Povs. Aini
This afternoon the weather was very hot, the sun was just above the crown. This situation is the reason the restaurant where I work is becoming more and more crowded because many people choose to cover for a moment even if just ordering a cold drink. All of us restaurant workers are very busy and there is no time to slow down. Until someone called me from one direction and he was one of my coworkers. He pointed to one corner he said a new customer came and ordered a drink while he was still busy with other orders so that he could not serve the customer and he threw his duty at me.
Then I immediately came to the customer he had pointed at, but there is something that makes me very surprised but can not be evaded anymore, that is because the customer is none other than Farenzy and he has already seen and recognized me. I'm stuck.
"Here..!" Suddenly he called my name and it made me even more unable to step away from him. Until I had to answer it.
"Come, yes, yes." I'm still nervous about not believing this meeting.
"Where have you been Ai?" Farenzy asked me as she stared fixedly at me and then she pulled my body into her arms. But I feel uncomfortable because it's not worth this he did to me.
"What's your problem here?" I tried to divert the conversation and melt the atmosphere.
"What are you doing here, Ai?" He asked me back.
"I work here." My answer.
And for a while we just kept quiet maybe we dissolved in our feelings. He did not believe in our meeting. There was a happy look on his face but it seemed like he was trying to hide it from me.
"Can you come out for a minute, Ai?" Suddenly Farenzy asked me to come out.
"What's wrong?" I asked because I didn't know what it meant to ask me to come out for a while.
"I need Ai." The answer.
"Emm fifteen minutes to rest for me, I can wait a minute." Told him.
"Alright Ai then I'll wait." He answered with a smile that I could hardly understand.
Then I left Farenzy, and went back to serving the rest of the guests. Every now and then I glanced at him I saw that he seemed to be very upset. Farenzy seemed very agitated no matter what she wanted to tell me. The fifteen minutes I promised him were here. And I took my break. I approached him.
"Mas, I can rest now." I greeted him.
"Let's talk outside." Farenzy took me and led my hand out of the restaurant where I worked.
We walked around the park beside the restaurant, the cool air greeted gently caressing, very felt. Then we sat down on a chair that was in the garden. Farenzy looked at me very closely with her ever-expanding smile.
This made me feel even more rowdy, I was unable to avoid her gaze. Slowly but surely there was a beat that seemed to echo in my chest. My blood rippled but my whole body seemed stiff. Could this be a sign of long-saved longing. Then I tried to pull my body so that there was some distance between us.
"What's wrong, he said there's something to talk about?" I asked Farenzy to try to melt the atmosphere.
"Hmmm.. Emm.. Yes Ai, there really is something we need to talk about." The answer is still in a nervous tone.
"Grandma is sick again Ai. He's waiting for you to come back home." Farenzy changed her seat, now we were facing each other and she ate me as if she had convinced me that what she had just said was true. But my heart doesn't believe me so easily.
"Oh, so if it wasn't for Grandma Mas Farenzy wouldn't be looking for me?" I asked him.
"No. That's not what I meant. Since your departure I even neglected all my work just to find you Aini. I even lost all my taste, just finding you was my only goal. And plus grandma's back in pain from losing you Ai." Farenzy grabbed both of my hands and held them tightly. Real tight.
"Why am I so sure Grandma is sick because she feels like she's lost me? Isn't there Nasya's biological granddaughter?" I'm trying to avoid Ferenzy's explanation of grandma.
"Here, please believe me ! Do you really not love me anymore?" Farenzy looked back at me closely and now there was a puddle floating in both corners of her eyes. Then he fell down and slowly rubbed his eyes.
"You and Nasya will never be the same in Grandma's eyes. You're special Ai. Especially for me. You are everything. How can I live my life without you?" Farenzy reassured me.
"Geez.."
I laughed, amused to hear Farenzy's words earlier. It seems like it's too much.
"Here? What are you laughing at? Good. It's up to you to laugh at me like whatever I don't care because I just said what it is, which actually happens without you knowing Ai."Farenzy chimed in my laughter.
"Mas Farenzy, if the arrival of the mas is only for that then now also mas please leave. And tell grandma that I won't be able to come back with your family. I have another job now. And I'm so happy to be out of your family's neighborhood. Oh yeah, thanks for everything you've ever given me. Thank you for all your kindness." My light.
Then I got up and got up from my seat, I intended to just leave the Farenzy mas which only made my heart even more upset. I'm sick of all the words and also talk. But suddenly Farenzy pulled my hand. Until I was restrained and returned to my original sitting position.
"Here, I beg you." He wailed in front of me.
"I'm sorry my break is just around the corner and I need to get back in." Told him.
"Alright Ai, forget it with the taste that exists or ever existed between us. Let's just say you never knew me or consider me your brother. But please come back for grandma. And if you can't give me an answer right now then just call me whenever you're ready to go back. My grandmother and I are always waiting for you." His kill.
"Yes later I will tell the biamsa or not I will come back to you. But please don't expect too much for that." My answer.
"Alright Ai, I'm waiting for you." Mas Farenzy looked at me softly.
"Okay, I think it's enough and now can I go?" I say goodbye to him.
"All right, please." The answer.
Then I left so I just left him, I don't know my heart is really sad and not ready to cure it even by force.
