The Contracts

Oh, Bad Days Still Continue

Still shrouded in anger, Gaby closes her locker roughly. He hugged his backpack out of the officer room. Standing in front of the door, Gaby noticed the state of the cafe filled with visitors.

Rachel's still there. Sitting quietly, as if nothing had ever happened. Well, let's show you a nice reply.

Gaby steps into the kitchen, asking Reyhan to help make a brew*bueberry smoothie*. Not to forget, Gaby also paid for Rachel's order. Shit, he had to give up a quarter of his salary.

Dugh

Gaby put down the tray a little rough, looking at Rachel full of smiles. “Blueberry smoothie special for you.”

Rachel's eyebrows swooped down, staring uninterestedly at the purple-colored drink. He propped up his chin, blinked once before saying, “Lo don't want to apologize?”

“Create what? I don't feel wrong, though. Shouldn't you apologize to me?”

Rachel sat up straight with a sour face. “Ngapain also I'm sorry same lo?”

“Well, that, why do I apologize equally lo,” reply Gaby relaxed, reverse the words Rachel. “But it's okay. I'm sorry without you having to apologize.”

Gaby smiled sweetly, making Rachel frown. What would that crazy woman actually do?

“It should be if you don't have money to pay, say the same to me. I must have bought you, really. Do not use dirty way kayak earlier,” said Gaby concerned.

Rachel screeches. “Even I can buy self-esteem lo.”

“Oh, yes?” Gaby pretends to be surprised, making Rachel fed up.

“Actually, what do you want lo?”

“Gue just want to remind, after drinking this.” Gaby pointed to the b*lueberry smoothie she just brought. “Do not forget to drink this, yes,” he continued while putting a packet of medicine.

Rachel glared, surprised. How could he forget that fact?

Gaby smiled in anguish. “Quietly, I paid the bill. That's, right, lo's plan .. But, Ra, how do you get blueberry juice when you're allergic to that little fruit? Guess very much if you just want to find because of me, and congratulations ... you managed to get me fired.”

Inevitably this attracted the attention of cafe visitors. Whispers about Rachel began to sound, laughing at the girl's stupid demeanor. I also regret Gaby's dismissal.

Ignoring Rachel's sharp gaze, Gaby inched away. His steps had stopped when he caught a pair of dark netra watching him. Gaby lowered her head briefly, smiling slightly before stepping out. Huft, what a tiring day.

Until hired, Gaby did not go straight up. He sat on the stairs, slipping his legs while looking straight ahead. Heavy breathing sounds. Gaby has lost the only job that sustained her life for two years. He reached into the pocket of his jeans, staring at a white envelope containing several pieces of red money.

“My fate gini very, dah,” muttered Gaby nelangsa.

The sound of the door creaking open made Gaby squeak. His monolids were bulging when he saw a middle-aged woman glaring at him. Gaby could feel a dark aura emanating from a five-meter radius. Wanting to escape was no longer possible. The woman ruffled her waist, walking quickly towards Gaby.

Gaby grinned, standing stiff in place. “Eh, Mimi, just getting beautiful. When's she coming home, Mi? How are you not news first, sih.” Centil-style, Gaby poked the arm of a woman who was familiarly called Mimi by the occupant of the contract.

Miss Diana hit Gaby's back using her hand fan, venting out pent-up emotions these few weeks.

“Admudu, Mi, kok mukul Gaby, sih.” Gaby squirms, trying to escape the entanglement of maleficent in the real world.

“Sick, Mi,” whining Gaby with lips sticking out. He rubbed his back which was hot. Duh, Mimi's really mean as a stepmom.

Miss Diana fanned her face while raising her hands. Gaby who did not understand shook that smooth hand. Again, he got a fond flick on his back.

“Adoh! Mi, have a problem what life, anyway, same Gaby,” Gaby screeches. For a long time he could be beaten continuously.

“You've waited three months, Gaby! Don't pretend to forget, you're not Mahen. Cepet, here pay!” jendak Bu Diana's.

