Pursuing Love in the Past

A Glass of Warm Water

Hi Good-natured Reader, may you all be in good health 😇

🌸🌸🌸

Ayunda got off at the first stop. Just as he was about to step his foot outside, someone from the opposite direction bumped into him. The person's file accidentally slipped out of his grasp.

"Sorry.." he said while helping the person pick up the scattered files. "Santoso Station" he murmured.

"We are looking for PKL children, maybe you are interested" said the person because he had heard Ayunda muttering, he also saw the title of a book he carried.

"Come, hurry!" shouted the on board as it saw they did not hurry immediately.

"Okay, here's my business card and here's a file you can learn from" he said hurriedly, handing out a business card and a piece of paper.

"Good, Mom. Thank you", said Ayunda.

"Don't call me mom, I'm only 24" she said with a smile.

"Alright, Brother", he said later but the busway door was closed, maybe the person just read from the motion of Ayunda's lips only.

"Winda Santoso", he muttered as he read the business card in his hand. "Why is his name using Santoso, is he a subsidiary of Santoso Station? Ah, why do I bother to think about it" Ayunda muttered again and continued her steps towards her grocery store.

"Mom" he said, friendly to the shop owner.

"Morning, Ay. O, yes this is the money chips yesterday", he said while reaching for the drawer looking for some money sheets.

"Ah, Mom, Ay just want to deliver new chips" he said with a smile.

"Nothing, all of you" he said with a friendly smile. "This, all sixty thousand, yes", the mother offered two pieces of money.

"Thank you, ma'am", he said, accepting the money given by his mother. "Yes, excuse me, ma'am." Ayunda smiled, then left the stall to the other stall.

He walked down the sidewalk cheerfully, there was a new spirit he felt as the people he met were being kind and friendly to him.

That morning he had finished delivering chips made by the mother to his three subscription stalls with a definite step he rushed to campus.

***

Ayunda arrived at the campus, he walked at a fast pace, because the busway he was riding on was a little late.

Brugh...

"I'm sorry", he said as he had walked in a hurry.

"If the road uses eyes!" sergeant.

"I-yes, sorry", said Ayunda nervously.

"Ck, do you think you're sorry enough?" his frequent.

Well, what else does this college princess want? I'm too late, man.

He gave Ayunda a tissue, "clean up!" sergeant.

Ayunda was silent for a moment, then took a tissue from Sherly and immediately cleaned clothes that were not dirty, he did not want to add problems to the campus daughter and granddaughter of the campus owner. The passersby looked at him with a mocking smile.

It is up to them to judge me what, the important thing is that the problem is resolved, the mind is crying.

"Okay, enough go" he said cynically.

"Well", said Ayunda lowered his head.

"You know who I am, right?" his frequent.

Ayunda simply replied with a nod.

"Good", he said as he passed away leaving Ayunda.

Ayunda spread her legs while shedding tears. Is everyone rich like Sherly Tri Dharma, his inner self.

He quickly wiped away his tears, not wanting others to see him weak.

"Pa-morning, sir", he said nervously.

Then the lecturer saw a clock that was coiled on his side. "You are five minutes late, for this time I forgive" said the lecturer.

"Thank you, sir", he said with a smile.

Ayunda attended the course that morning with enthusiasm, so that the lecturer who taught felt the decision he gave was not wrong, because he had allowed him to enter even though he was late.

About two hours later he finished the course that morning, and then he rushed out of class to prepare for the cafe where he worked.

"Ay", cried her best friend Reina.

"Yes", said Ayunda.

"You're gonna help me find the speech materials Mr. Diran asked for?" the question is a little pushy.

"Yes, after school in the afternoon. But try to find some references first", he said.

"OK", Reina replied briefly.

Ayunda walked out of the classroom leaving her best friend. Reina is the only friend who accepts her for who she is. Even always take the same lecture hours as Ayunda even though she does not work part time. Unlike Dafa who always takes the same hour in the afternoon, so that he has the opportunity to take him home.

"Sir Reno, sorry to be a little late" he told the cafe owner.

"It's not too late, you arrive at exactly eleven" he said.

"Yes, but I haven't worn my uniform yet, brother."

"Udah, go in your uniform."

"Thank you, brother", he said passing into the dressing room.

Ayunda was ready with her uniform, she served every visitor cordially.

Then two handsome men in suits walked into the cafe, all eyes on them.

"Well, look" said the unmoved female visitors as they looked at them.

"Excuse me, Sir. This is the menu", Ayunda offers a menu list while saying favorite menu in the cafe.

They looked at the menu list and handed it back after ordering some food.

"O, yes. Sorry what's your name? I don't like calling people by the word waiter.

"Ay, Sir. Call me Ay", he said kindly.

"Well, please give me a glass of warm water first" he smiled.

Deg. Ayunda's heart seemed to stop. Then his thump grew louder, as if the words were familiar to his ears. The flashback twelve years ago flashed through his mind as the exhausted older brother played outside and he was very thirsty. Ayunda gave her a glass of water, but her brother said "give me warm water first".

"Ay.. hey, Ay", call the person when you see Ayunda sculpting.

"Eh, I'm sorry sir, I'll get it" he said as he passed from the table.

"What's wrong with you, Ay?" asked his friend Rian when he saw his shoulder face.

"It's okay, brother. Oo, yes, the father who was there asking for warm water, I delivered this first yes", he said carrying a glass of warm water after giving a note of order.

"This, sir", he said kindly as he placed a glass of warm water on their table.

"Thank you", he said kindly to Ayunda.

Ayunda simply replied with a smile, then left the table.

While waiting for his order to pass, Ayunda continued to look at the man's face. *If he were Adrian's brother, I would have run to hug him, his mind.

"Hey, why daydream" said Rian patting Ayunda's shoulder gently.

"Eh, sorry, Brother", he replied with a horse's grin. Then carry the order on the table of the two dashing men. As he presented their order at the dinner table, he overheard the person calling his name.

Ah, it turns out he's not Adrian's brother, his inner.

He walked away leaving the two handsome men arguing, whether what they were questioning Ayunda would not mix it up.
