Berlin Hauptbanhof Station: 20.20 Germany time. Towards the end of August at the end of spring, the rain flushed quite heavily. It was even accompanied by a great wind that rumbled.
Haidar stepped slowly out of the train station. He was a little sorry for not bringing Rain Coat. Until the weather is more penetrable, he decided to go into a cafe that looks quite cozy. With the luminance of the light that can not be said to be dim, but also not too brightly lit, but the impression of warm and friendly immediately he can feel.
A female servant who looked young, perhaps she was still a student or a part-time early-level student here, approached her with a friendly smile. But then he seemed a little hesitant when he was about to speak. It must be because he saw the black hair and eyeballs as dark as night belongs to Haidar, also the skin of the young man who is brown sapodilla
ripened.
" Welcome sir ... do you want to order.... food or ... drinks ..? " , greet the girl in slightly stammered English.
" Can you see the menu ? ".
The girl smiled, then handed her a menu book with a red and gold cover.
" It can help me choose .... ".
" You are Asian sir? ... sorry, is a Muslim ? ", the girl asked.
" Yes .. Is there anything you can recommend me for ? ", this time Haidar asked in German and made the girl look straight up.
" Oh .. I'm glad you speak German. Of course, how about .... Flascher Hase or Gulachuppe, we use halal meat " . The girl explained excitedly.
" Oh .. What is it ? ".
" Flasher Hase .. is a typical German food made from minced meat, eggs, flour and onions. Gulachuppe is a soup. This soup has a thick sauce and red color. The basic ingredients of this soup are, beef, potatoes, tomatoes and typical German spices ". The girl's smile expanded again as soon as she gave an explanation.
" I want both" Haidar ordered without hesitation.
" Okay sir. Sorry... Large or medium portions ? ", ask the girl again.
" A Any advice ? ".
" Because it's time for dinner .. maybe a big portion of it. Ah .. but if you've been at home waiting for family for dinner .. maybe the medium one ".
" Okay .. the medium ".
" Beer ? ... oh.. sorry ... lemonade ginger ? ".
" Yes .. yes, exactly ". Haidar laughed and the young girl seemed to smile with satisfaction, then soon passed to prepare what had been ordered.
Wasn't the brunette's innate girl very similar to him ?
Haidar smiled to himself and sat leaning back enjoying the rain. He stared out through the window, the street with bright lights seemed slightly biased due to the repeated reflections from the water points. While the sound of the roaring wind has not yet subsided. Looks like tonight will pass very wet.
Then came a group of young men and women. One, two. Talk and joke warmly. Then take a seat in the middle of the cafe, not far from where Haidar is on the edge near the window.
Suddenly Haidar's eardrum heard something familiar. Yes ....he heard two of them tuck a familiar vocabulary in his ear. Yes.... Bahasa Indonesia, which has almost one week, hardly heard it directly. He also turned a little to find out, who the pronouncer said 'ngawur' and 'whatever' was caught by his eardrum earlier.
" dear .... ".
But the stifled screeches had already approached him. A young woman who might be the same age as him seemed to stand up and look at him with an enthusiastic smile.
" Audrey .... Rhine Audrey ? ". A little unsure, but Haidar did know him.
" Yes .. It's me ", the girl laughed and walked up to him. But before that, he turned his head and patted the shoulder of someone next to him with a triumphant expression. " It's true I'm ... ".
" Dirga .. ", this time Haidar who was half strangled once knew who the man who was patted on his shoulder by Audrey.
With his long steps, Haidar decided to dart first towards their table. The two people were his friends while studying at the Faculty of Medicine first. I didn't expect to meet you back at this place.
" Look.you're so handsome", Dirga seemed earnest with his words. " Do you take a specialist here ? ".
" Hua .. ha. ha. I .... have been working" said Haidar.
" Oh yeah, which hospital ? ", Audrey asked with a twinkle in both of her big eyeballs.
