“So her husband Zahra asked you to find out about Mr Santo?” Tina asked Reyhan who was focusing on driving her car.
Yeah, Reyhan did just pick up Tina from the airport. Reyhan also introduced himself to Tina's brother and father as close friends.
“Yes, but wait. How do you know Mr Susanto?” Reyhan replied then asked with a puzzled face also curious.
“Of course I know him. I even know him very well Rey.”
“Oh yes? How can?”
“Yes can, the guy he is also my former boss.. I used to work with Zahra at a restaurant owned by Mr. Santo. And surely her husband Zahra asked you to find out about Mr. Santo because of Mr. Santo who bullies Zahra right?”
“Ya, exactly once.” Answer Reyhan.
Tina nodded her head understandingly. Tina herself also understood long ago that Santoso had an unusual taste for Zahra.
“It looks like you know a lot about Mr. Santoso.”
“Of course. I can even help you find out more about Mr. Santo.” Tina's smile looked at Reyhan.
“Honestly I don't want to trouble you. But if you're willing to help me, I can't refuse because I also need a partner for this mission.”
Tina laughed at hearing that. Reyhan is not a naive man. And Tina likes Reyhan's honest and open attitude.
Reyhan glanced at Tina who was laughing beside him. The man smiled meaningfully. The mission of finding out who Santoso is is not difficult for him. But if indeed Tina could help him Reyhan would not refuse. Since Reyhan believes they are investigating Santoso together, their relationship will also be closer. Of course, because the two of them will meet more often.
“How about we have lunch first?” Tawar Reyhan to Tina.
“Eem.. Be able. I'm a little hungry too. But your working time is not disturbed?”
“I asked Mr. Faza for permission. And Mr. Faza understands.” Reyhan.
“OK deh then.” Nodding Tina glanced at Reyhan.
Tina sighed. Tina stared at the many streets they were walking through. It feels like a dream. Tina can be close and often together with Reyhan.
Tina glanced at Reyhan then smiled. Reyhan is the man that Tina desperately wants her presence to be. The man that Tina accidentally met on the street and immediately made Tina interested at first sight.
“Where do we want to eat?” Reyhan asked Tina.
“Eem.. Can I choose this?” Tina smiled back at Reyhan.
“Yes.. I follow what you want.” Reyhan Smile.
“Ya has.. What if we eat meatballs? I'm another sore pee nih.”
For a moment Reyhan was silent.
“You like spicy food?” Ask Reyhan.
“But likes. I can't even eat without a pedes.” Tina answered with enthusiasm.
Reyhan grimacing. He was a man who could not eat spicy food. Even while eating instant noodles Reyhan did not dare to put his rags powder.
“I know loh meatball stalls that provide meatballs with a wow level of taste. You should try it. I'm sure you'll love it too.”
“Hah? Me? cobain spicy meatballs?” Reyhan asked surprised as well as scared.
“Yes.. Why?”
“Oh.. No no, no papa.”
“Eem.. Yes it is okay.” But Reyhan hesitated.
Tina smiled happily at him. But not with Reyhan who several times gulped. Reyhan could not eat spicy at all. And now Tina invites him to enjoy super spicy meatballs. Reyhan could not imagine what his expression would be like considering himself who had never tasted spicy food since childhood.
Reyhan once actually ate spicy food. But that was when he was five years old. Since then, Reyhan has never eaten spicy food again. Surely after something happened to him because of the spicy food.
Tina directed the way towards the meatball stall she was referring to. And it turns out that the meatball stall is not far from the company where Reyhan works.
They both got off Reyhan's car. It feels Reyhan's feet are very heavy to step into the meatball stall that is very crowded visitors.
“Rey.. You're not papa, are you?” Tina asked looking at Reyhan confusedly.
“Ah no papa. I'm not papa kok.” Reyhan smiled faintly.
Reyhan couldn't possibly tell Tina the truth. Because if Reyhan is honest, Tina will definitely be very disappointed because she did not eat her favorite super spicy meatballs.
“We sat there yuk.” Take Tina to take Reyhan, invite him to sit in the corner of the room where the lesehan.
While waiting for their order, Tina continued to tell me many things. Tina also told how often she came to the shop both with Zahra and Rasya the older sister who also really liked spicy food.
“Kanya you are the same brother you are the same as like to eat spicy well?” Reyhan's question continued to cover up his nervousness as well as his fear.
Reyhan also had a glance at some visitors there who looked very piquant after eating a large meatball with an unusual shape. Reyhan's body suddenly trembled. Reyhan is really scared right now. What's more when you see a man who complains with a red face full of sweat and his two eyes that bristle because they are not strong enough to withstand the spicy taste. Reyhan was eager to run away from the meatball stall. But looking at the smile of the sumringah Tina Reyhan felt it was impossible for her to do.
“Please order neng...” Said the owner of the meatball stall who drove himself two servings of meatballs full of red chili in the sauce. Mang ujang is the call of the skinny man.
“Still yes mang.” Tina's smile on the owner of the meatball shop.
“Ya neng equals.” Nod the simple looking man and then pass.
Tina then looked at Reyhan who shook her head slowly looking at the meatballs full of red rags in front of her.
“I'm the most spicy pesenin for you.” Tina smiled.
Now Reyhan's entire body even felt limp. His head suddenly kliyengan. Tina's sweet smile looks terrible after Reyhan stared at the red rags in a bowl that seemed to show the existence of his spiciness to Reyhan by swimming floating in a sauce that still reflected the smoke.
“Happy meal.” Tina started eating the meatballs. His head shook his head to feel the delicious spicy taste of the meatball sauce.
“Yes God.. Is my life really going to end because of this bowl of chili meatballs?” Inner Reyhan was afraid.
“Rey.. Bengong? You don't like meatballs, do you? Or do I want to buy another one? or do we move places to eat?” Tina asked who was starting to feel strange about the residence of her heart.
“Ah.. L'm.. I tried it out?”
With trembling hands Reyhan began to scoop a little sauce meatballs then taste it. At once the spicy taste was also hot, burning tongue, throat, and even Reyhan's entire body.
“Where? Yummy no?”
Reyhan's breath began to hunt. Sweat immediately splashed all over his body.
“Ya.. tasty.” Nod Reyhan with a breath.
However it seemed like Tina had yet to notice Reyhan's expression. Tina again enjoyed the bowl of super spicy meatballs followed Reyhan who immediately vomited a piece of meatballs that had just entered her mouth due to not being able to resist the spicy taste.
Seeing that Tina gave a surprised glance.
“Yes God, Reyhan !!” Pekik Tina who managed to invite the attention of all visitors in the stall.
