THE WAY YOU LOVE ME

13

I stopped for a moment at one corner of the wall. I set my breath, I feel after exercising rotate a very wide field.

My breath is heavy and my chest is tight. Yofie did nothing to me. But something like that makes me like this.

After a bit of calm, I walked again. Less than a little more I got to the stall. My journey that should have been short felt so far that day.

"Goddessa .... " I spoke when I came in.

I'm actually used to saying that phrase. I was taught by my nanny. Where I am, the majority of us say so.

"Goddessalamm.. " Answer Uda and Uni. they sat at one of the dining tables.

I immediately took the glass. I filled it with water and hurriedly drank it.

Uda and Uni looked up to gawk. They were afraid to see me drink quickly.

"Son... You okay?" Uni was surprised to see me.

"Drink slowly, you choke us hard... " Say the Uda from behind the cashier's desk.

"Papa Uda, Uni... I'm just hauss bangettt.. I washed the dishes first... "

I went to the back too. There's a pile of laundry waiting for me. I had a lot to clean in the morning.

Because this shop nobody lives. Then all are brought from home and only served when sold.

Many containers full of herbs and oils. First I felt nauseous and disgusted. All my life I've never done a job like this.

But I remember my wallet. It felt like my nausea was gone and I was eager to wash everything. According to my boss, I am the employee with the cleanest laundry they have.

Now it's better, Uni gave me special gloves. The one on each finger is like a string.

Uni said, dear this girl's finger. Every day the washing becomes rough. So he gave me this special holster.

I just accept what Uni and Uda give me.

The apron is also required for me to use. Uni used to cook in one of the kingdoms in Malayu. It's important to him that we look like his crew.

We were given headgear and apron. In addition to the cleanliness of our clothes. Can be as our protector from splashing water and oil.

Although only a food stall padang - malay. My boss has always attached great importance to the cleanliness and taste of cooking.

Maybe it's the secret of this stall so in demand. In addition Uni and Uda always feed beggars and buskers for free.

Not with meat every day. But what I have always seen is that they give with sincerity.

I once asked, "what kind of world does it take to divide food every day? I count 10 people who are uni love. We have not had 4 people eating... "

"Well, I'm not counting. The important thing is that they all eat with fullness. I'm happy to see healthy people and eat enough. About windfall, Uni think there is already a portion..."

"No harm, son, this is natural law. Uni and Uda give for free, there is another windfall that will stop.. Although we never expected... But, insyallah there is always a windfall for us.. . . "

Yeah maybe that's my boss's best seller. It is the prayer of those who eat only - only.

I've finished cleaning the table and the dirty laundry. I sat in the corner of the table and daydreamed.

"Children of girls daydream!" Uni patted my shoulder.

"Eh Union.. Indak.... Just look at it... " I answered with embarrassment - shame.

"God .. What do you think? Uh you're so pretty today... Who are you meeting?"

I held my cheeks and hair. "Ah agga Uni... Just want to be neat.... "

"You're going to shoot like this?" Ask Uni while watching me.

"Uni Yes... Why the Uni?"

"Cantek like this, none of it in the lyrics? Is something wrong?" Uni.

"Alaah Uni, okay... I am ordinary Uni... It is Uni... I'm ashamed.."

I saw a car stop. Looks like a fancy car, maybe it belongs to the office?

I approached and prepared near the food we were selling. I peeked out of the glass.

'uh? Jimmy?' My eyes bulged, I patted my cheek.

'sick... That means it's not a dream... But why are they here??' I still look at them.

They also went inside. I still don't blink looking at them. I don't know how magical what happened to me.

"Good day, would you like to eat here or take it home?" Greet both customers.

"Hallo... I ordered the other day. We haven't had a chance to taste yet.." Mr. Teddy replied to the Union greeting.

"Okay, we give you our best. All dishes are complete here. Please if you want to see."

Mr. Teddy and Jimmy looked at the side dish next to me. They then walked behind me. The distance between myself and Jimmy was so close.

I am still amazed to see them. But now Jimmy is looking at me like a sintron story or like a romance movie story.

I think my world stopped for a moment. We looked at each other and were stunned. There were no words or sounds, only we looked at each other.

Just us and the clink of a wall clock. I met him again, the rich man who always helped me.

Like a fairy tale of a rich man and a poor man. Did I end up that way too?

"Son.... Nak.... " Uni patted my shoulder.

I got up and took the plate. I took the rice and printed it on the plate.

"With what side dish sir? We're the special meat rendang.... Very soft and delicious. With oil and coconut milk we specially made... " I explained a little Uni and Uda products.

"Well, I tried... It's the same with the red sauce in the other bowl... " Sir Teddy answered.

I also cleverly took Mr. Teddy's order. Then I put it on our dining table.

I went back and got a new plate. This time I served Jimmy who was quiet.

"What side dishes do you want?" My voice suddenly became quiet and disappeared.

"What's? Less I can hear... " Jimmy deliberately teased Cathrine.

"Uhem... I'm sorry, what side dish do you want me to get?" I immediately let out my breath. It feels better and I can control my voice.

"Anything that matters is delicious... " Jimmy said and left me sitting.

I looked up at her answer. 'Ah crazy this, I take in the innards tau rasa lo.... '

Usually WNA that does not like to eat offal. But I think I should introduce her occasionally.

I took the lungs that were fried dry. Uni called it Crips because of its elongated thin shape.

I put it on Jimmy's desk. He scrunched his forehead.

