06 - DISGRACEFUL

Zeline is now sitting pretty in a cafe in the area around Seminyak. She orders her favourite lemon ice tea. The light brown-haired woman is waiting for her old friend who happens to be the owner of the cafe she visited. They had promised to meet and miss when Zeline has free time in Bali.

After ten minutes of waiting, finally, Bagus, the cafe owner, and Zeline's old friend came over. They spent their time chatting, and Zeline came to deliver a wedding gift for Bagus and his wife.

"Thanks a lot, Zel. No need to bother giving gifts like this," said Bagus when receiving a gift from Zeline.

"No need to hesitate. This is also an expression of my apology for not being able to attend your wedding, Gus," said Zeline.

"My wife must be happy to receive this gift. She would love to see you, but she is busy tonight."

Zeline smiled, "Next time, arrange some more time so we can get together. I'm also curious about your wife, a woman who wants to marry a playboy like you," Zeline teased.

“Damn it! There is a time for playboys to repent. After all, I don't want to waste a woman as patient as my wife. She is entirely different from the row of women I've dated, "said Bagus.

"In that case, thank God. I'm happy to hear that. I hope your marriage will long last and long life, ”Zeline prayed sincerely.

"Aamiin. How about Bali? You feel at home here? " asked Bagus, and Zeline nodded enthusiastically.

“Of course, Bali has always been amazing for me. I like the beach and the sound of the waves as if lifting all my burdens. Unlike Jakarta. Traffic and tiring."

"Just move over here, Zel. By the way, when will you follow me to the aisle?" asked Bagus.

Zeline chuckled as she stirred the salad. "You mean, married?" Bagus nodding. "Who should I marry? I'm still single, Gus. Also, no man has asked me to marry yet."

Bagus was surprised; he did not think that a woman as beautiful as Zeline would still be single or alone.

"You're kidding right, Zel? There's no way a woman like you is single." Bagus doubt.

Zeline slapped Bagus's arm lightly as she chuckled again. "What kind of woman am I? Do you want to make fun of me? I don't have a boyfriend."

"Do you want me to introduce my friend here? He's a jewellery businessman and owns a lot of famous restaurants too. I think he will suit you well." Bagus intends to become a matchmaker.

"Thanks for your offer, Gus. But, I'll look for it myself. You know, I always fail to make a match when arranged," said Zeline, and Bagus nodded with a laugh.

"Okay, if that is the case. I'm sure you can find a boyfriend of your own. But remember, Zel, don't be too picky. Let me know when you've found your soul mate, okay. I'll try to attend your wedding later," said Bagus.

The time is already 10.17 p.m. in Bali. Zeline is already very full with the free offerings that Bagus gave her, and she is also satisfied to talk with that man. At this time, it was time for Zeline to return to the hotel to rest.

At the hotel lobby, her cell phone rang, an incoming call from Fini.

"Yes, Fin!"

"Where are you?"

"Me? I'm in the main lobby."

"Tsk! Come here quickly. I've been waiting for you a long time in Mesya's room."

"You guys been there?"

“What's your room number? We are there!"

"601!"

The telephone line was simply disconnected. Zeline shook her head at the thought of having a friend like Fini.

><><>< 

Arriving at the room, Zeline put her cellphone and bag on the table. She rushed to take a shower and let Fini, Mesya, and Vera do whatever was in her room. Zeline just wanted to freshen up her body which she had spent the whole afternoon outside. The weather in Bali is not much different from the weather in Jakarta; it's hot.

Mesya came with her fiancé, and Vera was also with her crush and Fini would look for her crush tonight, before they wrestled hotly in their respective beds, they would take the time to accompany Zeline who was always alone when on vacation, even though Zeline herself felt no need for their actions. For this time, the reason her friends are in Zeline's room is to find out how far Zeline's online dating has progressed.

Zeline's cell phone vibrated on the nightstand. Vera picked up Zeline's cell phone and saw what notification came up. It turns out that there are three WhatsApp sent from foreign numbers. Vera's level of curiosity increased, and she presumptuously opened the chat.

Fello

Zeline, are you busy? Or are you sleeping?

I want to ask you on skype. I happen to have no activities

Call me if you have free time.

Vera's eyes widened when she saw the contents of the chat. A smile appeared on her beautiful face. It turns out that Zeline is in the middle of an approach with one of her friends from her dating app.

"Great Job, Zeline!" shrieked Vera, making Mesya and Fini turn their heads. "OMG !!! Zeline—" Vera shouted again when she saw the profile picture of a man named Fello.

Mesya and Fini approached Vera, while Zeline looked dazed when she just got out of the bathroom.

"What's wrong with you?" Zeline asked curiously.

Mesya, Fini, and Vera, the three of them compactly smiled mysteriously at Zeline.

"Your progress is so fast!"

"Nice catch!”

"Amazing! Satisfying!"

Zeline frowned, trying to digest the ambiguous words of the three friends.

"What are you guys talking? Get used to speaking in clear and normal language. I'm not a clairvoyant who can understand your sign language," complained Zeline.

Vera held out a cellphone screen that showed Fello's face. Zeline stood up instantly and grabbed her cellphone.

"What are you doing with my cell phone?" asked Zeline.

"Just read the skype invitation from a handsome guy named Fello."

"Hurry up and open your skype! I can't wait to see him and give him an assessment of whether he's worthy or not," said Mesya.

Zeline exhaled heavily. The level of her friends' loneliness has entered a threshold above average so that no one can help, and Zeline follows their orders.

