During the trip to the office, Belinda and Arthur did not say much, both of them were compactly silent. Belinda was angry that Arthur had not finished his meal. Arthur struggles with his own feelings. But Belinda could not be in such a situation.
''Why don't you spend my homemade food?'' Belinda still asks Arthur that question.
''I am full.'' Brief Arthur.
''At least I can appreciate my little effort to make you breakfast.'' Say Belinda with a soft voice.
''I ate it and drank the milk. I'd rather have breakfast with rice than with bread.''
''Why didn't you say? What do you usually have breakfast with?''
''I love fried rice with an omelet top that uses chili slices.''
''Oh so. Sorry, I don't know. Because our tastes are different.''
''It looks like we are different.'' Arthur said firmly. I don't know why Arthur's words made Belinda feel sad.
Arriving at the office, Belinda saw Grace who was already standing in front of Arthur's office.
''That's your dark lover waiting, '' said Belinda.
''He's my best friend, not my girlfriend.''
''Friends? Bulshits! There is no pure friendship between a man and a woman.'' Cynical Belinda. Belinda got upset and got out of Arthur's car. He closed Arthur's door, too. Arthur could only sigh. He then got out of his car.
''To Miss! " greet Belinda to Grace who is already standing at the door.
''For Belinda. Why did you get a car with Arthur?''
''Oh, I was nebeng Miss. Because my bike broke down. Accidentally met on the road. Excuse me.'' Obviously Belinda as she passed by with her regret. Arthur also hears Belinda's reasoning to Grace.
''Good morning Arthur.'' Sapa Grace as a chipika-cipiki to Arthur.
''What's up? Why is it so early?'' arthur asked with a flat expression.
''You why? Why is your face so flat? I'm here to bring you breakfast.''
''Yes, maybe too tired. All right, let's go to my room.'' Bring Arthur.
''OK.''
Upon arrival in Arthur's room, Grace sat down on the sofa and opened the lunchbox she was carrying. Arthur also sat down next to Grace. While Belinda chose indifferent and busy with her computer screen.
''Fried rice and your favorite omelet. I woke up early to make you this. But I'm sorry if it doesn't feel the same as it used to.''
''Okay, I'll eat it. Because I haven't had breakfast either.''
''Alright, I'm curious to see your reaction.'' Grace said as she watched Arthur eat.
''How?'' ask Grace.
''Mmmmmmm delicious. It still feels the same.'' Arthur said as he gave his thumbs up to Grace.
''Thank goodness, I'm glad to hear it.''
''Hello Erick! Yes, I'm in the office. You where?'' belinda's loud voice, making Arthur and Grace compact turned towards Belinda.
''All right, I'll be there. Wait yes.'' Belinda ended her call. Belinda got up from her seat and approached Arthur.
''Mr. Arthur, I'm sorry to go out for a minute.'' Belinda said as she passed with a big smile. Arthur just nodded slowly because he was not willing if Belinda left.
''It looks like Miss Belinda and Erick's relationship is getting closer.''
''Mmmm I don't know about that, Grace.''
''I'm sure Erick will soon declare his love for Miss Belinda. I think they're very compatible. What say?''
''Just habitually. I don't interfere too much with his affairs. He was young and his mind was still unstable. So yes definitely his feelings are also uncertain.''
''But I wish they were both. That Miss Belinda may have a more decent life. I also feel sorry for Miss Belinda especially after hearing her story from Erick that Miss Belinda lives in a very small and simple house.''
''It is not necessary to think of them.''
''Oh yeah, what about you? I want to know who the woman you're marrying is.''
''You'll know later too. Next week we'll get engaged.''
''That love will surely come with time. It seems like I have started to feel something different in my heart.''
''Is there no vacancy for me in your heart?'' chirping Grace.
''Grace, please! Don't joke like that anymore. I didn't open any more vacancies and I've closed it.'' Arthur chuckled.
''Well, whatever your choice, I wish you always happy.''
''You also look for a partner. What do you want to look for? Let me help you find him.''
''He loves me like Anthony. When will the advertisement be shown on television? I can't wait to see it.''
''After I finished getting engaged. At once I'll be launching my new recycled product. So make sure you come later.''
''OK, I'll come. Who knows at your engagement show I found my soul mate?''
''Yeah, good idea. Who knows, though.'' Arthur said with a big smile.
Belinda and Erick are sitting together in the garden.
''Thank you, Erick. You're so nice. You shouldn't bother.''
''I didn't bother at all.''
''Thank you, you are very kind and you want to be friends with me sincerely. Moreover, we have only known for a few days but you have been attentive and very good with me.''
''I just follow my heart, Bel. I just want to be close to you. Oh yeah because I'm a photographer, can I take your picture?''
''You want to take a picture of me?''
''Yes.''
''But where? I was eating. My mouth must be this straw sausage.'' Belinda said with a mouth full of food.
''Just so. I want to photograph what you are, Bel.''
''Erick, I look ugly.''
''No Bel, you are very beautiful without thick make up. Comeon! " persuade Erick.
''Okay alright! Must be good yes.''
''Definitely! " And Erick started taking pictures of Belinda. Erick is so good at taking the right picture angle. Although Belinda is eating but the photos are very good. After getting a few shots, Erick showed Belinda his picture.
''Look, Bel. You look natural. You're not even awkward at all. As usual posing.''
''Ah time anyway? I am the origin of movement. But this is also good, photos while eating are so you know. You are indeed great. Even my lips that are smudged look very natural. You are cool.'' Praise Belinda who is satisfied with Erick's shots.
''You are a very unique woman I have known, Bel.''
''Don't make me big-headed, Erick. I'm a crab, spoiled, chatty and stubborn.'' Belinda.
''That's exactly it, I like it all.''
''Only this time there was a man who liked me for who I was. Unlike Brother Arthur who always said I blah blah blah blah. But how? Next week I'm getting engaged to brother Arthur. Where we've been kissing anyway. Well, make me worry.'' Belinda murmured in her heart. Erick took a handkerchief out of his pocket. Belinda was shocked and nervous as Erick touched his chin cleaning his messy mouth due to the leftovers.
''Belinda, reassure your feelings. Who did you choose?'' murmured with heart. Now the two eyes meet. Belinda then coughed and Erick immediately gave Belinda a drink.''
''Thank you.''
''Slow down, Bel.'' Erick said softly.
''Erick, it looks like I need to return to the room immediately. Because there was already Lord Arthur inside.''
''Oh yes, I saw Miss Grace. Is he with Mr Arthur?''
''I-iya. They were having breakfast together. I came back first. Afraid that Lord Arthur is angry. Thanks again, yes.''
''All right, happy work. If it's not busy, how about dinner?''
''Okay, no problem. Bye Erick's! "
''Bye Belinda.''
