"Sir Aira, there's someone coming up ahead" said Mang Dadang.
"Who's mang? Tumben someone nyariin early in the morning gini." said Aira who immediately put down the spoon and stop eating.
"Fansnya Nak Aira kali." said Bi Ijah.
"Idiih, where anyone knows the same Aira. That's not the guy." chirped Keno directly get a pinch from Aira.
"Iri said boss! You do not know if I already look like an artist, my fans are many let alone followers on Instagram. You're not rich, haha." ledek Aira.
"Eh my followers are also a lot more than a million, beautiful girls all over again."
"Eh uh, this is even on ngeributin followers anyway. That's the guy pity waiting at the door."
"Well, I'm told to sit down first."
"Forgotten ehe.." Aira immediately went to meet the person who was meant by Mang Dadang earlier.
Arriving at the door, a man in the special clothes of the security guard turned his back to Aira.
"Who are you looking for, sir?"
The man turned his back, "Hello Miss Prettykk..."
"Gosh, Mr. Dodit turns out to be who huh. Why sir early in the morning here, tumben very. Want to play Aira again? or do you want to fight? That's also why bring a bouquet of big flowers." ketus Aira
"Geez Miss Aira is very chatty, this is from Madam Mira. He told me to drive him. And here's the food she said the madam who cooked." Mr. Dodit thrust the large bouquet of flowers and also a paper bag to Aira until overwhelmed carrying.
"Ayiihhhh, is this really for Aira? Wrong time sir."
"It's true for Miss Aira, yes for the pot next to Miss."
"What order did Mama send it to? Heuh, that's a tumben."
"Where am I going, I'm just told to take her."
"Know sir not Tempe."
"It's up to me, I'd rather tempeh than know."
Aira patted her forehead, "Udah-alah, hunt sir Dodit home. Tell Mama, Thank you."
"Without being told to go home, too, I went home alone, Miss."
Aira directly slammed the door violently making Mr. Dodit slightly jerked. He brought a bouquet of flowers and his food inside.
"Who are you ?!" asked Keno in a high voice.
"From your guy? So you got another guy? you betrayed me? How evil really ! It could be betraying me." exclaimed Keno.
"The mouth was on the brake, a lot of talk. Where there's nothing real anymore." Aira menoyor Keno's.
"That there's a brake, tell me who it was from !" asked Keno glaring at his eyes.
"From Mama, why the hell? It's just angry."
Slowly, Aira directly opened the paper bag and took out a few food boxes from there. He opened the food box one by one. Seen there is Potato balado, potato parchment, and there is chicken geprek sambal matah. There is also a drinking bottle containing infused water. All of those foods are Aira's favorite foods.
He was moved to see her, rarely did his mother send food for him. Especially said Mr. Dodit earlier, if this is all Mama's cooking. Though he knew, this year his mother never touched the kitchen let alone cooking because of his busyness. But this time mama cooks specially for Aira.
"Is this really Mama's?"
"Say, Mr. Dodit is right." Aira immediately took a spoon and tasted the food.
"Hm right, it tastes so good. This is indeed mama's cooking, I always remember the taste of mama's cooking." Inner Aira, her eyes were glazed over with glass to cry from being moved. She thought that her mother loved Aira and would correct her attitude towards Aira.
"Heyy, why silence." exclaimed Keno disperse the reverie of Aira.
"Ahh no." Aira hurriedly wiped away her tears that were almost dripping.
"Do you want to taste it? It's so good, you're gonna love it." Aira bargained.
"It does look tempting, I'd love to eat it but my stomach is full." replied Keno with a sad look.
"How about lunch? I'll get it ready for you."
"Well, get me a lot of rice, the ballad potatoes too, the parchment too, anyway I'll eat a lot."
"Hey hey hey, aren't you going to leave a little for me?"
"Alright you can take a little, not too much."
"That's why you set it up, it's for me."
"That's for me too, you know. Just get everything ready and we'll go."
"Based on a sweet son who sucks." Aira grumbled.
"I heard it." exclaimed Keno chuckling.
***
Keno walked into his room humming with a paper bag in his hand containing food. Passing employees are amazed by their late president who often carries something, which is nothing but lunch. Rarely there is a president who wants to carry paper bags in his hands let alone bring supplies for lunch. That's because the person who prepares the supplies is Aira, if not for Aira where he wants Keno to take food for lunch.
"Good morning handsome President." said Adel as he struggled spoiled in Keno's arms.
"Let go!"
"Leave it like this." exclaimed Adel who instead leaned his head on Keno's shoulder.
"Depart or I'll fire !" snapped at Keno but did not scare Adel.
"Fire if you want to be angry with your papa."
Keno clucked while releasing Adel by force. He even pushed Adel's body even though it did not fall.
