Relapse Again

Jordan arrived in Jakarta. Once he got to the airport, he took a deep breath. His face looked unpredictable. Is he angry, sad, or happy?

He saw several people who came to pick up some passengers who had just come from the plane. He didn't see someone pick him up. There should have been a representative from Van Boss Jakarta who picked him up or greeted him at the airport.

Jo dragged his suitcase and walked out of the overseas arrival gate. And then he saw a man who had just arrived unfolding cardboard with the words 'Van Boss Jakarta'. The man will pick him up.

With a face that could no longer hide his anger, Jordan then walked over to the man. His face was dirty and suddenly came in front of the man, making the man surprised because a tall man came with an arrogant face.

"Why are you late? It's already ten minutes after the appointed time? ” Jordan said in a loud voice making everyone there turn to him.

"Excuse me, sir, are you Mr. Jordan?" asked the man afraid that Jordan would scold him because he came late to pick up.

"Yes, did the Van Boss New York staff not provide my profile photo?" Jordan asked curtly.

“Sorry, Mr. Jo, the person who was supposed to pick up you had an accident. Now he's in the hospital. Suddenly I have to pick up you, ”the man replied nervously.

"What, why did he get into an accident. Are you guys careless at work? If you work, and you all don't be careful. How much money will the company have to pay for your treatment, huh? ” shouted Jordan.

The man is uncomfortable because Jordan publicly scolded him. And that is very embarrassing. But not for the grumpy Jordan. He won't stop rambling on unless all his grievances have been conveyed.

The man was just scratching his head. Maybe what was in his mind was why on the first day the boss came, he had received lectures and scolding. Even though the boss doesn't know his name. Did he even know that he was only an intern, not a permanent employee?

"Sorry sir, we better go from here first!" said the man trying to stop Jordan from continuing his babbling inside the airport. Everyone who walked around them looked strangely because Jordan was so impulsive.

"What is your name?" asked Jordan, glaring.

"Alex sir."

“Alex, this time I forgive you. Next time you make a mistake. You will get into trouble with me! ”Jordan threatened.

Alex just nodded in fear and immediately pulled Jordan's suitcase and helped to carry it to the car.

Jordan then saw his red hands come back. Why if he gets angry his hands will turn red and his strange disease will start to recur.

"Alex!" call Jordan.

"Yes, sir," said Alex as politely as possible. He is afraid of making mistakes. Even though the delay in him picking up was not entirely the fault. But, he got the impact from his senior, who crashed into a road divider when he wanted to pick up Jordan.

Jo seemed hesitant to say it. But he was already starting to feel something was creeping out of his body. And Jo knows that this means that his strange disease has returned.

"Never mind. Forget it," said Jordan, failing to say it. He then followed Alex's steps towards the car that was waiting for him.

Alex then put the suitcase into the trunk. Meanwhile, Jo went straight in and sat in the back seat. Once inside, Jordan rolled his shirt up to his elbows. And after that, he scratched his hand. The sensation was creeping back to him again.

Jordan panics. Why at a time like this, and also he just came to Jakarta. The strange disease came instead.

Alex, who had already put the suitcase in the trunk, immediately got into the car and started the engine. He had time to notice Jordan who was scratching his hand and neck.

"Boss, are you okay?" asked Alex who was surprised to see Jordan scratching his body without stopping.

Jordan couldn't answer because he was so overwhelmed by the symptoms he was currently facing.

"Are you having allergies?" asked Alex. She saw Jordan's hands and neck flush red.

"Yes."

"How come. Should we just go to the hospital? " asked Alex.

"No, just take me to the apartment!" Jordan replied in a choked voice because of the pain and itching.

Jordan then took his cellphone and tried to contact Frans. But once realized that there was a time difference. It was the night in New York right now. Frans must have been fast asleep.

"Looks like you have to go to the hospital. Your skin is turning red and it looks like you are in pain! " said Alex feeling anxious.

"No, just take me to the apartment quickly!" shouted Jordan, frustrated.

Alex obeyed and immediately without asking any more questions, he then led Jordan to an apartment that Jordan had prepared while he was in Jakarta.

Jordan couldn't stop scratching his body. If this is allowed to continue, he could be tormented all day or more by the situation.

Arrived in front of his apartment building. Jordan must ask Alex for help. If not, he will be tormented by the disease.

"Alex, can I ask you a favor?" asked Jordan.

Alex was surprised that Jo's tone was very different from before. This time his tone sounded very desperate.

"What is, Boss?" asked Alex.

"Can you find me a woman today!" said Jordan.

"What. Woman. What kind of woman do you mean? " asked Alex in surprise.

"Yes, a woman who can be invited to sleep," said Jordan.

Of course, it took Alex by surprise. He didn't think that the boss was a man who used to look for women like that. And what amazed Alex, even more, was that his boss had only arrived in Jakarta for a day. But he already wanted a woman to sleep with him. Alex just found out that his boss is a jerk who likes sleeping with women.

"Can you?" asked Jordan increasingly frustrated because Alex did not answer immediately.

"I will try, Boss. But I cannot guarantee that it will be fast, ”replied Alex.

Jordan then told Alex to take him to his apartment room and carry his suitcase.

With uncertain feelings, Alex then helped Jordan down. He couldn't help thinking that on the first day his boss had given him an unexpected task.

While carrying his suitcase, Alex keeps looking at Jordan who is seen scratching his hands and neck without stopping.

'Why doesn't he want to be taken to the hospital. Ask a woman instead, 'thought Alex to himself.

Once on the 10th floor of his apartment. Alex gave Jordan the key to his room. And Jordan immediately opened the door to his room in a hurry. The itching and burning can no longer be contained.

“Alex, hurry up. Otherwise, I will be like this for days! ” exclaimed Jordan.

"What do you mean?" asked Alex, not understanding.

Jordan then gave some 50 US dollar bills and gave them to Alex.

"Find and keep a secret!"

Alex was confused but he doesn't refuse when Jordan hands over the money. Before he entered, Jordan gave his cell phone.

"Enter your number!" said Jordan.

Alex then immediately typed in the number and gave it to Jordan.
