"Yes! Pay everything…! With flowers…! I don't care what you do…!" Now that Leon had exploded, he threw out Merisa's hand and quickly took the check in Merisa's hand and tore it up and threw it on the floor.
.
.
.
.
He wandered out of the Alvalendra Mansion. The view is empty, looking at the small fountain pool that is right in front of the entrance of the Alvalendra Mansion.
Her mind floated to a few minutes ago as Merisa looked at those already worthless pieces of paper. His knee was squeezed instantly, remembering how he had very carefully kept the paper from being lost or damaged and in the end it was worthless.
Unknowingly he sat in place, his little legs were no longer able to hold his weight. He cursed his stupid self, he should not have to force the Alvalendra to take his cheque back. Nah! He shouldn't have come here. Just take the money, then go abroad, go to college there or open a small bakery shop by the side of the road or consider this as the lottery he won.
Why is he so idealistic?
The scream of the car horn was not enough to resuscitate Merisa from the slump. A man with his horse glasses came out of the car, and now in front of Merisa's face.
"Miss, are you okay?" Ask politely. He helped Merisa stand up. It only seemed dumb at that moment. His body was limp, because he had not eaten yet because of the shock of seeing a check worth millions that had become worthless pieces of trash.
"Ehem, what are you doing?" Now Leon's figure appears on the front porch. Looking at the two people in front of him while sharpening his eyes. Now that his appearance is different, he wears a gray suit with a black shirt and is combined with a tie that matches his suit. While carrying his black briefcase, he walked down the stairs to the two people who were very damaging to the view.
The man who helped Merisa earlier immediately bowed respectfully.
"Good morning, sir."
Leon.
His eyes were only fixed on Merisa who was still putting on a gloomy face.
"Hey, Merisa!" Call ketus. Leon stopped, keeping his distance with Merisa over a meter.
"Why is he still here? Hurry up and get a job and pay me your debt!" Ejek Leon is upset. From the tone of his voice, it seemed like Leon wanted to provoke a commotion.
It was just silence, ignoring Leon's words. Seeing Merisa who did not respond at all made Leon even more upset. He walked closer to me. Not long after, they faced each other. Their distance is very close. Merisa should immediately take a step back if in this position but she did not move at all. Leaving Leon closer, so close, that Leon could smell the vanilla scent of Merisa's hair.
Leon gulped his saliva.
"You can be my woman if you want. So you don't have to pay your debts."
Slowly Merisa began to react, she looked up to see the face of Leon who was staring at her face which was almost no distance between them. Smiling and,
Bruukis, bruuk,
Leon immediately crouched down holding his nose which was already spitting out fresh blood.
"Ahhgg.
"Don't lie!" Shouted Merisa not to lose. He put up horses.
Quickly, the man who helped Merisa took the tissue in the car and gave it to her master. Leon quickly took out a few sheets of tissue and covered his nose.
Leon should have followed his instinct if this wouldn't have worked on Merisa.
"Sorry! Do you want me to report the police heh?”, Leon tesumput-sung. He saw Merisa who had taken some distance from him while putting up the horses even though Leon knew that his legs were shaking now. Leon stood up slowly. His right hand held a tissue in his nose and his left hand held his back which was still painful because last night had to carry Merisa on his back to his room on the third floor.
"I'm not the first merisa anymore! I can. can taekwondo! Silat! Karate! Don't expect you to mess with me," said Merisa while clenching her hands that were in front of her face and putting up the horses
Leon just smirked annoyed. He knows he's lying.
Oh come on, seven years of stalking Merisa, just this thing when Leon doesn't know.
"Close to you, Merisa," said Leon annoyed. He did not want to prolong the problem because now he was three hours late to go to his office.
"Sana hurry go! Hush.. hush.. hush." Leon wagged his hand, driving away Merisa as if to chase away the cat in the kitchen.
Merisa immediately pursed her lips.
"I want to go home too. Excuse me!" Saying Sniffle. He walked out the gate and grumbled.
…
"Sir, do you want to be transferred to the hospital first or directly to the office?" Asked a man who was none other than his personal assistant.
"To the office only.Fer Today I have a meeting with Qin company," replied the master took a tissue in his lap and raised his head trying to stop the red liquid flowing in his nose, he said,
"Heh." He complained.
"My head is dizzy once” he said while massaging his forehead.
"All right." Ferdi said . Then he pulled the comping and stepped on the gas car drove the car he was riding out of the Alvalendra mansion. Occasionally he peeked at his Master who was laughing small from the rearview mirror.
"It was satisfied to peek at me, Fer," Sindir Leon who was still giggling while continuing the activity of wiping his nose which was still bleeding.
"Sorry, Sir."
…
"Fame!"
A beautiful woman in a white coat turned her head back to hear her name called. Seen by him, a small man ran up to him while displaying his characteristic whimper. This woman is smiling. She stopped waiting for the man who called her to come to her.
