Pursuing Simple Male Love

Chapter 21 Surprised

This morning, Farel left for the boutique on foot. If you say is it far away? Very far. Farel's forehead was flooded with sweat, due to the scorching sun.

Wanted to board public transport, but Farel's money was up. He had to wait for payday first, to be able to ride the transport.

"Oh!"  Farel wiped his sweat with his arm. His throat was dry, he wanted to buy a drink. But there is no money, to take public transport alone can not.

Farel looked at the clock on his wrist, now it was showing nine o'clock. The clock was a gift from his father when he was ranked number one in Junior High School. So, that clock was a long time ago.

Farel ran towards the store. He panicked when the clock had crossed with the clock entering him. It's gonna be late.

Arriving in front of the store, Farel managed his breathing that was already irregular due to running. He held his chest up and down. When his breathing was in order, Farel opened the door of his shop.

In the store, there were many customers. All his friends who were employees worked to serve customers well, Farel saw the clock on his wrist again. And apparently, he was late.

Farel headed to the cashier's table, as he worked as a cashier. There, his chair was already occupied by his employer with many customers waiting in line to pay.

Farel grimaced, he would definitely be in a rage from being late. Farel walked towards the cashier's desk.

"Excuse me, Mister. Let me just, Sir. I'm sorry I'm late" Farel said with his head lowered. 

Farel's employer, who was serving customers, turned to Farel.

"It's okay, Farel. Please continue, yes."

Farel nodded. Of course he will continue, this has become his duty. Farel sat in a chair when his master stood up. He put his bag on the chair next to him.

"Farel, later after this you're done to my room, yes."

Farel nodded. But in his brain he thought what was the matter of his master telling him to come to his room? Was there a mistake he made? Or is there something important that you want to talk to her about? 

Farel's mind branched out thinking of many things. But the important thing is not to get fired, right?

"Mas, please yes, my groceries are fast totalin," said the front customer protested, because he saw Farel was just silently dumbfounded without doing work.

Farel's body jolted, he forgot if he was serving customers. He apologized and took his job.

"Sorry, yeah. This is the total of everything" said Farel showed the nominal number.

The customer just nodded, he took money out of his wallet to pay for his clothes. 

"Thank you for shopping at our store."

Farel finished his job well, he did not want to make mistakes that upset customers. 

Meeting Aurel again while he was looking for his brother, Farel was once again fascinated with the girl. The girl who, smiling, had a hole in her cheek, fascinated Farel when he looked at her, as if she had the power to attract her attention.

However, every time he saw the clothes worn or the place Aurel visited. Farel often felt inferior when he met Aurel. The girl looks luxurious even with simple clothes.

Farel wanted to express his taste, but he also had to make sure this feeling was just curious or not. Other than that, Farel had other reasons. Their caste differences. It's gonna be hard.

After he finished serving all the customers, Farel cleaned his cashier table. At his employer's behest, Farel went into the room after finishing his job.

"Sister, I'll drop the job first, okay? Who knows if there will be customers later, because I was told by you to go to his room" said Farel asked for help to his workmates.

"Yes, you go to the master's room. I'll replace you while you're there,"

"Lake in!"

There was a voice of command from inside the room. Farel opened the door of the room slowly, he went inside.

"Sit down!" tell her employer to sit in the chair in front of her.

Farel, according to him, sat in the chair that had been prepared. 

"Farel, man,"

"Yes, Sir?" farel answered nervously.

It seemed like what her master wanted to talk about was a serious matter. As Farel thought, he did nothing wrong.

“Where is the sales data of this boutique store? Didn't I tell you yesterday to do it?" ask his master in surprise.

He had Farel working, but why did Farel not talk to him today about the data? Makes himself unwilling to have to charge.

Farel's eyes were round. Jesus, he forgot to bring the file that contained the data. Farel thought his employer called him to fire, apparently asking for the data.

"I forgot to bring it, sir. Can I take it now?" farel asked his employer for permission.

Farel had forgotten to take him in fear of being late, he hurriedly set out on foot.

“Please, I will wait for you to collect that data file until afternoon.”

After getting permission, Farel rushed out of the room, heading to his house to retrieve the file. Not to forget, Farel also leave his work to his friend while he leaves.

Farel ran under the hot sun to his house. His house was so far from the boutique store where he worked, sweat soaked his face, even now his clothes were wet. Farel is tired.

Finally, Farel arrived in front of his house. In front of his house was a parked car. Of course to make Farel confused, did any guests come to his house? Her thought.

Farel did not bother, he removed his joints and went into his house to retrieve the files left behind. 

“Farel?” 

Farel turned to his mother who was at the door. “Home home? Very fast,” said Vanesa with surprise.

Farel usually comes home if it is late afternoon or almost night. Farel usually comes home at night.

“I came home because there was a file left behind, Mother.”

“You're. Didn't Mom say it? If you want to go check your bag and remember, there are no items that you forget,” reply Vanesa nagged Farel by shaking his head.

Farel scratched his nape that was not itching to hear the babbling of his mother. He regretted not listening to his mother's words earlier.

When he entered the house to retrieve the file, his eyes caught Aurel sitting in the living room with his brother and the man beside him.

“Aurel?” he murmured in wonder.

Why is Aurel in his house? Unintentionally, his eyes collided with Aurel's eyes, as Farel's heart beat faster. Oh my God, what other feeling is this?

Seeing Aurel's very pretty face, made Farel nervous instead of playing. Farel tried to shake off that nervousness.
