Asti who saw the dispute pak Eko and Asma tried to mediate.
He stepped closer to Mr. Eko and Asma.
Seeing Asti approaching them, Mr. Eko pretended to be surprised.
" Yo, Asti's deck is here too? " ask sir Eko pretending not to know.
" Yes, I'm here with Asma.
We intended to buy the novel that Asma had just held, but it did not exist. "
Answer Asti.
" Pak Eko himself is what here, tumben Pak Eko bought a novel? "
Ask Asti who is suspicious of the existence of Mr. Eko.
" I was looking for an economics and business book that I wanted to read, all of you looking for this novel out of curiosity, he said the story was good, so I took this novel and happened to be the only one. "
Mr. Eko explained to Asti.
" Astma, it is impossible for you to take this novel because Mr. Eko who already got it first. "
Asti tried to give understanding to Asma, if Mr. Eko who had first obtained the novel.
" But Asti, I can't possibly get this novel again. " Asma insists on wanting a novel obtained by Mr. Eko.
" Now, let's talk about this outside, it's not nice if we are the center of attention" said Mr. Eko who saw some people paying attention to their debate.
" I've got the book I'm looking for, and I'll pay to the cashier.
I wait for the deck of Asti and Ms. Asma in front of this bookstore. "
Mr. Eko said he decided that they would not be the attention of others.
" Well, I and Asma will look for a book for a while, we will meet in front of this bookstore. "
Finally Asti approved Pak Eko's proposal.
Mr. Eko stepped towards the cashier with the book and novel he was carrying.
Asti and Asma continue searching for the book they want.
After getting the book they are looking for, Asti and Asma head to the cashier to pay, then meet Mr. Eko who is waiting for them outside.
" How about we chat over lunch, it would not be nice if we chat while standing. "
Mr. Eko proposed that they chat over lunch, and this was already planned by Mr. Eko.
" Okay sir, let's get some lunch first. "
Asma said that disobeyed Mr. Eko's invitation.
Asma wants to do it so that she can get the novel she wants without asking Asti first.
Asti followed the wishes of Mr. Eko and Asma.
Asti thought there was nothing wrong with lunch together, after all he was not only alone with Mr. Eko, and Asti followed the wishes of Mr. Eko for Asma.
Asti felt that if Pak Eko was just a mode, wanted to talk about the novel's problems while eating, why not to the point, would give the novel to Asma or not.
But for the sake of seeing Asma who was eager to follow the wishes of Mr. Eko, Asti just kept quiet and followed them.
They're heading to that restaurant that's in the mall
They walk in tandem. Asti walked beside Asthma and Asthma beside Pak Eko.
" What do we want to eat? " ask mr. Eko.
" Anything, sir, is important to be healthy and full" replied Asthma.
" All right, let's just go there" said Mr. Eko who pointed to a restaurant, and they headed for the place.
They are looking for a seat that is provided outside to make it more comfortable.
A waiter approached them and handed them a menu.
After choosing the food they wanted, they ordered the waiter who immediately recorded their order.
Once calculated, Mr. Eko pays for their order.
" No need sir, let us pay for it ourselves. "said Asma who felt bad to Pak Eko.
" It's okay, Asthma, it's only occasionally" said Mr. Eko to Asma.
Mr. Eko looked at Asti who had been silent since.
Asti looks to be playing his phone, like he is replying to a message.
" Sir Eko sent a message to me?" asti asked suddenly to Mr. Eko.
" Why was it removed again? " ask Asti again.
" Yes, sorry deck Asti. I sent a message to my friend at the office, apparently I sent it wrong.
Mr. Eko said that if he mis-sent the message, but everything was planned by Mr. Eko after hearing that Asti and Asma would go to the bookstore.
" Yes mas, ga papa, I was just surprised, mas send a message to me but deleted again, I think what's wrong. "
Asti Said.
" What about Mr Eko, the novel? " tanya Asma who was impatient wanted to ask that from earlier.
