Not Glass Cans

Not Glass Cans
17. Birthday Invitation



"Hurry, El..!!!" Garrick's screams ended my call in the mirror of the ship's booth. Although the shrillness did not make me satisfied looking at the self that I felt was too late perfect with my credit dress, but the fierce shrill was quite slow to call out to me. I had time to slip, polishing myself into the incarnation of the goddess as beautiful as possible. Alay..??! hi.hi.hi's search..


"Don't be too slow, El..!!" Garrick cut off my eyes with me through his bigger drive. It was real that I came out of the room while he was locking the door and turned around to find me with both of his swords. Bah...no problem!


I rushed to get my shoes, I placed them right in front of his two big toes. I'm going to the kitchen for a second.


"Guild, El..!" I did his orders without rebuttal, this is one of my forms of service for him. Pay three times the salary is still my encouragement. Isn't a week not a long time?


"El..! Take my suit in the room, bring it!" Garrick exclaimed from the kitchen, throwing his keys at me.


I took the black coat on the bed and immediately went out to carry it. So the pretty tail is trailing behind. Garrick has stepped out through the main door.


Garrick used the elevator to get down to the hull. We stand next to each other, only both of us are users in it. Quiet and awkward I feel, if present Dora I think more comfortable.


I looked at Garrick in the silent reflection of the silver lift wall. The fierce and fierce boss who stood gallantly in front of this was actually too charismatic.More with a long tie white shirt on his chest, Garrick looks so cool. Like executive figures or super stars in comics that I used to read a lot.


My eyes are creeping up my face. The cresses!! Duh, boss! I found Garrick staring at me, too. Our eyes flashed in the shadow on the elevator wall for quite a while. Remember getting snapped, I broke my gaze into my beautiful legs that were partially visible below. Light gray dress that is very suitable attached to this body, does show bright legs and hands.


"Lift will explode, El..!!" Garrick suddenly exclaimed beside me.


"What's!? I haven't married boss!!!" Between the broken hearts, I remembered my sin on my mother.


"So you want to get married?! Hurry up and go home!!" Garrick pointed at me with his chin. Like I'm just a cheap thing.


I realized, the elevator was going to explode was a fake scream. I regret the mouth that voiced one of my many problems. I growled at the stone face man beside me.


"No need to go home! If I wanted to, I could marry anywhere, anyone I wanted?!" I said out loud, on my tiptoes in his ears. I was so infuriated beyond measure. I heard Garrick laughing in my ear. What's so funny?!


"Are you a bum?! Or are you a street cat?! Marry carelessly!!" Garrick bowed a little in my ear, his voice very soft but rough painful. His laughter had run out in his grin.


Move up!! The elevator was open, Garrick walked out, no choice, I was faithful to follow the pace behind. A long street with no end. Garrick suddenly stopped at the door beside us, the passageway still looked very long. I put my feet in place, with super-sticky disc brakes. If it fails, I will hit it like a fictional scene in the soap opera.


In the small space behind the door, several neatly lined chairs appeared empty. Garrick was standing in one corner. Let me, I don't go with him, it's gonna go wrong. I take one bottle of mineral water that is widely available neatly arranged also on the wall edge table, then drink it.


"Guest..!!" Someone called.


It turned out that Irgi, there were some friends standing beside and behind him. There were four people, five with Irgi. I gave them the sweetest smile.


"It's true it's you, Elsi! I think the city artist who was invited as a guest star on this show." Irgi seemed happy to know my truth. Her eyes warmly watched me.


"Actually what is this show, Gi?" I dared to ask Irgi, because I too wanted to understand.


"The birthday party ceremony of one of the VVIP travelers of this ship. I was paid to operate a musical instrument, accompanying the artist of the Batam city invitation singer. Although the local city artist, quite paid handsomely, that Dinda!" Irgi was very friendly to me, I started to like his attitude. Uh, what was his name... The dinda?! Ha.ha.coincidence!


"Huh.ha.ha..Si, who knows you'll be as famous as him." Irgi and his friends were still smiling looking at me.


Not yet had time to agree, the door was open, saw Dora appear inside. Dora looked at me as well at Irgi and the friends full of probing. Dora nods lightly at Irgi and friends. But not against me.


Dora approaches Garrick in the corner. They seemed to greet each other with warmth. But to me, their smiles are full of falsehoods.


"Hey, Elsi.wasn't that man with you that night?" Irgi half whispered in my ear. I'm nodding.


"He's bossku. I'm lackey. Garrick's name." I whispered to Irgi, apparently he memorized Garrick's face.


"Then, what does this have to do with Grace?" Apparently Irgi knew Dora's real name.


"It's like they're in a relationship. Who is Graceful?" I whispered very softly to Irgi.


"Princess of the mayor of Batam." The irgi hissed softly in my ear. Apparently, the name and figure of Dora is quite famous in his city.


"Is he single?" I continued whispering with Irgi. I'm curious.


"I don't know, Si. He was 29 years old, his life was closed. Actually, the Anggun family lives in a complex with me." Irgi said softly while allowing the guitar strap stuck on his shoulder. Then he said in his normal voice.


"You come with me Si, join us at our table. Besides us, there are some semeja friends inside." Irgi said to offer me, it seems earnest. His relaxed voice sounded throughout the waiting room.


"El..!" A heavy and big voice called out to me. That must be my garage boss, Garrick.


"Yes bossku! What's up?" I don't speak loud or loud. My voice is loud but not crisp. I take care of my good name and bring my master in front of them.


"Take out your ticket, bring my suit inside." Garrick spoke to see me, his voice flat offsetting my voice. It just feels uncomfortable at all in the heart. Garrick is masked depending on the situation and conditions.


"Good, boss." I have to obey him without any kind of perspective. I follow Garrick and Dora who will pass through an entrance to the show's core room.


"Si, if you can, visit my desk!" I looked at Irgi with a sincere smile and a nod of my head.


A man in a butterfly, welcoming Garrick and Dora. The two followed the man to a large table and sat there. I stood awkwardly, better given a million jobs, than silence went awry with no direction and no orders.


"Do you need the service of the master?" Another man with a bow tie approached Garrick and Dora.


"No, I brought my own servant." Garrick said flatly to the butterfly officer, then looked at me for a glance. The man nodded and went to another table.


So many tables and chairs are arranged for the guests who attend this party. But Garrick's desk is located a little away from those tables. And it looks the widest and largest than the entire table. Then what is the difference and for whom is this big table?Wait, you know the reason more clearly!
