I'm Not a Man's Own Taker
Chokes

Just when the clock has shown at 12:30 WITA. Food delivery courier order from Ritna. As Ellia had ordered this morning. Now we are in front of the counter.

Just then, Ritna suddenly felt her stomach mule once. While the courier is still busy opening the box and choose the food order customernya. Because it was kebellet, Ritna asked Ellia to welcome the food.

"Sister, I suddenly want to go back. Brother, please welcome the food first huh?! The courier is ahead. I can't stand it, brother!" ritna said as her hand held onto her lower abdomen with a face that looked like it was tormented. Because it's holding something down there.

"God! Yes, hurry up! Let Brother meet him." replied Ellia as she moved from her seat. And out of the room, intending to meet the courier that Ritna meant.

"Thank you, Brother!!!" ritna said again with a shout because she had run a bit far back. Go deeper into that counter.

And Ellia was waiting behind the storeroom. To welcome the food courier who appears to be a man.

"Good day, excuse me Mba'! Is this true with Mba' Ritna? I'm the food deliveryman from Ibu Hajja Almeira stall, Mba'." said the courier asked politely and kindly. He also handed a white plastic package with two boxes of food inside to Ellia.

"Oh yeah, that's my sister. He's going to the back. How much is it, Mas?" ellia answered, then asked. By welcoming the plastic bag wrap that is thrust towards it.

"Em.. everything is only 69 thousand Mba'." replied the Courier.

"Ooh.this!" ellia said, giving one hundred thousand dollars to the courier. "Return, take it! Thank you." Ellia continued later.

"But, Mba'! It's mostly. I'll give it back. Waita minute!" said the courier immediately reached into the bag of his little sling bag that was right in front of his chest.

"It's okay, Mom. Just take! I'm sincere." said Ellia again as she turned to go back into her room.

"Wait a minute, Mba'!" the courier held Ellia's steps.

"Hem??! What's up?" ellia asked, stopping her steps and looking at her head. Then he looked at the confused face of the courier, whose only eyes were visible. Half of her face was covered with a mask.

"Em... can we get acquainted? It seems like this is the second time we have met here. If I'm not mistaken, you're the girl who was once the recipient of food from my mother's stall. And the food deliveryman at that time kept his identity a secret. So you thought that food contained poison. Do you remember?" said the courier asked at the same time gave an explanation for the meaning.

Then, the courier tried to lower the mask. In order, Ellia could see his face and recognize him.

"really?! Em.." said Ellia by staring at the questionnaire's face. "I'm sorry...?! I really don't remember, Mom. When did that happen? Maybe I've met strangers too often. So that makes me forget about it. But, it's okay. Introduce, my name is Ellia, E-L-L-I-A." Ellia continued, to be honest. And stretched out his hand to get acquainted with Mas the courier. And spelling out each letter in its own name.

"Well, you've forgotten that, haven't you?! I thought you still remembered it. Alright. It's okay, forget it! No need to apologize. My name is Adzriel" said the courier, whose name is Adzriel. While smiling sweetly to display one dimple.

"Okay, thank you Adzriel. For not making a fuss about our first meeting that I forgot. Now, you know my name and I know yours. So, is there anything you want to ask?" said Ellia so flat and indifferent.

"There's still one, Mba'. But, I apologize in advance for asking about this. I know my question may be a little personal. But I couldn't help myself not asking. It's okay, if you don't want to answer. I'm just asking." said Adzriel mince words before going to the core of the question. Which Ellia might not respond well later on.

"Hmmm... How come it seems, I have a bad feeling about it huh...???! Quickly ask, what is it about?!" ellia's orders were impatient and also had a bad feeling in her mind.

"Em...sorry??! At our first meeting, you wore a veil over your head, Mba'. But not anymore. Where did that veil go Mba'? Sorry, if I'm so bad to ask you like this! Did something happen a few years ago after our first meeting?" adzriel said quietly, fearing to offend Ellia.

"I know this is too personal for you. And you also just got acquainted with a few seconds ago. You must be uncomfortable talking to me about that right now. But really, it's a coincidence that I can be reunited with you. I have so much to say to you. But time is very short for that. May I have your personal mobile number, Mba'?" adzriel added again, as well as asking for Ellia's mobile number at last. While thrusting with a little hesitation his phone towards Ellia.

"Em.honestly, I don't like giving my personal number to strangers. But it's okay, I'll give it to you. Come!" ellia asked for Adzriel's phone.

And Adzriel gave his cell phone to Ellia with pleasure. After that, Ellia began typing her mobile number into Adzriel's phone.

"It...!" ellia said by giving the phone back to the owner.

"Thank you, Mba'! Well then, enjoy the food. Excuse me, Assalamu'alaikum!" adzriel said, saying goodbye.

"Yes, thanks. Wa'alaikumsalam." replied Ellia.

Without Ellia and Adzriel noticing. Ever since the chat they started discussing Ellia's personal matters. Ritna was done with her affairs in the back. And when he was going back to the front, he accidentally heard the chatter of two adults. By force, he abandoned his intentions and waited there until the courier left.

"Mba', where's the food?" ask Ritna.

"So let's eat!" ellia answered while showing the plastic in her hand.

And they both sat directly on the fur carpet that was available behind one corner of the counter knick-knacks display cabinet. To eat their own food there. While eating they chatted casually.

"I think, the courier was... Like Mba' Ellia deh?!" ritna tried to guess.

"Hem.. uhuk... uhuk...!" ellia coughed at Ritna's words.

"Good, Mba'! Forgive me?! It's Mba's first drink." said Ritna feeling guilty. While giving drinking water to Ellia immediately. To relieve Ellia's cough, as a result of choking on her own food.

"Slow down!" ritna again saw Ellia who hurriedly swallowed her drinking water.
