Look at me, Delilah

Cannot Pay

"You order, let me pay" said Delilah.

"You're always as usual, Del." Chika.

"You know for yourself who Delilah is. This restaurant he could've bought."

Chika laughs. "You're right, Wildan."

"You don't worry, Del. There are many other men waiting for you" Wildan said.

"Why don't you just go back to Juno?" Chika gave advice.

"I don't want to be in a relationship with any man. I want to be alone."

"You're still expecting Nayaka. Now he's very rich. You've been dumped, Del."

Delilah was slightly offended by Chika's remark. "Eh, I threw away Nayaka myself."

"Yes, yes, you threw it away." Chika fades away from him having to make Delilah angry.

Soon some of Delilah's other friends also came. Delilah purposely invited them to a dinner together. Unbeknownst to them, Delilah has been evicted from her family.

All his friends still consider Delilah the same as before. Rich, kind, and likes to please friends. Money is not a problem for this woman. Being with Delilah is a lucky thing.

"You order the food" said Delilah. Yeah, at least hanging out with friends, doesn't make him feel lonely.

"Come, let's order. I want a lobster menu, huh. It's my favorite food." Chika chose an expensive menu.

Some of Delilah's friends also ordered. This five-star restaurant provides a menu that can make customers' pockets collapse. For meat steak alone can reach the price of 1 million rupiah.

"You guys finished eating?" ask Delilah.

"Where else are we going?" Chika.

"Night club, yuk! It's been a long time since I've had a drink together" Wildan asked.

"Can, deh. I think I need a little quiet, too." Delilah's breeding because of Wildan's idea, not bad. Drinking and listening to music may calm the mind.

"You pay for the food first" Chika said.

Delilah called the waiter, he took out a credit card to pay for all the food he had ordered, as well as his friend.

The waiter came with a bill and a card swipe machine. Then, start doing his job.

"This card was rejected, Miss."

Delilah's forehead wrinkled. "declined? You sure, try it again."

The woman in the black uniform began to change the look on her face. Delilah looked upset that there was no way her money would run out.

"The word was rejected."

Delilah clucked, then handed him another card. "Try this Master's card."

Wildan, Chika and the other four friends of Delilah, began to look at him. No way, right, those cards were just rejected.

"It can't be. You can pay in cash, Miss."

"Don't tell me your card crossed the limit, Del."

"I pay by debit." Delilah ruffled the bag in search of the debit card. "Snap this card."

The waiter swiped the card back. "Still less than three million rupiahs. The bill is worth seven million rupiah."

Delilah opened her wallet. The remaining money is only 500 thousand rupiah, and still less than the amount charged.

"It looks like I should go home. Better just postpone our visit to the nightclub." Chika got up from her seat.

"Yes, I have business too." Wildan followed.

Then, accompanied by another friend of Delilah. Everyone abandoned. The waiter of the restaurant looked sharply at Delilah who could not pay.

"You think I can't pay? I'll call my brother here."

Panic began to hit. All my life, this just happened. A Delilah, can't pay the food bill at the restaurant. It's so embarrassing.

One by one on the phone. From Reyhan, Anna, Kiano, the twins, even Andy, Delilah, ask for help. Don't help, even the number can't be reached.

"Damn!" Delilah clicked her tongue. "It must be Reyhan's job to have them block my number."

In such a precarious situation, Delilah could only think of one person, and he immediately called.

"I'm stuck in Akina's restaurant. You come here quickly."

A little relieved because the figure on the phone was responding to his call. Delilah just waited for the man to come, then he could get out of this restaurant. Really a fucking day.

Thirty minutes passed, people awaited to come as well. Delilah did not dare to say a word when Nayaka looked at her.

"What happened to her?" Nayaka asked the restaurant manager.

"This lady can't pay for the food ordered, sir."

Nayaka glanced at her ex-lover while handing over her debit card. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience."

"It's okay, sir." The man in charge seemed friendly, whereas earlier, when he saw Delilah, the man seemed to want to abuse her.

Nayaka took her card back, then walked out with Delilah following her. Nothing was there to talk until in the end, Nayaka couldn't stand it anymore.

"I don't know you any more."

"Count-counting you're replying to me. I always paid for your food. Now it's your turn" said Delilah.

"I told you to come home to persuade Kyomi, right?"

"Kyomi herself doesn't want me."

"At least you persuaded him."

"Stop, Brother!" delilah. "I'm tired of you talking about Kyomi. You don't know my troubles now. Because you canceled the wedding, I was kicked out by Reyhan's sister. Now I don't have any money. Everything's over."

"So, are you in financial trouble now?" Nayaka chuckles. "Where is Delilah the great and rich pretender? You can't even afford the dining bill at the restaurant."

"You're acting arrogant after you're rich."

"You're misunderstanding. I'm just surprised that this woman who's always been proud of herself, now has no meaning in my eyes."

"You think I'm gonna die without any money?" Delilah was getting angry.

Nayaka shakes. "I thought I could fix our relationship. You still look like this."

Delilah folded her hands on her stomach. "Back to me?" Delilah laughs. "Kneel down if you want to."

"No, Del. That's never gonna happen again. I will never kneel before you." Nayaka looked at him. "I'm going to marry a woman who can take care of Kyomi and act like an adult."

"Married a babysister." Delilah simply said that.

Nayaka nodded. "We're moving to Dubai in a week. Before that, you'll see I'm married."

Delilah smiled. "I'll come if you invite me."

"As my childhood friend, my first love, you'll get a special invitation."

"We'll see if you can love that woman but me." Delilah is a challenge. Nayaka would never forget himself. Surely the man's words were just a joke to hurt him.

"Love just makes me feel sick. I don't need that. I just need a companion who understands me and takes care of Kyomi."

After saying that, Nayaka got into the car. While Delilah only saw the departure of her former lover.

"He can't possibly marry another woman, right?" suddenly Delilah was referring to one name. "Nayaka couldn't have married that chameleon woman."
