Melati At The End of Hope

A challenging day

Episodes 10

It feels human if Chia feels sad for the unexpected events that have happened to her.

While walking slowly Chia left her cake shop, Chia's chest felt claustrophobic. Not because he was jealous of the woman who came running over him, but there was something else. Chia feels lied to by people who should be trusted.

Time is 19:00. Chia was already at her boarding house.

Sitting while sipping a cup of warm chocolate is Chia's choice for a moment to unwind.

While sitting straightening her legs on the sofa, Chia stretched her tense and stiff muscles.

"Hmmm...This warm chocolate is better than a man's sweet promise." Chia talked to herself, her feelings are better now.

At the same time in a different room, Dio kept thinking about Chia. What the hell is it? why hasn't the girl contacted him or at least sent him a short message?

"Is it possible that Chiara is that bad?

Ahh it's impossible."

Dio struggled with his own thoughts.

"Should I be disappointed after so long of longing?" worried Dio.

Have you ever felt disappointed?

Of course, I think the answer is yes.

It is common to come at any time and befall anyone. But what is unusual is the disappointment that is not in the right place.

For example, disappointed because someone does not reciprocate feelings of love for us, or disappointed over the treatment of someone who does not seem to be concerned with our expectations.

all of that is weakness.

Back to the atmosphere in Chiara's room.

"Try there is a father and mother here, a rat bite on my big toe does not feel like it will cause pain" Chiara said.

The ringing tone of the incoming call was heard from Chiara's phone.

An unknown number!

Chiara picked up the phone...

"Hello Assalamu'alaykum, can anyone help?"

"Wa'alaykumsalam (is that what I am for him)?"

"Hello, who is it?"

"Chia, haven't you saved my number yet?"

"Geez, I forgot.sorry Dio" (Chiara recognized Dio's voice).

"I think I've been crossed off the list of people you know" (said Dio quipped)

"Hey, I think I'll soon be the one to be thrown out of your life Dio" (Chiara retaliates).

"If that has to happen, why should I bother gathering my miss for you Chia?"

"I could have given my feelings to another woman and not have to wait this long?"(continue Dio)

"Yes, and you just did it Dio" (sambar Chia voice)

"What do you mean Chia?" (Dio clarifies)

"Ohh it's okay Dio hehehe" (Lengir Chiara)

"Okay, so you want a story on the phone or you want to meet?" (Dio offers)

"News? about what?" (ask Chia again)

"It's about us, about me finding you here, you really don't want to know?" (Dio feels ignored)

"Or maybe...." (Dio stopped)

"OK okay I want to hear the story" (cut Chia).

"So, how can you find me here?" (says Chia)

"Look, princess, finding you is not something that is easy. A month ago I went back to the Village, I came to see my father and mother, I hope the bonus is to meet you too, she said, but it turns out that the mother said her favorite daughter was now not a teenager full of silliness anymore. Now he is learning to be independent by trying to open a cake shop business. And yes, it seems like he succeeded, after that mom gave your cookie shop address to me as well as your mobile number.yes that's the story" (Dio explained).

"Waahh great story" (Chia sneered).

"So you actually have my phone number? but didn't call me to ask, to make your search easier?" (Chia Teachings)

"Why Diorana?" (sobbed Chia was astonished).

"Because I prefer to fight alone first rather than using the help of other people hihi" (Dio is proud).

"If something is difficult, why choose the easy one" (lawak Dio).

Hearing Dio's story, Chia's sadness was reduced.

"But Dio, someone came to my cake shop this afternoon, he claimed to be your lover, and.." (chia's voice began to crazily hold back tears).

"And what's Chia?" (ask Dio).

"and doused me with a bottle of water" (chiara's crying broke).

"Is she a long-haired woman and dressed openly?" (ask Dio). Chia responded with a sob.

"Do you think maybe, I give this feeling that I've nurtured with great difficulty, to a woman that even she doesn't appreciate?" (Dio continued to question Chia without giving a gap to answer).

"Daughter Chiara, I guess I should introduce myself again. Meet Diorana, I am not a man who falls in love easily, except for one woman. (Gombal Dio).

"Of course he, who was listening to my babble," (Dio was satisfied).

"So what should I do?" (said Chira)

"I'll see you in two weeks" (Reply to Dio).

"Now you must be tired, right? rest then.

let me borrow that sad little bit of yours, and don't cry anymore." (Dio calms Chia down).

"Assalamu'alaykum.." (shut Dio).

"Wa'alaykumsalam..." (Chia retaliated).

call's over!

Chia again laid her body on the mattress, like her chest had begun to be relieved now.

His feelings were saved, his eyes gave up and closed.

One...

Two...

Three...

Three days passed with the same activity again and again.

Everything was safely under control, after coming home from the cake shop, Chia bought about twenty packs of rice and chicken for her to share with those who needed it.

It was indeed commonly done as a form of gratitude to God for the sustenance he received.

"Assalamu'alaykum sir Heru. This will be normal yes, you can love anyone who wants, if you want to bring home for mom at home can also, do not forget you eat too." Chia left all the food to be shared by Mr. Heru.

A minimarket parking garage located next to the cake shop.

"Wa'alaykumsalam neng Chia, alhamdulillah thank you very much neng." Sir Heru said thank you.

"Yes sir both. Oh yes sir, this one is for the children in the orphanage near the father's house, and this is for the gas money.hehehehe"

Chia left one brown envelope for the children in the orphanage and some money was given to Heru.

"Well! thanks a lot neng, more smoothly yes business." Mr. Heru is grateful.

"Aamijin! Yes sir, Chia also thank you for helping." Reply Chia.

"Ready neng Chia." Said Mr. Heru enthusiastically.

"That's why Chia came home sir." Chia rushed away.

"Yes be careful." Mr. Heru waved his hand.

"Okay sir, Wassalamu'alaykum" Chia closed.

"Wa'alaykumsalam." Answer heru sir.

Chia and Mr. Heru, have known each other since Chia first opened his cake shop.

On the way home, Chia was confronted by two men with mutam faces aka tampolan faces.

"Heh, hand over the loe money," they said at knife point.

Chia remained calm trying to master the situation.

"Woy was horrified? serahin loe bag or me..." The man threatened.

But before the fuckin' guy finishes talking.

With his strength and martial skills. Chia fought those knifers.

"Hiaaaaaa dezz wa deziggggg..." Kicks, punches and elbow also managed to land Chia on both cheeks and stomach of the true male good name polluters.

They also run away, overwhelmed by overwhelming resistance from Chia.

"Huh, you weak man..."Chia mocked.

prok prok so what? ehh wrong!

Prok prok the sound of applause was heard from the back of Chia, when Chia turned her head to see two child buskers who watched the exciting scene of Chia against two wild thugs.

"Well! brother cool. Thank you, brother" they said.

"Why do you thank me deck?" Tanya Chia was astonished.

"Yes brother, sister managed to teach the same lesson two people earlier brother."Answer them innocently.

"Who are they?" ask Chia to investigate.

"They're masons, brother, pity that the mothers or women are weak. In fact, the money we get is sometimes asked to be with them." The two boys' light.

"Well, it's not right on deck" Chia said.

"yes, her mother." Said the two boys again.

"Okay, this is for you guys." Chiam gave each child one piece of money.

"Thank you very much, brother..." Both boys took the money.

"Together..." Chia answered with a smile.

"You guys be careful, brother go home first." Chiapun headed to his boarding house.

A challenging day.
