THE WAY YOU LOVE ME

8

I walked fast. Luckily my boarding house was only separated by the ground and a small garden.

I live in a boarding house in elite housing. It is located in one of the alleys that directly leads to the center of the main road.

It is enclosed by several shops and commercial centers.

Lots of trees there. But the people around diligently tidied up. Somehow for them it is less comfortable if the atmosphere is dark at night.

I stopped my steps, less than a few more footrests I arrived. But I saw a car parked.

But, it's not Jimmy's car. I walked again pressing my steps. Don't make it sound.

But I hid to the side. Someone is out of the house.

My heart is pounding, I don't know why my heart is calm. Looks like something's gonna happen.

The deg!!

That's Jessy...... Her.... He's together... Mr Lutfi???

I shook my head, I almost gawked at them...

Jessy hugged with affection. Their foreheads meet each other and their body gestures like very intimate of their relationship.

And.... What??? (I shut my mouth).

Finally they left, I directly jumped over the small fence from the chain. It was deliberately installed by residents in front of the alley.

I immediately unlocked the fence.

"Huh!!" I screamed.

"Cathrine" Esyeh screamed as well.

We both passed by, how shocked I was. The woman wore a mask and had long hair. Almost dislodged my heart seeing her.

"Lo what the hell? Can the hair in the iket what's the mask in the dislodged. I thought it knew!! " I'm angry at Esyeh.

"Sorry, cici buru.. Wanna see Jess... What did you see earlier?"

"What sight?? " I answered while holding my chest. Still beating fast it feels.

"She's the lhhoo goes the same om - om.."

"Huh?? I don't see it.. Did you see? Don't be original.. " I snuck inside.

Esyeh followed me inside. Then he pulled my hand.

"Sit Cath, I'd like to say... "

"How's yeah? Gw dengerin's.... " I answered lazily.

I sat on the living room couch.

"Gini, I've time gone to see him as the same old man as well. Don't don't let him be simple, so you can buy this. The clothes are all good, too..."

I immediately scrunched my forehead. I dare not say anything.

"Keep on Cath... I've never heard right on the set, he was calling because - because of playing a hot movie. All the same as it... Idihs... Look out for him in the same room... "

I sighed quickly and closed my eyes for a moment.

"The beautiful brother of Esyeh... Big-grown Esyeh and my good hostel friend.. We'd better not hear people say. Ask directly... Anyway, I'm tired of coming home from noon... Eh know behind the story like this...

You ain't it? Rich no other chat material... "

I stood up and took my bag.

"After all, yes.. Want him to say also we can not even a little judgment and talk behind the back. I thought, if I didn't exist. You must have talked about me too. Yes, I want to sleep. Tomorrow there are still a lot of fatty dishes that I wash...

Good night.... "

"Eh, the balloons are done. You were asked to go instead.. Here first." answered Esyeh following me walking behind me.

"Yes is yes ... I'm going to bed.... Byeee..... " I didn't care about it and went straight into the room.

Docs... Doc..... (Knocking on door)

"Open first Cath... "

Hmh... Hmh... (Locking door)

"Cath!! Uh lo ya... Must belain him because - because you live free just as eating often in buyin he right.. Look at it when it has a problem.. It must be lo will ngelakuin rich gw...!"

I don't care about his chatter. I was busy opening my shoes and getting ready to take a shower.

It was fresh when the warm water flushed against my body. Still remembered the pile of dirty dishes I met today.

But more remembered the kindness of my boss. How they accepted me and paid me well. Ever since I started working I could eat reasonably.

I dry my hair with a small towel. Then I sat on my bed.

I took my phone from my bag. I saw a lot of calls from my mama and my grandfather. There are many messages they send.

'Sister 'Sister. If you have mama.'

'Sister 'Sister. Mama's going to buy papa's medicine tomorrow.'

'Sister, mom borrowed 200k to buy papa's medicine.'

'I'll reply if I have. Mama wait for the money.'

'Brother, sad boy. Papa had a tight chest and sweaty legs. Papa must buy medicine as long as it has not been installed Ring. But my mom has no money. Adek also has not been paid from the results of ngajar kak. How should Adek? T.T'

I patted my forehead, I've only been working for a week. I just had 350k. And now they need that money.

I closed my eyes while holding my phone. I opened my eyes and pressed the reply button on my sister's message.

'Grandpa, sorry brother just replied. Tomorrow morning I send money to my mom. Buy papa some medicine first. Pray for brother deck, brother will give you a better life. Brother dear adek.' Send.....

I pressed the call to Jessy. I don't care what he's doing and what he wants. I want to send money through it.

"Cath Hall... " Jessy's voice is a little muddy.

"Sorry Jessy, I'd like to ask you a favor... Transfer money to ade gw 300 only. This I have cash but it is malem, I can not go to atm. Sorry, can you?"

"Can.... Biissa.. I will later hear about yaa... Byee.... " Jessy immediately closed my call.

I just kept quiet and looked at my phone. What wind is there with the boy?

I put the phone to the table by the bed. I lay down and looked at the sky.

'What I sell myself, so that papa can be helped.... Sell yourself once... It won't be again... '

'Don't!! Lo aja dating ever. Body lo is also not okay. Your face is normal, where is the practice?'

'Yes, it is, diligent work with the tube. But once your fate changed... '

Yes that is my mind that is always floating. Especially when I'm going to sleep at night. A lot of things stuck my mind.

My responsibility as a first child. As an example for my brother, and as a person who should be devoted to my parents.

I chose to close my eyes. Wishing that all that happened was a dream. Dream of what passed, and get back up on my soft bed. My room is comfortable and cold.

