Suddenly, someone pulled the chair right next to me. Nobody else audaciously did such an action, except Ryan. That's the reason why I grabbed his arm without any permission and forced him to sit down so that he can help me getting out of the trouble his mother had planned.
After ensuring that he sat comfortably, I landed a spoon of gravlax, marinated salmon with dill potatoes, closer to his mouth. I was so shocked when I realized that the person sitting next to me wasn't Ryan, but a customer whom I met for the first time.
Aunty Lusi laughed for a while because of my stupidity and carelessness, before introducing him.
"He isn't Ryan, but Hanan Mikail", she said.
"S-sorry...", I said.
It was a bit awkward, a shameful incident. I wished I could hide my face on the hollow. But, Hanan Mikail, he acted like nothing happened by showing off a knot of smile before nodding his head.
Huff, how shameless. Being apathetic is the biggest weakness of mine which ended up to be foolish carelessness. In the future, I'd make sure that's the right person before dragging someone down without a consent.
"Aunty, you've a kind-hearted, you don't mind eating with a waitress", he said while glancing at me.
Hey, Hanan Mikail. What's wrong being a waitress; it's not an unlawful job. There are many great people did a part-time job as a waitress while studying abroad to have additional incomes.
In addition, there is no prohibition saying that restaurant owners can't eat in the same table with waitresses. Every person has the same rights to be threat well, it's human rights. Who is he to classify humans based on his desire ?
"Hanan is kidding, don't take it serious!", Aunty said.
"Let me introduce you, this's Ara Sofia, my niece from Indonesia", she continued.
Based on the way she treated him, it's clear that their relationship is quite close; he could be Ryan's friend or colleague, I guessed.
Hanan Mikail joined us for a few minutes before leaving the Da Lusi after having a phone call. Thanked to anyone whom made him getting out soon.
There's an inconvenience which is difficult to describe, I couldn't understand why his presence bothered me for some unclear reasons. There's something annoying about him that could even vaporize my appetite in the air.
There's a certain awkwardness to be irked by someone since I'm getting used to ignored almost everything and never get annoyed easily. But, he can piss me off just by saying a few words.
I also never harbored hatred towards anyone, but after seeing him, I became very angry.