"Why are you pushing me, you're so rude."
"I don't care, get your job done right now!" exclaims Keno and goes straight into his room by slamming the door until Adel jerks.
"Huh, patience. Soon you will also fall into a trap, where you may not be tempted by me." murmured Adel smiled cynically.
Keno sat down in her chair. He felt very uncomfortable with Adel's attitude as it continues. It felt like he wanted to break Adel's hand so he couldn't stay in Keno's arm anymore.
After calming his mind for a moment, then Keno immediately finished his work. The music that comes from his phone is always his friend at work. With the occasional singing can make Keno more enthusiastic in the work.
*tock...
Geck...
Vtck*...
"Lock !" keno shouted as the door was knocked on by someone.
"Am I bothering you?"
"You want anything to say." said Keno without turning to someone who was talking to him thinking that Adel or Frido who entered.
"Just want to accompany you to work."
Keno just turned her head after the person said like that, "Ele..."
"Hey." Ellen smiled sweetly.
"Why are you here? You should be home resting."
"I'm just bored if at home, everyone goes to work. I'm the only one at home, so I'm here." Keno smiled hearing that, he randomized Ele's hair.
As usual, Ellen would wait on the sofa while chatting with Keno. Keno was also used to it and he was very happy with Ellen's presence.
Time has shown at 12 noon, it is time for lunch. Keno immediately turned off the laptop and closed the files. Soon he approached Ellen who had accidentally fallen asleep on the sofa.
"Ele, let's get up." said Keno to Ellen's wake.
Ellen felt something on her cheek wriggle and blink her eyes.
"Hm, why did you wake me up" Ellen said in a typical wake-up voice.
"It's noon, don't you want to eat? Let's eat first and take your medicine. Later if you have, you can continue your sleep again." said Keno softly.
"Where are we going to have lunch?"
"Actually I brought the provisions earlier, but if you want something else I'll order it for you."
"You brought lunch?" ask Ellen in wonder. Keno nodded and immediately opened the food box that Aira had prepared this morning.
"Wahh it looks good, I want this" Ellen said excitedly as Keno opened the food box.
They eat the food immediately, and Keno feeds Ellen. Of course Ellen was happy, because she had not eaten in Keno for a long time.
"Don't, I want to eat it every day." cried Ellen and continued to chew.
"Who cooked it?"
"Bi Ijah" said Keno lying to Ellen, it is impossible if he said that the one who cooks is his future mother-in-law.
"It's over, are you full?" ask Keno.
"I'm sorry, because I'm using your provisions you're eating a little."
"It's okay, I'm full too. Now take your medicine, and continue to sleep. If you want you can sleep in my room to make it more comfortable."
"All right..."
***
Aira, Mega, and Sandi are enjoying their lunch. They choose to eat ketoprak that is near their office. Sitting on a thin mat under a cool tree, staring down the highway watching the passing vehicle.
"It's a long time not to eat ketoprak here" said Sandi.
"Yes even though it's very tight, but because it's crowded so lazy to eat here. Good thing we had a break earlier." said Mega.
Aira just smiled and played her phone. At the end of this he often contact Keno to remind you have eaten or not. Aira was only worried if Keno's heartburn recurred like that time.
"Chattingan the same who from earlier smiles themselves" said Sandi stroked Aira's cellphone.
"Sir Password!"
"Wihhh, Ken, don't forget lunch. Just be careful if you miss your lunch again." Sandi reads the message that Aira sent to Keno and makes Aira ashamed.
"Ciyee Aira, the more sticky it is to change Keno." goda Mega cooed Aira's chin.
"Sirpikin not Aira's cell phone." shouted Aira and jumped to snatch her phone from Sandi's hand.
"Dear, just let them chat again pity haha" said Mega.
Password complies and returns Aira's phone. Aira was upset and left them both.
"Eh where are you going." asked Sandi as Aira walked away from them.
"Return to the office !"
"Eh zubaedah, you haven't paid for the armpits. He said this time to pay for us." cried Mega.
"That is ! Pay by yourself."
Mega and Sandi also gawked at Aira's back, "Well not so eat for free, which must payin have Aira too." exclaimed Sandi with a sad look.
"You're the one who, play grab her phone Aira aja. So cut him. Never mind, pay up!" Mega pursues Aira and leaves Sandi.
"Hiks, why even on ninggalin anyway" said Sandi scratching his head.
"Eh pay the chips and leave here, change the others." exclaimed the ketoprak seller to Sandi.
"Yeah bang, so excited to be a person. Nihhh take, the change take. It's good for me." said Sandi thrust money to the seller Ketoprak.
"Eh boy, this is a good fit where there's a change. It's sableng."
"My name is Sandi bang, not sableng." protested Sandi.