" Unfortunately ... not Hospital ". Then Haidar told me a little about the task he was doing right now. The job of his beloved father's bossmand. Although it looks faint there is a little bit of disappointment, but the style of this excited man immediately erases the taste just like that.
" To forget .. introduce, this is Greg from Canada and also Emily ". As if aware of something that he had forgotten a moment ago, Audrey immediately introduced the two people who were also with them at this time.
The five men then spoke warmly. They laugh at the same time when they know what they ordered is the same. Only the portions are different.
" Wah .. Looks like you're old customers huh. How can your order come first ". Said Haidar teasingly.
" From the train we ordered it. Miss this ... already shaking almost fainted ". Dirga joked that was met with a small punch from Audrey landed seamlessly on her shoulder.
" The head cook here is Indonesian. Still young ... maybe two three. And very beautiful ... ", Audrey informed. " And he.... one of the men who entered in the line of heartbreak.... ".
" If I hadn't been heartbroken, you'd be heartbroken ". Dirga was triumphant while raising Audrey's right hand. It clearly shows a minimalist gold ring that is circular on the woman's ring finger.
" Woaaa... congratulations..... congratulations ....... ", Haidar who saw this immediately applauded happily.
" Here is cold Dar' .. where tahaaaan kalo' must bobo' itself continues ".
" Basic", and Audrey scowled in annoyance while pinching her husband's Dirga waist.
It's great to see a young couple who are warm, friendly, loving and indulgent with each other. And one thing that was even more fun was knowing that the pair also settled in Heidelberg, continuing their studies in the romantic city. Two bright and talented people who get a scholarship from the country, to continue their education at the very famous research institute, the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum/DKFZ) was established in 1964 and the Center for Molecular Biology (Zentrum for Molecular Biology Heidelberg/ZMBH) was established in 1983. And Haidar again showed his admiration for this brilliant couple.
" The next Habibie and Ainun ".
" Let's hope.... huh little boy ? ".
" Hey ... already want to get a bonus apparently ". Haidar's pair of eyes sparkled as he watched Dirga caress Audrey's stomach very gently and affectionately.
" It's been eight weeks. And great ... no hyperemesis. Yes, dear ... let the mother smoothly research, so she can pass with the father ". Without a doubt, Dirga who brewokan and impressed the little sangar kissed his wife's stomach.
" Waaah ... You make me envious ".
" Jomblo ... ampuuuun ", Haidar laughed.
And the five of them enjoyed the dish with a very happy feeling. From the warm conversation, Haidar also found out if Greg and Emily were also lovers. As the only single person in the place, he only laughed because he was teased by his friends.
" Your taste is how the hell brother ... the original Indo, or the perfect German girl ... ".
" I ... ah .... that ... ", Haidar scratched his hair while he was confused, how to answer Dirga's question.
...A woman ........
...Which I don't understand why either...
...As he walked, it was as if the entire magnetic field was becoming wavy on him...
...A woman ........
...Which as he smiled, his gentle luster overcame the luminescence of the aurora...
...A girl .......
...The gemulai movement is similar to a flower twig with its large white petals dazzling...
...Someone .........
...His name adorns the recesses of my heart...
Haidar choked, glued to his seat. His heart raced, beating irregularly. All of that was triggered by the light steps of a beautiful figure who was smiling while approaching their existence. He knew the beautiful white as marble, but as warm as a soft tropical flower.
" Thank you for always taking the time to Fehlschlagen Cafe" he said hello very familiar and friendly.
" Audrey's sister may be in good health, baby grandpa too. Uh... cravings for Indo cuisine ? just say I make it ", he offers very kindly. Lovely girl fun and.
Not just a pleasantries, it seems like Dirga-Audrey and the girl do have a special affinity. The promise of Rawon and Sambal Pecel wrapped the three of them in a warm family atmosphere. Until finally the charming girl said goodbye, rushing to leave them with hasty steps. Because it was too late for an appointment.
" Aduuuh. He's the Head Chef here, the real Indonesian ", '' Audrey said.
