The Autumn In Heart

Part 6's

Briyan took me to the hostel where Merry lived. There Merry greeted me with a warm and sweet smile.

"From now on you will stay here, because getting married is a process. There's no way I'm introducing you to my family all of a sudden. So, for a while you're here first" Briyan said as she looked at me.

"okay, okay. It's better than staying on one roof with you" I said, opening the car door.

"Wait, write down the full address of your old boarding house so that all your belongings can be moved immediately," he said thrusting a small piece of paper and pen.

I also write the full address of my residence clearly, "this, make sure all the goods are carried away alias no one is left behind," I said as I handed a small paper containing the full address of my former boarding house.

I went into Merry's room, I was surprised to see the state of the hostel. Very spacious and comfortable. This room does not deserve to be called a boarding house. More fittingly called an elite guesthouse.

There are only 6 rooms that are exactly the same and fully filled. With an elegant exterior design makes it look very luxurious. Merry showed me my room. It's very comfortable living here. I immediately lay in a spacious springbed equipped with a bedcover and full AC. Oh, gods. Dreams of me last night.

I rolled around on the springbed until I realized Merry was watching my childlike behavior.

"Goddess, are you happy?" he asked with a smile approaching.

"Yes, Merry. This is beyond my expectations."

"Have fun and take a break, because tomorrow we'll be back to work. If you want to eat, I've bought some dishes at the kitchen table, you just eat."

"Are we the only ones left here, Mer?"

"Well, who else but us?"

"This room is too large for 1 person Mer, this room can accommodate 1 family."

"Yes" said Merry with a sweet smile. Tonight he was wearing only thin pajamas with brown curly hair.

"So, how long have you been here?" I turned my body to the prone position.

Merry sat in the springbed beside me, "i lived here for about 3 years, during which time I also worked with Mr. Briyan."

"I want to ask, but you don't say yes to him or anyone else" I spoke slowly to him, "Did he ever have a girlfriend, fiancee or wife?"

"Hm, she was engaged once and failed, and I have so many girlfriends. But baby, the fate of his love is not as smooth as his wealth."

"What?? really true??" I glared at my eyes, I didn't think Merry knew much about Briyan.

"Yes, that's why he prefers you as his future wife. Even though you come from a family that even Mr. Briyan himself does not know of his origin, he has chosen you Goddess."

"So, did you know I was going to marry him?"

"Yes, she always told me about someone who was simple, beautiful, independent, and that person was you, Goddess."

Hm, really? whatever Merry said to me back then was all like a far-fetched illusion. I almost laughed when I heard it. How could Briyan like a foreign woman in just 10 days? moreover, our marriage is just a contract marriage, Briyan must be just making up about all that. I'm getting upset to hear that.

"So, what else did he say about me?" I wondered what other mirages I would listen to.

"She said I should take care of you Wi, until your wedding day comes."

"What's? hahahahahahaa," oops, I can't help but laugh right now, "Merry.please yes, if he says the same you again you have to look after meyou tell me the same to him, I can take care of myself. For years I lived in a city and I could take care of myself, hahahahahaha."

Merry was surprised to see my strange behavior. But for me, his expression this time was no less strange than all the words of Briyan I heard. Something wrong has already happened, I have to hear myself from Briyan tomorrow.

This morning I went to work on a Merry motorcycle. We drove fast on the highway, until we reached Briyan's company. We each went into our own room. Briyan hasn't been seen yet, apparently she's a bit late today. Eits wait a minute, he's a boss. Going to any hour is no problem.

However, my guess was wrong. Briyan opened the door violently. He also closed the door rudely, making me and maybe Merry equally surprised.

"Good morning, my beautiful secretary!" He smiled at Merry and Merry smiled respectfully.

"Secretary Goddess, please make me coffee. Use the hot water, remember! hot water is boiling, not warm water" he said as he continued walking toward a small closet full of documents.

I stood up and made coffee for him, after which I gave it to Briyan.

"This, sir. The coffee."

"What's? sir?" Briyan was stunned to hear my sentence.

"Is something wrong sir?" I was more surprised at him.

"Can you not call me sir, I am your future husband?"

"So, shall I call it mas, honey or hani?" ask her.

"Mass? I don't like the name Mas. hani? it sounds good too," he said with a beard.

"But sir, everyone in this company calls you 'sir'. How could I call you 'hani'? that's embarrassing!"

"Shameful?? really true??" Briyan asked back.

"Yes, sir. How humiliating!"

Briyan scrunched her forehead. "Emm, here you go. You should call me 'sir' if there are any employees near us. But if it's just the two of us, you should call me 'hani'. How's it?"

"Good, sir. Just for two years!"

"Yes, you're right. Two years."

"Sir, bisakaa..."

"Hani's. Not 'sir'!"

"W-what? ha-hani?" I was nervous about making it.

"Look, sir, ups hani! can we go out tonight?" I started to sweat cold. This shitty guy in front of me has made me happy.

"Dating?"

"Dating? no!"

"Then, what's the name if it's not a date?"

"Meeting, sir! uh, hani!"

"Okay, we'll see you tonight, I'll pick you up. Fix that nervous style of talking. Sounds so bad!"

I couldn't go against what he said and just kept leaving him in my room. I sit and control my breath. I was nervous not because I was in love with her, but because she kept mocking and pranking me. He is now my boss. I can't say this or that to her anymore. Fuuhhhhhhhh! I was so frustrated with it.

I went back to my job, soon after the salary distribution date, I worked hard to make reports and manage the finances. In this company there are 10 office staff and 20 factory staff. Everyone receives a salary at the same time. It'll be troublesome for me.

The company is in the field of managing raw food ingredients into finished food. The factory itself is huge. And there are branches on different islands.

No wonder Briyan is very busy, especially he is the only child of a wealthy family. He is required to work hard. Currently, both parents are abroad to promote their food products in order to be exported.

I was tired all day working in front of the computer. My eyes felt drowsy and sleepy. I saw Merry who was in his room, he also looked sleepy and fell asleep while sitting down. Sometimes he scratches his hand.

Briyan did not seem to mind Merry who fell asleep, he had more tolerance for all employees. It was just that he could not be denied if he had issued an order.
