TING TONG'S
Rocky's apartment bell rings. Rocky who was sitting on the sofa while watching TV did not touch the bell.
TING TONG'S
The bell rings. Rocky glanced at the wall clock. Nine o'clock at night.
TING TONG'S
Stunned, Rocky got off the couch and headed for the door.
"Who the hell came here at this hour?" Rutuk Rocky's.
"Who?" Rocky asked over a loudspeaker.
"It's me, Rocky!"
"Sister Galang?" Rocky frowned.
Rocky opens the door and sees his brother standing in front of his apartment room. Rocky, who only wore a T-shirt and boxer pants, made Galang chuckle at his sister's apprehensive condition.
"Do you want to come here?"
"I brought this!" Galang shows fried chicken wrap from Rocky's favorite fast food restaurant, Wac'D.
"Well! Wac'D fried chicken!" Rocky's eyes sparkled and snatched the package in Galang's hands.
Rocky sat back down on the couch and picked up a piece of fried chicken.
"Why not come home for dinner?" Ask Galang while sitting next to Rocky.
"I'm lazy to meet Papa. He's already made my day worse."
"Did you really kick Mama out when she came here?"
"Yes. I don't want to be disturbed."
"Yes already. Don't be mad at Papa. What Papa did was for your own good. The 13th floor was empty for a long time. The Brahms Corp warehouse has long since been moved to a new building."
"Eh? Did ya? Why did I just find out?"
"Don't feel discouraged. Make this an advantage, so you don't have to rent a building and pay every year. Don't you?"
"Mmm, that's right, brother. Why did Papa build a 13-story building anyway? 13 Is not an unlucky number. And now I have to occupy that 13th floor."
"It's just superstition, Rocky. If you believe that the number 13 is unlucky, then you will really be hit by shit. So you better not believe such things."
"Is Mama okay? I feel guilty for her."
"Mama's fine. You better apologize to him. He's just worried about you, so he came here."
"If I think about it, my misadventures today begin because I have shed the curd."
"Eh? Whatchu mean?"
"So, just now I was about to get in the elevator, suddenly a girl came out of the elevator with a trolley full of boxes, and she hit me. The food he brought fell down and hit my shirt. I really fucking shit!"
"Food-carrying girl?" Galang Mumbles.
Is that Navisha? Inner Galang.
"Just look if I see him again! My bad luck today, must be because I met him."
Galang did not comment on Rocky's words that continued to nag about the food-carrying girl. She believes Rocky must have met Navisha.
Tomorrow I'll confirm to the Empress. What's true about the incident that happened to Rocky today is true with Navisha.
...***...
The next day, Navisha is busy in the kitchen with Ms. Karina and some employees. Inner Navisha is still not calm considering that she will send food every day to the Brahms Corp building.
There was a sense of suspicion he had about Ms. Karina. But he did not want to prejudge the person he considered to be his mother. It is impossible for a mother to plunge her child into a steep valley. Navisha kept a sweet smile in front of Karina's mother.
"Sir, have you been looking for a school for Ali?" Ask Karina's mother.
"Find the near here only. So make it easy to pick her up. Or you ask Son just to dig it."
"Not do it, Mom. I don't want to trouble Mas Galang about this. He's been busy working."
"Yes already. It's up to you. Oya, from today you have to deliver food early, Nduk."
"Yes, Mom." Answer Visha while tidying up the lunch box shaped like a bowl.
I wanted to ask for the silence in his heart. But he always paused for fear of offending Mother Karina.
...***...
Rocky takes the elevator to the 13th floor of Brahms Corp.
"Don, have all the employees told you? If we move here today."
"Already, boss. They've even reached the top."
"Eh? Did ya? They're so excited."
TING'S. The elevator rang and the door opened. Rocky walks into his new office. He saw some of his employees were cleaning things from their old office.
"So it's true that this place has been empty for a long time?"
"Yes, Boss. This floor is no longer a warehouse."
"Where am I in the room, Don?"
"here, Boss. The plan is, I'm gonna make a patch of room look like a boss room." Donny pointed to the corner of the room that was close to the window.
"okay! You continue to clean it up. I'll see Papa first."
"Ready, Boss."
...***...
At 10:30 a.m., Visha arrived at Brahms Corp. He went to the 11th floor to meet the Maharani. He asked the Maharani about yesterday's collision incident.
"You take it easy, Mr. Rocky is not angry. He likes to explode like that. But he's actually good."
"Ah, so is it. Again, I'm sorry, ma'am. I'm not good with Ma'am Maharani."
"It's all right, Miss Visha."
"Then, excuse me, ma'am. I have to deliver another order."
Visha returns to the elevator and heads to the first floor. He wanted to take a look at the Brahms Store that was there.
Visha got out of the elevator and saw some cosmetic brands neatly arranged in the storefront. Brahms Corp is a company engaged in fashion and beauty, and markets flagship products such as clothing and cosmetics brands.
Visha walks down the cosmetic display. Visha rarely dresses. Because of his busy daily life in the kitchen, there is no way he could have time to wear make-up. At least a little lipstick for her lips to not look pale.
Visha skin color also tends to be brown, but sweet to look at. His long hair was always tied back and rarely he stalls.
Meanwhile, Rocky, who was bored on the 13th floor, decided to descend to the first floor store.
"I'd like to take a look at Brahms Corp's latest perfume collection." Rocky muttered.
He was looking for a fragrance product storefront. While walking towards the window in question, Rocky's steps came to a halt.
"I-that's right? The girl from yesterday? What's he gonna do here?" Rocky sees Visha's figure and points at her, but then he settles into hiding behind one of the storefronts. Looks like Rocky's afraid to meet Visha. Afraid of getting shit again, he said.
"From meeting him, I got unlucky. And now I meet him again. What's he doing here?" Rocky glanced at his watch. "Ah, it's almost lunch time. He must've brought some more food here."
Rocky observes Visha's movements that are choosing a lip moisturizer.
Rocky grunts to see Visha. Then he thought of something.
"Wait on! Since when does this company use catering services for lunch employees? Who proposed this idea? I have to find out." Rocky muttered.
Rocky pulls out his cell phone from his pocket and calls someone.
