The night wind blew. It blew the broken hair in front of Yanis’ forehead. The eyes underneath were still steady, that there was no superfluous expression on the little white face.
-I have finished what I want to say. If President Zain has no other things, please go away.
The tall figure remained in place, without any reaction, only a pair of dark eyes looking at her.
He had no intention of leaving. Yanis waited a moment, but he, still did not leave. She simply turned around and walked back to the store without looking at him.
As she entered, Brisa watched them not far away, watching with satisfaction as her daughter talked to the young man standing in the doorway.
Although the distance was not very close, Brisa clearly saw the man’s appearance. He was like a minnow newt, standing out from the crowd. He had a calm mood from the beginning until that moment. He was not excited. It was no wonder that he could let his daughter grieve for him.
Seeing the girl return, Brisa tried to stop her, but was unable to do so, so she had to follow Yanis into the kitchen.
-How’s the talk? Did you clear it up for her like I told you?
-Yes.
Yanis answered in a sad way. Originally she was full of enthusiasm, but after seeing Zain, her whole body was like a puppet that had lost its string, lying there weakly, very pessimistic.
-If you have done it, what is the result, why do you look so weak, is it because the two of you have not come to an agreement?
-Mom, don’t laugh at me,” Yanis turned his head and lay down on the table.
Brisa immediately turned back to the other side.
-I care about my daughter’s emotional life. How come I’m laughing at you? I don’t care about other people’s things. I look from a distance and I think he’s a talented man. He has waited for you one day. Don’t just worry about his own bad mood.
-I didn’t. He waited for me just for other things. I have already told him clearly and we will not have any more contacts in the future.
As for the last sentence, Yanis seemed to have lost all his strength and hid his face in his palm.
Brisa remained silent.
The daughter had answered him like that. She did not know what to say.
That way, until the restaurant closed for the night, there was still that figure in front of the door. Several employees finished work, leaving one after another. As they were leaving, they came together and had a whispered discussion.
-Look, he is so handsome. He looks more handsome than the man who came to pick up the boss last time. Has he been waiting for her all day? Why is she ignoring him?
-I don’t know. Maybe our boss doesn’t like him? -Is that why she won’t listen to him?
-She has good taste in men. She still doesn’t like that excellent one.
-Our boss is a capable, but invisible woman. She has a restaurant of lamian, and she’s even sought after by the man who drives a luxury car. Does she have another hand in flirting with men?
-Don’t talk nonsense. We have been told by the lady’s mother about Mr. Mastache last time, that they rented the restaurant to our boss. Besides, he has a wife and he loves her very much.
-Wow. Men have little infatuation. They only talk with their mouths. Who knows if they will become a couple in the future?
-There’s never been any hurry to speak ill of the dead, so don’t talk nonsense and let’s go quickly.
They gathered themselves together and left.
When Brisa packed her things and was about to leave, she didn’t expect Zain to still be there, so she couldn’t help but walk towards him and said something.
-Sir, go away, okay? You’ve waited a day and you haven’t eaten anything.
Seeing her age, Zain’s eyes twitched, -Madam. It’s a pleasure.
-It’s nice to meet you. I’m Yanis’ mother,” Brisa introduced herself and then said, “Don’t wait any longer. Come back early. Don’t upset your stomach.
The corners of Zain’s lips twitched, revealing a shallow smile.
-Thank you for your concern. I’ll wait a little longer.
Brisa felt she couldn’t persuade him and the other party was very polite, keeping a sense of distance. What surprised her was that he didn’t beg her, Yanis’ mother, to speak for him. That made Brisa admire him even more.
Then Brisa returned to the kitchen and tugged on Yanis’ collar.
-When are you going to be paralyzed? Are you going home or not?
Yanis was lifted from there with a slightly resentful expression.
-I’ve been busy for two days. Can’t I rest a little longer?
-Even if you want to take rest, you shouldn’t rest here. Go back and take a shower. Eat something and sleep in your big bed.
Yanis was speechless.
Hopelessly, he had to get up and started tidying up. Finally he went out with Brisa.
Then, as he walked toward the door, Yanis’ footsteps stopped for a moment. There was a discreet expression on his face. He really… didn’t he leave?
I would have thought that, according to Zain’s temperament, he would definitely leave after telling her.
Unexpectedly, he was still there.
Brisa winked.
-Would you like to talk to him?
Yanis frowned and said, “Mom, did you do it on purpose? Didn’t you tell me in advance?
-If I told you, you don’t have to come home tonight, do you?
Her daughter fell silent.
That reason was so powerful that it could not be refuted.
Yanis approached her with a stupid expression, as if he hadn’t seen Zain still standing there. She had already decided, that she should hold her position.
If she was relieved by her all-day wait, how would the injuries she had suffered before be counted?
She didn’t want to continue to despise herself like this.
The door to the restaurant was very wide, but because Yanis and the others were going to pass by Zain’s side, she wanted to go that way to go straight around. Brisa stopped her.
-Anyway, you don’t plan to talk to him anymore. Are you afraid to go through him?
In the end, Yanis was pulled by Brisa and passed by Zain.
Soon, as she passed, Yanis heard his cold voice.
-I have something to tell you.
Did you have something to talk to her? What about? Yanis evoked a smile of sarcasm, without answering her. He even walked fast.
Zain frowned slightly, couldn’t help but take a step forward to block her path. And then he looked at Brisa apologetically.
-I’m so sorry, ma’am, for delaying you for a few minutes.
Brisa declared to him, -You solve problems for yourselves young ones. I’ll wait next door, Yanis, speak softly.
Yanis replied, -Mom….
It was already very late. Many stores in the street had closed. The street lights made the two figures much longer.
At the end of the day, Zain seemed to be a little embarrassed, unrefined as usual.
Looking at him like this, Yanis felt joy on the sly. “I made you experience the usual feeling of mine.” she thought.
That day she was so hungry like this. All day long.
If she had gotten what you want in the end, it would have been fine.
Unfortunately, she didn’t. She was seriously injured.
Thinking about it, Yanis said to her coldly.
-Do you have something to say to me? Unfortunately, I have nothing to talk to you about.
