A World Without Seams

26

"Here not yet," Jim carried Rachel's hand and the girl fell silent. Swallowed his saliva and nervously glanced over there. Jim smiled sweetly. Makes Rachel wrong.

Jim carried Rachel's hand around his neck. Rachel was getting nervous and uncomfortable. Once the neck was dry, Jim let go of his hand and Rachel quickly pulled her. The coldness of Jim's hand disappeared. Yeah, every time I come into contact with Jim, Rachel's always feeling cold. Even though the weather was very hot, even Jim also sweated a lot.

Rachel looked forward, adjusting her breathing and irregular heart. Jim lay back looking up at the sky.

"I want to one day dance on a big stage with thousands of spectators. Although I'm not the main star but dancing makes me forget all the problems" said Jim.

"Have you ever danced on stage?" ask Rachel.

"Once, a few times. But after that until now I never again. I thought because there was something wrong with my dance but it turned out... "

"Why?" rachel asked as Jim stopped continuing.

"It's okay, it's just that I'm disappointed in myself,"

"Don't give up and blame yourself. Everyone must have made a mistake. Do not let the problem make us weak, make lessons so that we can rise up. Defeat despair to victory" said Rachel.

"You're right, but for my case it's hard,"

"What's difficult? can I help you?" ask Rachel

"No need, when the time comes I will ask you to help me myself" replied Jim.

"Is that?" rachel asked, Jim nodded his head and drank back the water in the bottle.

"I want to see you on stage, your dance is beautiful. Especially if on stage with the right costume and background. Do you dance in pairs or groups?" ask Rachel.

"Usually groups but not infrequently also have to pair up,"

"Make sure your partner dances as beautifully as you dance, harmoniously," says Rachel. Suddenly Jim's smile disappeared and his face looked sad.

"Sorry, if I'm wrong and make you sad," Rachel said softly.

"No! Forget the stage. But I promise, one day if I dance you're the audience" Jim said.

"Promise yes" said Rachel.

"Promise," Jim chimed in and put their pinkies together. As their little fingers touched, Jim's eyes widened in disbelief. He looked with their fingers together as if in disbelief. Rachel looked at him confused.

Rachel soon took off their fingers. Jim looked at her and his breathing returned quickly and irregularly.

"What's wrong? Did I hurt you?" ask Rachel.

"Uhm. I gotta go. You go back home,"

"But... "

"Hurry up,"

"Jim's? Jim's! L'm... "

Not finished Rachel spoke, Jim grabbed a small towel and bottle and ran away from Rachel. And disappear in the darkness of the night.

"Rachel!" Bram called behind him. Rachel turned around and saw Bram standing at the garden gate. He walked closer and looked around.

"Who's looking?" ask Rachel.

"Who are you with?" tanya Bram held both of her shoulders.

"Not with anyone" Rachel lied.

"Don't lie!" he clutched Rachel's shoulder.

"sick! Off! What the hell are you? anyways what's your business if I'm alone or with someone!" snapped Rachel.

"I'm not a baby" replied Rachel.

"If you're doing anything..."

"Pray so that I don't do anything, I can take care of myself. And take care of your two women. Don't add to the mind of three women!" Rachel said. He walked to the house and into the room.

Rachel exhaled. He was annoyed with Bram being too involved. He never meddled in Bram's business. The mother who asked him to take care of Rachel, Bram so feel an overprotective sister.

Rachel glanced at the clock on the table, it was already 23:45. Almost midnight, Bram deserved to scold him he was out the night. But how did Bram know he was there? He will ask tomorrow.

The next morning, Bram drove the mother to her house. Meanwhile, Rachel and Cecil go to the office using an online taxi.

"Be careful on the bun road, tell Rachel when you arrive. Sorry Rachel couldn't get between the ladies,"

"Yes, it's okay. Mother even wants to go home alone but Bram does not give thanks,"

"No matter what, boys are the job" Rachel smiled.

"It was caught the guy was angry, you know," said the mother pinched Rachel's nose and hugged her daughter. Cecil also greeted the mother and after Bram finished putting the goods into the trunk of the car they separated. And soon their online taxi order arrived.

Today Rachel's mood was so good that she could finish her work before lunch and still be able to joke with her team.

"Hel, join yuk at lunch together," Boy asked

"Where can you go?"

"Kesha ntar who determined the place, eeeh by the way was a radiant face, what is it?" ask Boy. Rachel took a small glass and held her cheek.

"Then anyway? Don't I always scream?" Rachel said.

"Yes deeeh, it's hard if people fall in love again. Who the hell is he? There's a new scene that doesn't say anything" Boy said.

"Yeeee, no, just kepo. Yuk get ready. So go on?" Rachel said.

They rushed to get ready and drove off in Kesha's car. Tumben aja he ngajak eat, usually he prefers to do anything himself. Maybe he is still awkward because he just joined their team.

After arriving at the destination they immediately went down and ordered food with a frenzy. Then start eating lunch while chatting fun about branded goods that are discounted, clothes that are in trend, also plans to the salon and spa. As if there is no burden when their wallet is getting thin because it is at the end of the month.

"You guys here?" ask someone when they are talking. All eyes looked at Andre who had just finished eating.

"Sir Andre, let's eat sir,"

"Thank you, can I join you?" his tanyanya made them nod awkwardly. Andre chose to sit next to Rachel who happened to be empty.

"Order to eat sir?" ask Rachel.

"No, I ate. Look at you," she replied quietly but Rachel was sure they all heard what Andre said because they all turned and looked at Rachel questioningly. Rachel was sure the gossip material was already mapped in their minds.

"You can, take my face for food" protested Rachel. Andre just smiled looking at Rachel.

"Let's continue to eat, go back to his office" Andre said. Simultaneously everyone immediately continued his delayed meal as he was busy compiling gossip materials.

Rachel continued to eat and tried not to care about the person beside her who was looking at her with a smile. After they finished, they immediately headed for the parking lot followed by Andre who walked side by side with Rachel.

"Well, what's wrong? It's not good to have them" said Rachel.

"Why not delicious? they also understand, it's been big,"

"Comebelly," Rachel rushed over to walk which was still followed by Andre. Making whispers among his friends more obvious.
