Haidar rode his Tuatara V33K calmly on the street. Haidar did not expect that that day he had the event that would affect his life later.The young man had just left Buana Asparaga Tbk, and intended to have lunch at a favorite small restaurant. the vehicle is relaxing on the road.
now the government imposes an odd-even system on the main street.Police wearing black white PATO armor with red flat taillights on both flickering shoulders are busy regulating traffic. coincidentally today even applies to motor vehicles, the officers sometimes conduct self- patrols in several other roadways to ensure there are no cases of theft or sealing on the road.
Haidar deliberately sought another route to shorten the distance.The road was a bit quiet when Haidar approached the intersection of three streets and when it turned, suddenly appeared an autoped driven by a woman. Haidar stepped on the brake pedal.
CKIIIT....
but the collision is still inevitable.
GUBRAKK.
the autoped hit the front surface of the Tuatara V33K and bounced sideways as far as a meter along with the rider who fell. Haidar was stunned for a moment while the autoped rider lay down and got up to sit while grimacing in pain rubbing his thighs and hips.
after being aware of his shock, Haidar immediately got out of the car and checked his vehicle.The surface of the car was not dented, just a little beret due to a series of autoped with the car. after making sure the vehicle was okay, it was not okay, Haidar then approached the rider.
fortunately, the traffic was not crowded several times a motor vehicle was seen either four or three and two wheels passing, but none of them stopped even though just paying attention to the accident.
the sense of care has indeed eroded from the heart of every road user.they still ignore and drive vehicles while avoiding the place of the accident. Haidar knelt before the rider.
"Are you okay, Miss?" asked Haidar flatly.
the rider looked at him for a moment then shook his head, but Haidar could clearly see how much the rider was actually hiding the fact that he was in pain.
"Let me check." said Haidar.
"Don't.." reject the woman still with a face that implies pain mixed with anxiety.
Haidar looked at the woman.his eyebrows were linked. he was somewhat offended by the woman's refusal.The young man considered the rejection to be a presumption that the man was irresponsible.
"Miss..you are wretched because I. I should check your situation not to get injured or anything.." said Haidar flatly.
"No thanks. I'm in a hurry" replied the woman trying to get up.
again Haidar was trying to help the woman stand up and again the woman clasped her hands. Haidar could only sigh and exhale violently, venting his anger.at least with that vent instead of letting his hand swing slapping the woman because the lack of his teachings brushed off his help. the young man stood up and let the woman stand.
Haidar observed the woman setting up an autoped and the young man immediately understood why the woman called herself in such a hurry. apparently the woman works as a courier and may be in the delivery of goods that must arrive on time, if you want to get a good rating from customers.
Haidar reached into the wallet and pulled out his business card and extended it to the woman.
"Miss, if you have any complaints, please contact me. God willing I will try to help you" Haidar said with his card.
for a moment the woman looked at the business card and then received it with doubt when she saw Haidar impressed forcing the woman to accept it. after that Haidar immediately turned around and went back into his car and the Tuatara V33K drove back. the woman followed the car that drove out of the place and the woman tore the business card and threw it on the street and then re-run the autoped, leaving the place.
moments later, the purpose of the trip has been seen.The small restaurant that has always been a subscription to the young man stood upright and gracefully on the side of the street. Haidar parked the Tuatara V33K on the side of the road.She casually got out of her vehicle and stepped down the sidewalk that separates the restaurant with the street.
his gaze glimpsed a small child standing outside the building.The child was wearing only shabby t-shirts and short jumpsuit pants limited to the knees and thin sneakers.Hair was short, and his hair was, his face was clean and his eyes were flattened.The child just stood still while observing everyone passing by. When looking at Haidar, the child's gaze seemed stunned. a sense of admiration was evident in the eyes of the boy against him. Haidar was still able to look at the boy as he looked at him.
Haidar did not care much about it. he stepped into the restaurant and looked for a place to sit. Haidar found a strategic place, which is a place side by side with large windows near the road so that he can easily pay attention to the environment outside the restaurant.
