After finishing with part-time work at Mateo's food stall, Lova had to rush to other workplaces.
His phone kept ringing. The owner of the tavern kept calling and saying that Lova should arrive before nine p.m.
About it; boss Lova said that their store will entertain all employees of a company. And the store is already on full booking to hold a welcoming party for a young CEO.
To Lova's astonishment, why would a CEO have to throw a welcoming party at a middle-class tavern? not usually they will do it in luxury hotels, or in a five-star restaurant, or maybe an elite night club in the heart of the city.
So why a regular tavern? is it just a CEO of a regular company? Whatever it is, Lova hopes not to be too exhausting. Because all day long, he felt that his work was too much.
''You're leaving now?"
Ken intercepts in front of Lova. Whether it's day to day, Ken is lazy to count; for sure every night Ken always accompanies Lova to walk up to the girl's workplace.
At first Lova always felt awkward with the existence of Ken, but now she was quite used to seeing the man who always suddenly appeared before her.
''Hmmm. I'm going to leave now. They've been waiting for me. I didn't even get to eat anything because of this call.'' Lova complained to Ken.
''Let me bring your bag.''
Ken snatches a small backpack from Lova's hand, the bag Lova always carries while working.
''Thank you.- Don't you have a morning class tomorrow? you can go straight home after you take me. Don't come home late, or Leon will always complain about you to me. I feel guilty for making you always accompany me like this.'' said Lova, feeling condolences for Ken's treatment.
''It wasn't just me-'' Ken replied, pursing his lips smiling at Lova.
''You mean?"
Ken touched the soft top of Lova's head, and pressed her for a moment; What in your head is just thinking about work and making money? you also take the same course tomorrow, and you remember, you are not allowed to be late!'' Ken reminded Lova.
''Ah-the lecturer killer! I almost forgot.'' The girl patted her head too. Makes Ken smile again.
''Go first, I want to go to the supermarket for a while.'' Ken told Lova, then ran across the street.
Lova also just obeyed Ken's words obediently. He walked at moderate speed while waiting for Ken to get out of the supermarket. Meanwhile, his phone rang again.
''Yes, I'm on my way to the store. I'll arrive in ten minutes.'' she said, then closed the call.
Lova looked at the supermarket, where Ken had disappeared, but the man had not yet come out of there, while Lova had to get to the tavern as soon as she got to, she thought again as she continued walking.
''Ken, why did you take so long...?"
Lova tried to call Ken's phone, but the phone was not picked up. Lova kept looking back, but Ken wasn't seen yet,
''Ken, I'm sorry. I have to get to the store soon. Thank you for tonight.''
Lova sent Ken a text message. Lova couldn't wait any longer.
...In the supermarket.....
Ken bought some bread and drinks for Lova. Earlier, the girl said that she had not had time to eat anything. Ken was only worried if anything happened to Lova, let alone the girl was too imporse herself in work.
When Ken got out of the supermarket, he did not find Lova around. Then Ken ran back, but until he arrived in front of the store, the girl could not follow up either. It seems like it's too late.
''Hopefully Lova did not starve while working.''
In a store that is already quite crowded by guests, Lova also does her job very well. Although at this time his stomach also feels quite sore. In the previous store, Lova was so busy, that she forgot to fill her stomach.
While in the tavern, there are no delicious foods to eat, other than just a variety of snacks that are always provided as a companion drink.
Amidst the ongoing event, a man of not too high stature stood raising a glass in his hand inviting his colleagues to toast, making the event more crowded.
Lova only watched the back of the man from a distance.
''The ceremony was so festive. It would be great to join the same company as them." muttered Lova as she continued to replace the empty beer bottles from the table of the guests.
''Hey-You're here?'' William suddenly stood behind Lova. ''Hmmm. Yep. Work.--I mean I'm working.'' replied Lova who felt a little shocked because of William's greeting.
''I can see. You are a very busy girl, replied William, smiling again.
''You're part of this entourage sir?"- ''William.'' said William immediately correcting Lova's call.
''Ah, yes, you. I mean, William.''
''Hmm. You're right. I'm coming with this group. It turns out you work here too, I guess only in the shop before.''
''Yes, that's it. O'ya I'm sorry will. I have to go back to work.'' said Lova, then leave William who is still standing in his place.
''Hei, Lova-said Willi called the girl until she turned towards him. ''I'll take you home.''
Lova ignored William's words, but to maintain her modesty, she nodded her head.
Time is one o'clock at night, which means Lova's working hours are over. After changing her work clothes, Lova was busy looking for where she put her backpack.
''oh, God, Lova. How could you be so careless!'' nagging her to yourself.
After searching all over the place, Lova also did not find where the last time she left her bag. He finally decided to go home. He took his way through the side door. Doors that no one else knows, other than the owner and also other store employees.
''Ahh.. you finally came out too.'' cried Ken, not far from the door.
How shocked Lova was to see Ken there. At night, it's still cold enough for someone to wait outside at these hours.
''Ken what are you..?"
