I'm Not a Little Girl, Om!

70. Leo was suspicious of Joseph

Joseph continued to imagine the young man who approached his desk when he was going to eat meatballs with his team when he finished a meeting outside the office. In the man's mind, Jeniffer's old schoolmate has feelings for the girl.

Imagining it made Joseph cringe in his room. Karina who saw the look on the face of the son who was sour when she returned home also let out a long sigh.

Slowly the middle-aged woman cooked her youngest child's room and asked him to speak, "What's the matter, Jos? Koq Mama saw you when you came home like that?"

"So soon after the meeting and want to eat meatballs, Joseph's desk was visited by a high school boy where Jeniffer used to be. He asked where Jeniffer was, "said Joseph in lethargy.

"What you really are, you just don't answer where Jeniffer is now" Karina said rather surprised.

"Joseph said, Joseph said he didn't know Jeniffer's whereabouts,"

Karina who still sees the son is lethargic soon has a thought that Joseph is jealous of Jeniffer's friend. Before long he smiled, perhaps soon enough for Joseph to really realize his feelings for Jeniffer.

"Keep what's the problem? You don't say where Jeniffer is" said Karina, who pretended not to know about Joseph's problems.

"Joseph doesn't know either, Ma" he said, holding his head.

"Have not been too thoughtful, lived first you will also understand what you feel," Karina said as she patted Joseph on the shoulder.

"Yes too, Ma, maybe Joseph will prevent the high school boy from being able to find Jeniffer's whereabouts," Joseph said by clenching both hands.

Karina simply smiled as she looked at Joseph's behavior and said in her heart, Joseph is an adult apparently. Already starting to feel what it is to be attracted to the opposite sex, even though what he likes is a high school boy.'

"Whatever you are, Mama is making eggs, you want to? Papa was already in the dining room because, just asked where you were," said Karina again.

Joseph who heard the word martabak certainly did not refuse the food on that one. Moreover, this homemade is certainly guaranteed cleanliness.

"You dong, Ma, let's get out now" Joseph asked.

It turned out that yesterday was not the last meeting of Joseph and Leo, today he also met with the high school boy when he was finished checking a banking security program at a private bank.

Leo, who was intending to take the money at the ATM at the bank, recognized Joseph and called the man. This time Leo apologized for his innocence and intended to treat Joseph as a form of regret.

Joseph laughed in his heart when he heard Leo money that brought him to eat and salute the young man's courage to apologize and acknowledge existence.

"It's very confident that you're a young man" Joseph said, restoring his hair.

"Yes I'm quite confident because I have the money to buy Om food" said Leo calmly.

"Well, I love your courage. Let's eat now" Joseph asked.

Leo chose a steakhouse that he thought was not too expensive for his budget. The two faced each other as if scanning each other.

"I just wanted to eat a fish steak, just last week during the same meeting the client ate it and it tasted good on my tongue, too" Joseph said, making Leo grimace.

Leo knew that he was still a high school boy who did not have a large income like the man who faced him face to face. But does Joseph have to affirm the difference between the two? Leo complained in his heart.

"OK, Ma'am, order 1 fish steak, 1 beef steak and drink 1 iced sweet tea if you drink what?" leo asked as the waiter recorded his second order.

"I drank a chocolate milkshake a lot of ice yes" Joseph said.

"Okay I repeat yes the order, 1 fish steak, 1 beef steak, 1 iced sweet tea and 1 chocolate milkshake with lots of ice," after repeating the order of the two men of different ages, the waiter resigned to give the order to the chef who cooked.

20 Minutes later their order was served and the two enjoyed their meal in silence as neither Joseph nor Leo intended to start the conversation. An awkward atmosphere was created between the two.

As Joseph turned his head left and right, his eyes widened as he saw Jeniffer entering this steakhouse along with the three girls Joseph believed were friends from the girl's new school.

'Shit, why meet Jeniffer when the cave is here with Leo. This young man will definitely ask the girl where Jeniffer's school and residence money is now. What should the cave do?' joseph in his heart.

"Om why? Koq looks nervous?" leo's question jolted Joseph from his daydream.

"Eh, uh, you're out yet? I just remembered there was a promise from abis magrib's friend. It's been 5 and a half hours. If it's run, let me take it home," said Joseph gave a false excuse.

Joseph certainly did not want Leo to meet Jeniffer at this place. Then the only way is to divert attention from this High School boy.

"In a moment, Om, take care of the potatoes and the drinks" Leo said, making Joseph grimace in his heart.

'Basar boy, really this child does not want to lose apparently, ' said Joseph in his heart.

"OK, let me pay, I happen to have a 20% cashback promo with electronic money" Joseph said, holding Leo who will pay for their food.

Joseph sees Jeniffer's desk having to go through the cashier and Leo's current position is turning his back on the girl and her friends. So Joseph makes a false excuse to prevent Leo from meeting Jeniffer.

***

Joseph was able to breathe a sigh of relief when he and Leo left the steakhouse without greeting Jeniffer. And the incident that just happened to make Joseph aware if the possibility of Jeniffer to meet with old school friends or family Sukmajaya is there.

Remembering that left Joseph panicking and not knowing what to do. It is also impossible for Joseph to forbid Jeniffer to go out and stay at home after school. Because Jorgie said that if the girl should not experience a great mental shock because it might be back to raise Jessi who has been successfully put to sleep.

"Next time I will treat Om, not the other way around. But thanks for the treat, Om," said Leo as Joseph drove him home.

"Okay, I look forward to that day. See you later and I'm sorry to hurry," after saying that Joseph drove his bike out of Leo's house.

"It's weird Om Joseph, it's like something's hidden," Leo's monologue when Joseph's motor is out of sight.

Leo was already aware of Joseph's strangeness at the restaurant earlier, but the young man chose to ignore it at this time.. Leo realizes that the one to suspect is Joseph and he hopes that through Joseph he can find Jeniffer.
