Love Me My Little Friend

Eps 13's

Welcome to read 🙏😍

On a clear morning, on the first day of work after taking his graduation leave, as usual before leaving for work, Karin stood in front of a mirror measuring 100x100 cm. Wearing a beige costume jacket bearing the TF. Electro Group with matching matching color trousers.

Long hair covers the shoulders, beautifully arranged with thin bangs hanging adds a feminine impression on the owner of the full name Karin Dhiyana Haikal Jolly. White oval face dusty nan swamp with cheerful facial water based on a thin moisturizer and natural powder coating.

Plain thin lips look natural with a faint lipstick polish, accompanying a sweet smile and widened. Satisfied with the clear eyes of his heart that is sincere in living the destiny of life. 'Beautiful', as usual, the final word was spoken on his sweet lips as the biggest motivation in living the days he lived.

Karin chose to work in this place since she began to befriend Hany a year ago, at the request of her best friend.

Actually, if Karin wills, he does not have to bother looking for his own job because his father and his grandparents can provide decent jobs for him. Or even if he wants, he does not need to work at all to finance his college because basically he was born from a well-to-do family.

But this beautiful girl prefers to keep working because she wants to live independently, or more to measure her own abilities. Moreover, the decision he took did not make Papa, Mama, Opa, Oma and also her brother object to his choice.

"As long as the choice does not deviate from the truth and does not disturb the lives of the people, then everything will be fine." such is the principle of the father Haikal and also his beloved Oma, Oma Hasnah Setiawan.

Plus Danang, a loyal friend and motivator for Karin, has worked there first, then by itself 'gayungpun welcome'.

••

At 07:00 am shoe changing area TF electronics company. Electro Group still looks quiet. Rows of locker cabinets such as drawer frames are increasingly silent as if to dampen the atmosphere. Two rows of long chairs lined up together gave the impression of desertion.

The distinctive aroma of anti-bacterial glass cleaning fluid derived from the hand spray of the cleaning service gives rise to the impression of its own 'therapy' for the sense of smell. Nimble hand cleaning service pulling glass wipers make glazed glass instantly.

"Good morning, Miss Karin." said one of the night shift cleaning service officers who happened to be passing by.

"Good morning too, sir.' Karin replied kindly and politely.

It seems that some employees there form their own groups, as if dissolving in their respective stories. Only occasionally did giggling laughter come out of their mouths, so faint. While Karin was busy putting something into her locker closet.

"Welcome back, dear Karin!" pekik Sheila is Karin's teammate from a distance. A smile adorned his oriental face.

"Good morning, nice to meet you, Sheila!" karin's reply cheerfully greeted Sheila's call.

"You know Karin, we have a very handsome special guest!"the thrill while prancing gleefully approached Karin.

"Oh, huh? What handsome is he? And then my friend Sheila fell in love, didn't she?" ledek Karin responds to the ridiculous hustle of her teammate.

"Ouch! Dear Karin, only a blind man doesn't respect a handsome man at first sight. She's perfect, like the famous novelist Rin." Sheila won't lose.

"Oh, huh? Then Sheila was wasting her time adoring that transparent character, right?" turn it again while twisting both eyes.

"Yee..! There are already Mas Danang, stupid as well as any handsome hander? rutuk Sheila.

Karin laughed crisply.

Meanwhile, from a distance, there are a pair of eyes that pay attention to the activities and movements of Karin and the crisp guyonan with his best friend so carefully. While the new Karin after preparing all the work equipment including hats and antistatic wrist-strap for safety purposes, Karin approached Sheila who was sitting in a lined chair.

"Find me a meal, yuk!" take Karin to him.

"You go, Rin. I was already. Now I want to wait for my prince to pass by, so that I can wash my eyes, hehe." Sheila refused to tilt her lips, still with her laughing, super ridiculous manner.

"You're an acute dreamer!" serang Karin.

"Let me, the important thing is that the needs of my heart are met." Sheila replied at will, making the girl shake and then move away.

"Well, congratulations!" he shouted while patting his partner's shoulder.

Karin rushed up the stairs to the cafeteria just to find a morning treat. In the middle of his footsteps that still carry the mysterious eye highlight remains faithful to highlight.

"Hi Princess, you're early today."

