AMONG HIM
Dee
Dee aka Belviyah Dawn Ragala smiled faintly to see the handyman of her front-door neighbor raise the remnants of the renovation to the top of the truck.
And finally! Also completed the renovation of the house in front. For the past 8 months, Dee had to tolerate the commotion made by the craftsmen. The sound of hammers, machines, and so on adorn the days of Dee when the weekend arrives.
Fortunately he worked from Monday to Friday at the Suhandoyo Public Accountant Office, currently 24-year-old Dee, working as a Junior Audit at KAP which was originally his internship place when taking accounting profession courses at one of the famous campuses in Jakarta.
Dee has long lived alone in the Kebayoran Residence housing, since the first year of his stratum 1 college papa brought mama to Bandung because papa was assigned there as branch leader in a private bank.
Dee has a younger brother named Kevin Putra Ragala, who is still in Junior High School. Very long distance with his age makes them not too familiar let alone have separated the house for the last 5 years.
After Dee put his car into the garage, he walked forward to rebuke Mr. Ismail the Chief Repairman, a middle-aged man he knew well as the other handyman.
"It's over, too, sir?" Dee asked with a meaningful smile, meaning well she finally regained that composure.
"Yes Ma'am Dee, but the inside is still empty yet there is nothing. The interior designer will be entering the items tomorrow and maybe the one who owns this house will move next week. Mr. Dee will certainly not be lonely anymore on this block" said Mr. Ismail chuckling.
"Hopefully sir.the fate of my block is at least its inhabitants and at the very end as well," Dee said, glancing at the 5-meter-high wall attached to the wall of his house. Dee's house at the end and the occupants of this block are only 4 houses, 2 houses in alignment with his house and the house in front of him takes 3 kapling for 1 house equipped with a swimming pool. The old house is empty and then the last 8 months are renovated by carrying out modern contemporary designs.
It is appropriate if the house was named as the best house in the housing that used to belong to the Rolly Family continues to be sold and left empty for 3 years. Dee once asked Mr. Ismail what kind of person who has a house in front of him with unmitigated restoration even very far from its initial form, but according to Mr. Ismail, he said, he did not know because they were employed by the architect directly and the owner never appeared during the renovation process.
...
Laughter filled the car wagon containing 4 men and 1 woman employees Suhandoyo, Badiono Public Accountant Office, which was none other than Mr. Zulfikar, Reza, Wahyu, Angga and Dee. They were on their way to Bandung to audit the largest textile company in the city. They are Team Mawar Suhandoyo, Batadio KAP - Ari Suhandoyo's flagship team at the head of their office. Team Mawar is the team most often assigned to audit a leading company.
This service trip will take 2 weeks, which makes Dee happy because you can meet papa, mama and Kevin in free time.
"Bandung again bro, later can find the clear girls," said Revelation behind the wheel, the famous 28-year-old man a playboy. His longest relationship lasted only 2 months.
"Yoye bro....." Sahut Reza, a 33-year-old father of one, is typical of men who are unfaithful to a partner. Not infrequently his wife made a video call just to make sure her husband was in the office or with the audit team.
"As usual, I remind you to stay focused, after the work is done you can have fun" said Mr. Zulfikar, the 39-year-old chairman of the rose team, who is married to 2 children.
Dee who was sitting in front only laughed lightly, while Angga was silent while cross-cutting. The 27-year-old is the nephew of their leader. He joined his uncle's audit office about 5 months ago. Angga studied in Australia and there the man worked as an auditor, who eventually decided to return to Indonesia. According to rumors, Angga in the field will replace his uncle who is thinking of retiring early.
...
"Where are you going?" Angga asked as soon as he saw Dee passing by the hotel lobby
"Eh Mas Angga's... I want to go home, relax again," replied Dee rather clumsy with the friendly attitude of an Angga. Today is Sunday, he can spend the day off meeting with his family, well after a week yesterday was chastened with a report check.
"Ohhh... Up what?" ask Angga again while approaching
"There's papa pick you up..."
"I'm moving forward, okay?" pinta man is flat-faced yet with a friendly tone.
Dee nodded and gave a thin smile to her co-worker who was famous for her reserved nature. The 180cm tall goose is not decrepit when they walk side by side.
"Mas Angga didn't come out? Walk like the others?" Tanya Dee looked at Angga who was standing next to her with both of her hands in the pocket of green-colored shorts.
"It was going to take you Dee, but since you're going to meet the old man I'm going to go to bed, anyway,"
Dee gawking foolishly did not believe the words of Angga just now.
"I'll be home at night, Mas. at 8" Dee replied slowly.
"Next week we are already busy once and Saturday afternoon has returned to Jakarta. Hmmmm... So there is no opportunity during this service trip," said Angga glanced at him with a sharp eye.
"Ehh..."
"promises... In Jakarta later you will accompany me to walk," said Angga again make Dee's heart rustle.
Dee stared at the black-colored bead eyes of the black-haired man next to her. Is he not misheard, this is as if a date invitation from Angga Karunasankara. A man who never talks about anything else outside of work.
Pip pip
The sound of horns blasting Dee's daydream, Angga still looked at him the same as before.
Pip pip's..
"Sister... Ayoohh !" Shouted a middle-aged man from inside a black CRV car - his papa Dwi Arya Ragala.
"I went first Mas Angga" said Dee walking forward.
"Dee...." Call Angga in a higher voice "So...?"
Dee turned around, 3 seconds later nodding "Yes... In Jakarta"
Hearing Dee's words, the sharp-eyed man smiled broadly, a very sweet smile and it was the first time Belviyah Dawn Ragala had seen them throughout the introduction until they were placed in the same team.
