Bronis (Revision)



Rianti and Shinta had already arrived in front of the store where they worked. Today Rianti's appearance is a little different. It uses attributes that he has never used before.


Seen bandana knot twist elastic Korean style pink adorn his short hair. While in the legs, he uses high heels that are in the same color as the bandana in the head.


Shinta was astonished by the change in appearance of her best friend. Because Rianti who has been with him is not the type of person who attaches importance to appearance. He will choose to disappear and hide rather than be the center of attention of the public.


What is this child's relationship? It scared me, anyway. Isn't it usually like this? Ask no? But, if I ask him how offended?


Shinta thought to herself. "Ri, what's wrong with you? Not usually groomed and rich gini," asked Shinta astonished.


"I don't like it. Even I am very happy, you are becoming more beautiful. But you don't look comfortable wearing high heels" Shinta said.


It was shaking while carving out a smile. Rianti spoke with conviction. "No, I just want to try it, have not used the heels for a long time. After all, I recently read on Google, he said by using high heels can increase our confidence. That's why I tried."


"Some of you can only use heels, when I'm not," said Rianti while laughing small to see his white teeth neatly arranged.


Shinta just kept quiet and nodded slowly.


But still he was worried to see Rianti who was less stable in stepping.


"But you stay careful, yeah. Make heels are not easy, you know," said Shinta while holding Rianti's arm.


There are other employees inside the store. They are doing tasks before the store is open, such as cleaning dust, sweeping, and arranging items to make it look neat.


Suddenly the door opened, and a teenager dressed in a gray white uniform approached Rianti who was busy with his activities. "Hi, how are you?"


Rianti gawked for a moment. Trying to remember who is in front of him. "You were yesterday?" Snarling, Rianti clenched his hands. It turned out that the person before him right now was the one who humiliated him yesterday afternoon. Labile teenagers who express love in front of a crowd.


"Yes, it's me." Smiling, the student who posed the name Davin Setiawan grabbed Rianti's hand. "You are so beautiful today. Intentionally grooming for me, yeah." Speak softly, then kiss the back of Rianti's hand.


Screaming, Rianti immediately pulled out his hand. Got the temptation of the dime suddenly the blood of Rianti sighed.


Why did this strange man come here. Make a sprain. It sucks! Rutuk Rianti in his heart.


"No," said Rianti briefly, rubbing his cashier's desk vigorously with a washcloth. He was so unhappy with Davin's presence that he imagined the table was Davin's face which he could brush with full force.


"Come ... accept my feelings, okay?" davin said with a hopeful look. He forced back the hand of Rianti who was holding a washcloth and kissed it again gently.


Pulling a hand, Rianti rolled his lazy eyeball. "I don't want to, you're not my type!" reject Rianti bluntly.


"Well, look carefully, do not you feel the aura of my good looks that have reached space. And also, many say I look like Stevan William, you know," he said with pride. "I promise, deh. I'll make you happy. I will be faithful to you. Nothing will ever replace your position in my still pure heart" he added, staring at Rianti's face without blinking.


"Alamaakkk, melted heart adek, Baaaang," Shinta chuckled at her cashier's desk. His heart seemed to be tickled after hearing an unqualified seduction from Davin's mouth. And of course responded with sharp glances from Davi and Rianti.


"So how? Accept me, yeah." ask Davin again.


Crazyhead!!! What is this shitty creature made of?"


"Can't! I have a girlfriend!" rianti replied with a voice rising by an octave.


Rianti hopes that his little lie stops Davin's ridiculous behavior and immediately leaves before him.


"Yes, it's okay if you have a boyfriend, I also have a girlfriend," said Davin.


Looking at Shinta who was beside him. Rianti was so hopeful that Shinta would cooperate. But dear, who asked for help even deliberately throw the face in any direction.


Need certainty. Davin who saw the irritated hue from the face of the prospective girlfriend again raised the question. "So how? We started dating, didn't we?" Squeeze the available calculator on the table. Davin made Rianti even more furious.


"No!"


Not long after Haikal arrived.


"What's this?" asked Haikal who was confused about the presence of Davin, his own cousin's sister.


While Davin, being wrong in front of his brother. He felt as if he had been caught stealing mangoes belonging to the next-door neighbor. "It's okay, Bang. Just stop by," she replied, forcing a smile. He left without convincing Rianti.


Flashing in surprise, Haikan tidied up his slightly messy shirt. Not thinking too much about Davin who always makes a tantrum. "Yes already. You continue the work" said Haikal, throwing smiles at Rianti and Shinta. But alas, Shinta returned her smile and gaze with an unusual look. There was a slight change from Shinta's gaze and countenance to her.


"Why with the kid? Ordinary her smile was very sweet, a smile that was so seductive. Ah, if only I had not been married, it would have been him who I made a wife," said Haikal lirih. He also passed to his office.


After Haikal left, Shinta started walking towards Rianti's cashier table.


"cie ... cie .. it seems that soon there will be someone who releases the status of single, nih," teased Shinta while holding back a laugh.


"You want, you take it" said Rianti in a slightly high tone. He was still angry because Shinta did not want to help him at all.

At one o'clock in the afternoon.


"Ri, you're called Mr. Haikal. He's been told to leave the room now" said Kelly, who had just stepped down from the second floor of the building.


Rianti who heard the order only nodded in understanding, then moved from his cashier table towards the boss's office on the second floor of the building.


Rianti knocked on Haikal's office door.


"Lake in!"


Stepping carefully, Rianti walked over to Haikal who was sitting behind a table. "What's up, sir?" tanya, nervous.


"You and Shinta have been working here for six months. Don't you two take a vacation?" haikal asked without looking at Rianti. His eyes were still fixed on the laptop that was in front of him.


"Yes sir, we both want to apply for leave" replied Rianti quickly.


Nodding, Haikal stopped his job. Staring at Rianti who was squeezing his own fingers. "OK, when are you going to take your leave?"


"Saturday, sir," replied Rianti.


"Well, if your Saturday is on leave, it means that your Tuesday comes back to work."


Nodding happily, there was a trace of happiness on Rianti's face. "Yes sir, then I'm saying goodbye." Turning his heels was about to step away. But the steps stopped when Haikal called his name before he could get out of there. "Why, Sir?"


"Wait a minute, can you pass this paint to Mr. Edo?" haikal asked as he gave the small bucket he had in his hand.


Mr. Edo is the owner of the building shop across the street.
