Joe was still hesitant about his vision. Physically the woman was very similar to Eva. It was just that his face that was covered by the mask was not clearly visible. But if if she was Eva why didn't she recognize Joe.? He even looks like a stranger to her.
There's no way Eva wouldn't recognize him at all. If you do not recognize Gio, it may be because Gio has grown up now. Unlike her when she was a child 17 years ago.
Joe would almost ask the woman to open the mask but of course it would be considered impolite. When we don't know someone and we ask them to do it. Joe also abandoned his intentions.
In the car Joe and Gio looked at each other as if asking each other "How?
" Gio, Om is still not satisfied to see it more clearly. Om was too curious about what Om was looking at.! joe opened his voice.
" Truss how is dong Om? Gio asked for an opinion instead of answering Joe's curiosity.
" Om gonna come down again and talk to him! he said with confidence.
" Of course? Gio asked doubt Joe's words.
" Have to dong, otherwise tonight Om won't be able to sleep well! steady answer.
" Yes All right. Om's Spirit! Gio cheers on Joe.
Joe emboldened himself to return to the bakery. His resolve is round.
With a step made as brave as possible Joe entered back into the bakery. Seeing that there were guests who entered the store Gia and her mother spontaneously immediately gave a welcome greeting. But when the one who came was the same person who had just been shopping for bread at their place, Eva immediately asked,
" Eh, you're back again? Is there something left in our place? Eva tries to be friendly and polite to every customer who comes.
" Ehh sorry before. My stuff is nothing left behind. I just want to ask? joe answered a little nervously.
" Oh yeah, what do you want to ask? Eva asked again.
" Can I meet you? Ask Joe without further ado.
Seeing the courage and honesty of this man, Eva felt respect and salute. But Eva asked again.
" Why do you want to meet me?
Joe couldn't have answered honestly.
" I just want to get acquainted. Who knows in the future if I need to buy bread so I can contact you directly.! joe tried to find the right reason.
" Okay all right. Your reasons make sense too! answer Eva.
Joe smiled because he felt he had the approval of the person.
" Did you know my name, Evelyn. And my daughter's name is Gia. This little bakery is our own business. We just moved to this city! Eva introduces herself to Joe. Hearing his name mentioned Joe was almost shocked when he mentioned Ev. But it's true that Evelyn's finally.
Although somewhat disappointed at least Joe can be calmer.
" Oh so. My name is Joe and my young niece is Gio, similar to your daughter's name.! Joe introduced himself.
The two of them shook hands as a legitimate sign of their acquaintance.
"If that's how I'll excuse you first. Thank you for being willing to fulfill my request! farewell Joe to Eva.
" All together! reply Eva.
Joe leaves Eva and Gia.
" How about Om? Gio asked after Joe got in the car.
Joe shook his head with a slightly disappointed look.
Gio was also a little disappointed.
" But my heart seems to feel close to that mother Om! he still hopes with hope.
" Yes, Om feels the same way. Moreover, hearing his voice that is so similar to your mother. But honey, she's not your mother. Her name is Evelyn and her daughter is Gia, just like your name! Joe told Gio the information he had heard from the woman earlier.
" Oh yeah. How can it look almost like that, Om!? Eva-Evelyn, I-Gia.! Gio asked while thinking to himself in his mind.
Joe is also a mangosteen, trying to understand the events that he thinks there is a little awkwardness.
Gio started the engine and left the place.
While Eva or Evelyn still ringing considering the meeting. There was something he felt but was unable to express. The face of the man who invited her to meet earlier seemed to be very familiar in his brain. But his brain was very slow to respond.
" Ma, um what was it? Ask Gia
"It's okay, baby. It's just that Mama seemed to have met this person but Mama forgot when and where! answer Eve/Evelyn.
They each returned to activity.
Later that night at dinner with his father, Gio tells Evelyn about him.
" Well, we met a woman who looked a lot like you! Grego who was initially focused on his food, after hearing the word Mother, he raised his head and saw Gio.
And Gio knew what that gaze meant.
" The woman's name is Evelyn, she has a daughter named Gia, ! Gio told Grego about the woman and her daughter.
Grego, who is initially indifferent, is busy with his own world, turning into a little more attention.
" Where did you meet them? Ask Grego. It turned out that he was also overwhelmed with curiosity.
" They opened a bakery in Yah City. Gio had also just bought their bread. It tastes the same as the taste of food that is often made by Mother! said Gio.
Grego just nodded his head.
Then they tell each other other things.
While Joe is still pensive while imagining a meeting with the woman.
Even if the woman has introduced who she is, there are still things that make her want to know more.
I don't know why his heart said that something was hidden. And he was very, very curious to know what secret was hidden.
Joe had already begun to think about what he should do to meet again and talk to the woman.
It is impossible to just buy bread.
This longing may sometimes make people think without logic. Thinking about things that might get less attention.
Joe closed both his eyes. And his mind goes back to those times when he was with Eva.
Times that will never be replaced or paid for with material. At least those memories gave her happiness in her heart. Not because it failed to move on but there are some things that must always be remembered as special memories in his life.
Bitter or sweet memories all teach the meaning of life. Giving us life lessons we don't get when we're in school or college.
Life experiences are the best teachers who do not give us bad grades.
