Love Lavender

KNOW MORE ABOUT

Today, all of La Tansa's caffe employees visited me at the hospital. Verra, Mas Andre and Mas Zidan are no exception.

Then, one by one they came home, only Verra, Mas Andre and Mas Zidan who were each henchmen accompanied me.

I typed something on my phone and showed it to Mas Zidan.

[I'm sorry, 'cause I fell, I screwed things up, and I fucked you up.]

He smiled softly and shook his head.

“Don't say so, his name was also an accident, no one knows. Don't think about it.”

I'm nodding.

“Oya La, can I ask you something?” ask Mas Zidan. He sat on the chair right beside me, while Verra and Mas Andre stood to my left.

[By me, please ask me what]

“Why do you always wear a mask? If it's a veil, maybe I can understand, it's about your faith. But if the mask, somewhat how is it.”

I fell silent, and glanced at Verra.

“Already La, you are honest,” cetus Verra.

I glared at him.

“Why? You should be the story, why should be afraid,” added Verra.

Mas Zidan frowned.

“Fear? What's the matter?”

Well, I'm confused about how to talk to Mas Zidan. There is no way I can be honest if Mika told me to, Mas Zidan will scold her.

“Bu Mika who told Lani to use Mas Mask!” chirps Mika.

Oh, my God, Verra was honest. Suddenly I was upset with his behavior.

“What does Verra say?” ask Mas Zidan later.

I shook my head strongly, and pinched Verra's arm.

“Aww ... ih pain La!” Verra grimacing.

“If it is true that Mika told you to, it makes sense. That means you're not weird. Honestly, the first time I met you with this appearance makes me feel uncomfortable, because you are like a person who is sorry for illness, every day should wear a mask hehe ...”.

I scratched the nape that wasn't itchy.

“Keep, the reason he did this to you why?”

I'm speechless.

“Say La, otherwise. I'll say it.”

As soon as I held Verra's hand, gestured to her, so as not to say anything about Mika. Looking at me who was beginning to tear up, Verra burst into tears and fell silent.

Tuk ... Tuk.

[Mika really likes cleanliness, and I'm always sensitive if there is a little dust, so I often sneeze recklessly. Maybe, Mika is afraid of customers so illfeel, so I must wear a mask. So Mas.]

Although his facial ripples looked incredulous, Mas Zidan nodded.

Verra's red face was extinguished holding back the anger towards me. It seems, after Mas Zidan leaves, I will be his moons, my goodness!

“You're healing fast huh La. Let's go to the barbeque next week. Mas Zidan, held the event to be more familiar with the employees,” said Mas Andre.

“Asianiik!” Verra clapped her hands excitedly, she did like the kind of food that was burned.

I nodded with a smile.

Mas Zidan glanced at his watch.

“Udah want this afternoon, me and Andre go home first yes, mepet healed."

[Yes, thank you for everything, may Allah reward you with a better one.]

“Aamiin. Ndre Yu! Eh Verra, we go first huh?” mas Zidan.

“Iya, Mas. I'm here nemenin Lani.”

“Good. Take care ya yam”, said Andre.

Verra's cheeks suddenly turned red. Huh, you bucin!

They compactly called out greetings then left me both with Verra.

“Ver, thanks yes, you want to be here nemenin me.”

“Sama-sama Beib, I might not be willing to leave a cute creature like you. Now, open the mask, make me look at it.”

I chuckled and took off my cloth mask.

"You owe me an explanation, why not be honest with Mas Zidan about Mika's bad behavior with you."

“Ayuk!”

Verra got up and took the mushaf out of her bag of shells, while I was picking up my mushaf.

“What letter La?”

I connected my eyebrows, opening the mushaf sheet, looking for a letter to read.

“Annisa’ aja. Take turns yes, I'm one letter, you're one letter.”

“Oce!”

I said ta’awudz and bismillah. Then read the letter of Annisa verse 1.

“Ya~~ayyuhan-naasuttaquu rabbukumullazii khalaqakummin nafsiw wahidatiwwa khalaqa minhaa zaujahaa wabatsa min humaa rijaalan katsiiraw wanisa~a. Wattaqullaahaadzii tasaa~ aluuba bihii wal arhaam. Innallaha kaana ‘alaikum raqiiba.”

(O man! O fear your Lord who created you from one self (Adam), and (God) created his spouse (Eve) from his (self), and from both God bred many men and women. O fear Allah, whom ye ask for one another by His name, and (maintain) family relations. Allah is always watching over you).

POV AUTHORS

Orange color dominates the color in the afternoon.

“Ndre. I want to know Lani closer,” said Zidan who was driving his car.

“You mean?” andre asked as he grabbed a packet of bread and bit him.

Zidan chuckled, he only realized, if from noon did not see Andre eating.

“We continue the chat at the nearest resto. My stomach's a concert!” zidan.

“Yes! Coincidentally Bro, I'm also a laper. Uh but, treated right?”

He just remembered that this is an old date, not yet payday time, while his wallet is thinning.

“Yes, Man. Calm down,” said Zidan in between laughter.

🍁🍁🍁

Veggie burgers, chicken salad avocado, satay, and white rice plus the duo of lemon ice filled their tables.

Andre rubbed his palms, with unblinking eyes.

“Hey, you hungry what's cold? Let's eat.”

Andre ate the burger. Zidan laughed while shaking his head.

“Oya, Bro. Continue the conversation,”ucap Andre with mouth full of food.

“Em ... About Lani huh?”

Andre nodded.

“I'm interested to know her more closely, because Lani seems to be very good. Secretly, I often noticed Lani in the distance. He was diligent in worship, hardworking and not prestigious type. And if you pay attention, he always packs rice and side dishes from food that is not sold out in my cafe. Gendis and his compact friends are weak, if Lani is thin but eats a lot. Turns out, when I followed him secretly, he gave the rice wrapper to a roadside beggar, or a rickshaw brother who looked lonely customers."

Zidan started to enjoy his food.

Andre mendelik's.

“Zi, you're not in love with Lani right?”

Zidan stopped his bribe.

“That's it, first meet him, I feel, Lani is different and special.”

“Yes, Lani is different, she is mute,”celtuk Andre.

“Weh! You know, frontal! If he is mute why, not his will, right? After all, if I fall in love with him, is it wrong?”

Zidan's voice was rising. He was a bit upset by Andre's tone.

“Eits, sorry Bro. I don't mean that, if you love Lani, yes hak lo. But why should he, from what try! He's mute, not to mention wearing a mask, you don't know what his face looks like. If it turns out spotty, pug nose, all advanced teeth, sure still love? Don't look for a cat in a sack, Zi.”

Zidan snorted in annoyance.

“Lo think, what do I love physically? From the beginning I was amazed by his hard work, his religion too, understand me!”

“Hehe ... Aye, yes. Don't make it hard, I'm just convincing your heart. Lani was my most diligent subordinate and never complained. I don't want to, the guy who approached her was just playing around, don't you know?"

Zidan watched Andre's words.

“The burden of Lani's life is heavy, she's the backbone for her grandparents, because her parents are dead. I've thought Lani was a big fan of her own, so don't want to see her sad Bro. So, please dive into your heart, do you really like Lani?”

Zidan was stunned to hear Andre's words.
