Innocence Love's

Not Love but Likes

A white cloth-cloth-clad round dining table and two padded wooden chairs are available with a flash in the middle of Alan's workspace with views of skyscrapers.

There were only two beautiful white plates side by side with spoons, forks and knives. There was a bottle of wine and a pair of legged glasses.

Alan always began his lunch by sipping a rare red wine of his collection produced in the twentieth century.

There was nothing impossible for Alan to obtain the rare things that were of interest to him.

The office looks a bit like a restaurant.

A waiter poured wine into each glass.

Risa only mimics how Alan treats wine in his glass. Not very attractive to him.

Risa turned her attention to the chef who was busy rounding the ring that had been peppered on the hands of the chef who had been coated with plastic gloves.

"You made a lick?" Risa asked the chef.

"No miss, these are meat balls." Answer the chef.

"That's Cilok!!" Alan gave an affirmation to his words, staring intently at the chef.

"Of course it's lilok sir." The chef began to get agitated by the mistake he made.

Risa paused for a moment looking at Alan then gave a small smile.

"It doesn't matter if it's a peck or a ball of my master's flesh. It's the same." Risa explained slowly, trying to lower the pressure seen on Alan's face.

"Of course it's not the same." Answer Alan.

"I brought him here to make him your favorite lick, not meat balls." Alan continues.

Lisa smiled back little.

I like this guy, mister. He's very funny.

His mind.

"It doesn't matter to me, sir, whether it's a peck or a meat ball. They're made of the same material, and shaped the same as a ball."

"It feels the same." Risa continues.

"Have you ever tried cilok?" Ask Risa.

"I don't like this conversation, I won't respond to you anymore." Alan sipped back his wine and indifferently.

The smell of meat balls burned on the grill and smeared with a special sauce made from butter thawed with a mixture of garlic and chili chop.

The chef then serves balls of cooked grilled meat on a large white plate and is watered with melted cheese, then watered with a special sauce made from chili, tomatoes, garlic, etc, red onion is mashed, then sauteed and thickened with corn flour and then sprinkled with a little slices of lime leaves. Served with boiled potatoes that have been diced and sprinkled with a little salt and black pepper.

This is when Risa will not care about anyone around her.

He started scooping the potatoes, then splashing the sauce-baked pegs with the sticky cheese on top of his potatoes.

Puncture the lizard with a fork and end up in its bite. What a familiar taste but much more evocative taste.

"You like it?" Ask Alan.

Risa raised her face.

"I like it so much." The answer.

"What about me?" Ask again.

"Do you like me?"

"Yes I like you." There was no gap between the answer and the question that Risa got.

Alan smiled.

Risa continued eating.

You really like me, not love me. But that's enough for me, because love is the beginning of love.

Alan muttered in his mind.

Cut the cilok with his dinner knife, stab it with a fork and eat it. His face was smiling enjoying the gibberish.

Time shows at five o'clock in the afternoon. All employees one by one out of his room to the lobby and go home to each other.

Risa had read the previous secretarial note that her boss always worked until night, finally she decided to go home without having to wait for Alan.

Risa pressed the down button on the elevator with her right hand, while her left hand held the rose and was busy inhaling its scent. Alan was not aware that he was beside him.

"How dare you get off your desk without waiting for me."

Sontak Risa was shocked and spontaneously turned her head.

"Sir!?... Why are you going home now?" Ask Risa.

"What do you mean why go home now? I'm the boss, entitled to go home anytime." Answer Alan ketus.

"I thought you'd work till night." Bela Risa's

the elevator door opened, Alan immediately stepped in. Risa also followed while running small.

An awkward silence for Risa burst out inside the elevator that only the two of them were in.

There's no talk.

A few minutes later the elevator opened again, they went out to the main door of the company. All the employees bowed their heads to Alan, of course there was never any response from him.

Mr. Doni has been waiting in front of the lobby.

"Good afternoon sir, good afternoon, miss." Say hello to Alan and Risa.

Risa nodded smiling.

After Alan came in and sat down, Mr. Doni immediately ran a small step into the steering wheel and waited for the instructions from his master to walk.

Alan opened the car's glass.

"Go home immediately." His orders to Risa.

"Of course, sir." Answer Risa.

Slowly the car starts to run, but Alan's eyes are glued to the rearview mirror in the car.

Risa is seen approached by a man, seems to work on his company as well.

Alan immediately took his phone and called Andre.

"Immediately find out who the man who approached Risa was." Alan orders Andre, then immediately hangs up the phone with a wrinkled forehead. Alan grasped the dark aura at the smile of the man approaching Risa. That worries him.

"I'm looking for you, Risa, baby." From behind Risa heard someone talking to her, a familiar voice. Spontaneous Risa turned.

"Reg, since when are you here." Risa is a little surprised by the existence of Rega, although she realizes that this work is obtained from Rega.

"I was looking for you that night, when you left." Rega's smile looks very ordinary and friendly in Risa's eyes.

"I'm sorry I didn't wake you, I found a place to stay and didn't want to disturb your rest." The lie.

"It doesn't matter to me that if you wake me up, I'm just worried." Rega looked very sincere with his words.

"Thank you for worrying about me, but I don't want to bother you much." Trying to convince Rega.

Risa did not want to linger talking to Rega, her body seemed to be encouraged to stay away from Rega.

"I'll go home, if we're in the same direction, I can drop you off wherever your new home is." Rega's offer would certainly make Risa refuse after all.

"It looks like I'll go shopping before I go home, thanks for your offer." With a softness Risa refused.

"No problem." Rega smiled meaninglessly accepting Risa's rejection.

Risa put her foot away.

"Riss." Call Rega from behind.

Risa.

"I'll call you about our agreement, enjoy your month." Rega said a little yelling at Risa, turned her body and left.

Risa fell silent stiff without a word, given the agreement she had agreed with Rega.

Nothing can be done in her stomach. He began to enjoy work with the Boss who started to like him, but hearing the words Rega spoke, like lightning striking his heart and mind, made his mind darken.
