Don't chase me, Beautiful!

Just Feeling Lost

Arta Fashion Building

Darren walked into his office building while glancing at Sella who was at the reception desk, he stepped slowly making his personal secretary stare in wonder.

"Do you need anything, sir?"

"Can you get information about Rista from her friend?" darren Pinta.

Yuno approached Darren then answered him quietly. "You've made her friend go, so just ask her yourself!"

Darren clucked in annoyance.

"I don't want to interfere in your affairs, sir!" Yuno smiled insinuatingly.

Darren is forced to approach Sella and Yuno follows him.

The woman saw the President approaching her hurriedly standing up. "Good morning, sir!" sapa smiled.

"Morning too!" reply Darren. He then glanced at Sella's co-worker who was at the side.

"Sella, excuse me to go to the toilet" she said. Employees already understand if the President began to glance it means they can not hear the chat.

"Can I help you, sir?" ask Sella kindly.

"Hmmm..." Darren has not answered the employee's question.

Sella and Yuno glanced at the President's behavior.

"Sella!" call slowly.

"Yes, Master!" the woman looked at the President.

"Do you know where Ayumi Charista lives?" tanyakanya.

Sella shook her head.

"You're his friend!" said it.

"Yes, I'm his friend after that we never communicate again, sir." Sella replied lying. "Master, ask him if he wants to recruit her back?" tanyanya enthusiastic.

"No!" darren answered quickly.

"Then, Sir?" ask Sella again.

"Forgot it!" Darren steps out of the reception desk.

Yuno caught up with him from behind.

Sella pulled the corner of her lips, "I'll never tell you where she is. Now you know what it means to lose!"

Inside the elevator, Darren grumbled. "He's her best friend, but why don't you know where Rista is."

"Maybe it was Rista who forbade him from telling," Yuno guessed.

"Is he so angry with me?" ask Darren.

Yuno raised her shoulders

-

Darren put his briefcase on the table, he leaned his body on the chair while staring at the window with a view of the sky burning buildings.

"Where is he now?" muttered.

Darren grabs his phone, he tries to find out the woman from social media but he can't find her. Though when they were with Rista quite active in cyberspace sharing his activities even though not every day he posted.

Darren's eyes were fixed on a colored sign in one of the social media apps. Yes, Rista is online but the woman does not share about her activities.

Darren wants to send a personal message but he said, here he is wrong because he fired his girlfriend disrespectfully without prior notice.

Their love relationship has also not completely dissolved because there is no breaking up. But, Rista had suddenly disappeared since her forced decision.

Darren grabbed her hair, "Aaarrrghhh....Why am I being like this? It feels so empty!"

Darren's dinner was more silent, he just churned his food without eating it.

"Darren, why don't you eat?" ask Clarissa.

"I'm not hungry, Ma!" answer slowly.

"You've been like this for two days, are you sick?" ask Clarissa again.

"No, Ma."

"What happened try to tell Mama?" clarissa.

"Ma, Pa, I'm going to the room. It felt so tired today" Darren stopped eating and left.

"Van, do you know what happened to our son?" ask Clarissa to her husband.

"I don't know," Devan replied casually.

"Is Darren like that because of our request?"

"We did it for his own good."

"But you see he's quiet and very cold" Clarissa said.

"I'm sure and believe, the more time goes by she'll forget the woman."

"What if Darren can't forget it?"

"I'll match her to another woman."

"It's not that easy to set him up" Clarissa said.

"That's one way to forget that woman."

"I disagree with your proposal!"

"Why?"

"I feel sorry for Darren and Rista because of your selfishness they ended up apart."

"Why blame me? That woman's grandmother hurt you but you're still defending her granddaughter. They're both the same thing" Devan said.

"Whatever's wrong her grandmother wasn't Rista, Van. I'll bring him back for my son" Clarissa stood up.

"Rissa, why are you being so stubborn? Always against my decision" Devan said in a high tone.

"Do you never know what it's like to be heartbroken? When you love someone but that person leaves you because it's forced to be so painful, Van."

"Rissa, her grandmother just hates us, she'll hate Darren a lot" Devan said.

"I'll keep Rista in front of my son" Clarissa insisted.

Devan pulls his wife's arm. "I never agreed you would do that!"

"I don't care, Van. Darren's happiness is number one to me!" Clarissa removed her husband's hand from his arm.

Devan breathed a sigh. "Well, I accept your proposal!"

Clarissa smiled and hugged her husband, "Thank you!"

...----------------...

Breakfast as usual, Darren sat down to drink a glass of milk and eat a piece of bread.

"Darren, Mama wants to meet with Rista" Clarissa said.

"Mama wants to take her to lunch with her," Clarissa smiled.

"He's no longer in this city" Darren said.

