THE WAY YOU LOVE ME

64

"Lo's lucky to have a rich guy Jimmy. He grew up and did a lot of tails to Lo.tinggal lo aja that offset.. " Nicky defended Jimmy.

"Do you have bipolar ? I still want you last week still do not like Jimmy.. You even insulted him.. Now. "I'm upset.

"Because I can finally see what you guys are rich in.I'm pessimistic especially with Jimny's past.. "

"What's wrong?" ask Inez.

"That's it... Haha... " Nick laughed to himself.

"Neck.. After college courses what do you want to continue trainees?" I asked Inez.

"Either.. I want trainees to keep looking for work.. In effect.... "

Inez shut up and played her ice spoon. He was ashamed to say his condition.

"Lo why?" Ask Nicky.

"Gw takes a lot of money... My parents are not all.. I've been with my uncle all this time. The power this year last I can ride with them... "

"Oh.. That's why you want to use the motor again?" Nicky cut.

Inez just nodded. Meaning yes.

"Uncle I'm going back to sumatra. I have to find a job. Or I go with him to marry someone there... That's why I take a course to let work.. Huft... That's why I don't have another bike.... "

"You mean? The bike is on sale?" I asked.

"Yes.... I sell to pay for the same course as my allowance... So then... If you have work.. Please help me... " Inez smiled sweetly.

Nicky who used to like teasing inez until he was angry, even now silent without a word.

(Mobile phone sounds)

"Awhile yeah... Papa I called.." I'm a little bit away from them.

"Hallo pa's.. What's the news, pa?"

"Sendak.. Papa justan kangen.. You also haven't been home from school. Papa is better now... You can pick up your own motorbike.. " Papa's voice from across there.

"Thank God pa... Cathrine is calm. Ohiya, next month I start going to college... Pray well.. " I'm smiling.

"Definitely Nak.. Don't embarrass papa. Ohiya how's Jimmy doing. Sometimes the guy calls papa too. Attention as a man. You're good with Jimmy... " Papa's advising me.

I silently heard her, it seems like father's instincts are indeed strong as well. He probably feels like I'm not being good with Jimmy.

"Yes pa... I'm good with Jimmy. He took care of me very well..." I talked about covering my circumstances.

"Well, keep going later or tomorrow. Someone came to buy.. "

"Yes pa... Keep yourself healthy... "

Papa finished the conversation that afternoon. I smiled even though I heard his voice. The voice of the man who always calmed me from me was born into the world.

I then went back to my friend. They're still there, I'm sitting where I came from.

"Who's Cath from?" Ask Inez.

"Gw map... " My answer is short.

"Eh lo yourself why did abis finish the course?" Inez asked me back.

"Gw college... So join the internship program.... How's Nick?"

"Hmmm... Don't know, his se'mood heart just want to do... " The answer is relax.

"The rich are different... " Tap inez.

"Lo wants to be rich? Yaudah here is the same.. " Take Nicky.

"So what? She is very much your wife.. " Inez repulsedly replied.

"Ih.. Watch out if you like it the same. Gw refuse.. " Nicky glared back at inez.

"Udah... Uda... Don't fight. If you know the taste... " I laughed.

"Okay!!" They compactly answer.

Nicky then took a soda in front of him and drank it.

"Where are you going tomorrow?" Nicky asked me.

"Gw?" I shut up and remember. Looks like Yofie's wedding day tomorrow.

"Gw wants to do the same with Jimmy. I used to be a host here. His son was married. uh I just realized that you were trying to tell me about Jimmy's past.. What do you know Nicky?" My answer.

"uh.lo ask Jimmy yes. I don't have the right to say. " replied Nicky ketus.

**********

"Thank You yeah... Byee... " I waved at Nicky's car.

I saw a cell phone clock at 5 p.m. Then I went into the lobby to go up to my room.

"Just come home... ?" The sound in the back.

"Jimmys... " I looked up.

He smiled, so sweet his cheeks. He never bored me to look at it.

The elevator opened and we went inside. He took my hand, we have been a few days busy with our own business.

we went into our room. Jimmy put the car keys and the tablet on the table.I saw a pile of clothes that had been ironed neatly.

must be Sumi's mom doing it.