Karin's busyness at the dining table restrained for a moment, then turned to the direction of the arrival of the voice that greeted from the opposite direction. For a moment he grabbed a packet of strawberry jam toast ready to put in his mouth accompanied by a cup of warm tea.

"Ehm.., Danang, last night Mr. Fahri asked for a report for two weeks I left" he said in the middle of the chew, "Yuk! Breakfast with me." he continued taking the young man named Danang.

A moment Danang gave a small nod before he finally passed towards the dispenser then returned again with a cup of bitter coffee in his hand, taking a sitting position next to Karin.

"Then what news makes you this happy, Rin?" nudging Danang while touching the tip of Karin's nose taper, making the girl laugh cheerfully.

"It's okay, I'm just happy with Hany's news." Sipping warm tea in her cup, "My best friend, will be. married next month." he continued.

"That's Tun Fahmi's son?" ask Danang to make sure.

Karin nodded happily, "And you know, our hotel ballroom has been the venue for the most luxurious wedding of the century" he added, shaving a cheerful gossiping head.

"Oh, if that's what I already know," said Danang calmly.

"What's? When and from whom?" Karin jumped up, "I just heard this in the middle of breakfast with papa and mama." he continued in disbelief.

Danang raised his eyebrows mischievously, "Some! From the source directly. Then you accidentally eavesdropped on om and auntie talk, right?" guess Danang made Karin nod in embarrassment, and again Danang laughed crisply triumphantly.

"That's proud, right! I know this news directly from Mr. Fahri himself on the sidelines of our overtime drinking yesterday." explained Danang rattled the wrath of Karin's hair.

"Oh, I thought you heard it straight from director Tun." Karin retorted, adding a naughty whip on her ripe lips made Danang not loosely stunned at the source who successfully made his son up and down, "Your lips are nosy, he teases me," his his his mischievous hiss.

"Eh, you! Look out, all right." sergeant Karin did not accept. A red hue poked on his oval face.

Danang chuckles.

"Do you know Hany well?"

The young man shook his head slowly, "Never, only Mr. Fahri often told me about his future wife. And he also invited me to take part in the preparation for his wedding." explained Danang at length while sipping his coffee.

Karin smiled cheerfully, "I can't wait to see Hany wearing a wedding dress." she laughed.

Danang glanced anxiously into the girl's eyes, "Don't just look at Hany wearing her wedding dress, Rin." interrupted Danang calmly, making Karin fail to digest the speech of the young man beside her. His brain was watching Danang's speech, squinting, "You mean?" tanyanya's confused.

"You also have to put on the wedding dress immediately" she explained, again tweeting the girl's nose.

As a result, the sentence of this young man successfully made the girl choke ria. His throat was scratched. Several times he nodded. Then his fingers swiftly grabbed the cup and sipped quickly the tea. His face was red with fresh tomatoes.

"Looking, Mr. Princess, you are too sensitive to this." nosy Danang as he thrust the tissue of Karin lying on the table to the girl.

Karin greeted him, "You're the one who likes to tease, too" heed Karin did not accept, "Basic naughty!" he continued to be upset.

Again Danang thinned his lips held back laughter, "I'm not being teased, but I'm talking sober." felt not fit to see the girl's face bent in, "You're the one whose response was excessive." added gemas.

"You're the weird one, how can I get married that fast, if a boyfriend doesn't have one, and you know that." Karin said quickly, her fingers reflexively pinched the young man's cheeks, anxious.

"Then that is, dear. I think it's time you found a girlfriend." Danang's counterattack, right tickled Karin's waist. The two exchanged attacks in joking and cheerful laughter.

"What's the difference between us, you don't have a boyfriend, do you? Until your love hinges on parental matchmaking, hehehehe."

"You're a real singles, old girl named Karin Dhiyana, hahah!"

"You, Danang the old virgin! xixixix!"

"Quick forget your little friend, come on, date me." said Danang swiftly grabbed his fingers and grasped it tightly. Now his body was positioned facing Karin, "I'm serious."

Karin stifled, staring softly at Danang and the young man replied with a meaningful deep gaze.

Silent...

The soft, clear petals are increasingly glazed.

"Where do you know about him?" tanya Karin flatly split her silence.