"You mean you fired him?" ask Clarissa.

"According to Papa and Mama's desire to stay away from him, one way is to fire him. So I can't see his face anymore" Darren explained.

"Darren, I'm sorry Mama!" Clarissa showed me her shoulder face.

"No need to apologize, Ma. Everything had happened," Darren wiped his lips with a tissue and hurried off to the office.

"Van, he's mad at me!" Clarissa said softly.

Devan stroked the back of his wife's hand. "You're innocent, I'll talk to him" he grabbed Clarissa by the shoulder and kissed the tip of her head.

Meanwhile elsewhere, Rista was busy in the restaurant. Yes, he again cleaned the floor, arranged chairs and tables because visiting guest hours would arrive.

The restaurant will open at 9 am, the employees are busy doing their activities. Finished cleaning the living room portion of the meal, Rista changed her clothes with the given uniform.

At exactly 9am, guests started arriving. Rista displayed his smile he welcomed the visitors and served cordially.

Rion who from a distance looked at Rista with a smile. Since 3 days ago the woman worked, the restaurant was crowded with visitors. Added to that, the beauty possessed made the man put his heart on her.

"Sir, Rista is so beautiful and friendly, yes!" chirps head chef.

"Yes," Rion replied involuntarily.

"Did you like it?" tanyakanya.

Rion who realized the question immediately turned his head and looked at his interlocutor.

The head chef's man just smiled.

"Why are you here? Wanna see him too, huh?" rion protest.

"Rion, I've seen you notice your new employee that's all!" abugn.

"That's just your feeling, I just saw the performance of him no more," explained Rion.

"really?"

"Don't ask a lot, it's back to work," Rion drove the employee and his best friend.

At 4 p.m., his work schedule was finally over. Rista sat down while massaging her legs because all day she had to pacing around serving guests.

Rista could only rest for 30 minutes. Visitors to the restaurant today are quite crowded, twice as many as yesterday.

Seeing Rista massaging her legs involuntarily Rion crouched down helped the woman massage her.

Rista who was aware of her feet on the touch rushed to her feet.

"Sorry!" rion said because he had acted foolishly holding the legs of a woman who was a nobody.

Rista just kept quiet, he wanted to get angry because the man had presumptuously touched his feet.

"You can go home, already" said Rion broke the awkwardness of the two.

"Yes, sir." Rista immediately went to a special room where employees changed their clothes and prepared to go home.

Rion approached Rista who had just walked out of the employee room. "Would I take you home?" bargained for.

"No, Mister. Thank you," replied Rista.

"You look so tired today and your legs must still hurt to let me drive you home" Rion insisted.

"No need, sir. I can still walk, besides my house is not too far from here. Thanks for the offer, excuse me!" Rista walked quickly away from the restaurant.

-

As soon as he got home, Rista took the water on the table and drank it.

Elisha who had just come out of the room saw his daughter's face was extremely exhausted. "How are you doing today, son?"

"Today is so crowded, Mom. My leg hurts" he replied.

"Go take a shower, I'll massage her!"

"Alright, Mom!" Rista to the bathroom cleaned up.

When she finished her promise, Elisha massaged her daughter's legs. "Your job this time is hard, son. If you were still in the company it wouldn't be like this."

"Mom, enough. Don't talk about the company, I don't want to remember" Rista said.

Elisha was silent, there was guilt in his heart for not telling Rista the truth about his mother's past before the incident.

Being so tired, Rista finally fell asleep.

-

-

Rista wakes up to hear her phone ringing, she answers the call. "Hello, Cell. How's things?"

"I'm good, what about you and your mother?"

"Mom and I are fine."

"Rista, yesterday the President asked you," he said.

"Why else would he ask me?"

"Maybe he still loves you" he replied.

Rista took a deep breath and exhaled, "If she loves me, she won't dump me like this!"

"Maybe he just realized and regretted," said Sella.

"It's too late, I don't want to remember it again so painful!"

"Yes, you're right. What about your new job?"

"I'm happy to do it even though I'm so tired."

"Thank God, I hope you're okay there. I miss you, Rista. We rarely meet now" he said.

"If you're on holiday you can come visit me here."

"really?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"All right, I'll visit you. Give me your full address, if there's any time I'll come!" her door.

"Yes, I'll send you the address."

"I'll wait right away!"

"Yes, Sella. Bye bye!"

"See you too!" Sella hung up on her phone call.

Rista sent her current home address via a short green message.

Before he got out of bed, he opened his social media. A short message came in on the brown application, Rista read it with the name of the sender Darren with the words, 'Hi!'

Rista pulled the corner of her lips not returning a message from her ex-lover. "I used to really like you, President. But, now I have to completely release you!" ogre.