"Are you hungry?" Ask Jimmy.

"No, I ate the same waffle ice cream so it's still a bit full." I answered while putting my clothes in the closet.

"So... Meat ball yesterday was yours?" Jimmy asked.

I shut up and just answered.

Then Jimmy pulled me to stand in front of him.

I looked up to see his face.

"Other times.. You told me if you made anything.. Let me be more subtle in judging.. " Jimmy stroked my hair.

Cup.. He kissed my forehead. My face turned red with shame.

"I'm sorry... " I answered softly.

"For? " Jimmy scrunched his forehead.

"Because I grew up on your attitude yesterday. Because I'm mad at you... " I hugged Jimmy.

The smell of her body really makes me comfortable. The white shirt he wore made me crazy.

"We learn for the good of all..." Jimmy called me too.

Then we cleaned ourselves together. Yes, there is another relationship that I shouldn't have.

Obviously I want to be with my husband. Not with a man without a clear bond like this.

Jimmy ordered us to eat. He prepared everything on the dining table.

"So I tried the cake and lemon frosting that you gave to teddy sir... It tastes good and is quite close to bakery... " Jimmy said while putting our cutlery on the table.

"Yes.. Thanks..." My answer.

"Let's eat... " Jimmy prayed and we started eating together.

Simple dishes in my opinion, salad and butter rice with salmon. For Jimmy this is healthy food for our bodies.

I actually don't like it. I prefer sour vegetables and fried fish. Especially made by mama, I don't know at this time where mama is.

I hope he's in good shape - fine.

"Tomorrow do you want to go to the salon?" Ask Jimmy.

"Make?" I asked back.

"Yofie and Stacy's Wedding... Forgot it? I want us to come.. " Jimmy said while holding my hand.

"....... " I kept quiet and didn't answer.

"alright... I see tomorrow. I don't seem to have a dress either... Anyway, I should give them a look. If I look happy with you... "

"You're not really happy with me.?" Jimmy asked.

"It's not.... I'm happy.. Blissfully.. I wish I could be with you forever..." Reply reflexes.

Jimmy was a little surprised by my answer. His face turned a bit tense. Something seems wrong in my words.

"Is something wrong?" My toot.

"No... There's not all good.huft... "

Then Jimmy took care of our plates. I chose to wash our dinner dishes.

Every now and then I see Jimmy busy with his laptop on the porch. He chose to get some fresh air.

done washing dishes I watch television and see online news on mobile. I saw 10 p.m.

I put my phone down, and then Jimmy came to the homepage. He glanced as I opened the glass door.

"It's friday. You still working?" I asked.

"Yes, tomorrow morning I have an online meeting with a colleague. I have to prepare everything.. " Answer Jimmy.

"So want me to be with you? Or hot chocolate?" I'm offering.

"Give me some hot chocolate."

I went inside and prepared hot chocolate for her. Jimmy prefers bitter chocolate to drink at work.

I brought out Jimmy's favorite white glass. He looked and smiled when I came.

"Thank You's... Uh.. If you want to sleep.. I'll catch up later. So go first... " Jimmy finely said to me.

"alright.. Don't be too late... You could get sick... " I answered.

Then I kissed her forehead and left her inside. He looked back at the laptop seriously.

I put my body in bed. I saw the clock was almost 11 p.m. Rarely did Jimmy work this late.

I'm trying to close my eyes, actually I'm gonna wait for her to catch up with me. I hope I don't fall asleep first.

In my night I dreamt about my mother. There he seemed to suffer, the crying and the begging voice that I heard.

Jimmy's room was hot, too. I feel overwhelmed by this situation.

"Hahahh!! " I woke up.

I sat down and adjusted my breath. I was dreaming, it felt real.

I saw a clock on the wall at 7 a.m. The sun has entered the window.

I looked to the side, no Jimmy. Has he left? Where is the weekend so early..?

I took the phone next to my desk. There was a small note there, and I picked it up and read.

'I had an online morning meeting. I've booked a salon and clothes for tonight. Just come down at 1 o'clock. The salon was at the end near a red light outside the apartment.'