Danang stared at Karin's clear petals, for a moment he threw them in any direction.

His breathing was heavy as if holding something back, "Kak Tama, "he answered flat and then threw back his breath slowly while glancing into Karin's eyes which were suddenly diverted in another direction, as if unable to challenge the highlight of his eagle.

Somehow he felt Danang's eyes look not as usual. Soot eyes so far that he dared to look at, dare he challenge it now feels foreign in his vision. Slowly those eyes seemed to lack the courage to return the gaze of the handsome young man who was before him. There was a feeling of panic that somehow suddenly just covetous in his mind. Just this time there was a great man who dared to speak so to him.

"Hey! Why are you quiet, are you mad at me?" Danang pretended to dilute the atmosphere while finding Karin growing clunky.

"Ti_no, I just wasn't ready to think about it." the pretext stuttered, "Ba_how can I accept you now?" weakly bleached.

Danang grabbed Karin's cold fingers. A smile rose on his lips found the girl's innocence. His glint confirmed the girl's words, "You calm down, I won't force you to accept me that fast." he said quickly but remained calm.

"M_forgive me, Danang." pinta Karin quietly. His eyes are soft.

"You have the right to make your own choices." Drawing the girl's body in close embrace, "I don't want to ruin the long-standing friendship between us just because of my momentary ambition." then continued to flinch.

For some reason, Danang's words just now, made the girl's heart seem to get calm. There was a feeling of relief on the beautiful girl's face until she suddenly published her most beautiful smile. Unconsciously the behavior of the two different people feel it is in the supervision of a pair of mysterious eyes that are increasingly careful.

Karin Work Table...

"Good morning,"

"Good morning, sir."

"Sunday, please prepare a report on the latest developments

internal audit results for all divisions," echoes melodious voice of Mr. Fahri the deputy director of TF. Electro Group's. So calm in his hearing.

"Good, Sir. I'll send it by email Mr." replied Karin lowered his head.

"Well, don't forget to attach the auditor to his real check list, and immediately deliver it to my room" added the super power closed the conversation.

"Good, Sir. I will deliver as soon as possible." reply Karin followed the back of the super power who walked increasingly away to his room.

Yes, the owner of the name Karin Dhiyana Haikal Jolly holds the position of internal auditor manager at this giant company. His daily job is to monitor the examination

and comprehensive assessment of the overall functions that run in accordance with procedures and quality control and determination of performance in manufacturing production and financial and operational of the company and employee performance.

After making sure all the data is complete and ready to be sent to Mr. Fahri's email, Karin continues his duties as requested by Mr. Fahri, grab the auditor checklist file on the snellhecter map lying on his desk and preparing to step forward into the boss's room.

The clasping fingers swiftly grabbed the doorknob, but suddenly,

chequeleked

Someone had opened the door first and poked out of the room Mr. Fahri.

"You?!" yang Karin flabbergasted.

Seen the figure of Danang who was grinning to tease him.

"You just startled me," he said, "When did you get in there?" rolling the irritated eyeballs.

"Daughter, you are so surprised to see my handsome face," said Danang, winking, "You are the one who is too focused until the moment a handsome man passes before your eyes, but you don't see him." he added giggling amusedly.

"You're a bitch!"Karin glared sharply, "I'm not joking," he continued.

"And laugh out loud, "You calm down! No need to fear the same Mr. Fahri, because it is certain, last night he won a lot so his mood is okay," whispered Danang lirih. The smell of her breath blew gently into Karin's ears.

Karin frowned confusedly, "What? Mr Fahri won a gamble last night?" chirped with a stiffening, "I can report it to Hany," he continued.

Danang chuckles.

Pinched Karin's nose squash, "Did! Plain damn you," the curled closed his white and neat teeth with fingers.

Karin's face immediately flushed and held the cob. Sickening annoyed grumbling long short as it passes and knocking back the door of the room pak Fahri which was closed due to the actions of Danang.

While Danang, the young man smiled slightly as he walked down the entrance hall of the Maintenance Area. He grinned with his head. It feels anxious to imagine Karin's face flushed when she was nosy.

'Karin! ' her mind is soft.

•••

His eyes focused on the laptop screen despite noticing that Karin was stepping up to him.

