AMONG HIM

AMONG HIM
A Plate of Both



Monday morning, Dee was amazed to see the reaction of people in the office, all seen whispering to each other and looking at him. He chose to ignore and keep stepping foot into his work room.


Dee's office room measuring 7x5 square meters in white paint with minimalist design windows, there are 6 wooden tables for 5 members of Team Roses, there is a wooden table of 6 pieces for 5 members, one no man's desk is a master data storage room. The tables that turn back to each other make a path in the middle. A long, empty table in front of the second row is used for discussion.



Each table is equipped with the latest Apple-made computer devices, which were actually just replaced by their leaders earlier this year.


Dee was just sitting at his desk the very back row when Revelation came and immediately crouched down beside him.


"Hei Dee, you know that Belviyah Dawn finally got into the office gossip?" Revelations half-whispered, Dee caught the amused smile of his office mate.


"I digosipin what? I was thinking like it fit in the lobby." Dee muttered.


"Wait." The word Revelation opens the screen of his American-made mobile phone.


"See." He continued to show photos from his cell phone. Dee, Liam and Ricchi were pictured last night.


"Oh that." Sahut Dee relax.


"So you're dating Ricchi? Oh Em Gi, Dee! We don't know if it turns out you have a relationship with Ricchi's class actor. When are you guys going out?"


"Oh no! We're not dating!" Sergeh Dee direct.


"you reckon? Ricchi himself uploaded your photo, and saw how his hands were holding you friendly" said Wahyu exclaiming, the sapodilla-skinned man transformed into a gossip reporter.


"We're just friends and there's someone else."


"Liam Farubun."


"You knew?


"Everyone knows him, Dee. Or are you dating Liam?"


Dee immediately raised both of her hands and crossed them.


"Oath! We're just friends!" dee defended himself.


"You never told me, if it turns out your association with celebrities, Dee" murmured a jealous Revelation.


Dee was able to capture the thoughts of his office friends who wanted to get acquainted with artists to date. Actually Revelation can get the girlfriend of an artist, with a beautiful face equipped with a posture as high as 181 cm, it's just the scope of the man's association around the world of work, most have no time to develop a friendship area.


"Good morning" said Angga as soon as he entered the room making Revelation stand up.


"Morning!" Reply Dee and Revelation compact.


"I go to my table, and then we go on again" Revelation said to the second table behind Dee.


"Have breakfast, Dee?" Ask Angga while keeping his branded bag on the table.


"No, Mas. It's going to the pantry to make coffee. I brought a sandwich from home just haven't had time to eat it because of the rush. Mas Angga want to? I made two."


Angga nodded back with that sweet smile


"I'll make coffee first, will you go out with me?" Tanya Dee offered as she stood up from her chair.


"Let's go together to the pantry" said Angga immediately standing while glancing at the watch in his hand there is still 10 minutes before the effective working hours began.


The two walking side by side out of the room made Revelation frown, it seemed like the gossip was wrong. Dee's near Angga, not those celebrities. His gosiper instincts bubbled up, he had to go to the accounting team's office, where the women are, the source of this gossip developed in the beginning of whatsapp group - where only Revelation is the only member of the group with different gender.


...


Dee had just loaded her car into the garage and her tall neighbor had been standing in front of her luxury home in front of her. Crazy, why the guy always succeeds in enchanting Dee. As hard as it is to convince himself to walk the normal path but temptation always comes the same as it is today.


"Hi brother, relax, okay?" Sapa Dee made foul pleasantries seeing Liam approach in a red t-shirt with black shorts two snails from the knees showing off long legs adorned with sexy fur.


"As you see Dee. How's the work at the office?"


"As usual... But next week we're going to Kalimantan for 2 weeks, audit the coal mining company sak."


Liam let out a long sigh while staring at Dee inside.


"I'll be lonely. How can you leave me that long as it's Dee?" Liam said possessively, dramatically while holding Dee's hand. He then pulled the little girl into his house, Dee obediently following the man's steps


"Work name, brother. Sister cook?" Dee asked once inside Liam's house and the aroma of spiced cooking lurked in his sense of smell


"I'm cooking this village chicken curry for you, Dee. At 2pm I went out to Hyper shopping"


"I am if again stressed by the work of his escape to cooking. This is why the kitchen is so sophisticated because I love to cook" Liam said, picking up dishes and filling them with rice.


"Say if it's less," said Liam, putting a plate in front of Dee, who was sitting at the kitchen bar, and soon a bowl of chicken curry joined him by his rice plate.


