With You I Find Love
Episode twenty eight
As soon as Ara entered her shop she was presented with a scene that made her bad mood disappear by itself. The busyness of the workers because of the number of orders that enter makes Ara's mood improve again. He forgot this morning and forgot his breakfast.
Ara and Atayad have something in common, which is just as crazy as work. Both are equally unaware of it.
After storing the bags in her workroom, Ara immediately joined in to help her workers. Ara is known by his workers as a very humble boss. He never distinguished the status of people who worked in his shop. For Ara they are the same, the same beings who need each other. Without their intervention, Ara would be difficult to run the workshop that he pioneered since he entered college. Although it is not easy to build it, Ara is always optimistic.
"As long as God gives us a chance, nothing is impossible if we keep trying. Change will happen if we start the change ourselves" a sentence that always encourages Ara to continue learning in building his business. That sentence was not only used for work, but also in his life.
Ah Ara regained her senses from her daydream as she recalled that sentence. "Why is it so hard for me to put that phrase into my new life?" ara in his heart.
"Why? yeah, 'cause that shitty guy never gave me the support to make a change. Just try it"
Whether you realize it or not, Ara said the sentence. Even he seemed to have forgotten what he had just said in his heart. Ara looks back to pick up items that must be wrapped according to customer orders before the courier picks her up.
"Mak Ara is sick?" ask one of his employees who is currently sitting exactly on his side.
Ara turned her head then replied "No, I'm fine" Ara replied with a smile and returned her hands and eyes focused on the object in front of her.
"But Mbak Ara looks very weak" said the employee worried about the condition of his superiors.
"Weni Kayak does not know the passion of the newlyweds. Maybe the soybeans are out of combat" said one of his other employees and made a red hue on Ara's cheeks pop by itself.
"Waaahhh it looks like we will soon have a boscill if the spirit of fighting Ara never recedes. Right mbak Ara" once again the sentence adds to the red hue.
Ara blushed in embarrassment, her lips clenched and she looked puzzled as to what their question was. This is all because Atayad made Ara's appetite disappear that morning. And now he hears vulgar words in every sentence thrown by his employees. Understand it because those who work in Ara's shop are mostly married, who are not married only one or two.
"What about first night? well certainly ahem ahem exciting" the others chimed in.
"I think having a husband mbak Ara very delicious. So look at Mbak Ara after a few days of marriage, every day seems limp continues" the others also chimed in.
Ara shook her head slowly when she saw the laughter of those who were teasing her with words that were considered reasonable by those who were married. Ara herself had not felt what they were saying.
"Mbak Ara is silent, you don't have to be ashamed now we are the same status" said the one next to him again.
Ara grabbed the thing that was ringing ever since Ara returned to her room. The choice of the object that displays the name of Shelly her best friend on the screen. After sliding the green color icon and pasting the flat difference on his earlobe. The conversation between the two went on for quite a while.
Ara and Shelly let go of each other after asking each other the news. The story of Shelly's vacation with her husband and two children colored the conversation. They talked for about an hour and a half. Have you ever talked to your best friend on the phone for more than an hour? Author mah never.
After a long time they talked on the phone to make each ear feel hot, finally they ended their conversation with Shelly asking for the address of the new house where Ara and her husband lived. The plan will be late afternoon Shelly and her husband will visit.
"Don't forget to give me your home address! let me deliver the wedding gift for you later this afternoon so my husband gets to know your husband" Shelly said
"What time are you going home?" ask Ara.
"Emmmmhhh maybe after my husband works. But take it easy we won't make it late at night at your house, I don't want to disturb the good times of the newlyweds" Shelly said, teasing Ara.
"What the hell" Ara replied, he also smiled at the temptation from Shelly and he remembered the words of his employees today. They really messed up Ara said in her heart.
After the phone connection was cut off, Ara breathed and floated quietly. I think he missed his old life. A time when he freely talked without being limited in time, sharing happiness and sadness with each other.
I don't feel like time has faded that togetherness. Shelly who married first, Elisa who was pregnant first by her lover at that time and now she herself was trapped in a marriage that she never wanted. Whereas in the white ash period the three of them were always together wherever they went until they were the same entering the same faculty. And now they are busy with their lives.
True old parents said, do not take a photo of three, play threes, because something odd will eliminate the wrong sati between them. And sure enough, Ara and Shelly are still always in a relationship but not with Elisha. Ara herself had never wanted to contact him since the hospital incident at that time. Even with Elisha, he may be ashamed.
After being silent for a long time with all his mass shadows and thoughts, Ara chose to end the banquet.
"What cooking is it for Shelly and her family?" said Ara while playing the pen that she held since earlier. He seems to think.
Ara glanced at the circular watch on her left hand, at 12:35. "I have to go home immediately and prepare the best food for my best friend later" said Ara as she rushed to clean her desk.
Ara stopped when she remembered something. "How do I say this to that haughty human? Can he be invited to work together to be nice later? Ah bodo is very much the business later" said Ara while stepping.
Before returning home Ara took the time to take the car at her parents' house which was planned to be taken yesterday. Yesterday was not so because there was an impromptu event from Atayad.
Ara's smile fluttered as she recalled yesterday's incident.
