"I don't know... she said she'd pick me up.""Okay... I'll drive!"Hehehe... I also realized that Zetta was very emotionally unstable. Okay see you Rama...""Oh yes Li! Zetta doesn't need to know... it's just between us... and after the ring is on your finger.. just be casual with me...""Eh? What should I call you then? Om?" I asked teasingly."It's okay... You can call me babe!""Ba-be?" I repeated. "Ih... why babe anyway! Babe.. honey! Or should I call you to love? Sweetheart? My boo? Sugar? Honey? My love? Try it later while you think about what to call it. Okay?" I asked too eagerly. I could imagine Rama's face, which must be smiling like crazy.I chuckled."I've figured out what to call Rama...""Hem... what? What the hell!""Oi!" I immediately disconnected the call and burst into laughter, surely Rama was swearing at home! What the...I was able to sleep for a few hours, to unwind and relieve my stress after talking to my former teacher. I got a text from Zetta that she and
I let go of the hug, "Yeah not like that either... let's go, don't look back! Let's go!" I ordered and he immediately took my hand to walk towards Zetta who was already holding a drink holder that could be filled with four plastic drink cups, but now it only contained three, so I she got one for me too!"What kind of drama is this, holding hands together? Are you guys really engaged?" asked Zetta suspiciously as she looked at our intertwined hands."Eng... will you be able to wait and I'll explain it in the car?" I snapped. Fortunately, Rama didn't say much and opened the door for me. Zetta I stood questioningly ... and finally got into the car in the front passenger seat, while I was in the back ... and Rama drove the car.We all got into the car and Rama started his journey. About five minutes into the drive, I explained what happened."That's crazy! He's so shameless! I mean, he's old!" Zetta protested. I silently agreed with her. Mr. Harold is old, how old is he? 35? Could it be m
"The point is that Jude and I are like the moon and earth." she continued, being really dramatic when it came to her romance."Then all you have to do is say it!""If he runs away?""Chase him, bro!""If he disappears?""Take a taxi and chase him, he disappears then use a summoning spell!""Ah... what a guy! He's not an easy guy, he's like... hem... really quiet! Not a Harry Potter too...But when it comes to work, he's really fast! I just feel bad about the decision to quit modeling... I feel bad about separating from him.""Try it ... you call, tell me about the next schedule, I want to hear ..." I suggested, I wanted to know how stiff the guy was."Oh... is that so? What time is it, is he already asleep or not? I have to ask really important questions if I call him this late at night..." I could see she was starting to get confused looking for an excuse."Just tell me you have a bit of a cold... tomorrow's schedule can be postponed or not, 'I'm afraid I haven't recovered yet', then w
I was about to turn around, so that the figure who was looking down wouldn't see me coming, but... He looked up and came to me afterward. Dang!Ugh... here we go again! His eyes looked straight and fierce at my hand with the ring on it. Straight to the ring! Yay... Note the sarcasm. I smell trouble right away.This could be a long night! Long on nagging and anger?"I'm engaged. I'm sorry, I don't want to be slandered by my fiancé..." I said quickly and went into my room. Running away is my best ninja move because I can't possibly face him too, right?"This is for the last time! After this I won't bother you!" he held my hand as I passed him, I couldn't help but stop and look at him."It's very clear sir, I already have someone." that's a standard statement! He can't deny it!"You love him?""Is that important to ask?" I snorted."It's important for me.""You think it's important? Why is that? You and I don't have any relationship other than a coworker and former student-teacher. that'
We finished the work until the lunch break, so after this, we will not work on the previous project... all done. So what was supposed to be finished by the end of this week can be finished quickly... thanks to teamwork. During this time... from morning to noon, yes apart from the fact that I was only in the editors' room too, I didn't see Mr. Harold at all. At all! Yes, I'm not complaining, but I'm also thinking about what kind of face I want to put on when I meet him later. An indifferent face? Didn't he say that after last night he won't chase me anymore? Yes, no!!! So should the business between us be limited to inviting coworkers?"Li... let's have lunch!" invited Rama and I immediately nodded. We walked together to the outside area, and down the stairs together, but the good thing about walking with Rama is that he's not pushy... he doesn't insist on holding my hand, and he doesn't insist on being close to me, it's just normal. So far there has been no sighting of Mr. Harold at a
