My Hate, the Water of His Eyes (The End of A Taste)

Be Patient a Little More

The night is getting late, Syera and Mami Jelita can only resign to what will happen. Fandy ran over to someone who had just disconnected his phone when he had just said one sentence.

From inside the car Syera saw the direction where Fandy went. How surprised he was when he saw a man who was none other than Leo get out of the car and stand facing Fandy.

"Son, what's got to go this far as you do it?" ask Fandy growled.

"It's none of your business!" cynical Leo.

"Sister!" peekik Fandy is still polite by calling Leo as brother.

"Why, do you feel sorry for him, huh? Do you love her so much? Who was she, wasn't she just the little girl you met when the man who raised you to be her son died, huh? Where's your gratitude and respect for the father who raised you and took you in, huh?" pointed at Fandy's chest violently.

The two quarrels did not escape the attention of Syera. Not wanting to add to the commotion amid the problems, Syera got out of the car and ran towards the two.

Unable to hold back the anger he had been holding, Fandy threw a punch at Leo's face. Not to be outdone by what was done to him, Leo returned to hit Fandy.

"Sister Fandy!" shouts as the man returns to deliver his punch to Leo. The opportunity was taken by Leo to hit Fandy again.

Fandy grimaced in pain withstanding the pain on his face from the two blows. He again raised his hand to hit Leo but Syera had already restrained his body.

"Sister, no. That's enough," shirih Syera could not bear to see the fight of the two. "It's enough brother, don't hit again," Syera's pinta held Fandy by hugging him from the front.

"Ck! Are you heroes for one another? Huh... The doom-bearer girl meets an adopted child who dreams of becoming a biological child. You guys are a good fit!"

Leo patted his hands, as if there was dirt or dust sticking up and fixed his clothes.

He opened the door of his car and when he was about to enter he turned his head back to see Syera who was still tightly hugging Fandy's body.

"Suck!" leo left them both.

..........

In front of an old building at a crossroads, two trucks and a car stopped.

Syera, Fandy and Mami Jelita got out of the car and stared at the building in front of them. Moments later simultaneously the direction of view of two different-age women was switched on Fandy.

Fandy reviewed the smiles on the two women with wrinkled foreheads.

After Leo's departure, someone called Fandy and offered the building now in front of them as a place to put Jelita's mama's belongings.

The two-story building was already quite old and not occupied for several years. Formerly it was a famous cafe but because of the economic crisis at that time made the owner close the place.

"Ki-we go in and look first," asked Fandy.

Syera and mami Jelita just resigned and obey. The three of them entered the building and made them dumbfounded.

Different from what they imagined, it turned out that the conditions inside were not as bad as they thought.

The outside does look bad, even the wall paint has faded and peeling, even moldy. But who knows if it turns out in it is not like its appearance on the outside.

The chairs, tables and all the items inside were neatly covered by a white cloth. All this time the owner of the place just shut it down and let all the contents there.

Only the cobwebs were hanging above, the thick dust on the floor and the wall paint had started to fade.

"Where, auntie?" ask Fandy to Jelita's mom.

"Better than nowhere at all. This is more than enough."

Mami Jelita was still looking at the contents inside, nodding her head as if thinking of something.

"Tante can wear this right until he finds a new place" handed the key to Jelita's mother.

At one in the morning, after all the items in the truck were stored in a sizable warehouse in the building, Fandy drove Syera back home, while Mami Jelita went with one of her female employees to stay for a while at a boarding place using the truck she had rented to transport goods.

..........

"Are you tired?"

"You lied."

Of course Syera felt tired, especially after Leo's return his days were full of events outside his mind. Starting from the campus problem, Fandy's position is freefall in the company, and, the eviction of Mami Jelita from the bar she has lived in for many years and always paid her rent on time and the cause of past events that Leo left her.

I don't know what might happen to the people around Syera in the future.

There was no more conversation between the two until Fandy's car arrived outside the gate of Suntama's house.

"There's still a lot, brother," Syera said after Fandy's car stopped.

Fandy helped Syera open her seat-belt.

"Have you eaten?"

Syera nodded her head and opened the car door to get out.

"Patience a little more and wait a little while longer" said Fandy holding Syera's right hand.

That sentence again. The words that Fandy had spoken to him a few times. Syera had no idea what would happen by the time it arrived but whatever it was, she hoped something good would happen.

"Syera go in first, brother. Careful drive."

After saying that Syera ran and arrived at the back door she called Aunt Retno to open the door for her.

"Why's it coming home this late, son?" ask aunt Retno worried.

"So there's something to be done, bi. I'm the same with Fandy. He's also the one that brought me home."

"Thank God it was like that. Where's your bike, son?"

"Motorized?"

Syera remembered her motor. Sure enough, he left with a motorcycle and after that he no longer thought about it.

Quickly he contacted Fandy asking about the whereabouts of the motor.

"Sir, where's the Shera motor?"

"Your motorbike is in the bar parking lot. Sis tipped the same security guard there and tomorrow you can take it there."

Syera breathed a sigh of relief knowing the existence of the motor.

"Do you want to go there tomorrow morning, brother Fandy?" fandy Tawal.

"No, brother. Let Syera alone take tomorrow," Syera refused quickly do not want to trouble Fandy constantly.

"Yes, if there's any news of fandy's brother."

"Yes, brother. Thanks." Thanks."

..........

The next morning, Syera was a little in a hurry as she was about to pick up her motorcycle before going to work to the restaurant.

He went to the bar by riding an online motorcycle he had booked earlier.

Arriving there Syera ran towards the parking lot where her motorcycle was as Fandy said last night to her.

Syera's steps came to a halt for a moment when she found the sliced sight before her eyes.

He approached his motorbike which was no longer in shape. The condition of the motor was destroyed as if it was crushed.

He crouched down in front of the motorbike followed by tears that began to flow.

Fandy given motor that has been used and maintained well turned into objects that can only be sold to flea builders.

Still with a squatting position, Syera saw a shadow in front of her. Someone was standing behind him. The man walked around and stopped in front of him.
