A World Without Seams

Rachel said back when Erik no longer responded. He felt strange about Erik's behavior. But Rachel didn't want to think strangely about the man. He brought Andre home.

"You're mists?" ask Andre.

"Seneng, thank you. I didn't think you were still missing" said Rachel.

"Still dong, tomorrow I'll pick you up for work?" ask Andre.

"Sorry, I think I'm with Cecil. I promise you," Rachel explained.

"Okay," After that there was no more conversation between them until they arrived in front of Rachel's house.

"Thank you again, I'm in,"

"Okay, good rest. I'll go home first" Andre waved.

"Be careful!"

Andre honks his car before it passes. Rachel glanced at the garden in front of her. Silent. Then he went into the house. Everyone was asleep as if, Rachel rushed to the room to clean herself up and went to sleep.

"Morning..."

"Good morning...!"

The morning greeting of his office friend made Rachel's spirit rise. He walked quickly to his desk and turned on his computer. While waiting he tidied his hair and wore a black bando decorated with ribbons. Friends but let it be, the mood is good.

"Beautiful morning...!" greet Boy

"Haiiii..morning too!" rachel replied with a smile.

"Good mood, this breakfast gift for the beautiful," he handed me a small box of food.

"Oh wow. What's the show? tumben there's a free breakfast, "tease Rachel.

"Ra-ha-sia.. enjoy yeay..." Boy saunters leaving Rachel.

"Thanks... " Rachel opened the tiny box, containing 4 mini donuts with brown topping. Looks funny. Rachel grabs her phone and takes a picture to put up in her story.

Rachel looked at the wallpaper of her phone that featured Jim's face while smiling as a result of the picture yesterday. Rachel smilingly looked at her phone and muttered softly.

"I miss" he whispered in the smiling photo. Then he saved his phone and started working on his pending job yesterday.

Tonight Rachel and Cecil have dinner together while watching their favorite Korean drama.

"Where were you last night?" ask Cecil.

"Jalan with Andre, why?"

"No, just the name,"

"Bram's been told?" rachel asked immediately to make her mood decline again.

"No, I'm just being sensi? I'm out at tenth, like you're not home yet,"

"Hu'um. Watch street dance,"

"Andre's Bareng?"

"Yes,"

"Surely he likes it too,"

"Not really, he just took me in,"

"Ooh... "

"Don't tell Bram about this" Rachel asked.

"Secret awake, amaaaan... "

"What's safe?" ask Bram.

"eeh? when's nyampenya?" said Cecil.

"Recently," Bram immediately sat down beside Cecil.

"Ooh...have you eaten?" ask Cecil.

"Not yet, what are you cooking?"

"You, let me eat... " Bram pulled Cecil's hand.

"But. akuuu... " Cecil looked at Rachel feeling bad. Rachel just kept quiet and pretended to be interested in the drama of her chorea. After the two lovebirds had passed he sneered.

"Ciii! Sok advised, she knows she's no better, too" said Rachel quietly.

Rachel went and washed the dishes and glanced at Cecil and Bram who were engrossed in telling stories. Since Rachel was close to Andre, Bram seemed angry and indifferent. Rachel was happy, Bram no longer meddled in her affairs.

Rachel moved from the kitchen to her study. He stared out the window, several times lightning struck. It's going to rain, somehow making him moody. He glanced across the park. Slender. Of course, there would be no way Jim would practice dancing in the weather that would soon rain.

Many things he wanted to ask the man other than that he also kept longing. Rachel smiled faintly considering how much she missed Jim's newfound figure. Jim that he doesn't know his real name, his origin even all about Jim he doesn't know. He knew he liked dance. Maybe tomorrow he'll ask the guy.

Soon the rain fell on his face. Rachel hurried in and closed the door and window. Then immediately go downstairs to rest in his room. Unfortunately at the end of the stairs he saw a sight that made him sick. Bram is kissing Cecil.

"Hum...!" Rachel cleared her throat indicating that she was there. Bram and Cecil break away and look misbehaved as if they've just been caught stealing. Rachel passed them like they weren't there. Rachel went into the room and laid her body on the bed.

This morning Rachel was lazy to meet two people close to her. Rachel got up early and left for the office. Arriving at the office he did not go directly to his room but to the cafeteria.

The smell of warm latte smelled on his nose. He ordered a glass of latte and bread and enjoyed his breakfast while looking at his phone. He looked at the wallpaper of his phone with a smile. He asked Jim for his mobile number!

Rachel sipped her drink slowly and was disturbed by Andre sitting in front of her.

"Hi! Been long?" he asked while waving.

"Where are you...?"

"Yes, you know, just by coincidence through and see there is a beautiful angel daydreaming, I'm just samperin. Afraid of genie's nudity,"

"You genie!"

"Husses!" Andre hissed while glaring at Rachel. Rachel simply smiled as she cupped her hands together on her chest.

"Hul... You're looking for Andini's mom" said Cecil, who was standing not far from his desk. Rachel simply nodded without saying a word. Rachel leaves after Cecil is no longer seen.

"You guys got into a fight?" ask Andre.

"Not really,"

"Then? cold war?"

"There's nothing. I just don't want to be bothered by anyone,"

"Include me?" andrew pointed to himself.

"Yup!" rachel answered quickly.

"But I'm your boss!" his protest.

"But this is my personal matter, excuse me!" Rachel opened the door of Andini's room without knocking first making Andini shocked and scrunched her nose a sign of dislike. Then a second later the face was back flat especially when looking at a glimpse of Andre's shadow.

"Sorry mom, I didn't knock on the door. That's... "

"It's okay, sit down!" his orders. Rachel sat in front of Andini as she opened the file.

"You have this that our client likes, you will contact him and all employment contracts. After that, you can go to the head office between these files, can you?" ask Andini.

"Mom, I'll go to the head office after the contract,"

"Prepare, don't be late,"

"Good ma'am, excuse me,"

Rachel heaved a sigh of relief then she walked towards her room but she bumped into someone.

"Mr Andre!" Rachel growling. Andre just smiled at him.

"There's a job for Andini? Headquarters are a long way away, I'll take you,"

"Thank you sir! But I have other business,"

"I can drive you,"

"Please? I want to be alone," Rachel begged.

"okay! Sorry, but if you need anything, don't hesitate to call me. Think of me and you as old school days" he said.

"I will remember, thank you," Rachel smiled at a glance and left Andre looking at her with a smile. Rachel felt uneasy then quickly left.
