The Contracts
Contract
The black range rover driven by Gabriel was parked neatly in the basement of the apartment.
“Sorry, yes, because of me, your car is wet,” regret Gaby, take off his seatbelt. He grimaced uneasily as his wet body crept into the chair.
“Luck, later also dry. Yuk, out.” Gabriel opened the car door, and closed it slowly. He went into the trunk, picked up Gaby's suitcase.
Gaby ran over to Gabriel, extending her hand. “Sini, let me take it.”
“No need, I'm aja,” reject Gabriel.
The two walked into the elevator. Gabriel hit the number ten, where his apartment unit is located. Gaby just kept quiet, following wherever the man went. It felt like all the energy in Gaby's body was drained away along with the problems she faced today.
Gabriel glanced at the woman beside him, feeling astonished because the woman was not as noisy as usual. He smiled a little when he saw the netra decorated with lashes were closed. Tired scars clearly adorn a plain face without that make up. The woman really needs a break.

Gaby opened her eyes with a heavy heart, following Gabriel's footsteps. He only realized that the building he was visiting was an apartment with VVIP facilities, where one floor consisted of only two apartment units. Gaby could imagine how vast Gabriel's apartment was.
They stopped at the door of number 19. Gabriel put his thumb on the fingerprint scanner. Open the door wide and let Gaby in.
“Later I ask the staff to register your fingerprints,” said Gabriel.
Gaby didn't hear what Gabriel said. He was busy scanning the luxurious apartment. The net shines in awe at every item displayed there.
Gabriel's apartment consists of two floors. There is a circular staircase on the side of the family room. Gaby's not good at describing things. However, hyperbolically, this place is like a paradise of the world. It still feels like a dream to stay here.
Remembering something, Gaby turned her attention to the man who was pulling the suitcase behind her. “Oh, yes, we've been this quick, but haven't been perfect acquaintance.”
Gabriel extended a hand first which was immediately greeted by Gaby's tiny hand. “Gabriel ... This is my business card.”
Gaby received the rectangular paper. “Gabriel Pranata Zai,”. He had guessed that Gabriel was no ordinary person, but he did not expect to meet the eldest son of the owner of the largest company in the country. Should Gaby be flattered?
“Gue Gaby's. Galencia Gaby Dionzha,” Gaby said with her sweet smile.
Gabriel nodded briefly. “We go up. I show you the room lo.”
Arriving on the second floor, Gabriel opened the whitewashed door. He took two suitcases with Gaby. “This is lo's room. My room is right in front of it. If you need anything, do not hesitate to say.”
“Still, yes,” says Gaby sincerely.
“Hm. Lo beberes first, keep resting. Later, I anter food here.”
Gaby stared at Gabriel's departure with a fluffy smile. Although the man seems stiff, Gaby can
feeling the warmth of each of his actions. Too long to live alone, making Gaby a little complacent with the small attention of Gabriel. The man made her feel comfortable.
“Bunda ... Gaby did not take the wrong step, ‘kan?”