" Beautiful Hanin Deck ... huh, bro? ", Dirga blinked one eye at Haidar meaning to flirt.
Haidar laughed, but his heart cried out.
As the night grew more and more dissolved, while the rain stopped. The five men said goodbye to each other and went home to their own goals. Haidar waved his hand as the taxi he had booked started walking. Carrying himself with a smile on the two pairs of people who still look very happy. Without knowing the thumping of his feelings, a sense of happiness so great that he could not hold it in a thin smile.
..................
Eleven o'clock in the evening when Haidar entered the private residence of the Mahardika family. His brother-in-law opened the door for him. Still wearing glasses despite wearing gray sleeping pajamas that look comfortable to wear. The man still seems to be struggling with work.
" I'm sorry mas .. woke you up" said Haidar.
" I haven't slept yet. Have you eaten yet ? ".
" Already, near the station. Meet Indonesian friends, so we had dinner together ".
" Oh .. uh, your room is the very end. Next to the room you used to wear. Don't get me wrong ".
Haidar frowned, looking at his grandfather-in-law.
" Hanin has come. Of course followed by the twins ".
" Oh .... ". Haidar. " I'm up ya mas ".
" If you are still hungry, there is soto ayam, stay manasin aja ".
Haidar laughed and nodded. She understood correctly, it must be the message of the sister to her husband. In the Arsenio family he is indeed the most famous for eating. Fortunately, he was also crazy about sports. As a result, he was the tallest and greatest, surpassing his own father who was actually so towering.
The room is on the second floor of this house, located at the very end. But what attracted Haidar's attention was the room that looked still bright next to his room. There were three people inside, laughing. A very distinctive atmosphere as the girls gathered.
Haidar was fixated, his tongue was my tongue and his fingers were ready to knock. Slowly he pulled his fingers, clenched and put them in his pants pocket. As if trying to curb his great desire. Taking a deep breath, then slowly stepped inside his own room.
A few moments later, a young man was enjoying a warm water that fell chasing his entire body. Like stroking and gently massaging all the nerves of the body that are tired, starting from the tip of the head. Haidar lowered his head and closed his eyes. Giving a chance to the warm water was fulfilling the task.
But his mind was full of beauty that he had caught. How the smile from that pure white face made his heart race quickly. Not to mention that beautiful little body goulash, like a latent substance that messes up his entire hormonal system. Ah ..... The girl is too pretty, or she is too long ?. Or both of them ?.
Until finally Haidar decided to try to lie down, of course after completing the ritual warm bath earlier. In reality, he was very tired. He immediately fell asleep as soon as he touched a warm and comfortable mattress. The drowsiness did not need to ambush with full force, because this man had immediately given up on losing.
.......................
Awake in the early hours, Haidar saw the sulfur light from the table clock already showed at two o'clock. He felt his throat dry, thirst choking his neck. It must have been a protein-packed dinner. And he also remembered, before going to bed earlier he had not drank water at all.
Slowly he got out of his bed, then stepped out to visit the kitchen of this house below. When he was in the dim dining room because the main light was turned off, he frowned in astonishment. The kitchen lights were bright, and he heard the sound of activity there.
Slowly he stepped towards that place. Found a table commonly used by his brother to mix various materials, this time it was full of familiar materials in his eyes. Long-stemmed green vegetables are delicious when sauteed, of course it is kale. Red onions and garlic are also sweet. A cute looking piece of terraced next to a row of cayenne pepper and red chili.
But what caught Haidar's attention was a tiny figure who was struggling with the gurgling water from the sink. That's not her Sa' mba, she's petite. And Haidar knew who the woman who was now turning her back was.
Her flowery heart knew that figure better. His heart that was pounding faster, presumptuously revolted as if it was about to jump out. Shamelessly, a Haidar cheered in silence. But her happy smile could not be restrained.
I .... found you again
I hope this isn't just a coincidence
Because the universe, like, is on my side
May this be a sign from the Almighty......
