It's been 1 month since Ayu worked at Farhan's cafe, she started mastering it now. Already that long Ayu also left far away his hope. He doesn't want to remember anything about Arshaka anymore, the last time Ayu waited for his message to be answered would be a painful day for him, plus the fact that Arshaka suddenly never posted anything again.
Ayu forced herself not to expect more, she already belonged to someone else, at least that's what Ayu kept reminding herself of.
"Welcome!" Sapa Ayu when one of the visitors came, he was very busy today, tomorrow and tomorrow again. He must concern himself.
"You rest first..." Said Rina in front of her cash register without looking at Ayu, she is Ayu's new friend in this cafe. Indeed, Rina is known as a girl who is a little jutek, but actually her heart is very soft and attentive.
"A little more my work hours are also exhausted," Ayu is still overwhelmed by her work.
"Said Mas Farhan you took an extra shift huh?"
Ayu grimaced, "yes, hehe..."
"You don't laugh, what kind of mute work are you looking for? There are tips!" Said Rina again warning but still with her pretentious special no matter that.
Ayu paced back and forth, not going to let her mind go blank in the least. Then at that moment a man standing behind Ayu touched his shoulder. He is very tall and wears a hat as well as a black mask, Ayu at first glance thinks it is Arshaka, or half of it is hopeful, but when the man opens the mask, it turns out that only the customer asks.
"Where's the toilet, brother?" Ask hurry.
"There!" Ayu pointed at the bathroom. Unexpectedly, her knees became limp, Ayu sat on the spot. Right said Rina, she needs a break now. It had been this month that he had forced his body to work nonstop. "Rin, I want permission to go home first.. It's not feeling well anymore."
"Buet home!" Rina replied still jutek.
Ayu immediately picked up her bag and was about to leave, "please go to Farhan yes, later working hours I change on holidays..."
"The chips are healed, the hunt is home! Don't nongolin face here anymore! Go all the way there!" Rina said again to keep Ayu entertained.
Maybe he will take leave also tomorrow, on the way home Ayu only thinks if his decision is not completely wrong. Here, at least he can get a new experience that is working for the first time, besides that he feels that the payday is fun and again, here he can have new friends. So, Ayu wants to start accepting her decision to move to Jakarta yesterday.
Let's just say this is his destiny, maybe if he was still in the village, now he is married to someone he does not know.
Half of the way, his phone rang. Ayu stopped her footsteps to lift for a while, apparently from Rina. Is there anything left? His inner.
"Hello? Yes, Rin?"
"Anu Ayu's..."
"Why?" Tanya Ayu was curious.
"Awhile..." Lina hung up her call and like she was chatting with someone, her voice was as vague as what they were saying. "There are people who want to see you..."
"Who?" Tanya Ayu was even more curious.
"I can't say it, he said if I said later you won't find him..."
Ayu was silent still trying to think about who was looking for him, dazed by hope if it was Arshaka. Surely not possible, right?
"He's a guy." said Rina again.
Degs... Ayu was stunned, her heart instantly roared rapidly. Is it possible if it's Arshaka? "Who?" Ask Ayu again forcibly.
"I don't know, he's here because he doesn't know your boarding address. Just know you work in this cafe because you wrote on InstaToon bio. He said he would wait for you here." continued Rina explained.
Certainly not without purpose Ayu wrote where she works in social media. All women know, it's common knowledge if such a thing happens, like their little code. So, isn't it obvious that it's Arshaka?
"I told you you were sick and I told you to come back tomorrow at least..."
"Wait!" Ayu held him back, "i'm there now, I'm fine.." afterwards Ayu hurriedly turned off her phone and ran back towards the cafe.
He was not sick, at least that sentence that Ayu kept saying in his head. If you say certain words over and over again, it will become a reality, right? So now Ayu does.
Ayu's breath was hunting, her footsteps were getting wider, she just wanted to get there quickly and hoped that what she thought was happening. He hoped that reality would not lie to him.
He stopped right outside the cafe, trying to rearrange his breath so as not to sting, trying to calm down again and did not look too he was in a hurry. Ayu took the tissue she kept in the bag and wiped away all traces of her sweat. Hoping that his current appearance was not too bad to meet someone.
He had to put on a calm face and smile, then Ayu prepared to open the door. But what he found was only, Maya who stood there with a man who Ayu knew was Bima mas.
"Surprise! You're surprised you didn't come here the same as Bima?" Maya asks approaching Ayu about to hug her.
Ayu could not say anything more, maybe her expectations were too high. He then put Maya's hand away immediately. "Ngapain is here?!"
Already resigned, Ayu did not answer any words from Maya. He immediately left Maya without saying goodbye and of course advised not to follow him or see him again.
...\~oOo\~...
Ayu's body feels warmer today. Maya obeyed Ayu saying yesterday that she would not follow Ayu, but even today she and Bima are still in Jakarta. Maya only tells that they are staying at the hotel and will see Ayu again when she is cured.
Foolish, Ayu ignored her brother's message.
His phone rang again from Rina.
"Hello, Ayu?"
"Yes? Why, Rin?"
"You're still sick today?"
"Yes, I've got Farhan's permission for all day..."
"Oh, this is someone looking for you again." said Rina worried.
Ayu sighed, it was definitely Maya's behavior, who would look for her? "Take it home, I'm not interested in meeting anyone!"
"Well, but he said ka—" had not had time for Rina to finish her sentence, Ayu had already closed it. He's tired if it's Maya again. Now, he just wants to rest.
...\~oOo\~...
The next day Ayu enters work earlier than usual because Maya invites her to meet there. Maya already sat down with bread and coffee as her breakfast, of course with Bima.
"When do you come home?"
"Oh! This bread is so good, Yu! You will pay!" Maya said with her mouth full.
Then Ayu took out the contents of her wallet, gave Bima a few pieces of paper money, "This is the cost for Maya to come home, please take her away from here immediately..."
"Loh, Ayu, haven't you been playing games with me?"
"Don't you see I want to work?"
Bima was silent for a moment to bribe back the bread, "yeah, you spirit ya work! Later back here again if you have not bothered and sorry yesterday has not been able to suddenly come here with Maya.." he explained at length.
Ayu sat waiting for them to leave here, after which she prepared to clean the cashier table. Either because of menstruation or indeed mentally disturbed, but Ayu is very sensitive lately.
The more he tried to forget Arshaka the more he remembered him, all the sudden things upset him. Especially her brother's treatment yesterday, making Ayu reluctant to hope again.
"Morning is pouting, Ayu!" Sapa Rina just came, he took the lap held by Ayu. "You take care of the cashier." he continued with HP toys.
Ayu is still a manyun while fiddling with the cash register.
"Yesterday someone nyariin you.." said Rina again without looking at Ayu, he was busy with his phone.
"Mak Maya again is not the same Bima that yesterday?"
"Not."
"Didn't you?" Ayu sees Rina curious, waiting for her to answer but before that a visitor comes to buy something.
"Order a cold Americano one!"
Ayu typed her order, "is there again?"
"Samaaa.." he said thinking for a long time to make Ayu look up at his face and see who was in front of him, "I miss you."
"Oh! That was yesterday that caught you!" Said Rina pointing and suddenly stood up realizing who was coming and immediately went to the restroom.
"You're healed?" Ask gently with a smile.
"Aarshaka?"