Spontaneous Gaby opened her eyes with a hunting breath. He glanced at the alarm of his cell phone that sounded above
nightstand, and shut it down immediately. For a moment, Gaby was confused to be in a room dominated by blue. He just remembered that he now lives in Gabriel's apartment.
Even an expensive bed can't make me sleep well.
Gaby smiled smirkily. He pulled out his blanket and stepped into the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth. He was taking a shower this cold morning.
Upon returning from the bathroom, Gaby gets a message from Gabriel. Last night they exchanged phone numbers
to facilitate communication. The man told me to meet him when he woke up.
“Replace later, deh, end of shower. Just met this Gabriel.”
Gaby took off her long hair, then walked out of the room confidently. It didn't matter if Gabriel ridiculed him for wearing pajamas with bear pictures and bear-headed slippers. Her slow steps led Gaby down the stairs to a room next to the living room.
Tock-a-tock
Getting a cry from within, Gaby opened the door slowly. His head poked, watching the situation
inside, what turned out to be a workspace. There, Gabriel was already sitting quietly on the sofa with the laptop on. Gaby approached the man and sat down next to him.
Feeling the movement by his side, Gabriel turned his head. Reflexes he noticed Gaby's appearance.
“Why? Want to take me?” Gaby sneered, not liking Gabriel's gaze, as if mocking him.
Gabriel turned his gaze back on the laptop. “Neg. Lo funny.”
Instead of blushing, Gaby smiled broadly as she clapped her hands. “Iya, ‘kan, I'm funny. Sea always does like a little kid if you see me in pajamas drawing characters. Though funny gini, hehe.”
Gaby brought herself closer to Gabriel, seeing what the man was typing. “Lo again what?”
“Create a contract letter. How do you think?” Gabriel shifts his laptop in front of Gaby, asking for an opinion. “But, you don't have a girlfriend, ‘kan?”
“Neg. Last broken off the umbilical cord,” replied Gaby quickly.
Gabriel nodded, a feeling of relief enveloping his inner being.
“Crazy, the fine is not boxed. Zero is nine.” Gaby chuckled softly reading the contract. He thought Gabriel's sentence was funny. “So, one year?”
“Defense?” gabriel asked, looking at Gaby from the side.
Gaby shakes. “You are forever I'm sincere,”.
“Lo by what?”
“Nothing. Pinch his shoulder, yes, last night I couldn't sleep.”
Without waiting for an answer, Gaby dropped her head on Gabriel's shoulder. Move a little to find a position
snugly. Gaby has no qualms about doing it because as of today, she officially becomes Gabriel's lover.
Gabriel briefly kisses Gaby's head, letting the woman sleep peacefully. “Sleep tight, By.”

After signing the contract, followed by breakfast together, Gabriel and Gaby sat down in an oval beanbag. Overlooking a large window featuring views of the skyscrapers. There's still time before Gabriel leaves for work. They use it for casual conversation accompanied by a warm cup of tea.
“Gue call you, Iel, how about? I'll call Gabriel,” from Gaby.
Gabriel did not protest. “Hm. Gymnastics for aja.” He sipped his warm tea with a straight forward look.
“Betewe, you have been living alone for a long time?” ask Gaby.
“Hm, since college, I've been running near campus. I moved here after graduation and work at Papa.” company
After that it was silent for a moment. Gabriel glanced to the side. He seemed hesitant to say something. “Sorry, if you may know, parents lo –”
“Mothers are happy in heaven,” cut Gaby. Slowly he looked over, smiling. “They have a great heart, yes, leave me alone.”
Gabriel was stunned, not knowing what to respond to. “You hug?” For God's sake, it was just a spontaneous offer. Gabriel could not bear to see that innocent face looked gloomy, even though there was a smile on it.
Not wasting a chance, Gaby rammed her body into Gabriel's field chest. Inhaling scents
that guy feels so calming. The gentle rubbing on her back made Gaby want to cry. As much as possible he held a crystal clot at the end of his eye. He hated looking so weak like this.
“Still, Iel.” Gaby smiled sincerely, feeling empty when the embrace was over.
“Hm.”
“Eh, lo what age, anyway?” Ugh, nice Gaby, proper topic switching.
“Two five,” replied Gabriel cuek.
“Iih, we're in the middle. What month?” gaby asked, sounding enthusiastic.
“April.”
Gaby smiled ignorantly. “Gue was born in February. Means you should call me, brother.”
Gabriel's forehead shriveled, the woman looked happy just because she was older. “Two months.”
“Two months also time span, Iel,” keukeh Gaby. “Call sister try!”
Despite feeling strange, Gabriel did it anyway. “Kakak ..”
“Iya, Adek.” Gaby laughed at the face of Gabriel's plate as she called him brother. Oh my goodness, I am so happy. It's so hot, I want to kiss her cheeks.