I held my chest, which was now gasping for air, like after meeting the devil in broad daylight! The difference is that the demon is not scary at all... it's like meeting a vampire, Edward Cullen! Lah.. lah..why do I want to compare Harold with Edward Cullen! It's my brain! Something wrong with it! I hit my head again. I'm going crazy because of that guy."Lili! Why are you hitting your head? Why are you sitting down!" was Rama's voice... and his footsteps came closer... and sat beside me, checking what I was doing.I winced... even though inside... my shock wasn't over."I'm doing the dishes," I replied quickly."But how come your face is like after seeing the devil?!" he asked in surprise."Um... no.""You are pale!" Rama pointed at me."No... just from lack of sugar. Hehehe... don't leave your work, I will take care of this, later when it's finished, I will go to your room again.""There is work, photocopying some stuffs. But after you finished this one!" Rama finally left the room
"Lili... Gosh Li, lucky you're okay Li, thank God.. you're safe now, okay.. don't be afraid anymore. Hem..." With his manly voice he said that with his panic tone. He squeezed my hand gently with that straight look. I know I'm okay now, the whole incident seemed to happen very fast... and horrible, if I flashback, it feels like death has knocked me, but maybe it's not my time yet, it's not time for my spirit to leave my body? That's why someone saved me, out of the people at the office, out of everyone in the office... the question is... why Mr. Harold?"I felt like it was hard to leave you there... I got to my room and then came back, opened the door and found you screaming in distress.... I was in shock too Li! Fortunately, my brain is still working. Thank God..." he said again with a tighter hand squeeze.That's right, maybe this is his destiny. Maybe he was sent to be my savior today, I can't imagine without him.Then I felt that my chest felt full, tight... shaking too. I didn't
Maybe because this is not the first time I've slept on Zetta's bed which is of course bigger, softer, and smells better than my mattress either at work or at home ... anyway it feels like sleeping in the clouds ... I'm really tired. Maybe I woke up before sunset. Yes, it's not allowed to sleep like this, but what else can I do... my body is already completely exhausted. It's like I'm going to sleep right after .. I'll just sleep... I don't care. I'm already yawning from earlier... but my best friend has already started babbling. I intended to just go to sleep, just leave her sleeping ... how come I was so surprised by her story that I gaped in shock. What the... absurd really! "Crazy! That's so weird!" I said."I said what the hell! That's why I want to talk to you. Is it true that Jude's ex came back and asked for a reconciliation? It's weird, she was the one who cheated on him and now she's asking him back! That's crazy! I told Jude to flatly refuse but he's not comfortable with t
Yep... that's funny! Because there was one pair of eyes watching me. I'm from the side because I'm stepping forward, but I stop in the middle of the road. Like a child's toy that becomes a statue, you know? Who was looking at me? No doubt, it was Mr. Harold... he was grinning and scratching his chin! I think it's hard for him to be happy."Yes just in case! That's why I emphasize here, no one is free to order my men without any information or coordination with me, whatever it is, except for emergency matters. The meaning of emergency is related to life and death!" said Rama sternly, they were talking about anyone who asked me to do their chores and Rama forbid them to do so again.I swear, he's super cranky! I think it's because he's forced to hold the typo-studded author, that's why he's super annoying and sensitive today. "Yes, Rama ... don't be so sensational. You two, you can leave the room!"Mrs. Claudia said, and it felt like we could breathe again, I pushed my friend out quick
Rama asked us all to get into the car, then he drove the car fast, but not in the way it should be. This wasn't the office... he was going to the out-of-town route."Where is this going anyway? You took the wrong turn!" I protested."Yes, we're going to the mall... I want to buy you another engagement ring! The last one was broken."Dang! He really made that announcement! He's not pretending! He even made a statement that the ring was from him, in front of Dominic, who was the source of all the gossip in the office! Death to me!"What! So the guy who gave the ring was Rama after all! Ooh... so this has been in the planning for a long time... what a boss! I've been thinking for a long time, but unfortunately, the ring melted, boss! Is it better to just give Lili a ring with plastic? One with plastic elements, or rubber! I don't think rubber conducts heat!"Tsk... I just chuckled to myself, so Dominic still thinks that I bought the ring just for the sake of pretending?"Dom! Why can't
