This afternoon Adit invited Andi to lunch at the Threesome. When leaving earlier Dinda had ordered to invite Andi because today he cooked lunch at the booth.
They had reached the booth and went straight into the back table right in front of Dinda's room.
Adit lets Andi wait at the table while he walks into Dinda's room.
"Darling, I'm starving.." Adit approached Dinda and kissed her forehead.
Dinda smiled at Adit's arrival. He took Adit out to the kitchen. They both brought Dinda's prepared lunch to the table that Andi was waiting for.
"I do not help even troublesome hitchhiking meal here mbak Dinda.." Andi looked uneasy as he was like a boss who was being served with his respect.
"It's easy Andi, I invited Andi to join us here." Answer Dinda kindly.
"Oya mas Andi, please don't call me mbak, I'm younger you know.., just call Dinda, don't protest, okay..!?!" Pinta Dinda's.
"Just follow what he wants, instead of him sulking, we won't have lunch here.." Adit said as he glanced at Dinda who was still arranging the menu on the table.
"That bill, Andi's mas." Dinda agreed with her husband and the three of them laughed together.
"Alright, I'm the one who gave up, it's been up here, the cook is not so full.." His joke made the boss and his wife laugh again.
"Honey, where are Elisha and Rinaya, why haven't they come down yet?" Ask Adit.
"Elisa's out having lunch with Farrel. If it's Rinaya, maybe he'll be down soon." Dinda answered and grabbed her phone, about to make a call to Rinaya's number.
Not to mention pressing the call button, a beautiful and graceful figure was seen walking slowly down the stairs.
"That's what he's waiting for has come.." Dinda set her eyes on the stairs at the front end of their table, followed by Adit and Andi.
Deggg...!!! Andi was stunned to see the beautiful woman who had now walked towards the table she was sitting on.
There was a strange pounding on his chest the first time he saw that beautiful face.
"He's like an angel.." He murmured in his heart.
"Rin, let's hurry up and sit here, just wait for you.." Take Dinda while pointing at the empty seat next to Andi.
"I'm sorry it's a little late, there was a call from the supplier."
Rinaya's soft voice that was already sitting beside Andi, made her heart rustle.
"Rin, this is Andi's mas, who helps me with my work at the office."
"Mas Andi, this is also Rinaya, one of Dinda's best friends I've been telling you about."
Adit knows both at the same time.
Andi and Rinaya who were sitting next to each other turned their heads and reached out their hands. They shake hands to begin introductions.
Andi looked misbehaved and immediately let go of her hand before the tremors in her heart grew more and more uncontrollable.
Rinaya was still staring at Andi's face, she seemed to be bewitched by those shady eyes.
"What's wrong with me..?!?"
But he immediately dismissed his own feelings.
Without waiting any longer, the four of them ate the lunch prepared by Dinda.
Because it is still lunch hour, the cafe was visited by many buyers alternating.
Dinda who saw some tables still not delivered his order, immediately stood up to help his employees.
"Sorry, I'll stay. I'd like to help you prepare a buyer's order." Dinda was determined to leave the others.
"Then I went to the front musholla with Andi mas, baby. This table can be used if someone comes again." Adit also stood up followed by Andi.
"Let me clear the table." Rinaya also got up from her seat, preparing to help Dinda.
They are also divided by their respective activities.
.

.
Returning from the musholla, Adit and Andi intend to return to the office.
While Adit searches for Dinda in his room, Andi waits at one of the empty tables.
Just sitting down, she sees Rinaya coming out of the cafe kitchen about to climb the stairs.
Andi quickly chased after him..
"Rinaya.." Call her.
"Yes, um Andi..?" Rinaya stopped her steps.
"Mmmm.., can I have your phone number?" Andi was straight to the point.
"Oh yes, my mother.." Rinaya answered short. Actually he was still doubtful since they had just met. But knowing that Andi works in the same office as Adit, she casts her doubts.
Andi thrust his phone to Rinaya which Rinaya immediately received. He wrote down his phone number and returned Andi's phone.
"Thank you, Rinaya." Andi kept that number in her cell phone contacts.
