The Love of the Former

DCSM chapter 43

A week has passed from the last time my father met with the young man named Andi. Every day I go through full of debates to make me feel uncomfortable to stay at home.

A week too I come home late from the hour I usually go home from work. In fact I often spend my time playing and telling stories with my friends in the hotel lobby.

Even I feel discomfort when going out either with Mas Dian or others. And on this day, I'm looking for fruit for a cocktail order later tonight. Due to impromptu, I finally had to shop for my own materials that were lacking.

Mas Eksan and Mas Dian were busy with their work which happened to be both on the morning shift.

Luckily, there was Mas Roy who wanted to take me to the traditional market which was a bit far away. About 1 kilo meters from the restaurant I work at.

By riding our bikes we talk and tell each other stories. Although our closeness is not like my closeness to Mas Eksan and Mas Dian. But we never had the distance to joke with each other.

An uncomfortable feeling suddenly came sneaking up in my heart. I snorted in annoyance, again and again he followed and spied on all my activities.

I honestly don't like all of his actions. I haven't received his proposal yet. What if I became his wife?

Anxiety makes my mood that at first is good just to be amby formless.

Even the Imam who was close to me at that time never did as he did.

"What are we going to do, Ar?" Mas Roy nudged my arm when the two of us had already entered the market area.

"Find the main fruit, mas. If you're looking for something else."

"Yes, come on."

We both stepped towards the fruit stand. There are some fruits that are indeed ordered by guests for later tonight. Luckily, everything is still available in full.

I walked to the corner to pick a watermelon and also a melon. While mas Roy helped me choose pineapples and apples and grapes.

It was good to choose accidentally the tail of my eyes saw a shadow that was not far from our place.

"Si@lan" I'm getting annoyed.

How not, he followed us to the middle of the market like this. I'm determined, later after coming home I'll talk to you and stop this madness.

"It's already. What else is needed?" I watched our groceries.

"No, a lot of yes, my. Bring a car like it's better." My whiners.

"And you were the one who refused the fit I want to bring a car. Tell him to look romantic on the bike."

"Hehe, it looks like this is a little bit of groceries. It turns out that it was like this. How do we take him?"

I checked the shopping records on my phone. All the fruits already exist including papaya and banana.

"Live carrots and cauliflower mas."

"You go buy it there, I want to try to get this done first. If you can't, I'll call a wawan to pick you up."

I nodded, and immediately stepped away towards the vegetable stand which was not far from the fruit stand.

Just a few steps my phone reads with the name Mbak Ani plastered on his screen.

"Yes to mbak." I moved the call into vidio call mode. While choosing cauliflower I listened to Ani's mother who read out additional materials that I had to buy.

"I've also sent a message, Ar. Afraid there will be forgetfulness. So it's gonna be in check."

"Yes, mom. Thanks, but this is a little obstacle. We're having trouble carrying the stuff."

I said while pointing the camera towards Mas Roy who was busy arranging things to fit on the motor.

"Lo, didn't you guys bring the car?"

"Not so mbak, thought a little shopping earlier." I grinned the horse at the end of my sentence.

"Yes, you're shopping for what hasn't been. I'll find a kid to pick you up."

"Thank you mbak."

"Yes, yes I'm closed." I nodded and the call ended.

I put the carrots and cauliflower near Mas Roy.

"Some one will pick up. Just now Ani nelfon, there's still a lot of stuff we have to buy."

I said while checking the message sent by Ani earlier.

"More?"

I nodded "it looks like yes, the proof is added beef and chicken as well." Continue while showing the note in the message on my phone.

"Yes, wait here. Let me walk around inside again." Roy nodded. After that I went back into the market
