[TAMAT] 3 Time 1 Flavor

Special Banquet

Maya will be working on a project from the manager of a private library today, the day when others will have a picnic. He was still relaxing when Herryl came with avocado juice.

"Again relaxed?" ask Herryl. Maya nodded.

"In a moment the design of the publisher's library Lingkar Pena." Maya answered something that made Herryl turn his head.

"That's, right, a big publisher. Thousands of books." Herryl commented which made Maya nod.

"Ryl, pick up May tomorrow, yeah," Maya asked after she finished sipping avocado juice.

"Tumbens. What time?"

"Tomorrow May met Adrian and Madam Van Coen for a detailed description of the final design" Maya replied.

Herryl understood the meaning of the girl. He smiles.

"Yes. Just tell me" said Herryl, patting Maya on the head. "May it be good tomorrow" continued the man. Maya nodded.

...***...

"Adrian," call Mrs Van Coen. The youngest son he loved was reading a book on criminology.

"Yes, Ma" replied Adrian.

"You didn't call Maya?" ask the middle-aged woman.

Adrian closed the book. His gaze turned to his mother. The man breathed.

"For what?"

"Saying your feelings. You know you're harboring feelings for each other, right?"

Adrian shaking.

"She's engaged, Ma," Adrian's elak surprised her mother. "I saw the ring on his left ring finger."

"But Mama saw the other day she ...," said Mrs Van Coen hanging.

"Already, Ma. I'm not gonna interrupt Maya's relationship."

Mrs Van Coen hugged her son. Adrian.

I have to let you go. I should have known when I left. I was too naive to expect your feelings to still be the same for me.

...***...

"May's already engaged?" adrian asked on the phone. The man wondered who could conquer a Maya. The stubborn girl who had already conquered his heart.

"Yes. Why, Yan?" hardi asked after answering Adrian's question.

"Who?"

"Herry."

Adrian sighing. Also be persistent that guy.

"Maybe the new Maya likes it, right? I know Herryl went to Oxford."

"They've been in a relationship since Herryl came to Oxford."

Adrian's eyes widened. They can live it for years?

"I met Maya" said Adrian lirih.

"Take him off, Yan." Hardi told me before they cut the phone.

If I had offered that long distance relationship first, you would have accepted me, May.

...***...

"Maya, we're going to Medio's resto. Mrs Van Coen would like us to discuss that design there this afternoon," Grace ordered. Maya nodded. Print the designs they both made. The file contains detailed designs also Maya prepared.

Grace's car then slides into Medio's resto. Maya feels she will not return to the office so she brings along her laptop and backpack.

"This time you explained the design. You ready?"

"Okay, sir," Maya replied.

After ten minutes, Rahmat's car was parked in the courtyard of their destination resto. The girl with the light blue blouse and navy toad pants was following Grace into the resto.

"On behalf of Mrs Van Coen," Rahmat told the officers who greeted her at the door of the restaurant.

"Let's point it at your desk" the officer replied. Grace and Maya follow the officer.

Adrian is not here yet.

"Sir, I'm allowed to use a cell phone for a while" Maya's pinta answered a nod of Grace.

Maya typed a message on her phone.

"May at the Medio resto, Tendean."

"This afternoon is usually jammed," Rahmat comments in response to their client's delay. Maya saves her phone and turns to Grace.

"Yes." Yeah."

After waiting a dozen minutes, their client came. Adrian looks more handsome with a light blue shirt and a gray vest. Maya tries to calm her heartbeat.

"Sorry we're late. Maya, you're so pretty today," complimented Mrs Van Coen on seeing Maya's performance.

"Thank you, madam" said Maya.

"Yes, right, Adrian?" continued Mrs Van Coen asked Adrian who had not blinked looking at the girl in front of him.

"Yes. Beautiful," Adrian replied with a smile. Maya's face is now reddened because Adrian praises her.

"alright. We ordered food and just talked about design. How's it?" mrs Van Coen's. The woman called the waiter to order food. "Maya, what are you eating, honey?" ask Mrs Van Coen.

"Sandwiches and avocado juice" Adrian replied, to Maya's surprise. "Your favorite, right, May?"

"D-yes." Maya answered nervously. Adrian still remembers his favorite food and drinks.

Without Adrian noticing, there was a dislike gaze from the man beside Maya, Grace.

"alright. Please order us immediately, yes," asked Mrs Van Coen after the four of them mentioned their respective orders.

The silent atmosphere was torn apart by Maya's phone ringing. After saying goodbye, Maya went to the edge to pick up the phone.

"May, I'm late. Probably in 3 hours. Do you want to wait for me or go home first?" ask Herryl on the phone.

"Let's wait, Ryl," Maya replied.

"Okay. Good luck, yes," said Herryl before they extended a greeting and disconnected the phone. Maya smiles after the phone is over. Thank ye.

Maya returns to her desk and eats a sandwich after being welcomed by Mrs Van Coen.

"A habit," Adrian said while wiping his knife to Maya's cheek. He saw breadcrumbs and mayonnaise on the girl's cheek. It's still like old times.

Maya puts her face back.

"Eh?"

"Oh, sorry," Adrian said. The man pulled back his fist.

Maya takes a tissue in front of her and then rubs the cheek affected by the bread crumbs and mayonnaise. Just barely.

They finished eating and discussed the designs offered by Maya. Adrian did not stop looking at the girl in front of him who was seriously explaining his plans. Well-favoured.

"It's great to have the concept go green. So, the boarding is not stuffy later, yes. Thank you, Maya. I love it" said Mrs Van Coen.

"Thank you, Madam. We are also happy to please Madam" Maya replied.

"You like it too, don't you, Adrian?" ask mama. Adrian never looked at the girl in front of him.

"Yes. Love it."

Maya clumsy stared intensely by Adrian.

"Sir Mercy, could you please take me for a moment? Let Adrian reunite with Maya first," Mrs Van Coen asked.

Although heavy, Rahmat assented the request of his client. They leave Maya and Adrian quiet for a few minutes.

"So, when to get married?" ask Adrian. Maya was silent for a long time before finally answering.

"We haven't set a date because we still have to reach our goals."

Adrian laughed and heard it.

"That's you," he commented. His laughter changed with a smile as he asked something.

"So, there's still a chance for me, right?"

...-connect-...

Adrian's? Is that you?

Hi hi hi, thanks for following the story of Maya and Herryl.
