Satisfied fantasizing wildly in the room, Akemi came out. His soul and heart felt calm when the dragon snake that had just awakened, was now sleeping again due to being exposed to cold water.
Akemi wears a white shirt and knee-length shorts. The man looked fresh and handsome. Shella who had just realized the man's good looks as well as his boss, was secretly fascinated. Akemi's good looks beat Ibrahim's ex-lover.
Shella's eyes did not blink when she looked at this one creation of God. His eyes are silver, his nose is sharp, hair is thick, the body is high stocky, if climbed will certainly be very delicious. Oh you die, Shella. How can you hallucinate the no-no. This time, Shella began to fantasize, until the fried rice was shapeless.
The scorching smell started to sting on the nose of the beautiful woman. And sure enough, the fried rice was charred and black in color.
"How is this, the fried rice is charred." Shella was overwhelmed by the situation. She turns off the stove, while Akemi walks quickly to the troubled-looking Shella.
"What's wrong? what's going on?" Ask Akemi to panic.
"The fried rice is charred," replied Shella.
"How can you?"
"It's all because of you!" Reply to Shella while pointing at Akemi. Akemi's knuckles furrowed in almost fused together. The man was confused when Shella suddenly blamed herself for the charred fried rice earlier.
"Me?" Akemi asked, pointing at her face with her index finger.
"Yes you. It's all because you're too handsome, until my eyes can't blink at all!" Say Shella with one breath. Akemi pulled the corner of her lips forming a happy smile there. The man was flattered. There are thousands of butterflies flying over their heads.
"really?" Ask Akemi shyly.
"What's right?" Shella asked confusedly.
"Of course it's true, the fried rice is charred." Shella then.
"I mean, what did you say?" Ask Akemi.
"What?" Shella was confused by Akemi's question.
"So you said what am I?" Akemi put on a face full of hope to be praised by Shella.
"Because of you?" Shella.
"No, the other one."
"Grub fried rice?"
"No, what did I look like?"
"Look guilty?"
"That's it." I swear by anything Akemi felt very upset because she did not get the answer she wanted. While Shella did not flinch. His gaze was illegible.
"How could he forget that sentence so quickly?" Akemi's Mumbles. However, she can still be heard by Shella, but the woman chooses to be quiet.
"Didn't he just say that I'm handsome?" Akemi continued later.
"Huh? did you say anything, sir?" Shella pretended to be deaf. Yes, the woman did not seem to hear Akemi's very clear words in her ears.
"Nothing, you cook the right thing. I'm hungry" Akemi said at last. The man was really very upset, just as his heart flowered as he approached Shella's praise, but faded away instantly when Shella did not recite the compliment.
Akemi leaves Shella in the kitchen, while Shella finally breathes a sigh of relief while holding her chest.
"Hufft, good thing. I almost got caught praising her" Shella muttered. Yes, it turns out that the woman did not forget her compliment sentence earlier. He remembered every verse of praise that came from his own mouth. Only, he chose to pretend to forget. Moreover, he admired the figure of his Boss. Very rich boss. It will not be comparable to him.
"Shella's spirit, you mustn't despair. Falling in love isn't everything." Shella braced herself which looked fragile. It cannot be denied if his heart also wants love in life. Love between man and woman.
**
In the living room, Akemi was unceasingly grumbling. The man was still thinking about Shella's words of praise. But unfortunately, he did not realize if she honestly did not forget the sentence of praise. Only, the difference between them made the woman deliberately create some distance between them.
Every woman has a fragile heart, most women choose to harbor her feelings. Just like Shella, she did not even dare to recite the words of praise that had been uttered from her sweet lips.
"Did I hear wrong?" Akemi's Mumbles.
"Ah, no. I'm not deaf. He obviously praised me. Did I just ask you back?" Apparently Akemi still seemed curious about the sentence of Shella. His heart was dissatisfied.
"I'll ask you one more time later. I'll make sure if he says I'm handsome. I'm handsome, right?" Akemi said while carrying a chest full of confidence.

In the kitchen, Shella was done with her cooking activities. The woman arranged all the food that was ready to be eaten. White rice, fried chicken, vegetable capcay, and vegetable salad.
Shella called Akemi who was sitting in the living room while daydreaming.
"Sir, breakfast is ready" said Shella.
"All right."
The two men went to the kitchen for breakfast. Akemi pulls the chair to sit down, while Shella still remains silent and stands up.
"Aren't you hungry?" Ask Akemi. However, Shella gave no answer.
"Are you going to stand there without eating all this food?" Akemi asked next, but Shella still remained silent. His mouth feels stiff.
"Shella Yolanda!" Akemi finally. The man could no longer control himself.
"Yes sir," Shella replied finally after a long silence.
"Sit down, we'll have breakfast together. I don't like breakfast alone" Akemi said. The man's voice began to soften, his anger as if yawning when he heard the voice of Shella.
"But, sir, I'm just a servant. It's not appropriate for me to sit down for breakfast side by side with you, sir," Shella said, bowing her head. The woman felt small in the eyes of others, even more so in the eyes of a rich man like Akemi. The humiliation and rejection that in nature made a great wound and trauma in the heart of the woman. And the taste is still very fresh, and leaves a mark.
"Come on Shella, stop comparing yourself to others. You are not a scary extraterrestrial so people should stay away from you. You're too pretty and good for it." Terang Akemi's.
"Huh?"
"Yes Shella, you are beautiful and kind. Stop blaming yourself for what others have done. What's wrong with being a waiter? we are both human, and we breathe on the same earth. One day we will die and bring nothing. Just because you're a waitress doesn't mean you're gonna sit down and I'm upstairs. Just because I'm your boss, then you compare yourself. You and I are the same Shella, we breathe in the same place. The only difference between us is, you're a woman and I'm a man. So stop putting yourself down, em?" Akemi's words fascinate Shella. Secretly the woman's heart began to be touched. Finally, he felt appreciated by someone. And that was Akemi Alexander Gautam.
Shella shed tears, the woman was completely moved when she managed to digest every verse of Akemi's wise words.
"Hey, why are you crying, em?" Akemi stood up from her seat and wiped Shella's tears.
"I am overwhelmed, sir. Thank you for appreciating me" said Shella Haru, and successfully made a flattering Akemi for the second time.
"So you said I was handsome?"
"Huh?"
To be continued.