"I live upstairs first, Andi mas." Rinaya smiled and passed up the stairs, leaving Andi still amazed by the look and speech said the beautiful woman.
"Oh my God, why does my heart keep pounding like this..??"
Andi still nailed her gaze to Rinaya, watching the woman's footsteps climb one step after another, until the body was no longer visible to the reach of her eyes.
"Darling, I went back to the office first huh. Wait for me later this afternoon." Andi kissed the tip of Dinda's head and forehead.
"I'm also happy, Dinda. Thank you for a great lunch." Said Andi with pure praise because Dinda's cooking was really delicious and spoiled his tongue earlier.
"Sama-sama, mas Andi. We'll have lunch together again sometime here.." Reply Dinda.
The three of them walked out. Dinda let go of Adit and Andi who had entered the car and drove away from the booth.
.
.
.
Arriving at the office, Adit and Andi enter their respective rooms to continue their work.
Unlike Adit who immediately focused on his work, Andi just sat quietly in front of his laptop screen, his gaze was empty, his mind glared far to other places.
Sometimes he tries to concentrate on his task, but still can't. He's still thinking about it. Thinking of a beautiful woman like an angel she had just met at Dinda's cafe. He felt his heart had been lured at first sight.
For a long time Andi had never felt his heart like this. Since the departure of her lover who died of illness five years ago.
And today, his heart seemed to find its glow again, after a long time of darkness and emptiness without belonging.
Even though he didn't know anything about the woman, his heart didn't care. His heart signaled that the taste had come back beautifully.
.
.
.
After office hours, Andi drove his car to the Threesome. I don't know what he's going to do there, he doesn't know. He just followed his heart.
He stopped his car in front of the closed shophouse, not far from the booth. Adit's car is still parked in the yard.
Before long it seemed Adit and Dinda joined hands out of the booth. They immediately got into the car and passed away leaving the booth.
Andi took her phone from the seat next to the steering wheel. He sent a message to someone inside the booth.
"Goddessa, Rinaya. I'm Andi, Mas Adit's assistant."
I hope she is worried that there will be a reply from Rinaya.
One minute, five minutes, ten minutes. A message from Rinaya came in.
"Waalaikumsalam, mas Andi. What's up, mas?"
Andi's heart trembled again despite only reading a message, as if Rinaya herself had said before him.
At the same time on the third floor of the store, Rinaya held her phone after replying to a message from Andi.
"Why does my heart become more restless after receiving a message from Andi mas..?" he murmured in the heart.
From this afternoon, he tried to forget his uncertain feelings, but could not.
Now plus there is a message from Adit, his heart is getting restless.
"Have you come home from the store..?"
Andi sent another message.
There, Rinaya reads the message and replies.
"Yet. I lived in my car in the garage. And until now has not been delivered here."
Andi smiled, it seemed like she had one chance this afternoon.
"Can I take you home?"
Send one more message.
Rinaya who read it felt her breath choked. Just like Andi, he had not been in close contact with a man for long. And today, there was a man she had only known for a few hours, offering to drive her home. He hesitated to give an answer.
But he remembered that Andi was Adit's assistant. There was no way Andi would do anything bad to him.
"May mas, if not troublesome." Sent already in return.
Andi smiled happily reading a reply from Rinaya. He would not waste this good opportunity.
"Prepare in front. I'll be there soon."
Rinaya hurriedly packed up, said goodbye to her employees, then went down to the second floor to Elisa who was still waiting for Farrel.
Then he walked downstairs, past the cafe and headed to the shophouse terrace.
From his place, You've seen the beautiful woman standing while holding a cell phone in her hand.
He immediately started his car engine and drove slowly towards the booth, stopping his car right in front of Rinaya.
With a pounding heart, Andi came out to Rinaya who also looked nervous.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
"No, mas. I just got off." Rinaya also felt a soft tremble in her heart.
Andi took Rinaya in the car. He opened the door, let Rinaya in and closed the door carefully. He immediately walked around the car, coming in from the side of the wheel.
Before the car went, they accidentally met a look, stared at each other for a moment and then turned their faces in different directions.
