THE WAY YOU LOVE ME

69

My cell phone clock shows that at 8pm I was lying on my bed. In itself and silence.

I closed my eyes, am I too childish?

"I'm just too excited about this relationship?"

My mind is mixed indeterminately. What really happened, I actually wanted to talk to him on the phone.

every time I close my eyes, only Jimmy's face is there. I seem to have gone crazy.

just that sentence, can make her angry to the point of not contacting me?

I remembered my phone, and then I picked it up and turned it on. I wish there was a message coming in from Jimmy.

I waited.. a few seconds. a few minutes. a while. .. still no incoming messages from her.

I lay down and cry.Why is he ignoring me?

is he with another woman now?

am I not who now?

a lot of questions in my mind, made me almost dizzy.

I was exhausted and fell asleep in tears. Sadness and crying made me tired and asleep until I forgot to pick up my family.

******

we had breakfast at the hotel restaurant. I was tired of crying to the point of unconsciousness when Ghea and my father came.

we picked up some buffets and other dishes and sat down in an area full of sofas.

"Sister... Brother, why don't you come with Jimmy home?" Ghea opened the question.

I took my breath for a moment, I smiled at my sister.

"Sister there are still courses and preparation for college.. Maybe it's good brother stay here... " Answer.

"Ah... Where are our events today? I'm going to the amusement park. Keep on snacking, brother... " Ghea excitedly answered me.

"You guys, papa will sit if - if tired.. Papa is afraid of being too smart.. " Reply, papa cut Ghea.

"Hm.. Yes, good pa.. What's important is papa come with us... " Answer.

We also rushed to make breakfast. Then wait for Mr. Teddy in the hotel lobby.

Not too long ago, Jimmy's confidant came. We entered and continued our journey to the amusement park.

The street is a little twisting and a long way from our hotel. The traffic was heavy and sometimes we were stuck in traffic.

"It usually doesn't get stuck gini... " Sir Teddy opened his voice.

"Oh yes sir? It was an accident." I looked at the crowd of cars in front of me.

We passed him, apparently there was a collision in the Toll driveway area. The journey is back smoothly after that point.

We got to the amusement park, I went to the counter to buy my ticket.

My father followed with Teddy. Ghea and I walked ahead.

I remember the last time I came in here. Well, I was only 7 or 8. It's been a while...

A lot has changed, I rode the carousel with Ghea. I honestly remember the happy times of our family.

For a moment I could forget what my heart felt. Game rides are enough to keep me busy and vent all emotions in the chest.

Ghea waved, leaving me sitting with Dad on the corner. He rides with Mr. Teddy and his family.

I didn't expect Jimmy to bring his employees to picnic with us.

"Sister, you're happy now... Papa is ashamed of you... " Papa spoke to me.

"Why is papa ashamed?" My toot.

"Father can't give you what you need, until you have to sacrifice your heart... Your feelings to the man you just met ", replied papa.

"Papa should be seneng, son papa successfully educated well. Can live well until now. Hm.... I sincerely love this to Papa with Ghea.... Because I know Pa.. Any rich papa trying to live me.... " Answer.

"You must be happy, brother... You're a good woman, a good family child, too.... If one day Papa has to go... Papa wants Ghea to be able to find money to support herself...."

"Shhh.... Don't talk about Pa.. I don't like it, I don't want to think that way... I'm not gonna be ready to lose papa... " My answer is full of emotion.

"I'm sorry papa... You are a proud son of papa.... " Papa hugged me.

It's been so long I've never felt his embrace. Maybe take me to my childhood memories of when I was scared. Only he came and hugged me.

Calms me down, and says that everything is fine. Gave me a sense of security.

"Sister... You have to be a good mother. Should be better than the present, should be able to work and make money yourself.." Papa said to me.

I just nodded my head too. It was he who made me want to work as a waitress in a shop. For a few pieces of money.

*********

"You still think that woman?" Ask a guy to Yofie.

"Sometimes... . . " The answer is short.

He now has a gadget and laptop store in one of the malls close to the Cathrine apartment.

Yofie doesn't even know where Cathrine is. The universe rules everything.

"But when the day there are women passing by is similar to the girl who lo story. Sweet is also original.. "

"Fred... Where'd you see?" Yofie changed immediately.

"Through here fitting there girls want to work here. When, two days ago... " Answer Freddy.

"Oh I forgot.... Ohiya, when did the woman enter?"

"It should be now, just I forgot to tell you when to the girl... Haha... " Freddy's kidding.

"Excuse me..... " Inez came to the store.

Yofie turned to the direction the voice came from. Apparently a mature brown-skinned woman was standing in the doorway of the shop.

"Itez.. Come in here, I know our bosses... It's called Yofie... Yofie it's Inez... "

They shake hands, Inez feels awkward in front of Yofie. He thinks it's pretty interesting this boss too.

"Neck.. Let me tell you what we are selling and what it is. I'm in the cashier section.. Just if the pas gw or boss ga exist, you can be bit changed... " Obviously Freddy.

"Oh ok.... Please guide him... " Answer Inez softly.

"Lo want to guide? To the pelaminan yes.. " Freddy was teasing.

"Loah lo... I'm going first... " Yofie leaves Inez and freddy.

He chose to walk around the mall area. This area is pretty new to Yofie.

He also decided to stay away from Stacy. The crazy woman who is now his wife.

Cathrine's shadow and her sweet memories always bothered Yofie's mind. What's more, since Jimmy made it clear their relationship wasn't about living together anymore.

"Mas... Our boss is young?" Ask Inez plain.

"Yes young, but Uda has a wife. And his wife is so jealous.. Lo ati - ati if you meet. " Said freddy.

"Oooooo-o..... Why also deket - deket same boss... " Inez defended herself.

