The Blooming Lotus

Days As Ordinary

The clock shows at almost 8am, less than 15 minutes from now. "Damn, I'm bad again! Hopefully the boss has not arrived," grumbled a girl while running to intercept the angkot.

About five minutes waiting finally the angkot in question arrived, he hurriedly entered.

"Russia ... Wait, wait," he yelled at the other girl who was about to unlock the store.

"Geez, Wen ... You're in a habit, what time is it?" said Eri to Wenie a little upset. It should be that today Wenie who came faster than him, took turns every day.

"Ssttt, there's still two minutes. Let's hunt mumpung boss not yet nongol," he asserted so that his friend's babble does not continue.

"Yep, a little help," Eri asked Wenie to help push the rollingdoor.

Sure enough, not ten minutes before they fix the clothes on the boss's hanger comes with his typical flat face.

"Eh has come, Da Her," Wenie greeted in pleasantries.

"Hemm," here. "You guys just got here?" guess telak.

"Hehee, yes Da," the two replied with a shy smile.

Uda Herman names her boss, the type of person who has a flat face but is not stingy about employee wages. One secret that made Wenie and Eri forced themselves to feel at home working there.

The day went by as usual. Shops usually start bustling with shoppers at ten in the morning and will close at seven in the evening.

"Ri, I'm going to the toilet for a while, all right, and I'm buying lunch in the cafeteria. What do you want to drop it for?" wenie said on the sidelines to serve buyers who are starting to be quiet.

"Can. Rice with chicken soto only, Wen. The one in the shop Kang Fadil well," Eri messages while handing over two ten thousand sheets.

"Okay, wait for sweet lady ... Da, I'll let you go for a second, yeah" Wenie said to the boss sitting behind the counter.

"Hemm," he said. "Eh, Wen ... All send a message to Uda Edi, bring rice with bawal bakar that yes," shouted the boss without minip money.

"Okay, boss," as quickly as Wenie's lightning bolted away, she had already held back a pee.

The first goal is, of course, the toilet. "Help ... Come in at this hour. What time do you want to eat?" his grunts while waiting for the female toilet queue while idly reading a message on his phone.

"Tin!" a messenger message came in. "Hi, Wen. How are you?"

"Anton," he murmured. "What else do you want?" lazy to reply to the message but typed also a reply.

"I'm good. You?"

"I'm good too. Saturday afternoon watch Yuuk," Anton replied to the point. Long Wenie thought, she was unwilling to give this man false hope. People who have been trying for five months to get close to him.

"See later. I can't promise" he said.

"OKAY. Let me know as soon as possible, yes" Anton's request was a bit pushy.

Wenie simply replied with a big blue thumb emoticon.

Then the person from the toilet room appears, "Please, Ma'am ..."

"Oh yes, thank you," said Wenie then immediately entered.

After he finished his business he immediately went to the cafeteria to order different meals for two people and buy for himself.

"Kang, please wrap the rice using ampella liver, sambel, same saute kale ya," said Wenie as soon as he arrived at the Kang Fadil stall.

"okay, neng. Anything else?" welcome Kang Fadil friendly while serving other customers.

"Sip. Awaiting yes, neng," said Kang Fadil while serving rice wrap for Wenie.

Then after paying he went to the Padang rice stall to order food for the boss and quickly returned to the store.

"Totally long, Wen!" said Eri with a pouting face, he also wanted to go to the toilet apparently.

"Yes sorry, Ri. The toilet was empty, "he replied with a smile.

"You take care of that. Oh yeah, what's my order, Wen?" ask Eri.

"It's been made, soon delivered. Got Da Her too" he said again.

The boss was just cute while playing mobile phone, no matter what he was carrying. Eri passed shortly before the lunch order arrived.

Wenie seemed to enjoy the rice wrapper, fortunately the store visitors were quiet until Eri returned and they had lunch together.

They are quite happy to work here. A pleasant environment, a semi-modern market where on the ground floor like this there are electronic stores, shoes, clothes, and accessories from medium-sized brands.

Then on the first floor there is a foodcourt and a self-service. Then the second and third floors contain famous department stores as well as indoor playground such as playland.

Do not forget there is also a traditional vegetable market in a separate building that is still one area with this mall, quite complete for the size of the middle class in this city.

Wenie was grateful to be a part of life here, living the days well as if nothing sad had ever happened in her life.

After work he would usually spend time at home, or occasionally go to dinner with Eri, Indah, or Sofia next door clothing store neighbors.

The days went on as usual, nothing special until finally Sunday night came.

Wenie took a deep breath as she received a messenger phone call from Anton. He deliberately did not want to rush to lift it which made Anton a little upset.

"Hello ..."

"Hello, Wen. Where are you?" cecar Anton as soon as the phone is picked up. "I'm in front of your kosan gang. You're still in the old boarding house, aren't you?"

"still. Wait, I'm not feeling well anymore. Want to take medicine first," Wenie reasoned.

"There's no cure? Do I need to buy it first? What are you sick with? Or I'll just go play to your boarding house, yeah, we don't have to be watching, "pursue Anton behind the phone.

"Eeh, don't be. No, no, Ton," Wenie quickly refused. Iish, what a hell of a bitch you are, Ton. Don't know what other people are doing?

"Yes, not for long. I'm going dry waiting for you" said Anton somewhat disappointed, thought earlier there would be a chance to visit the boarding of his dream girl.

"Yes, yeah. What movie would you like to see?" asked Wenie, a little stalling again.

"We'll see what movie is there?" replied Anton casually. "If there's no good movie we're having a romantic dinner, what? You want to eat at the restaurant where, I'll treat you," he continued.

Whats?? Ouch, really people, do not really understand if the guenya males!, Wenie grumbled inwardly. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly to relax the resentment in his heart.

Ten minutes later he was out of his boarding house, wearing jeans with a light blue sweater and a small sling bag to carry his wallet and cell phone.

Anton stared unblinkingly. Even this simple, she's beautiful, sweet. Although it's a bit sniffy, but I know she's a kind girl. God, may he accept my love tonight.
