I'm Not Him

22

The phone alarm rings at 04:00 in the morning. Closing her ears, Dila looked for her phone that she was about to turn off. But looking with eyes that are still heavy to open, the phone does not ring at all.

"Then.who's phone is ringing?" muttered.

A ringing sound rang out, but the shakes seemed to move a box. Dila stood up and looked for the origin of the sound. Putting her head first, Dila heard the origin of the voice from inside the locker. Trying to open it but can't because it's in the key. He let out a sigh, the alarm would sound for the next few minutes. Dila sat back on the sofa and tried to recover her consciousness.

Meanwhile, at his home, Yudi was aghast getting out of his bed. He thinks and remembers what happened last night.

"It felt like it was real, I touched her cheek and kissed her forehead" she said, touching her own lips.

Yudi went straight to the bathroom and prepared to go to the restaurant, to make sure.

On the way, he gets a call from Nuri who for a week is upset with him for resigning suddenly. My Spaghetti's kitchen is thrown into disarray by Rania and Yudi's resignation.

"Yes!" answer briefly Yudi.

"Hey...Chef Yudi is a bitch, this time you have to tell me why you came out of My Spagheti's kitchen. I'm still not satisfied with the vague answer yesterday. Your new drunken habit pisses me off at your answer!" Nuri continued to talk non-stop.

"I saw Rania!" yudi.

Instead of answering the question posed, Yudi instead said the thing that made Nuri speechless for a few seconds.

"Are you crazy? Rania is in Australia and still works there. Awesome, this early in the morning you're drunk"

Nuri tries to resuscitate Yudi who she thinks is still unconscious and accepts Rania's departure. Or wake him from drinking.

"It's all your own fault, I told you! tell him you love him and want him to stay. But you're the fool, encouraging him to be successful. Crazy, now you're crazy yourself for your regrets" Nuri nyerocos again.

"Come to Vero's new restaurant if you don't believe me, I'll shareloc" Yudi replied briefly.

He immediately hung up Nuri's phone and sent the location of the restaurant that was in front of him.

Nuri is furious with Yudi's increasingly annoying attitude and just hangs up her phone.

Yudi opened the front door and went straight to the dressing room. Arumi and Vero who were there were ignored. He opened the door and saw the sofa there, empty.

"Where is he?" tanyakanya.

Yudi went back out and pointed at the dressing room.

Vero and Arumi who were talking became astonished to see him. Vero looked at the direction Yudi was pointing at. Arumi is the same.

"He! You call him to work here, right? Now where is he?" ask Yudi in panic.

Arumi looked at Vero suspiciously.

"Who? You recruit people without telling me?" ask Arumi.

Vero gawked, he felt he did not do it, but hesitated as if looking for the purpose of Yudi's words.

"You drunk?" ask Vero.

Arumi's gaze turned to Yudi, yes they know Yudi's new habits during this month. Arumi glared and ignored his words and looked back at his laptop.

"He! I saw her last night, Rania sleeping on the couch. I woke him up but he didn't wake up...."

Yudi stopped talking, he distilled his words and did not say as he kissed her forehead.

Arumi and Vero stared at each other. They laughed at Yudi's panic.

"He's not Rania!" said Arumi.

Yudi looked confused by Arumi's words.

"He's...."

Not finished Vero spoke, Dila came from the kitchen showing the results of his portrait using his cellphone.

"This.this I picked up with just a cell phone. If taken using a professional camera then the results will be better!" said Dila with passion.

Yudi, Arumi and Vero stared at him. Vero asks for his phone, Arumi approaches Vero to come see the results. While Yudi was still glued to look at Rania's face with short hair.

"Ok, this looks good. Later if there is a development, we buy a pro camera" said Vero.

Vero gives Arumi his phone for her to see again. Arumi nodded and admitted that Dila's portrait was quite good.

"Ok great! So, what else is there to photograph?" ask Arumi.

"Food it!" reply Dila with a smile.

Arumi and Vero looked at Yudi who was still fixated motionless there.

