Since the morning blind Siska always reminded Meta through chat, if today Lexus arrived from Bali. Although not told over and over again he knew that Saif had arrived today, although he did not know what time he arrived at his house. Can not be sure the clock because the traffic can be jammed. Meta is entering the day shift today and usually every Monday the Mall is not too crowded.
Siska always calls Saif Lexus, not the name of the person but instead the car to name.
" He has the name Siska" he said firmly.
" Yes you know."
" Why do you still mention Lexus?."
" It's funny, it's cool to be called that."
" I think you called the car not the guy."
"Haha... Why don't you just protest people aren't mad."
" Because he doesn't know that you're calling Lexus."
" I'm sure he won't get mad at Meta."
" That's so confident of you."
" Yes Siska must be confident.you don't ask her what's up yet?."
" Neh ah. .. Afraid of disturbing it could be that now he's sleeping."
" Wow you're starting to understand about him "
" Oh my goodness, Siska! anyone knows that all day driving is tired."
" But that's true, right?."
" It's up to you Sis."
" Happy waiting...I'm gonna wash my clothes already, Meta."
" Yes there."
He should have arrived at his house by now it was eight o'clock Meta thought while cutting watermelon.
In the refrigerator there are some fruits Meta want to make a simple fruit salad with mayonaise in sprinkled cia seed, quite delicious in the meal before eating rice.
Not yet had he enjoyed the salad Sila came from the side door of the house, "Meta... I want rice pecel, let's anterin me?," while taking the fruit salad I put in the bowl. " Play comot aja you, for a while I want to enjoy this first." replied Meta with a mouth chewing fruit.
" Where do you want to buy pecel rice?."
" Buy at the Bu Nas shop, just walk?."
" Yes whatever, I want to finish my salad first "
" I help you to quickly run out "See Please take a spoonful of salad and go straight to it.
" Slowly why is Sil !."
After one bowl of fruit salad ludes Meta and Sila walk to the stall Bu Nas. The stall is located on the highway so Meta and Sila have to walk approximately 300m, while walking casually enjoying the atmosphere of their residential area, which they rarely do because of the busy work. Apparently in the area where he lived the atmosphere was like a quiet complex and the houses are now more modern when compared to two years ago. About ten minutes walk up to the Bu Nas warung, a stall that sells various types of dishes that taste good too. Various vegetables and side dishes are available in this shop because many menus are not wrong if this shop is always crowded with buyers.
" Mom I want rice pecel," Sila told the seller.
" How much is neng?."
" You want Meta?." Please pat Meta's shoulder. Because Meta is looking at the passing vehicle.
"Ah yes."
"Two yes, mother."
" What's the meal here in neng wrap?."
" Only wrap it up, ma'am."
" For a moment, neng."
Sila and Meta were sitting in long chairs while waiting for the rice pecel. No need to wait long for two packs of pecel rice then they immediately moved from the stall to return home.
Once they got home they headed to the dining room. " How many days are you on leave?" asked Meta.
" Both-day leave, early-year leave."
" What two days off would you like to have?."
" Later afternoon will go to Bromo with high school friends."
" I want to go there too but always fail, someone fails to fail."
" When you have a boyfriend, you can't fail."
" What's this got to do?."
" Some one will accompany me."
" I forgot you had a new boyfriend."
" Well, is that why I can go, Saif has not returned from Bali?."
" It seems to have been."
" What kind of relationship do you guys say is a close friend, said close also not dating? "
Meta almost choked on hearing Sila's words, hurriedly Meta poured water on the table. He said it was not wrong said Sila.
" Me and him are friends" I replied, putting down the glass.
" Now the friend in the future does not know "
" I don't want to think too far first, you know where you're going?." I asked to see Sila getting up from her seat.
" This is where we used to talk."
Without answering, he walked out of the house waving his hand.
Already at midday Saif has not also told through chat there is a sense of annoyance in the heart of Meta. He should have given news through chat if it has arrived or not. To Siska and Sila he said there was nothing and ordinary feelings for Saif then Why Meta became sensitive when still a day can not be heard from Saif.