Karin who was full of enthusiasm walked leisurely while looking at the sofa not far from the corner of the vice director's chair. Accidentally his round eyeballs collided with the figure of a handsome young man who was as big as he was with a tall and dashing posture.

A white shirt with half a roll on his arm revealed the masculine side of his muscular hand. Black long pants with shiny pantofel shoes add a sexy impression on his body with a clean skin.

A look that is ideal for the assessment of a woman's eyes. Straight, neatly combed hair complete with tie accessories that curl around the neck adds to the smart impression.

The young man brimmed with charismatic facial expressions accentuated his first impression that he was the perfect pengayom. However there was no impression of a smile on his flat face.

The cold gaze was defiantly full of Karin's eyeballs that had accidentally collided with her. A moment of fighting each other. There was a sinister curl carved faintly on his lips but it was still read by Karin's eyes.

The girl's smile slowly dissipated when she found the young man deliberately sharpening his eyes with a murderous gaze towards her.Cold!

'Isn't he the one? ' Inner Karin rubu raba.

Karin deliberately turned her eyes to the main purpose of why she was in the room.

"Sir, here is the file you asked for" he said politely to Pak Fahri who was ready to look up with a friendly smile.

"Please sit Karin," said Mr. Fahri invite him to sit, while welcoming the file from Karin's hand and then examine it one by one.

Long enough Karin waited while occasionally glancing towards the sofa. The young man still looked at him sharply.

'Yeah, that's right. His person. He was indeed the Diego I had been waiting for all this time.' Inner Karin was convinced by her own memory.

The young man who filled his days as a child and his teens. The young man who unequivocally always shared personal matters with him. The young adult he once saw his picture in Mr. Fahmi's living room.

The young man who managed to make it feel frozen even though just by looking at his picture.

'It's not a dream, is it? ' she shimmered while pinching her own lips.

'It hurts! It means real.' he continued happily.

Charismatic youth. It seemed that Karin's view was truly spoiled with the grace that had gone from her life for a decade.

Now present in plain sight by bringing back memories of Karin's past that he once considered as a dark trigger in his life.

'Ah 'Akh! My soul seemed to float in the air, his mind was crazed.

Like an antidote, the most potent antibody drug in the world. It felt like a thousand venomous poisons lodged in Karin's body were now slowly beginning to paralyze. It was as if there was a new strength that was timidly residing in him.

'Diegooo!' his mind shuddered softly.

Instantly the gaze of those eyes turned into a wistful one.Sarin immediately turned his gaze in any direction. Because the young man sitting on the sofa was not the Diego he had known before, but the indifferent, cynical and cold Diego.

'So she meant Sheila in the locker area earlier.'

'But why did he change? Though I was more hurt than him.' Inner Karin nelangsa.

"Ehm.., Karin's good work. Thank you," dehem Mr. Fahri disperse his daydream.

"B_good sir, equally," replied Karin smiling kindly as she stood up and ready to move from the room.

"Please prepare a new checklist for the completeness of production and maintenance manufacturing auditors, "said Pak Fahri gave a new task, "We will go down directly to it," put the map snellhecter back on the table, "and you're coming in for a while at the shift change" he continued giving orders.

'We? Means with that cold guy?' his mind as he glanced towards Diego who was still putting his hostile face.

"Well sir, I will do it as ordered," replied Karin, bowing respectfully to his superior and then immediately passed without turning to Diego who was still at home looking at him cynically.

There was a new wound that scratched in the deepest recesses of the beautiful oval-faced girl due to Diego's treatment as if he did not know her at all and seemed to think she was foreign.

•••

The canteen TF.Electro Group..... Karin had just passed the queue to take a snack menu and then chose to sit at the table in the corner of the cafeteria room.

Danang who also had a snack box and a glass of water in her hand stepped closer to Karin's position and sat down to enjoy her pudding beside Karin who was eating voraciously.

"Rin, have you met our new director?" ask Danang around.

"Hmm." she answered briefly.

"Now it's a trending topic!"

"Oh yeah?"

The presence of Danang simply does not affect the rhythm of the chew. There was no reprimand among them.

Every now and then Danang glanced towards Karin who was busy enjoying her own world.

In his heart asked why Karin was so silent when usually he was the fastest person to say hello and never let a moment of atmosphere without talk or guyonan.