Haidar did not realize that the child standing outside coincided properly in the window so clearly the child directed his gaze of admiration to Haidar from behind the window. Haidar sat down and heaved a sigh of relief.
he called the waiter and ordered the lunch menu, the waiter wrote down the menu several times on his blocknote and nodded and passed. Haidar pulled out the device, calling someone on the list.
📲 "Hello... yes, it's me, Haidar... when do we meet?" asked the young man, there was a crisp voice there.
📲 "I'm still on campus. But my course is over. Where are you?" ask the woman.
📲 "I'm on..." Haidar mentioned the name of the restaurant, "How? can we meet?"
📲 "I finished the business of applying for credit last semester. afterwards will meet you. You are not in a hurry to work, right?" ask the woman.
📲 "Alright, I wait for you. Just don't take an hour." said Haidar with a flat smile.
there was laughter there.
📲 "Indeed why wait an hour?" seduce the woman.
📲 "I can die of boredom." replied Haidar, "Hurry to finish the business.and come here immediately."
📲 "Alright... daaagh.." replied the woman.
Haidar smiled flatly again.
📲 "Daaagh.." he said then put the cloth back on the table.
soon a waiter came with a tray with a glass of foamed qahwa capuccino on the lid.
"Thank you." replied Sandiaga again throwing a stiff smile.The waiter smiled and nodded then left Haidar.
Haidar took the glass and sipped the contents a little. afterwards he sighed a little and smiled with satisfaction as he put the glass back on his desk. haidar subconsciously turned to the window and his gaze met the boy's gaze.
deg. deg...
haidar's brows furrowed for a moment.he had not reacted.The boy just stared at him with an amazed expression. Haidar thought he might be the one who felt. The young man turned left to right making sure that the boy was staring in another direction that might coincide with his position, but when Haidar again set his gaze to the window, he looked back at the boy, the boy's gaze was still directed at him.
Haidar tried to wave at the child, apparently the child responded by running into the restaurant and met Haidar. The young man bowed slightly and brought his face closer to the child.
"You're waiting for someone?" asked Haidar gently.
the boy shook his head. Haidar sighed.
"You're a schoolboy?" ask Haidar again.
quickly the boy nodded. Haidar straightened up and stared at the window looking for something.it could be that there was a parent of the child who was waiting for him, but it seemed that the search for the young man was in vain. Haidar looked back at the boy.
"Where are your parents?" ask Haidar.
the boy did not answer, the boy's eyes began to glaze over. Haidar sighed.
with a smile, the boy then sat in the chair and looked back at Haidar with a look of admiration made Haidar feel awkward.The young man swallowed his saliva for a moment to expel the awkwardness created.
"May I know, what's your name?" stud Haidar.
"Yes Sofia." replied the boy.
haidar's eyebrows slightly raised.This child bears a nice name and graceful.it is another name of a historic mosque building in Istanbul, Hagia Sophia.
"Good name." haidar praised.
"Still.." replied Aya Sofia softly.
Haidar waved at the cashier and before long a waiter appeared to approach Haidar.
"Yes?" sweep it well.
"Give this boy Orson.." pinta Haidar.
Orson is a term that refers to the type of orange juice syrup or lemonade, but the people of Gorontalo generally refer to orson for all juice drinks and syrup.
the waiter nodded and left the place. Haidar then noticed Aya Sofia.
"You must be truant, huh?" guess Haidar.
Aya Sofia just blushed. Haidar then shook his head.At a moment later two servants appeared pushing the food cart to Haidar's desk. after that the waiter moved a glass pot filled with water to the table and arranged the drink glass.
"Eat.." asked Haidar to push the plate containing his food towards Aya Sofia.
with sumringah Aya Sofia eating that food. Haidar looked at him with a look of pity. This child had never tasted such food, it looked right from the voracity he ate it. Aya Sofia momentarily looked at Haidar and stopped her eating.
"Am not eating?" tanya Sofia Lirih.
Haidar smiled warmly, "Look at you happy to eat the food, making me happy so that the hunger was suddenly gone." said Haidar. "Recycle that food." he asked.
