The Angel of Time
chapter 27

That night I was not on shift with Astrid, I was sitting at the door of the room with the door open, I was playing games while looking at Astrid who was at work. I looked at him who was walking towards me. I think he's gonna give me his HP for asking for help in the carger. Right in front of me he walked away hesitating\-doubtfully and looked at me.

"I can't go home for a while?" ask Astrid.

"Why do you want to go home?" askaku.

"I got a napkin, and I didn't bring a sanitary pad" he said.

"Emmm maybe." I said.

Suddenly Astrid headed to the cashier room, there were already consumers waiting for her. He walked quickly to his cashier. I put down my phone, and stood towards my little bag. I grab a little something, and I walk out. This is my first time, I went to a mini market, I walked to it was a shelf for women. I don't know which one to buy. There are two winged and non-winged softk. Because I don't understand, I just take what was written the other night, and it's winged. I immediately headed to the cashier with a pack of pads, and chocolate. I don't care if it's embarrassing or not. I went to the cashier to make the payment, and the cashier was a guy. I saw the cashier holding back a laugh while staring at the sanitary pad. Ah I'm a little embarrassed, but let this be the first time too.

I immediately rushed back to the outlet to meet Astrid. I bought it without saying. I put that stuff in his bag in the mess room.

"Astrid.." I called him. And Astrid walked up to me.

"Let's see it in the bag!" I asked him to see it. Astrid frowned and opened the mess door. Astrid looked at me, and laughed.

"Huh, did you buy this?" ask her.

"The shh is already in use." I replied.

"Thank you.. Haha but this is wrong" he said.

"Wrongly what?" ask me with a laugh.

"This is just to get some more sleep! Ahaha.."

"I don't know.. Haha different, huh?" my many.

"It's different, if the winged one is for sleep, if that makes an activity that has no wings" he explained.

"Haha, I don't know, I'm a guy. Don't know how rich that is." I said.

"It's okay, I'll wear it first."

Astrid went to the bathroom to wear it. I know what rich needs are. This time I bought that thing. And it's wrong.

At that time I was washing my hands suddenly Dita came to me," mas you bought it to Mbak Astrid right? You are not ashamed of me.."

"Sssstttt.haha yes shame, the cashier is just laughing look I bought it." I replied.

"But you are against me.. Haha."

"He told you?" my many.

"Well, the guy laughed. Haha, really your struggle!"

"That's important he doesn't have to go home. Haha."did I.

On March 1, 2017, as usual our outlet held a monthly briefing. I never tried to sit next to Astrid, instead I stayed away so as not to impress people dating. We're not dating either. Just to avoid the eyes of other children\-kids to stay focused on the purpose of this briefing.

"Udah calm down first.." I approached Astrid who was panicking, her graceful face turned pale, her smile and laughter, and her cheerfulness began to fade. His eyes looked teary, his hands were trembling. He's drowning.

"So it's under the cash register! I swear I'm not lying, I'm ready for that place." Astrid explained with her regretful tone.

"It's okay, I'll see you later." I tried to calm him down.

"So how's mbak?" ask Mas Matin.

"So did I say the same Dita, have you calculated yet capital? Keep Replied not yet mbak, continue I say the capital is below the usual place. It doesn't exist, but it's really there." Astrid explained,

What can I do to help her other than to calm her heart. I know he must have been hit with this.

Suddenly a\-sound sounded from behind the outlet. We all headed back, Mas Matin found a box of capital money that had been lying with a scattering of notes\-notes of sales, which were made one with money turnover. Some of us took photos as evidence that might later be identified. I had found barefoot human footprints when it stepped on the water and treaded on the floor. I analyzed the possible actions of the thief.

Astri still seemed to feel chaotic, he continued to blame himself. I tried to convince and calm him, that it was not his absolute fault.

"It's my fault, try if the money I don't give it to it will not disappear!" astrid.

"Not that, it's called a hitch. We don't know, what's important is that you try to keep it." I said.

"I'm quitting" he said.

"DON'T!!!" I was surprised by what he said.

"I feel guilty" he said.

"If you go out, people will become suspicious of you. Don't resign, there'll be a way out." I said.

Astrid occasionally closed her eyes, her eyes reddening the sign that she was about to cry. Never have I seen his face as bright as the sun, now completely covered in black cloudiness.

"Sir Matin, my salary was cut to make the lost return" Astrid said.

"What's? Can't be so mbak. This is not purely your fault, just another time be more careful" said Mas Matin with a smile.

"But I was the cashier." said Astrid.

"Yes, but we're also briefing outside of all. We don't know there will also be rich events. You are calm, then let the office come here. Udah to, you do not have to think about it as late as that" said Mas Matin.

That afternoon we all waited for a decision whether to continue to open stalls and sales or we closed because we lost capital money. We decided to pray magrib first in congregation. It was me who tried to make the Adhan, then we prayed together.

After the prayer was over I sat on the shoe rack, I was wearing shoes. Astrid stood in front of me and smiled. I was surprised that smile was not what it used to be.

"Why?" my many.

"So you were the Adhan, and I heard. I feel calm. And I said to Dita." she stopped going on.

"Say what?" much

"Dit, I want Gio to be my soul mate" he replied.

"Hhm." I was happy with what he said, and I was very calm. I can only smile hearing it. In my heart I said hopefully.
