I'm Not Him

48

The morning was bright, as usual Yudi came to the restaurant early to check on the lack of ingredients. Stopping in front of the restaurant, Yudi gaped in disbelief at what was happening. He saw Adam one of the kitchen crew sitting down holding his head. Yudi's eyes turned to a restaurant that was already spoiled. Step by step made him increasingly see severe damage to the restaurant.

Yudi picked up his phone and contacted Vero.

"Can you come here sooner?" pinta Vero's.

He hung up the phone and sent me some of the worst-hit photos of the restaurant.

Vero who was sipping his coffee, immediately stood up and took his jacket and helmet. At high speed he drove towards the restaurant.

"What's going on?" ask Adam.

"Well, chef, I just came and everything is like this" Adam replied.

Then came Fajri and the rest of the crew. They were also very surprised by the sight.

"God! What the hell's going on?" ask Fajri.

"Nobody knows, we just came" Adam replied.

Yudi contacted Arumi and Dila to come immediately. Then it wasn't long before Vero arrived and saw how he was.

He was weak and could not say anything. The restaurant was brutally destroyed. All the glass broke, none left untouched. Tables and chairs were broken, eating and cooking utensils were damaged in such a way. Only the warehouse is intact because the key is in Adam. That's the door they tried to break.

Vero reported everything to the police. All employees including Fajri, Yudi, Arumi and Dila, were ordered to return home. Yet they silently looked at Vero who frowned staring at all this chaos.

They all went out, but did not come home. Yudi suggested waiting for the police and help clear the restaurant after the police checkup.

Rania prepares breakfast for everyone with Hedi. Hedi unceasingly thanked Rania for persuading Beni to take her to Jakarta. He gets close if he wants to go home at any time.

"Stop thanking me, my brain is full of all your tone!" rania was upset.

Hedi smiles.

"Dila is really good!" said Hedi.

He prepared Rania's favorite meal for breakfast. Rania received her plate and smiled.

Everyone came out of his room and headed towards the dining room. Dina ran and helped bring the rest of the cooking to be served. Always have to help a little.

Beni sat down and tidied up her cutlery, and so did Anita. While the last Bondan comes, looking at Rania in his eyes always looks beautiful. Their eyes met as everyone focused on eating, Rania turned her eyes back on the food, while Bondan smiled happily even though he only stared for a moment.

"Good Morning!" he said he was fluent in Indonesian.

Anita looked at him lazily. Dina raised both of her eyebrows as she was eating. While Beni answered her brother's greeting.

"Bang Morning!"

Rania just kept quiet and continued eating.

"Do you have an event today?" ask Bondan.

Anita looks at.

"You want to celebrate our move here?" guess Anita.

"Of course momi, there's a lot I want to do!" said Bondan while glancing at Rania.

Rania was speechless Bondan reminded her of their previous conversation.

"Momi can't, momi is done" said Anita.

He finished with his breakfast and went to his room. Beni stared at his disappearance, but Bondan caught up with him.

"Momi's fine, isn't she?" ask Bondan to worry.

"Why? Do you care if Momi is okay or not?" anita was upset.

"Momi's still upset that I agreed to a move here?"

"You're adults, momi has no right to forbid or force you again"

Anita went into her room and closed the door without letting her child in and letting her go. Bondan was silent right in front of the door.

Remembering the first time he met Anita, Ardiana took him as a woman who got his love after giving up the departure of his beloved wife Hana.

Bondan, who has good qualities as a result of his mother's upbringing, smilingly looked at him from a distance. Anita sees him but turns her eyes elsewhere and returns to talk to her father's acquaintances by hooking his hand on Ardiana's arm.

Bondan walked backwards bit by bit and returned to the dining table. He ate with a gloomy face, yet the one who noticed only Rania. Dina had already returned to her room after helping bring her own plate to the sink.

Beni left the dining table and went back to her room. He still ignored Rania which upset him yesterday. Rania stared at Beni's departure and finished her meal.

He could not stop thinking about what happened, Bondan was so excited to say his intention to celebrate their arrival to Jakarta, now changed drastically with his gloomy face.

Bondan stopped eating, rubbed his lips with a napkin then stood up. As she turned around she stopped, Rania looked at her back, thinking maybe Bondan remembered to say something she had forgotten about him.

"Hedi! Make me coffee, take it to the workspace above" said Bondan.

Rania was disappointed, she sighed and continued her breakfast, she finished the specially made dishes for her. At least if no one liked the morning treat, he could make Hedi feel appreciated.

Rania helps Hedi tidy up the table, but her eyes can't hold back while Hedi is preparing coffee for Bondan.

"On! You keep this up, let me take the coffee upstairs"

Rania couldn't stand it, she wanted to ask Bondan about her gloom. Hedi nodded and let Rania do it.

Rania walked quickly to Bondan's study. He knocks slowly.

"Lake in!"

There was the sound of Bondan letting in. Rania walked in slowly and put her coffee on the table. Rania saw that she was busy at work, she paused her intention to ask and turned around to leave.

Bondan, who was looking for a file in the new closet behind his desk, stopped when he saw the reflection of Rania's shadow in his closet.

Bondan turns around and circles the table and hugs Rania.

"You!" rania was surprised.

"Hmmm! Diem was a minute" Bondan's pinta.

For a while, Rania lets Bondan hug her and rests her chin on her head.

"What's wrong?"

Bondan who closed his eyes was surprised and opened his eyes.

"So so eager to make a celebration, but Abis nganter aunty Anita so moody"

Bondan took off her embrace and turned Rania's body and looked at her with a smile.

"So...are you watching me?"

Rania sighed and felt trapped.

"It's not so!"

"Thank you!"

Bondan hooks Rania's hair to her ears.

"I'm nothin! There will be no event, momi is not feeling well like her mood is not good"

Rania raised both eyebrows.

"Okay, if that's me going back down. Hedi asked for a monthly shopping transfer" said Rania.

He took off Bondan's hand and turned around.

"I love you, Rania!" bondan.

Rania's steps came to a halt, she turned back and looked at Bondan with her eyes round. Bondan just smiled, he went back to look for the file in the closet. Rania sighed for a moment, then left.

Below, Beni was sitting in the living room playing her laptop. He was still indifferent as Rania passed by with Hedi about to leave.

"Do you remember the market here?" ask Rania.

"Ngga the mba! That's why I asked for anther"

"Sih, just asked for this. The market is a traditional market. If the self-service is sometimes not complete" said Rania.

Beni heard her voice and stopped typing, she glanced and gulped because she felt that Rania was ignoring her. He shuts down his laptop hard when Rania and Hedi are out.

"He's totally indifferent!" beni was upset.
