It's like, I'm in Love
Ch. 26
The sound of an incoming message makes Desi immediately unlock the screen.
...Young Master...
Whereabouts?
^^^Still on the road, sir.^^^
PAP
Desi knuckles crinkled. How he will take photos. Desi stole a glance at the rear passenger seat, looks like Mrs Rara is busy opening the magazine.
Desi slightly raised her smartphone and took a photo of Pak Jaya, the Driver, who was focusing on looking at the highway. He sent the photo to Alfian.
...Young Master...
How about Jaya sir? It should be your photo.
^^^Sorry Young Master.^^^
Desi took the photo again using the front camera. This time he raised the device a little higher. Until his face is seen. But Desi deliberately only showed half of his face. And in the back is seen Mrs Rara who is reading a magazine.
In the office, Alfian waited for Desi's reply while reading the financial statements. When the incoming message sounded quickly his hand grabbed his communication device. When the photo opened, Alfian's forehead wrinkled. The hope was to see Desi's face extinct already. The girl only showed half of her face.
No, not half but one-third. Because his nose was not visible in the slightest, only half of his eyes were visible. The rest is the seat back and Mother who is in the back.
Hhhhhhhh
Alfian sighed. He put the smartphone in his hand in a doldrums.
While in Madam Rara's car, Desi breathed a sigh of relief because the Young Master no longer sent a message.
The car arrived at a traditional market. Desi was a little surprised, it turned out that Madam Rara was willing to come to that place. Not to the supermarkets who also sell fresh food. Even their car is parked a little far away so it does not attract attention.
Before descending, Desi glanced at her watch. It wasn't eight yet, so the sun wasn't too hot to walk. It was only fitting that Madam Rara came early in the morning and forced Alfian to leave sooner than usual. Apparently because the woman was used to parking the vehicle away from the market.
Desi followed Madam Rara obediently. He only found out that his employer had several places to subscribe to groceries.
While being picky, suddenly the sound of the notification is heard. Desi quickly reached into her small bag. Alfian had warned him before leaving. Desi must not long reply to the message, otherwise it will get punished.
...Young Master...
Whereabouts?
^^^In the market, sir.^^^
PAP
Desi takes photos quickly until the quality of the photo looks out of focus. Then he quickly sent the photo to Alfian.
...Young Master...
Repeat, the result is blur.
Desi.
Desi.
Alfian was upset, his message was not immediately replied by Desi.
"Maybe he's helping Mother. Ok, I'll wait a few more minutes." Alfian muttered softly.
A few minutes later a photo came in, just as Alfian was typing the message he was about to send to Desi. And back Alfian swallowed disappointed because this time it only looked a bit of Desi's body with a different background. Looks like they've moved.
"Can't he take a photo properly?" Alfian said withstanding his annoyance. "This girl is really testing my patience."
Alfian put the device on the table in annoyance. He tapped the table with his index finger. Weighing to make a video call. Sound of notification. Alfian's forehead frowned when he saw the writing of the sender of the message was Mother.
He immediately opened the message. Mother sent a photo. Alfian immediately opened it and instantly his eyes were perfectly rounded.
In the photo, Desi is smiling broadly at a young man holding a live chicken. And the young man smiled sweetly at Desi. Despite his simple appearance and a little dirty, Alfian admitted that the young man looked sweet.
Regret peaked. He immediately called Mother. Alfian stood up from his chair and gazed out through the glass wall. But Mother did not immediately pick up the phone until the call deadline. Alfian then called Desi.
Shortly thereafter Alfian's phone was picked up and changed to video mode. How surprised Alfian was because his screen was filled with the face of Mother.
"Eh Bun's…."
"Disturb Desi once again, Mommy mate is actually Desi the same chicken man earlier!" Hardik Mommy with a voice full of emphasis and almost whispered.
Alfian jerks. "Yes.iya Bun. Sorry."
With a heavy heart Alfian disconnected his phone. It turns out that Mommy already holds a Desi smartphone.
