Oh no, I'm late, I have to hurry ...
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ----
Arriving at the restaurant at 8:20 am.
Fortunately, it was still quiet, only Lucy and two other female friends had arrived and were having breakfast. I also took the food in the back, to eat with them.
But when I went to the back of the restaurant, oohh no ... Roger was there, what should I do ...
I turned around but then thought ....
If I don't eat and the guests are crowded, I'll be busy and hungry. Uuugghh .....
I forced to brave myself, pretending nothing happened, just acting like normal.
While taking the food, my left eye has a wide reach and several times saw him turn to me even though he was cutting vegetables. I don't care, and pretend I don't see it.
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ----
Breakfast and briefing were finished, we got ready and standby at the checker. Usually, I standby in front of the Food Checker, but this time I feel embarrassed if I stand there, because it must be visible from where the Butchers works.
So, this time I will standby at the Drink Checker, which won't be visible from the Butcher's place.
The guests began to arrive and it was crowded, I was busy delivering drinks, pacing back and forth. And finally delivering a food to the Checker's place, which asked to be exchanged by the guest.
Without realizing, that I finally stood in front of the Food Checker for delivering the food.
I:
"The guest said this was wrong, it should be kale balacan but he got garlic kale," I said to all the Food Checkers who heard.
Tedy:
"Okay ready, immediately replaced," he said and immediately put the plate to the backside and then get back in front of me.
"Where have you been, Diana, I thought you don't come to work today.", Tedy invited me to chat while waiting for a replacement meal to be ready.
I:
"I'm in, I standby in the drink checker because it's quite less waitress standby there." I reasoned.
Andy:
"Diana, I just meet you now. I want to tell you something ..... we want to play again and rent a studio after work, will you join?" interrupted Andy, who suddenly appeared.
I:
"Hmmm ..... how can I tell ..... I want to come if in the day while I'm not working. Because it feels so tired after working.", I answered honestly, not because I knew that Roger was watching.
Andy:
"It's okay, come with me next time," he asked very charmingly.
Tedy:
"Here is the kale balacan. Yes, it is already late night, you can't invite her to play at night because she is a girl, his mother will scold her later," said Tedy to Andy.
Andy and I didn't answer and got back to work.
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ----
Finally, the day is over, at 10 o'clock, the guests have left. I got ready, cleared the table and plates so I could go home soon.
Triinggg ..... text message tone on my cellphone.
From: Roger
Message:
Today after work, do you want me to accompany you to get home?
Take the bus, right?
Oh no, another awkwardness. How could it be, he was willing to take me home using a bus. Even less he lives here, must be very troublesome to go back and forth to accompany me home.
What should I do ...
From: Me
Message:
It doesn't matter. You will go back and forth.
I can go home alone.
He replied immediately.
From: Roger
Message:
It's okay, I'll take you. I'll wait in front.
Sigh ..... how come, he's always like that, approaching me very boldly. And somehow I can't even refuse it.
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ----
On the way home, he asked many things, and I just answered.
This is the first time I was approached by a man who seemed to really like me and make me couldn't sleep.
He made my heart blossoms ...
zzzzzzzzzz .....
