Akara Longs for the Waiting

35

Once inside the boarding room, Kai did not go straight to the toilet as planned. Though his body felt very sticky, he had not bathed since morning. The young man preferred to check his cell phone which had been stamped since the afternoon, before going to meet Meysa.

There were a lot of chat notifications there, but no one wanted Kai to reply to the message. He was more interested in a message than the familiar number.

+62__________: Where are you?

Kai smiled reading the message from the anonymous number, his profile picture was not there. Despite changing phones but Kai still memorizes this number, he knows who the owner is. Time has long passed, Kai thinks Meysa changed her phone number, apparently not.

Kai opens the hoodie that wraps around his body, leaving a black T-shirt that says 'I'm civil engineering' on the front, while on the back reads the name of the company where he works.

The man lay down his body into a soft mattress, a sense of comfort immediately welcomed. A smile was etched from those thin lips. Kai still did not expect, now his relationship with the Moon back as before. Still with the same taste in the same person.

Kai's finger moved to store Meysa's phone number by name using the Moon emoticon (.🌝)

Kai: Hi beautiful, how are you?😉

Instead of sleeping, Kai sent a message.

Long enough Kai waited for a reply to the chat while continuing to stare at his phone that was left on. He made his eyes almost closed. But the eyes were fresh again when they heard the sound of notifications.

Ting's.

A reply chat from the person who awaited to enter. Makes him excited again.

^^^🌝: Sleep! 🙄^^^

Kai smiled reading Meysa's sniffling reply.

Kai : Want to sleep together, bee🥺.

^^^🌝 : Yaudah gass.^^^

Kai: Play the gas you are.

If I could, I would want to marry you right now. Can't bear it if you have to be long, but unfortunately I haven't been that fast.😪

^^^🌝 : Yaudah gass aja😊^^^

Kai: Hhmmmnt, be patient! If marriage were that easy, I would want to be as soon as possible so we don't have to be far away again. I want to live with you.😪

^^^🌝 : Marriage is easy, the prestige is expensive. I don't care if marriage is simple.^^^

^^^If you're serious, I'll try to talk to my family, let them understand. So as not to burdensome if you have intentions immediately.^^^

Kai: It's not about the bee, I want to give you the best. But for now, it can't. Usually just be patient while trying and praying so that it can be as soon as possible.

Will you wait for me once more bee? Wait for me to get everything together, for us to get married.

^^^🌝: I would have waited, if it was that serious. You're not serious I've always waited for.^^^

Kai was silent reading the reply. He wants to justify Meysa immediately, but all aspects of marriage are not fully supportive. He was already working, but his savings were not enough to get married also for the cost of living afterwards. Much to be prepared.

Especially now that Kai still has to help his sister's school fees that will soon enter college, Kai does not want to overcharge his parents. All of that makes Kai dizzy. While it feels he is not able to if he has to LDR any longer.

Kai rubbed his rough face, there was nothing to do but keep trying and praying.

Kai: Sleep bee, it's midnight!

Long Kai waited but there was no reply, it seemed Meysa was asleep. He was also sleepy and wanted to go to sleep.

Kai: Did you sleep?

Have a good night, baby!

Sweet dream... Love you!"

Kai then went to the bathroom to clean his body and change clothes. I did not shower because it was midnight.

....

In the morning, Meysa and all residents of the house prepare to undergo activities as usual. Rena, Faza, Eka and her two children had already left a few minutes ago.

Kai who wants to come to the store is ready on the bike, waiting for Meysa who is wearing shoes on the terrace.

“Beches!"

Meysa walked towards Kai while hanging her black tote bag on the shoulder.

Kai gave me the helmet. Smiling happily looked at the girl in front of him. Casual appearance, wearing mocca color fabric pants with short-sleeved black shirt bearing the name of the florist shop combined with the interior of the cuff, looks very beautiful. The man in the white shirt was not tired of staring at Meysa.

This is the first time Kai has accompanied the Moon to work.

“Still!" Meysa smiled as Kai helped put the helmet hook on the chin.

After that, the two left excitedly. Today is the most special and beautiful day for the two lovebirds.

A few minutes later Kai's motorbike arrived at the store. Some of the employees who saw it looked astonished, Meysa came with another guy, not Erza. While Pida who is an admin there is no wonder to see that. As well as Ical, they knew the man was Meysa's friend.

“So I thought Erza, it wasn't," said a female employee who was cleaning glass.

“There is no way Erza, she works" said the other.

Meysa immediately invited Kai in.

“With that yesterday, Mey?" Pida gave a quick glance, the woman was seen busy reading a note that would be moved to the laptop.

Meysa smiled awkwardly, Kai who was standing next to her also greeted with a friendly smile.

“Name Kai, brother. From Pekanbaru. Hehe yesterday had not been able to know." Meysa introduces Kai without telling him who Kai really is.

“Hah, Pekanbaru?" Who heard Meysa's words in shock. Wonder Meysa the arrival of a very distant guest.

Meysa grinned while scratching her head, confused what to answer.

Actually Ical still wanted to ask, but the arrival of some customers made all rush back on their respective tasks.

Pida greeted me kindly. After talking for quite a while while describing his order. Some order bouquets and so on, while others are staff from one event organizer, want to use decoration services for a seminar to be held.

