“Ko, how long have you known? How long is Koko in Indo?”
“7 years. Get to know him probably about only 4 years ago.” He told me eventually too.
“Single parent Yes Ko.”
“Iya.” Koko's answer is short. I hope Lisa's sister is okay, but maybe they live enough, they already have a good life.
“Why? Do you care about Koko ugly?”
“Engga. It's just that someone's heartbroken. Love claps his rich hand. Tegaan lu emang Ko..” he smiles.
“I've spoken in front, actually until we have no future. Not a false hope love to him.”
“Ya-ya-ya, I just say kasian, actually I sympathize with all my rich single parents, they are all great women. My friend in the office is also a single parent. So Dad and Mom at once, they were great Ko.”
“Iya, they're great.”
Along the way we were silent with each other's thoughts. I have no problem sitting without talking like this, if you are used to and comfortable with someone, then sitting without talking will not feel awkward. I thought it was strange that I could reach this stage with Ko Derrick, when we rarely met, but I just believed in him.
“You really don't want to move to HK?”
“Gak. Papa told Koko to talk to me right.”
“Papa you're worried. Maybe if asked to your Mama, maybe he will say that you come with Papa, for life he tried to get you better with Papa.”
“Entahlah may not be Ko yet. Maybe later, don't know look. I’m just fine. Thanks Ko. I never had Koko, but Ko Derrick is already rich gini family, I owe Koko.”
“Wanna hug mui-mui (female sister)?” She smiles. Koko never touched me, only held my hand the most, but now she offers a hug.
“Tar Lisa angry, I hug her property.”
“Thanks Ko.” It feels good to have someone who can offer you a hug. Too comfortable even, all these years only Mama hugged me, now this kind-hearted Koko.

Andrew was trying to get me to talk because he had my cell phone number. But I can't shake the feeling I'm targeted. Plus there was another person who also asked me to do their company ad for knowing Papa. This one's called Benny.
Contrary to Andrew who is quite polite, Benny is flamboyant and without shady aling-aling.
“Nita, we've met at the funeral home. Remember me?” After the team meeting I was invited to speak in his room in private. This case is more handsome than Andrew if dibandingin, no wonder his style PD.
“You are so many Mr. Benny, I have forgotten a lot.”
“Call Benny only, should our age be different not too far, I 34.”
“Ohh same..”.
“Oh yes, I think you are still around 27 or 28.”
“Keep the guess yes.”
“That means you are young.” I smiled and responded. “You have dinner no. Chitchat? Watching it? Streets.” Jump on the road, this one is very PD he will no one refuse.
“I have to go back to the office there is still this abis work in production. Maybe next time yes Ben..”
“Ohh yes next time. We'll call again, okay? You seem to be very busy.”
“Iya. Next time.” I somehow always automatically refuse for the same reason. I feel afraid to say it. Something that makes me insecure and reluctant. Maybe the bad experience of being almost given drugs by Marcello affected me.
Finally I had to agree to a lunch appointment for the smooth running of the project, I thought lunch was at least two hours not until I could still escape. This time with Andrew who seemed more calm. It seems he's not dangerous.
