FOR MONEY
BALCONY CAFE
This isn't Qeezya's date. Why do you look like this? Look at your clothes and makeup, it's like you want to see a girlfriend. You're too excited to make your makeup tonight.
I stood in front of a long mirror that displayed my entire appearance. Long-sleeved black sabrina tops with black a-line skirt subordinates. The hair of sebahu is neatly arranged. A little makeup.
Does this look excessive?

Taxiku arrived at the destination. Dean's been waiting for me on the balcony of the second-floor cafe. He told me this by sending me a message while I was still on my way.
Deg deg.
My heart suddenly beat fast as I was going up the stairs.
Dean was already standing there, welcoming me warmly. A minimalist sofa with a square glass table is on the side of the balcony. We sat facing each other.
“Tonight you are beautiful.” Dean opened the word.
I smiled at her compliment.
Waiter Cafe came to offer two menus very friendly. We accept and open it. There are many menus written there. I just glanced at the drink list.
“I order Caffe latte” My word to the man who is ready to record our order. I closed the menu again.
“You didn't eat?” Ask Dean.
“Let's go.” Answer me with a smile.
Dean fell silent. Replying smile. Then close the menu.
“I Espresso.” Return the menu.
The man passed after taking down our order.
“Sorry to have you come here.” Dean opened the word again.
“What do you want to say?” I asked directly to the point.
“Actually me..” Take something from the side of his seat. “Ingin provide this.” Throwing a silver envelope in a pink ribbon.
I accepted it, and I saw.
Wedding invitation.
Dean & Ranny.
You're getting married?
Silence without expression.
You brought me here just to give you this? I was even excited to come here.
“Sorry not to deliver it directly to your house. And instead ask you to come here.”
Some are sick, but not bleeding. Here in my chest.
“I think, if I take her to your house, we won't sit like this. Talk two like this.”
What else do you want to talk about. This invitation has turned off all my words. There's nothing more I can say.
“Thank you for giving me a chance to love you for a little while. My stupidity made me realize how much wrong I've done to you. I'm really sorry. I'm sorry.” Lirih.
Do you now want to make a confession before marriage?
I took a deep breath. Still staring at the envelope in hand.
“Who's the lucky lady?” I asked, there's a vibration there.
“Friends 1 work by me.”
“3 this month.”
After 2 months we separated.
“So soon you decided to get married?” I dare to look at him.
“Iya.. Because I don't want to go back to making mistakes, and want to get serious.”
Our eyes stared at each other. Getting deeper.
“Why should that woman get your seriousness?” I took a full breath “Why don't you do time still with me? Am I really to be broken?”
My tears can't hold anymore. Let Dean see how broken I feel.
“Do not talk like that. I'm sorry Qeezya. used to not I don't want, I just haven't dared”.
“Crude you.. If you take me seriously, I won't reject you. Because I've been very comfortable with you.”
“I'm sorry Qeezya.. I really don't know if you're serious about ku”
“So you thought I was kidding? Just messing around?” I cried more. “I did have one because of lack of attention with you. But do you know, whenever I'm next to you my heart always beats fast. You make me continue to feel in love with you, even almost every day.” My tears keep flowing. I held back my emotions until my chest was full. “I'm just not good at revealing it.”
“I'm sorry Qeezya. I really don't know” There's a look of regret there.
“To be honest now it feels free. The invitation is in my hands. I promise I will attend. I'll say congratulations to that lucky lady.”
“Qeezya.” Dean held my hand.
His gaze seemed to be unable to see my sadness.
“May I hug you one last time?” My love.
Dean nodded his head, then stood up and sat down beside me. He opened both his hands.
I hugged him very tightly. I felt his body warm again. I didn't expect this warm body I'd never feel again after this.
Dean kissed my head. I hugged him tighter. I don't want to embrace this hug yet. Leave it like this first, it's too comfortable for me.
“Thanks Dean.” I said it very spoiled, and further buried my head in his body.
“May you soon get a good man, who sings you sincerely.” Back to kissing my head.
“Don't say that. It will only hurt my feelings”
“I'm sorry.” Hair-dressing.
“Emm..”
“Why are you so skinny? Does your current job leave you no time to eat?”
I let go of my embrace, and nodded my head.
“Do not overdo it in work. Watch yourself too. Don't get sick.”
Yes I know. I also don't want to get sick after not being with you anymore. Because I knew no one would take care of me anymore. I've really become an independent woman now. Strong women, hardy women.
“Then tonight you must eat with me.” Dean looked at me fiercely.
He ordered so much food. Even to watch my eating. He also forced me to finish all the food he ordered. Crazy him. Haha.
This is our last night together. Dean drove me home. Actually I still don't want to split. Still want to keep together.
Dean really appreciates me as a woman. He treated me very gently and warmly. I'm too comfortable with him. I'm not sure I can find someone like him later.
SERIATE...
