The days went on, until it did not feel like two months Hazal did not show himself in the store Harfei, it made the man with the face of ba' middle east feel that something was missing from his heart. If every day Hazal visited his shop and protested his messy appearance and his chicken satay shop, but another case now. There is no longer a perfectionist figure that fills the days of the man.
Lina who is his lover was confused about Harfei's attitude. Sometimes he daydreams, sometimes he makes mistakes and blames Wawan who is his employee. As he did today, when Wawan was burning satay, it turned out that the color of the satay was almost black because of soy sauce, but Harfei thought that satay was charred, isn't that common considering this profession has long been in the fight?. It is not surprising that the color satay is almost black because of soy sauce.
"Lord, are you my salary to make my merchandise forfeited?. Look at this satay gosong!". Harfei showed one of the satay baked by Wawan on the young man's face. Wawan's forehead was also wrinkled.
"Bang, it's not charred but it's soy sauce".
"Which said Wawan really bang, why did you become angry?. Is there any problem again?. Same story with Lina". Lina tried to calm down the man who had been her lover for the past two months.
Harfei also put his chicken satay and switched to enter the room where he used to use as a resting place.
"Darling, why are you?. Lina recently noticed that Abang was in a state of turmoil. Is there a problem with mom?". Asked Lina who had deliberately followed Harfei to his room.
"There's nothing, Lin. Brother is just a saucy". Reply Harfei while making a forced smile on his face.
"If there's nothing, then why is it that you're always so messy?". Lina sat down beside Harfei and held onto the man's shoulder.
"Abang is just soy sauce. You don't have to worry, do you?. Oh yeah, how's your papa doing?. Is he okay?". Harfei tried to divert the conversation so that Lina did not ask further about the change in her attitude that even herself did not know the reason.
"Alhamdulillah papa has started to improve bang. Oh yes, don't forget about the night Papa told Brother to go home". Lina's smile expands when she remembers her father's message inviting Harfei to dinner as a sign of their relationship's blessing.
"Yes, I remember. Yes, you better go home, right?. Prepare yourself for tonight. Kan Abang wants to visit the house of the future wife of Abang". When saying the word 'Wife Candidate', somehow the man's heart seemed to refuse, but he tried to strengthen his heart so as not to be upset. Lina went home according to Harfei.
*****
After Lina returned from her shop, Harfei washed her face with water to refresh her head as well as a mixed feeling. There was a turbulent sense of loss in his heart when he remembered Hazal who had been missing for two months. He did not even know the woman's mobile phone number and home address. After all, why would Harfei look for that woman?. Is not their relationship only limited to satay sellers and customers?. Everyone is free to make their own choices to look for new things, such as places to eat for example.
Satisfied washing his face, Harfei went out to meet Wawan to apologize for his outrageous attitude earlier. And as the man was about to leave his room, he heard a very familiar laugh in his ears. Harfei hurried his feet, and how happy and soul Harfei when he saw Hazal was cool to enjoy satay with his best friend Sonia while laughing.
Without Harfei realizing it he pulled his lips and formed a smile there, as if he had gotten something that had been missing all along. His heart was calm when he heard that laugh. Laughter that he missed for two months.
Harfei walks towards Hazal's desk and greets the woman.
"Hey. How are you?".
Hazal scrunched his forehead feeling confused about the change in Harfei's attitude which suddenly softened.
"Good". Answer Hazal.
"Where have these two months been?. Why don't you ever come back to my store?. Did your lover forbid you to eat in this humble tavern?. Or you've found a new place to eat so you forget our agreement that you'll be my regular customer, which means you have to eat here every day". Harfei asked in a row and with an excited feeling, as if he wanted to vaporize everything that had stuck in there for the past two months.
Hazal, who heard Harfei's question, was dumbfounded, and blinked his eyes several times. While Sonia is confused about the relationship between the two.
'Oh, jeez. What have I done?. Why can't I hold myself back?'. Harfei cursed himself.
"Ehem. What do you want to order?". Harfei tried to neutralize his feelings that had been messed up earlier.
"But we've already ordered Harfei". Sonia replied with a surprised face. Harfei also became misbehaved with his ridiculous attitude.
"Ah, sorry. I didn't notice her. Please continue it". Harfei leaves Hazal who is still loyal to his confusion.
' She why?. Was he taking the wrong medication?. Or the devil's embrace?' Batin Hazal's.
"Zal, Harfei why?. How much he worries about something about you. Do you guys have a problem?". Ask Sonia.
"We have no problem. After all, I also just visited again in this store after a business trip that was quite tiring outside the city. Dad didn't give me a chance to go home before things settled down".
Yes, for two months Hazal went on a business trip ordered by her father. She must get used to doing so, as Hazal is her only daughter and will continue her father's company.
"Maybe he missed you for two months not seeing you, Hihihi". Sonia teases Hazal.
"What the hell, Son. Start me". Sonia's words warmed Hazal's heart. It's not to be denied if he misses the guy too. The man who was able to make his heart work hard every time was beside him. He smiled, but it was not realized by his best friend Sonia. Unbeknownst to Hazal, Harfei hears their conversation from behind his room. The man smiled at Hazal's remark, saying that during these two months he had been on a business trip, not because he had found a new place to eat. That means Hazal is not someone who betrayed his words first, even though the agreement is not black on white which at any time can be canceled or changed.
