LOVE OF ORDINARY MEN

Overslept

Elsewhere, precisely in a special room staff of a tavern, a young man appeared lying down to hear a soft snoring sound that appeared from his direction.

The clock showed at half-time. Visitors to the tavern began to be quiet, after it was so crowded, considering the time for lunch and rest for Harapan Bangsa campus students.

The workers began to take turns two or three people for lunch and dzuhur prayer, considering the time was very tight.

At that time, it was the turn of the female workers who rested first. They choose to pursue prayer time, before lunch.

they take ablution water first in the bathroom in turns, and bring their prayer equipment into the khsus staff room they used to make a place of prayer, as well as for the rest room.

When they got there, they saw someone was asleep with a prayer mat still stretched and became a pedestal.

A worker with a name tag reading 'Amy' was among them, trying to get close and see who it was.

“Kayak Pak bos,” terka Amy, when you see a glimpse of the clothes worn by that person.

When making sure that it was her boss, Amy went back out after her colleagues, and called Abas, the senior.

He could not have awakened Alzam, besides he already had ablution, moreover the young man was his superior and there was no way he could have carelessly awakened his boss.

“Bang, the boss is sleeping in the dalem tuh. Wake up dong,” pinta Amy on Abas, who at that time was replacing him behind the barista table.

“Waahhh... Pantesan from earlier he was not nongol-nongol out of permission to pray duha. Sleeping in sono. Semalem out overtime beronde-round times yes same bininya,” sahut Abas origin.

“Dih, the brother. Even thought that. How is this hunt? Want to be built do we look for a mosque or mushola aja nih?” ask Amy.

Abas saw the clock on the barista's desk. Now it's even two and a half more.

“Let me wake up. After a long time also sleep,” said Abas.

The young man walked towards the staff room and woke up Alzam. Slowly, Abas tries to shake his boss' shoulder, until Alzam reacts and wakes up.

A groan came out of Alzam's mouth. The young man suddenly woke up when he had just opened his eyes. He turned to the side and saw Abas, the clerk who was crouching right in front of him.

“Astaghfirullah, Bass. I overslept. Sorry,” said Alzam.

He tried to get rid of his dizziness and drowsiness, before standing up and leaving the room.

“Yes no papa, Boss. Semalem's kekannya not sleeping well? Hehehe...,” says Abas.

“Why laugh? Don't think about the dong,” said Alzam.

“Neither is papa. There is this wife. It's natural, boss. Hehehe...,” says Abas.

That made Alzam flinch. He smiled faintly at the employee teasing him like that, as if confirming that something should have happened between him and Olivia.

“Iissh! Already ah. Oh yeah, what time is it?” ask Alzam.

“Udah wants two o'clock, which is why I woke up. Children want to pray but can not because there is the boss again sleep,” replied Abas.

“Oh, yes sorry. Hehe... Eeeeeehhh... What time was it?” asked Alzam who suddenly seemed to remember something.

“Nearly two hours, Boss,” says Abas.

Netra Alzam was rounded with enlarged pupils, hearing answers from her employees. He soon woke up without caring about the dizziness in his head.

Alzam got out of there and went back to his desk. He was looking for a cell phone he had stored in a bag. Alzam's habit when going to pray is to always install a silent mode on his phone, until he finished praying then it will be changed back to ring mode, so that the prayer is not disturbed.

How panicked he was at the sight of the many calls, all from his wife. He also rubbed his face rough and massaged the base of his nose that still felt dizzy.

“Astaghfirullah hal adzim. Fifty more missed calls. He must have waited for me from earlier,” murmured Alzam.

His eyes then caught a chat message coming in at the last minute. He opened it and saw a chat from his wife.

Alzam then sent a reply to Olivia.

After sending a reply message to his wife, Alzam asked Abas to make a secankir espreso. While waiting for her order to be completed, she took the ablution water and dzuhur prayer in the staff room, after Amy's entourage was finished.

After the prayer, Alzam drank his coffee and ate a blueberry muffin which was also prepared by Abas as his coffee companion.

He knew that the boss had not eaten anything since noon due to overslept. After finishing his coffee and muffins, Alzam told Abas to pick up his wife.

...☕☕☕☕☕...

At the Nusa Bangsa campus, Olivia since the break had continued to put on a sullen face even until the last class. Leon who sat next to him could only shake his head, because Olivia's frustration was bestowed on his classmates who had since received a turn forward presentation.

Olivia bombards questions that even make some people fail and confused to answer.

She's not a bod*h girl. Academic value is always good, even every presentation is always well presented and reap praise from lecturers.

However, just because of his attitude and nature alone that made him shunned, and not even anyone would want to be close friends with him.

Especially when he was upset, surely everything around him was affected like now.

She was upset that she still could not contact her husband, causing him to vent his frustration by attacking all-out classmates who were presenting their end-of-term assignments.

“Can't be contacted yet?” ask Leon.

“Au ah dark. Bete me,” said Olivia who still looks upset.

“Try you chat again or phone again,” exclaim Leon.

“Udah from earlier. Where is Nurul?” ask Olivia.

“Udah. He's still in school. For your sake I'm willing to endure the embarrassment of vidcall as well as girls. Lu don't suspect ma Nurul mulu what, Liv?” answer Leon.

“Iya, yes. I'm not nettink anymore ama tuh girl,” says Olivia.

The girl turned back to face forward. Suddenly, he felt a tremor from within his bag. She immediately took the phone from inside, hoping for news from her husband.

When looking at the screen on her screen, her right thumb immediately pressed the incoming chat icon, and sure enough there was a reply from her husband.

In a moment, a smile brightly expands on Olivia's face which has continued to be somber and looks upset.

Leon who saw it immediately knew that his best friend's husband had told Olivia.

The young man could only shake to see the behavior of Olivia who was like a teenager was kasmaran.

While being seen, continue to grin themselves while looking at the chat message many times. He even covered his mouth with a palm, for fear of laughing off the horn happy to get a reply message full of to the chatter from Alzam.

[Sorry, Liv. I fell asleep in the store. It was also built by Abas. You're home at three, right? I pray dzuhur first continue to directly follow you there. Again sorry, my dear. Don't sulk okay, my beautiful wife] Alzam's message.