"That's why I know.. Boss is so good. But if the bini uda dateng, beh... Don't look like you're annoying, you can - can be chopped later.."

"The boss' wife is jealous, beautiful. I just got kicked out of Boss.. He was forced to marry, who in his girl senengin uda married another man... Boss is also trapped, let's sleep with his wife.. Sampe is pregnant.. " Freddy gossiping.

"Yeah Bro!" Inez cut out Freddy's words.

"Eh, why are you?" Freddy's shocked.

"The time is now... There is nothing about what is in the trap until it becomes a pregnant woman. Which are the same - the same.. Same - same height until finally so.. It's genesis.. Hari Gini still believes in being rich... " Inez is upset.

"Oohs.. That huh?" Ask Freddy.

"Yes obviously, sir.. Now this cat yes, will not eat fish.. If it's not saji'in in front of him. It might not be in the trap.. Is it rich in fictional stories?" Inez excited.

"The brain is stupid? Wanna believe?" Ask freddy.

"Yes kali... " Inez answered ketus.

************

Time goes by quickly too. My holidays with my family are almost over.

It's the last night my father and sister are in town with me. The day Jimmy came home.

Ever since I turned off my phone that night, he never called me again. Actually I don't have to pick her up.

"Pa... I'll go later at noon, abis eat.. Take Jimmy to the airport."

I opened my voice.

I shouldn't have picked her up. Especially with our fight. But, I lost to the feeling that was on my chest.

"Well, you go home now ... " Answer Papa.

"Well... How did you come home, Pa??" Ghea protest.

"The ghe.. Don't do that, your sister has a family. He has to go get Jimmy. They did not meet for long... Teach?" Papa answered back.

"That's pa? I'm not thinking back to where Jimmy used to be..." My answer.

"You guys have a problem, face it.. Escaping or avoiding it is not a solution, you just move into a new problem.. " Say papa.

I was startled and stared at papa deeply - deeply. Where did papa know?

"Why do you think that?" My toot.

"Papa has been married. It looks like your eyes are not bright... " Answer him.

"Oh, cook it up there?" I'm holding myself back.

I honestly want to tell Papa everything. But my mouth felt heavy saying what the truth was.

"It's ready - be ready first.. Greet Jimmy with your best smile and circumstances.. " Papa then smiled at me.

"Eh, you said you wanted to buy me a laptop? Same with internet.. So ngga? I'm going back tomorrow... " Ghea said.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. The older sister Temen works at that IT store. Later abis breakfast we abis, we go there yes... Deket the hell towards the airport as well..." I answered.

Shortly after we finished breakfast at the hotel. We headed to the Mall where Inez worked.

It's too early, 9:30 in the morning. Not many tenants were open at the time.

But we took a step towards Inez's shop.

Yes, he welcomed me to the door.

"Saayyanga... " Inez welcomed me and hugged me.

"Labbe.... Oh my goodness, work... Eh know this Papa same Adek me. " I introduced papa and Ghea.

"City .. Om... Hallo-o.. This is Ghea the most beloved of all Cathrine.. " Inez says.

"Hehe... Yes brother. Salam know yes.. " Ghea answered.

"Let's go in, choose the best one for adek lo..." Inez took us in.

We went in, and inside there was a man wearing a black t-shirt like Inez. I think he's a friend of inez's.

"Bro slide, I want prospects temen gw.. " Inez said to her partner.

There's something strange about Inez's friend. He looked at me without blinking, I felt so sad.

Is there something strange about my shirt?

Every move - my giggles in the eyes of that person. I felt sultry and stole a glance at inez's friend.

"Bro.. Lo why the hell is it?" Inez.

"Ah angga's... Uh, raven.. Freddie... " The man gave his hand to shake.

I welcome him, "Cathrine .... "

Both eyes glared at me hearing my name.

"Sorry, how weird are you?" I'm going to Inez.

"Tauk ni people, I like that is not clear. Uda biarin.. So what did you take? Wireless mouse is the same as this black laptop?"

"Yes Nez, pack! What else does a mouse pad need?" I asked Ghea.

He saw the headphones in front of him. I can see Ghea wants to have that thing.

"Adek wants that? The black one yes.. " I asked.

"Sister.. I want a white color list.. Can ya?" Spoiled Ghea.

"Yes... Can. nez.. Same with this yes... Debit card can be, right? I haven't taken cash.. "

"Can ... I'm sure I can call the bro.. " Inez left us inside.

He called his partner to help him. Soon they both came out.

The man helped Inez use the EDC machine for our payment. But the man's eyes were still strange to me.

Especially when I give my debit card black. There's my name and Jimmy's name there.

"Nez, I'll go first.. Take the same road to pick up Jimmy. Thanks for helping me... " I walked out of the shop.

"Gw who thanks you shopping for goods that make me have closed the target.. Thank you very much Cathrine.. By the way, Freddy how did you... I'm not so good.. "

"Maybe I'm similar to him. or it could be a lot of mind temen lo again that's why.. Yes, I did first.. Yea... " I'm leaving Inez.

Following Ghea and papa who had already walked to another store.

Apparently Papa got into the men's clothing store. Papa's at the cashier's table. I immediately followed papa there.

"Pa.. My brother paid... " I took out my wallet.

"Don't.. Just save the money, papa buy papa really.. This love is for your husband.. Papa knows how much, but this is a welcome gift from papa... " Papa gave me a shopping bag filled with clothes.

"This?" I opened it.

"Yes.. Give it to Jimmy... " Say papa.

Papa wants to pay himself clothes for his and Jimmy's. I don't feel the need to give it like this.

"Come, brother, we go eat. It's late in the day to pick up Jimmy."

We left the clothing store and went to the parking lot. Mr. Teddy was waiting for us with a fellow driver who was there.
