Just A Wedding

chapter 13

There were thirty-seven calls and fifteen incoming messages from the Ravi mas that I deliberately did not open and was lazy to read. The last time I opened the Wastapp message from Ravi mas, invited me to meet after work I did not reply. I tried to run away from Ravi, especially after we met in the hospital five days ago. My problem with Henry is growing. I can't concentrate on work. Nominal typing - nominal numbers alone are wrong. Henry who never reprimanded me in the work slightly raised the intonation of his voice when he told me there were parts that were wrong. In the office, Henry remained professional as a store and warehouse owner and I as his employee. After the incident in the hospital, we like to keep our distance even if joking is not like before there is a clumsy feeling between us.

I re-typed my wrong job.

" Mr Arin.

" Yes Dit.

" Sorry Mom, if I'm presumptuous. Is it true that Arin has no candidate ?" dita's question stopped me by arriving.

I turned my eyes towards Dita. I tried to smile even bitterly.

" Yes Dit. The guy's still cool at home watching football while eating instant noodles, so he's not out of the house yet" I tried to give a real answer for myself.

This answer is what I always tell myself when I ask when I am met with my soul mate.

Dita laughed at my answer.

" I'm serious mbak . There's a friend of mine I'm looking for a wife, mbak,"

I smiled and continued my work.

" If Arin wants me to introduce. His age is already old. Forty-eight years of her status as a widower of two children. I guarantee the person is good, he does not want to date directly ask for marriage"

" Why not just with you Dit ? I asked Dita.

" La mas Rian wants to be accompanied by mbak," Dita replied raising his voice.

" It's just acquaintances, right ? ask me again to Dita.

" It's not just an advanced acquaintance and it's not up to Arin and him,"

I didn't really care what Dita said, the man was too old in my opinion. Our age range is sixteen years.

....................

The opening ceremony of Henry's new store in the next town will be done today, the plan is the three of us. Me, Henry and Dita will be the same - the same departing. Because it's coming home from there at night until the store closes at nine. I leave Jhoji after school to my sister.

Some days Henry is very busy pacing back and forth preparing his new shop. After the purchase of shophouses in the city center Henry himself who supplies goods, arrange the interior and shelves - shelves where ATK. I have never been there myself. I heard from Dita who twice went with Henry there. There are three floors in the shophouse the first floor for ATK and the second floor for writing tables, rotating chairs, vaults and others. As for the third floor is used for Henry's resting place and warehouse.The concept is not too different from the master shop at our workplace.

" I don't want to fantasize," I answered briefly by throwing a glance out the windshield of the car.

Had I not agreed yesterday to come, I would have been at home with Jhoji. Had it been Rian, Dita's boyfriend didn't have a motorcycle accident. Dita cried maraung - roared like a child, so Henry gave her permission not to come. Right around noon, just as we were about to leave. If Dita was coming, maybe I'm not alone in this car. When I was about to sit in the back seat, Henry casually said that he was not the driver but my master.

" S2 study appointment I finished quickly and cumlaude,"

if it's a matter of study, I won't doubt Henry. At the age of twenty years have graduated S1. SMP and High School he finished with acceleration class. After graduating from college he wanted to focus on working to develop a family business. Evidently with the effort he was holding now he was able to open two new branches and now the third branch he had started. In the field of business development we are not only into ATK tools he has developed into printing as well.

Actually, Henry's parents, Mr. Merry and Mr. Winata also have another business, namely a special food outlet for the by and home industry at his home.

Henry's parents expected Henry to be a lecturer like his two older brothers. Doctor Dandy is a doctor and also a lecturer at a state university in our city and takes care of the food outlet business with his parents. While Dion in addition to taking care of his car showroom he was also a lecturer at a well-known private university. Only Henry has not studied S2 and does not want to be an office. " I'm lazy to be tied to work time and be ruled by people" as soon as he dodges. One lack of three brothers, not married.

" Why did I promise ? Should you promise Merry ?" I asked Henry again.

" Mr Arin is my girlfriend, "he replied calmly as he turned a glance at me and then looked back to the front.

" Friend ? Since when ?" many wonder.

" Since our first kiss in the hospital,"

Henry smiled widely as if he did not feel burdened by the incident. While I was wrong with his words.

" Oh the hospital, a. I've forgotten that little kiss"

"A trivial kiss ? henry's shocked face was clearly visible until the wrinkle - the wrinkle on his forehead was drawn.

I was a little ejected from my seat because Henry stopped the car abruptly. Hard Henry hit the steering wheel of the car then drove forward violently. Didn't listen to my request to lower the speed of his car. There was no conversation between us, even when we got to Henry's new shop.

Henry's store opening ceremony went well. We opened the store after the magrib said Henry this is the right time people have returned from the office and school children are also free. After the store closed at nine o'clock the night continued to eat tumpeng along with new employees and also old employees to oversee the running of Henry's new store. The dinner on the third floor is also over. The officers have come home with just me, Henry. Mr. Sapto and Mr. Edy guard the shop at the guard post.

" Let's go home it's almost twelve o'clock in the night" I approached Henry who was still playing his cell phone.

" Home ? ........Go home mbak. Our problem is not finished. There's still so much we have to do and do here" Henry's composure made me nervous. His hand that still holds HP and the look of the eyes that still remain focused on the HP screen makes me a little kepo what he sees. After seeing what Henry saw. I slightly moved away from him and sat on the chair trembling.