"You're busy fan?" Niko asked her fiancee. Stefani smiled and shook her head.
"I should have asked you a question." Stefani said, pointing out.
"...you don't leave your company to grandfather marco. Poor him. He's old. Time to retire!" Stefani continued his steps that had stopped.
Niko walked with her lover.
"Leave it. I want to meet my future wife," said Niko spoiled while holding stefani's hand, being spoiled.
"Basic, fool!" Quickly Stefani hits Niko's hand and hits Niko's head with the map she is holding, just teaching a lesson.
"I don't want to marry a lazy man" stefani said firmly.
Niko pretended to sulk but it did not seem to work on his future wife. Evident from Stefani's indifferent attitude of walking away from him. Niko finally gave up.
"Well for this time let me have breakfast with you" Niko said as she followed Stefani.
Stefani pursed her lips.
"It's 11 o'clock, stupid! There's breakfast at eleven. Anyway I'm not hungry yet" Gerutu Stefani.
"Drink juice only. Okay?" Niko cuts off Stefani's path, forcing her with her flagship puppy eyes. Stefani sighed, then nodded her head in agreement. Niko also spread her distinctive grin. He walked backwards and signaled to Stefani to wait for him on the waiting bench, before he ran a little closer to the drinking machine. With a rush he put some dime into the machine and…
Clontang…
Two cans of juice fall. He quickly picked it up and ran up to Stefani who was waiting for him while opening the map he had been carrying.
"It." Niko puts a can of juice on Stefani.
"Thank you."
"It doesn't feel well we're adults now" Niko said, wiping the corner of her wet mouth with the tip of her shirt. Stefani just smiled in response to Niko's words, he drowned again reading sheet by sheet of his patient notes.
"So I'm new from Leon's house ." Connect Niko.
"You know, it looks like the lion is in a relationship with a woman." Niko notices Stefani still focused with sheets of paper that are written many strange terms from the end of her eyes.
"His face flushed red as I teased her." Niko laughed remembering Leon's expression outside of his stoic face.
Stefani pretends not to care about what Niko says. Although terbesit envy in his heart. Why be envious, if you already have a potential husband who is very attentive to you.
He tried to force a smile every time Niko looked at him. It turned out that this pile of papers could not hide his chaotic feelings at all. It was messy to know the fact that there was a woman that his best friend liked.
Well, best friend. The memories between them are no longer there. Not even created at all. Only a false hope was buried in his heart.
He cannot be selfish. When there is someone who loves him very much and is dedicated to making him happy for life, for what is chasing the shadows of past dreams. But it was not at all as easy as his shadow. Tight chest. The longer he heard the person's name, the more selfish he became. Wants to get everything. He touched his whole heart which is now no longer good. Once again he forced a smile to rise in his lips.
"Niko!" Cut Stefani on Niko who was busy talking at length.
"Yes fan" he answered.
"I forgot today I have a patient. I'm sorry I couldn't keep you company any longer" Stefani said as she got up from her seat and walked past Niko.
Her steps came to a halt as Niko held her hand. He turned his head and looked at Niko with a confused look.
"Sorry" said Niko
"For?"
"I'm asking you to remember it again."
niko said regretfully
…
"Sorry! this is table number 4."
"Good!"
The sound of the clanking of chopsticks clashing against the bowl sounded domineering within the room. The hustle and bustle of people who call one name seems to be the only word created on earth 'enrichment'. That word is now the second name of a woman with hair tied to a ponytail . This woman very swiftly, coming to the red square tables while occasionally giving a welcome and see the people who come in and out of her place.
"Servant! The three soups were one," said a middle-aged man while pointing his index finger, perceiving, this servant girl quickly wrote down the order of the man earlier, saying, then turn to the young couple at the end table who call him to order the same thing. Well of course, now Merisa is in the rib soup store. The shop on the side of the road, where he works now.
"Order will be delivered soon," said Merisa to customers.
It doesn't feel like it's 2 o'clock by now. Now the customer only has one, the old man sitting at the table by the window, the order has been delivered. Two hours earlier was his busiest time because it was a break time but now that the break time was over, the tavern was already quiet. Now Merisa can relax stretching her shoulder muscles that have been cramps.
The door bell rang, doubling the customers who entered. With swift Merisa, giving greetings to a woman with glasses, seen once from her appearance, she is a learned woman.
"Please, what message would you like?" Tanya Merisa while proffering the menu book. The woman opened the existing menu sheets and turned them around not understanding.
"This is the most loved is beef rib soup. Did Miss want to order it too?" Tawar Merisa friendly.
"Emm.. okay. I'll get beef rib soup, one." The woman returned the menu book to Merisa.
"Wait a minute, the order will be delivered soon," said Merisa while taking her menu book and then went to the kitchen to get the order.
