Hate But Love

Eps. 05 (season 2)

Without feeling it, it was getting late. Zidan leaned his body on the sofa of his study. He had a meeting with some of his clients. He was really tired today.

"Drink a little young master" said Fanny as she offered a cup of coffee. Zidan squinted his eyes. He looked at Fanny in surprise.

"Drinking coffee can calm your mind" said Fanny again. Zidan sighed for a moment. He rarely drinks coffee, especially black coffee like this. Not dislike, because he did not have time to relax while drinking coffee in his study. Just a few times because Fanny always offered it to him.

"Fan, you know I don't like coffee very much" Zidan said without looking at Fanny standing next to him.

"I know young master. But this time believe me, this coffee will make the young master's mind more relaxed," said Fanny. Zidan took it for granted with what Fanny said. He started to drink the coffee. Instantly he was silent for a moment.

"Who made this coffee?" zidan asked and stared intently at Fanny. That look was intimidating for Fanny. Fanny painfully swallowed her saliva. It's not made by anyone. He just ordered it online.

"Did the young master not like him? Then I make another one," replied Fanny nervously. If Zidan gets angry it's not a good thing for him.

"Am I commenting on the taste? I'm just asking who made this coffee, right? Why are you so scared?" zidan said and sipped his coffee again. Fanny breathed a sigh of relief. This time he survived the lion's rampage.

"That's, I bought it through an online app. Does the young master mind?" ask Fanny carefully.

"Where did you buy it? Take me there" said Zidan in a hurry.

"Sa-I don't know where it is sir. It was delivered by the online motorcycle. I just ordered it origin," replied Fanny. Zidan sighed for a moment. He turned his body back on the couch.

"I'll give you five minutes to ask the online guy. After that we go there," said Zidan who closed his eyes. Again Fanny had trouble swallowing her own saliva. But he could not dispute Zidan's orders.

"God, what's wrong with the young master? Don't tell me if the young master wants to acquire that coffee shop," Fanny's mind went everywhere.

"Still not acting as well?" zidan said a little annoyed.

"Well, I'll ask" said Fanny. He walked out of his room.

Five minutes passed. Fanny returned to Zidan's room. He stood beside Zidan who was watching his eyes.

"Young master," said Fanny softly.

"Hmmm.."

"I know where the coffee shop is. But there was one thing that stuck my mind. Can I ask you something?" fanny said carefully.

"What do you want to know?" zidan asked and now opened his eyes. He positioned himself to sit.

"Does the young master intend to acquire the coffee shop because it tastes bad?" ask Fanny. Now his face is pale.

"Maha..." Zidan laughed loudly. He really felt funny about the question posed by Fanny, his assistant.

"How many years have you been following me? Do you still not understand me, huh?" zidan said in his laughter. Fanny really doesn't understand. Was he wrong to question it so that he could anticipate things that might happen later?

"That's it. You'll find out later, quickly take me there," said Zidan and he stood up. Zidan embraced Fanny from the side and walked in tandem.

Long enough to get to the coffee shop. Fanny marginalized her car on the side of the road opposite the tavern. Coffee shops are not so spacious but very crowded by visitors.

Zidan could see how crowded the coffee shop was. He still watches the shop.

"Master, that's the place" said Fanny, who stared at Zidan from the rearview mirror.

"It's a lot" said Zidan.

"Do I need to vacate the place for you young master?" ask Fanny. Whatever Zidan wants while it makes sense he will.

"No need" Zidan replied.

His black bead was still staring at the coffee shop. He was in that position long enough. Fanny was also just faithfully waiting for the next order. He did not even know what his master was thinking. Are you making plans or thinking about something else.

"I was wondering who made the coffee. It feels so good that I can't forget it" Zidan said.

"We're going there now Fan" Zidan said. Fanny nodded and drove back her car towards the coffee shop's 'About Flavor' parking lot.

Fanny comes out and opens the car door for Zidan. Zidan got out of the car. He walks slowly into the store with Fanny following him from behind. Fanny still doesn't understand Zidan's purpose here. Zidan paused for a moment and turned to look at Fanny.

"Is this really the place here?" ask Zidan to make sure.

"Yes young master," Fanny replied while looking down. Zidan returned to his feet.

"Ah, wasn't that the woman this morning?" muttered Zidan who saw Zara was brewing coffee orders from the visitors.

"Young master, what's wrong?" fanny asked confusedly. Because Zidan was silent again while watching the baristas.

"Do you remember that woman?" asked Zidan while pointing towards Zara. Highlight Fanny's eyes leading to the place Zidan pointed to.

"Yes, she was the woman who was peddling the cold drink at the crossroads this morning" Fanny replied. Zidan developed his smile. He walked quickly to the woman.

"Make me a cappucino" said Zidan, who was in front of Zara.

Zara glanced at the man. He smiled friendly. While his hands are skillfully brewing the coffee.

"Ah no, one black coffee and one cappucino," Zidan returned.

"Sorry sir, please write your order later if it is ready we will deliver it to your table" said Zara kindly. Again Zidan was still watching Zara.

"What's your name?" the question just slid through without Zidan noticing. Zara just nonchalantly responded.

"I asked you what your name is?" zidan repeated the question.

But Zara did not intend to serve Zidan's words. He smiled a little and kept himself busy again. While Fanny was still staring at Zidan in astonishment. Sometimes he rubbed his neck. Scratching his head that was not itchy at all.
