sinless smile.

"Basic!"

Not rejecting or assuring, I immediately entered followed by him.

Slowly the vibration was felt, unnoticed. Piling up little by little. It brings out a little attention that is precious to others. As hard as they refuse, if God wills? Nothing is impossible.