Right, he's gone first. I just nodded and started to clean myself up. At least I can eat and get ready first this morning.

Wall clock shows at 12 noon. I have also filled my stomach.

I went to the salon that Jimmy was talking about. Actually not so far away, the air was quite cloudy. It's good for me, so I don't sweat too much.

"Excuse me... Good afternoon... " I said hello when I entered the salon.

"Welcome, must be from Mr. Jimmy yes.. Let's go right here.." A friendly capster with a pretty face welcomes me warm.

*******

A white suv waiting in front of the salon. There's a guy in a neat batik shirt suit.

Before long a young woman with a knee-high skirt appeared. Hair that is left straight shoulder to shoulder with its simple make up.

The woman went to the car.

"Yes... This is what I want... " Said Jimmy.

"Thank you's.. I like it too.. Oh yeah, apparently you bought this shirt?"

"Yes, Fukuda's wife offered me. He brought some examples of clothes. That's all I feel suits you." Answer while running the car.

A pretty smooth trip. Apparently cloudy all day this is not a sign of rain.

We went to a star hotel in the business center. I think it's a pretty fancy hotel. Valet service welcomed Jimmy when he stopped at the lobby, they helped us park.

Then Jimmy and I walked into the lobby of the hotel. There's a signpost if we have to go up to the 5th floor to get into the Hall.

We follow directions only. Jimmy gave me his elbow to hold. I smiled embarrassedly at his behavior.

"I forgot.. Have you prepared the donation?" I whispered.

"Silent. By Mr & Mrs. Jimmy... " Jimmy tapped my palm for me to calm down.

I forgot about donations. I honestly don't remember if he needed a donation box.

Stacy is the son of a successful entrepreneur. He often showed off wealth when I was a hostel.

We also entered by showing an invitation. There seems to be a sign where we are sitting.

I bought a code of greeting to Om Rudi near the stage. I was quite surprised why we were given a seat close to the family area.

"Hallo baby, how are you...?" Aunt Non greeted me.

"Auntie.. Congratulations yes... Good news.. How aunt? It's beautiful tonight.. " I answered with a sweet smile.

"Good.. You're just getting pretty.. This is what your girlfriend is?" Ask aunt Noni.

"Yes, she's my aunt's boyfriend... Jimmy... Meet dear, mother of Yofie. Mama Kostku's.. " I pulled Jimmy's hand.

"Jimmy, nice to meet you.. " Jimmy gave a stiff salaman.

"Hallo... Noni... Oh let's sit down.. It's about to start.. " Aunty Noni invited us to sit down.

" A pretty fancy party... " Jimmy whispered.

"It seems so. "I answered.

The show soon began. A pair of small children entered from the main door by sprinkling flowers as a sign of the bride entering.

After the boy had advanced a bit, the bride came. I see Stacy is so pretty, yofie... Yep... He is indeed gallant.

It's not as tall as Jimmy and his skin isn't as pale as Jimmy's. But he was the first man I saw. My eyes did not blink looking at them until I went up to the stage.

What are my feelings, huh?

Yofie looked at me while on stage.

"The guy's still curious about you.. " Whisper Jimmy to me.

I just kept quiet and chose to eat the dish in front of me. Jimmy I got you that dish.

"True, that guy looks at you all the time... " Jimmy whispered again.

I was getting upset and looked at Jimmy for a while. Then I whispered.

"Do I care? Let's eat and go home."

"You don't want to touch them?" Ask Jimmy.

"No.. They knew I was coming enough... " Answer.

But the MC of the show called our names.

"Good next photo is the family of Mr. Jimmy Yons and his wife in please ride.. "

Jimmy pulled my hand, and he stood up. I wiped the leftovers off my lips, and then I stood up and walked behind Jimmy.

We go on stage. The atmosphere was quite awkward for Yofie. If I was, I'd stay cool. I'm with Jimmy.

After a few photos we took. I congratulate them. And so did Jimmy.

Yeah, I don't remember exactly how Yofie and Stacy responded. For me I want to quickly finish my food and my dessert.
