"Honey, we moved to Ex***so yes. Continue the meeting there. To be more free" Ran called Lily who was at the Farmers Market to buy fruit and some ingredients to make a salad.
"Yes, Brother. Lily's buying something at the farmers market. Is Ka Ran going to buy you something?"
"Mmmh.maybe Plum fruit, Ly. I haven't eaten that fruit in a long time"
"Good, Brother. Lily bought it later, yes" Lily put her phone in the bag.
The atmosphere of the supermarket is not so crowded. Maybe because it's Monday and it's still noon. Most people shop on weekends during the work holidays or afternoons after work. He and Wini resumed their conversation during shopping.
Meanwhile at the cafe Ex***so, Rico sat opposite Jamie. Ran is going to the toilet.
"I'm sorry for what happened at school, Co" Jamie begins the conversation. Rico put down his phone that he had seen earlier.
"okay, Jamie. It's a past event. We are also teenagers, not yet able to think clearly. I forgive you" Rico said.
"Thank you, Co" said Jamie.
"So you know, I never took Anita that time. Not even know me very well" continued Rico again.
"Yes, I finally know. I'm the one who misunderstood" Jamie looks sorry and embarrassed.
"We forgive each other, yes. From now on forget about it" Rico greeted Jamie.
"On Wini. We were married because we were married. We don't like each other. Not loving each other" Jamie said slowly.
"I already know" said Rico
"Daaan.we never sleep in one bed together. I've never touched her at all" Jamie's voice was still softly spoken.
Rico sighed. He never thought about it. He likes Wini, he does find out about Wini. But not trying to know about the private life of his household while with Jamie.
"I almost never came home. Except when our parents came" Jamie continued.
"May you and Wini be happy, Co. He deserves happiness. After two years with me he suffered a lot. I hit him a few times while drunk. But I regret what I did. I know, I'm so guilty of Wini" Jamie lowered his head.
Rico sighed again. He could not imagine what Jamie said. How Wini was beaten when Jamie was drunk. If it wasn't for Jamie apologizing earlier, it felt like he wanted to beat Jamie up for Wini.
Why do good women like Wini and Lily have to meet selfless and abusive men in the past? Do these men have no heart? The question popped into Rico's head.
The third time Rico sighed. He looked at Jamie.
"It looks like Wini has forgiven you too. She's made peace with her painful past with you"
"I don't think I have the right to repay your actions to Wini. Even though I was angry when I found out. Because it happened while you were legal as husband and wife, and I was nobody back then"
"Right now and then, I'll take care of him. I won't let anyone bother and hurt him again" Rico said.
Jamie nodded.
"Yes already. From now on we forget all the bitter events of the past" Rico said.
"Thank you, Co" Jamie let out a sigh of relief.
"Sama-sama" said Rico.
From a distance, Rico saw Ran already walking towards the cafe where they were sitting. He saw many women looking at Ran. But Ran never cared about the women's admiration for him. He never felt that he could attract the hearts of many women. Especially now that there was Lily, in her eyes it seemed like only Lily, Lily and Lily.
"It looks like you guys are talking very exciting" Ran said as he arrived at the table.
Rico and Jamie laughed. There was no awkwardness between the two of them. Ran was very happy to see it.
"Just remember the school days. The problem, the juvenile delinquency" Rico replied.
The three of them laughed. Then start the meeting again. The atmosphere is warm. Not like we met at the beginning.
"On your desire to rent space in my hotel. There are still two rooms with displays facing the outside of the hotel. Now I send the layout of the room via email to you" Rico sent the room layout of Ferien's hotel to Ran's email.
"You learn first. But you should just come to the hotel, so you can have an idea for your outlet design later"
"Saturday tomorrow, the opening ceremony of the Ferien hotel. Come with Lily. If your Mom and Dad are willing to attend, take it with you. I also invited Lily's father. Today the invitation will be sent by my secretary" Rico took a sip of his cappuccino. Suddenly he had an idea in his head. But he kept the idea first. He doesn't want to rush. He will have to wait until the opening ceremony of the Ferien hotel is over.
"Oh yeah, you came too, Jam. I'll send you the invitation. Can I have your email address?" Rico said to Jamie.
"Okay, let me try to come, Co. Thanks for the invitation"
Jamie had not expected Rico to invite him at the event. Then he mentioned his email address which Rico immediately recorded and sent to his secretary as a list of recipients of the inauguration event later.
"People are also coming later" Rico said.
"Good, we gather there all weekend vacation" said Ran on the sidelines of studying the layout of the room that was sent Rico.
Although Jamie is not on duty for the Bandung area but occasionally Ran asks Jamie for an opinion. Jamie is one of his best employees. Even Ran has plans to provide an even better position for Jamie, if in one year Jamie provides satisfactory work results.
The three of them had a very interesting discussion. Until it is realized that Lily and Wini have arrived.
"Have you finished buying?" ask Ran. She saw Lily's shopping bag that wasn't too big.
"It has. Just buy some fruit to make a salad"Jawab Lily.
"Why so long? I thought you guys bought up all the shop's contents" Rico's mutter was followed by all the laughter.
"Wini didn't even buy anything" Lily smiled shyly.
"I live alone. In the apartment the food is provided by the maid. There is nothing to buy" said Wini. Last night he had been staying at an apartment that Rico had provided. There's a maid there. All are fully available.
"I told you, you can buy anything you like. It doesn't have to be food either" Rico talks to Wini gently making Jamie unwell. All this time he never gave any money to Wini. He used to think Wini worked, must have money. After all, they were only forced to marry, so he had no obligation to support Wini.
"I really have nothing to buy, bang" whispered Wini embarrassed.
Rico shook his head.
"During it around the mall...only to buy fruit? You're all there" murmured Rico. Ran and Jamie laughed.
"We're just going for a walk while exchanging stories, bang" Lily spoke and sat down next to Ran.
"Rarely they can walk in the mall both. Just walking around makes them happy. Just look at their faces, very cheerful" said Ran with a smile.
Lily seems happy that Ran defended her. Rico shook his head again to see Ran defending Lily. Especially when Ran gives attention to Lily.
"Drink when thirsty. Or do I want to order it again?" Ran helps Lily hold the ice cappucino glass and thrusts it into Lily's lips.
Maybe later if he was married it would be like that too. Rico thought in a daydream while looking at Wini with a charming smile. Wini was wrong with his behavior.
"Ehemmm.so Friday night it looks like we came to your hotel, Co. Stay there until Sunday. Can you?" ran's words made Rico turn his gaze away from Wini. Lily asked Ran to stop Rico's behavior that had made Wini wrong.
"Oooh.iya. Later we prepare for you" replied Rico realized from his daydream.
Lily and Wini looked at each other with a smile. While Ran just shook his head looking at Rico's behavior. Jamie has to be wrong. The problem is that there is no partner. Finally he sipped a cup of coffee lattenya eliminate the taste of his guilt.
"Lily order a drink, brother. Ran Lily's sister's drink was spent" Lily stood up from her seat. Ran.
He invited Wini to order a drink at the cashier's table. Because it seems Ran, Rico and Jamie are still continuing to discuss work.
