chapter 5

It was getting dark. Previously Andira had accompanied Tania shopping at the mall, now it was Tania's turn to accompany her to eat at Lezafood Restaurant, where her boyfriend works. 

They got a table inside this time, not at an outdoor table again even though the restaurant there are a lot of buyers.

"Bay the way, where is your boy? How come I didn't see it earlier." Tania looked around looking for the whereabouts of her best friend's boyfriend because it's the first time when she came there didn't find Satria back and forth controlling Service work under his leadership and ensure that all guest needs are met.

Not only Tania, Andira too. She tried to call the man's number but he didn't  receive a call. Usually when Andira calls, no matter how busy he is, he will be accepted for a moment to say she is busy.  But this time not at all, Andira until he made circling. Then, a heavy sigh was heard from the girl.

"Looks like he's really busy, Tan. My calls aren't being accepted."

"Mmm, how about we ask one of the waiters? I'm sure they'll know where their captain is and where he is." Tania was very enthusiastic because she didn't want to see her friend's sad face. He knew Andira had a hard time spending time with a partner like other people in general. Especially when her father returns to Jakarta, it will be more difficult for her to go out at night with Satria.

"Waiter!"

Without waiting for Andira's approval, Tania raised her hand to the waitress who was now approaching their table.

"Excuse me, Miss. Can I help you?" asked the polite waiter with his hands clasped in front.

It was because these two girls had ordered food beforehand, otherwise that wouldn't be the question.

"Mmm, I want to add to the order, two servings of fried potatoes, yes, Mr."

"Okay, Miss. Is there anything else?"

"That's all for now, Mr."

"Okay, then wait a moment we will prepare your order, Miss."

"Okay, uh but just a minute!"

When the waitress was ready to excuse herself to leave, Tania stopped because her goal wasn't just to order.

"Yes, Miss? Is there anything else I can help you with?" The male waiter remained polite.

"Khem, we are both friends, Mr. Satria, but we haven't seen him since. Do you think you know where he is?"

"Owh, Captain. He is in Mr. Leonard's room, he has a brief meeting with the superior."

"Owh, I see. Thank you for the info, Mr."

"You're welcome, Miss. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"Owh, no, that's all, Mr."

"Okay, then excuse me," said the waiter and immediately left as soon as he got a nod from Tania.

Andira just listened from earlier.

"No wonder he didn't accept my call. Astagfirullahal'azim, apparently I disturbed him who was in a meeting." Andira regrets trying to call because it could annoy her lover.

Tania's gaze squinted at her, smiling sweetly when Andira caught that gaze.

"What?" asked Andira who did not understand why her best friend was staring at her like that.

"It's okay, I'm just thinking, since you've known mr Satria, you've become a lot different, Dir," she said while looking at her best friend.

"Huh? Why me? You think I'm a fickle pink power ranger?"

"Ahahaha, that's not the case, I mean you're more religious. It's more of a limitation on friendship with the guys I saw when we were reunited."

"Owh, hahaha, hmmm I hope he can lead me to the right path, Tan."

Andira smiled proudly, proud of the figure who often advised her a, b and c even though Andira sometimes turned into a stubborn head to make Satria a little annoyed. However, it is no secret that Sundanese children are angry, their voice is very soft. Well, that's how a Satria grew up in the land of Sunda.

"Hmm, that's good, not like your hypersexual ex. Luckily you managed to escape him, otherwise I'd have gone to jail for murdering someone."

"Hust! Keep your voice down! It's a busy place!"

"Heheh sorry, take my mood!"

It is undeniable that, the last time they dated in high school, Andira chose the wrong partner. She is dating a jerk who already has a plan to destroy Andira's self-esteem as a girl. Luckily Tania was able to help them break up, even the bastard was expelled from school because he intended to be rude to Andira and Tania who reported it to the teacher.

"Hmm, Dir, I'm going to the toilet for a while, yes. I'm desperate."

"Do you want to be accompanied or not?" Andira bargained because usually her friend always asked to be accompanied to a public toilet.

"Don't be, you stay here, or the waiter will think we're running away before paying."

"Hahaha, okay, it's up to you"

"Okay, I'll take it off."

Tania walked over to the restaurant toilet, which was familiar to her. 

Now, only Andira is left at his desk. The girl sat playing the cellphone, hoping for a notification from her lover. She smiled remembering Tania's compliment about the difference when she was close to Satria. Satria is not a students in Islamic boarding schools, but an orphanage who reads the Al-Qur'an together every day.

However, for someone who has a bad story in the past, it takes encouragement from a special person to move forward and not sink into sadness. That's why Satria needs a lover who can accompany and listen to his complaints so she doesn't continue to feel isolated because Galang his best friend can't continue to accompany him because his best friend also works in a place far from Satria's workplace. It's just that he tried to make time to come during his day off. 

