My Choice of Match

eps. 6

Mely tried to close her eyes but still she could not sleep, her body shivered even though she was wearing a blanket. Just this time he was stricken with fever again, probably because of the soybean work and the weekend he used for a vacation to Bogor which was always in the rainy season.

his phone rang, he saw apparently from Jordan who asked how he was doing at the moment. Mely replied that she felt cold and Jordan asked no more.

long enough for Mely to wait for Jordan's message but no one or even any sign of Jordan sending a message, she became thinking what Jordan is doing right now. Could he be sick when he finds out his girlfriend is sick?. Mely brushed off those ugly thoughts, impossible. Wasn't he so good all this time, wasn't he so attentive, maybe he was just busy. But back in his heart he asked again, busy what he was doing until there was no message again, was he not unemployed?.

In a shake with an ugly mind Mely felt her head getting sicker. He tried to massage his head slowly hoping that the pain would go away. When the door was knocked, Mely found it strange who was visiting these nights, by walking slowly Mely approached the door and opened it.

Jordan stood right in front of Mely with both hands busy looking at the grocery bag.

"Jordan..... what....what are you doing?"

"I'm worried about your condition, so I'm going to buy you some porridge to eat and some medicine to make you drink so you're better"

Mely felt ashamed of herself, how foolish she was to think of such ugly things, was prejudiced when Jordan had just been on the street and bought her medicine and food.

"You shouldn't bother, it's late at night and you're still unemployed, but you always take me for a walk and now buy me medicine and food anyway"

"You're calm just savings I still have ko, besides there is no way I can also be careless while my darling again sick kayak gini"

Mely smiled happily, she indeed felt the luckiest woman to have had Jordan. Mely lets Jordan in, although only briefly but time is not wasted Jordan, she feeds Mely to eat until it runs out after Mely takes Jordan's new medicine.

Now that Mely was feeling better, her body started to feel good and her head was no longer sick. He closed his eyes and finally slept well.

Today Mely came home from work earlier than usual, and because she had promised to accompany Ocha shopping she also sent a message to Jordan so that there was no need to pick her up.

Ocha took Mely by the hand, leading her through every dress shop that looked attractive. Sometimes the road with friends is exciting too, Mely enjoys the moments of Ocha silliness and laughs happily until they feel tired and choose to rest first and eat because their stomach has begun to feel sore.

They chose one of the restaurants that looked quite luxurious but kece to be in tongkrongi young people, Melya told Ocha who ordered food while he would go to the toilet first.

Apparently when in the toilet, Mely overheard the conversation of restaurant employees who were discussing their work, and from that conversation, Mely seemed to hear that the restaurant was in need of a male employee.

"Sorry mba, may I ask? I'm sorry I overheard this conversation, is it true that this restaurant is in need of a male employee?"

"Oh so yes, if I may know how to apply for his job yes, whether by e-mail or come directly here? it just so happened that someone was looking for a job and he had experience in restaurants"

"Oh, I'll call this number, that's our leader's number, can't ask you directly how"

the restaurant employee handed him a business card, and Mely accepted it she skimmed the card and thanked him. He is happy because now there is hope Jordan can get a job here.

Melya returned to his desk when Ocha was eating voraciously without waiting for him first, shopping was fun but quite tired and stomach rumbling naturally if Ocha was eating so greedily.

The business card given by the restaurant staff was of course Mely handed over to Jordan, and Jordan's first reaction was certainly very happy. He immediately dialed the number, during a week Mely was unable to meet Jordan after he got word that Jordan had to prepare himself and file for an interview.

It felt so empty when he could not meet, even though he could send messages and calls but could not meet in person enough to make Mely lonely.

But his patience has produced good results, Jordan said he has been accepted for work even though he was a chef. But Mely was also happy because Jordan said he was used to cooking and indeed he had worked as a chef even though he was not long.

But behind that happiness, Mely realized that now everything will change, she could not be as free as ever to spend time with Jordan because now Jordan already has a job.

It hurts a bit for him but of course he has to be patient because this is what they want, for their better future. In one week they could only meet once, and of course Jordan did not change he still took advantage of the moment better, because there are six days of longing and one day of letting go, it feels more special than usual when they can meet on the weekend.

"Mel ko I now don't see you picking up your guy?"

Dewi asked curiously in the middle of their meal break, it was natural there was curiosity in the hearts of his friends, because usually Jordan picked Mely home from work every day but how long they had not seen him.

"He's working now, he's got his own busy life so well. now he can't pick me up like he used to. We also rarely meet, we can only meet once a week on Sundays when he is off work"

"Owh. the fate of our current Mel dong"

Typal Siska, they laughed. Indeed, among the four of them initially only Siska who has a partner after Mely dating Jordan he had been in the bully of Dewi and Ocha because it has become bucin (love slave) because of the work of Mely when the meaning of noon always text Jordan or the phone.

Now Siska and Mely are lucky because Siska can only meet her boyfriend on weekends, of course because they have busy with their respective jobs even though they enjoy it.