After lunch, Rama and Dominic cleaned up their bags, I who didn't know there was a meeting, or any business could only gape. I didn't remember there was a meeting, because if there was a meeting I would have been notified, right? Photocopying and so on, but not this!"Come on Lili!" invited Rama."Eh?" I could only look up in surprise."What are you doing? Where are you going?""I didn't tell you? I want to meet that nasty author! It's already been leaked to the public that she wants to publish here, and there are already many who want to PO try! So we... oh sorry, Rama couldn't help but obey her wishes, meeting at the cafe to discuss the T&C contract and its implementation details."I scratched my head, not connecting with what he was saying."What does this...mean? How?"Dominic was willing to sit down first to explain what happened to me, "So Miss Lili... this cat...""Don't use abbreviations! Her name is car?""Catherine! Just call her cat... okay, so she submitted a script to us
"Hemph... what's wrong if he's stalking you? Scared? You've already been kissed ... hehehe ..." Zetta teased unfriendly. Even though she's Rama's sister who is my fiancé, how could she say that?"Don't add to the turmoil in my heart! Enough!" I scolded and she laughed."I'm just telling the facts... the facts are so. After all, he won't harm you, even if he wants to harm you, he should have done it a long time ago? Why does he want to try now? So what I'm saying is that you don't have to think about whether he follows you or not. I don't even think about it.""Easy for you to say..." I complained."It's like that everywhere babe..."I felt better until the next morning when I decided to go to work. I asked Rama to take me to the office, not to his office anyway... to my mess, because my work clothes were all there, right?"Let's just go anyway! What's wrong with borrowing Zetta's clothes?" asked Rama, "The problem is that her clothes are all tight on me...""Double the cardi. So I do
"Lili... take a shower first, then we go for a walk." Zetta invited, and I nodded. After all, she's the one who owns the house, she's the one who has the money to go to the cafe.Inside the room I looked for Zetta's clothes that I could wear, it's not a new story that I wore her clothes... we stay with each other too often, and things like this are normal. I didn't need permission either... she already guessed later. I didn't bring anything with me because of her too, so I went straight to his house.I took a clean underwear, then the biggest pair of jeans and then the loosest blouse I could find. Zetta tends to be thinner than me, and she likes to wear clothes that fit her body... so if I wear clothes that fit her, my address is already like wearing a condom! The shirt clings to the body. Not funny at all!The baggy jeans, once worn, actually fit my body, a little tight in the thighs and buttocks, fortunately the blouse could cover those thighs and buttocks, because it was quite long
I'm the one who's thinking more and more, and it's hard to sleep. For people who have been exposed to electricity, aka high-voltage electric shock until they are taken to the hospital, my body is all crumpled and the intention is to sleep early ... and now it's two o'clock in the morning, I'm still awake. I can't sleep anymore, imagine the torment! This is all because Zetta is like pouring gasoline into the fire of chaos in my heart, so I'm already in there! What a mess! Fire on chaos. I know... that's too much. But you got the point right?Maybe I can only sleep around half past five? So bad! Luckily I told Zetta that it was dawn and I hadn't slept yet, so I gave her notice! Don't wake me up... at all costs! She nodded in understanding and went to the bathroom.I only woke up at nine in the morning, so even though I was forced to sleep again... that was it! I was still sore, my sleepiness had completely disappeared! So I just couldn't sleep anymore.Waking up and going out, I found t
I immediately turned around and chased Zetta.What the hell!Zetta was still telling me how she seemed to be madly in love with Jude."I've never fallen this deeply for a guy, and he's the closest thing to my ideal type! I've kept my heart, I've endured it when I found out he was married, and once he got divorced... it's already blossomed so much, how could I deflate it again? My heart will suffer later.""Uh, Zetta..." I couldn't take it anymore.We were still walking towards Zetta's house and now I was beside her, not daring to look back anymore."I want to ask... you don't have to look back but yes! You don't have to make a big scene, let alone scream! Watch out!" I threatened, I knew Zetta, I was afraid she would go overboard with all her craziness."Don't tell me it's a devil!? Is it white?!" she swore."No... ish... what the hell!""What the hell! I'm afraid it's..." she was indeed walking faster than before."I saw a guy who looked like Mr. Harold at the food vendors! That's cr
