The After The Rain
Disturbances

Monday was always a busy day for Kinara. Not just on campus, but in Orion.

Orders were unceasingly coming from the first time he stood behind the counter, leaving him with little time to even wet his throat with drinking water.

Parked in a full front yard, a few new visitors looked back after seeing how crowded Orion was today.

Kinara tried to understand. Because Monday is synonymous with heavy days and work or tasks that accumulate. It is only natural that these people then seek entertainment to unwind after fighting all day.

"Drink first, Ra," Jeremy emerges from behind the staff room, putting a bottle of mineral water over the counter after one last visitor completes an order.

"Thank you, Mas Jer," Kinara smiled.

Jeremy also smiled before replying, "Sama-sama,"

"By the way," Kinara paused for a moment to gulp down the drinking water, then after swallowing the water droplets, she continued. "Mas Kala hasn't come yet, has he? I haven't seen it before."

"Oh, Mas Sekala seems not to come today, yesterday he said he wanted something taken care of." Jeremy said while leaning his body on the counter as his eyes swept across the contents of Orion filled with humans from various circles.

"Oh .. That's it, yes," Kinara muttered, then downed the drinking water once more.

"Jer! Back to the kitchen! Don't tease Kinara, Mas Sekala doesn't exist!" dimas shouted, popping his head from behind the kitchen door. The young man did not even care when it was not only Kinara and Jeremy who turned their heads towards him, but most of the visitors who were there.

After shouting, Dimas passed back to the kitchen as if nothing had ever happened.

"A very human defect one," Jeremy grumbled. Even so, he kept his body up and obeyed Dimas's order to immediately return to the kitchen, considering that today they are indeed very busy.

Just getting to the door, Jeremy stopped his steps. He turned around, looking at Kinara who had apparently noticed every move he took.

"If you need help, scream. Call me or Dimas, or the other kids. Don't work alone if you can't," said Jeremy later.

"Yes, Jer, thank you."

Jeremy nodded, then turned around and continued his originally delayed steps.

Meanwhile, after Jeremy's departure, Kinara was again preoccupied by another order coming in. Apparently, the full Orion still did not discourage some people to continue to enjoy coffee and some other menus that can only be found in Orion, for them to take home.

Mama ... tired ... He was grieving inwardly, but he still served the customer with a friendly smile that never faded.

...****************...

By nine o'clock in the evening, Orion was already quiet. There are only three people left who still enjoy their coffee a little.

At about seven o'clock, Andanu and Astari also stopped by for a while to buy coffee and dessert to take home. They said they just returned from attending the event and took the time to stop by for a face deposit.

Kinara was grateful that at least their arrival had managed to make his remaining uneasiness about the previous misunderstanding completely disappear. He thought, Astari won't come again. Thank goodness it was just her fear.

Last week night, when Sekala drove her and Lestari came home from the night market, the man had told her that he still allowed Astari to visit, because it was entirely the woman's right. Sekala also said not to worry because the relationship between the man and Astari remained good.

At first he thought Sekala was just trying to make his feelings improve, but now he is no longer. He believed that what the man said was always in accordance with the reality.

"We're closing after those three customers are done, yeah."

Kinara turned her head to the side, there was Dimas who was already standing towering with a gaze that fell onto the phone in hand.

"But nine o'clock more,"

Dimas looked up, so their gazes met. "It's nothing, it's a direct order from Mas Sekala." Said the young man. And as if knowing that Kinara was a human being that should be given evidence for every word he heard, Dimas showed his phone screen to the girl.

Today is closing faster, so you can quickly rest.

So Sekala wrote in a short message that was then only responded by Dimas with a sticker with a thumb picture.

"Okay if that's the case," Kinara, the mangosteen, looked back at Dimas after the young man pulled back his phone.

"Yes, thank you, Dimas,"

Dimas did not reply again and soon passed to the kitchen to help the others clean up.

