LOVE OF ORDINARY MEN

Refusing to shake hands

“Mas, I called Leon first huh. Want mastiin if she daunted her here nyamperin us,” said Olivia.

“OK. Eeh... Where do you want to call?” alzam asked as he turned his head and saw the wife who was about to walk out.

“Outside. If here, I'm afraid to make visitors uncomfortable the same way we both talk. Hehehe...,” says Olivia.

“Oh... Yes already. But don't go far yes,” cried Alzam.

“Ngak. Just in front. Bentar yah,” sahut Olivia.

Alzam just nodded and got back busy with his business, while the wife came out and started talking to her best friend.

When Olivia had just greeted Leon across the street, someone came and walked into the tavern, unaware of Olivia's presence there, due to the girl's appearance being much different than usual.

“Hai, Bro,” said to Alzam who was sitting in the corner.

The young man turned his head and looked at the person he had known recently.

“Oh, Hi. How are you doing? Just look at you again?” tanya Alzam is friendly.

He even ended his work first, and approached the person. Alzam, who was always friendly, accepted the person's presence without any suspicion, and invited him to sit in one of the empty seats.

“What do you drink?” ask Alzam.

“Regular aja. Espresso,” said the person who is none other than Nathan.

Alzam calls Amy, who is still busy behind the barista table, and orders what Nathan asks for.

“Sorry that I rarely come here. I just got back from Germany. Biases. There is a little business there,” Nathan said.

“Bener-ener successful entrepreneurs. I salute you the same. Still young, but already can lead a big company,” praise Alzam.

“Don't praise me. My personal life is not as good as my career. The proof is I'm still single. There is precisely irony,” he replied.

“Are you still trying to get your married ex?” ask Alzam.

“Why not? I'll never give up. Even if he doesn't want to accept me anymore, I still have a lot of ways for him to finally come back to me.” Nathan replied.

“Why not try to open your heart to others? Isn't that very bad, expecting someone else's?” ask Alzam.

“Oh come. We'd better not discuss this, because you and I don't agree with this matter. Oh yeah, how are you doing with wife?” ask Nathan.

“It so happens you ask. He came with me today here,” Alzam said.

“Really?” ask Nathan.

He even looked to the right and left, as if he knew the figure of Alzam's wife, even though the young man had never introduced her, even showing a photo of Olivia was not.

“He's not here right now. He said he wanted to call his friend in front. Wait a minute,” exclaimed Alzam.

“Ehm, yeah. It must be nice to meet this amazing woman who is your wife,” Nathan said.

An employee brought the order to the table, where Alzam and Nathan were. The man took the still-steaming cup and blew it, then drank it slowly, while hiding his evil grin behind the lip of the cup.

Soon, the door opened and the bell rang. Alzam spontaneously turned his head and looked at the wife who had entered back into the tavern with an expanding smile as she looked towards the husband.

However, suddenly the woman stopped and suddenly stiffened, when she saw the person sitting in front of her husband.

Although it had been separated for a long time, but the silhouette of the person was so firmly embedded in Olivia's brain. He recognized the figure even though the man was behind him.

Poking me. Why are people here? inner Olivia.

His brain tried to make his body immediately blur, but his eyes saw the husband who continued to look at him.

How do you escape? Al has seen me enter, the time suddenly wants to turn right. She'll definitely be there later, Olivia's mind again.

He saw a box of free masks provided by the tavern, and then he put them on to cover a part of his face.

He then walks by trying to be ordinary, even though in his heart he is so shaky, afraid that Nathan will uncover the secrets of his past in front of Alzam right then and there.

“This is my wife,” Alzam said.

Nathan raised his face and turned to the direction where a woman had just appeared.

The man was surprised to almost spout the coffee that had just been put in his mouth. Nathan sees a woman wearing a full robe with her hijab, plus a mask covering her face.

Although only the eyes are visible, but he is very familiar with the sharp and brave eyes.

Although in a state of fear and trembling, Olivia did not want to feel intimidated at all. He was actually getting sharper looking at his opponent with a bold gaze, so that the opponent did not easily attack him.

Alzam stood up and embraced his wife's shoulders affectionately.

“Honey, this is my friend who I told you at that time,” said Alzam.

Nathan wakes up and tries to shake hands with Olivia.

“Hai, what to.. bar..,” greet Nathan.

Olivia did not reach Nathan's hand, but cupped both palms in front of his chest.

“Alhamdulillah, fine. Sorry, I can't shake hands with any man other than my father and husband,” Olivia said.

It was a blow to Nathan himself. The distance with Olivia seemed to be getting further, coupled with the changes that occurred to the woman.

Si*lan's. He begins to learn the rules of his religion, Nathan's mind is not happy.

“Mas, I sit at my desk just yeah,” Olivia told Alzam.

“Ya already,” says Alzam.

“Excuse me,” says Olivia.

The woman then turned around and walked towards the table she had previously occupied. His heart was still unsettled, afraid that Nathan would suddenly be desperate because of the rejection given by Olivia again.

He was very sure that the man knew who Alzam's wife really was. Plus the existence of a stalker who until now still continues to let him follow him, to outwit the enemy and make it appear by itself.

But who would have thought. After getting a rejection from the ex, Nathan who was upset tried to behave as calmly as possible, but he immediately left the store on the grounds there was another busyness.

“Please stop by again next time,” says Alzam.

The young man drove his ex-wife out of the tavern, with a friendly attitude.

Olivia felt so guilty seeing that. Her good husband was not supposed to be a b*doh between her and the former.
