FORBIDDEN TO FALL IN LOVE

10. Execution

"What idea did you get, Val?" celine asked excitedly.

Kris canceled eating his fried chicken. He was also curious about Valeda's idea. His hands stopped in midair and preferred to hear what Valeda was going to say.

"Doll!" exclaim Valeda girang. "Download, then phone number, then shampoo, then date, then problem solved!"

"Fuck, Val! Please, slowly! I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about" Celine replied. "Kris, do you understand?" Celine looked at Kris.

Kris grabbed one of the fried chicken thighs. "Miss Val wants to make a contest in the form of a raffle that Miss put in a shampoo pack. For the man who finds it, he'll go on a date. As soon as the outline," Kris replied, then devoured the fried chicken in his hand.

Celine gawked at the answer from Kris. He looked quickly at Valeda. "Is everything Kris says?"

"Yes! Aye! Exactly right!" Valeda is excited.

Celine frowned. He doesn't seem so sure of Valeda's current idea. "Val, I've been friends with you for not a year or two" Celine said. "At least, even if not in the real world, I know exactly what kind of man you are being criticized for."

Valeda's spirit was instantly reduced by fifty percent. He himself still remembers, how his expression when he saw Robert Downey in the films. Only the cast of Sherlock Holmes that one can make him stunned not to move.

If Robert Downey appears before Valeda, of course their age is far adrift. Probably about thirty years. That will be a consideration for his family.

"Not only is it likely that the draw will be obtained by people who are outside the criteria of Miss Val, but there is also the possibility that the winner is female," added Kris.

Valeda sat inching on his couch. Kris and Celine were able to scare him into realizing his idea that a second ago was a brilliant idea out of his head.

"But there are still other ways to anticipate" continued Kris.

Valeda sat up straight. He looked at Kris expectantly. Tumben once Kris has an interest in what happened, to have an idea of everything. "How's it?" valeda asked impatiently, because Kris did not immediately answer but preferred to devour his fried chicken.

Kris hurriedly swallowed the fried chicken in his mouth, seeing his young miss impatiently. "Report before you meet" replied Kris.

"So, you're saying Miss Val chose her candidate by stealth?" ask Celine.

Kris nodded. "Miss Val doesn't have to list her personal phone number. Miss can use a new number and chat with the lottery winner to meet somewhere. Miss Val also does not have to reveal her true identity to the winner. Then, on the day of the meeting, Miss Val could spy on Miss Val's order table first, before going to meet the winner."

"Agreed!" sahut Valeda fast. Then Valeda ran into his study. He had to think about this idea carefully because it concerned his pride in front of his parents.

Celine and Kris are left in the living room, choosing not to interfere when Valeda is in "on" mode". Kris, who from the beginning wanted to enjoy the night with fried chicken, chose to stay in place.

"Kris," call Celine who's still sitting across from Kris. "Is that a good idea?" tanyakanya.

Kris nodded once. "As long as our lady is safe, there's nothing we need to worry about" Kris replied. "I will also be watching Miss Val as this mission goes on. So, you don't have to worry about something unwanted happening to your best friend."

Celine smiled faintly at Kris's words. "You are the one who can calm me the most" Celine said.

"Ehem!" Kris cleared awkwardly. "Then... What if this mission's over, we have dinner together?" bargained for. He still devoured the fried chicken in his hand, to overcome the awkwardness that appeared.

Kris's hope instantly evaporated. The answer from Celine clearly reveals that Celine has no romantic outlook for Kris.

Kris chewed his fried chicken lethargicly. It doesn't taste so good anymore. Kris seemed to have lost before the match. He would bury his feelings deeply in the depths of his heart. After all, she was not as good as Celine who could keep up with her young miss. Kris is not as rich as the Celine family. There was a gap that was basically invisible between them.

"Why? The fried chicken doesn't suit your taste?" celine asked who saw Kris eating with a sad look. "And I love the same chicken in this restaurant. My parents even became their regulars."

"Not... Not the chicken." replied Kris was not tasteful.

Celine will ask again about Kris who suddenly lost her spirit, but was stopped by Valeda who entered back into the living room.

"Here we go!" Valeda showed off a piece of paper containing many scribbles.

Celine received the paper from Valeda, then read it in silence. After a minute, Celine passed the paper to Kris.

"As soon as the sun comes up, call the person I wrote on the paper. He's the only one who knows this plan but you," Valeda said. "Need you to remember, this mission is a secret! Can't get leaked to anyone, even if it's someone you trust a lot!" he added.

"Yes, I know," Celine replied, while Kris simply gave her thumbs up.

The night passed quickly. Kris returned to her home at about twelvepm, after which she drove Celine home. Valeda also fell asleep quickly so tired he was that day.

The bright morning arrived. After drizzling all night, the clouds were no longer above the morning sky. Making the sunlight freely burst in from the window.

Valeda's been sitting in his office for an hour. He was busy checking the reports he should have been able to complete yesterday afternoon, if only there were no blind date appointments.

Geck, tok, tok!

A gentle knock on the door distracted Valeda. "Lake in!" valeda answered from his chair.

Celine came in with a glass of hot coffee on the tray she was carrying. "Coffee, Val," Celine said as she approached Valeda.

"Have you called the man I asked for?" ask Valeda. He immediately received coffee from Celine. She needs coffee to help her concentrate.

Celine nodded. "Already" replied Celine. "Nine o'clock, shampoo packs containing prints of mobile numbers, will be sent randomly to five nearby cities." Celine took out Valeda's phone. "Do you want this handle yourself, or do I take care of it?"

"Let me, please" Valeda reached out and received a cell phone from Celine. "I have to finish as quickly as I can."

"By the way, the meeting schedule with your new mall marketing team, will start in an hour" Celine warned.

"I'll be in the meeting room in thirty minutes" Valeda replied. He sipped his coffee first before returning busy with the papers on his desk.
