Aeris makes sure the clothes he wears are neat. She wears a black blouse with floral patterns and jeans. Yes, now Aeris has arrived at the Emerald hotel to meet the invitation for dinner from Mr. Dimas. Mr. Dimas told me his location was in a restaurant on the rooftop. Aeris got into the elevator with a wave. He would definitely be very awkward to eat together with rich people. The elevators passed through one floor after another. He had prepared mentally by praying all day.
When he arrived, Aeris looked in amazement at the restaurant. The view is the sky. So pretty. Aeris can see the view from above and the lights of the residents who are scattered look like points of light.
Mr. Dimas has been waiting with his wife, Siska and Cassie. Aeris did not see Reno's figure there.
“Goodnight Mr. Dimas, Ms. Siska.and miss.” greet Aeris friendly. He took one of the chairs next to Cassie. Cassie's not flinching. He also showed an unfriendly face to Aeris.
“Halo Aeris, thank you for coming.” Said Mr. DImas pleased.
Aeris just smiled. He was very much among them. But their appearance is the same. Only using t-shirts, but the aura of the rich is always different. They don't have to show what they have, but people already know they're rich. Different from himself. She was like a maid among these rich people.
“Reno calls if she still has work and can't come. So, please order what you want.” Obviously Mr. Dimas.
“Kan, where do you want him to come.” Cassie Protest. “Tau that I also did not come.”
“Cassie, you haven't met Aeris. You should talk to her, she's a great woman.” Dimas said he advised his daughter.
“Hello miss Cassie, I'm Aeris.. Greetings know..” greet Aeris while looking at Cassie amazed. She was so sweet and cute despite being upset.
“oh yes, hello also.” Answer's cuek.
He continued playing his cell phone. Dimas cleared his throat to find an atmosphere at once to reprimand his son.
“Sorry yes Aeris, Cassie is indeed a little spoiled and jealous.” Dimas.
Cassie reacted immediately. He put down his phone and looked at his father. Dimas just laughed a little. Aeris understood the situation immediately. Must be Cassie spoiled. He lives from a very capable family, even a conglomerate. From top to bottom, everything is branded.
“Thank you sir for inviting me.” Aeris tried to shift the conversation. At that moment the food came. The way rich people are different. They are very time efficient. Before Aeris arrived, Dimas had already ordered food. One by one the food came. An empty table is full. Steak, garlic bread, salad, and wine. All the food is there.
“Please eat Aeris..eat a lot.You are still very skinny.” Siska said suddenly.
Aeris smiled between happy and sad. Glad because Siska was considerate and sad because she had just weighed her weight and gained 2kg. Maybe he's the only one with a broken heart but still an appetite.
“Sorry yes, you should be able to, meet Reno. We already persuaded him, but he still did not come.” Then Siska.
Aeris thought of Reno. How would he come if Aeris had done something that would be awkward. Surely Reno will avoid it. He should have avoided it too, but why would he even be here? Aeris realizes stupidity for the sake of stupidity that he does.
“So you work at EO?” Cassie asked as she poured her wine over to Aeris.
Aeris almost choked to see Cassie change her attitude.
“Iya, miss.” replied Aeris staggered.
“Call names only times.I'm younger you know.“ “By the way, thanks because yesterday has made the show well.”
“Wah, I'm just an onion...Mr. Dimas is also not difficult to accept ideas from our EO.”
“Hmmm, That the hell you want.” Timpal Dimas's.
Aeris just listened. This family is warm. Why is Reno so hard to adapt to? Is it because of the trauma?
“Oh yes, you seem to be close to Reno.” Cassie continued after the father and son debate ended.
“Not also. We met because we misunderstood. That time Reno helped me because I was fired after the party failed.”
“So Reno wants to call Bu Meri and help you work again?” Sela Dimas brandishing her knife. “Outstanding.”
“Reno good person.” Said Aeris later.
“But arrogant and not diligent save.” Cassie continued.
Aeris just smiled. He must keep his attitude, lest he err in front of these higher-ups.
“It's actually the day Reno's parents died. So we purposely made dinner together here, so that Reno is not alone.” Say Dimas again.”Uh, but he's a busy ass.”
“Ya is already a darling.. what is important is that we have tried. indeed he prefers himself.” entertain Siska. She held her husband's hand to calm him down.
“Waduh, romantic scenes again.yeah we have a photo first, send to Reno.”
Cassie pulled out her phone again, then she took a selfie together. Aeris felt even more awkward.
“This let me take a photo.” Aeris said as she got up from her seat. Cassie happily handed her phone. He told Aeris to take a photo from the edge. The view below is also visible. Aeris complies with spirit. He would rather be like this than have to take pictures with people's families.
After a few shots, he returned Cassie's phone. Cassie checked the results and luckily she liked it.
“Thank you,,, I ask for your number yes... later I send the picture.”.
They all spent the night on the roof happily. Only Aeris looked tense. His mind was headed to Reno. Reno must be alone right now. He can also crumble because he remembers the incident that happened to him first.
***
Elsewhere, Reno's phone rang. There's an incoming message. From Cassie. Lazily, Reno opened the message. Cassie sent me some pictures.
Oppa, sarathaeyo, he wrote in Korean style and love stickers.
Reno notices one by one and stops when she catches Aeris in their selfie. Aeris smiles with her hands forming love with her thumb and index finger. Reno smiled slightly. He recalled the incident earlier this afternoon. There was no rain and no wind, Aeris suddenly hugged him. Reno doesn't remember what Aeris said, but all she remembers is Aeris' embrace. The uniqueness and innocence of Aeris is indeed on a different level. He was not even ashamed to express his feelings. Reno shook her head to shake Aeris' shadow. Then he shifted to his foster father. He's much older now. Reno could see the wrinkles around her smile growing more and more. Dimas wasn't a bad guy, but he couldn't get close to Dimas. To him Dimas was just a stranger who was kind to him.
Reno threw her body into the bed. He looked at the ceiling of his room. He's so tired today. Throughout the day Reno does not let her mind rest and just work, so that her brain does not think about the worst events of her life.