Gaby played her index finger. “Mi, Gaby just fired. Ask for lightening, yes, Mi. Next month, promise, Gaby will definitely pay off everything.”

Gaby was writhing in Miss Diana's arm. Don't forget to show her face. “Ya, Mi, yes? Gaby has SKTM, kok.”

“Yes, how, Mi, Gaby just fired you.” Gaby is thieving, asking for mercy.

Sighing heavily, Mimi was indeed not talented to be an antagonist. “Sorry, no, Mimi can't hold you back anymore. Mimi should also be fair to all tenants. So, with all due respect, please leave here.”

Spontaneous Gaby raised her right leg, blinking innocently at Bu Diana.

“Lift feet, go from here, Gaby!” mrs Diana shouted, frustrated with Gaby's behavior. “Hah, you always have osteoporosis.”

“Lah? Not low blood, Mi?” correction Gaby.

Miss Diana brushed her fan gracefully. “Dih, I'm classy, yes. The high level. Tsk, you have to move out of my contract. Bye!”

Gaby scratches her hair confused, “Set me live where, dong?”

The footsteps behind the white sneakers looked lethargic. Gaby pulled two large suitcases in both hands. After giving his salary plus severance to Miss Diana, Gaby completely left the contract. He knew enough himself not to further trouble the middle-aged woman. Fortunately, it was not reported to the police. Gaby promises that if her life is stable, she will pay the lack of money to Miss Diana.

Tired of walking, Gaby sits on the park chair of the road. This afternoon, the traffic was very heavy along with the return of the workers. For the umpteenth time, Gaby let out a heavy sigh. Lamenting his never easy fate.

“Huh, I can't get it, nih. Back to home is also impossible.” Gaby looked around. “Nobody wants to pick me up what, huh?”

Sensing the phone in his pants pocket vibrating, Gaby immediately picked up the flat object. Not yet had time to speak, the sound of a cry across there made Gaby keep her phone away from the ear.

“Kaaak, why did you not leave me first? I'm really surprised to know that you were fired by Mr. Boss. Emang, yes, it's a fish like aja.”

Gaby chuckles. “Wo-wo, patience, Sis. Sorry, yes, hunt me down, so don't think of nyari lo first.”

“Now how are you, Brother?”

“Yes, no way.”

The conversation continues. The two noisy girls never ran out of topics. Not feeling half an hour passed, Sea ended his phone. The girl has to get back to work.

The smile that adorned the beautiful face slowly faded, replaced by a flat look with no interest. Gaby is very good at playing with feelings. I don't want to make other people suffer from her grief.

Gaby stared straight at the increasingly crowded highway. The monolid seemed empty with tears slowly shedding. As if understanding his mood, the sky also dropped crystals on the arid earth. Looking up, Gaby was very grateful, the rain was present to disguise the tears she hated so much.

“Nothing, Gaby. Everything is gonna be alright,” murmured, full of despair.

For a while, Gaby was still there. Enjoying the drops of water soaking his clothes. The air was getting colder, and his body was shivering. However, Gaby did not care.

Gaby took a deep breath, leaning her back on the chair. His mood began to improve. “Ck, really laper, crazy! Seriously no one wants to meet me?”

Okay, the absurd man is back. Gaby was not shy about shouting in the rain, ignoring the people who were blatantly staring at her. “Never seen what beautiful person, yes.”

“Aneh lo.”

The heavy sound from the side made Gaby turn her head. He frowned, since when did the man stand there. “Lo what is here?”

The man got closer, standing in front of Gaby. They are under the same umbrella. His towering body made Gaby look up.

“Why?” gaby asked, puzzled that the man had not spoken. He still remembered the owner of the dark net with a sharp and stern look. He's the guy he met at the restaurant last afternoon. The figure that made Gaby couldn't stand lingering nearby.

That aura, you know, I want to kill its prey.

The man started talking. “Gue does not like pleasantries. You want to be my girlfriend?”

“HAH?!”
