THE WAY YOU LOVE ME

25

It actually became invisible to the ordinary. It's usual for me to be ignored. This time I felt small.

The mall is this fancy, with stuff that I might take how long it took to save to buy. My flat shoes are only 50k. The bag I was wearing 45k. This shirt.... I don't know, I got this for free from used.

I kept looking for where Coffeecok was. I almost turned around and got tired. Where else am I looking, every time I go back.

I'm going to go closer to the security guard there. A man in black clothes and HT in hand.

"Sir.. Sorry.. Coffee where is that chocolate? I'm back here to stay daritadi?"

The officer looked at me, what was on his mind.

"Owh, straight up later he's in the corner mepet japanese restaurant." He pointed the way with his hand holding HT.

"Okay sir, thank you... " I answered.

I turned my body, at first glance I looked at the wall. There's a silver object that looks like glass. Then I looked, apparently full of sweat on my face.

I took a tissue from inside the bag. I put it on my face, my God...

When I finished, I looked back. It's better, but my make up is a little worn off. After all, I threw away the tissue and continued on my way.

I stopped right in a slightly dim place. The light is yellow. But, this looks luxurious and not a cheap place.

I'm confident going inside. There was a barista who was busy serving the queue there.

"Can I help you, brother?" Said one of the employees.

(I saw him using the same apron/celemon as the clerk behind the counter there.)

"Do you want to order or sit down first, sister?" He asked again.

"Owh... I actually made a deal, but... " I looked at the menu on the cashier's desk.

Oh, my God, 1 cup of 40 grand drinks? I'm looking for anything they're selling under that? My money is 30k..

"You here?" Say someone behind me.

"Huh?" I turned my body.

"Shocked?" Jimmy says.

"You here?? " I answered Jimmy.

"Let's sit there with me... " Jimmy walked, and I caught up with him.

We sat at the corner table in the cafe. I saw that there were 2 cups of drinks on the table.

"Sit down... " Said Jimmy.

I also sat in front of him. I put the bag over both thighs. I slightly lowered my head, I don't know how embarrassed I was to meet him together.

"Why ? Is something wrong? How do you bow your head?" Jimmy approached me.

"Ah..no I just... Embarrassed.... " Answer.

"Ha.. Ha... Haa... We've been to both Cath... Forgot it? We spent half the night together... " Said Jimmy.

I smiled hearing it too. Shame but I feel good to see him.

"So, what's the show here? Didn't think we could meet here... Oh yeah, it's a cold Greentea latte. If you want to drink... " Jimmy pointed to the cup in front of me.

"Thank you Sir.. I actually made a deal with people.. But I have no contact. It's hard gini... " I answered awkwardly.

I was busy looking around me. Who would think - the man I met?

There's an old man. But he was with a girlfriend.

In the corner there is a young couple. While the others they with a group of children slang. Where else ? Or don't - don't .....

Anne tricked me!

"Hey! " Jimmy surprised me a little.

"Yes sir... " I reflexively answer. I was really surprised by what he did.

"Call Jimmy, and.. Stop saying me.. What if you and I?"

"Can, can... Sorry Sir... Uh, Jimmy... I actually made a pact with my best friend's brother. I'm going to interview but not really... So rich meet to ask for that job... " I explained.

"Oh, then why don't you call her?" Jimmy.

"The thing is, I don't have her contacts. He said, the box has my number. Call me or send a message.. " I answered while holding my phone.

Jimmy sipped a little of his hot coffee. Then he put it down, Jimmy's jaw was so tight. He seems to be a strict man.

"Owh... Why did you not call your friend? Ask where and how the characteristics of the man or woman will be your boss.. "

"Before I got here. But he said confidential number, so I can't get it. It's hard for me to be.. .. " I'm pouting.

Then I took a drink in front of me. Then I drank a little, it tasted good. Then I continued drinking again.

I realized a lot of spending on the cup. Then I stopped and put it.

Jimmy looked at me and smiled, "just spend it, we'll have another message."

"Thank you Jimmy... " I returned his smile.

"Oh yeah how did you get here? And... Why your cheeks are partially red... Oh, make up.. "

"Yes my Make Up is cheap. It just faded with sweat. I found this cafe hard.. Just turn around on this floor..." I answered by cleaning both of my cheeks.

"It's not about cheap or expensive. You are prettier just using powder and thin lip dye. Like when we eat our afternoon. Sorry for offending you." Jimmy answered.

"No Jimmy... No. gabe... Maybe I'm being sensitive... Oh yeah, I'm here with the hostess' son.." I answered.

"Cost? The house I used to take you home?" Ask Jimmy.

"Yes kost.. What other names.. Boarding house is not.. What yes, the room in the monthly lease was to stay... " Answer.

"Ah... I-i understand. You rented a room in that house. Pay in the month you stay. " Answer Jimmy.

"Whatever it is consider the outline the same yes.... " I'm not excited to explain to Jimmy.

"Then, you want to wait? The one who will give you a job.. " Task Jimmy.

"Try me in 10 minutes. Who knows if there is good news for me... Ohiya, do you like coming here yourself? Or is there a deal?" I asked back.

"No, I was actually enjoying the afternoon. And happened to wait for the person who didn't seem to come. Let me call him, if he comes, maybe it'll be my business sooner..." Jimmy answered, crossing both hands.

"Oh so..." I answered briefly, because I also want to talk about what else.

"Before, where is this.ah here it is..." Jimmy pressed the call from his phone.

Cring.... Cring.... (Cathrine's phone reads).

"Lhoh..... My phone sounds. . Akhinya.. " Cathrine showed Jimmy.

Jimmy just nodded and smiled.

"Hello... " Cathrine answered the call.

