THE WAY YOU LOVE ME

19

I opened both my eyes. The car shake was still felt, which means I'm still on my way.

My head leaned against the edge of the door beside me. I saw the day was starting in the morning.

It means I'm close to town.

I hold my sitting position. Travel also stops at one of the freeway exit/tolls. I read the sign next to me.

Ah... Apparently I've reached the city. Looks like I'll be the first one in between.

I turned my head back to the bench. I took my phone from my bag.

I pressed the key, I confirmed who was looking for me. Ah, there's Ghea who sent a message.

'Sister 'Sister.. Already arrived? Mama papa semalem berga berantem kak, this morning I was also in masakin nasi goreng kak. Papa also looks healthy..'

I also replied to Ghea's message.

'Just get to the deck... Thank goodness, I'll drop the deck. If there's anything - did you say brother yes... Bye deck.'

Messages were sent....

I put it back in my bag. I put my head back to the window. I breathe heavily.

"The first bell I brought.. " Say the driver to me.

"Yes... Thank you sir... " I just answered lazily.

"Neng, I'm lethargic for that spirit. Usually people to the city seneng, hepi luggage. Look at the place in the area... " Travel drivers are still trying to be friendly to me.

"That's why, I'm just sleepy.... " I answered.

"Bak works here? Is it just college? But if college is not possible.. My appearance is not a student... " The driver kept talking.

"I work Sir...... " I answered that Nadaku was starting to get lazy.

"What job does mbak? Not working haphazardly... Hehe... " He tried to harass me.

"Sir, what does that mean? Funny sir? I do not work so simple or women really. I work at a restaurant and become a figure artist. I never got on TV. But my job is to bother others!"

"Neng don't nyolot... I just asked.. Sorry if I was wrong, today many women whose work does not really matter. That's why I asked you..." Answer the driver.

I threw my eyes out on the street. The sun had started to rise, the heat of the Capital had started to come out. I narrowed my eyes, the sunlight was glare.

"Right saucy cake... " The voice of one of the passengers behind me.

A young man, I don't think his age is far from me.

I just glanced a little, ah they're not important. I don't recognize them either. Not necessarily I will meet again.

The car went into my boarding house. I got in touch with a black sedan.

I think I know that car. "Jessy..... " I'm talking to myself.

I saw Jessy in the car. But I didn't see exactly who he was going to be with. Is that Adam or Lutfi?

Where are they going?

The car stopped in front of the car. I then got off the car.

The travel driver gave me my bag taken from the trunk. I received and gave a little 20 thousand dollars.

"Thank you, see you... " The driver answered while putting it in his pocket.

"Same sir, thank you.."

I picked up my shirt and walked towards the fence. I opened my boarding fence, deserted that morning.

I don't see Yofie's motor either. Didn't he go home?

I then went inside the house.

"Excuse me.... " I said, but no one answered.

I opened Jessy's room. Ah, apparently locked. I took out a spare key from my pocket.

I put the key into the hole in the door. When I can open I go inside.

How shocked I am, how messy it is. The trash behind the door piled up.

Many of Jessy's clothes were scattered on the floor and on the bed.

My bed, too, did not escape jessy's bag. I'm shaking my head.

I then took the broom and mop from the side of the house. I started throwing junk food into the trash.

But I saw there was a litter of cigarette butts and contraceptives**.

I threw it in a big dumpster outside the house. I don't want to think much about what happens when I get home.

I'm folding Jessy's shirt. Then tidied up the bag that was on top of my bed. I put it in the closet next to Jessy's bed.

Again, the men's clothes I found. What really happened during these few days?

Then all corners I sweep and I mop to clean.

I lay my body on the bed. " Ahh....... Finally finished... Huff.... "

Then I got up and took the towel out of my bag. I took some of my other toiletries.

I always carry it all. So that I can save money, I am also afraid that if I stay it will be lost or wasted. Maybe it was just my negative thoughts.

I opened the bathroom door and.. "God!! Why full of dirty dishes.... "

I put it back on my bed all my toiletries. I'm tired actually, but I can't take a shower like this.

I can't stop thinking about how a woman as beautiful as Jessy can live in this situation. I felt like everything was going through a storm. Messy.

finally everything is clean. I can now fall on the bed with a relaxed. tired actually my whole body, I feel hungry.

then I picked up my bag on the floor.I opened it and took my wallet.I counted the rest of my money.

"ha... 10 thousand left? can eat what I... do I go directly to the place of Uni yes.biar can eat for free just as dapet duit dikit - kitit..but I want to sleep first tired it feels.... " I'm talking to myself.

then I put my wallet back in and then put my brown sling bag back on the floor.

then I closed my eyes. I tried to sleep. This way my hunger can I hold at least until night.

"Of.... He said I want to be in ajakin movie... So then?" Jessy spoke to the middle-aged man beside her.

They're in a room. It looks more like a studio apartment. However, Jessy seems familiar with the place.

"Patience dear, you have to make the press curious about who you are. I want you to be immortal as an artist. Not just a sensation, baby. Then, your acting must be trained a lot first.... " The man answered while hugging Jessy's shoulder.