That night Jessy sends a message that she has sent money. I'm alone tonight, it seems he'll spend the night somewhere else.

The day changed, this afternoon I was preparing to go to the stall where I work. I combed my hair and put it on the dresser.

Jessy in the mirror was looking at me. But his eyes were like holding something.

"Cath, you mean you've stopped casting?" Jessy opened her voice.

"In the meantime.most not enough money to pay the same cost to eat... If I take off, we can cast again... " I answered while peeling my cheek.

"How much are you paid to be a waiter? Enough to eat lo? Do you want to work together?"

I heard Jessy's words.

"Lumayan, at least I can eat and send my family. This is the money I put on the table yesterday. Oh yes it's noon.. I'm leaving yeah... "

I stood up and picked up a brown sling bag. My proud little bag, where I'm going is with me.

"Wait Cath.... Lo belom answer.. "

"What?" I scrunched my forehead.

"Yes the cooperation.. You help me bring the goods and others. I can give you the same rich salary to work there. But I want to go where I am."

"I thought yes, but I went to work first. It's gonna rain, I gotta hurry. Yee...."

I left jessy, I don't know and I don't want to be the way I used to be. How he treated me on location.

It is not a luxury place, where I seek fortune. But I calmed down from worry. Worried about what to eat and how much I'll pay.

I can meet a lot of people and I can go home naturally. Even though my parents don't know where I work.

Crings..... (Call)

I took my phone out of my pants pocket. I saw this screen from my mom.

"Hallo mom... "

"Sister.... Thanks for the money, mom bought papa's medicine and bought rice... "

"Thank God ma... How are mama and adek there ... "

"Mama good brother... But mama wants to talk.. Papa you brother... "

"Why else ma?"

"Father wants you to go home. Just gather here, don't go again. Papa's like losing something valuable for a few days."

"... Ma's.... If you have enough money, my sister will go home.. Make your own money... Brother again nabung for papa operation. Mom wishes brother yes... "

"Yes son... Mama must be praying for sister, mama is now at home. Mama Kasian clay adek if mama lives the same RT show RW continues."

"Yes ma.. Ma, yes it was... Brother wants to work first. Tomorrow, just keep going again.. Bye maa's.. A healthy mom... "

I immediately disconnected my mother's call. Not without reason, I'm getting heavier if I keep hearing mama tell me stories. Let me focus on making money right now.

I looked at the slightly overcast sky. "Why are you cloudy? Know my mood, right? Come back bright and excited!!"

I continued my steps up to the front trading center. Many buyers are already lining up in front.

The great thing about uda and uni is that they taste good and clean. Many offices entrust their lunch.

Same with the queue this afternoon. It's only 10 but the order queue is long. I rushed to wash my hands and help Uni to prepare a cardboard meal.

***********

Jimmy attended the shareholders meeting. He stands as the largest shareholder. Judging from their trademark this is household electronics.

But Jimmy's mind came back at dinner. He couldn't stop thinking about Cathrine.

A sweet, innocent woman. Even Jimmy still had the sweet smile of Cathrine.

'This is the prayer that Mira said in her letter. For me to find someone else as his replacement?'

Jimmy clenched both his hands. His chin rests on his fist.

'it's too early for me to think about that woman. Mostly she is like the women of my friends. It takes money to sell itself.'

Jimmy still thinks Cathrine has other goals...

'definitely the woman has another purpose. her friend has become a lutfi woman. there is no way she is innocent to me. I cannot be careless or kasian.'

"we end the ritual tonight.thank you ladies and gentlemen." said a woman at the end of the room.

Jimmy immediately stood up and buttoned his black suit.he walked to the end where the woman was standing.....

not to meet, but indeed the door was only behind the woman.all the audience went out one by one.

but the woman stopped Jimmy's steps.he stood right in front of him.The young woman in a black and white suit, hair bangs tail shape and red brick lipstick.

"wait Jimmy, can we talk?" said the woman with the name tag Fanny.

"what's up? here, I don't have much time." Jimmy answered tightly.

"why are you ignoring my call? why do you answer lunch and dinner? and who's the woman you took yesterday to the parting party?" Fanny immediately asked Jimmy in a less than pleasant tone.

"i'm busy, sorry and that woman she's my date.why?" answer Jimmy casually.

"why bring that woman? didn't I tell you, if we just go together. is there a problem?"

"no, I just want to change the atmosphere. if it's finished, then I first. there's still another event.excuse me."

Jimmy left just like that.he didn't budge at all.

Fanny is actually a good and smart woman, but Jimmy was never interested in her. For Jimmy better Fanny gets another man than him.

Jimmy got into his sedan car, he chose to sit next to the driver.

mr. Teddy was next to him holding the wheel. Mr. Teddy gave me a bottle of mineral water. Jimmy receives and drinks it, almost half the bottle ends up in Jimmy's drink.

"what was the woman seen on the scene? or at the office?"

"no sir, it's been almost a week I haven't seen him. if his friend still I see wandering around."

"who has information about who hit the woman?" jimmy asked while playing his phone.

"his friend... "

"what?!" Jimmy looked at Mr. Teddy.

"yes, her friend was involved in one of the illegal film productions and they needed a supporting cast. Therefore the woman was invited."

"w**!! why do they keep doing it! it's enough Mira to be a victim of what's in their brains.it's stupid if they believe in the dirty film industry like that."

Mr. Teddy just shut up, he then started the car engine.

"the point is I've been willing to revoke my capital for them. I help them in talented young people, but they prefer to produce dirty art like that."

Mr. Teddy just nodded and they left the meeting hall. Jimmy looked at the city streets that were starting to get stuck.