"What's this?" Jimmy asked with a disgusted expression.

"Food... And it's delicious.as your request "I replied casually.

"Oh, that's really good sir.... Of cow lungs... What is england? Uhm... Beef lungs sir... " Sir teddy laughed a little.

"What???? " Jimmy's eyes glared.

"Please, try it, sir.. It's not bad to be a favorite here... " I answered while leaving the table.

I sat down by the cashier's desk. While observing the two people, they are actually no different from my other guests.

but because before that, I used to be Jimmy's date, it made me feel wrong.

Jimmy still with a stumped face. But I saw him holding the food.

Open his mouth slowly and start biting. First chunk, second chew, third chew... Then he swallowed it.

I didn't see him spit. He even ate it back with rice. This means that the person likes and accepts.

They seemed to enjoy the food we served. Thank goodness it fits their tongue. They also finished eating. Then they headed for the cashier's desk.

There's still me sitting next to the cashier. Jimmy kept looking at me. That made me misbehave.

I also tried to throw my eyes away. But Jimmy's gaze didn't blink, I didn't feel comfortable with this.

"What's wrong, mbak?" Ask Mr. Teddy.

"Huh? Engga... Bologna ... I'm nyari pen.... " I answered with origin.

"This is the change, sir... " The Union gave back some fractional money.

"Thank you ... " Mister Teddy took it and put it in his pocket.

"The food cooked is good. I love when I'll order again... " Say Jimmy by looking at the Union.

Now replace the me who didn't blink to see Jimmy. I looked at him from the cashier's table. Am I the one who swelled the feeling of being misbehaved? actually Jimmy doesn't have any taste for me?

He went away and got in the car. Until the car left... I still look at them. Am I crazy??

"You didn't blink that young man earlier... " The Union whispered in my ear.

"What the hell, with the Union... Ngaco union... Back to work again ah.... " I took their dirty dishes.

"young one was also bad, Uda? you could have.... " Uni's still teasing me.

I didn't even rub Uni, I brought the dirty dishes back.I went straight back to my job.

I'm trying to focus on my job.My target is next week I have to go back to the village.

********

"Hello sir? I want to travel yes, towards the city of S. At 9 o'clock mall, pick him up at Area C block K."

"Can mbak... Sit in front, next to the driver... It's the one in the middle."

"Ah no papa... Thank ye... " I also closed my call.

I finally got enough money to go home. I opened a small cupboard next to my desk.

There's a white envelope under my powder. I took it and opened it. There are some 50rb fractional sheets and other small fractions.

I counted a few times and folded them according to my count. For my transport, eat me on the street, snack my sister, my fare back and the rest for me to give to my mother.

The nominal is not big, but I hope to help them. At least it's my first time back after 3 months.

I put it back in the closet. I then prepared my little backpack.

I brought some new clothes that I bought for my sister. There are also clothes I got from the location.

At that time there was one artist who distributed clothes for free. I chose two men's and women's clothing. I think it's suitable for mom and dad.

I also brought the wallet that my sister asked for. I just brought a little bit of my clothes.I only went for 5 days.

besides, my wardrobe is still full there, a lot of the clothes I live in.

Actually Uni only gave me 3 days off. But they feel sorry for seeing me. I haven't been home in a long time, let alone this is the first time I've wandered.

They finally gave me a longer vacation. According to Uni, the date I returned home was usually not crowded. Yasudah to Uni is fine because I never skipped a day.

Jessy came into the room. He saw me and said nothing.

He took off his high sandal shoes. Then he sat down on Rias' desk chair. He took a cotton swab and a facial cleanser.

I'm still busy cleaning my clothes and some of my stuff. Actually this room is spacious, but almost everything is filled with Jessy's stuff.

I realized he was watching me from the mirror.I still didn't care to look at him.

"Where are you going? How to get stuff... " Jessy started the conversation.

"I'll make it clean" I replied, piling up my clean clothes.

"Oh yes, we have been talking for a long time... How's work? and sorry about the stall the other day..."

"Current Jess... Oh yes, I want to go home tomorrow yes.about that already, you also need to take care of your image. now you've often nonggol on TV. so I really understand Jess..." I looked at Jessy from the mirror.

"Huh? go home? Why suddenly? Why is papa? keep going back again, right? I need to buy a ticket." Jessy surprise.

"With papa Jess... Anyway mumpung Iw there is a cost to go home. Iw ride a travel kok which stops in front of the house. in fact I'm back also ngga ngabarin anyway, I'm afraid the house people even welcome me with food. oh yes, tomorrow I still go to work for a while .. I also just go home 5 days... really cepet... lo there is a deposit for the house? let me anter same adek gw"

I then broke my body.

"Cathrine.... Pleasee...Don't be long - long. I'll be lonely at the boarding... Since you started working there I feel lonely..I'm sorry if I keep going.." jessy's bicaea tones are so soft.

"Father Jess... Sorry yes, I also rarely Casting the same lo... But, I promise I'll follow Casting again.biarin now I'm just menggumpulin money first."

"Promise??" Jessy looks like she hopes for me.

"Sure! Uh shower there is malem... The water is getting cold... "

Jessy nodded, took a towel and went into the bathroom.

I play the game on my phone while sleeping. Every now and then I hear the water and Jessy's voice singing.

I sometimes think where did this kid go? almost every night he went back in the morning, sometimes a few days back.

only tonight can I talk to Jessy. usually when she comes back I'm asleep.or when I wake up, Jessy is still sleeping.