Unlike Jeremy who seems more friendly, Dimas has a character that is a little cooler and looks indifferent. Nonetheless, Kinara knew that both Dimas and Jeremy had a high concern for their fellow employees. Only their way of showing concern is different.

After only staying silent to Dimas's departure for a while, Kinara finally returned to withdraw his gaze when his ghost heard the sound of bells ringing loudly, indicating that another customer was coming.

"Welcome to Orion, can we help Ka-s order"

Kinara's sentence was not finished, because the figure that appeared before him was now not a customer that he expected.

Tall youth with slightly shaggy hair and a whisker and a thin beard it ... Kinara could barely recognize him because his appearance had completely changed drastically from the last time they met.

"Why did you come here?" before the young man even opened his lips to speak.

"Let me have a chance to talk to you for a second, Nara." The young man, Atha, was parsing. The look in his eyes was so sad, his voice trembled and his confidence was clearly almost non-existent when viewed from his posture which was no longer firm.

"What else are you talking about? Kan, we're long done. There's nothing to talk about" If he's not at work right now, there's three visitors left, Kinara would probably shout loudly in front of Atha's face. But since she couldn't do that, Kinara could only hold back her anger so as not to break out right now.

"Life is not quiet, Ra. I ... I am not happy with my marriage with Dahayu. We often make noise because of trivial things. We ... "Atha's gaze grew increasingly frustrated, but Kinara did not seem to care at all.

"Happy or not, it's your wife's business. It has nothing to do with me at all" Kinara said with a flat voice and gaze. In fact, his heart ached again and he almost cried. No longer crying over his love story with Atha that ran aground, but crying because God still allows man not to know himself to appear before him, he said, after he took pains to reorganize his heart that had been destroyed.

"I know," said Atha. The young man moved closer, trying to thin the distance even though there was still a counter that was the barrier between the two of them.

"I just want to apologize in the right way to you, Ra. Because your forgiveness might help my life to be quieter and-"

"Nothing," Kinara interrupted. He ventured right into the bead of Atha. The bead he used to be so gilai and almost made him opium. "If you can only live a quiet life if you have forgiveness from me, then please enjoy the rest of your life in anxiety. Because up to this moment, I still had no thought of forgiving you and your wife."

Have you ever heard the term do not make a patient person angry, because his anger will be so evil and creepy? Kinara knew she might not have been included in the patient class itself. But, when he had gotten to the point where he was really angry, he could have been an evil figure. At least for those who have aroused their anger.

"Now, you better go. Because I swear to God, I'm sick of looking you in the face." Kinara tried to push Atha's body to let the young man go from before her.

But apparently the action was wrong, because Atha actually used it to block his arm.

"Please." Furious, still trying to hold back so that his voice is not shrill and make visitors who are still there disturbed.

"Let me talk first,"

"Nothing. Leasin." Kinara tried to pull his arm. However, no matter how much effort he exerted, his strength remained no greater when compared to Atha. So his efforts only ended in vain and his arm even hurt because Atha tightened his grip.

"Report, Atha. It hurts!" he groaned, but Atha didn't seem to care.

"Atha!" Kinara could not bear it, so she finally shouted.

"I'm just gonna talk to you for a second, don't make me look like a bad guy, Ra!"

"You are evil! Leasin!" unfortunately, the more he struggled, the more Kinara felt her arm hurt.

"We talk first, and I'll let you go."

"No way!" Kinara glanced towards the three customers who were there. But unfortunately, none of them dared to come to his rescue. Maybe it was because they were all women, and the present look of Atha was really creepy, so their guts were instantly shriveled.

Kinara had almost resigned and was about to agree to Atha's request to speak together because she didn't want to make a more severe fuss. However, before the intention was accomplished, he felt his arm flinch and instantly escape Atha's grip when someone helped him.

"Don't touch my girlfriend" said the man, leaving both Atha and Kinara frozen on the spot.
