THE WAY YOU LOVE ME

49

"But if only.... If only...

Lo becomes in love with him.... What will you do? Survive this marriage.. Or will it split up too?" Louise pointed at Jimmy.

Jimmy was silent for a moment, he clenched his hands together.

"Gw belom.... Which comes to mind, I'm freaking Cathrine... He who chooses..... Because I was worried that my parents would know... " Jimmy touched both of his faces with his palms.

"Already Bro... You have to try, I'm on the team lo sm Cathrine... " Answer Louise, patting Jimmy on the shoulder.

********

I tidied up the laptop and put it back in the TV desk drawer. At that moment I looked at the flower that Jimmy loved.

"Why don't I get angry with Jimmy?" I talked to the flower.

I sat on the floor and looked at the flowers. 'Beautiful, you two are beautiful...'

I remember Jimmy's reply.

My phone rang, I saw a message coming in.

Jimmy: you want to buy something before you go home?

No, tomorrow I will buy bread at the station.

Jimmy: wait in the lobby, in 10 minutes I'll be there. We had dinner together.

Me : okay.

I hurried to change my clothes. I picked a dress along my knee. Simple pink dress.

I combed my hair, his smile had straight hair. I can look good quickly.

I'm picking up my flagship brown bag. But, I stopped for a moment.

I remember what Jimmy said.

"You'll have to steady yourself if you're with me."

I then took the Black handbag that Jimmy gave me. I put in some of my valuables.

I put on that tote bag. I went out and got Jimmy's apartment card (key).

I walked out and waited for the elevator. Exactly the number 10, the elevator opens. I go inside, fill only me in the elevator.

The elevator went slowly, I felt like I was deg'an.

Is this natural? Wanting to meet Jimmy made me feel uneasy at heart.

Almost the same when with Yofie first. However, this made me unable to stop smiling... Feels different.

The elevator reaches the lobby, the elevator door opens. I stepped out, the security guard greeted me kindly.

I smiled back at him too. I walked out, the black suv car was waiting for me.

The back seat glass is open. I saw a figure I clearly knew. Jimmy.

"Ride up!" He said rather loudly.

I entered with a flat face. In front is Mr. Teddy in control as our driver.

"Sir Teddy?" I was surprised to see him be our driver that night.

"Good night Mom... Please sit down, let me take this car... " Say Mr. Teddy politely.

"Sir, call Cathrine.. Mbak also gapapa.... " I smiled sweetly.

I glanced at Jimmy from the upper rearview mirror. He scrunched his forehead, his eyes glancing sharply at me.

"Already, walk sir." Jimmy mediated us.

Our trip was quite bright, even though the sky had been raining.

I peeked at the sky from inside the car.

"You're tumben wearing that dress. Dandan too?" Jimmy says.

"Yes, I really haven't worn this shirt..... I'm just wearing lisptic, powder, eyebrow pencil... What's weird?"

I took the glass from the bag.

My face looked ordinary, but I never dandy when with him. This is simple in my opinion.

"Too thick, next time use powder and lip dye that peach or nude only. Don't be red like that... "

Jimmy spoke but he didn't see me. How does he understand?

I was upset and threw my eyes the other way. We were quiet, awkward actually.

I haven't been away with Mr. Teddy in a long time. We are just the two of us.

We stopped at a Japanese restaurant. Maybe some kind of suki or grill I think from the billboard up front.

"let's go in, we eat and get ready for tomorrow.. " Jimmy pulled my hand inside.

I never ate in a place like this. I just obeyed Jimmy. he took me to sit at one of the tables that could see the view out.

"do you like it? sit with the street view.." I opened my voice.

"yes." replied Jimmy flatly.

in front of us was some raw meat.I still didn't understand how to cook and eat all this.

I kept watching Jimmy start cooking meat and sausages and he took some lettuce and filled it with rice and sauce.

he then ate it casually.

"what's delicious?" I asked innocently.

"good, try. .. bring your rice and your plate."

I gave him my bowl and jimmy filled it with ripe meat and he took lettuce, he filled it like he ate.

"open your mouth.

"make what? shame ah, just put it I'll eat myself." I'm ashamed if he bribes me.

"it's Fast!"

I opened my mouth, he put the lettuce.it was fresh, there was rice, meat and sauce.all mixed it in my mouth.

I chewed it to the end.

"how?"

"tasteful..it felt this way." I replied.

"of course, but in my country rarely rules such a meal. I also studied at school at the university. My friend invited me to eat at a roadside restaurant. if you are suitable, if you are suitable, are you willing to eat like this again?" Jimmy asked.

"of course, this food is delicious. why not... oh yes, when you were in college did you ever like a woman..?" silly question from me.

"ever, but she's married.I don't like her much anyway.I'd rather you... " Jimmy answered.

I just kept quiet, did not respond to Jimmy's remarks. back then I was innocent. still can not distinguish where seduction? which is sincere.

"you quiet? ash's! I must have tricked Louise, she said that if she said that women would smile and be happy.. " Jimmy put the chopsticks down.

my face was so upset.

"are you trying to seduce me?" I asked innocently.

"yes, you said this morning, we're dating.I'm trying to seduce you like other couples... " Jimmy explained.

"huahahaa... you're funny Jimmy. I never heard the sentence of seduction. Love statement alone never."

"forget it, let's eat fast. tomorrow we're on a flight at 10." Jimmy continued eating.

change me who put my chopsticks.

"flight? a plane?" i asked.

"i've never been on a plane ... what does it feel like to be nauseous?"

"don't you eat late. eat fast!"

I spent rice on my plate. Jimmy this time ate a fairly large portion.only this time I saw him eat that much.