"Thank you Madam." Desi said after Rara returned her device.
"Other times if Alfian is like that again, you just tell me right away. So that I am not upset because you are not focused on choosing vegetables and even photos." Reprimanded Madam Rara with a soft voice even near the ears of Desi so as not to hear others.
"Okay, Madam."
But a second later he closed his mouth and turned to Desi. And Rara can breathe a sigh of relief because Desi is busy choosing citrus fruits. It means that Desi did not hear Rara's murmur.
🍊🍊🍊
"Lake in!" Alfian exclaimed as soon as he heard the door of his room being knocked. The door opened, but Alfian did not lift his face from the papers in front of him.
"It's time to eat, Fian."
Mother Rara's voice made Alfian slightly whimper.
"Eh, Mother."
"Good day, Young Master." Sapa Desi who is behind Mrs Rara.
Alfian stunned. Desi wore a rayon dress that was just above the knee. Combined with flat shoes, Desi's appearance looks different and sweet. Even Mother Rara has changed clothes. It means that Mother has planned this before. Bring Desi to the market and take her to the office.
"Don't look at Desi. Let's eat first." Tegur Bunda Rara's.
Desi deftly arranged the food he brought. Even take rice along with vegetables and side dishes to eat Alfian.
"Thank you." Alfian.
"Together Mr."
When Desi was about to fill Rara's plate, the woman refused.
"I can, I can do it myself. You eat too, come on." Reject Rara while starting to take her own food.
"I'll be later, Madam." Desi tried to refuse.
"No, you should eat now with us. Because our journey is long."
"Where else will you take Desi? Poor Desi's tired of Bun."
"Pity Desi or???" Madam Rara purposely hung up her sentence.
Alfian shook his head. He knew he would be the target of Mother's insinuation after being caught constantly monitoring Desi.
"It's delicious." Praise Alfian. It is your intention to divert the conversation.
"Nake because we choose the best material. Had it not been disrupted when choosing, it might have been even better." Sahut Bunda, still complete with innuendo.
Desi who was eating while looking down silently stamped a smile. He recalled the expression when Madam Rara read Alfian's message. The woman looked so upset by PAP Alfian's request. So it is natural that now Alfian continues to be insinuated by the Mother.
"Sorry Mother. Next time I won't interrupt both of you." Alfian said, finally admitted wrong and apologized. For the sake of the health of his ears, it is better to quickly apologize. If not, the innuendo for satire will continue to be spoken like a mantra.
"Good then." Madam Rara smiled happily. So did Desi. Yet he could not blatantly smile like Madam Rara. He knew the limits even though the employer treated him well.
🌸🌸🌸
Desi tidied the tableware after everyone finished enjoying lunch. Madam Rara chose to head towards the break room that Alfian had inside the study.
"Satio." Call Alfian who is back sitting behind his desk.
"I'm Mr."
"Are you afraid of heights?"
"No sir."
"good. Come here." Come here."
Desi stepped towards Alfian's workbench slowly.
"You can see the scenery from here if you get bored waiting for Mommy to rest." Alfian's hands pointed with open palms to the empty area at his side and behind him, right near the glass wall, his favorite spot.
Desi wanted to refuse, but he did not dare. He followed Alfian's advice.
"Excuse me, sir." He said as he passed by the Young Master.
Desi walked until approaching the wall. His smile expanded when he saw the scene behind the glass. Below, right adjacent to the street, is a vast green open space. Different types of trees grow well. Even Desi can see the artificial lake located in the middle of the artificial forest.
"You likey?"
I don't know since when Alfian has been standing behind Desi.
"Yes Sir. It's very like." Desi replied while looking to the side looking at Alfian.
"This is my favorite place." Said Alfian staring into the green area. "But I don't mind sharing with you."
Desi looked at Alfian with a frown. If someone is willing to tell what his likes or dislikes are, it means that he considers the person no longer a stranger.
Desi turned her eyes back to the green open space. And he kept dictating his thoughts so as not to assume the strange.
Hey heart! Don't be a baper.
