Accidental Encounters

"Wait at the shop across from the hospital. I'll catch up."Wistara told Wildan when the two of them finally separated in the hospital lobby. Wildan nodded, then stepped towards the exit.

As Wistara said, the shop he was referring to was actually opposite the hospital. The store was not so crowded, even at this time there were only a few visitors.

Wildan who never stopped by the tavern walked in through the push door. The Voice of greeting from the shop clerk broke his reverie, because it was as if the voice was familiar to him. He also set his sights on the figure guarding the cashier desk.

The figure of the beautiful-looking girl was greeting her with a big smile. However, the smile turned into a twinkle of surprise. The girl misbehaved, even looked clumsy. Look into their eyes meet.

"You ...." The hanging Galuh speech finally succeeded in connecting. The atmosphere became uncomfortable between the two.

"I ordered one hot vanilla latte and one cold americano."Wildan ordered while taking a wallet from behind his suit. Seeing Wildan acting ordinary and like people who don't know him, Galuh felt a little relieved. However, it is the feeling of guilt that makes him uneasy on his own.

"Yes, Sir. I prepare extra creamer that can be added by myself." Galuh trying to be professional by serving orders Wildan. "Please Wait, I will prepare the order."

Wildan did not respond to Galuh's words. He just stood quietly watching what the girl was doing. He did not act as if he knew the Lord. The situation that makes Galuh feel uncomfortable because of the way Wildan watches all his movements feels like killing him.

"Here's the order." Galuh handed orders Wildan, then back at the cash desk. "Everything is fifty-seven thousand five hundred rupiah, including taxes."

Wildan issued a hundred thousand rupiah note. He handed the money to Galuh who received it with trembling hands. Wildan was still acting ordinary, voiceless, like people who never knew each other. However, his eyes were still watching whatever Galuh was doing.

Until Galuh gave the change along with the payment receipt, Wildan did not let go of his eyes on Galuh. The girl was clumsy.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

The door of the shop opened, wistara appeared and the road approached towards Wildan who had just taken his order.

"Mas pesen what aja?"Wistara asked his eldest brother.

"I Ordered An Iced Americano. Your favorite, right?"

Wistara nodded. "No lunch? I was in the hospital and hadn't eaten at all." Wistara is waiting for Wildan's answer. "I ordered food, yes. Black pepper beef here champion, really." Wistara touched Wildan's shoulder and returned to the cashier's desk.

"Hello, Miss Galuh? How are you?" Wistara greet Galuh. Wildan was quite surprised to hear that, as well as Galuh who did not think that the man who became his customer also knew Wildan.

"Hello too, Mr. Wistara. Alhamdulillah good. How's he doing?" Galuh asked, with a stammering tone and eyes that occasionally glanced at Wildan.

"Well, here's the thing, still handsome, right?" wistara teased Galuh. "Where Have you been for a few days?"

Galuh thought of a reasonable answer for Wistara because it had been two days he did not come to work because of the incident he experienced, and Wildan was involved there.

"There's a need, Ma."

"Oh, I see. Are you done?"

"Thank goodness, Ma."Galuh replied with a forced smile. "What do you want? Are you still on the regular menu? Hot plate kale?" ask Galuh, do not want to engage in conversation longer.

"Yup, that's right. And ... and a packet of black pepper beef, yeah. My oldest brother is a lover of black pepper cows. He must be addicted if he tasted the menu here. Okay, Mas?" Wistara embraces Wildan's shoulders with a satisfied smile.

"I have no appetite, Tara."

Wistara still embraces his eldest brother's shoulders, planning to lead Wildan to the bench at the end of the room. While with the tail of his eyes, Galuh observed the movement of both.

"Don't think too much about me, Mom. We can find a solution." Wistara tried to calm Wildan. "If you were to go for treatment in Singapore, it wouldn't be so bad." He paused his speech. "One more, so mas hurry to find a wife so that Dad is calm."

"Throw." The sound of falling spoons made Wildan and Wistara look for the origin of the sound. Apparently Galuh who had been nervous at the same time listening to what wistara and Wildan were talking about dropped the spoon.

"All right, Miss Galuh?"Wistara asked worriedly.

"It's safe, man."

Wildan observed Galuh looking down, not daring to look into his eyes. He then chose to sit in a chair opposite the cashier desk. He deliberately chose that place so that he could observe Galuh.

"Sit down, I'll take you to the table." Galuh asked Wistara to sit down. Wistara looked at him with an astonished look. "I'll take you when you're ready, Ma'am."

"Well then." Wistara also walked closer to the bench chosen by Wildan. Again he frowned because his eldest brother had chosen an unusual place.

"Sit here, Mom? Tumben?"

"It's much more comfortable here, " he replied, briefly with his eyes towards the cashier's desk, where Galuh was also stealing glances at him.

Wildan and Wistara also engaged in a conversation about the condition of their father. Galuh delivered their orders with a bowed face.

"Why are you hesitating, Madam Galuh? Am I so scary today?" Wistara again teased Galuh. "Or maybe ...." Wistara glanced at Wildan. "the face of Mas Wildan scares you?"

Wildan glanced at him, making Wistara laugh out loud. "His face is so fierce, Mbak Galuh. But the liver is very tender and very flavorful." Wistara spoke while closing his mouth in a half whisper. Galuh smiled hesitantly with the corner of his eye still glancing towards Wildan.

"Get me a wife dong, for this Masku, Ma'am." Wistara again chattered. "I've introduced my friend's young doctor, but there's nothing he likes. I wonder if Mr. President is even interested in his personal assistant rather than women. Ck ck ck."

"Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Wistara." Suddenly Arya appeared from behind the door and immediately joined them. He seemed surprised to see Galuh among them, and was even more surprised when he realized that Wistara knew him.

"This is what I was talking about, Mr. Galloway. Handsome, right? That's why Mr. President fell in love with him," whispered Wistara while holding back a laugh.

"Cut the crap, Tara."Wildan spoke softly, but very firmly making Wistara clench his jaws.

"Maybe Mbaknya willing to enter the list to schedule a blind date Mr. President of us," said Arya that makes Wildan again mendelik, but aimed at him.

This time Wistara laughed louder, even until he hit the table in front of him. "That's not possible. This girl is a workaholic."

Galuh's wry smile became the subject of their conversation, but he also couldn't protest because his situation made him unlike him who was usually.

"How much would you like to go on a blind date with me?"

Wildan's speech just now made Galuh gawk, not expecting the question to be addressed to him. Furthermore, Wistara who was laughing now kicep, with glaring eyes. She did not expect that her brother who did not talk much dared to ask her that question. While Arya who was sipping mineral water choked made.
