Flavor Anomaly

4. Ben and his doubts

This morning Jeslin was in the Ball room of the Java Haritage hotel for a new novel launching event. Not only his novel that meets the main table, but several other novels from talented writers who are in the shade of CV publishing. Novelindo Mandiri's.

Jeslin worked at the publishing company, starting out as a freelance daily writer. He often writes short stories and stars that are always selling well in the market. Until finally he was glimpsed by one of the editors to help tidy up the script of other writers who began to arrive.

Of course, in addition to being an editor, he can still write novels because writing is ingrained for Jeslin. By writing a story in his fictional story, Jeslin has a big imagination in his head. The happy life that he had never felt, he could only pour in a fictional love story of his work. Sometimes he adds his personal life story as a flavor enhancer, while making it feel real. Until some readers are always addicted to reading his story. Of course with frills if all he wrote was just a fictional story.

Jeslin had been busy since dawn, preparing all things together with the core crew of the event. At 10:00, the event will begin. Everything has to be ready. Supposedly as a guest star, Jeslin does not need to be busy pacing for all the complexity of decoration and stage, but he is one of the perfectionists and diligent in work. That's what made some of his co-workers happy with the girl's performance.

On the other hand, Daniel is in a car with Ben. They want to have breakfast together and discuss the project they are working on. Ben, too, is a businessman. Although in fact he does not like being a businessman, and is more interested in the world of sports. But because of the demands of the family, then he must also take care of the company of the father. He can still train taekwondo twice a week.

"I think our property business there can run smoothly. But still, we both have to see how things are on the pitch" Daniel said, focusing on seeing the device in hand.

"Yes, definitely, Nile. When do you have time to go there? If you can't get to next month. I have a match, and I will rarely work for a few days." This time Ben was focused on driving. Early this morning, he had already visited Daniel's apartment to leave together before he came to the office.

The property business that they are running, has indeed begun the development stage. Daniel and Ben will build luxury apartment complexes in several cities in Java and Bali. They are looking for opportunities in several large cities that are still lacking in luxury buildings. Not only luxury apartments, but also tourist businesses, with cheap tour packages they provide quite interesting. Especially for young people who like traveling as a modern lifestyle in the present era.

"Late next month, huh? Hows it? I'm busy this week." Daniel turned off his phone and looked at the handsome friend with black glasses on his nose.

"Yes can do it. You just set the time. Here who often do not have free time right you!" syndicate Ben.

"Oh yeah? Ah, just your feelings. The proof is as busy as I am, still I can always be invited to lunch or breakfast together, right? Not like you. So busy."

"Cih, very arrogant. Yes, Mr. director. Where do we eat? You are, most difficult if invited to eat that does not fit your heart. It looks like a girl. Ribet."

Daniel turned on his phone, and immediately saw an instagram status belonging to his brother who was doing live.

He remembered what happened a few days ago, when Jeslin came to his office and met Ben there. Daniel wanted to betroth his brother to his best friend secretly. He realizes that Ben is interested in Jelasin, although not the other way around. But it feels to Daniel, he will be calmer if his brother is with his best friend. Daniel knew Ben well from school, and he knew how Ben was. Although it feels like it will take a lot of struggle if Ben goes after his brother, because Jeslin is the type of woman who is difficult to approach the opposite sex. Even Daniel had a chance to think, whether his brother was normal, or not.

The car began to turn into the parking lot of the five-star hotel. The atmosphere of the place was already quite crowded with cars lined up neatly. A large banner was seen in front of the hotel displaying the name of the author who was about to launch their book. Even in the parking lot alone there are many people who come as invited guests and fans who want to meet their idols.

Ben parked the car in an empty corner. They both went out. Ben looked around because he felt this place was too crowded this morning.

"What event is it? Tumben many gini."

"Aren't you reading the banner up ahead?" daniel pointed to the wide cloth behind them. Ben shakes.

"There's a book launching event. We'll stop by for a second, yeah."

"Book launching? Do you like to read novels? Since when?" Ben looked suspiciously at his weird looking best friend.

"Since ... Jeslin wrote the novel."

"Jeslin wrote a novel?" asked Ben enthusiastically.

"Yes, I haven't told you, yes, yesterday?" ask her and walk closer. Daniel pointed at the banner that was fluttering in the wind. Although their position behind the wide cloth, but the writing and pictures can still be seen from their place. "Jeslin Haryono, author of the tragedy of amaryllis."

Ben was stunned to see a photo of Jeslin who was among a row of other writers. He only realized this, and the funny thing is that he also just found out that the girl who had stolen his attention since a few weeks was a novelist. Ben was too hesitant to ask Daniel a lot about Jeslin. Although his curiosity is quite large, but his guts are not as big as his feelings. Especially after knowing that the girl is the sister of his own best friend. Plus, he still has a big question mark about Jeslin's arrival to the obstetrician a few days ago.

Yesterday Ben only got information from Daniel about the status of Jeslin who is single. Never even dated. Ben doesn't believe and keeps scraping information about Jeslin, and still, Daniel says that the girl is not being close to any man. Daniel can guarantee that, because between himself and his brother is always open and rarely keeps secrets. Especially love issues. Jeslin was often approached by men from various groups, and he always told Daniel all the men. Jeslin also frequently asked for Daniel's opinion before receiving a date from the men. Although in the end Daniel did not know, what happened to the brother, for the tragedy that had taken his holiness. Sometimes Jelsin wanted to tell his sister that, only she was too scared and embarrassed. He also did not want to defame the family. Ian had threatened to spread the video of the incident to the public if Jeslin complained to others. He didn't want Daniel's good name to be tarnished for it. If Daniel had known, Jeslin was sure the matter would have had a long tail. Jeslin did not want to remember that anymore. Even hearing Ian's name, he was already unwilling.
