Thorny Love

*Chapter 36

"I ... I don't have another card. Just have that card," said Laila with a feeling of embarrassment.

"Oh yes, if that means paying with case money."

"Sa-I also don't have a money case right now. I mean, I'm not bringing the case money here."

"Don't bring the case money or don't have the money, mbak?" ask the waiter Laila was angry with.

"Cih, the style of the rich. But only one ATM card. Choose a lot of clothes. Ih, make this shameful," said another servant.

"Sir, if you can't pay, I recommend not shopping at a place like this. A place like this that's expensive stuff know."

"Dad mbak. Shame yourself, right?"

Laila could not answer. He could only fall silent while bowing his head withstanding his shame as well as anger over what they said. The ridicule made Laila's mind go dead end. To the extent that, he could not think what he should do anymore now.

"Mister, now what should it be? Do you want to buy these clothes or not? Perhaps, you can contact someone who can help you" the cashier advised Laila.

At that time, Laila had just thought about what she should do to relieve the shame that was happening to her.

"I'll call my husband to pay for all my groceries. My husband can pay for everything. You'll see" said Laila, raising her face again. He said as he looked at the two servants who had been mocking him.

"Let's call her husband quickly! Because, it is not just me who is shopping here. There are still many other customers who want to pay for their groceries."

"Yes, they are all hindered by a lot of nonsense but no evidence" replied the other waiter.

"Be quiet you two. You'll see when my husband comes. You two can also buy it if my husband comes," said Laila very upset.

"Don't just talk. Prove it now" said the waiter.

Laila did not answer anymore. He immediately contacted Rama to ask Rama to come to this mall. But unfortunately, Laila several times contacted Rama, but Rama did not answer the call from him at all. It made Laila back in the thickets of shame due to the ridicule of the two.

"Okay .. mbak this. If you don't have a husband, don't tell me. It's getting embarrassed" the waiter said, again mocking.

"Dad. I don't have a husband. Or maybe, the husband of someone who can be recognized as a husband. Duh, gini day becomes actor, where can mbak. The actor is always inwardly born, you know? Karma for the actor is always paid off mbak."

"Shut up! You two lowly workers. I'll charge you with defamation!" laila said in a high and loud voice.

Laila's words just invited the attention of all mall visitors who heard the speech. Suddenly, Laila is now the center of attention of every mall visitor.

A manager came when he saw the noise, he approached Laila and the crowd that swarmed Laila as well as the two mall employees.

"What's this about? Why are there storms here?" ask the manager.

"This sir. This is shopping but cannot pay. Where the groceries are so much more" the waiter explained.

"Sorry before, is what my employees say true? Shopping but not paying?"

"I don't want to pay. But I'm asking you to wait a minute. I'll wait for my husband to come over to pay for all my groceries."

"Why don't you just pay?" ask the manager.

"I .... " Laila had no answer to the question the manager was asking. Because he could not afford to pay for what he spent.

"Well, please wait in that room. We will process there" the manager said, pointing to a room that seemed to belong to the mall's guard.

"will not. I don't want to wait there. I'm a customer, why should I wait in that place?"

"Sir, let us not take him to the law. Just like I said just now. We could've taken him to the legal line on charges, theft. What would you like?"

Laila thought about what the manager said. He did not want to go to jail for theft. After all, he had no one to help him with now.

"Ba-happily. I'll wait there" said Laila resigned.

Meanwhile, the mall owner who happened to see the commotion, walked up to the manager to ask what was going on. The manager explained what happened, creating a crowd in the mall.

"Where is he?" ask Saras.

"In the guard room, Ms. Saras."

"Oh, yes, I have. Let's go over there. I want to see what kind of woman has made a fuss here."

"Well, Saras, ma'am" said the manager as he followed Saras from behind.

Laila who tried to contact Rama, finally succeeded as well. Rama answered a call from Laila after dozens of times Laila called him.

"Hello, La."

"Hello Mas's. Where the hell are you? I called hard to answer. Get over here or I'll get them to the police station" Laila said quickly to Rama.

"What! Police station? Where are you?" rama asked somewhat surprised by what Laila said.

"I'm at the mall, mas. Cepetan come here! I'm afraid" said Laila again spoiled, because just remember that he should not talk rudely to Rama.

"At the mall? Which mall? You made a mistake to get taken to the police station, huh!"

"Udah deh mas. Later on her story. Now, you come here first. I was really scared" said Laila. After such a talk, he disconnected the phone without any closing greetings.

"Oh, so this is a violent woman here."
