In the morning, Glenda's phone was somewhere because last night she hugged her very tightly. Glenda woke up late until her Mommy knocked on her bedroom door. This was the first time Glenda had woken up earlier this afternoon.
Tok to tok.
"Darling, wake up, son. It's noon already. Your daddy can be late for the restaurant" call Zelene.
Glenda just got out of bed and opened the door.
Chequek!
"Mom, I'm still sleepy" he said. "May I have permission not to go to work for today."
Zelene was astonished by his daughter's behavior. I usually never get up late like this. It could be because the whole night did not sleep because he was thinking about something.
"What are you thinking, baby?" ask Zelene.
"Huh? Uh, no Mom. I didn't think of anything" Glenda reasoned. Last night he kept thinking about Darsh.
"Don't lie, Glenda. Mommy knows exactly who you are. If there's a problem, tell Mommy. As much as possible Mommy will help you," explained Zelene.
Should I just tell Mommy. Who knows after this I was allowed to have a relationship with him.
"Mom, if for example I have a lover, may I?" glenda asked in a very slow voice.
"You want to be in love with that guy? That guy named Darsh?" search Mommy.
Glenda nodded. "If Mommy allows."
"Darling, are you sure? Didn't you just know him. Investigate who he is first? If he already has a girlfriend, how? Are you ready for a broken heart?"
Ah, yes. Heartbreak is the reason Glenda is curious to establish a relationship with Darsh. As a teenager until graduating from college, Glenda did not know what it was like to be heartbroken. That is why when Darsh comes to offer a million charms, it makes him more interested in a more serious relationship.
"Mom, Glenda is convinced that the man has no lover" he said confidently.
"How can you be so sure, baby?" Zelene was a little worried.
"Come, Mom. My feelings say that," Glenda replied.
Zelene took a deep breath and then exhaled. Overly curbing Glenda was not a good thing in his opinion. Giving her too much freedom is not good either. So the decision was taken as a middle ground to solve the problem.
"Alright, Mom agreed. Remember, it shouldn't be far from Daddy's restaurant reach. If you want the relationship to be smoother, through the visual path is better. You must be careful, do not get into a forbidden relationship before marriage. The most disadvantaged women here. Always keep your limits! Remember, avoid kissing or holding hands. If Darsh is a good man, he will take good care of you until the time comes" Zelene said. The impromptu lecture made him try to catch his breath again.
"Ready, Mom. Thank ye. I love you, Mom." Glenda hugged her Mommy happily. His desire to have a lover will be realized.
"I love you too. You better take a shower first. Daddy's gone to the restaurant, too."
Glenda went back into her room. Before taking a shower, he took the time to send Darsh a message. He wants to meet today.
[Darsh, can you meet today? If you can, ten o'clock meet me at ZA's restaurant.]
After the message was sent, Glenda went into the bathroom. He did not want to be late to come to the restaurant even though it was not for work.
It feels like today Glenda will get a great chance to get closer to Darsh. The first man to approach her and pull her heart this far.
When she finished, Glenda took her clothes and prepared. He looked at the mirror and combed his hair first. Not to forget, Glenda polished thin makeup on her face. Usually if the working day, she will use a slightly thick makeup, but not too flashy. If it's this kind of business, Glenda is used to doing it herself.
When she was done, Glenda took her sling bag and put her phone in there. Not to forget, he also put his wallet in preparation for taxi fare to ZA restaurant.
Chequek!
Glenda came out of her room. Before that, he checked his phone first. There was a reply from Darsh that was very surprising.
[Ok.]
The answer consists only of those two vowels and consonants. Really not romantic. Is this the man of choice?
"Be careful, baby," he said.
Glenda is very cheerful. He wore a mask to cover his face. He also prepared sunglasses, but did not dare to use them. His sunglasses are too expensive. If Darsh can recognize it, it could get messed up.
Glenda was already in a taxi heading to the restaurant. He doesn't want to be recognized by his co-workers and hopes his meeting with Darsh goes smoothly.
What am I supposed to tell that guy? Did I suddenly tell him, shoot me dong. Ih, not really, right? Ah, let Darsh just say what he wants to say.
"Non, it's here" said the taxi driver.
"Eh, yes. Here's the money, thanks." Glenda rushed down and entered the restaurant. He chose a place that was located in a corner of the room that was far from the reach of passing customers.
Glenda looked at her watch. It's still half an hour until Darsh comes. He ordered a drink first. Before long, the man in black glasses walked in and looked for his whereabouts.
"May sit down" said Darsh.
"Eh, please," he replied.
Silence is a natural thing for a man and a woman to meet for the first time, but this is not his first meeting. Both still look stiff.
"What do you want to say?" Darsh tries to open up the conversation. He did not want to linger in the restaurant because his mother had warned him to go home soon. He hasn't tried on the clothes that will be used later tonight.
What do I have to answer?
"I-I was sorry, Darsh. Maybe it's too soon for us, but I can't hide too long from you." Now not only did Darsh play the puzzle, it turns out that Glenda also did the same.
"What do you mean?" ask Darsh.
"Sorry, Darsh. Actually-"
"Please drink, Miss. Would you like to add another order?" ask the waiter.
"Darsh, do you want to order it too?" ask Glenda.
"No need" he answered.
The waiter then left the customer at the table.
"What do you want to say?" ask Darsh.
Glenda took the drink first. He enjoyed half a glass of the cold drink. After which, Glenda put it back down.
"Darsh, I apologized earlier. Maybe this is too soon between us. I just want to know what our relationship will look like? I mean, whether it's like a lover or just a friend and done."
Darsh looks at the girl from behind his sunglasses. He was still thinking of the right answer for her. It was actually a good opportunity, but Glenda was still a mystery to him.
The relationship that Glenda is referring to, Darsh understands where to go. He could not easily give that answer.
"If, for example, there were only two choices between sugar and coffee, which would you choose?" ask Darsh.
Glenda is not a greedy girl, she will only choose one of Darsh's questions.
"Coffee" replied Glenda.
"What's your excuse?" ask Darsh
"There's no particular reason for that, Darsh. I just chose it."
"I actually know the direction you're talking, Glen. I asked you to choose one so I could be sure you were the best for me" Darsh replied.
Glenda was getting confused over the direction of Darsh's conversation. He also did not understand the choice between sugar and coffee. He only chooses what he thinks is good to choose.
