Timeless Winter's
CHAPTER III
A week after that Jani and Ian got engaged. Like a dream, everything was boisterous happy. Jani sat daydreaming looking at her ring finger. Embedded white gold ring with a simple small diamond crown with a sand-shaped arcane around the ring. Unknowingly the girl smiled. Remembering the incident a week ago where Ian pinned the ring on his ring finger. Romantically. Happy, and I don't know what Jani sure hasn't believed.
Dreamlike
“ Brother Jani hayo smiles by himself.”
“ What is Mia, there is work .” Jani said to one of his workers with a smile
“ Masi morning sis, masi at 09:00. They keep busy to the office kak.” Reply Mia who then immediately sat in front seat Jani, bring *chamomile tea* and a piece *clafoutis*. Chatting coolly while talking about this and that. Jani is good, he never distinguishes the employees in his bakery, what he eats all his workers can taste it too. But when it comes to work Jani is very firm.
The clattering sound of the little bell that Jani hung at the entrance of the store signified that there was a buyer entering his cake shop.
“ Welcome to *La Petite Boulangerie*. There's something I can help you with.” Mia said with a smile. A few moments ago he was surprised when he stood up to welcome the buyer, who turned out to be a handsome man in a neat office suit.
A tall, straight man, handsome, his face firm with black eyes combined with thick eyebrows gives the impression of being more assertive in his eyes. His nose was high and his lips thin red as seen he had never touched a cigarette. As soon as the man entered Jani was able to inhale the scent of the man's perfume, the smell of tobacco mixed with spices. Sontak makes Jani fantasize about the man.
Jani patted – patting his head slowly. Expelling the delusion of the new curse just hit his head. How could he who was engaged and never thought of another man besides Ian, suddenly had a dirty mind just because of the scent of perfume. And unfortunately he imagines with another man and not his fiancee.
Shits.
Jani got up from the bench where she was sitting. Approaching Mia, send the boy backwards. He must seek busyness before the dirty thoughts run rampant. “ Anything I can help sir?” Tanya Jani is friendly. Today Jani wears a plain white blouse with brown jeans, black hair he ponytail so that leaves thin hair curled and near his ears. As usual, she refused to make makeup. Only a thin liptint smeared his lips that were already pink.
Quiescent. The man in front of him did not respond at all, only looking at Jani with a vision from the top to the bottom of the foot. “ Sir can I help you?” this time with a firmer voice and there was a slightly irritated tone.
The man turned his eyes to look at Jani. Not budging one bit. Passing Jani, sit on a table adjacent to a glass window. Jani sighed. He must be patient.
Handsome with no morals
“ Bring me the most expensive.” Said the man indifferently. Jani looked at the man for a long time, then walked towards the storefront and picked up some cookies. Then bring it to the man and then put it down slowly.
“ There are no expensive cakes in my bakery, only bread makes you happy when you eat it.” Said the girl then left, she did not care that the man looked at her half irritatedly. Fuck'em. People who do not respect food should not be appreciated. For Jani cooking is not a matter of making expensive food or not. Premium materials if wrong processing will also be the same. For Jani passion and love in the field of *patisserie*, make him always make pastry with all his heart, expensive affairs or not later for him. By looking at the customers who ate the cake satisfied and happy. For Jani it was more than enough.
Suddenly Jani's phone rings, see what the name on the screen makes Jani sumringah. He quickly ran back to the pantry.
“ Ochaann. Why didn't you come to my engagement show?”
“ I'm preparing to join a fashion show in the fall Jani.sorry me.” A female voice from across the street. Yes it was Hosanna Rosemaria, a friend who was like a sister to Jani. Because they are both single children and their parents are busy which makes these two beautiful girls familiar to each other.
“ But you have to come at my wedding later .”
“ If it must be Jani-ku.” Reply to the girl called Ochan by Jani. They spent almost 1 hour chatting. Past laughing. Jani is always happy when talking to his best friend, and vice versa. There are no secrets between the two of them anymore. Her parents, Ochan's parents. In fact, Ian always gives them time for girl time if Ochan is visiting Indonesia. Yeah, since they both decided to stay in Paris and work there for a while. Jani decided to return to Indonesia while Hosanna preferred to settle in Singapore.
Satisfied talking Jani out of the pantry. A small hum, a second later he was aghast. The proud man sat on his desk. Did not move and did not change one inch from the beginning he sat, even *macaroon* ad in front of him he did not touch at all. Jani breathed again. The mood's broken again. He almost passed through the door of his shop to restore his mood for a while as the man called out to him.
