Paper Dove

BARBARIAN

Currently. . .

I stared at the small house in front of me. The hotel project I was going to build had its constraints because one of the landowners did not want to sell us the land. 

“Hard-headed once old grandpa was. Why should his land be in the middle of another land”, I dropped a cigarette butt onto the ground and stepped on it with my shoes.

“ The grandfather will sell his land if his grandson is married", Doni replied to the henchman.

“ What kind of conditions is that? If his grandson does not want to marry until he dies how?”, I am upset to hear that illogical reason. 

Doni just kept silent at my words. I walked into the grounds of the little house and looked around. A small house that is quite decent, neat and a small garden arranged in such a way as to be beautiful to look at, quite decent in my opinion. Doni knocked on the door slowly, lapse how long a woman about 25 years old out. Her face looks ayu, her skin is brown, her hair is long as her back, her eyelashes look very pliable, her height is about as much as mine.

“ Find who huh?”, the woman asks.

“ We are from High miss company. Mr is?”, Doni asked politely.

The woman's face turned sour. “ Grandpa left, what do you want?”, he asked ketus.

Doni was still smiling kindly, I stood a little away from Doni without showing any interest.  “ We would like to meet Mr. Darma”, Doni conveyed our intention of arrival politely.

“ Grandpa go to posyandu elderly. If you want there then let all of you check, like your ears have a problem”, the woman replied jutek. 

I laughed at his words “ Wah, belagu once you”.

The woman looks at me sharply, dislikes it like it with my words. “ you better just go home. Before my emotional axis gets shorter”, the woman ignores me and is about to go back in the house.

“ You want how much money? just a patch of land like this makes us dizzy. We'll give you whatever you want. But please don't make it difficult for us”, I spoke in a threatening heavy voice. 

“ Hah.”, the woman seemed to not believe my words. “ wait a moment here yes. I got her land letter”, the woman spoke slowly and went inside the house. 

Doni looks at me wonder “ Kok easy once ya”.

“ Maybe he's afraid of me”, I said a little cocky.

Suddenly the woman came out of the side door with a water hose and without warning she sprayed the water on me and Doni, especially me.

“ Money? wah this arrogant master has never been taught a lesson ya”, The woman was babbling.

“ Hey what are you doing”, I screamed because of the water that soaked my body.

Doni as perplexed as I am “ Miss Stop”, Doni yells.

“ Feel the arrogant man ha ha ha ha”, the woman laughs in satisfaction. 

I who was soaked began to ignite emotions “ Kau”, I took a few steps forward towards him. Feeling threatened he pointed the hose right in my face, I coughed at it. Doni quickly pulled me away from that place. 

“ You.. watch out for you. jerk woman... wait for my revenge”, I yell annoyed at seeing that woman laughs with pleasure.

“ Already sir. Let's get in mobil”, Doni forced me into the car and he quickly drove the car away from the cursed place.

“ Wow... I'll reply you later. I'm gonna kick you out of that house”, I'm nagging myself.

Doni came into my room with a new suit. He's been very neat. “ Sir you”.

“ Doni I'll work from here. All meetings with directors switch to online ”, I said in passing. 

“ Well tuan”, Doni replied quickly and hung up the suit. 

“ Doni.. find out all about that barbarian woman and immediately bring it to me”, I said coldly.

“ Good sir”, Doni replied then left my room to prepare everything I asked of her. 

“ Women bar-bar do not know themselves. I'll reply you”, I smile coldly. 

All day long I wasn't focused on my job. I thought of the bar-bar woman, considering her laughter made my blood boil. I called Doni “ Which file I requested. Bring it to my room now”, I give the order and hang up.

I stood up and sipped my drink. Staring out of the hotel through the balcony window. It's been three months since I tried to forget it, busy myself in my work and shut down all the news about it. Several times I met Nandes for a job but I tried to be professional without digging anything out of him. As for Adam he remains my best friend, we often met without discussing anything about Dew. And of course Elsa hates me so much because I hurt her best friend, I understand that. 

Doni came into my room and put a document on the table. I sat down and opened the document. A profile sheet with a photo fitting plastered there. 

“ Jeni? her name is too good than her bad behavior”, I scoffed. “ flower couplers?”, I looked at Doni.

“ Miss Jeni has a flower shop master. Actually Grandpa Darma is the uncle of Miss Jeni's father. Miss chose to leave the house because of a problem of the master's family and live in an apartment. Her mother is currently the stepmother of Miss Jeni, doing arbitrary things to her and driving the lady out of the house. It seems like yesterday the lady was visiting Darmawan” grandfather's house, Doni explained at length. 

I looked at Doni not like “ You find out his life to marry him?”, I sniffed.

Doni bowed respectfully, knowing that I was upset. I put that file on the table. “ Now is the day of vengeance. Order flowers from her shop and make her deliver the flowers to me with her own feet”, I smile cunningly.

“ Good sir will I do”, Doni bend then leave the room.

“ Jeni I will make you wet with your tears and beg for mercy on me. Just wait ha ha”, I downed the drink in the glass happily. 

***

The day of vengeance has come. Doni arranged the way for Jeni to come and deliver the flowers to my room. I dressed neatly but casually, put a Role* clock on the table. Someone knocked on the door slowly, I stared out the window looking at the slightly overcast afternoon weather.

Doni opens the door, a hotel maid enters with Jeni behind her carrying a large bouquet of flowers. He seemed to be a little troubled and did not pay much attention to Doni's whereabouts. Doni quickly walked out of the room followed by the hotel maid, the door closed from the outside.

“ Sir, here's your flower bouquet. Where should I put?”, Jeni speaking from behind that big bouquet of flowers”.

“ Just put it on the table”, I speak with my baritone voice. I faced towards her, watching her place the flower with great difficulty. 

“ Thanks for ordering in our store. May day...”, Jeni stops talking when she sees me. “ you, arrogant lord. Why are you here?”, he looks confused.

“ Me? I want to take revenge on you for what you did yesterday”, I look at him sharply.

Jeni widened her eyes and turned to run towards the door. He tried to open the locked door. I quickly stepped towards him and gave a narrow distance between us. “ Where are you going bar-bar lady? Now receive vengeance from me”, I look at him coldly.