Before activating her Skype connection, Zeline first informs Fello to get the man ready there.

Zeline's Macbook was placed on the table, and Zeline herself sat on the floor with a thick carpet, while her three friends sat crammed on the small sofa behind Zeline. Zeline shakes her head at the outrageous behaviour of the three of them.

Instantly the screen of the Zeline MacBook shows a handsome shirtless man, and the view is relatively fresh. Broad chest, six-pack stomach just like torn bread, tight muscles. That man's body was like that of the International Top Model who often appeared in sports magazines.

Either Zeline, Mesya, Fini, or Vera, all of them simultaneously froze and unconsciously held their breath, enjoying the beauty of God's creation.

"This is heaven!" muttered Fini.

"He's not human!" said Mesya.

"I'm in love," Vera whispered.

Zeline herself is still staring at things that can damage the performance of her brain. Zeline's daydreams shattered when Fello greeted her.

"Hi, Zeline. Are you okay?"

“Huh- Yea… yeah! I am fine."

"But why does your face look pale? Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes, I'm good!"

"What are you doing? Oh, sorry! I just finished the Gym. I haven't had time to shower and get dressed. I'm sorry for being impolite."

"I even want you to put down your black pants!" muttered Vera.

"Oh, Shit! I'm horny!" said Fini.

Fello seemed to hear and understand what Fini said just now. He put on a curious face. Zeline turned sarcastically at Fini and gestured to her three friends to shut up and not say anything strange.

"Are they all your friends?"

"Ah, yes. They are all my best friends. Sorry to make you uncomfortable. My friend wants to meet you, Fe!”

"Oh, of course! With pleasure. I’m Fello. I settled in New York. I'm a new friend of Zeline."

"Oh, my God! His voice is so sexy. My uterus was immediately hot as if it was drenched in his millions of sperm!" whispered Fini.

“Are you single, Fello? Introduce me. I’m Vera."

"Yes, of course. Ah, I will remember your name. Ver-a!"

"My name is Mesya! It's good to see your chest."

"What? You, what?"

"Nope! Mesya said she's happy to meet you!"

Zeline gave Mesya a sharp gaze because of her blunt words. Mesya only grinned in response to Zeline's gaze.

"I'm Fini. You have a great body. Are you a model there? When are you planning to go here, Indonesia?"

Fello seemed to think in response to Fini's question. Just about to reply, Zeline interrupted him.

"Ignore Fini's question. By the way, what are your plans for today? "

“Oh, okay! I don't want to go anywhere. I'll just rest at home, maybe later in the afternoon I'll take a walk on the beach."

"Have a nice day."

"Thank you, Zeline. May you sleep well and have sweet dreams."

"I am going to sleep. I'll give it up first. Next time we talk again.”

Zeline chose to end her skype with Fello. She could no longer see the sight that made her dizzy and had difficulty concentrating. While there, again, Fello put on a disappointed face when he heard Zeline want to end their video conversation.

"Ah — Alright. I'll call you later. You must take some rest. Ah, by the way. You look prettier without too much make-up. I like it."

Instantly, the heat attacked Zeline's face. Her face was covered with a red tinge. This guy on her MacBook screen is dangerous. Besides being able to damage the performance of her heart, he is also capable of destroying the contents of Zeline's head.

"Thank you. Bye!"

Zeline closed the screen of her MacBook and took a deep breath, which was followed by her other three friends.

"For God's sake, Zeline!! He looks like an angel!"

"My vagina suddenly got wet just because I heard a voice and his body was half-naked!" said Fini vulgarly.

Zeline shuddered in horror at Fini's words and then hit Fini's arm hard.

"I can imagine how big and long and hard his is!" said Vera.

"Oh, Shit! You three quickly get out of my room! The presence of you guys spoils my mind!" kick out Zeline.

"Can I have his phone number?" asked Fini, gifted with Zeline's piercing gaze.

"No! There you go! You are annoying, how embarrassing," Zeline scolded.

"If Fello goes to Indonesia, you have to tell all of us, okay!" said Vera, and Zeline rolled her eyes.

Zeline squeezed her forehead, which suddenly doubled her dizziness after the three friends had left her room.

It's hypocritical if Zeline doesn't admit how HOT Fello is. Zeline felt a strange tingle appear when she heard Fello's deep and sexy voice, plus a body like a perfect sculpture from God that was created to destroy the performance of her brain.

Zeline did not deny that she wanted to meet Fello in person. But, Zeline would not rush, let alone insist that the man come to see her. After all, Fello is not necessarily the person who can afford a New York - Indonesia plane ticket. For better now, Zeline finds out more about that man.

Again Ricard chuckled in front of the mirror. He fixed his appearance, which was so disrespectful. He forgot to wear clothes when Zeline told him if she was going to take him on a Video Call.

Ricard was initially quite surprised when he saw that on his cellphone screen not only Zeline's beautiful face was there. But behind her, there are still three beautiful women Ricard doesn't know. But somehow, Zeline's face without make-up is more attractive to look at than the three faces of Zeline's friends.

Thought that Ricard wants to look at Zeline's innocent face every day when she wakes up or is going to sleep. Oh, Shit! Thought too far.

Strange fantasies lingered in his head. His dirty brain thought about what if Zeline's thin lips he kissed and crushed repeatedly. He would make sure they tasted sweet. Shit!

That stick is standing down there! It was just thinking and imagining Zeline's face. It looks like Ricard should have his brain checked at the hospital!

Ricard had to take a cold shower, to get rid of his perverted thoughts and wild fantasies with Zeline.
