Annoying First Meeting

Chapter 5

Nirmala again passed Kevin who was sitting with his hands on his lap. The man's gaze was blank. There was no smile on the man's face. He poured a lot of sadness on his face which looked very sour.

Nirmala just walked away from the young man, he did not see Nirmala passing in front of him. I don't know what he was dreaming about. Was he in pain from the slap earlier?

Until far away. Nirmala stopped, and saw that the man was no longer there. Like being swallowed by the earth. When did he get out of there? Maybe it was blocked by passersby so he was out of sight.

Nirmala was standing under a shady tree. Waiting for an angkot that will pass there. He looked at the clock on the large wall at the market gate, it was 10:00 in the morning. His thoughts are not good, will he be scolded by Aunt Asih because he is at the market. He ignored her request to stay home.

He had thought that Aunt Asih must have come home from the rice fields. With a rush of blood pumped from his heart. Nirmala tries to calm down. Aunt Asih is a good person. So Nirmala doesn't need to worry.

A hunchbacked old woman walked up to Nirmala, her hair was white and her skin was wrinkled from the face that was visible to the tips of her feet. He limped carrying a wooden stick as high as his stomach, approaching Nirmala who was standing there. Carrying a black plastic bag on her shoulder, Nirmala rushed to find alms for her.

"The rest of the money for me to take an angkot. But that's okay, sustenance will come from all directions," he muttered by giving one ten thousand bills.

The old woman apparently did not ask him for money, she shook her head. Just pointing across the road which is far away for him to walk alone with his weak legs. Nirmala put the money back in her pocket

"Grandma would you like to help cross the road?" Nirmala asked, bringing her face closer so her grandmother could hear.

He nodded his head. Dan showed a smile that was not visible because the fine lines of his skin covered his dimples and forehead.

Nirmala finally realized that the old grandmother could not speak. But she could hear what he was saying. Or not he just saw Nirmala move her lips while saying a few sentences.

"Come on Grandma," Nirmala helped her across the street. Not yet at the end of the road Nirmala sprained his feet. And it hurts to walk.

Because the market conditions were very crowded, a motorbike accidentally hit the grandmother who was walking one step in front of Nirmala.

A man immediately helped him, he blocked a motorcyclist who was in a busy market road condition but was traveling at high speed.

"You see a busy street like that, bring a reckless motorbike!" the man shouted loudly at the rider. The road was jammed for a moment because the three of them were standing in the middle of the road.

"Sorry Sis, I won't do it again," He finally admitted he was wrong and apologized.

Nirmala has not seen the man's face. Because of a hat covering his head. But from his appearance like the man he met in the market earlier. The shirt and shorts he was wearing were exactly the same.

The motorcyclist immediately left them. The man immediately carried the grandmother and dragged Nirmala's hand.

"Ouch slowly," shouted Nirmala her legs were still difficult to walk. Nirmala could not see the face behind the man's hat.

"Who the heck is this man. He doesn't show his face to me at all," Nirmala mumbled, dragging her aching leg due to a sprain.

At the end of the road, the man lowered the grandmother and removed her hat that covered her entire head.

Nirmala saw that it was true that he was a man in the market. He was furious with the man. The feeling of annoyance had not gone away. Even though it's been slapped it feels less.

"If you can't cross people, then you don't have to act like a nice woman!" His words suddenly made Nirmala shocked.

"Don't let bad things happen to this grandmother," he repeated, his words were very spicy because of the current price of chili. Nirmala was still silent because of the pain in her leg.

Had he not noticed that Nirmala had a sore leg? What a heartless man

The grandmother held Nirmala's hand, and Kevin's hand. The grandmother smiled broadly at them. Nirmala. Didn't see that smile earlier. This time his smile broadened. There was a trace of happiness on his face. Nirmala is happy to see her.

"I'm sorry, Grandma, I almost hurt my grandmother," said Nirmala full of regret.

The grandmother bowed her head. Dan gave a coded hand waving as if to say it was okay. He walked away from the two who were standing there.

Nirmala returns to face Kevin. He pushed her a second time.

"Hey, look, if you talk about how I look first, I sprained my leg in the middle of the road," Nirmala defended herself.

"You don't need to push. Twice, you dared to push me like this. Huh, you've always been talking nonsense!" Kevin continued, still in a sharp tone of voice. Very painful.

"Sorry I'm lazy to argue with you again. I want to go home," answered Nirmala, crossing again where she had stopped before. With legs that haven't healed yet.

Kevin watched Nirmala get there. Nirmala accidentally turned her head, Kevin was caught looking at her. It didn't take long for him to leave.

"Huh, what a strange man. Why did I get so angry when I met that man. It's really annoying," Nirmala muttered by turning to the right of the road, Afraid that an angkot might be missed if you didn't pay close attention.

"You weird girl. The second time on the same day she made me feel bad," Kevin grumbled. He intended to return to the shop where he worked.

With a motorbike borrowed from Mrs. Rosa, Kevin got there. He bought some kitchen ingredients that were running low.

A pair of four eyes lurking. Hiding behind the wall. Record a video of Kevin's activities every day. Reporting every activity that Kevin does.

One of them contacted their master. Andre Winata is Kevin's Papa. It is impossible for his parents to let their son wander without a purpose in life. He kept a close eye on Kevin's progress.

"Master Report, today Young Master Kevin works in a simple shop not far from the main road. Young Master has just bought kitchen supplies from the market," said Leo explaining the video that was sent earlier.

"You guys continue to monitor Kevin's progress, don't let them find you," Andra answered from the other side of the phone.

"Ok, big lord, we will carry out lord's orders." Leo replied.

"Miss Rosa, here are some of the things I told you to buy," Kevin said placing a large black plastic bag on the kitchen table.

"Yes Kevin, thank you," answered Mrs. Rossa who was still busy serving buyers.

Andra's men entered the shop, which looked clean. Seen from several corners of the wall which is decorated with several hand-painted directly on the wall. Looks elegant.

There were less than ten tables with four seated around the place.

Leo and Seto sat down to choose a table near the cashier. He immediately shouted his order.

Looking for information on Mrs. Rosa about Kevin during work.
