Today Hazal plans to meet Helena in person. Questioning his purpose of working in the restaurant, how the woman lived, and all that stuck in the heart of the honey-haired woman will be revealed after his meeting later.
Hazal chose a place away from her restaurant. Because if he interrogates Helena in his restaurant, then it does not demand the possibility that he will be caught by the real perpetrator. Moreover, in the restaurant, Sonia often comes and goes as she pleases without giving any news first.
Hazal enters a Chinese restaurant. The restaurant is classic and far from the city center.
In a corner of the room there was a woman drinking green tea orders while twirling her phone as if waiting for someone.
"Helena".
"Mba Hazal's".
Yes, that woman is Helena. He comes first at the restaurant where he makes an appointment to meet Hazal. The two women shake hands and then sit in their respective places.
"Did Hazal tell me to come to this place?".
Helena looked confused at the woman who was her boss. Last night he suddenly got a call from Hazal, if the woman wanted to meet and talk to him in person and away from the restaurant so that no one would see them.
"There's something I want to ask you". Reply Hazal while putting her bag on the table.
"It is better to order a drink or a meal first. Here the menu is quite good, who knows mba inspired to make our restaurant menu". Tawar Helena before the two women talked about the important thing that the two of them wanted to meet.
"alright. I'll order first".
Hazal calls the waiter to order food and drinks. The woman ordered Chinese noodles that were said to be very famous in the place, the prima donna menu of the classic restaurant.
Then Hazal ordered water and Chinese jasmine tea.
While Helena ordered bakpao filled with Chinese beef and noodles and rice wine drinks that are not intoxicating at all.
Satisfied eating a menu of appetizing food, now the two women continue the conversation that had been delayed.
"So Hazal wants to do it to me?". Ask Helena to open the conversation.
Hazal exhaled before asking. Then the look on the woman's face turned more serious.
"What was your goal in coming to work at my restaurant all of a sudden?".
That question made Helena frown deeply. Isn't it clear that he needs a job?. From the beginning the woman had told him why she worked at the simple woman's restaurant. Why do I have to ask again?. Think Helena.
"Don't I tell you from the beginning that I need a job because I want to help my mom?". Helena replied after a moment of silence.
"I know that. But I want your real answer". Urge Hazal. The woman seemed to be holding something inside.
"But that's my real answer mba. Well, I originally came to Harfei mas because I thought he was not married, I wish there was still a place for me in Harfei's heart. But my mind was wrong. He had found someone right by his side". Helena said sincerely.
Hazal stared fixedly at the brown-eyed bead and tried to break through it so that he could find the lie inside.
"So I decided to take Harfei for Hazal. After all, if I remember what happened, I was very evil and not worthy to be forgiven, but Hazal actually opened the door of forgiveness to a heartless woman like me".
Helena's voice turned soft. His face was sad as if he regretted something in the past.
"A few months ago my mother was sentenced to suffer from advanced breast cancer. I was so panicked and scared. I don't have any experience in working, I'm just a spoiled woman relying on parental assets. But after my mother was sick, my heart was more open that being an independent person was very important despite living with treasures. Because it's not always our position is always at the top".
Hazal hasn't budged. The woman seemed to be enjoying Helena's story.
"So David gave me help with taking my mother to the hospital for intensive care. All the medical expenses of the mother are borne by mas David".
"Virtually every day David came to see me in front of our restaurant to give me money".
One line of tears escaped without excuse on Helena's cheek. The woman feels sad when she remembers her life which is now very inversely proportional if she looked in the past.
"Do you still have feelings for Harfei mas?". Hazal asked finally after a long silence listening to Helena's outpouring of heart.
DEG...
Helena was flabbergasted as she listened to a question she had never thought of.
"What does Hazal mean?. I don't even have the right to admire Harfei. He was like a brother to me, and so was Hazal".
Helena clasped Hazal's hand and looked sincerely at the woman who was his boss.
Hazal returned the gaze with something else, still trying to break through the brown eyes so as not to feel fooled by someone's sweet mouth.
"Do you often use courier services to send something?".
This question made Helena even more confused. The woman's forehead was almost fused together.
"What did Hazal mean to meet me at this place?. I think there's something else that's really important and that's bothering Hazal's mind".
Bingo. Precisely, Hazal's heart trembled upon hearing Helena's question. The woman took off Helena's hand and then drank her jasmine tea to neutralize her feelings. Then put the green cup on the table. Hazal stared at the side window of the restaurant, which revealed a rice field area around the restaurant.
"Actually I came here I wanted to make sure of something".
Hazal exhaled heavily. He seemed unable to say the incongruity in his heart if he remembered how Helena lived based on her story earlier.
"There's someone who terrorized me. For a few months this guy's been sending you pictures of yourself and Harfei's mas".
Hazal opened her purse on the table and took a brown envelope with a picture of her husband and Helena.
Helena took the photo, how surprised the woman when she saw the 3x3 cm object. Helena's hands shook, her knees as if losing strength.
