22. Hot Watering pot

Randy and Ira stared each other.

The two of them were silent and did not dare to take the initiative to say hello or anything.

'Shit... Why is Ira here?!' Randy stared at the cash register in front of him while gritting his own teeth. 'Wait, what does it mean that some of the bad feeling came from Ira?! If it right, then... farewell, my comfortable life...!'

Randy immediately thought of the worst possibility in his life.

"Ex-excuse me..." Ira does not want to remain silent, and prefers to face the person in front of her.

"What can I help for you?" She asks as she's holding paper and pencil, her eyes closed forcefully, her mouth smiled wryly, and her whole body trembled.

It is an awkward moment, meeting lover at the workplace. Moreover, they don't know or realizes that this will happen.

Immediately, the young man comeback to his consciousness and looked at his girlfriend with a flushed face.

"I want to buy..." He orders while his hand trembling. Randy orders foods that are ordered by Farida, and Ilham.

There was a little embarrassing feeling when he will touch each other with his girlfriend when he wants to receive the order.

"Enjoy!" After giving the 3 sets of food, Ira brought her face closer to her boyfriend. "I gave you a little extra..." she said softly.

After that, she pushed her face back and gave a sweet smile to the boyfriend.

Suddenly, the smile made the man's face become red as a fresh tomato in the field.

"Hehehe, thank you..." Randy's head deflated like balloon and back to his desk like a balloon who was blown away by the wind.

---

While at the table, Ilham and Farida looked suspiciously at their deflated friend.

"What happening to you, you like deflated balloons?!"(Ilham)

"You look like an idiot..." Farida put on a disgusted face.

Without explaining anything, Randy immediately gave the sets they ordered to front of them.

BUK!

Randy sat down without removing his deflated face.

"Really, what really happening to you?!" Ilham asked his strange friend.

"It seems... I know where it is come from!" Farida stared at the cashier with a poker face.

Hearing that, Ilham tried to see what Farida saw.

His worried face turned relieved after seeing a familiar face at the cashier.

"Oh, my god, I thought it something bad..." Ilham looked at the girl while scratch his own head.

"Why is Ira here?" Farida looked intently at the girl.

She suspected that the girl had a nasty plan to spy on her or him.

But that was when she had nothing else to worry about besides Time Fracture, and now, there is nothing to worry about, Ira will not suddenly attack her while she off her guard.

'Did she take a par time job just to spy on Randy?' Farida stare foolish at the girl.

Could her jealousy is more than jealous and has advance to ultra jealous?! Anyway, It's impossible for Randy to cheat, he's too cowardly to do it.

"Never mind, I don't care about that..." Farida moved her gaze back to the food in front of her.

Her eyes shone brightly, and the saliva on her tongue seemed to flow down as she stared at the food.

"In the name of God... Amm!" Farida ate her Kentucky and forgot about all her problems.

"Ah (sigh)... What a mess girl..." said Ilham bringing his head closer to Randy who was pumping his head back to normal. "... like to eat without thinking about who pays!" Ilham's eyes look teary.

"Calm-your-self(Randy fills his head like a balloons)... If-you ignores your wallet-and more prefers choose the girl you treat, maybe you'll be her boyfriend..." Randy gave advice.

"That's right, maybe I try to do that to that new transfer student!" Ilham got a nasty plot from Randy's incitement. "If I could ask her going out for a meal, maybe she would..." In his mind, he had already thought of 1000 possibilities that would never happen to him.

"Huh?! Ywou wyant two dwo thwat?!" Swallow her food. "Instead get a love, you just become her walking wallet!" Farida insulted her friend who had treated her.

"Look, how cruel she is!" Ilham complain at Randy who was fully loaded(his head) with tears who was wet his cheeks. "She throws away all my confidence!"

"Yeah, but isn't that was an impossible thing?" Randy suddenly acted like a love expert.

His palm was raised up, his chin was leaning at his own palm. He put a smile full of confidence.

"If you want to conquer a woman, first, you must..."

Randy make both of them become interested in his stupid game.

"... Good-looking!"(Randy)

Hearing the first suggestion from Randy, Ilham suddenly straightened his hair like it was being pomade.

"Second, you have to rich..."(Randy)

Hearing the second suggestion, Ilham looked at the contents of his wallet. The contents are thick, but full of small denomination. "The important thing is my wallet are thick!"

