"I'll go to the toilet for a minute." Akmal said goodbye to the three women in front of him.
Spontaneous Arumi and Dini nodded in agreement. Unlike Debby who just fell silent. Ever since he came, he kept thinking of ways to return Akmal's money.
Did I just follow?
Well, he couldn't possibly return the money in front of his wife and friend. He was afraid that misunderstandings would occur between them.
For a moment he watched Arumi and Dini. They are excited to tell stories.
The woman took a deep breath. "Em, I also want to go to the toilet. The food hasn't come yet." He won't waste this opportunity.
"Oh yes," replied Arumi while nodding. So too Dini.
Debby moved out of her place and walked away from the two men. No one is suspicious of him.
*****
The woman looked at the directions for the toilet. There are two doors. Left for men and right for women.
Debby didn't come in right away. He was wondering if he should catch up with Akmal inside or wait for him outside.
Debby circulated the view around the place. Not many people are hanging out. That made him relieved. With a doubtful step he entered the men's toilet.
I hope no one misunderstands.
But unfortunately, just a step heard the sound of baritone that made him have to bite his lips in shame.
"That's the men's toilet. Didn't you read it?" Sergei Akmal. He caught the woman about to enter the men's room.
Debby gulped before turning to look at the owner of the voice. He did not expect the person he wanted to meet was still outside.
"Didn't you see?" Again Akmal threw an intimidating look and question. He was inexhaustible with the woman in front of him, the clues were very clear but why did he not realize. Or is there some other meaning?
"I-i ...." The situation really makes Debby clumsy. He squeezed the straps of his bag.
"What's wrong?"
Debby closed her eyes and let out a rough sigh. "I want to meet Mr. Akmal. I'm looking inside."
Only that sentence escaped his lips. He doesn't know what's coming next.
Akmal frowned. "What business are you going to do until you're willing to go inside that's definitely not your place?" Akmal wanted to say that the actions of the woman in front of him were impolite. But he held back solely to keep his feelings.
Debby gulps. "I-I just want to pay my debt."
"Debit?" Akmal repeated the sentence. Her memory returned to the drama this afternoon.
Debby nodded steadily. The goal is simply to return the money he has borrowed.
"But I already said that it-"
"No, Sir!" Debby quickly cut the sentence of the man in front of her. He knows the direction Akmal talks. "I still want to give it back." He immediately opened the bag and took some money.
Akmal just stared at Debby's words. He saw the woman walking over, eroding the distance between them.
Debby raised Akmal's hand and gave the money away. "I'm sorry if I'm stubborn, Mr. Akmal. But the debt must still be paid." Debby looked up at the man in front of her. "Thank you for helping me and saving me from a situation that almost embarrassed me" he said. He took off his grip and passed.
Akmal was really flabbergasted. He looked at the back of the woman who kept away from him.
******
The four men ate with great service. There was only the sound of the clanking of spoons and forks. Debby's eyes occasionally glanced at the three people in front of her.
Suddenly his eyeballs met with a gaze that was always avoided. Well, and the owner is Akmal. Debby quickly diverts.
Debby stopped eating and gulped her drink down the toilet. His appetite has changed from the toilet.
Debby please, don't be so stiff.
After all, they reconnected the story that had been cut off.
"What's Debby doing now?" Arumi tries to familiarize herself with Debby.
"I work as SPG one of the automotive companies," Debby replied straightforwardly.
Arumi smile. "Mas Akmal is also involved in the automotive field."
"Good, dong! You can share-sharing," added Dini.
Akmal only replied with a small nod hearing the three women. Akmal already knows, but he's reluctant to talk.
"Are you comfortable with your work now?" Arumi again threw a question.
"Well! I really enjoyed it. In any case, the job kept me from depending on my parents. Buying something with my own sweat I feel very satisfied." He spoke while imagining. "The thing is, I'm so in love with my job." Debby spoke excitedly.
Unknowingly, everyone smiled at him. The waiting angel was only grinning when he realized. The red hue was clearly drawn on his smooth cheeks.
"You're so sweet, By." He looked at his friend with admiration.
Debby who heard that rounded her eyes. His face was really red. He misbehaved the compliments he had thrown for her.
Arumi and Akmal just smiled anxiously at the reaction of the waiting angel. "Both of you if there is no busyness, can stop by the house. I'm just on my own. Especially if, Mas Akmal to the office. I'm lonely sometimes" Arumi said with a glance at her husband.
"And they also work, dear," replied Akmal.
"Hahaha .. yes, Mi. We'll stop by as often as possible. Sometimes I can skip the office. Or after coming home from work, I'll pick up Debby and visit your house" Dini added.
And that night, the three women became closer. They plan small things like meeting, vacation, shopping and much more. This is done solely to strengthen their relationship and remove the awkward barrier between Arumi and Debby.
