Love Because Love
HOUSE MOVING PARTY (1)
Dave bounces the volleyball in his hand while walking towards the corner of the field to serve (service is a language term used at the time of the first blow). Once the whistle is blown Dave immediately makes a jump serve movement, (Jump serve is a service by throwing the ball accompanied by a lopatan and a hard blow), (Jump serve is a serve with a ball accompanied by a lopatan and a hard blow), making the audience, especially the female audience, scream hysterically because of Dave's movements that look so awesome to those who see him, let alone supported by his handsome face, athletic stature, athletic body, typical body characteristics of a man who diligently exercise and height reaches almost 190 cm.
And as is usually the case during their training process, today with the presence of Dave and Laurel, their volleyball team in the second half this makes the opposing team not struggling at all, the team from Nugrah Indonesia hospital won by a landslide.
"Prittttt..," The long blown whistle signaled the volley was over, making Nia immediately run to hug Laurel because they managed to win the game by a landslide in this second half. Because the expression of happiness managed to win the game they did each other tos with both of their hands, including Dave and Laurel, the, but once they both realized they had just done a tos they instantly turned their eyes to each other to cover their awkwardness, because actually since the incident that afternoon when Laurel's stomach acid relapsed in the hospital they've never talked to each other.
From that day every time Laurel saw Dave from afar, she would immediately rush around to find another way to avoid meeting Dave. They only met when the apple morning or afternoon shift change with doctors and other employees, and Laurel was trying to take the position of standing farthest from Dave's position. Dave does not know that Laurel deliberately avoids him, but he chooses to be quiet because he does not want to re-impose his will like 7 years ago will actually push Laurel away from his side again.
"Boss, Laurel! You're both great" Nia wrapped her right arm around Laurel's shoulder. Dave who stood before them smiled looking at Nia who was so cheerful because their team had already won the final match that afternoon.
From the other direction looks Roy, Feri and Arnold walked from the direction of the basketball court to the volleyball court, while the figure of Leo and Hana seemed to walk from the direction of social service post. Leo was just about to give a bottle of mineral water to Dave, but Hana's hand movements were faster so that Dave could only accept a bottle of mineral water from Hana without being able to resist it, because if he rejected her he would humiliate Hana in front of the other friends. Seeing that Leo walked towards Laurel, then thrust the bottle of drink she was holding onto Laurel.
"By the two with Nia," Laurel immediately laughed as she gave a thumbs up her right hand hearing Leo's request, while Dave immediately glanced at Laurel's laughing face showing the charm of dimples on her cheeks.
"Although in the basketball race we only become champion 3, it's pretty good, at least our training is not in vain, and the prize we can use for a vacation together," Hearing the words Feri, he said, Luciana directly patted Feri on the shoulder with her right hand.
"That's your team the men, our basketball team is still the best," Laurel and the others immediately laughed at the words of Luciana who indeed managed to bring her women's basketball team to become champion 1.
"Other times the men's basketball team needs to learn a lot from us great women," Feri immediately snapped at Luciana hearing her speech in a snobbish tone, making Lusiana directly move towards Feri and trying to hit him, so that makes Feri directly bend with both hands in front of his chest to protect himself.
"Hey, you guys are already like dogs and cats," Nia immediately grabbed onto Luciana's arm to stop her actions on Feri who immediately laughed chuckling.
"The men are really scary, really Laurel," unexpectedly, Lusiana immediately embraced Laurel in a style like a frightened person, making Laurel actually stroked the head of Luciana like a mother who got a report from her son that there had just been a friend who bullied her, making Feri laugh more and more.
"Ok Lus, just report it to Laurel's mom, let her get back at me. If Laurel hits me, I'm happy to give up my body, let her beat me to satisfaction, let's just say I get a free massage from her, "Hear Feri's words, let's just say, Arnold immediately wrapped his arm around Feri's neck and strangled him even though not with all his energy, just pretending, making Feri laugh again.
Hearing the jokes from his fellow colleagues Laurel can only smile knots, glimpsed glance at Dave's face that looks tense and seemed to deliberately shift his gaze elsewhere, he said, it was as if not hearing what they had just fussed about.

Denia and Freya assisted Bi Umi and Rita seemed busy arranging a variety of dishes and wet snacks on the table placed in the back garden of the house to be occupied by Laurel again. At Laurel's request some time ago, Laurel enlists the help of Denia and Freya to help her set up a simple party in the back garden because Laurel doesn't want her show to be too official, he wanted a relaxed atmosphere for his party that night.
"Sister, why wear clothes and dress like that?" Laurel pursed her lips as well as scrunched her forehead.
"Is there something wrong with my makeup?" Hearing Laurel's question instead of answering it, Freya folded her arms forward while observing Laurel from top to bottom who was wearing a collared shirt and blue jeans. Freya observed her brother's appearance while sneaking her lips, then made her lips rise to the top with a dissatisfied look at the host's appearance today.
"Ckckckckc.., this brother should be the host dressed up more gracefully and beautifully, here, let me do it," Freya shook her head and immediately pulled Laurel's hand, take her back to her room. After arriving at the dresser, Freya immediately forced Laurel to sit in front of the dressing table, and began to fix Laurel's makeup.
Freya in addition to having cooking skills also has the ability to apply makeup, too, even many of her friends often call her in person to put their makeup on if they are about to attend a party or they themselves host a party. Unlike Laurel who is used to dressing carelessly because it is less able, fortunately her beautiful face does not require makeup to make it beautiful.
"Freya, why the hell do you have to dress excessively? Is this just a meal together for the thanksgiving of moving house?"
"Hust...Brother just shut up, please keep your eyes closed, just a moment to finish. Anyway tonight the host should look the most beautiful among the other invited guests. Even though brother is basically beautiful, but with a touch of my make up, I'm sure all of my friends will be flabbergasted, especially the big brother boss," With eyes still closed, Laurel scrunched her forehead, and she was very happy, it was astonished Freya mentioned about Dave.
"What happened to boss brother? Do you know him?" Freya briefly stopped her hand movements, like someone who had just been caught making a mistake, but Freya quickly moved her hand back.
"Ehmm, no, sister used to tell me about boss brother is a very handsome single boy. Is there no desire to approach him?" Laurel laughed at Freya.
"No! You don't know how scary the look in his eyes and the face without his smile is. Handsome is handsome, looks stupid even, but he never be friendly to big brother, like this big brother is his big enemy. After all, a man as good as him, where would he be with a widow?" Freya laughed at Laurel's question.
"If she wants to mean sister is ok too?" Laurel laughs amusedly seeing Freya who is so determined to match him with Dave, even though Freya only heard about Dave from what Laurel had told her.
"Even if he wanted to, his wealthy family would not necessarily be able to accept a widowed brother as his son-in-law," Freya smiled at Laurel's low-key words.
"Son is not an ordinary widow, sister is a virgin, how can you say widow?" Hearing Freya's words, Laurel instantly fell silent for quite some time.
"What can be proud of that? Isn't that just a reminder of how rude I was to my late husband? Leaving her on our wedding day, even at her death and burial I was not by her side," Laurel took a deep breath, for some reason lately the guilt haunts her so often, it may be true, people say, sometimes we are so late to realize the goodness of someone when that person is no longer in this world.
