The afternoon sky in Jakarta looks very bright. The orange elegy that melted down the clouds that collided with the sun that began to semitate from its throne.
The wind that blows in the air carries a breeze of silence that has long reigned in the heart. Emptiness in the soul, as if hacking into wishful thinking filled with hope.
Nature ... as if whispering to the universe. Stringing the scrolls of asa that was complicated. Reaping slowly until immortalized.
*****
Mega is still relaxing in her backyard. Looking for fresh air there. Sepi ... indeed yes, but he must continue to enjoy.
His heart was troubled when for some time the father and mother did not contact him at all. The message he sent was not answered by them.
Mega wondered and guessed, what is it exactly? then he remembered something he had to buy. Some new books and other equipment.
He approached Surti who was busy in the kitchen.
"Bi, I'm going to the mall. Does Auntie want to nitip something?"
"No Non. Aunty yesterday was shopping for groceries to stock in the refrigerator."
"Oh, yes, that's it. I'm leaving, Bi."
"Yes, be careful on the road."
"Yes, Bi."
Mega immediately headed to her room to pick up the wallet and also the cell phone she put in the bag. After that, he went to the terrace of the house to look for Madih's whereabouts.
"Mang Ubed, see Mr Madih no?"
"Sir Madih's in the garage, Non."
"Oh, yes thank you Mang."
"Together Non."
Mega went to the garage next to the main house building. From a distance, Madih had just closed the car door.
"Sir, take me to the mall."
"Now, Non?"
Mega nods. Without thinking for long, Madih went straight inside and started her car engine. Mega is like that.
******
Twenty minutes passed, the car mounted Mega has arrived at one of the largest malls in Jakarta.
"Non, alone or with company?"
"Only by yourself Mr ... " Mega then got out of her car. "Sir Madih wait outside or find a place. When I'm done, I'll call." Mega closed the door again.
"Yes, not ready!"
Mega also entered the mall. Although like a 'lost child' who went to the mall himself, but Mega still enjoy. Because, he can as he pleases go to any store he wants.
His main choice was a boutique that caught his attention from the beginning he saw the boutique. Her name is Almira Butique.
Mega gets into it. He was amazed when he saw the interior design in the boutique.
The boutique employees were instantly silent when they saw Mega enter.
Why does her face look like Hermelinda's mother? is he not...is he his son ?
"Good afternoon, Miss. Can I help you?"
"Sore ... I want to look around first, okay?"
"Of course you can, please."
Mega smile. The boutique employee then left Mega. Then ... her steps came to a halt in a dress that was very familiar to her.
Looks like ... I've seen this dress before, but where is it?
Mega tried to remember. A few moments later, he remembered it.
This isn't the dress that mom ever designed? why are you in this shop?
Mega then approached the boutique officer who had been with her.
"Excuse me, can I meet the owner of this boutique?"
The boutique clerk frowned. "For what?"
"I ... would like to see him."
The employee seemed to doubt Mega.
"Sorry .. but the owner of this boutique is not in place."
"Where would you know that?"
"In the Netherlands," replied someone who came from behind the employee who was with Mega earlier. "I'm Anne. This boutique holder."
"Oh, I'm Mega."
"Can I help you?" anne asked with a hue of arrogance radiating on her aura. Mega just smiled lightly at Anne.
Just being a boutique holder was arrogant like this. Especially being the owner. Wonderful!
All this time Hermelinda did not tell about the child of his puppet only to all his business partners. He was very close about his personal life. Most of them know that Hermelinda's husband who is none other than Adrian is also a big business in this country.
"I, can you take that dress over there?" asked Mega while pointing at the dress she had held.
The two officers followed Mega's line of sight.
"Of course, but it's very expensive. Because it's a limited edition. It was the owner of the boutique who designed it himself."
The owner of this shop? that means this boutique belongs to the mother who just changed her name to mine. Well, I have to be normal, so that I can know the good employees or not.
Same with Mega. Hermelinda was strictly forbidden by Nina to publish about Mega before she turned seventeen and switched to Mega.
The boutique holder stared at Mega with his cynical highlight. He does not even believe Mega who only wears a simple dress with a medium slingbag that he hooks on his shoulder then sneakers.
The vow! as rich as he is! until able to buy the design of Hermelinda's own mother. It costs almost a billion.
Grouse that boutique holder. While Mega just act as calm as possible.
"Thank you" said Mega with hospitality.
"Together, welcome back."
Mega then exited the boutique. When he was busy looking around accidentally he passed someone. Both stopped their steps.
"You ..." said the man.
"Yes ?"
"You're the one in the lawyer's office, aren't you?"
Mega was silent for a moment. "Ah, yes you are right."
"Sorry about that time, I accidentally bumped into you."
"No problem."
"Where are you going?"
"Hm .. just take a walk."
"Oh yeah?"
Mega nods. "If you?" tanyakanya.
"I'm the same .. are you alone?"
"Yes ."
Meg seemed to be weighing. "Alright, come on!" the two began to move.
"How do we eat first? here, I hear there's a nice European restaurant. Do you like European cuisine?"
"Oh, like that. Hm .. not so much. I prefer Indonesian cuisine. I've never been to any of those countries."
Indeed since childhood until now, Mega never once invited to the Netherlands. It was longer in Solo then Jakarta.
"This time, you should try."
"Know, I'm Damar" said Damar as he extended his hand.
"I'm Mega" said Mega while reaching out to Damar's hand.
"That restaurant, we're almost there" exclaimed Damar as he pointed to the restaurant he was referring to.
