The Adventures of the Goddess of the Night
CHAPTER 12
That night, as I was preparing to close my eyes, my butut phone rang, indicating a message had come in. I immediately grabbed my phone located on the nightstand and saw the message.
From :+6285678xxxxxx
"Night Rin, have you slept? sorry to interrupt."
"Who is this? I guess I didn't tell my number to a new person." I muttered as I remembered.
I also immediately replied to the message to expel my curiosity about the owner of the number.
To :+6285678xxxxxx
"Night too, no trouble, sorry who is it?"
Message sent. I just wanted to close my eyes because I had yawned a few times, my phone shook again. I can't wait to check the message.
From :+6285678xxxxxx
"For what? I'm Zahir."
Glodaaack....
I accidentally dropped my butut phone until it slammed into the floor. Sari who was lying next to me facing the wall until she turned to look up her face to find out what fell. I just grinned the horse at him then immediately picked up the yellow sailing phone.
In my heart I still can't believe it, to read the incoming messages many times. But what I read is not wrong, there is clearly written the name Zahir.
Unknowingly I was as comfortable as my own smile of joy, because the person I had always thought of suddenly sent me a message. But in an instant I realized something, it could have been someone else who claimed to be Zahir to harm me.
I immediately typed in to reply to the message.
To :+6285678xxxxxx
"For good luck, who the hell is this? Don't lie to me for sins."
Shortly, the reply came in. I enthusiastically opened it and read it.
From :+6285678xxxxxx
"Not lying I'm Zahir, really,"
To :+6285678xxxxxx
"If so, who do you know my number from?"
From :+6285678xxxxxx
I feel happy not to play get a message from Zahir, unconsciously I laugh cheerfully while rolling on the mattress while kissing the yellow screen of my phone, to make Sari feel surprised by my behavior. I immediately covered my face with my palms, ashamed of the ridiculousness I had just done.
"You why Rin? persambet huh?" sari asked while looking at me confusedly.
"hehehehe no kok Ma'am, mm.anuu...hehehe," I was confused how to explain it to Sari, I was embarrassed to say that I got a message from a person I like, it feels really embarrassing because something like that alone makes me act weird.
"Again in love? ciieee, you know your new boyfriend, I'll know my new boyfriend, too" Sari said, lying back behind me while playing her phone.
I gawked at her words, how not, just a few days working here, Sari already has a new boyfriend. I could only shake my head in response, even though Sari was not looking at me anymore.
I smiled again as my phone shook again, a sign of a reply from the idol. I immediately replied with an unceasing smile.
"Is this what it's like to be drunk on love?" I murmured in a slightly flowery heart tonight.
*****
Day after day passed, I lived it more vigorously. Every day Zahir always intensely sent me messages, although He rarely came to visit me, but I was very happy just by getting a message from him.
Our relationship is still no clarity, rather we can say we are just friends, but his attention through the messages is enough for me, because I do not want to expect more from him, moreover, Zahir is still in school, and I also realize my position as a waitress for a coffee shop, is very inappropriate for him.
"Woy..but only! think Zahir yes," Sari scolded as she sat her body beside me. His mouth was busy chewing the fried beans sold in the stall.
"You Ma'am, ngagetin aja," cried who was still surprised by his sudden arrival.
"The reason is that you are in broad daylight like this but, let's not stingy beans" said Sari thrusting a pack of fried beans. I accepted it and immediately opened the package and ate it.
"Where, isn't it yet with Zahir?" ask Sari.
I just shook my head in response to her question.
"What crazy, it's attention like that, still not shot too, you little boy," grumbled Sari also felt annoyed with Zahir who never expressed his feelings to me.
"What the hell Mbak, maybe he just nganggep me a friend just not more than that. Attention can be a fellow temen like that." I concluded myself.
"You really, want to be followed. If I'm a fool so am I am a guy like that, mending looking for another, a lot of who likes you but you are a cute one" said Sari annoyed.
"Not cuek Ma'am, only I will not feel anything with them, how to respond to them. I just think they all doank no more" I said defensively.
Sari snorted hearing it. "You shouldn't point to them if you don't like them, it's the same for them to be disappointed and finally don't want to come here again. If you don't like it, just pretend that they come here, if we are also praised by Mbak Su and Pak Imam for making warung so rame. If they need to date them anyway they will not dare anything you I guarantee you."
I just fell silent not responding to Sari's words, but in my heart I confirmed Sari's words. If I wanted to pretend to like them, maybe they would always come here to visit me and that would definitely have an impact on the turnover of the stalls. But I was not sure whether or not to do as Sari suggested, because however it was not in line with my heart, because there was only one name that filled my heart, Zahir, even though it will be unrequited, at least I can still feel that love in my heart.