" Oh yeah, the novel? Does Asthma really want that novel? " ask Mr. Eko on Asthma.
" If I don't want to, I won't follow Mr. Eko, let alone to lunch together. I just did not ask Asti for approval to join Pak Eko lunch. "
Said Asma who was upset by Mr. Eko's question.
Asma felt that Mr. Eko only wanted to play tricks on himself.
" Don't be angry so ma'am Asma." said Mr. Eko relaxed.
His hand opened the bag containing the novel, then took out the novel.
" Well, this is for Asthma, but if you're done reading it, can I borrow it? "
Mr. Eko placed the novel on the table, then shifted it to Asma who was sitting in front of him.
" Areally, Mr Eko? " ask Asma did not believe. He was happy because he finally got the novel he wanted.
" How many people do I have to pay back to pay for this novel?" Ask Asthma again.
" No need to pay, I can also borrow from Asma to be able to read the novel. "
Answer Mr. Eko with a smile.
He spoke to Asti, but his eyes looked at Asti.
" Areally, Mr Eko? " ask Asma to make sure.
" Yes ma'am Asma, please just bring the novel. " replied Mr. Eko for sure.
" Well.. Thank you, Mr. Eko, thank you, "said Asma who felt very happy.
" Together, ma'am Asma." said Mr. Eko to reply to Asma's thanks.
Before long, their order came and they ate the food.
In between meals, Eko said to Asti if he wanted to take her home.
" Dek Asti, where are you going? " ask Mr. Eko to Asti.
" No, ma'am, I want to go straight home" Asti replied.
" In that case, the deck Asti will go home with me, we happen to be one way." Mr. Eko offered to take Asti home.
" Thank you sir, I can go home with Asthma, sorry if Asthma comes home alone.
Pak Eko's house is not far from here, if Mr. Eko takes me home later Mr. Eko even has to return home again to return home."
Asti refused the invitation of Mr. Eko who wanted to take him home by giving the real reason.
" It's okay, I'll bring my own vehicle, I don't feel bothered, Asti deck. "
Said Mr. Eko who insistent want to deliver Asti.
" I'm sorry mas, I can't, I go home with Asti just." said Asti firmly.
Asti did not want Mr. Eko too much hope for him, although Asti always refused the invitation of Mr. Eko and never returned his attention, but Mr. Eko never gave up.
Especially now that Asti is engaged to Tomi, so he does not want to continue chasing after him.
" Why deck Asti? Why does the deck of Asti always reject and avoid me? " ask Mr. Eko in a disappointed tone at Asti's refusal.
" I'm sorry sir. Eko, it is not my intention to disappoint let alone hurt Mr. Eko. Right now, I am engaged to Tomi, so I don't want any misunderstanding between us.
Especially at this time, Tomi is on duty out of town, I don't want her to hear news about me with other men. "
Finally Asti explains about her current status who is engaged to Tomi.
Asti does not want Mr. Eko to expect too much from him, there are still many young students and lecturers who expect Pak Eko to be your partner.
Mr. Eko fell silent to Asti's explanation. There was pain in his chest when he heard Asti was engaged to Tomi.
Mr. Eko felt he did not accept Asti's explanation and felt that Asti was lying to him.
" Is it true that Asti's deck is engaged to Tomi? Was the Asti deck just toying with me and wishing I had stayed away from the Asti deck? " ask Mr. Eko who looks closely at the face of Asti in front of him.
" I'm sorry, mas. Since long ago I already knew if I consider mas as a friend who helped a lot in my early days as a lecturer. She gave me a lot of advice and guidance.
I consider Mas Eko just like other lecturers who are good friends with me. I'm sorry, mas, my engagement with Tomi mas did really happen. This is proof of our engagement ring. "
Asti gave an explanation to Mr. Eko about the position of Tomi mas in Asti's heart.
Asti also shows the engagement ring he is wearing as proof that he is not lying to Mr. Eko.