***********

Yofie still faithfully peeked out from the window slit.he always wished for the lights to light up in Cathrine's room.so were the slippers lined up neatly in front of her room.

it's been a few days that Cathrine hasn't returned to the boarding house. Yofie does not yet know that Stacy has asked him to leave the house.

"yof, have you tried this suit?" Stacy pointed at the white coat beside Yofie.

"yet, I don't have time. I'm busy with this new project. "it points to the computer screen.

"hmm.. but you don't do anything with that computer.even your cursor is just em.." Stacy answered back.

"already, why the hell you are so complicated. I use what ajalah lo seneng.which is important you do not fuss. dizziness head gw." replied Yofie annoyed.

Stacy sat down next to Yofie, and she kept quiet and looked at her hands.

"lo still hope sm Cathrine? why are you different to this girl?"

yofie was silent and thought, he really felt strange.it should only make Cathrine an ordinary hostess.

"do you know? is he someone else's lover? he even wanted to get married" Stacy said.

"he wants to get married too please Stac. Iw also soon will be married lo. our position is the same right?" Yofie answered easily.

"but why are you so interested in him?"

"she's different Stac, she's cute.. plain.. and I feel she's different... please stop acting like this." replied Yofie.

Stacy stood up and walked away from Yofie.

"Please Stac, our marriage will still happen. But if you ask, how do you feel the same. To this day it is still the same.... I still love you just as much as when we were kids... Lo as my sister... " Yofie says.

It's free to talk to Stacy. His heart and mind were already hard according to his will.

Yofie just hopes that this marriage can be a way for him. Forgetting Cathrine and learning to love Stacy.

I went back to the apartment. Jimmy is walking beside me now. I see it, sweet face.

"Why do you keep eating?" Ask Jimmy.

"No! Your feelings only once. "I refute what I do.

"Tomorrow you and I go home together. But, I will leave you for 2 days. After that I'll pick you up and we'll be back together here.... " Jimmy showed me a piece of paper.

I read it, it's a plane ticket. On behalf of him and me. We're going home together?

"Then will you sleep at the hotel?" I asked.

"obvious.. And you accompanied me. Remember. You're my personal assistant.." Jimmy said as he tidied some clothes into his backpack.

"But, what... "

"Enter many but not many. Just give it a go!" Jimmy kept my mouth shut.

That night we decided to go to bed quickly. I heard Jimmy snoring, his voice not so loud.

But, I can't close my eyes.

The feeling of pleasure and my heart pounding. I'm going on a plane for the first time in my life.

Jimmy seemed to know I couldn't sleep. He hugged me from behind.

I could feel her breathing on my shoulder. It's quiet, cozy and warm that's what I got with Jimmy.

"Sleep, I won't let go of my arms until you sleep. Or do I have to make you tired of the new you can sleep?" Jimmy said as he closed his eyes.

"You know where I can't sleep... I'm grinning but also scared.."

"Here you go, close your eyes.. I'm here, everything's gonna be fine... "

His words were like a mantra, I could instantly close both my eyes. I slept well that night. In the arms of the man who now lives with me.

.

.

the wall clock shows at 7 am. I am still asleep in bed. sayup heard in my ear someone was bathing. I tried to open both my eyes.

"awake?" ask Jimmy.

he stood beside me, his face looking fresh.I only replied with a nod of the head.

"shower and prepare yes, we need time to get to the airport .. " Jimmy sat down next to me.

I woke up and collected my life, I was quietly praying for a moment that I was still awake that morning.

I got out of bed.I cleaned myself, it felt fresh warm water coming out of the shower.

I couldn't stand to see my hair getting greasy. I immediately washed my hair, jeez the itching and blisters disappeared instantly.

I hope my hair doesn't come back.

after I finished using the towel to cover my body.I went out and looked for my clothes..

uh, where's Jimmy?

I quickly flash in my clothes and dry my hair. Then I look for the man, where is he?

not long after Jimmy came in from the balcony, I was surprised to see that he was ready.

"you want to leave now?" I asked innocently.

"of course, we need 1 hour drive. check in ticket, for breakfast there.quickly we leave. mobile phone, wallet and your clothes bag have been prepared earlier.you just have to take it... "

I looked at the pile of bags near the exit.he properly prepared everything, I was still relaxed with myself.

Jimmy took the bag and he gave me a black tote bag, and I took it and carried it.

we got out of the apartment and walked to the elevator.

the elevator was open, we were there. I smiled to myself looking at our reflection from the elevator wall.

"is something strange?" ask Jimmy.

"no. I don't know every time you're with me it's like a smile." I replied.

Jimmy's face turned red.he was ashamed to hear my words.

the elevator was open, we arrived at the Lobby.we also walked out to the parking lot.There Suv car was parked last night again.

Mr. Teddy greeted us, he opened the trunk and put all our stuff in. I got into the middle seat of the car with Jimmy.

after everything was ready, Mr. Teddy ran the car. We went on a pretty smooth journey.

according to Jimmy usually he had to face 3 points of traffic jam before arriving at the airport.

about 1 hour less we arrived. Mr. Teddy dropped us off at the Drop Off sign.

all of our belongings were dropped off at the airport.

after that Mr. Teddy left us. I was the first time there fascinated, usually I only see on tv series.

I am now at this airport.

Jimmy took my hand, so I could wake up from my daydreams. Then he pushed trolly inside. There were some baggage checks.

I didn't understand it at all, even I followed Jimmy until we got to the waiting room.

there are several shops selling souvenirs and food.

Jimmy went to buy us breakfast. I chose to sit by the window and the entrance to the plane.
