Meet Haifa 2
Askelan nodded, then sat face to face with Lintani at the kitchen table, a place that the servants used to enjoy dishes for them. He ate the cake made by Mo and Lintani slowly. It was as if the food was too dear to spend.
“What cake is good?” ask Lintani?
“Yes. We always eat cakes like this first, if we get more money. Mom will make it for me.”
“Oh, you deserve to enjoy it so much.”
For a moment of silence, Askelan waited for a question from Lintani, about this dinner, but, repeatedly she glanced at him, the girl looked completely indifferent.
Lintani is reluctant to ask about what they will do tonight, even if it's Haifa. Although, actually curious, but, he felt useless to ask, would not it be better not to know than to find something painful. Whatever it is, she will follow him, just know, whether there is hope to continue together or not.
If Askelan had said it, he must have prepared it, right? Thought Lintani.
Askelan had already finished two large pieces of cake on her plate, Lintani served her well until just as she was about to turn around, the girl pushed her wheelchair.
“Let me be alone, prepare yourself,” Askelan said as she patted the back of Lintani's hand that was on the push of the chair.
“What should I prepare, I have taken a shower, dinner is still a long time!”
“Terdenah, but, this is your first show to go with me, right?”
Lintani finally let go of her handrails on the push of the chair. He wondered why the man had asked him to prepare. Wouldn't they be with Haifa, why dress up so well, if only a loser later. That's how his mind talks.
Even though he did not understand, let alone reluctantly asking, Lintani still went to the back room, to meet Mo. There she saw the woman who was more than middle-aged, folding a purple dress that was so elegant.
Mo just made sure the clothes that had just arrived that day were from designers, not flawed and completely tidy. However, Lintani frowned when she saw the design, color and size of the evening dress that was similar to the clothes that had been designed by herself in Elliyat's lifetime.
“Nona, beautiful is not this plan, you will be the center of attention if you wear it tonight!”
Lintani is silent and touches the dress carefully, she hopes the design is found. Then, he sewed and sold his own clothes. It's exciting, being a designer and he'll be famous for his work. Realize Elliyat's dream and show off her wedding dress at all times.
“Who makes these clothes, Bi? Is she a fashion designer?” asked Lintani while sticking the shirt to her body while looking at the large mirror near the window.
“Not, he's just a professional tailor, he said, someone who designed then Mr. Askel who bought all the materials. And be this amazing dress!”
“Did he buy it himself, Bi?”
“It seems not, he definitely asked his subordinates who chose and bought it!”
Lintani nodded several times, a person like Askelan would not be able to go to the market or boutique just to look for clothing materials, right? Her thought. However, behind that thought, his heart was delighted, as if Askelan cared about his lost design then, had someone else sew a special suit for him.
“Nona, sit down, I'll take care of your hair and skin!”
“For what?”
“Relax, Miss, Master will make you a special person tonight!”
Hearing Mo say so, Lintani chuckled, laughing at herself. Mo didn't know what her employer's smile and laughter meant, but, clearly, he saw there was a ray of happiness in his eyes.
Mo lurks Lintani's hair with three strands, then, making her a nice bun on Lintani's head, she leaves a little child of hair near the ears as a sweetener. The woman knew Askelan's taste for not liking the girl with a thick face, so she polished Lintani with soft makeup.
Lintani breathed a sigh of relief as Mo finally said if all was well and lastly she put on a shirt. She felt like she was wearing a dress she had designed herself, but, how could that person make it exactly the same when the picture was gone.
Mo gave a matching handbag, making the mirrored Lintani turn her head.
“For what carry bag, I have nothing to carry.”
“Nona, this is from Sir, just accept!” Mo tucked the handle of the bag in Lintani's hand, which immediately made the contents. It turned out that there was already a mobile phone, and a wallet containing a credit card and a new identity sign.
Lintani smiled with satisfaction, she felt like she was a real wife. Her lips smiled as she looked at her reflection in the mirror.
It was getting dark by the time Lintani and Mo finished doing a series of grooming and embellishing on the clothes. After that he left, waltzing to the porch of the house to wait for Askelan who turned out to be in his car.
Jordan opens the car door for Lintani and lets her sit right next to Askelan. Various feelings arose in his mind which, not in any doubt, knew Haifa was coming.
“Fetch the woman,” Askelan said as Lintani was sitting comfortably, and Jordan started driving the vehicle.
“Who are we going to pick up, Jod? Isn't dinner usually just the two of you? Lintani asked Jordan, but, her eyes glanced at Askelan in annoyance.
Jordan just put his shoulder out.
“Do you want a date with us too, so we double date, yes?”
“No, Miss, I have no lover!”
Jordan had several times glanced at Askelan from the rearview mirror in front of him, but he still did not understand the intention of his master was to invite two women who were clearly opposite dinner together.
However, Lintani should be aware and understand how she is positioned for Askelan from their sitting position. Everything was clear, when Haifa and the girl were already waiting, restlessly in front of her house. To his surprise he saw that the one sitting at the side of the lover in the back seat was the one who had been his rival.
“Askel Darling, we want dinner where?” haifa asked in a soft voice as usual. He sat next to Jordan in the front passenger seat, so when talking to Askelan he had to look back.
“Later you will also know,” said Askelan sounding indifferent.
“I'm curious Honey, I've dressed like now as you want, I think we'll be safe at Lafonte Restaurant!”
“Yes! We're going there!” askelan again.
Such a conversation alone had made Lintani upset, let alone something else. But with all his heart he held back. Previously she felt no need to be jealous if Askelan was with Haifa, then, they made out before her, because she was only a temporary wife. So, they had the right to do anything and, he had no reason to bother.
However, Askelan decides to maintain the relationship and asks her to stay together, even though, her mother is gone. Of course, it is natural that Lintani then feels she has the right to disagree with what Askelan did to her.
‘Why should there be Lin here?’ inner Haifa was upset. He could not see how Lintani's facial expression was right behind him.
“Lin, are you okay?” ask Haifa. The girl looked so appreciative of Lintani, even though her heart was as hot as a burning iron.