Lova immediately walked over to Ken, and held onto the man's hand which currently felt so cold. ''Why are you waiting for me here? it's so cold in here. Look at you, you want to freeze to death here?" Lova rubbed Ken's hand, and blew it, to get warmer, Lova almost cried when she saw Ken's body shaking from the cold.
Ken was happy to see Lova worried about him. ''Should I do it every day?''
''Why smile? do you really want to freeze to death?" pissed Lova. How ridiculous was the young man who was in front of him at this moment.
''You can hug me if you want, I'm really cold said Ken, teasing Lova.
And wow, that was a shock to Ken. The girl actually hugged him, even very tightly.
''Don't do anything like this again Ken. If anything happens to you, you could freeze and get sick. If that happens, how should I pay your hospital fees. That must be very expensive.'' Complain Lova.
''Is that a concern? or..?"
''All right, all right, I'm sorry. I just want to give this back.'' Ken handed Lova's bag.
''This is on you? I deserve not to find him anywhere. Are you waiting for me just because of this?'' asked Lova again, with an adorable face.
''Yups. Doesn't it contain all your treasures, miss?''
''So just because of the contents you waited for me until almost freeze to death?"
''Hei-why do you always look surprised like that. You look so adorable!'' Ken pinched Lova's cheek.
''Looks like your brain is indeed troubled Ken, we should go to the doctor immediately!'' Lova pulls Ken's hand. ''But the fee you pay for yourself - my money will not pay enough for the doctor's fee, I will pay for your medicine only.'' said the girl solemnly.
''Hey, slow down the road. I'm okay,- prevent Ken from slowing Lova down. ''Like this.'' said Ken while holding Lova's hand.
''We stopped there, you haven't eaten anything, have you?''
Lova nodded her head.
''Basic sloppy girl!''
''Aww. it hurts!'' lova said complaining, because Ken just caught his head slowly.
''I'm sorry.- what's that hurt?"
Lova turned around to do the same to Ken.
''Aww.. Did you repay me?"
''Feel it, you deserve it!'' exclaim Lova, then run.
''Lova! stop there!'' remember Ken, but the girl ignored Ken's words.
''This girl. ahh. adorable!''
After finishing buying Burger and Cola, Ken and Lova enjoyed their meal while walking home. ''Thank you for the food Ken, it's so good.'' said Lova while enjoying the food in her hands-O, yes you just take a taxi home. I'll pay for you.''
''No need. Just keep your money. You need it too.'' reject Ken.
''Then what about you? wouldn't it be too far if you walked back from here? I don't like you rejecting me. Anyway you should get home in a taxi. You can get sick!'' lova insisted.
''All right, hardworking lady. I'll take a cab, but save your money. I can pay for my cab, thanks. You're gonna go up, and rest, and tomorrow we're gonna have to go in the morning, aren't you?"
''Ah-Yes yes, you are right. Then I will wait here until you take a taxi.'' said Lova.
It turned out that the two did not need to wait long, the taxi waiting was now stopped in front of them.
''Now come in. I'll go now.'' Pinta Ken.
''Hmmm. Be careful on the road.'' Lova waved her hand.
''I'll call you once I get to the apartment, bye.''
''All right. good night.''
At 2:30 in the morning, Ken just arrived at the apartment. All the lights have even been extinguished like, Leon is also asleep.
When he was in the pot, Ken immediately charged the battery of his phone that had been empty, while he changed his clothes with warmer clothes.
After the phone was filled up enough, Ken immediately contacted Lova, but the girl did not pick up her phone. Like he's asleep.
''I have arrived home. Good night, sweet dream L..''
To esokan day...
At eight in the morning, Ken was waiting for Lova in front of the girl's apartment. He deliberately invited Lova to not be late to class. The girl has a little habit of being late and constantly getting lost when looking for a space that is always moving.
''Good morning..''
Sapa Ken when he saw Lova coming out of the alley of his apartment.
''You're here? it was early in the morning, sir.'' Lova greeted Ken.
''Are you all right? no fever?"
''Well, do I have to do it every night? I like it when you're worried like this.'' replied Ken.
''Then I will kill you!''
''You are so cruel L.. ''
...Arrive at the campus.....
''Yo-yo! You guys have come?- Good morning Lova.'' hello Leon when you meet the two.
''Good morning Leon.- You have morning class too?" Sapa Lova's.
''Yups, thats. O, yes, did this young master already tell you-I-like-you?'' leon whispered in Indonesian.
''What does that mean?'' ask Lova.
''Don't bother Lova Leon!'' Ken pushes Leon away from Lova.
''Casual sob. I just want to ngajarin Lova doang. don't need to be jealous that time.'' ridicule Leon on his best friend.
Lova who did not understand what the two were talking about could only smile.
''Don't listen to him L. We'd better get to class now.'' Ken said holding Lova's hand.
''Leon went to class first.'' said Lova, while following Ken.
''Yes yes, just go, good luck Leon exclaimed with a smile looking at the two.
Since meeting with Lova, Leon felt that Ken had changed a lot. Her best friend was no longer as me before. Ken is even more expressionless, and it makes Leon feel quite happy to see Ken as he is now.
''I hope you are happy now.. You are also far away there, I miss you.''
