There's No Saying Dear
Business Is Business
The lady with such shoulder hair, was busy arranging some things. Like, milk boxes, drinks glasses that are still in the cardboard until the soap washing face. That afternoon Light was helping the minimarket employees, who would soon be inaugurated with his cafe.
The phone in the pocket was vibrating, making Light give his work pause. His hands reached into the back pocket of his pants. The woman read the name on her phone screen.
"Assalamu'alaikum." The light says hello first.
"Wa'alaikumussalam." His voice sounded like people were holding back laughter.
"Why Mas?" The light asked, while tidying up her hair.
"Ehm! Beautiful is home. So I took the initiative to drive home later during the break. I hope you'll be home soon. It is impossible if I take her to the shophouse, because it is quite far from here," said Sky, who was not laughing because of the act Beautiful.
"All right, I'll be home soon." The light answered, while opening a door made of glass and sitting in front of the minimarket.
"I'll rest for another hour. Meet at the cafe near the house, papi! I'll eat there." The sky spoke, while looking at the face of the girl in front of him.
"Alright, I haven't cooked yet, either" said Light.
"I'm gonna drink this, who knows my body's gonna be full." The light smiled, looking at the milk box.
"I'm saying yes, you guys rest first if you're tired of buying snacks what cakes."
"Be careful Tea, okay be ready don't worry about us." The girl's employee, answering while giving a thumbs up towards the Light.
...***...
Shift to the company PT. Jaya Karyas. The round-faced girl was enthusiastic, because she would eat with her Lecturer and her Bubble boy.
"Come Om, we're out." That round-faced girl, was already willing to open the door.
"Start!" The sky stood up from his seat.
Uncoat the dark blue color and put on his work chair, continued to roll up the sleeves of the black shirt. His hands slightly loosened his tie, ending with allowing the white glasses perched on his nose. Akh—perfect thought the young man.
"Let's hurry Om, I'm hungry. I wasn't in class. Because mommy, don't give me a pocket" she said, pursing her lips.
The sky that heard was shocked. He was sure that his wife Agam Ariaja had forgotten to give the girl her pocket. For taking care of Black's needs. Maybe the family has reached Jogja because the distance from Jakarta to Jogja is about an hour and a half airway.
"Why didn't you ask Om?" The sky spoke, while opening the door, while the other hand held the girl.
"I also forgot, but it's okay Nana, gave me a round cilok and the drink one sip," he said, his fingers were round.
The sky was very sad, hearing the girl's story. They got into the elevator, inside the elevator the girl couldn't stay still. Making Heaven have to listen and occasionally the girl asks. And Sky had to answer, if not for sure the girl urged him to answer the question of the round face.
The silver car was out of the company PT. Jaya Karyas. The sky is driving at a speed not too high. That silver car split the street. About fifteen minutes, go. Finally, the silver car parked in the cafe.
Light came out of the red carpet. That shoulder-haired woman, paid the fare to the driver.
"Thank you Kang!" The light smiled as it received the fare change.
"Neng Together!"
Light entered the cafe, his eyes looking for someone, but did not find the person he was looking for.
"SISTER!" The girl shouted, very loudly.
Make everyone look at him. The sky facing the girl covered her ears. The young man did not know that his wife had come, because of the young man, to his back.
Light walked towards the corner of the cafe while commenting on a smile. When she wanted to sit in front of Beautiful accidentally her eyes saw her husband's style that was somewhat different from usual. The woman's lips were open, her eyes were glaring.
"Allowed Om?" Beautiful laugh, while closing her mouth.
The sky agreed.
The light was awakened by the sound of the round face. The lady with the hair, sat down and put something on the table.
"What I said." The girl said back.
"Similar to what you were doing in the office." The sky nodded its head. Seeing his wife's expression, when he saw her first wearing glasses.
The light was confused, because the words of the two people who had age differences were very far away.
"What the hell?" The light asked, scratching his head.
The two men shook their heads at the same time. As planned before.
"You are strange" said the Light.
The two men shrugged their shoulders. Which makes the Light frown.
"Good to enjoy" said the waiters.
"Thank you!" Smiling light.
"Pretty let's eat, you didn't snack at school, did you?" Sky talk, while wiping the spoon with a tissue.
Without being told for the second time the girl immediately sipped conro soup. Not playing! Afternoon eat soup konro make sultry body.
"meaning?"
"Mommy, don't give him a pocket." The sky answered, sipping on the conro soup.
"Huh? Why didn't you ask us Can?" Light is ready to execute traditional food typical of the Makassar.
"I forgot too."
"What were you at school?" Light asked, while eating beef ribs by hand.
"So taught Arabic the same lessons of the Qur'an and Hadith. We also have a schedule."
"What did the teacher teach you about Arabic?" Sky asked.
"Ta'aruf."
"What does that mean, Om don't know?"
"Introduction, or getting to know each other." The girl answered.
"Dam ismuki? (what's your name)" The sky asked.
"Ismi's Beautiful!" The girl answered.
"Kaifa khaluki is beautiful (how are you doing, Beauty) ?"
"Ana bikhairin, walhamdulillah (i am fine, praise be to allah)" The girl answered quickly.
"Wah ..if the Quran and the hadith are taught about what?" The light asked, while chewing.
The girl thought for a moment, it seemed like the girl had forgotten.
"So he was told to imitate a hadith that sounded, Innamal A'malu Binniyat!"
"That means?" Sky asked.
"Forgot Om!" The girl grinned the horse.
"Truly charity is according to his intention."
"Oh yeah forget me, Om!" The girl shook her head.
The young man's eyes stared at the plastic bag his wife was carrying. The sky took the plastic, and saw the contents turned out to be milk powder one box.
"You're drinking milk now?" The sky asked his wife and put the plastic bag back.
The light nodded its head slowly.
"So right to pay?" The sky asked, while sucking up a drink.
The light smiled stiffly, the woman shook her head.
"Tomorrow if you take from the minimarket must pay, and this must also be paid."
"But... " The sky cuts off his wife's words.
"No debate! You have to pay, okay!"
"I'm paying now."
"Not with me, but you have to pay to the cashier directly.Let's count it well. I check every month. So there can be no mistakes. Although you're my wife, but the name of business is business. Not knowing family. Especially just friends. You'll get two percent in a day of sales. How good is it to do business with me?" The sky smiled wide.
The Light swallowed his saliva violently. Why her husband is so calculating Light thought. All should have a concept according to the young man.
"Let's just say I'm the best partner, sleep partner, prayer partner, partner look at the beauty of the night sky, business partner and." The sky drew his mouth closer to his wife's.
"Partner—" The light that heard that was horrified, because of her husband.