Mega captures the direction of Damar's view. Soon both arrived. They went inside and sat facing each other.
The name of the restaurant is Spectrum. Indeed, this restaurant is a branch of the central restaurant in the Netherlands. Even the chef is Dutch.
Damar called the waiter. Not long after the servant approached them.
This guy made me fall in love at first sight. Haduuh .. what the hell Mega! remember, don't fall in love easily! Especially now that you are no longer a virgin.
Mega monologued in his heart, unconsciously he shook his head.
"Hallo, Mega? Mega?" said Damar while waving his hand in front of Mega's face.
Mega also realized from his daydream.
"Oh yes Damar .. sorry, why?" kata Mega then asked Damar.
It looked like a restaurant waiter who would take down their order was like holding back his laughter.
"What do you want to order Mega?" asked Damar in a soft tone while giving the menu list to Mega.
Mega also saw and chose the dishes in the restaurant.
"I ordered avocado juice and beefsteak only, the maturity level of welldone yes," said Mega and the waiter immediately recorded the Mega order.
"If you're what, Dam?" ask Mega to Damar who still chooses food and drinks.
"I order mango juice and cinnamon roll ya."
"Well then order Mister and Miss, avocado juice one, mango juice one, beefsteak with maturity level well done one same cinnamon roll one, any more?" said the waiter when repeating the order Damar and Mega.
"No, brother, thank you" said Mega and Damar just nodded his head. The servant then went out from before them.
"Oh yes, Mega .. Where do you live?" ask Damar.
"I live in the Raflesia Exclusive Cluster, you?"
"Wow! then yesterday you were in the lawyer's office what was it?" ask Damar who was curious.
"Oh, that's .. just delivering my parents' files."
"Oh, what grade are you in?"
"Grade two, but soon to go up to third grade. Just finished the semester exam hike ... if you work?"
"Yes, I work in my family's subsidiaries, just ordinary employees, the salary is nothing compared to the CEOs" Damar replied casually.
"Don't go down like that, no matter what salary you get it is the result of your hard work, Dam," said Mega and Damar smiled.
This woman was quite mature in her thoughts. I'm more interested in getting to know him.
"Oh yeah Mega, do you believe what love is at first sight?" asked Damar and Mega immediately furrowed both eyebrows.
Speaking of love, it seems like it's just bullshit for me.
"Honestly, I believe in love at first sight but I don't believe in love after the statement itself" Mega replied.
"meaning?" asked Damar not understanding.
"Yes everyone must have experienced the name of love at first sight including me, but the sense of love can somehow change when the statement has been conveyed to the person who feels loved. Whether it's growing in love or just an obsession" explained Mega at length while shrugging his shoulders and leaning his back on the chair.
"Have you ever been betrayed by love?" ask Damar carefully. However, Mega did not have time to answer, their chat stopped for a moment because their order came.
"Excuse me, sir and Miss one avocado juice, one mango juice, one beefsteak with well done maturity, and cinnamon roll, anything else to add?" said the restaurant waiter while putting Mega and Damar's order on the table.
"No thanks" said Damar and Mega, smiling.
"Well then, enjoy yourself," said the waiter, then left.
"Ga?" call Damar.
"Yes, what's wrong?" mega replied after he drank his juice.
"You haven't answered my question, have you ever been betrayed by love?" damar replied and asked Mega.
"Love never betrays but it is human lust that betrays love" replied Mega.
"So?" ask Damar.
"So what, Dam?" Mega asked Damar while cutting his beefsteak and eating it.
Damar let out a long and deep breath. "So you want to be my girlfriend?" asked Damar while staring at Mega.
Uhuk.. Uhuk.. (Mega is willing)
"Sorry, sorry to eat slowly, Mega," said Damar immediately gave a drink to Mega.
"Thank you" said Mega after drinking and feeling better.
"So? will you be my girlfriend Mega?" ask Damar again.
"Dam, we just got to know. Should this be a date soon?" ask Mega.
"Mega, for me dating it's the introductory stage, with courtship we can get to know each other. I can't promise to always love you, but I will try to always make you happy" Damar replied, bringing Mega's eyes to tears.
"But I'm not as good as you think Dam is" said Mega who began to think back to her current self.
"Every good man should not declare that he is good to everyone. But prove to everyone that we are better than them" said Damar who tried to convince Mega.
"Are you sure I'm a good woman?" asked Mega while squinting her eyes. Damar nodded with a smile.
Mega, I started liking you since we first met a while ago. The longer I think about you. In the end, I am in love with you.
Mega laughed a little. "What do you know about love, Dam?" tanya Mega while stirring her avocado juice.
"I'm a grown man who once loved women alternately, but when I met you it felt different, Ga," Damar replied and again Mega just laughed a little.
"Different?" tanya Mega made sure and Damar muttered softly.
"How old are you right now? until I say grown men, how many women have you dated?" ask Mega while chuckling.
"Now I am twenty years old and my ex is already ten women" Damar replied casually.
"What! ten people?" Mega squealed and laughed and Damar nodded quickly.
"Well .. I'll accept you as my girlfriend but there's a condition we can't!" megah with a serious face.
"What's that?" ask Damar curiously.
"No ***!"
Damar poked his lips and then laughed quite loudly.
"Mega, I'm not that kind of man. For the sake of fear, I still doubt. Well for that one it should be strictly prohibited before we get married," said Damar who still continues to chuckle and Mega felt a little relieved.
Thank goodness, then, I'm not too worried in the future.
And they also get to know each other. It never hurts to learn to love again. Maybe he who is with Mega now is better than someone who has ever loved Mega.