Like a person who is confused in his own home would mop the floor of his room instead to the living room, would take a laptop in the room instead of forgetting after entering the room. It was like doing something but it was just wrong, his mind was wandering until he said to himself "stop meta what's wrong with you, " as both hands held his own head and paced around in the room.
" Now you better take a shower to get fresh ready for work...Okay.. Now also grab a towel and go to the bathroom," Meta was still raving to himself. When people are not in peace then it will happen as Meta naturally.
The clock still shows at 12:45 Meta immediately went to work thinking maybe after arriving at the Mall his mind began to be directed and could act correctly. Too early depart to the mall at 13:20 Wib and new entry at 14:05 Wib there is still forty-five minutes to work, and, finally he decided to visit the working Eca shop that was on the third floor. Sport station where Eca works. " Hey Meta tumben here?."
" Yes I came too early so just play here, you've just worked I want to go around who knows there is a suitable one I keep buying."
" Who will accompany you anyway, I'm busy working hehehe."
Meta walks around the Sport station to see all the goods sold, not only one brand but various famous brands that are here. His eyes were fixed on the Reebok stand.
The pink short-sleeved t-shirt with accents that read Reebook looks simple but classy.
Direct Meta take, he stick it on the body and Meta feels it fits this shirt. Indeed, the price determines the quality because all goods in the Sports station are imported.
Meta brought the shirt to the cashier's desk there, "Ca .. I'll take this one but I'll use your name?" Meta pleads with Eca.
Usually if a store employee buys a product in his own store there is an employee discount and it is appreciable between twenty to thirty percent. Therefore Meta asks to buy clothes using the name Eca, quite a discount.
" You don't want to lose Meta."
" It's not like that, but I have friends who work here so you guys."
" Yes, I'm an understanding friend."
" Thank you, Eca, you're good."
" Yes, let's stay here first, I'll take you to your place."
" okay. It's two o'clock I want to work too."
" Oh yes Meta, Irfan was looking for you and asked me what shift you were in and I answered noon."
" Oh okay thanks."
At least for a moment Meta forgot about the thing that made him worry, it's also good that he went for a walk and bought something. Shopping is also one of the stress-relieving factors, although Meta doesn't really experience it just being anxious to someone.
After Meta gets to the store it's time for Cindy to take a break, she's on the morning shift.
" mr was Miss Louisa here, Miss Louisa said that she had come in her chat."
" What time was it here?."
" Eleven o'clock. I'll rest first huh mbak."
" okay."
Meta picks up the phone that is still in the bag and he beats Miss Louisa.
Meta stands behind the cashier's desk, without
meta realized that there was someone watching her. He watches Meta's movements in the store wanting to come to him but is afraid of interfering with Meta's work. He sat across the street enjoying the mocca americano, smiling at Meta who made a funny face while chatting. He still smiles even though he has often seen Meta's face memes because he already knows enough Meta.
Siska was apparently also chatting to Meta asking the Lexus, therefore Meta made a face meme probably because Siska was teasing him.
Not long ago Meta chat and Siska ended there is a chat that was back in on his smartphone. Foreign numbers who chat
" Hey, who's chat?."
With little thought to whose number it was, Meta hesitated to reply. Had thought it was Irfan's number said Eca earlier she was looking for him.
The foreign number returned to chat.
" You're funny when you read chat."
" Do you always have a face meme when you read chat? "
" There's no seat there.Kok just stand?."
Meta looks confused while thinking this who is chatting and is teasing him.
Then he exited the shop looking right-left and around.
" Who is this?, Siska, Eca, Luke, Irfan, Please, Ryo???."
" Maybe."
" Yes it's up but don't bother the workman" Meta still stands in the middle of the store door
" Metas can be bad too?."
Meta still keeps thinking who this guy is, there's no way the friends in his Mall are joking like this.
" You looking for something?."
" Where are you?" Meta still looks around.
This guy's figure did not reply to the chat, he stood up from the seat and left his american mocca at the table, he stood up, walking out of the small cafe towards the glass barrier near the escalator and waving at Meta.
At that instant Meta's gaze towards the figure of the man waving his hands.
" SAY..."
What it's like to wait for someone ....
