FINDING WORK IS DIFFICULT?
Pretended boyfriend
After Darmawan's departure, the two young men were even sitting awkwardly on the sofa apartment figure. Moreover, the number is actually very bad with Alma because it brings the girl to the problems of her life when the intention of the girl is only working and making money for the needs of life. But Figures instead add to Alma's burden by bringing him on the matter.
"Al emm I'm sorry for bringing you into my trouble, it's just that I had no other choice" The man exhaled a rough breath before continuing.
"I will accept whatever terms and conditions you love but please remain my pretend boyfriend?"
Seeing that his parched face was Alma so empathetic, he did not feel good to refuse especially so far Figures have been so good to him the man was always there to help him. But Alma is also so afraid of the threat of the mother of the man in front of her, Anita can do anything to bring down and destroy Alma. For the middle-aged woman Alma was just a grain of dust that she could easily get rid of.
"I'm afraid of Numbers, I could be your pretend boyfriend. But I'm afraid your mom's doing things we didn't expect, I don't want to get in trouble. My life has been quite difficult" Alma said softly, she was really confused how to.
"about my mother, you calm down. I guarantee she won't do anything, just that I need you to face Renata until she's caught off guard and cancels our engagement plans"
Alma looked up at Figures who was also staring at her, the man looked at her fixedly as if reassuring that everything would be fine. Finally after a moment of silence Alma nodded, a sign that she was agreeing to their pretend relationship. Figures can not not not smile, his face looks very bright when it was a handsome face that looks turbid and desperate.
"I'll make sure everything's okay, you just have to trust me, okay?" Alma nodded again, the girl would entrust all to the Numbers because Alma was sure the Numbers would not break the promise.
"Oh yes about my papah earlier, I actually already know that papah I do not like Renata only what I was afraid of when I made a problem carrying the family name Tanubrata" pause for a moment The number exhales trying to give calmness to his troubled heart.
"Well, I'm the one who doesn't like it the most if there are problems that can potentially damage the family's good name. Especially last night most papah investors who came, but I'm sure now papah has silenced people who came to not spread strange rumors"
"so you calm down?" The grip of the big hand that Alma felt enveloped his tiny, warm hand and this grip was like trying to convince Alma to believe that the owner of this hand would protect him under any circumstances.
"I believe everything is the same as you" Alma smiled a smile that was answered by a smile also by the Numbers, they looked at each other until finally their hands were released with a reddened face. The figure scratched his nape while Alma looked down embarrassed.
It is strange if Alma feels uncomfortable or uncomfortable to be near the number because this has always been what Alma craved. Being near the Figures and being able to feel what it was like to date this tall man, but now that happiness was also shrouded in fear.
But Alma will try to convince the heart that everything will be fine while the Numbers are with her.
*****
Actually Figures are very lazy to go everywhere and just want to spend time in the apartment and discuss many things with Alma. But what wants to be said that his work cannot be left alone, there are responsibilities that must be fulfilled.
He also gets a call from his right hand that helps Figur take care of the caffe if he's not around, telling him that there's a lot of food and drink in stock. Finally inevitably the figure must plunge directly to take care of it.
"For the number" Sapa Lucius Sanjaya, the believer of the Numbers once he wanted to climb the stairs to the 3rd floor where the room was. Lucius was already waiting for his arrival, so the man went up with the Numbers and they entered the workspace The minimalist but aesthetic figure.
"Again, there are reports of what today besides the stock of materials that began to run out" said the number of open voices after sitting in his indoor chair.
"Actually there are some employees who give advice to make some new menus because they feel people who come must be interested in trying a new menu, so that the effect of this cafe does not provide that dish only"
Figures began to be interested in hearing the proposal, the man actually also wanted to give the same advice but because there are some personal problems so forget to discuss it with his employees. Thankfully, they also had the same idea.
"Indeed, it's good that we create a new menu so that more people are interested to come, we can also add a new menu in a few months. In order to have a lot of menu choices, about what foods they recommend are to be added on the menu?"
"They said we'd just put the dessert menu as a side dish, so they proposed some heavy foods such as fried rice, spicy chicken wings or original, so they proposed, and also some other menus you can check here. They say not all the menus they recommend are on the new menu, you can choose some that match"
The number nodded and received a paper spoon containing a lot of heavy food menus, it looks like the number must increase the salary of its employees. They are all competent, numbers should give them appreciation.
"Make 5 heavy food menu, I have checked which menu should be placed in the new menu list" Numbers re-stretch the paper, the number, Lucius looked at some of the food lists that this young boss had listed. There is fried rice, chicken wings, spaghetti, chicken and meatballs.
Afterwards Lucius resigned and Figures only nodded in return. The young man leaned back in the seat of his greatness, laughing at many things in his life including the fate that brought him to Alma first love as well as the love of his monkey.
Although Figures do not know what the real feelings that Alma has for him, considering that the girl used to only make him as a person who pretended to be liked. And the rumor that says he always fails to move on gets the numbers because the numbers don't like him.
The man rubbed his face rough, he himself was also confused whether this feeling was still the same for Alma or actually he just wanted revenge because his love used to not be conveyed to Alma?
I don't know in the end the figure resigned to the fate that will somehow bring where his pretend relationship with Alma, hopefully all ends well without anyone getting hurt. Hope so.