"Husse... Shh... Don't get angry, but that's a good goal, baby. If you want a toy, I choose another woman Jes. I have the same toy as your beautiful girl.... Please believe it the same... I'll see the producer tomorrow, abis it mas promise. We start filming... " The man put his chin on Jessy's shoulder.

"Promise?" Jessy looked at the man.

"Sure honey's.... " They look at each other. However, not the usual view. Like there's another connection between the two of them.

Jessy and the man continued their activities. Doing the wrong thing Jessy did.

The man in her boyfriend looks more like her uncle. However, the man is actually in love with Jessy.

"Damn, it's 4pm. Ah, I still have to eat. I'd better buy instant noodles at betamart... " Cathrine nags herself.

He got out of bed and took the last money he had. He put it in his trouser pocket.

Cathrine walked out of the room and locked the door. Outside Mother's sister's boarding as usual. Watching the news for yourself in front of Cathrine's room.

"Night Om... Long time no look."

"Night... You haven't been seen for a long time, back home?"

"Yes om... I came back to the village, just this afternoon... " I answered.

"Oh.... Alright... " Answer him.

actually I forgot what his name is. when he had introduced himself.or even not yet? I obviously often greet him.

"om I live first yes.want to buy snacks to Betamart." I walked away from her.

"yes. heart of heart." answered her flatly.

I get out of the house, then I walk to the shophouse in front of the kost. The same way I go if I go to work.

nothing has changed, but I'm happy to be back here.the air is pretty clean and not as crowded as the city center.

I entered Betamart.The guards greeted me with their friendly smiles.

I went straight into the instant noodle line. I choose the price that is below each item.

All are above 10k. The money in my pants pocket won't be enough.

I kept looking at the price, until I decided on a mini cup noodle. The price is only 4k per cup.

I immediately smiled, then I took 2 pieces. I went to the cashier's desk and put him down.

"This is mbak? Any members?" Ask the cashier the man in front of me.

"This is it, already. I don't have a member... "

The salesperson inputted the item code into the computer in front of him. I took money out of my pants pocket. Then put it on the cashier's table.

The cashier took my money and took my change from inside the cashier drawer.

"Mr's Return.. Thanks."

I received the 2k he gave me. "Thank you, Mommy.." I answered.

Then I brought a little white plastic and came out of Betamart.

I walked back to the hostel. I enjoyed the atmosphere that afternoon, the air was always fresh. Sometimes kids play bicycles near me.

actually, this housing is not completely deserted. there are still children who play every morning and afternoon.but also more who stay in the house alone.

I stepped towards my hostel alley.I smiled and breathed in the afternoon air that calmed my soul.

My steps stopped in front of my hostel. Seeing someone familiar and who I'm waiting for.

just looking at it sometimes makes me ice cubes.everything feels cold and stiff my tongue.

even smiling is a bit difficult.if I have a smile, it is difficult to manage how big my smile.....

I saw Yofie coming in front of me. He was still on his white bike. He then opened his helmet, still on the bike.

like a GP motorcycle racer who makes women crazy, it feels like he shines like a glare.

Her handsome, very handsome and gentle looking. I gulped a little and stared at him.

I just silently stared without saying.Especially when Yofie smiled at me, her dimples added to her appeal.

a guy like Yofie should already have a boyfriend, so why should I be stunned by him.

I'd better just make 'view' to cool my eyes.

At that moment, I started to put my heart on him. But I always try to hold back and forget.

It always makes me lazy to start a relationship.

I had to wake up and fortify myself, then I looked at the streets and bowed my head.

This is my way of breaking my mind, so that I don't go too far to plant a taste for Yofie.

I walked closer to the fence, I saw from the tail of my eyes. Yofie was still watching me, I continued forward until Yofie pulled my left arm.

I was silent and reflexes turned me around. I saw both eyes, light brown both pupils.

I have to say something so I don't get weird in front of him.

"Hallo brother... How's it going?" I started a conversation with him.

"Cathrine, you didn't say you were coming. Wh why? When did you come. Where are you from?" Yofie squeezed my arm.

"sick brother ka, sorry to take my hand off.I until this morning brother, sorry I can not tell my sister... I don't have a pulse, so I can't text sister.. I'm from there, Brother Yofie, bought noodles earlier. Brother from where?" I tried to answer Yofie casually.

I can't lie. My hands felt cold, only this time I got a detailed question from my opposite sex.

"Geez, sorry Cathrine...." Yofie let go of my arm.

"you said dong was with brother. I'm afraid you're turning back on Cathrine. Almost all the messages you send are nothing you reply to. Oh yes to welcome you.. How are we having dinner? We eat there... " Yofie designates a new dining venue with the logo of the Italian flag.

"New place, brother? I just saw.dinner, you can too brother." My answer is, I am good enough to be able to save.

"Yes just yesterday opened, fitting you back new in finish if not wrong.... Later at 7 o'clock yes we go there.kak curious because although not queuing there is always someone eating there Cath.so it should taste delicious yes..." Yofie was so excited.

"May brother, um 7 o'clock.... I'm going in first, brother, you want to put this down... See You brother... " I waved my hand.

"See you Cathrine.... " Answer Yofie.

I left Yofie in front. I'm actually lucky to eat with him. I don't have to pay for dinner.

but, I also do not want to owe him.he is a good and well-established man, to be honest I was a little low in front of him.
