Marrying the Rich Widow
Chapter 9 Friends
"Why should women come to the moon? I can't play with him. Being around him made me feel like I couldn't help myself. I'd better focus on work." - David.
That is, some days David busies himself with work. He went into the room late at night and in the morning he went to work, avoided Cherry before he woke up, then left for the office during work hours.
David is currently in his office. He felt tired with the endless work. Feeling relaxed for a while then he sent a message to Cherry.
[Where?]
Minutes changed, the message was not answered. He checks his cell phone.
"Sir, are you waiting for something? Is there anything I can do?" billy asked when he saw his master look riled up.
"No."
His mouth said no, but his body's gestures showed uneasiness.
"What is he doing? Is he having fun?" inner David.
Not wanting to be curious, he made a phone call.
"How dare he refuse my phone call" he said angrily when his call was rejected.
Once again he made a phone call, but the number he contacted was off. Cherry turned off her phone.
David was furious at Cherry's behavior. He stood up leaving the room. Billy who was astonished by the attitude of his master followed him from behind.
"Where are you going, sir?" ask Billy.
"To Cherry's campus."
"Good, Sir." Despite not understanding what happened, Billy was on standby escorting his master.
Billy was driving at full speed because his master looked rushed.
A message came into David's phone.
[There are still hours of college. I can't pick up the phone. What's up?]
Instead of replying to the message, David made a video call.
"Yes." Yeah." Cherry is seen talking on the screen of David's phone, he is in a place that is not so crowded.
"Where are you?"
"On campus. What's up?"
"Why so lonely?"
"Of course I can't talk in a crowded place. Too noisy."
"Try turning your camera around." David ordered. He wanted to know that Cherry was really on campus. Upon seeing that it was a campus area, David immediately turned off his call.
"Billy, turn the direction. I want to buy a cell phone." said David.
"Good, Sir." Billy turned the wheel, pointing it at the shopping mall.
"You comedown. Buy him a cell phone that's the best and the latest." David orders Billy when he gets to the shopping mall parking lot.
"Good, Sir. I'll be right back." Billy got out of the car and into the shopping mall area.
"The woman ... The picture quality of the phone is so bad. How can I see his face so well when making a video call." David still does not understand the nature of Cherry. She is not like other women who prefer to waste money. Platinum card he had given, but Cherry only used to pay his tuition fees.
It didn't take long, Billy immediately returned with the item his master had requested.
"We're back in the office" David said.
"Okay, Taun."
***
David just closed the video call. Cherry was still amazed by what had just happened, this was the first time they had spoken on video. He had to run to find a quiet place so that his friends could not be seen.
"There's nothing important, did I miss something?" Cherry was still thinking about why David had suddenly contacted her. Even these days he hardly ever met David at home.
"Cherry, what are you doing here?" Alex greets.
"Hi, there's no. I just got a phone call."
"No classes?" ask Alex.
"Half hours away."
"me too. How about we wait in the cafeteria?"
"Where's Sandra?" Cherry asked back.
"He'll come to the cafeteria."
"okay."
Alex is a handsome man. But honestly in Cherry's eyes, he's nothing compared to David. David's face was so handsome and his chest was a field like torn bread.
"Hmm torn bread." Cherry murmuring.
"What's? You want to get your bread torn?" ask Alex.
"Yes, I'll buy it when I get home." Cherry said while holding back a smile as she realized her stupidity.
"What do you want to eat? Let me order." Alex asked.
"Juice oranges."
"Okay, wait." A little while later Alex came over carrying two glasses of juice in his hand.
"Where do you live?" ask Alex. Sandra told me about Cherry. He said that Cherry's appearance changed a lot, the clothes she wore were famous boutique products. Out of curiosity, Alex tries to get close to Cherry.
"In the south."
"Where? Coincidentally my cousin in the south."
"Cubes knew it would be difficult to find the address. Uh, where's Sandra?" ask Cherry to distract.
"So, maybe he still has a need." In reality, Alex doesn't tell Sandra that he's alone with Cherry.
Alex observes everything Cherry wears, he can tell that everything is expensive.
"You know, Sandra asked me out on my first date" Alex said.
"really?" Ah, Cherry feels sorry to have responded to Alex's remarks, she shouldn't care.
"Yes, I don't really have any feelings for him. I just pity."
"How could you possibly handle that with Sandra?"
"I was forced to accept it, because I knew he was your best friend. I was looking for information about you from Sandra, but she asked me out. I thought I could forget about you after being with Sandra. But, it turns out your shadow always comes in every dream. Cherry .. I'm sorry." said Alex.
"Why are you apologizing to me?"
"I'm sorry I couldn't hold on to trying to get you. Now I'm sorry. Will you forgive me?"
"You should apologize to Sandra."
"Yes, of course. I'll apologize and break up with Sandra. Then we can be together." Alex said.
"No, Alex. We can't be together."
"Cherry, I know that you like me. Give me a chance. Please ..." Alex cupped his hands together pleading with Cherry.
"No." Cherry stood up and left Alex.
"You'll be mine." Alex said with complete confidence. He thought no woman would reject him. He used to be a school idol, and now he will be an idol on this campus.
***
After college, Cherry and Sandra went to a fast food restaurant near her college.
"Cherry, I've been wanting to tell you this for a long time." Sandra invited Cherry to eat together because she wanted to say something.
"What's that?"
"I'm sorry, I'm dating Alex. He asked me out after school. I was lonely without you." Sandra said it with regret.
Cherry remained silent. Alex's words again overshadowed his mind. How could he do that to Sandra? But, what they both said was very contradictory.
"Are you angry with me?"
"No. I don't have any feelings for Alex. It was just a memory of time at school. All girls will have an idol, just that" Cherry said.
"really? You forgive me, don't you?"
"Nothing to forgive."
Cherry didn't know which was right and which was wrong, so she chose not to tell her about the incident in the cafeteria this afternoon.
"Cherry, do you have a boyfriend?" sandra asked, "Jossi told me, yesterday he saw you picked up by someone."
"Ah, yes." said Cherry could not dodge.
"You should introduce her to me."
"He's very shy." Cherry tried to find an excuse.
Cherry's phone vibrates, Johan's name appears to be calling on her phone screen.
"Yes." Yeah." Cherry answered the phone call.
"Madam, I was in front of the campus. Is your college over?" ask Johan across the phone.
"Yes, I'm at a fast food restaurant near campus."
"I'll pick you up, Madam."
"okay." Cherry ended her phone call.
"What's up?" ask Sandra.
"I have to go home. He's already picked me up."
"Ah, that's great. You can introduce me."
"Sorry Sandra, not now. He's in a hurry." Cherry packed her stuff.
"alright. I'm glad to know you already have a boyfriend. Huh, why haven't you told me before?"
"Yes, we just made it up" said Cherry, "i'm leaving first. He's already ahead. Byee ..."
"Byee ..."
Surrounded by glass, Sandra could see Cherry walking outside. He was very curious about Cherry's lover.
It turns out true as Jossi said yesterday, that Cherry was picked up a luxury sedan car. The car owner was not seen. But just looking at the luxury car was enough to convince Sandra that the owner was a rich man.
"Hmmm .. how lucky Cherry is. Must be all the expensive stuff that stuck to his body he got from the owner of the car. What is special about Cherry? I'm much better than him."
