Kalycha stared intently at the man standing in front of her. The ridiculous request she had heard from the man who resembled her husband made her very upset. How could the man ask her for 10 million/minute pay just to talk for a minute.
"He's a human, isn't he? How to oppress the little people. Hah, it's my fault I'm not a small folk but 10 million minutes? It's the same as a loan shark. Lecturers only 1 hour stand teaching in the campus is not necessarily the payment that much. Haduuh, how is it? I haven't worked a year, 1 minute is the same as my salary a month. Couldn't you take out the savings from Daddy?"
Haidar smiled inwardly at Kalycha's seemingly thoughtful behavior as she moved her fingers, counting how long she would talk to Haidar, and how much she would pay.
"Turunin a little bit yes." pinta Kalycha while bringing her thumb and index finger closer.
"How much?" asked Haidar with his sneaky grin.
"1million minutes. Deal?" This time it was Kalycha who reached out her hand asking for a deal between them.
"5 million minutes." Haidar welcomes Kalycha's hand.
"What's? 5million?" Kalycha was surprised that the man welcomed his hand with the price deal he had determined himself.
"Why? Too cheap, right? Or 8 million minutes?"
"Crazy for people, yes. How about it again. Follow her wants. City loses a little bit of nothing."
"OK-okay, 5 million minutes." Kalycha links her thumb and index finger to form a circle.
"My place determines. You're coming with me." Haidar pulled Kalycha's hand without looking at Kalycha who was upset with her.
"Eeehhhh wait a minute, why just play dates? I haven't agreed to ride in your car." Kalycha removed her hand from Haidar's grasp. "I'll bring my own car, I'll follow you from behind."
"You come with me or our deal's off." Haidar plays his eyebrows.
"That's a hell of a bitch?"
Haidar opened the door for Kalycha, inevitably Kalycha also followed the will of the man.
Along the way Kalycha chose to be quiet, because he was afraid that if he spoke then the man would start calculating how long their conversation lasted.
"Have you eaten?" asked Haidar while glancing towards Kalycha but Haidar was surprised to see Kalycha actually close his lips.
"Why not answer?"
Kalycha actually wanted to ask about the man who was looking at her. But he still refrained from asking.
"If I say you don't start now, will you pay?" Haidar laughed at Kalycha's reply, he felt very funny with the expression of the girl with him.
"No, your start time will be set." He saw that Kalycha was relieved after hearing the answer.
"No, I haven't had lunch yet. I came straight to your office from home. Because this afternoon I'm shif watch the day." Kalycha immediately covered her mouth with both hands.
"Well, why would I tell him that I'm a shif for the day? You have a mouth that can't be on the brake." Kalycha is against herself. Haidar was more interested in getting to know the girl sitting next to him.
"This girl is so funny, who is she? What's my relationship with him? Why is it that with him my heart always beats like this? And why would I feel happy being with her?"
"Where do you work?" Haidar pretended not to know about Kalycha's work when he already knew that Kalycha was a doctor.
"In PT, as a freelance day laborer" replied Kalycha lying.
Haidar only smiled hearing Kalycha's reply.
"Why should he lie?" Inner Haidar. But don't want to ask why the girl had to lie to him.
Not long ago Haidar parked his car after arriving at his favorite restaurant.
"Padang restaurant? Why did he choose this restaurant? Is this man really Mas Hai? " Kalycha wondered why the man also owned the same favorite restaurant as her husband. Because Kalycha used to be taken by Haidar to the restaurant.
Kalycha's tears dripped strongly in memory of her husband's Haidar. He quickly removed it before the man realized he was crying.
Kalycha followed Haidar down from the car and chose to sit opposite him. Previously Haidar had pulled a chair for him but Kalycha immediately pulled his own chair and immediately sat in front of him.
"Please choose what to eat?" Haidar gave the menu book that the waiter of the restaurant gave to Kalycha.
"Thank you, but I'll just drink." Without looking at the menu book Kalycha returned it to the waiter standing next to her.
"Why? You said you haven't eaten yet?"
"I don't like to eat fatty foods."
"I don't like to eat fatty foods" said Haidar's ear, but it wasn't the first time he heard the phrase.
"Why? are you afraid of fat?" asked Haidar while enduring her headache. Then handed over the restaurant's menu book after the waiter had written all his orders.
"Ga, too, but I didn't like fatty foods before." Haidar just nodded his head.
"Ga will get fat if you only eat one Miss." said Haidar.
"Ga will get fat if you eat only one Miss." Kalycha recalled the first time Haidar took her to a field restaurant when Haidar said those words when Kalycha refused to eat the fatty food.
Actually after Haidar died, Kalycha had tried every menu that her husband had ordered. Only one dish that he likes the most from the food that Haidar has ever eaten. Kalycha likes beef rendang. And that's what he tried at the restaurant where they eat at this time. If Kalycha again wants to eat rendang she immediately asked her in-laws to cook it.
Although Haidar is gone, Kalycha's relationship with her father-in-law was never broken. Kalycha was like the youngest daughter in her late husband's family.
Not long after the waiter came to bring food orders Haidar. Kalycha was surprised to see the menu the man ordered was all her husband's favorite food.
"Am I allowed to ask Mas Hai?" kalycha asked, calling the man by the name she used to call her husband. And at the same time the man looked at him sharply. "Emm I mean Sir?" Kalycha confirmed his words.
"Mas Hi, Mas Hai. Mas Hai–." The call again sounded familiar in his ears. The loud buzz in his ears made his head ache, but Haidar tried not to show his pain.
"Say my name, Haikal." And who is Mas Hai?" Haidar was curious about the call he had just heard. While allowing Kalycha to start calculating the length of their conversation.
Kalycha took her phone and pressed the stop watch button from the menu on her phone.
"It's funny he actually counted it."
"Okay we start." Kalycha folded her hands and placed them on the table. "Hai-Haikal–." Kalycha was silent as their eyes clashed against each other. His longing for Haidar left him at a loss for words.
"Where should I start? How am I confused myself? "
"Hey lady, why shut up? It's time to keep going." Haidar pointed at Kalycha's phone with a stop watch that just kept going while enjoying the dish in front of it.
"Who exactly is this guy? From the sound, the way he ate even from his sight were all similar to Mas Haidar." Kalycha was still silent, the clear liquid began to stagnate in the corner of his eye.
"Sorry, I'm-I–." Kalycha's chest suddenly felt tight, it was hard for her to ask the man who was staring at her intensely.
Haidar stopped his lunch, put the spoon and fork he held on his plate. Then Kalycha hand pulled out of the restaurant after leaving some 100 thousand bills on the table where they were sitting.
Kalycha, whose hand was pulled away, followed the man into his car. While in the car, Kalycha broke down. Haidar was confused to see why Kalycha suddenly cried. He wanted to ask but he stopped.
Without realizing it, Haidar drove his car to the North Jakarta area to the forest where he had brought Kalycha there. After arriving in the forest, Haidar again felt that the place was not foreign to him.
"Why do I feel like I've been to this place? Even though for the first time I was here, why did I feel familiar or familiar with this place? The view, the position I am standing in right now, even I am here with that woman all feel familiar. I feel like Dejavu." Haidar was amazed by the place, forgetting that Kalycha was still in the car.
Kalycha got out of the car, and was surprised to see the scenery around her. He saw Haidar standing looking towards the forest.
"WHO ARE YOU REALLY?" kalycha's cry surprised Haidar, making him immediately turn towards Kalycha who returned Hysterical and cried.
