That simple dinner was fun. Cindy was happy to see them eating so well. Though what he cooked is just the usual cuisine of capcay, stew chicken and shrimp balado.
“I was starving because I was stuck for hours in a traffic jam. But now I am very full,” said Ravino.
“I'm also really full,” added Doni.
“Do you guys want to eat again?” ask Cindy.
“No, thank you. I'm already very full,” reject Ravino.
“Thank you for dinner, it's so good,” praise Doni.
“Sama-sama, Mas,” said Cindy.
Cindy felt lucky to meet such a good person in her life.
After everything was done with her dinner Cindy cleaned up the leftovers on the table with the help of Dawn. While Doni and Ravino continue their chat while watching tv in the middle room of the apartment.
“Eh, Mas Dawn is not necessary. Let me,” prevent Cindy.
“Nothing. Consider it a reply because you have prepared dinner last night,” said Fajar.
“But ...”
“But why?” ask Dawn.
“Not good, Mas,” Cindy said.
“If it's not good, just love the cat,” joke Dawn.
“Mas Dawn could have been,” Cindy said.
Eventually Cindy relented and let Dawn help her.
Cindy and Dawn were instantly familiar. They tell each other their lives. Fajar has a family and it turns out that Dawn is Reno's brother.
Whoa! How fortuitous.
Ravino and Doni were watching football on TV when Cindy came with dessert.
“This, I brought the pudding. Make friends watch TV,” said Cindy.
“Thank you, Cindy,” said Doni.
After putting avocado pudding on the table in front of Ravino and Doni, Cindy returned to the kitchen.
The clock has shown at 10 pm, Doni was ready to go home. Before that Doni gave some money to Cindy as a token of gratitude.
“This is for you,” said Doni.
Cindy looks confused to see some money in Doni's hands. “What does Mas Doni do?”
“Just take a gift from you,” replied Doni.
“Gift?” Cindy was confused. Why Doni gave a gift to her when it was not her birthday.
“Iya, a gift for you because you have prepared a good meal earlier,” said Doni.
“Oh it. No need, Mas.” Cindy refused Doni's money.
“Nothing. Just take it," tell Doni.
“But, Mas ...”
“No rejection,” Doni said.
Doni pulls Cindy's hand and puts the money he holds into Cindy's palm.
Cindy felt bad about it. Especially when Cindy accidentally saw Ravino. Cindy was afraid that her boss would get angry.
“Already accept it. Think of it as sustenance for you,” said Ravino.
“Iya, Mas ..” says Cindy.
Cindy finally accepted the money after getting permission from Ravino. “Alhamdulillah.”
*****
It's not been a month since Cindy worked at Ravino's apartment. As per the promise Ravino actually gave Cindy a salary three times her salary at the restaurant.
Ravino and Cindy are much better off. They are like friends, not like their employers and assistants.
So does Cindy's relationship with Doni. Doni loves Cindy very much. Ravino's best friend even considers Cindy like a sister.
Ravino was confused to see Doni's unusual attitude to Cindy. Until Ravino finally found out why.
Cindy is also confused by Doni's attitude towards her. Cindy was even afraid to accept the things Doni gave her.
“What's the reason Mas Doni was so good to me?” inner Cindy.
To get rid of her curiosity Cindy also ventured to ask.
Doni came back to the apartment. By chance Cindy sees Doni standing alone on the balcony. Cindy stepped into Doni's place. It was an opportunity for him to ask the reason behind Doni's kind attitude towards him.
“Mas Doni ...,” call Cindy.
Doni immediately turned to the origin of the voice and saw Cindy was right behind him.
“What's up, Cindy?” ask Doni.
“I can ask?” Cindy said.
“Can only. What do you want to ask?” ask Doni.
“Mas Doni really good with me?” ask Cindy.
“Can't I be good with you?” Tony asked Cindy.
“Eh, yes can, Mas. But there must be a reason, right?” Cindy said.
“What do you think is my reason?” Doni is determined to seduce Cindy.
Cindy frowned and let out a long breath. “If I knew .. I wouldn't ask the same Mas Doni.”
“But ... Doni couldn't possibly like me, right?” Cindy guessed it herself.
Hearing Cindy's words, Doni immediately laughed loosely and it made Cindy feel confused.
“Mas Doni is laughing? Is something funny?” Cindy pursed her lips.
Doni stopped his laughter instantly when he saw Cindy's face that had been flushed red from enduring embarrassment.
“Cindy, I do love you,” I'm Doni. “But —”
“But what, Mas,” by Cindy.
Cindy is confused by Doni's words.
“But darling I'm the same you're rich dear sister to her sister. Because you remind me of my sister,” said Doni.
“Although your face is not similar, but the same taste of your cooking is similar to my sister, Tiara,” explained Doni.
Cindy bearded as if to understand the words of Doni.
“Thank God unfortunately only as a sister,” said Cindy.
“Kok you are very cool if you love the same just as a sister?” ask Doni.
“Yes, Mas Doni. I'll not have the burden of the mind, because I will not be able to bales the feelings of love, Mas Doni,” explained Cindy.
“Indeed you don't have a crush on me. I'm not less handsome than your boss is loh,” Goda Doni.
“Mas Doni could have,” Cindy said.
“But indeed Mas Doni's sister is now where?” ask Cindy.
Doni just shook his head. His face was also suddenly sad. “He's gone, Cind.”
Doni's face turned moody, considering his sister had an accident two years ago.
“Sorry, Mrs Doni. Cindy don't know.” Cindy rubbed Doni's shoulders to strengthen her a little.
Doni pulled Cindy's hand off her shoulder and rubbed Cindy's back.
“What-what. Now there's you, right,” said Doni. “You want to be my sister?” Cindy nodded her head. She probably refuses to have a foster brother as good as Doni.
“Yes please, Mas. Who does not want to be given money bought clothes, bags, shoes and jewelry,” Cindy said.
“Basic matre.” Doni pinched Cindy's cheek as she felt anxious.
“Open matre, Mas. But sustenance should not be refused,” reply Cindy while rubbing her newly pinched cheeks by Doni.
Doni pulls Cindy into his arms and kisses Cindy on the forehead. From that day on Doni raised Cindy as his sister.
