Hope Is You's
Twenty Five
"There's no reason, I just want to avoid" Atika kept turning her face away from Faiz's cold gaze.
"Any consequence must be a reason, you can't avoid it for no reason" Faiz continued to stare at her with a cold gaze and a hand that tightly held her wrist.
"I'm avoiding no problem, right? Our relationship is nothing more than superior and subordinate, our closeness yesterday is only because I need you to be my future husband in front of Ian and I also have returned the favor by pretending to say as your future wife. Symbiosis mutualism, and now it's done nothing else." Atika said it by trying to return Faiz's gaze and that actually made a strange noise on his body.
Their serious chatter was suddenly interrupted by a bell attached above the door of the warehouse-ringing loud outside sign (sales area) was in need of help
"Done your work. I'm waiting outside!" Fais loosened his grip from Atika's hand and walked out ahead of Atika.
Atika also came out after Faiz walked quickly out to the parking area, the customer was busy and certainly Nindi was overwhelmed because he was serving payments to some customers who were queuing at the cashier, he said, and there are some who ask the location of this product, the price of that product. Atika swiftly approached the customer who asked for the price of goods and then directed other customers who were confused looking for the location of the toothpaste display.
The time shows at 22:10 which means the time they close the store, and the customer was not as crowded as before, only 2 people are waiting in line at the cashier and one who is still busy choosing the same product from different brands.
"Fieuhh. Finally closed, today's customer is pretty well ma'am." Nindi said after the last customer came out of the door and was replied to a nod of agreement by Atika.
"Close on!" Atika walked out followed by Nindi, and slightly flinched after seeing the faithful man sitting in a chair with a round table in front of the store - visible focus on his phone screen .
"Eh sir Faiz is still here?" Marking Nindi's voice, the man raised his head from the cell phone and saw two women standing looking at him.
"Would you shut it? I help" Nindi nodded and Atika moved to see Faiz who started to move to arrange four chairs and took her into the store followed by Nindi who raised a round table.
Atika moved to the edge of the store trying to pull the iron door of the store cover but it was very difficult because the door was already looking old with a little rusty in some hinges.
A pair of large hands passed through his body, with a single pull of the door moving and almost completely closed.
"Next time don't make a schedule shift day that comes only two women all." Faiz, who helped her pull the hard door, approached her, still in place.
"Let's in there! Clerk cashier Nindi trus EOD" *clerk: the process of closing the cashier and matching the total sales per-shift with physical cash or non cash. EOD (End Of Day): the process of closing the sale from the store to the close and sending it to the central system*
Atika walked in and left Faiz who kept staring at her until she disappeared behind the door.
"The refrigerator boss is waiting for you?" Nindi asked as Atika approached her in front of the cashier's desk and Atika just shrugged her shoulders in response.
"Where is Trus?" Further.
"Gue is also dizzy. Like you saranin, I want to hindarin him first but instead dipepet gini." Said Atika while helping Nindi calculate the cash from the sale.
"But you like it?" Atika stopped her activities and turned to look at Nindi.
"Lo don't make me add dong Nin's dilemma. I also don't understand" He again tried to focus on cash in front of him.
"Lo has entered the trap of charm, Faiz deh keknya."
"Nindy!" The hardship that makes his heart not careless.
"OK okay. My advice mending you continue aja cuekin him first, we see how serious he deketin lo. And also let you know how you feel about him." Atika looked at Nindi while digesting her best friend's speech until the horn sound in front of her interrupted them.
Beepp beepp
Atika and Nindi came out to see who was honking loudly.
"Sandra?" Nindi said to make sure when she saw the petite woman on the motor matic
"It's over, right? Yukk!" Reply Sandra - the girl sitting on the bike - on Nindi.
"Kok you picked him up so much?" Nindi approaches the girl-Sandra who is Nindi's younger sister.
"Ck. Yaudah, wait a moment more selese" Nindi clucked before returning to enter with Atika.
Atika immediately completed the clerk process and ended with a smile of relief from Nindi.
"Lo want to go home? Me left?" Atika asked as soon as she saw Nindi walking in the direction of the locker.
" There's Mr. Faiz"
"Lo doesn't really understand. Time yes I'm both the same guy that I hindarin again" Atika put on a sullen face saw Nindi who attached a bag on her shoulder.
"Well, I'm sure you can. If you don't like him, you will always be alone. Except otherwise" said Nindi winked one eye then walked out and again followed Atika.
"Bye, I'm first yeah." Nindi waved her hand as she climbed into the rear motorcycle seat then switched to Faiz,
"Sir, leave me. Yeah. Don't fuck!" Nindi said it with an innocent grin on her face making Faiz just frown at seeing it.
"Dahh, sister Atika" Sandra waved her hand before tancap cas and left the minimarket.
Atika turned to Faiz who was also staring at him on the motorcycle seat, Atika decided to look first and entered the store and Faiz followed.
"So you're avoiding me because we don't have any more business?" Faiz without further ado, as soon as he arrived inside.
"Yes" replied Atika without turning her head and continued walking towards the computer.
"It turns out it was exactly what Dion said"
"meaning?" Atika turned her eyes from the computer to the face of the man standing next to her.
"No meaning what-pa. Cepet finish your work, I'll wait." After saying that Faiz chose to sit on the floor next to the seat occupied by Atika. Atika wanted to refuse and told the man to go home, but he also would not dare to be alone in this store so he chose to be quiet when Faiz sat on the floor and leaned his head on the black closet which was also a cigarette rack behind him and closed his eyes.
25minutes it took Atika to complete all the store reports, Faiz who realized it also stood up and gave way to Atika through it.
Atika entered the employee door to the safe to save cash from the sale after that to his locker then put on a sweater and attach his bag to the right shoulder. He walked out looking at Faiz who was still standing in front of the cigarette shelf - who was also staring at him, then continued to step out through the door and Faiz followed him.
"I go first!" After locking the iron door, Atika glanced at Faiz who was again sitting on the motorcycle seat. He then stepped leaving Ian but his step stopped because Faiz ran his bike and blocked his path.
"Good, I'll take you!" Faiz's word without turning to Atika who looked shocked because of Faiz's sudden movements.
"G.no need. I'll walk, deket gini."
"Good!" This time Faiz looked at him coldly and expressionlessly as if to convey that he did not want to be denied, making Atika advance her lips and then rise to the back seat.
"Hand!" Faiz's word again and Atika holding both shoulders then he stuck the gas making Atika almost strayed back and reflexively hugged Faiz's waist, and Faiz only smiled faintly feeling Atika's hand perfectly coiled up to her stomach.
"Slow down napa!" Atika then released her hand from Faiz's waist which again smiled faintly and did not respond to Atika.
It did not take time until they arrived in front of Atika's house which already looks dim because it leaves the porch lights on. Atika got off the bike and thanked Faiz who had driven him.
"Tools..." Not yet had time to say thank you, Faiz had turned the direction of his motorbike and drove it away from Atika who was still standing staring at his back until he turned.
"..sih" Atika continued, although it was no longer possible to be heard by Faiz, who had disappeared from view and breathed a sigh of rage and entered the house.