Liam then took a spot next to Dee, and took a pose of a stooped hand, always cool inner Dee.


"Sister didn't eat?" Tanya Dee who felt her tummy churn asked to be filled as soon as she saw the tempting red curry.


"I like to cook but not eat it." Sahut Liam slowly while waiting for Dee's response with his cooking.


"Thank you for the food" said Dee, bowing for a moment in prayer.


Liam smiled


"Don't kid!" Exclaimed Dee turned to look at Liam both her eyes were rounded with a sweet smile adorning her face.


"aha. Thank goodness you like the deck.."


Dee then took a spoonful of rice and curry brought it to Liam's mouth which was directly struck by the man.


"Sister also has to eat, cooking time itself does not like, how the hell? So if the cooking is not possible not to try for example it tastes less what, or it is ripe or not. I also love cooking, but rarely. Which is easy because it is tired in the office, the choice is to buy so or stop eating at the stall. I wanted to take a shower first, keep out eating at the stall in front of the housing eh tunya Kak Liam masakin. It's good that brother came home from work already there is food, sister's wife will be grateful to be able to husband like Kak Liam" said Dee at length while feeding Liam for the third time.


Dee gasped in shock after realizing his last sentence.


"Sister, sorry" Dee said regretfully then lowered his head for a moment


"It's okay... But I've never cooked Ricchi, though," he said softly.


Dee pulled her lips inside, a thousand regrets invaded her heart.


"I added rice first" Dee said, moving to the rice cooker, shifting their awkwardness.


Liam looked at the little girl's back in confusion, he felt something strange in his heart. Ever since he first saw Dee, he had been attracted by the look in the little girl's eyes. Plain, pure, not contrived, has not been littered with world theatrics that become his daily meal. For the first time Liam liked to hear people talking a lot and it was Dee, a voice that made him calm, something was living in his heart.


Liam is tired of the entertainment world he does, nothing is pure. Everyone was theatrical about achieving the desired position, begging for popularity. No one trusted him, not even the assistant who took care of his needs for so many years ended up with an unforgivable betrayal. Billions of advertising projects that he is working on are copied and leaked to rivals.


Now Liam chooses to work alone, if he is about a big project he will recruit some workers part timer, not a permanent assistant. So far the workers part timer more reliable work professionally with him without involving feelings.


"Sister, sorry, I was presumptuous with my words earlier" Dee said regretfully.


"Jeez deck. Brother has moved on.. Well, if you split up with Ricchi, it might be a good idea to marry a woman" said Liam.


"Could sister? Have a feeling of interest in another kind? If you just get married easily, but what if you only want to escape from the world of sister, but what if you only want to escape from the world of sister, while the woman you choose wants a marriage bond that is based on love and each other wants to keep until the end of life,"


Liam was silent at the words of Dee, 9 years their age but the thought of this girl was very logical. This is what Liam also liked about Dee, never awkward to express his opinion.


"When you Dee what? When to get married? What kind of wedding do you want?"


"I'm a big sister, proposed. Not proposing, but even if someone close to me asks me to be his wife, at least the first foundation is to like each other. I do not matre well sis, just want him to get an established husband, because after marriage is likely I will stop working office if given momongan, he said, while looking for business opportunities that can be done by a housewife." explained Dee who feeds more Liam than himself.


"It's a grown-up." Mumbled Liam "There is something close to my brother now?" Liam asked then remembered the man who drove Dee home from work.


"Eng." Dee murmured "There is, but not sure. Office friend, I think the guy's good. Oh yes, sister, this weekend the photos are only a day, for example Saturday?"


"Why?"


"Angga, the office friend I meant to take for a weekend pass, if the shooting brother is Saturday, I can go out with Mas Angga on Sunday."


Instantly a flash electrocuted Liam's heart.


"Huh? No!" spontaneous rebuttal of "You from Friday night to Monday night with me, Dek."


"Sister ?" asked Dee in confusion.


"Because you're gonna stay with me for 2 weeks. Then what is the name Angga also come to Kalimantan?"


"So sure, we're a team and it's the company of his parents, but it's probably not too direct for everyone given his independence."


"Oh God!!" Furious Liam pinched his forehead "I can come?" He looked closely at Dee.


"Sister doesn't work? Didn't you just say stress with work?"


Liam gave a rude snort considering his piled up work, somehow the stress that had been caused by the fear of losing the innocent figure of the girl next to him.
