Love for Time

Chapter 14 - Laptop For Cheryl

A box was on the library table, near a pile of papers on Dimitri's study table in his room. There was a white envelope stuck on top of the box.

"Special for my girl, Cheryl. More diligent studying yes. Can't wait to see you on top."

(Special for my girl, Cheryl. Can't wait to see you're at the top.)

No, that's not Cheryl's concern. But the name of the sender is on the right corner of the envelope. "With love, Dimitri."

The sweet girl stared at the thing and Dimitri alternated with a frown. Is it because this box Dimitri told him to stop by the room? This morning Cheryl asked Dimitri for permission to borrow Dimitri's laptop. Instead of lending, Dimitri asked Cheryl to his room this afternoon. He said there was a surprise for Cheryl.

Dimitri is in serious mode working on his thesis with his laptop. He was unaware of Cheryl who had come and the girl now looked at him with a questioning look. Dimitri's mind was too focused on the observations and diagrams of the results of the research on his laptop screen.

Every now and then, Dimitri stopped typing, read for a moment and grabbed a glass not far from him. His eyes kept watching the screen while gulping down his drink.

Dimitri who was diligent, looking handsome, made Cheryl's heart rippled again. Feelings of like and pounding - the thump that is often pushed aside again appears.

"Ehm... " Cheryl cleared her throat to attract Dimitri's attention.

It worked!

Dimitri turned his head, and he stood up and greeted Cheryl. "Have you come?"

"It's only been five minutes." Cheryl replied grimacingly.

"Huh? How did I not know you had come?" muttered Dimitri, astonished at himself.

Cheryl laughed, she walked towards the bench near Dimitri's study desk and looked at the monitor screen. "Have you reached the observation? Soon the conclusion dong?" ask Cheryl.

Ughhhh!

It felt like just yesterday Cheryl knew Dimitri, but soon the young man will graduate. Cheryl's first semester of school, was Dimitri's seventh semester.

"Hm-hm." Dimitri nodded.

"Oh." Cheryl said.

"Why?" Dimitri felt there was sadness implied in Cheryl's tone of voice.

"Nope. It's okay, sister." she replied while trying to smile, when they separated just a few months away. That's if Keysia doesn't come first. For whatever sake, Cheryl wants to stop time. He can't imagine days without Dimitry.

Dimitri turned his chair to Cheryl, and looked at her with narrowed eyes.

"What's up?" tanyakanya.

"Nothing." Cheryl said.

Again he had to hide his feelings, not wanting Dimitri to know how sad it would be if they separated. Risk of having ash-ash status.

Unable to bear Dimitri's probing gaze, Cheryl stood up and walked around Dimitri's room. This is the second time he has been there. The first was when Dimitri was sick. It turned out that there were photos of Dimitri as a child, hanging on the wall of the room by the window.

"That's cute... " Cheryl unknowingly praised Dimitri. She liked Dimitri's little, slightly chubby face, white-skinned and thick-browed.

Dimitri laughing. "You didn't come here to look at the photos and praise me, did you?"

O'iya...

Cheryl's cheeks blur when she realizes that Dimitri heard her words earlier. He had forgotten that his main purpose in coming here was to borrow a laptop.

Bang Satrio introduced it to some students who are studying strata two on their campus and are in need of translators from English to Indonesian.

Cheryl accepts it not only because of lucrative wages and flexible working hours, but also because she loves to read. But the problem is Cheryl does not have a laptop to type the translation results. The phone he owns is also just a standard phone that is less able to support his activities. Inevitably he once again had to trouble Dimitri.

Dimitri gave a smile, knowing that Cheryl would not dare to continue his intention to borrow a laptop because she saw him working on the thesis using it.

Dimitri picked up the box he had prepared for Cheryl. "Look at this." said Dimitri cheerfully, while thrusting the box to Cheryl.

"What's that?" Cheryl tilted her head, and saw the box that had made her curious.

Dimitri laughed softly. "Open yourself dong, not a surprise if I tell you."

Cheryl sighed, she always felt sad whenever Dimitri gave her this let alone they were the same - the same lecture, the same - still a student and still working partime anyway.

"Come, open the spout!" Dimitri Urge.

Cheryl accepts it, shakes slowly and tries to guess the contents. Somewhat heavy, but noiseless when shaken.

"I don't want to take it if it's expensive." Grumpy Cheryl. His feeling said that the contents are not cans. He really did not dare to open it.

"CK! But it's useful for your future." said Dimitri slowly. He knew that Cheryl wouldn't be that easy to accept.

"What's it say?"

(Please appreciate me!)

Cheryl glanced at Dimitri then looked back at the box on her lap. "alright. But if it's just useless stuff and throw away money, I'm not gonna."

"When useful how?"

"Hmmm... " Cherry seemed to think.

"If it is useful, you must promise to accept it. No complaints - complaints! How's it?" ask Dimitri again.

Cheryl didn't want to promise anything, she shrugged and opened the box.

Unlike other girls who will scream happily when they get an expensive gift, Cheryl was even pensive to see the contents of the box Dimitri gave her.

A laptop that has quite luxurious specifications and can run several design applications very smoothly. From the specifications he read, the laptop battery can last up to twelve hours, the screen is also HD and more amazing is the touchscreen screen. Even Dimitri's laptop still uses a regular mouse. What a gift.

"This is new, isn't it?" ask Cheryl doesn't believe it. His hand held a warranty card tucked under the laptop.

"Yes." Yeah." Dimitri gave a thumbs up.

"That's great, Brother... "

"Because to support your work later. You can also learn the same design Bang Satrio, who knows useful for your future."

"But it's expensive?"

"As long as it's worth it with its usefulness, why not?" Dimtri shrugged his shoulders.

"Where's the money?"

Nah!

The question that Dimitri wanted to hear the most finally came up. The young man was silent for a moment, weighing.

Phew!

Alright...

"From my savings."

"Huh? Finished savings brother dong?"

Dimitri shook his head, so much so that he convinced Cheryl to take a gift from him.

"No! I don't want to." Cheryl refuses Dimitri's gift, she puts it back on the table.

How could Cheryl have received such an expensive item, while she knew that Dimitri's life was borne by the Livia family. What they said later, could - Dimitri considered not knowing himself.

Dimitri grunts. "Just use it, I want to give you something useful and you can remember it forever" Dimitri said half forcefully.

"Sorry, Brother Dimi. I'm a skew.... "

"You knew? Where's this money coming from?"

"Where?"

"I sold one of my already-ranked gaming accounts at a high price to other overseas gamers."

"Huh?" Cheryl stunned.

He knows Dimitri's hobby and is very good at online games. Several times the young man told me that he had stayed up late to get a rank. Cheryl is not very familiar with online games, but who would have thought the games she played could produce.

Dimitri nodded and smiled. "I also try to create a you tube account and will participate in online gaming competitions. Let's go to the top together, honey."

Cheryl's eyes were glazed over, she didn't know how to repay Dimitri's kindness, who kept trying to support her.

Connect yes....