"Go sono ! Make me emotional."
"Basar babang ferocious." said Sandi stuck out her tongue to the seller ketoprak and then ran as fast as the seller took off his sandal and was about to throw at Sandi.
***
"Ken, are you going home yet?" ask Ellen.
"Yes, why is it? Where do you want me to accompany you."
"How about we go to the beach first. Said my friend enjoying the twilight on the beach was fun."
"All right, let's go to the beach."
Keno drives her car to the beach she used to visit with Aira. The beach where he expresses his feelings to Aira. This time he visited the beach again, but with a different woman.
"It's so beautiful the view." said Ellen looking at the sea.
"Yes, it'll be more beautiful soon. Let's just wait."
Ellen was delighted to see such a beautiful beach scene, sitting together by the beach with Keno.
"Did you come here often?" ask Ellen.
"Not often, just occasionally."
"Who with? Your woman?" ask Ellen to smile.
"No, don't talk about it anymore."
"Who is the woman who can melt your heart? I want to know her too." said Elle. with a sad face.
"Nothing, don't you think about it." replied Keno stroking Ellen's head.
Keno lies to Ellen again, knowing her face. Keno knows that even though Ellen is smiling, she is sad. Because Keno also knows that Ellen still loves him.
"I don't know when I'm called by the Creator, but I always pray that in my last days you'll stay by my side" Ellen said, leaning her head against Keno's shoulder.
"Don't talk like that, you won't leave. And I will always be by your side. You have to stay up. I'm sure you'll be cured. Okay." okay." Keno's heart always hurts if Ellen says she's leaving soon.
"Thank God for bringing me a very nice man. The man who was the reason why I had to stick around." - Ellen.
They walked along the beach with their shoes removed. Hand in hand while staring at the people running around here and there playing cheerfully.
Keno and Ellen leave the beach when the sun is down. Keno arrived at her house at 7pm because she had to drive Ellen home first.
"Where are Aira's kids, where aren't you with Mister?" ask mang Dadang.
"Emang Aira hasn't come home yet?"
"Not Mr."
"Oh my God I forgot!" Keno ran to his car again.
Because he accompanied Ellen, he forgot to tell Aira that he would pick her up and go home together. Keno believes that Aira must still be waiting for him at the office, even though Aira came home at 5 this afternoon.
At high speed, Keno drove his car through a fairly solid road. His heart was not calm, feeling sorry for Aira who had been waiting for him for a long time.
He was about to call Aira but his phone ran out of power. His heart grew increasingly unsettled, feeling extremely guilty with Aira. A few minutes later, Keno's car had reached Aira's office. He saw that Aira was still waiting for him in front of the security guard post while chatting with the security guard who was on duty.
Guilt continued to envelop Keno, with a careless step he approached Aira who was busy chatting with the security guard.
"Airas.."
"Eh Hay, you've come apparently." said Aira.
"I'm sorry, you must have waited a long time." said Keno lowered her face.
"It's okay why is your face so sad?"
Keno became even more sad to see Aira who remained ordinary and still smiled, even though he had been waiting for Keno since 5 pm and now it was half-eight pm. It was a long time ago, especially to wait.
"It's okay, let's go home now."
Aira said goodbye to the security guard who had accompanied him earlier and went straight into Keno's car.
"Once again I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I should have told you to just go home earlier, no need to wait for me." said Keno with a sad face.
"Just wait two and a half hours, that's not long. Besides, your work must be a lot until you come home at this hour."
Those words left Keno speechless, he didn't work until this night. But she accompanied Ellen to the beach. He has fun with Ellen and forgets Aira, making the woman have to wait a long time.
"Sorry..."
"Huufffttt, you've said sorry so many times. Aren't you tired, anyway I'm okay why you keep feeling guilty. Strange you are, haha."
"Aira, you're too good for me. You can always accept me no matter what the situation is." Inner Keno.
Keno stopped his car at a nearby restaurant. Aira must have been very hungry, so Keno invited Aira to dinner first. He swiftly pulled the chair for Aira to sit down.
"I can do it myself."
"Sit is sitting down."
"Why are you so weird today."
"Weird why? There's nothing weird about it."
While waiting for the food they ordered to arrive, they chatted and joked. They also took time to selfie.
After they finished eating, they went straight home. Being too tired today, Aira immediately laid her body on the bed after cleaning herself up. Stretch his muscles that feel stiff.
Open the phone to check who sent the message. Papa and his mother sent him a message.
They remind Aira to maintain health, not too tired, always eat on time, take vitamins and much more attention they give to Aira.
"You guys are so considerate of me, thank you." Aira looked at the photo of her parents on her phone and hugged her. With glassy eyes.
Aira was happy because her parents changed a little over the incident, she always prayed that her parents would stay that way with her.
