Not as Red as Dusk
rooftop together
ESTA POV
Today was so exhausting. Especially had fallen because of pulled Mr. Nick. Aaaah..Why does he think I want to kill myself? What's he doing at the rofftop? Maybe he stayed in one of the hotel rooms? Could be
Esta's hand grabbed the doorknob. Open it slowly and then turn on some lights. It's quiet tonight.
The hot water in the bathtub is ready. Slowly Esta put her foot in the bathtub. Aaah. The pain in his body seemed to evaporate. The body is back fresh.
After 30 minutes of soaking. Esta's getting out of the bathroom. Take your pajamas and then get ready for bed.
What is Rico doing?
Esta's eyes just closed. Esta's phone rings. As fast as lightning Esta's hand grabbed it.
Source: hi Rico
Rico: you haven't slept?
Esta: not yet
Rico: I must be bothering you
Esta: isn't your skill that
The two laughed together. Esta's face clearly turned red from the shame and longing she had been holding back all this time. Rico too. The look in his eyes radiated a great longing. As if to get out of Esta's phone screen, immediately hugged her lover.
Rik: what about your job?
Esta: as usual, exhausting.
Rico: if I were there, I'd drop you off and pick you up
Esta: someone has done it
Rico: what? who's?
Esta: yamu
They both laughed again.
I missed you, though
Esta: I miss you too
Rico: really?
Esta: do I need to fly there to see you?
Rico: haha. no need. vacation later I plan to go home
Esta: really?
All day long smile decorating Esta's face. Like people overdone.
Ms. Mei: what happened to you?
Est: aaah...Ms. mei kepo
Ms. Mei: you're like an overdone person
Esta: haphazard
Ms. Mei: the customer who often looks for you
Esta: yes?
Miss mei: it's waiting there
Whahuh? Wait out?
Esta's approaching Nick's desk. Producing a menu book.
Esta: it's been an hour here, why not order something
Nick, I just want to be served by you
You have no other job?
Nick: Tom did it all
Location: Tom?
Nick: the guy I've been with a lot
Source: ooh
Ms. Mei called Esta back. Curious because Nick had arrived late afternoon still in the restaurant. Just playing his phone. Sometimes seen making calls.
Ms. mei: is she your boyfriend?
Esta: what?
Miss mei: that guy
Esta: no. she's not my type
Miss mei: really? he was handsome tau. tall strapping.a firm face line.and his eyes were
Why his eyes?
Ms. Mei: the blue really washed away
Esta: that's Ms. Mei who seems to be in love
Esta has her bag. Walk out the employee door. He wants to go to the rooftop. I need a lot of inspiration today.
Nick: I'm taking you home
Esta's heart almost jumped out of place. Many times his hands rubbed his chest in surprise. Really am. Looks like Mr. Nick is lacking a job.
A luxury car takes Esta and Nick to the building where Esta works.
I saw Nick's car from the beginning. Esta has guessed surely Nick is not a random person.
Nick: what are you doing in that place?
Esta: looking for inspiration
Nick: why that building? I mean, there are a lot of other buildings
Because I work there
Hearing Esta's reply, Nick spontaneously turned to her. Looking at you in disbelief. There was no way this girl would do two jobs at once.
Esta seemed to understand Nick's face. He smiled and then explained.
I work in one of the boutiques in the shopping center there
Nick: but. restaurant?
Esta: I only do it at night. during the day at the boutique
Nick: but today?
Today I am off at the boutique, so I leave early in the morning
Nick nodded slowly. Understand Esta's explanation.
Nick: why work so hard?
Esta: for tuition fees
Nick: college? are there many scholarship programs?
Esta smiled back. His head shook slowly and then stepped out of the elevator. Walk to the rooftop. Nick was in the back.
Esta: unfortunately, the scholarship never sided with me