Fifteen minutes later, Merisa delivered an order for the bespectacled woman who was now sitting at table number 5. The woman waited patiently while sipping orange juice of her order that had been delivered in advance.
"Please enjoy," said Merisa while bending her body.
"Thank you, Miss," the bespectacled woman replied kindly.
"Don't call me, Miss. I'm so embarrassed," said Merisa disinclined. He scratched his head which was not itchy at all.
"Do you still know me, Miss?" Saying women with glasses
Merisa frowned. Twisting his brain, remembering who was in front of him. I was shocked to see who the woman in front of him was.
"Will olivia? That genius student who won the science olympiad in Australia?" Merisa asked involuntarily she slightly shouted. Merisa remember, ever see the face of this glasses woman in the campus magazine, before Merisa out of her University because she could not afford her semester money is too high.
The woman smiled.
"Not that, Miss," The bespectacled woman we call Olivia.
"We met three weeks ago, at Alvalendra Mansion. Do you remember it?"
It was sad to think about what happened three weeks ago, at the Alvalendra Mansion. He noticed that the woman in glasses was fine. Now Merisa really remembers.
"You're the Maid who served me at the time, right?"
Olivia nodded.
"Thank you for helping me stand up at that time" said Merisa shyly, hiding her face behind a tray.
"Together." said Olivia softly.
"Ah..yeah wait a moment," Quickly Merisa entered again into the kitchen and not for some time she brought a plate of food and put it on Oliv's table.
"This is my thanks. These fried eels are great when eaten with beef rib soup."
Oliv smiled getting hospitality from Merisa.
"Please enjoy," said Merisa kindly.
Lisa turned to the table beside Oliv
'why a genius student he wants to be a maid at the Alvalendra residence, but there are still many other jobs that are more worthy of a genius student like him ' batin Merisa was astonished as she walked into the kitchen taking the orders of the customers.
After finishing eating his rib soup finally Olivia waved her hand calling Merisa to pay for the food she had ordered and immediately left from there.
"See you later." said Merisa while bowing her body slightly.
Very soon Merisa cleaned the table that was used by Oliv and saw a piece of newspaper on the table. Quickly he ran out looking for Oliv who already did not know where the trail was. He finally went back inside and continued his work.
…
The clock shows at 8 p.m. After cleaning the whole room he was finally allowed to go home.
His little feet stepped down the street, heading to the shabby flat, a place he had occupied for the past 3 weeks. A flat that only measures a few meters, but is quite comfortable to occupy Merisa at this time. The owner was very kind to let Merisa pay her rent at the end of the month until she got her first salary from the rib soup shop.
Merisa immediately laid her body on the floor and curled up trying to eliminate the coldness that attacked her body. Many times he tried to close his eyes but the drowsiness was not felt by him. He changed his sleeping position to his back.
Looking at the ceiling of his flat that was already filled with spots of stains forming an island. He breathed his breath. He remembered the unsold rib soup that would be his dinner now. He quickly searched the plastic bag he was carrying. He breathed a sigh of relief knowing his rib soup was still warm. Slowly he ate the rib soup while reading the newspaper that Oliv had accidentally left in the store. The job opening page. Looking for some vacancies that are quite interesting in terms of salary according to him.
Salary at his place of work is now only a little. Just enough to pay rent and eat everyday. He must desperately save his salary that has been paid upfront, to just buy a shirt as well as some blankets that are certainly also being traded. How could he pay his debt to Leon which is quite a lot, hundreds of millions . His entire life seemed to be difficult to pay his debts. Not to mention I don't know what percentage of interest he has to pay.
It felt like cursing her stupid self for forgetting to ask that important thing. Because too much emotion was also shock he finally forgot all that. Though previously he had been grumbling to ask the purpose of the kindness of Leon but in the end everything blank somewhere. Lamenting his poor nippy.
His attention was turned to job vacancies that he found very interesting. Vacancy to be a waitress at the Alvalendra Mansion.
Alvalendra Mansion?
He immediately coughed so surprised to read how much nominal salary he offered. There is a remnant of meat attached to the lips with the tip of the sleeve of his coat. Look carefully at the numbers listed there.
"1, 2, 3, 4 .." Said Merisa while counting the row of zeros next to the number one.
"…6?" His eyes grew momentarily.
"Geez!" Merisa did not believe.
Silent.
Not long after he laughed, shrewd. He threw the newspaper and went back to eating. Not until a mouthful he devoured his food quickly he put his food back and then turned to the sheets of newspapers scattered because of his actions earlier. He noticed that the job vacancy was fine. Now his smile was completely perfect.
With his excitement he jumped around like he had just won the lottery. With steel, he intends to go there tomorrow. No matter what the expressionless person looks like. Leon won't be able to break his spirit.
“ha ha ha, I will come there tomorrow”, said Merisa with a terrible smile like a psychopath .