While remembering her lover, suddenly someone came over to the Andira's  table.

"Hey, Pretty. Just be alone, these beauties should be accompanied. Can I accompany you, right?"

Andira turned for a moment to the source of the voice that was very foreign to her. A man in a sweater, sitting in front without permission. Exactly where Tania was sitting. 

"Sorry, Sir. There are still many empty tables, please sit elsewhere because this is my table and I don't allow you to sit here," she sarcastically got to the point.

Instead of leaving, the man smiled mockingly.

"Wow, very cynical beautiful girl. What are you afraid of if your beauty is lost?"

Andira took a deep breath, she was too lazy to argue with an obscure person like this.

"You want to be here, right?"

"Huum, accompany you."

"Yes, all right, just take the order, I'll be the one to move."

Andira immediately got up, but the man's hand held her impudently!

"Ouch!! Don't be so impudent!!"

Andira's loud voice made all the restaurant patrons stare at them. Of course the unknown man was immediately furious and covered his face with his hat and put on glasses.

Several servants approached them. But he arrogantly raised his hand as if asking to stop and left without apologizing to Andira. However, the man's gaze, even with dark glasses, was very sharp at Andira.

 

"Andira! Are you okay?" Tania, who had just returned from the toilet, was surprised to see her friend surrounded by several maids, one of whom was a friend of the girl's lover. 

"It's okay, Tan. I'm just annoyed that people are so rude sitting around here without permission. Moreover, he held my hand when I was about to leave." Andira complained like a child to Tania.

And Tania's reaction was confirmed as usual, like a hero in front of Andira.

"Where? Where's the person, huh!? Let me teach that person a lesson!"

"It's gone, Miss. Sorry for the inconvenience, Ms Andira."

"Eh, it's okay, Mr Banu. It's not your fault, it's the fault of the other person."

Banu nodded. Before long, a figure descending the stairs made Andira smile while waving.

"Please, don't tell mr Satria, okay?" Andira ordered Banu, who immediately understood the situation.

"Yes, take it easy. Then excuse me, Miss."

Andira nodded, she and Tania sat back at the table with a smile that was made as good as possible when Satria approached their table.

"How long has it been, honey?"

"No, really, Baby. Just half an hour ago."

"Hehehehe...." Satria even made a chuckle.

One hand landed on Andira's forehead.

"Half an hour is a long time."

Andira chuckled. His annoyance had suddenly disappeared with the smile of the man in front of him.

"What was it? How come they're on..."

"There are new visitors, but insist on sitting here, even though we are already here."

This time, Tania took over the role. However, she understood that Andira didn't want her lover to be upset with the man.

"Oh, I see. So where is the person now?"

Satria nodded. He didn't know what happened because he was late coming out of the meeting. For other employees, Banu has handled it so as not to leak to Satria about the incident, and most of them just found out that the girl is the lover of their head of field.

"Hmm, that's it. Well, wait a minute, okay. Just enjoy the order, I continue to work for a while."

"Yes, Baby."

"Tan, thank you for wanting to accompany Dira."

"Hehe, relax, Mr."

He stroked his lover's hair before leaving the table to return to his work.

"Fortunately, My love is late, huhh." Andira breathed a sigh of relief.

"If he saw that brat earlier, mr Satria would be very angry, Dir."

"Hmm." Andira agreed because she knew how much Satria loved and cared for her as best she could.

"By the way, I'm curious about who's bothering you, huh?"

"I don't know, I'm annoyed when I remember his arrogant face earlier."

"Hahaha, be patient, ma'am, be patient."

Meanwhile, the man they were referring to was sitting behind the wheel of his sports car. Angry, annoyed and of course there is a sense of wanting to reply. 

"Damn it! This is the first time a girl has rejected me! She doesn't even know who I am!"

"Argg! Just watch out, okay! I'll pay you back for what you did to the cave! You've embarrassed me in public and I'll make sure you'll never rest in my arms!"

"You'll see! You'll be begging me for love!"

He opened the photo gallery on his phone. Before sitting near the girl, he took a photo of the girl secretly. 

"Beautiful indeed, but honey, bitch!"

The man who had never felt rejected by a girl before, felt humiliated and at the same time curious about Andira. Usually the girls will come by themselves, then seduce him in such a way. Don't just accompany them to eat, accompany them to sleep, they are even willing to offer themselves.

Then, the man sent the photo he took on someone's number and wrote something under the photo.

(Find out about this girl! I want the data as soon as possible and make sure no one knows I asked!)

Message sent. The man was very sure, soon he would get information about the girl who was selling a lot of money which made him both annoyed and curious. He will make calculations with her, whether it's for a chance to get love or just revenge, he will enjoy it.
