My Sweet Roommate's

Surprising news

Want to have lunch together?

Alva had just sent a message to her lover before entering lunchtime. Today, the time is quite free. Usually Alva always has a busy schedule, whether it's skipping lunch, or lunch with clients. But today, he was completely free.

“Pak, want to eat together?” Zea offers something she just sent Joana.

“I have an appointment.” firmly Alva, refused Zea's invitation even though Joana has not responded to his invitation.

Ting.

Ting.

Alva's phone rang a chat notification sign, she flashed a faint smile, grabbing her phone from the table. He mistakenly thinks it was Joana's reply, but it wasn't.

Alva had just read a message she had not expected.

Mama, papa, and grandma leave this afternoon for Jakarta. Probably before afternoon at the airport.

“Hah?!”

Alva screamed in shock, reading the shocking news, her parents and her grandmother would be heading here, from Singapore. Without informing first, but yes at least they have informed before leaving, from pda appeared suddenly at home.

“What's up, sir? something surprising?” Zea must have teased when Alva reacted when the man was shocked and then stared at the screen of his phone.

“Nothing. I have to go.” Still at eleven in the afternoon, Alva pulled out her suit and then put on the original. Can't wait because Joana didn't reply to the message, maybe the woman was busy serving guests, or did not pay attention to the phone at all to not know if Alva sent him a chat.

Alva came out of the elevator, her eyes immediately fixed on the reception desk. There was Joana standing there, talking to someone. I wanted to go, but there were a lot of people around. In the end Alva sat on the sofa in the lobby. Things that he had never done though, during his time in this office, to invite the attention of other employees who passed by.

After making sure a courier who was talking to Joana, had actually left, Alva ventured to approach the woman.

“Good day, there can-“

Joana only felt the presence of someone after she sat back in her chair, without seeing who came, she immediately greeted. And it stopped as he raised his head. Alva is there.

“Joana, I want to talk to you.” Alva spoke very formally because next to Joana was Amanda, the woman's partner.

“Ah Yes Sir, briefly.” Joana instantly understood, she glanced at Amanda at a glance. “Gue out for a minute yes.” His whisper.

Without waiting for Amanda's confused answer, Joana follows Alva's steps.

“We have to go home now, clean up the house, and replace the sofa with a new one.” Yes, even though almost two months have passed, Alva still has not replaced the crown stained grandmother's sofa, Joana's, with a new one. Somehow it felt like he was not willing, for him the sofa was full of memories.

“Granny wants to come home here, Mas?” Joana, who panicked to hear Alva's statement, no longer cares, is now the center of attention when the road goes hand in hand with the big boss.

Indeed, the state of the house is not a mess, it's just that they need to make sure what must be cleaned before the grandmother arrives.

Alva tried to contact her grandmother to make sure. It only takes a few seconds, the call is directly connected.

“Yes, dear grandmother's granddaughter. We are right, yes?” greet grandma there with excitement. “Newly grandma want to contact you.”

“Iya Nek, does grandma really want to come home here?”

“Ya... right, probably three o'clock in the afternoon plane landing, you get along with Joana?”

“I-yes, yes Nek.” a little nervous Alva replied. In fact, not only get along, they already share everything.

“Well, then. Bring Joana shopping! grandma will send a list of foodstuffs that you must buy. Grandma will prepare dinner at home, later tonight we have family dinner.” The grandmother across there.

“Yes, okay, Grandma. I happen to be with Joana again. Send me the shopping notes. Dinner in what order, Grandma?” alva asked curiously, and in what order did his parents come back here? all of a sudden.

“Grandmother also does not know, this is the wish of your mother and father. He said there was something important they wanted to tell you. Rather than eating in a restaurant, it's better to have a granny cook! we eat at home,” explains Nek Merry.

Hearing her name called, Joana was immediately nervous and scared. Why was Alva so brave, saying that they were close together.

“Alright Nek.” feeling Alva is getting raging, he does plan to invite Joana to meet her parents in the near future. Taking the woman to Singapore to see her mother and father, but the time is not right because there are many jobs that she cannot leave.

“What does grandma say?” Joana who had not shifted her eyes from Alva, immediately asked when the call was connected.

“We have to shop for groceries, later tonight my parents have dinner at grandma's house,” explained the man.

“Eum, yes.. but we eat first, right Mas? I'm really hungry.” Joana did not forget that this man had asked her for lunch.

“Before lunch, you are hungry already. As I recall, this morning you also ate fried rice two plates,” said Alva turned to wonder at the woman.

“Yes where do I know. I'm hungry, how? the problem is if I eat two dishes of fried rice. You afraid I'm fat, Mas? da? huh?”

If Joana had answered with such nyolot. Alva better be quiet, the harm is also calling Joana eating fried rice two plates. Until the lover felt insinuated, but he just said what it was. That's what he saw this morning. Joana ate a lot.

“What do you want to eat?” tanya Alva switched the conversation.

“Nasi padang.” replied Joana firmly without hesitation.
