Behind The Ceo
DBSC 26'S
Chris apologizes for accidentally bumping and the man just smiles nodding then goes towards the room of Mr. Arya. He saw the man missing behind a closed door, like something felt familiar but ignored by him. She immediately left there and returned to the apartment to visit Alexa because she missed the presence of the woman. After a few days of not exchanging messages with Alexa made Chris want to spend time together. He was currently tempted to think about the fate of his love. Uh, love, is she in love with Alexa?
Meanwhile, Alexa is currently going to take a nap because she is tired of staring at her laptop screen. Just as he closed his eyes suddenly from outside, a door opened. He who was in the room could not move quickly because of the condition of his feet so he tried to call Chris because this was his apartment. Once connected, the ringing of a cell phone rang out loud in the apartment that made Alexa wonder. As he was about to move to sit in his wheelchair, Chris looked into his room and asked why he was contacting him.
“I just went to bed. Suddenly I heard someone open the door. Kan ya afraid, it turns out you are in,” protest Alexa.
“Sorry, I brought you lunch.” Chris moves Alexa into a wheelchair and takes her out.
“You really like it, give me food. What do you want me to be fat? Moreover I am still in a wheelchair.” Alexa's whistle won't eat but as soon as she sees it she can't bear to taste it.
“Lho is so. I mean it let you heal fast.”
“Yes but not gini either.”
“That's it then. If you don't want to eat, accompany me. I miss you,” said Chris suddenly made Alexa blush her cheeks.
“Duh, so dreadful. Very lying he.”
“Kok protest continues, anyway! Yes already, sit here first.” Alexa left in the living room because she had to take a container to serve food.
Alexa calms her unsafe heartbeat alone with Chris so she screams, “I also asked to get a plate!”
Chris came back by shaking his head, “nah, tempted also to accompany me to eat.”
Alexa only grinned at Chris' opinion and she received the plate Chris gave her. After that he waited for Chris to give his portion because this was his favorite. The food that Chris brought was his favorite taste buds, although it did not taste as good as in the city where he was small. He remembers telling Chris about his past with Chris. He was worried about being honest or not. Moreover, at this time they were just the two of them, without any interference from anyone to speak. Maybe after they finish eating, Alexa will dare to talk about it.
When Chris finished serving on his plate and Alexa's plate, they started eating.
“Tumben is good, buy where? I live in Jakarta it's hard to find a good rujak.”
“It buy around this apartment really, just different block only. Lucky dong me if you like.”
“This is my favorite food where I come from.”
“Where are you from?”
“I'm from Yogyakarta.”
“Away once you migrate.”
“There was an acquaintance who offered me to work here. You know if I'm from an orphanage. Well, that acquaintance brought me here.”
“Who is he?”
“I've considered him like my father.”
“Oh, cyrain.”
“Nothing. Oh right, Lex, I have something to talk to you about.”
“I also.”
“Oh, you too? What is it?”
“There will be, later after eating. Can I deliver it first?”
“Ok.” Chris stood up to take a drink because he had finished eating while Alexa still stayed half a portion.
Chris brought Alexa two glasses of water so she wouldn't go back and forth to the kitchen. Alexa felt full so forced to move her food to the kitchen so as not to disturb.
After that, he fixed the position of the wheelchair so that Alexa felt comfortable talking to him. He turned on soft music for their background music. Chris thinks that he wants a romantic atmosphere when he declares love later, as it is in his shadow.
However, he has allowed Alexa to express what she wants to say first so that it makes her hold back from expressing this love. Meanwhile, Alexa gets nervous to be honest with Chris but wants to be up to when he will lie to Chris.
“So, Chris.” Chris looked up when Alexa called him. “I'm sorry before, I had no intention of lying to you.”
“What do you mean?” the question is slow but there is an urgent curiosity.
“There's actually one thing I haven't told you. Please don't cut my story first.” Chris just nodded and tried to be patient.
“When I was a kid in an orphanage, I knew a little boy. He was older, he helped me a lot because I was the one who had just entered the orphanage. He is a pleasant, kind hearted and always smiling.”
“When I was in Junior High, I expressed love for him because he told me a story. If he has already graduated from school, he wants to go to get a job with a big salary and he will send money to the parlor.”
“But I was rejected by her on the grounds that she did not consider me as a woman just a sister. From there I was angry with him so that when he left I did not see him. He was sad actually not saying goodbye to me but I who was still angry and hurt decided to stick to my stance.”
“Continue until a few months after his departure, he sent a letter to the orphanage asking for news. He told me that he had got a job in Jakarta and apologized for giving news. It turned out that there he was in trouble for the first few months. When I talked to him, I felt awkward because we were separated badly. I decided to apologize to him for the incident back then.”
“After the first news, after a few months he sent a message back and a little money the results worked. But after the second news, he disappeared. Those of us in the orphanage had a hard time finding, no one could help. At that moment came a helper. He became a home donor when the parlor was short of money and almost evicted. Well, that's the guy I consider my dad.”
“And when I was in Jakarta, I met my childhood friend. But he doesn't remember me at all. I think he still holds a grudge against me but he doesn't. He had an accident that made him amnesiac. I was confused to tell her that I knew her but I was afraid if she was angry because she might just think that I forced her to remember the past.”
Chris digested Alexa's words after he finished telling the story. “Then, who is that person?”
“That person is you Chris, you are my childhood friend. I got information from Jerry if you're in an accident and amnesia.”
“So, all this time you know me but why didn't you tell me?”
“As I said, I don't want to force you to remember for hearing Jerry if you remember you will suffer from annoying headaches. I don't want to see you in pain. If you want to be angry, say, but please don't throw me out of your life,” said Alexa while sobbing waiting for Chris's decision.
Chris pensively thought about Alexa's explanation, this was too sudden for him. Lost already wishful thinking expressed love even get a surprise that is very unexpected. Although there is a part of him that suspects that Alexa is the girl in his dream. What should Chris do?