"Who is that brother?" Ask Dwi Arya her papa after the car runs
"Friends work on the team, Pa," Dee replied glancing at the rearview mirror, Angga still standing in his place earlier with his hands in his pants pocket.
"It looks like he likes Dawn" said Dwi Arya glanced at his eldest daughter who should have had a lover or husband, but as an anti-mainstream father, he never emphasized that as well as other parents, he never emphasized it, chasing his son to marry. For Dwi Arya, Dee is still his little girl, his future is still long, even he did not mind if Dee married at the age of 35 years. Dwi Arya did not want her son to suffer the fate of being married at the age of 22 years and to give birth to children the following year, what a long struggle for the Ragala family to be in the position now.
"Hmmm... I don't know," Dee muttered as she stared at the traffic that had started to jam, typical of Bandung on Sundays.
...
"It looks like we got here to Mas Angga" Dee said as soon as he saw his block of houses being crowded by cars parked left and right. "My house which is in the right corner of the wall," he continued pointing towards a minimalist model house painted in gray and black.
"I deliver until home well," Pinta Angga directly from the car "Pak Iwan his car rotated first," he continued talking to his family's private driver.
Dee is not very familiar with the background of Angga Karunasankara but he had heard from the rumor that the man's parents owned a coal mining company but chose to explore the world of counting and looking for errors, but, that is the job of an auditor. Inner like this Dee amused herself.
"Is it like this every day?" Ask Angga who helped Dee pull the yellow suitcase while watching the neatly parked luxury cars they passed.
"This is for the first time, Mas," replied Dee then stopped looking in front of his house that looks very crowded inside, the music sounded loud and the frenzied voice talking or laughing.
"They were partying.Your neighbor seemed to be a carefree upper class," muttered Angga staring in the same direction, from the outside they can see men dressed stylishly and women with dresses showing the sexiness of his body.
"New neighbors... " Said Dee quietly "Mas not in?... To my house means, not the front house," he continued with a knotty smile.
"Other times yah Dee... All we need now is a lot of rest, my head is dizzy two weeks of being hit by the audit. I'll see you Monday at the office" Angga replied, turning around and raising his right hand.
Dee looked back at the front house, the sound of laughter was getting quieter and the sound of music was increasingly stomping to wake the dead soul.
Ahh... At least he is not lonely and does not stare horror into the large uninhabited house anymore, comfort his inner self.
...
How quiet Dee on Monday morning when he found his neighbor's cars covering his car pot, after yesterday afternoon had looked lonely but last night the party was held no matter what time. Dee is the type of person who easily falls asleep, maybe the bomb exploded in front of his house he will not wake up.
While shaking his waist, he observed a BMW car with two doors and an Audi car that covered the access out of his car while that morning he had to go to the office. With a galloping dee stepped foot towards the door of his neighbor.
He tried to knock from slow mode, then impatient mode, to bang but no one opened the door. Dee finally gave up after seeing the watch in her hand showing at 7.15am, she then booked the vehicle through an app on her phone.
While waiting for an online motorcycle taxi, the fastest vehicle to take him to the office on time, Dee took the time to write down on the white paper and put on the second wiper of the luxury car.
"Dear Mr/Mother Block A123,
Your car blocked my access to my vehicle, until I went to the office using an online motorcycle taxi. May it be a lesson so as not to repeat itself"
Block A.4
...
Dee was able to go home quickly that day, at 6 pm less he was already at his doorstep and there were no more two luxury cars this morning. The streets of the block are deserted, with only two luxury cars parked in a neighboring car pot.
"Heiii....."
The startling sound that made Dee almost crash her face into the door frame of the house, she immediately turned to look for the origin of the heavy husky sound that was screaming. A tall thin man with disheveled yet sexy hair walked hastily towards him.
"Haiii. hello.... I'm your new neighbor, Liam," said the man who owns the finer body - skinny tall slim - slender eyes, grimy style, thin smile, a slightly sweet masculine fragrance - it looks like a new kind of expensive perfume.
"This is an introductory greeting" said Liam holding out a canticle with the famous bakery logo in the capital "And this sorry sign has blocked the exit of your car. I promise I won't repeat myself,"
Dee received the two white cantons in a daze, as though she was fascinated with her neighbor. Uh wait a minute! why does he seem so impressed.
"Hey..... Whose name? You're not mute, are you?" asked Liam again who now dared to pat Dee's arm even though slowly, the man bent his body and stared intensely at both irises
"I'm Dee.... No mute," Dee said quietly.
"Dee is not mute... We'll meet often. You live alone?? Because I knocked on your door this afternoon but no one answered,"
"Yes I live alone, family in Bandung," said honestly Dee who was downcast staring at his shoes and Liam's boot that iia make sure the price is as big as a year's salary.
"How much money is Dee? I'm 33,"
"Huh?" Remarkably Dee looked up his head, not even 10 minutes to meet this domineering tall man but Liam had dared to ask his age, what would later ask for weight? Although the body is proportional but is not it taboo to ask at the first meeting?
"27?" Guess Liam while observing Dee's face.
"Am I old-faced? 24 years... I'm only 24 years old," Dee ralat with jutek.
"Hahaha.no, I was just guessing. and it turned out to be very young, call me big brother then. Well already, happy cake well deck... Someday I bought it because of my friend's cars this morning," said Liam still with extraordinary friendliness.
"Well... No need brother, this is more than enough," said Dee staring Liam was standing straight in front of him
"It's okay, I live alone too. If I need a friend to eat, don't get mad if I knock on your door. Bye was pretty, too," said Liam, ruffling Dee's hair before finally turning around half-running back to his mansion. Dee Dawn loses strength in her legs, her body turning into jelly in office clothes.