Or maybe he was angry, but what did he get angry about? Danang tried to second-guess by recalling whether there was an unintentional mistake he made during his interaction with the beautiful girl.

"You why Karin?" And who cleaves the silence.

"It's okay," answered Karin briefly, continuing the chewing.

"But your face is bent so," Danang said still not giving up.

It seemed like there was something Karin did not want to share with him.

"I don't like him, he sucks, you know_," Karin's speech was cut off by Mr. Fahri's presence.

"Karin's Night" said Mr. Fahri friendly.

"Night sir." Karin replied politely.

"I just want to say, Hany leave something for you" he continued with a friendly smile, "Please take it in my room before you go home" he asked with a smile.

"Good sir. Thank you," said Karin looking as the back of Pak Fahri who increasingly away, then throw a rough breath while glancing briefly at someone who stood upright waiting for Pak Fahri with both hands put in his pants pocket. The effect is cold and super cold.

"Ehm.., I told you that Mr. Fahrinya won a lot. The proof is that he brought something for you," Danang winked, trying to melt the girl's mood.

"Hmm..," she answered briefly without a smile.

'Wuah! Something is not right here, there is no way the effect of coming the moon is as severe as this right, ' Inner Danang who initially thought the silence of Karin may be due to the effects of coming months.

••

Karin slammed her body rough on the bed. Today is a weekend off. But he chose to settle in the opa Jery house. He was lazy to go anywhere.

Doesn't want to go home to her parents, nor does she want to go out with Hany or with Danang. There was no activity he wanted to touch at the time. Mind raging. The necklaces and jammers did not manage to leave his heart.

'For what Diego came back if only to add to the wound in my heart.' his mind was softened.

Slowly he grabbed the package given by Hany through Pak Fahri which from last night he had not been able to open because of fatigue. Karin tore the package away carefully.

'A scarf ! '

A smile carved a sweet on her thin lips.

' It's so beautiful ! ' he said he was still smiling.

His hands nimbly grabbed his phone and opened the whatsapp application and then fiddled with something there.

Whatsapp message sent ~

Hany, thank you. I love your gift.

Karin lay down while staring at the ceiling of her room. His hands were endlessly stroking Hany's hand-delivering scarf.

Those thin lips could still smile but not with those sad eyes.

That look can't lie if he's okay.

The sound of the cell phone stopped its activity.

~There are replies to messages from Hany.

Do you like that gift, baby?

^^^Dear, I love it.^^^

^^^ You know more what I like.Thank you^^

It wasn't me who gave it to you, but Diego, thank you to him.

~ Closing phone

'Whattt?' If this scarf was given by Diego then why when he came to Mr. Fahri's room last night, Diego was even indifferent to him.

Why should Mr. Fahri give the gift to him.

Then why did Mr. Fahri lie if it was a deposit from Hany.

The flashback

"This is from Hany. He said sorry can't give it to you, Miss Karin" said Mr. Fahri with a small smile.

"Oh! It's okay sir. Please thank him."

"Okay Karin, I will say."

"Thank you sir, sorry for the trouble."

And Diego, the young man was engrossed in talking to someone on his cell phone. So engrossed while laughing happily and pinning the word affection on every occasion in his speech.

Okay baby, I'll be there for the holidays.

Yes, that's why I miss you! Full emphasis on the word miss.

Maybe it was natural for Diego but not for Karin. There was a wound that he felt like slashed sembilu due to the attitude of Diego who took a silent attitude, leaving only a mystery for him.

Flashbac.

'Who is he talking to? ' inner Karin sirik.

I don't know why there's this feeling if it's true Diego never thought he was in his past. The feeling of whether this is up to - until he has to feel upset and lost when Diego ignores it.

What was this feeling that he felt disappointed when Diego was more at home laughing with the speaker in his postel rather than throwing a smile for him. At least as proof that they were friends.

Then why would Diego give her that scarf? How does Diego know what he likes? Then why should he accept that scarf?

Then why didn't Hany tell him that Diego was back from London? Then why did Hany not explain what purpose Diego gave the Scarf to him. Then why, then and then..

His head was completely dizzy thinking about all that alone.

"Ck!"

"Diego drives me crazy talking to myself!"