"Cathrine Jons, remember who I am? I hear you need a high-paying job, but what's your skill. Want to work for me easily?" Say the guy at the end of the call.

Jimmy smiled and closed the call. Then he put the phone on the table.

"Don't be surprised, why don't you keep my number? You're shocked to see who just talked to you...." Ask Jimmy.

"Wait....Wait what does this mean? How to save your number. I've never called, and this is the number I just bought..Dan, don't joke! I'm looking for Jim's job!" I was upset to see Jimmy.

"Jawab, what can you do? Digitols program, cooking or what?" Jimmy asked again.

"Please that clear Dear Jimmy. I need a job, you don't know me... " My eyes started to look glassy.

I feel like I'm being played with. I don't know where he got my new number. I just bought this number yesterday, when I came back from the village.

I wish I hadn't been contacted by the debt Collector mama and papa. But where did he get my number.

"I'm Anne's cousin, she told me who I met. To be honest, I'm lazy to meet a woman like you..." Jimmy answered cynically.

"Why indeed? And are you really what Anne meant??" I still can't believe it. Moreover, Jimmy can change from the Jimmy I used to know.

"Millennial women who usually sell themselves to rich men. Or an old man with a clear purpose.. Money and a good life, with no hard work...

Honestly, I don't like to waste my money on cheap women and women who like to move from one man to another.."

I lowered my head, I felt ashamed and wanted to cry. Why did hearing her words so cut my heart.

I'm looking for a job, not selling my body. Why do the words - he said so demean me.

"But when Anne said her name was Cathrine Jons. And he showed me a picture of you two.... Well I met you.Well, considering how you and not too long ago we met at TeaGarden..

Now to the point, I ask what are your skills?

Because in the process of filming too... I see you are not talented... What could make me consider? I can't throw my money away for free.. Paying people without any skills..."

I tried to catch my breath a few times. I arranged for no tears to come.

"Thank you, dear Mr. Jimmy.. I am not talented in acting. I didn't graduate from a good university, I didn't go to college.. What was my job all this time? You want to know? I work halal, I.... I became a washerman and waiter in a field stall. You also ate there....

I couldn't get into qualifying... Especially working in my office.. So instead of me throwing your money away, I'm sorry I wasted your time meeting me right now.....

Excuse me first...

Oh yea.. Thank you for this delicious and expensive drink. Excuse me... "

I stood up and looked at Jimmy. For a moment we looked at each other. This man in front of me, this,...

He helped me several times and saved me..

But his words and all his sayings this afternoon. Why is it so painful for me?

I turned around and left Jimmy. I walked out of the cafe.

My body is limp, my legs feel boneless. I haven't even eaten in the morning, only that drink fills my stomach. Honestly, I feel hungry.

But hearing her words made me full.

There's a bench at the end there. I stepped towards the bench. My pace slowed, I thought floating in view of all his words.

I sat alone in the human traffic. I still can't believe the guy I met a few times was so much fun.

Takes me a little happy to have a successful acquaintance. Suddenly this afternoon I felt like I was being demeaned.

Is it wrong to look for a job?

Even if it just makes me an Office Girl.. I accepted...

"I'm sorry.... " Jimmy's Voice.

I closed both my eyes. I want to calm my mind. I was hungry until I hallucinated.

I heard Jimmy say Sorry.

"Open your eyes Cathrine... " Jimmy's voice is becoming clearer.

I closed my eyes even more. My head is getting dizzy.

"Cathrine!" Then Jimmy grabbed my wrist.

I opened my eyes and saw. My eyes are still dull.

"You crying? " Task Jimmy.

I just kept looking at him. I don't know if I wanted to slap him in the face.

"sorry." said Jimmy.

I let go of his hand.I turned his back to the floor.

I refused to look at his face.

"well, my words were rude to you, but, I'm just trying to be honest with you." said Jimmy.

"..... "

"well, now you can tell me why you need a big paid job..." Jimmy still forced Cathrine to speak.

"Freely I say, in your mind it's already engraved how the tiger woman I am.... Surely you will think... Ah, it's the same as the other woman who passed in front of us... " I answered.

"No... Big no's! I want to know what your reason is? So that I can help you... " Jimmy tried to pressure me to talk.

"I want to talk you won't believe... "

"I believe.... " Said Jimmy.

"I need money for my papa's heart surgery, pay the debt from my parents' ruined business, pay my adek school. Let him go to school. If I say you believe?!" I spoke with a firm tone.

"....... " Jimmy is silent.

"I know.. You won't believe it. But, here are the facts. That's why I want to work anything. I work in a field shop, I thank you.... Thanks to my employer... I can give my family money to eat and connect medicine.... Satisfied?

I'm sure you won't believe it. Yeah, consider me the woman you said I was..

I also realized....my physical does not deserve to be appreciated with expensive, therefore..I want to work!!"

I couldn't hold back my tears, I didn't notice them dripping a few times. It felt heavy, my heart was also satisfied to express what made me dizzy.

I wiped my tears and held my breath. Usually managed to hold back my tears that came out. I then looked at Jimmy.

he kept quiet and looked at me...

Jimmy then pulled my hand to stand up.

"Follow me now..!" he said and I was only able to obey.

Jimmy pulled me, we walked quickly.he took me in the middle of a crowd of late afternoon visitors. We passed through several shops in front of us trying to entice Jimmy to stop by for a look.

clutching her hand tightly, made me sick, and inevitably wanted me to go with her.

Then he took me to the parking lot. We headed to a black Suv. I've never seen this car used by Jimmy.

"Lake in!" Jimmy asked me to get in the car.

I was afraid to see him, and I followed him in. I put on my seat belt and sat quietly waiting.
