Two Rings of the CEO

Promises

Something unusual, it's been about a week Anastasya not the arrival of mysterious customers. I don't know where Ken is, but surely he didn't visit the restaurant as usual.

The girl was still fixated, and several times stared at the clock of the wall ticking.

"Tasya, what are you doing? You want to stand there and not go home?" A chef had even cradled his backpack and was preparing to leave the place to return home to gather with his wife and children.

"I-yes sister, finish packing I'll go home."

Maybe tonight he won't come again.

A little disappointed, Anastasya began packing her belongings and coming home with other friends. But the doubt is still there, lost only his motorbike is still left in the parking area.

It's weird, anyway, why should I think about it. Who is he? Just a mysterious man who is hard to talk to.

Murmuring indistinctly as his feet walked towards the parking area leisurely. Even though the night was late, but Anastasya who was used to solitude and silence was not afraid.

A pink helmet was attached to the head, and the motor was on, preparing to break up the night road. But suddenly, though,

"Sorry, is the restaurant closed?"

The girl turned her head when she heard a voice that was no longer foreign to her. For some reason, his heart seemed to be racing when he found out that Ken was the owner of the voice.

"T-lord."

"Sorry, I came late at night and even the restaurant was closed" said Ken Lirih as he stared at the restaurant where some of the lights had gone out.

"Yes, sir. The restaurant may have closed about fifteen minutes ago."

"All right." The man looked disappointed, clearly visible from the murat on his face. He turned around to leave immediately.

Anastasya who felt uncomfortable was spontaneously dropped from the vehicle and took off the helmet that had been worn.

"Wait sir!"

Ken halted his steps and turned to look at Anastasya.

"Are you hungry?" anastasya asked a little doubtfully.

The man sighed deeply, and threw it away slowly.

"of course. Isn't every one of these things my only purpose is to eat."

Also true.

"What if you eat in that tavern alone. It's still open there. If only sir would like." Pointing to the opposite direction, Anastasya directs Ken's gaze to a Mie shop located on the side of the road.

The man shuddered, perhaps the appearance of his place that was on the edge of the road.

"Master need not worry. I can guarantee the health and cleanliness of the food or the place to eat it. How's it?"

Though quite hesitant, but the man nodded. How else, his stomach was even so wrapped around hunger, and where else he had to get food in the middle of the night like this.

"All right, you're coming with me. If everything doesn't go your way, then you're the one who's gonna pay for everything." Without waiting for approval, Ken turned his back and began to step towards the noodle shop, regardless of the furious face of Anastasya who wanted to swallow him alive because of his chatter.

God fucking.

*****

Protect me god. I didn't even bring a lot of money to pay for this master's meal if my words were just a figment.

Anastasya's body had even been seen trembling for a moment after entering the noodle shop. I don't know what the girl was thinking, it's just that she's really scared now.

The two sat face to face and mingled with the other customers. Even though the night is late, but in fact the store is still crowded by visitors. The girl preferred to be quiet, as Ken ordered the food. Until not long ago, two bowls of noodles with a savory aroma and a puff of smoke on it landed right in front.

Why only order two bowls. Usually he would ask for three bowls for himself, and now coupled with me, shouldn't it be four bowls.

Anastasya smiled wryly.

Idiotically. Why do I wish that this master would order noodles for me too.

Anastasya got up from his position, but at once the girl's hand was held by Ken, and asked him to sit back.

"Where are you going?"

Where else if not to order food.

"Order food, sir. It would look disrespectful if I sat in this place, but didn't order any food or drink." Amastasya held Ken's hand that still touched his arm.

The girl was still confused. "Well, isn't--" The girl was unable to continue her speech as Ken's sturdy hand pulled her arm back to sit, accompanied by sharp eyes that made Anastasya spontaneously silence.

You weird guy.

Anastasya continued to look at Ken who was greedily eating his ordered noodles.

He looks good, he likes his food.

Conscious if noticed, Ken also cleared his throat, which made the girl in front of him spontaneously lowered her head and began to eat her food.

*****

"Thank you, sir."

"For what?"

"For the treaty" said Anastasya lirih.

Ken chuckles. "Why? What was that pale face you showed just now, as an expression of worry if I really asked you to treat me?"

The girl smiled clumsily and scratched her non-itchy nape.

"Do you think I'm in the category of a man who likes to take advantage of circumstances?"

"I don't mean sir."

"It's only natural that you think so, for we still don't know." Suddenly Ken extended his hand. "Meet me, I'm Ken. Kenan Pratama."

Anastasya stared at a hand outstretched in front. Without hesitation, he welcomed her.

"I am Anastasya, sir."

"I know your name. On that night, you mentioned it."

Anastasya sighed deeply. Why are the words that come out of her lips so sweet.

"Then your status, is it family or still single?"

Actually the girl answered. It still hurts so much to think back about her life.

"Surely, I am not family" Anastasya replied flatly.

"Oh, okay. Sorry if my question made you uncomfortable." The two were silent for a while, both at war with their respective minds.

They sat in a long chair in the restaurant's parking area, after eating noodle dishes at a roadside shop.

"Sir, there's one thing I want to ask you." Doubtful the girl said it.

"About what?"

"Why at the time in the tavern, you didn't order three servings of food as usual?" Anastasya glanced at Ken who suddenly had a sad face. I don't know what the man is feeling, but it can be ascertained if he is in a condition that is not okay.

"Don't answer Sir, if you don't want to answer," Anastasya repeated the question. Be aware if the question makes Ken's mood change.

"Tomorrow weekend. Do you work like you normally do?"

"Yes sir. But I'm in the night shift."

The man sighed deeply, but did not look at Anastasya.

"If you want an answer to your question, meet me at eight o'clock tomorrow morning in the city park. How's it?"

Huh, for what.

"Come in time. I'll wait for you." After saying that, Ken stepped into his parked car, started the engine and started running it.

Anastasya who was still silent, looked at Ken's back who was away leaving him. Until the car driven by the man disappeared swallowed by the night.

Am I so curious about you? Why am I asking him that kind of thing anyway. Stupid fucking brain. Why am I so curious about the mysterious man.

Anastasya was endlessly cursing herself. Even when the motorbike he drove on the streets he still did not stop saying the caci and maki he aimed for himself.
