The wall clock keeps rolling, taking the time to be late tonight. However, at exactly 24:00 midnight, I was just alone with Boss Andreas who had been watching without bored, no matter what he felt right now. To start talking and want to go home, I couldn't. So I just waited for Boss Andreas to say.
After the food and drink had run out, the boss stared at his watch while frowning at the same time. Then he looked ahead straight at my two neutrals. With hope, that he'll take me home soon. Because at home, Anissa and Bi Ira were definitely very worried.
I don't often go out without saying goodbye like this, just because the boss's call required me to go out with him late into the night. Before long, Boss Andreas picked up his phone and opened the notification on the screen. Seen from the look of his face, depicting a man who is responsible, authoritative, and loving. Although I only guessed it, so far I do not know what the real nature is like.
As an ordinary human being, I can only assume good, moreover he has been kind to me and is willing to accept this bad woman to work in her cafe.
“Marissa,” call the boss.
“Iya, Boss,” I replied.
“We go home, yuk, it's late at night. Put your family on worry again if it lingers,” he said explained.
“I-iya, Boss, I also thought of him like that earlier.”
“OK, you walk first to the exit. Let me pay for food first at the bartender,” tell him while reaching for the back pocket.
“Good, Boss.” After answering, I followed his orders and walked towards the doorway.
Seen from the tail of the netra, the boss was very happy tonight, from earlier always throwing a knotty smile when he was about to say. I also feel very happy if he can be happy like that, because I know, he is a man who never spreads a smile when in a cafe.
Right at the cold night, the silence of the night unsolvable by the moonlight that had been covered in black clouds moved gracefully up there and here, I was stunned by staring at the corridor to the left. Suddenly, a gentle touch landed on my left shoulder, and I found it toward the center of who touched it.
There has been Revan— my ex-husband, throwing away such a knotty smile when we first met during school time. However, I was fed up with his gentlemanly attitude as an angel-masked sinner, and kept silent as I shook without a sound.
“Marissa, what are you doing here?” tanyakanya.
I did not answer at all the questions, as ruffled waist, my gaze was only as straight as to the ceiling of the cafe room.
“Marissa, why are you like this? Please explain to me, what's my fault?”
“Enough! Don't ask me what your mistake is. Traitor, you are no more than an animal.”
“Marissa .. I've apologized to you, to our son, but why do you remain stubborn like this?! Or maybe, you already have a new man who will marry you.”
Hearing her words, I spontaneously stared. However, my mouth felt locked to answer. So I just rounded the two neutrals and took heavy breaths over and over again.
Not long after, the boss arrived just in time. He was stunned to my right while looking at my face that had been upset by Revan's presence just now.
“Marissa, why are you? Who is he?” ask Boss Andreas full of probes.
“Nobody, Mas, only crazy men always follow me,” I replied while holding the hand of Boss Andreas.
“Oh, then let's just leave here, come,” take Boss Andreas and hold my hand tightly.
“Iya, Mas,” I replied briefly, then this gaze was only fixed on the annoyed face of Revan who was still staring from a distance.
Sorry, Mom, I'm doing this now. If you could hurt me in the past, why can't I now. May you stay away from this life, so that we will no longer have names together or reciprocated.
But that's okay, gradually I will make Revan's life and Siska will suffer. They will even feel the pain they have done before. Right in the car, we moved out of the cafe courtyard towards the causeway to return home.
Along the way, I just focused on looking ahead without paying attention to the boss on the right. I felt very satisfied after making Revan hot in the cafe.
“Marissa,” call the boss.
“I-iya, Boss,” I replied.
“Can I ask?” tanyakanya.
“Bby, Boss, please,” I replied again.
“As for the man earlier, do you really not know him?”
The question was finally thrown back, as a result of excessive curiosity from the boss, making this mouth silenced and difficult to explain who the man was the question.
“I don't know, Boss,” I replied spontaneously.
“Oh, thank God, because I saw from the net that the man seemed sincere when talking to you earlier, so I felt cool and curious.”
“We used to know, Boss, but first. A few years ago, but we never met and it was an unexpected moment.”
“Oh, old friend, yes?” tanyakanya.
“That's it, Boss,” my word.
Even though I speak with lies, but nothing else to cover up all the disgrace that exists in me. I don't want everyone to know my dark past, because I can make myself feel very depressed and become a burden on the mind.
After a few minutes, we arrived at the front of the house with the gate that had opened very wide. That means, Anissa and Bi Ira are still inside the house and have not slept. We both got out of the car while standing on the sidewalk.
“Mas, thank you for taking me to dinner,”.
“Iya, equally. What you should thank me for is me, because you want to accompany me to dinner.”
“Oh, yes, Mas, be careful when you go home. On the road to get there is very vulnerable, I do not want if you arent why-why.”
“Yes, Mar, I will remember what you said. Thank you for your attention to me,” he replied.
Maybe I can advise the boss again. It looks so bad that I'm weird about him. Cannot be kept this mouth, jeez ..., my mind.
“Yes, already, then I go into the house first, Mas.”
“Please, I will also go directly. See you ...”