Aya Sofia continued to eat the food until it was left unnoticed.for a moment the child burped softly, embarrassed to be heard by Haidar.The child drank out the orson hid his shame because it was caught burping. Haidar smiled back.
"Alhamdulilah, you spend it" said Haidar, "If not, of course I will be angry. Because the food is a gift then it should not be wasted."
"Thank you Om." replied Aya Sofia again softly.
Haidar nodded.The young man sighed for a moment. "You memorized the direction of your house? let Om drive you home."
Aya Sofia shook her head innocently. Haidar nodded back. "Alright.." he muttered. "Say the name of your school." - Pinta Haidar.
Aya Sofia mentioned the name of the school.it is one of the public schools in Gorontalo city. Haidar nodded again.
"Well, I'll take you home now." said Haidar as he stood up. The young man took Aya Sofia with him. The boy got off the chair and followed Haidar's steps to the cashier.
"How's Mr Haidar doing?" greet the cashier.
"Alhamdulilah, fine." replied Haidar smiling while issuing a black gold first royal card issued by the Bank of Dubai and handed the unlimited edition card to the cashier.
The cashier swiped it into an electronic data capture device on his desk.A nominal price appeared and the transaction was made.after which the cashier handed the card back to Haidar's hand.
indeed, since the late Kenzie Lasantu, held leadership in his business empire, the man kept his family's wealth worth trillions of rupiah in a Dubai bank so that Kenzie and his family members were entitled to use the bank's elite facilities, including the use of the card.
"Here often sir?" said the cashier back while bowing flat. Haidar nodded.
"I actually have an appointment with a woman here. Her name is Mahreen Nurmagonegov. If she arrives, tell me I still have a little need. You can hold it for a while until I get back here?" pinta Haider.
"Of course." replied the cashier. "Does he have to be served as you are?"
"Yes..." Haidar took out a business card and handed it to the cashier.The man nodded and looked at Haidar. "Hope your business is done soon."
"Sure.." replied Haidar briefly then grasped Aya Sofia's wrist and took her out. Haidar opened the car door.
"Get in.." he ordered.
Aya Sofia followed his orders and got into the car. Haidar closed the door and circled the car and opened the door and entered from the opposite side right in front of the steering wheel of the car.
"We're going to your school" said Haidar.
"Why Om?" aya Sofia asked somewhat timidly.
the vehicle slowly left the place and began to quietly drive on the main road. Haidar responded to the child's question.
"Om want to find out your home address from the school, so Om can send you to your home" replied Haidar. "I don't like to see kids who skip school..."
Aya Sofia looked down while playing her fingers on the end of the shirt. Haidar connects while still driving the car. "You knew? when I was a kid, I never skipped. Om always remembers that Om's parents sent Om to school for a good cause, so Om did not want to make Om's parents disappointed."
Aya Sofia was still down. Haidar glanced at the boy.
"You promise you won't skip anymore?" ask Haidar.
Aya Sofia nodded slowly. Haidar sighed and then smiled. "Good... Can you keep your promise?"
still with his face down, Aya Sofia held out a pinky hooked to Haidar. The young man smiled again and then hooked his pinky to the little child.
"Because you promised, Om will give you a gift" said Haidar.
The Tuatara V33K drove again and stopped at a toy store. Haidar went down and took Aya Sofia to the store.be told Aya Sofia to choose what toys she wanted. With enthusiasm, Aya Sofia chose a large yellow gold teddy bear wearing a red T-shirt. Haidar nodded again and then paid the price of the toy using a card transaction.
after that, the two returned to the car and the Tuatara V33K was back on the road. Along the way, Aya Sofia continued to hum happily. Haidar let it go.
soon the vehicle arrived in front of a school. Haidar looked in front of the gate, standing a security guard and a woman who seemed to be in a state of panic. Haidar knew him.The woman was the victim of his collision last afternoon.The two men stared at the Tuatara V33K which docked slowly approaching the two.
Haidar got out of the car along with Aya Sofia who was hugging the doll.See Aya Sofia, the woman immediately screamed and scattered in front of Aya Sofia.he hugged her and shed her cries on the boy's shoulder. Haidar was only caught sight of the scene.[]
