Nuance 5 Dara
With Stevan
That afternoon Selvi was losing the mood to do the tasks in her work. Understandably, this is Selvi's first day of monthly guest arrivals.
"It seems stable eating meatballs during the day gini. But later even acne. Ah. bodo very. The important thing is happy," Selvi murmured in her heart.
Soon Selvi pulls out her phone and tries to call Stevan, her personal driver,
📞"Hello mbak Selvi..."
📞"Where are you Stevan?"
📞"Again in minimarket mbak... buy a drink."
📞"Well packed in minimarket, can all nitip not? Please buy me a sanitary pad that's a hello kitty picture..."
📞"Waduh mbak, am I a man, my time is buying monthly equipment women who it? Don't know what brand it is!"
📞"The hell you never bought your partner or boyfriend anyway?)
📞"Sorry mbak Selvi, I happen to be single. Don't have a boyfriend."
📞"Then anyway? Someone as handsome as you don't have a boyfriend? Too picky times..."
📞"No. There's something he likes, but he doesn't know yet. I still dare not express my feelings to him."
📞"Wkwkwkwk. Anyway, you bought me my order earlier. Suppose the boss told his men. If asked her brand Hers. If you buy it, you will come here. Keep me eating."
📞"Okay..."
📞"15 minutes to arrive. I'm hungry already..."
📞"Yes mbak..."
The phone was turned off Selvi. Then he tidied up the files on his messy desk. After that Selvi went out to meet Wati, her secretary.
"Wati, if anyone's looking for me, tell me I'm out. I want to have lunch first" Selvi ordered.
"Well ma'am" replied Wati.
Selvi went downstairs in an elevator and waited for Stevan to arrive in his office lobby.

The promised 15 minutes, Stevan finally showed up.
"Let's go," Stevan asked.
Selvi and Stevan head to the car. Arriving in the car, Selvi asked, "Have my order been purchased?"
"It's gone" Stevan said, handing over Selvi's order.
"So no one's expecting you to buy this?" ask Selvi.
"The cashier must be smiling but mocking me. I'm almost embarrassed" Stevan replied.
"Wkwkwkw. that later you will feel if you have a girl," said Selvi.
"Oh yeah mbak, where are we going to eat?" ask Stevan.
"Find the good meatballs," replied Selvi.
"I don't know the version is delicious" Stevan said.
"I don't want to know anyway. If it's not good, I'll cut your pay. I'm hungry" Selvi said with a little anger.
"Yes mbak" Stevan answered while running the car.
"Emang if the girl again PMS is always right and her selfish exorbitant. Hedeh..." Stevan grumbled in his heart while looking at Selvi's face from the glass inside the car.
"Yes mbak," Stevan answered while concentrating on driving his car and focusing on looking ahead.

After a long drive, finally the car Stevan brought leads to a stall that sells meatballs. The meatball warung that Wati once recommended her secretary. They went inside and ordered food,
"What orders are there mbak and mas?" ask the meat seller.
"I eat meatballs keep drinking his iced tea. You Stevan?" selvi asked Stevan
"I eat meatballs too but don't use the same white noodles as warm tea" Stevan replied.
They also look for a seat and wait for the order to be delivered.
"Oh yeah Stevan, you said earlier, you have a crush on girls but the girls don't know yet. Why don't you know?" ask Selvi.
"I like this girl but have not dared to express..."
"Why?"
"Because I'm afraid this girl doesn't like me" Stevan replied.
"Well if you don't give a signal or pdkt, do you know Stevan's girl" Selvi said.
"Later on mbak. When the time comes, I will reveal everything. Now let me love him in silence" replied Stevan.
"Ntar if it is taken by someone nyesal ntar you," Selvi reminded.
"I still believe that God loves the best couple. The ribs won't be changed even if it takes a good time to find and make it one with us" Steven said.
"OK, but if in reality many people are divorced or many are dating but broke up, how?" ask Selvi.
"Why are so many people divorced? Because they do not ask for the best partner from God. Only rely on physical beauty and worldly treasures. That's why there's a courtship time. Where during the courtship that we know personally a figure that we believe will be a companion to our lives until the end of life," said Stevan.
Selvi felt jolted hearing what Stevan had just said. It turns out not only handsome, but it turns out Steven's thinking is much more mature than him in terms of choosing a partner. Honestly in his heart, Selvi increasingly idolized the man who became his personal driver.
"Lucky chick you're taking on Stevan. Hopefully later you get the best to be your partner," said Selvi.
Soon their orders were delivered and served at their desks. Suddenly Stevan took the iced tea in front of Selvi and replaced it into his warm tea. Selvi became angry,
"Why did you change my drink. If you want iced tea, you should have ordered iced tea" Selvi said angrily.
"I'm sorry before mbak, it was mbak asked me to buy a sanitary pad because mbak again came the month. Well as far as I know, people who again come months, not recommended to drink ice because it can make his stomach cramps and menstruation is not smooth," said Steven.
Selvi fell silent. That's right Stevan said. A girl who again comes the moon if you can avoid drinking ice so that her menstruation smoothly.
"Why do you care about me?" ask Selvi.
Stevan who was drinking his iced tea almost choked hearing Selvi's words just now. Then he said, "I'm sorry. Can come here in good health, his return time became sick. Yes, as a man, it's my duty to take care of my mother even if I'm just a driver."
Selvi was immediately flabbergasted to hear Stevan's explanation. Inwardly, Selvi thought why it was not her loved ones who did that. He is also a personal driver. Even when he told his driver to buy him a sanitary pad at the Minimarket, Stevan wanted to buy it even if he had to endure embarrassment. Selvi is also more amazed by Stevan's personality.
They also eat meatballs that have been ordered earlier. After they finished eating, they went to the cashier to pay for their food. At first Stevan wanted to pay himself, but Selvi refused because he brought food, he was responsible for paying. After they finished, they got into the car to return to Selvi's office.
On the way, Selvi looks at Stevan's face from the rearview mirror inside. He said inwardly, "If Stevan were to be my girlfriend, I might be the happiest man in the world. But he belongs to someone else. Dear God, at least give your servant a girlfriend who is at least Stevan-like. Amen..."
Stevan, who noticed Selvi looking at her, said, "So I was scolding her face. But why is it that I look at me like that?"
Selvi regained her senses and said, "If the boss is up to her. Want me to look at you, look out, that's my right as a boss. In any case if you look at me, you're not focused on driving."
"Yes mbak. Sorry.." said Stevan.
Finally they reached Selvi's office. Soon Selvi went inside and continued her work again.
