The coffee shop became the first place Verda visited once she got off the car she was riding in to get to her office. Verda immediately headed to the toilet at the tavern after ordering a hot green tea latte on Desta, the barista who had memorized Verda's order.
Verda took off her ten-centimeter pump shoes which are now covered in mud. Verda was completely unaware that the access road to Vedra's house was still clay which trapped Verda's heels. Last night the road was too dark and Verda did not pay too much attention to the terrain.
This morning Verda realizes that the Vedra house is a replica of the man's hometown. The man's house was apparently surrounded by a cassava garden, a banana garden, and weeds that reached the waist of an adult. The area was apparently also used as a place of cattle rearing because dozens of cows appear to graze with herders.
Verda sighed, living in a place like this obviously made him unable to bring his personal car which was a type of city car. Honda Jazz-nya really will be odong-odong if through the road like that.
Verda immediately wiped her shoes with a wet tissue and rinsed them with running water.
"How could he live in a place like that anyway?" Verda cursed Vedra with a turbulent feeling of resentment.
"You have to hang on to stay with him until you get the photo card that's currently definitely hidden somewhere in that house!" Verda monologues herself.
Last night Verda failed to do his mission to find a photo card because he fell asleep due to fatigue during the journey home from Vedra hometown.
Verda has to enter the office today, while Vedra can only take Verda to the nearest stop so that the woman can continue her journey to the office.
...*****...
Verda had arrived at his desk, he put a paper glass containing warm green tea latte on the desk and turned on his computer. Before starting his job, he used to check social media accounts to find out the latest news from the Fancy fanbase account.
On the fanbase account usually the fans upload back all the activities of Fancy members. Starting from just social media updates, sharing live broadcast activities, to pieces of virtual fan meeting events.
Verda was stunned to see the latest photo uploaded by the idol on his social media account. Jehun the idol wears a luxurious dress with makeup that makes the man look like a prince from a seventeenth-century European kingdom.
Verda clearly had to praise the stylist team because it has made Fancy members who have been handsome since the fetus so more sparkling and shining.
"Jehun is really very handsome! If Jehun had been my husband, it would have been wonderful for me!" ceplos Verda chuckled.
Verda's giggling sounds so flirtatious that coworkers who hear are tempted to sulide him.
"Oh, well, early in the morning it's too late," Teti approached Verda's desk.
"Haha, it's free, Tet!" sahut Verda laughs.
"Oh yes, this is a document from Mr. Handoko," Teti put a stack of documents entrusted by Mr. Handoko to Verda.
"A lot, Teti," Verda complained.
"Yes, it's Vedra work that you have to work on while replacing the man on leave" Teti said.
"Oh well, Vedra who just got married, so when did you catch up, Ican?" sahut Nita from his cubicle.
Nita nudges Ican, a single man whose desk is next to Vedra's desk.
"Yee, wrong question, Nit, you should ask senior Verda first! I am a minor!" Ican pulled it out of his cubicle.
"ahaha! Under your teeth, Can!" nita sewot.
"So how, Verda, when did you catch up?" ask Teti.
"Aahaha!" Verda laughs. "'Tet, my pets are so much more interesting!" Verda shows Fancy's latest album.
"ahaha! Verda you said like that just like an oozing aunt!" Teti laughs.
"The function of the bachelors is indeed to make aunty happy! Haha," Verda laughed.
"Agreed!" sahut Nita giggles.
"Verda, Verda! How can you get a soul mate if your taste is too high, where there are men in real life like that! Halu, uh," Ican chimed in.
"Hey Can, you can talk to me like that when you yourself have not been able to mate! Ahaha," Verda chuckled again.
"Where do I want to be with you, your face potato face! Ahahaha!" Verda laughed again.
"Ahaha," Ican laughed.
"Lagian Can, you don't want to be with me! I'm already married! You will be called pebinor! Ahaha," Verda chuckled again.
"Yes, yes, congratulations on your marriage to your pet, Verda," Nita chimed in.
"Oh yeah, by the way, you've all congratulated Vedra's wedding?" ask Teti.
"Not yet, Tet, just wait for the guy to come" Ican said.
"How about we joint venture to give Vedra a wedding gift?" nita's Proposal.
"Hmm, yeah, I think that's a good idea. A surprise gift when he came back after the holidays," Teti said.
"So, what kind of gift are we going to give?" ask Nita.
"What should we give Vedra that has not been so twisted?" Ican wondered.
"Hmm, you're right, Can, it's hard, Vedra is just Pajeroh's car, Prada's bag and shoes, yes, we give him a gift of goods from the grocery store all five thousand?" Nita chiming.
"Eh, but I'm really curious about who Vedra is getting married to! What kind of woman would marry that man?" Teti threw a question.
"No, women who want to marry a man who is not fun like Vedra? What about Verda, you're Vedra's teammate?" ask Nita.
Verda gasped at Nita's question.
"Ahaha, don't know!" verda replied with a laugh.
"Yee, you're how the hell, Verda, you're even the first to know that Vedra is getting married!" nita Tukas.
"Ahaha, yes, I know because Vedra told me," Verda said.
"That means you know also dong, who's the woman who married Vedra?" ask Teti full search.
Let them not know that the woman is me, Verda's inner self.
"Hmm, Vedra is definitely married to a woman!" sahut Verda chuckled.
"Yee, that is, so that there is such an image, who knows his wife is cooked, so it can be bought cooking utensils," Teti said.
"If the droves are handsome, what will be prepared in handsome droves?" ask Verda while chuckling.
"Yee, handsome men in droves want you, Verda!" chirps Nita while laughing.
"Ahaha," Verda responded with a sumringah laugh.
"How about the donation collected first? After the funds have been collected it is decided what to buy," proposed Ican.
"Well, that's a good idea, Can, then you, yeah, are collecting donations to everyone" Nita said.
"'Well," Ican melengos.
In his heart he condemned why he proposed the idea that at the ends he also had to be bothered to collect donations.
Verda was silent, as much as possible she had to close her marriage to Vedra in order to protect her career. That's the deal between Verda and Vedra.