"Third, you must be strong!"

The strong meaning Randy says leads to something ambiguous.

"Strong what do you mean?" Farida looked strangely at her friend while playing with the cans of drinks that were on her.

Randy made an optimistic smile and looked so convincing.

"Of course, be strong in muscle...! What do you think?" But the answer Randy gave make Farida disappointed.

"Just like that?!" Farida sighed and even the sound of CRACK was heard from the can that was kneaded until crushed by her.

"Yes, what else do you want? Girls like when the guy is useful, especially when it comes to strength..." Randy leaned his body into the plastic chair he's sitting on.

Farida put on a sullen face and crossed her hands, her face unwilling to look at the young man who gave her false hope.

"Just to make sure to you, not all girls like to be considered weak, there are also girls who want to be considered strong!" (Farida)

"But isn't it that if the girl is strong, then the guy will be considered to take cover behind the girl's back?!" Ilham objected at Farida's opinion. "It will even tear the pride of the man apart into pieces! Hehehe... A man who takes cover behind a woman's back is a loser!" Ilham laughed through his nose, his voice mocked the guys like that.

But...

BRACK!

"WHAT'S THE MATTER THEN?!" Farida hit the table so hard.

The other visitors immediately saw the three of them.

Neither Ilham nor Randy didn't know what to say at this moment, the atmosphere at here was very chaotic.

"So-sorry..." Randy taped his palm and was directed to another visitor to apologize.

His wry smile looked embarrassing, he was even at a loss for words and want to throw away his face.

'I want to eject this memory immediately!' (Randy)

"Fa-Farida... What's wrong with you?" Ilham looked worried, he didn't know what he was doing, but he had to apologize immediately. "If my words offended you earlier, then I apologize..."

Shortly after hearing Ilham's apology, Farida tried to return her consciousness back to the current time.

"Sorry... I'll take my leave...!" The girl left this restaurant.

But before that, she was like putting something under her food set tray.

At this time, now on the table there were only Randy and Ilham looking at each other with puzzled face.

TACK TACK TACK!

The sound of loud and fast steps coming close to here.

"What happened?!" (Ira)

"It's nothing... Just a matter~-" Randy wanted to say 'just a matter of girl nature!' But since the one he's talking to right now is also a girl, then Randy is afraid that Ira will offend by it.

Even though Randy could calm her down using his powers, but that would sound not good for him or her.

"It's personal, maybe..." Randy immediately changed his word.

"Should I go after her?" Ilham who was still sitting quietly tried to ask for advice.

"Let her, if the girl is like that, you should leave it alone... Let just watch her from afar!" Ira lectured Ilham with the menu book she was still holding, but when she said 'Let just watch her from afar!' The book was turned towards Randy.

The code? Randy seems to understand.

But at this moment, Randy's eyes were attracted by something else.

What he looked at this moment was what Farida had left under her food set tray.

When he picked it up, he found something...

"Money..." that's what the young man said.

Instantly, the two people who were with him (Ilham and Ira) stared in surprise at what Randy found.

"Ah (exhaling)... Come on, what really is happening to her?" Ilham looked at the table their just use in bewilderment.

"What are we going to do about this?" Randy said back while showing the money that left by Farida.

"I don't know... I have promised to treat you guys, so I don't want to keep it..." Ilham is currently at a dead end.

But, the girl standing next to him gave another look at the money.

She slowly walked closer to her boyfriend, her head close to each other, her lips blowing into his ear hole. "What if we just to wait for the Time Fracture? I will return it to her... By force!"

Hearing the suggestion, Randy nodded in agreement.

"What are you whispering?" Ilham gawked because did not understand the behavior of that lovers.

BONK!

Right after Ilham asked, the sound of glass breaking was heard.

The sound indicates one possibility, it was the beginning of the Time Fracture.

"Take care, Ira!" Randy smiled at the girl.

Seeing that warm smile, Ira just walked back slowly backwards.

"Just stand still at here, wait for me! We're going hunt the monster together again, right?!"

Randy nodded and saw the silhouette of the girl disappearing.

Shortly after the chatter, they parted.

"Mimicry!"(Randy)

"It's a pity that I can't move in Time Fracture at the moment..." Randy sat back down with his disguise magic still active.

He was immobilize not because of Farida's problem, but now he felt that there was a lot on it.

It looks like there will be another great ongoing war...
