Loving In My Way

"Bosses..." Drey came up to me and showed me something from the iPad he was holding. A lady. I looked at Drey, trying to understand what he meant.

"Watch a look at the boss. Are we thinking the same thing?" I'm a little upset. It was like being given quiz. I'm not in the mood to play games.

"To the point Drey. Whatchu mean?" I'm not even interested in seeing that photo. He approached. Pointing the iPad screen at me and starting to slide the photos to the side. After a few photos, something clinked in my memory. He reminds me of someone. Jade. I looked at Drey sharply.

"wait. The other jade?" I convinced myself. My eyes returned to the screen and followed Drey's fingers sliding the other photos.

"OKAY. Thats enough. Now explain in more detail. What do these photos mean?"

"As you think boss. He was another Jade. She is one of the candidate models that we will choose to become a brand ambassador for launching Earnest fashion products in Indonesia next year. I accidentally checked all the files that the boss had to check. Probably because not many know Miss Jade, so this photo just goes into our files..."

"Australia...?"

"Yes the boss."

"Have you done some research to get the information in more detail?"

"It's boss."

"OKAY. Continue."

"His name is Chanel Travis. A descendant of France who lives in Indonesia, precisely Jakarta. It has not been found since when he was in Jakarta - after this I will try to explore further - and in the last two years he has become a famous celebgram there. Through social media, one of them is Instagram. From his account I got information that he made the account about approximately 3 years ago. But by being very active posting photos using branded goods since the last two years and the number of followers increased sharply to 10 million more. Graphic engagement with followers is also significant. She began to be used as a model for several local brands. And in recent months, he entered the socialite circle and was often invited every time he launched a new product from a global or local brand in Jakarta. From the pile of these candidates, his position was ranked number one. From the PR division I get a note, that she is the most recommended candidate to be a brand ambassador of Earnest fashion in Indonesia..."

"How many candidates?"

"4 the boss."

"The other 3 are also selebgrams?"

"Request this ambassador's recruitment planning data from the PR division. Inform them that I will be directly involved in the election of ambassadors this time. If they ask why, just say that Indonesia is a potential country for the development of Earnest fashion. So we have to plan carefully and take super careful steps..."

"Ready boss."

"Continue investigating him. Find out who his family is. If you can, find his house. Investigate secretly. Who knows, it has something to do with the person we're looking for. Send one of our men to fly there following Chanel Travis. Immediately inform, when the PR division will meet directly with the candidates. We're leaving with them."

"Ready boss."

"OKAY. Drey quickly. Not long. Have you booked a ticket to Seoul tomorrow?"

"It's boss."

...

Time to meet Jade. The love of my heart that was still silent and did not react when I came. Even so, the smooth thump in my heart never stopped when it was nearby. My ability to argue that he hears and understands the one-way conversations I have, as well as the books I read, is getting better. I became proficient. I decided to think about myself first. Not knowing when it will be, but I care a lot about my feelings, my love and my longing, must always have a master and can be treated regularly by looking at his face. That's how I thought about surviving in that uncertain state.

As soon as the nose of the car entered the gate, my eyes were immediately fixed on the room on the second floor. The sky was still late in the afternoon, somewhat bright, still visible shadows that were behind the thin vitrase of the room's window. He's there standing. Look out the window. Another form of delusion is, I believe that he was standing there waiting for me to come on schedule. When she saw the car that was taking me into the yard, she felt calm and lay on the bed. I'm not always sure that he's sleeping. Even though he was lying down, closed his eyes and did not move when I came. It's okay, baby. I'll be waiting. Although there is no definite deadline, I am waiting. It's okay, as long as he's there. Waiting is not difficult. I realized that when I found it almost lifeless in a basement room about a year ago. Seeing him now is much better. At least, I can still be selfish, loving him in my own way.

When I entered the room, I saw him lying on the bed with his eyes closed. Nothing has changed, her beautiful face or her attitude. Then I kissed her head, the fragrance I missed from her hair was still the same. I sat down next to the bed and started talking to myself. Telling me the routine I was working on in the office though not much different. Then, I continued reading a story from the book.

I continued reading Emily's story from the book 'The Girl Who Chased the Moon' by Sarah Addison.

After being abandoned by her mother, Dulcie, Emily finally leaves Boston to meet her grandfather, Vance, at Mullaby. Since living there, he was met with many new things and he thought strange –because the first thing happened– and his perspective changed along with his efforts to be able to adapt in a new life. Vance's grandfather who he thought was scary because of his giant size, turned out to be shy. There were many other strange occurrences that greeted Emily. Like the wallpaper in his room that changed at will, strange white lights that appeared at night from the direction of the forest outside his bedroom window, as well as objects that appeared and disappeared for no reason.

Just like Emily who suddenly had to be in a new place. A lot of strange things and the first time he found there. But life goes on as life. No matter how weird, and not as good as what, Emily can still find beautiful things there and finally be able to adapt. In the end, humans are the same. Everywhere, there will be bad people, but there will be good people. And whenever it is, bad people can turn into good people, and vice versa. It depends on us being the person who. And whatever our choice, we have rights and responsibilities in the process. We deserve to be happy and content. But also take responsibility for the consequences that exist at the end of each choice.
