It's funny to see him nervous about falling asleep. I just had a casual conversation, as if not to let her fall asleep, so that she would not feel ashamed. Shortly after he got permission to go to the toilet, he came back in a slightly nervous voice and stood in front of my desk.
“One more time I'm sorry.” He said without seeing my face.
“Please sit.” I answered with an intense look.
We sat facing each other, and finally our eyes met. Round eyes with plump eyelashes, a small nose and natural red lips, she was really very adorable.
“You need what bu teacher come to my office?” my question was relaxed with a flat voice hiding the turmoil of my chest.
“Sorry sir, I came to the father's office to submit an application proposal for a charity event that we will host at the school.” He said as he gave the proposal he had in his hand and placed it in front of me.
“According to the teacher, do I look old?”
“Meanour father?” his forehead was surprised by my question.
“If it's not wrong, yesterday when we met, you didn't call me that.”
“Sorry Mr. Verel, I did not know that you are the CEO of this company.” Saying back.
“Pardon me if my words are not pleasing to your heart.” He said with a look of fear.
Why is he always apologizing.
I didn't answer or respond to his words, I took the proposal he handed me. I asked him a few questions about the event. The various plans he had put together with his proposal were so interesting. His polite and convincing style of speech, so I think he deserves to be the school's representative really he's a warm person, talking to him makes me forget the time.
“Then I say resign pak” said when it was felt he was enough to express the purpose of his arrival in my office.
“Good, please”
“Once again I say thank you”
After shaking hands, he finally walked out of my room. I took a deep breath to normalize my heartbeat. Though I breathe with my lungs, but why my heart feels tight? I loosened my chest that was suffocating my neck. Dealing with him was more difficult than
meet with investors.
Why don't I offer to go home together or buy him a meal or just a coffee? He must have been starving because he was waiting for me from noon. I murmured in my heart. But my ego is bigger than my courage. It's too embarrassing to approach him this soon.
“Bu Joana, is my agenda today done?” ask me over the phone to call my secretary.
“It's done pak”
I decided to get out of the office immediately, and it was still a nice afternoon to get home before late at night. I drive my car out of the parking lot of my company building, I always bring my own car without a private driver. The streets of the capital had already begun to be crowded with private vehicles that might be the same as me, towards their respective homes after finishing work.

Tired of it today, after coming out of that building owned by Verel, I bought a cup of coffee and a piece of bread in a shop near the stop to prop up my tummy . These few days my life feels full
surprise and is this just a coincidence. I was so hungry my brain thought a lot.
It turned out that Verel was not as cold as the first meeting, even we were able to chat a lot. Several times I also saw him smiling, which made my heart seem to escape from the nest.
Ddrrr…
My phone vibrated the sign of incoming messages. Geez I forgot my mother, from noon I have not told her. It seems like I'm going to be a little late, and I'm still at the bus stop sitting down and occasionally drinking the coffee I bought earlier.
Suddenly the sound of the car horn surprised me, it turned out in front of me had stopped a car and before long the glass window was open. It's obvious who's in there. I feel hypnotized, just heard the word “ayo enter” from inside the car. Back I was surprised because of the sound of the bus horn that would stop at the stop
blocked by the car in front of me.
With a quick step I immediately got into the car and sat beside the steering wheel.
“I think the teacher has come home from earlier”
“I stopped by for a while to buy coffee pak” answered me while showing the coffee I still hold.
I replied, but there was no reply from Mr. Verel. Yeah, now I'm with Mr. Verel back after a few minutes before we say goodbye. I don't know why I didn't refuse his invitation. Why are we back in nervous mode again, when we had a lot of conversation.
“Eehmm..thank you sir, sorry to bother.”
I break the silence.
“Make teacher's mom,..ehmm”
I turned to her who was driving and waited for her sentence to be cut off.
“I think our age is not much different”
“Lantas why sir?”
“May bu guru call me Verel or Aidan course” he said casually
Why does she want me to just call her name without “pak” when she herself calls me teacher's mom, huhhh..
Before answering her request, why did my vision suddenly turn yellow, and there was bad sweat around my forehead and neck. I closed my eyes to keep my body balanced. And I think there was a hand on my forehead, and a car pulled over on the side of the road.
“What is the teacher's mom okay?”
I opened my eyes and was shocked because we were so close and I saw the panicked face of Mr. Verel.
Then the car went back and stopped at one of the restaurants.
“lho, why are we here sir?”
“Already come down, accompany me to eat. I'm sure you haven't eaten anything since this afternoon.”
I also came down with a feeling of embarrassment, surely Mr. Verel knew that I was lager so much that it came out in cold sweat, and it was his fault that I had not eaten and even drank coffee. If you know it must be nagging. Aarrgh.maluu…
“What do you eat?”
“What's pak”
“Drink?”
“Lemon tea aja”
Then Mr. Verel ordered a meal for both of us.
I dreamt that I could eat with him, just the two of you. It feels like I want to stop for a while, let it continue with him. But with him continue to be good for health, my heart pounding is not normal.
After we finished our meal, we immediately went home. It was almost night time when I got home.
“Thanks sir for...” Mr. Verel cut my words.
“Aidan..call me Aidan”.
“But sir..”.
“No but-but” the answer is firm
“What if Kak Aidan?”
“Hhmmm.. okay lah” the answer is a little forced.
We returned to the silent atmosphere until we reached my house.
“Ehmm, sir Brother Aidan thank you for everything” said I was nervous while opening the car door.
“My teacher didn't ask me to stop by?”
“Hah.”
“I mean please kak”
Turns out the heart sport still continues, why would he want to stop by everything?
Soon I opened the gate and she followed me from behind.
“Assalamualaikum” said I entered the house
“Waalaikumsalam” mother answered my greetings with stammering and astonished face.
I kissed my mother's hand on the tail with Aidan kissing my mother's hand.
“Bun, this is Brother Aidan his son Aunt Vera”
“Goodnight aunt” says aidan
“It turns out that Bu Vera has a handsome son ya” said mother with a look of admiration.
“Yuks, enter first we chat in”
“Still aunty, Aidan want to go straight away. Aidan stopped by again” sometime
“lho ko rush”
“You know, Nadia until home”
“Nothing tan, all through aja” replied Aidan friendly
“Definitely today Nadia ngerepotin nak Aidan huh? This recalcitrant auntie son, finished drinking coffee would like to make people panic.” Bright mother while looking at the coffee glass that I still hold
“Bundaa..” I replied embarrassed.
Aidan simply replied by letting out his expensive smile, making people claustrophobic
Finally Aidan's car disappeared from our sight, after he left home.
“Wah it looks like someone will confide in the mother until late malem nih” goda mother
“Gak bun, Nadia wants a break. He will guess later aj”
Immediately I ran away leaving the mother who continued to tease. I jumped on the mattress and rolled around the sampir holding back a laugh. Why is this so happy today? Time to take a shower, and go to sleep.
