Love, Let it Get Lost

Our favorite food

I'm still confused by Nicko's desire to ask me to book a place for his lunch. I sat down at my desk with my phone in my hand, looking around for the nearest resto I would reserve. Lots of expensive restaurants around here, but I was confused to choose his place.

Then I remembered about our childhood. Nicko and I used to love yellow fruited fish by serving it with hot rice that will add to his enjoyment. But I don't know if Nicko still likes that favorite menu or not.

I immediately searched on google with the keyword ‘ikan kuah yellow around me’ and came out some recommendation places that appeared on my phone screen. There is one restaurant closest to the office that serves the menu. The restaurant was not large but had a classy impression, suitable for a big boss who wanted to eat outside. I immediately contacted the receptionist of the restaurant.

“Good day” my greeting to the woman on my phone.

Then I immediately ordered a place to prepare at lunchtime on behalf of Mr. Ferdyan,the receptionist asked exactly what time and menu needed to be prepared so that when we arrived our boss did not have to wait long.

When I was communicating on my phone, I felt like someone was watching me out of nowhere, but I let it go and continued to work seriously.

The lunch hour finally arrived, I was waiting for Nicko who was still meeting guests in his room. Then not long Bima came to open the door and looked at Nicko's room.

“Pak Ferdy not finished?” Her question kept trying to peek at her Boss from outside the room.

“But” answer me briefly.

“You've reseved a place to eat?” Ask her, who like her already knows if this is Nicko's meal hour.

“Sudah”

“Where ?”

“Near here, his restaurant name ‘Goody fish Restaurant’ “ answer me calmly.

“Goody Fish?” Bima asked looking confused.

“Pak Ferdy says he wants to eat fish?” Ask her again.

“Indeed. He didn't say what to eat at all, and I haven't had time to ask. Mr. Ferdy is busy with the arrival of guest”

Bima still looked confused and frowned. He seemed to have doubts about my menu of choice. Then suddenly Nicko's door opened and a few people came out. I immediately stood up and gave a smile to them the people in suits who came out from there. Bima also stood firmly and helped open the door for these important people.

The sound of my office phone ringing on the table, I swiftly picked it up.

I haven't had time to say hello, Nicko has already spoken with his ketus.

“Ke my room now with Bima” then he closed his connection without giving me a chance to say any sentence.

A little upset I hung up the phone.

I tidied up some files that were strewn across the table, turned off my computer and took my workbook to get in.

“We are asked to enter”, I said to Bima who was still standing in front of me with still clumsy and I entered first into Nicko's room.

“Have you booked a place for me?” Nicko asked me, looking at me so coldly.

“Already Pak” answer me.

“Please excuse me Sir. Maybe Fawnia does not know with your restaurant subscription for lunch, and he also does not know with the menu of food you want to order Father, Father,so I advised Fawnia to re-reserve her restaurant now” I looked at Bima in confusion.

I don't remember Bima saying that. He hasn't told me which restaurant he meant for me to re-reserve.

“Try calling again Restaurant L’Avenue, has the place been prepared or not?” Bima asked with an eye gesture giving the code.

It turned out that Bima was trying to save me, she indirectly told me the name of Nicko's restaurant subscription and asked me to contact the restaurant as soon as possible.

“Oh yes for a moment I call first” said I pulled out the phone I tucked with my workbook.

“Which restaurant did you contact before his?” Nicko's question made me stare at him in silence.

I glanced at Bima for a moment, she looked a little anxious because maybe she was afraid if I would be at Nicko's carelessness on my first day at work.

“Goody Fish Restaurant” answered me nervously too.

Nicko looked at me stiffly, he recalled something, I could see it from his eye movements.

“I can cancel the reservation now Pak” said I quickly immediately contact the Goody Fish restaurant before Nicko commented.

“No need” answered her while getting up from her sitting, she put on her suit button and got out of her work desk.

“I was wanting to eat this lunch” fish further again while passing me and Bima just like that.

Bima looks confused but she immediately follows Nicko and opens the door for him. I was still silent with my phone, because Nicko and Bima had managed to confuse me, but I soon forgot about it and quickly walked out of the room and followed them who had walked so fast.

We go using the car driven by Bima. BMW cars are shiny black and look so luxurious.

For the first time ever again I sat in the back seat alone with Nicko in the car. There was nervousness and awkwardness but I tried to be as calm as possible and control my nervousness.

On the way I kept silent looking out the window to avoid eye contact with Nicko who was sitting next to me.

I daydreamed about my miserable life, remembering all the problems I still couldn't handle. I had to endure working like this for Kara, and I felt like I had no one else but her. I miss my old days when my parents were still around.

From childhood I was made queen of my parents. The house was so large and magnificent that there was only a small family in it, and more servants working there were compared to the contents of the family. I remember always being happy and having no problems bothering me. I always lived a good life, lived a decent life full of luxury, and I suddenly thought, If only my parents were still there, I wouldn't be like this.

I miss them.
