My Choice of Match

Special eps: Thorn 3

Sely took me to a small angkringan on the side of the road, I was a bit surprised because I thought he would take me to the cafe.We ordered a cup of ginger milk coffee to warm up, I was kind of amazed, the night the air gets colder but I feel comfortable and warm not only because of a hot cup of coffee but because of the new pleasant atmosphere.

"The art is actually a good person, it's just that he doesn't like it if his position is disturbed" said Sely in the middle of our chat.

"Did I bully his position?" sely chuckled and replied

"Instantially, yes, you know we have a beautiful supervisor like a model, and ka Anggi is his only rival in the store. Reni is quite beautiful but yes, she is usually, of course according to herself she is very beautiful because her behavior is sometimes strange and upsetting"

"Then what does this have to do with me?"

"Are you unconscious? you're beautiful, Mel, so he bothers you so you know that he's in charge of the store so you won't make him feel bad"

I chuckled at Sely's explanation, I didn't expect that in my new life I'd met someone like that.

"How do I tease her? I have absolutely no thoughts of disturbing anyone's life"

"Sister Mel already I say you are beautiful, without doing anything people will be interested in your brother and will certainly be nice, they will tease you even if you just keep quiet and put on a serious face. Reni doesn't like that. She doesn't want anyone else to be the center of attention other than her"

Truly, this is the most ridiculous situation I have ever experienced.I never felt myself as pretty as an angel then why should anyone feel threatened because of me? I scanned my face in the mirror looking for my advantages and disadvantages, finding out how beautiful I was.

I still thought about this until morning, when I lived in Jakarta no one treated me like this.Among my friends there are praise my beauty but I do not feel special because there are many more beautiful than me.

After thinking about it as long as I was in a relationship that first made them fall in love with me was because of my beauty, if I walk between the eyes they are always looking with a look of wanting to tease.Takusu turns out all this time they see is my physical, it's worth it that Jordan left me, it turns out I'm just a thing to be proud of, not a human being to be loved.

I smiled bitterly realizing the terrible fact about myself, how unlucky it was to be created with a beautiful physique.If I was born with just an ordinary face would anyone love me wholeheartedly?

"Mely... Mely are you ready?" ask Aunt Isma from outside the room

"Yes aunty" I replied as I went out of the room.

"There's a Sely nanyain you, he said you want to walk together to the store"

"Oh yes tan, Mely forgot to say from now on I go back and forth with Sely tan. Why tan?"

"Yes gapapa donk, aunt even seneng you already have a tea now"

"Yes, I've been on my way first Tan"

I went out of the house and found that Sely was waiting for me. Along the way we chatted, it turns out Sely was quite surprised when he knew I was the nephew of aunt Isma.Mindah not much know about this and I also do not want others to know about this because I told Sely to keep secret.

Today the store is quite busy because of the arrival of new goods, indeed the warehouse person in charge but we are told to help because customers are not much, not many, I'm happy to be asked to help because I'm used to busy working instead of smiling in front of the store to attract attention.

"Mely please get out the last old stuff yes" a senior told me.

I quickly went straight to the back shelf, apparently this old item is rarely touched by the dust attached. I chose to take out the items on the top shelf was quite high but fortunately there are chairs that I can use as a substitute for stairs.

I climbed up slowly and held onto the shelf, after being able to stand upright I immediately pulled the item out but it turned out that my calculations were wrong. The item I pulled was heavy enough that I had to expend energy because just focus on pulling the item I did not think I would fall over after successfully pulling it.

I screamed in shock as my body was about to fall down with the item that had slipped out of my grasp, I thought my legs would be sprained and my waist hurt from falling but it happened because someone caught me just before I fell.One of the male employees of course in the warehouse section has saved me.

I was still shocked to the point of just looking at him without saying anything.

"Thankfully, you're okay, right? anybody hurt? is anyone sick?" tanyanya still hugged me.

I shook my head and broke away from her embrace.It took me a few minutes to be able to stop my heart's flesh tight and return to normal.

"I'm gapapa, thanks for the help"

"No problem, next time be careful not to do the heavy work yourself"

He answered with a nod of his head, and I went back to work I removed the item that had fallen to the edge and woke up the chair that had fallen, put it in its original position and went back up on it.

"What do you want?" asked the man in wonder

"Well, take out the old stuff" I replied trying to pull the item slowly from the second shelf

"After you almost fell down?" asked her again in a slightly irritated tone, I stopped pulling and turned to her to talk

"Why? daritadi that's what I'm doing, I'm told to get these old things out. So I'll work on it"

"Did you never learn from your mistakes? you could fall again"

"Look, now the goods are not as high as before I am also more careful the goods I will pull slowly"

I answered with a smile and continued my work, not expecting the man to even carry me down from the chair until I screamed in shock because I felt my body float.

"If you work like this every day you'll go to the hospital because you're hurt"

He said as he put away the chair and pulled the item that I had been trying to remove.He was tall enough that he only needed to tiptoe and it came out easily. He gave me that dusty stuff while smiling.

"Set the goods in the corner so as not to obstruct, and arrange neat"

He turned back to get the other stuff out, letting me research his body which I thought was quite gallant.Either why his attitude was to me like that of an older brother who was protecting his sister, I smiled and went back to work to help him finish.

When Sely's break invites me to eat meatballs, I actually do not like it but it never hurts also to try. We chose the back seat to be able to chat freely and quietly, shortly after we sat down came the man who had helped me with my work with his friends sitting in front of us.

"As long as you know not the person sitting in front of it" I asked as I pointed at the man with eyes

"Which one?"

"That's the store employee too, the guy sitting on the left of it"

"Owh Brother Deni"

"Name Deni?" ask me again

"Yes, why? "

"Why did I work here to help him"

Sely looked at me suspiciously, certainly making me feel uncomfortable.

"Only to help pray?" tanyanya made sure

"It's just help doang, why the hell? "

"Father, just a suggestion that I'm Mel's brother should not hold him close"

"Why is that why?" ask me curious

"Sister Deni ama Reni used to date, I was horrified Kak Deni who mutusin and Reni still Love, until now Reni sometimes likes Deketin Kak Deni that even though his brother Deni does not like. I'm afraid that Mel's sister has problems because of the same deket Deni, you already know how Reni is"

"Owhh"

I didn't ask any more, Sely's explanation was enough to warn me. Well, even though I originally wanted to be friends with him but I think I should keep my distance so that we are not close, I do not want to have a new problem that is good for me Reni does not bother me anymore. I just have to focus more on my work, even though I admit Deni seems to have the same thoughts as me because several times I caught him stealing glances from me. Does he like me or is he just curious and just want to be friends?