Pida immediately confirmed to the others to process the customer's order immediately. Likewise with employees of the decor section, they immediately prepare any materials and flowers that will be brought to the seminar location.

Meysa was busy helping prepare. While Kai, he was asked to wait.

“Sit there first yes, I'm there sebntar!"

Kai nodded, his gaze following where Meysa was stepping. He kept watching the girl,

“Prohibition on behalf of PT Citra Land Mineral, condolences to Andy Asril Sudarso. Arrange any flowers, origin background and writing canalem! Sending at 2 o'clock, try it as soon as possible!" Pida said give direction according to customer's request.

“If this one is a congratulation for the grand opening of Giant Meatball Mas Tris."

“That's what viral is." A curly-haired woman who was pigtailed by a horse chimed in. “Sounds good!"

“How do you know say good, just open too,”

“Kan is its branch in Palu west.” The two women began to talk about viral meatballs. Looks like they'll try too.

Pida who finished reading and gave a sample piece of text to be used also returned to his desk. Died employees who began to be busy while telling a lot of things.

“Mey, there are some special orders!" Pida glanced at Meysa who had just entered, the girl had just helped raise the printout to the car. Will be brought to decorate.

Even Kai, who doesn't want to stay silent, is also in search of busyness, he helps Meysa do whatever she can.

Meysa stepped onto Pida's table, her hand reaching for the note given. One by one they read it. There are many orders to be completed before the night. Tomorrow morning there are 5. Meysa's hand that was used to receiving lightning orders seemed ordinary. He's been trained, so he doesn't show any complaints.

“The details are all clear, right?" tanya Pida made sure. Meysa nodded.

The girl then grabbed the basket, preparing to look for flowers to be combined in the bouquet. As per customer's request.

“Sang spirit!"

Kai who did not want to go far from Meysa immediately followed where the Moon was stepping. Makes Meysa look smiling.

“Maacih ayang." Reply with a spoiled tone.

Meysa started picking flowers. While Kai, his eyes circled the various flowers lined up, starting from the original and synthesis. There is a bouquet that has been assembled containing flowers and snacks, and there is also only containing flowers, and so on. All available.

“The design of the shop is unique!" praise Kai. While waiting for Meysa, from earlier the man stood while observing the design of the store building.

On the right front, right next to the glass wall, there is a small shelf containing native flowers whose color gradations are composed of leaves, ranging from green to yellow aisles, and the, the wicker basket is at the very top. While not far from there, there is a large enough area, there are sofas and displays with unique images, on the wall there is a golden ‘ELF Florist' block writing. The name of the shop is the initials of the names Eka and Faza. This part looks very Instagramable. Made as a place to discuss orders with customers.

While on the front left side there is a white cashier table. The middle of the store there is a fairly wide hallway, while the right left of the neatly arranged flowers make the room very cool. While upstairs there is only a room that is half the size of the store, making Kai stunned. Of course he can judge all because he was once an interior designer. Even sometimes he still opens design services if the work is not too solid.

Meysa looked at Kai. The star is still observing the building with a dominant white color, combined with a hint of light purple.

“The concept is good!"

Kai's words made Meysa take a glance across the flower-filled shop, it was like a garden. There are all kinds of colors there. It turned out to be that good, Meysa only realized now. It was only fitting that he was always at home in the store.

“Yes yes, good too!" Meysa is still looking up. Now his eyes looked at the part he thought was the most beautiful. That is in the middle of the hall that is quite wide there is a small iron display shaped tunnel white, with vines on it. It's like a gate.

“Ih bee, you just realized that this store is a good design?" asked Kai wrinkled in wonder.

“Hehe yes!" Meysa grinned the horse, revealing her rabbit-like teeth on the front.

“Kayak people far away, time so far not careful!" kai protest, wonder at Meysa. Looks like the girl had been blindfolded all this time, so she couldn't judge.

“This who design?" ask Kai again. Makes Meysa seem to think, trying to remember.

“Emmmin, don't know, I forgot!"

“Why don't you tell me to go first?" seloroh Kai while holding a smile. He slid his hand into his pants pocket.

“Allow what?" meysa was confused.

“All the designs!" Kai looked at Meysa's astonished face.

“Emang can?"

“Bisalah bee, I've been an interior designer!" Kai rubbed Meysa's face, making the girl have to tidy up her hijab again.

“Oh, yes! I forgot." Meysa chuckled, it could be that her despotic brain did not remember the profession that Kai had wrestled with since he was in college. Even when Kai is making designs for interior projects, the two often make video calls.

“Ishh, even forgot!"

“So all this time you have been eating me yes, proven now who is evil." Kai protested.

“That's it, Star!" whining Meysa doesn't want Kai to misunderstand.

“I don't forget, just don't remember!" said Meysa who immediately moved, looking for flowers to be used.

“Together with that!" kai protest. He followed Meysa's steps.

“Sorry, sorry, if I'm not forgiven, I love you!"

Meysa's remark made Kai who was intending to feign anger, instantly show a cute pretentious expression. He prefers to forgive so that Meysa loves him.

Hmmnt, the two look so drunk in love, like the world belongs to both. The others just cost.

“Kesana yuk!" After all the required flowers are complete. Meysa took Kai back, sitting on a plastic carpet, right next to the stairs. The flower shelf that was on display seemed to be a partition, making the area closed from the front. Like being in a room. Not far from there is a room again, in it there is a small room and a toilet next to it.