"Oh yeah, I forgot. Introduce, this is Dila Aryani Subagja, our new marketing manager" said Vero introduced Dila to Yudi.

"Even though he is 19 years old, but he has a lot of experience in the field of social media. We will try our luck promoting through social media" explained Arumi.

Yudi stared expectantly at Dila's face which was similar to Rania's. Wishing it was Rania, her love. But Yudi immediately realized it, realizing his disappointment.

Dila offered a handshake, but Yudi again acted cold.

"Oh ...yeah!" answer's short.

Yudi did not accept Dila's handshake. He went straight to the dressing room. Dila looked at him, Arumi smiled and Vero was annoyed at Yudi's response.

"Hey....!" exclaim Vero who does not care about Yudi.

"Why can't he be a little more polite!" lamented Vero.

"Have it, you understand that he's disappointed" Arumi said.

Dila listened to Arumi and Vero's words. He wondered what they were talking about.

"What's wrong? Why disappointed?" ask Dila.

"No. Nothing" replied Vero.

Vero blinked one eye at Arumi while smiling. Arumi nodded in understanding Vero's intentions.

"It's okay!" Arumi.

Dila was still curious, yet she could not force it. Today is his first day at work. He did not want to make the impression that he was happy to interfere with other people's affairs.

Dila was given the opportunity to create an official social media account of the restaurant. He was left to work in a chair near the window.

In the kitchen, Arumi asks Yudi and the kitchen crew to prepare all the ingredients for each menu. Yudi was asked to wear a chef uniform that he brought to look neat.

"Ok, I want to ask you to prepare all the ingredients for each menu. Also wear this Vero's Spagheti uniform. I'm sorry to be late, I've promised you these uniforms since the resto opened, but for one or two reasons, the convection party just gave it two days ago. So you can use it for a photo session today" said Arumi.

Everyone was speechless, listening was also confused by what Arumi said.

"Come..change clothes!" arumi exclaimed while clapping her hands cheering.

Yudi took her clothes in the last order after everyone came out changing clothes. The kitchen was empty just him and Arumi. He opened his shirt in front of Arumi while looking at her.

Arumi, who is not strange with his behavior, is ordinary to see Yudi's chest which is also his sixpack stomach and gives a uniform that he will wear.

"Many people understand more about marketing, why should the girl, who is similar to her" said Yudi.

Arumi smiled ridiculing him.

"Hey.you think it's a drama about your life, so everything has to do with your feelings, aishhh..Yud" said Arumi.

"Then?" ask Yudi.

"He came to eat and offered himself to the position" Arumi said.

Yudi looked at Arumi's face which hid a feeling from her.

"What happened to your face?" ask Yudi.

"The way Vero looked at her, the same way he looked at Rania" Arumi said with a sigh.

"So he also noticed their resemblance?" ask Yudi.

"Yes, you're the same. Rania and Rania. He is very special in your hearts" Arumi lamented.

Yudi buttoned his uniform, Arumi folded his clothes earlier and was about to keep them in the locker.

"He considers Rania as his sister. He's already given Rania's feelings to me. I'm the stupid one who doesn't take good care of him" Yudi said.

Arumi stopped hearing her words.

"But the attitude is different after knowing you took it off and acted stupid lately. As if figuring out where she is and how to reach her" Arumi said without turning around to hide the clear in her eyelids.

"No. He's not like that!" elak Yudi's.

Arumi was annoyed and turned around.

"Yes.he is so. You don't know how many hundred times a day he tries to call Rania's number!" arumi was upset.

He gives Yudi clothes that he will not put in the locker.

"Keep your own clothes!" arumi was upset.

Yudi fell silent and held onto his clothes. He walked out of the kitchen, passing some of his men who finished changing clothes.

Arriving near Vero's office, the door opened. Vero seemed to be contacting someone but it seemed unanswered. He tried again to contact but still seemed unable to.

Yudi looked at Vero's annoyed expression and threw his phone at the table. Yudi realized what Arumi said was right. Vero started looking for Rania again.