“ Pack all cakes here. Don't let anyone get left behind.”
“ Hah? Whahuh? “ Pekik Jani shocked.
After all wrapped up, the male assistant who had entered when his boss gave his signature with his hand. Start making payments. Issuing an *black card* that made Mia jump in shock. Done it. And not a single cake was left in their shop. Mia, comforting Jani while leaving was completely gone from their store. Seeing his big boss still pouting, Mis know that the girl is still angry.
“ Brother jani, don't pout. Later ugly wedding time.”
“ Damn it.Why do you follow the wishes of the arrogant man?”
“ Hi Kak Jani, windfall bergga can be rejected tau,” he said while patting Jani's back. “ right we can actually go home quickly today...Sister can date same babang handsome.” Said Mia who was immediately glared at by Jani. Jani sighed
“ Alright. For today we close, you guys just rest,” Sayings Jani greeted the spirit by Jani and some other workers. “ but remember tomorrow come early to make a cake, because our stock is empty.”
“ Good Boss.” Say them in unison. Jani immediately squinted his eyes. They laugh amusedly.
“ Today not so go home fast.” Exclamation Jani turned around from the sandstone pantr.
“ Kak Jani we joke., already Kak Jani sitting sweet in the pantry. I want closing the cashier and the others beberes.” Mia said as she pushed Jani into the pantry to get ready to go home. Mia knows that her boss likes to be called boss. Bizarrely. But let it be important today to go home very quickly and she will be dating.
Jani enters his study, which is near the pantry. Today his mood was bad because of that demon-like man. She is not a girl who *moody* but today her emotions are right – has been damaged by her customer. Usually he is always patient, annoying whatever the customer, Jani never to throw a rough breath in front of them. Today the exception, he had already lost to his emotions.
Jani frowned. He felt familiar with that man. The way he sits, the way he slips his hands nailed his pants while sitting. His body silhouette and the way he looked at Jani successfully made the girl nauseous. Yep. Right. Like the man who was at the restaurant when he ate with Ian, when Ian gave him the ring. Tpi Jani was also not too sure, because the place was not bright enough so he could not see clearly the man's face.
Coveted granddaughter arrives, Ian like know Jani's mood today. The man called. Make video calls
“ Hello dear,” soy sauce Jani spoiled.
“ Already eaten?” which is only answered with the head by the owner. “ want to eat with which? I bought a meal and then we ate at the store?” The man asked for Jani's approval.
“ We're out, the store is also closed.” The girl chimed in as she began to get ready.
“ Mean baby?”
“ I'll tell you later, quickly pick me up. I wait ya.” Jani said again which was immediately followed by the death of the video call. Jani sighed again, it looks like his date this time will be filled with – unek curses on his fiancee. And, yes, Jani does need it for now.
**
The clock has shown at 21:00, as usual Ian has taken Jani home. Today they are happy dating. Go to Dufan, go to the movies until dinner. If only papa Jani did not give a curfew limit, maybe Jani Masi did not want to go home. The mood is back, Ian is indeed *mood booster* most powerful for Jani. A moment after letting out all the unruly annoyance at her lover, everything improved. His emotions stabilized. And disinilaj they stop now. In front of Jani's yard.
“ Darling at 21.10, let me anter in.later papa angrily,” Said Ian persuaded Jani who was still hugging him spoiled. “ come on dear. Tomorrow I can see you again.” He said again, taking off his seat belt and then came out and opened the door for Jani.
Ian's habit after dating always leads Jani to enter the house. He always appreciated Jani, the woman.
“ Oh no guests like.” Jani exclaimed when he saw a black luxury car parked right at the entrance to his house. A moment Jani was astonished, he was a stranger to this car. Jani pails all the cars of his father's business partner. And almost 2 years he returned to this old house there was never a friend of his father who used this car.
And it's true. When Bi Ira opened the door. From the direction of the living room he could see his father chatting with someone he could only see his silhouette. “ Who went straight home. Papa new ad guest, later I will tell papa if you from here.” Said Jani as soon as they reached the door of his house. Ian nodded, kissed Jani on the forehead and whispered the word *I love you my queen*. Slow down, but make Jani's cheeks hot
“ *I love you too my King*.” Ian turned towards the car. Jani Masi looked at Ian, waving occasionally. Until Ian's car is right – is completely lost from his sight. He turned to the second floor, until...
“ January, there is someone who wants to meet you dear. Come here a minute.” Jani was astonished that his father's tumben introduced him to his business colleagues. Usually, the father is angry if someone interferes with their conversation. There was a feeling of – was not good, but the papa has called how else. Jani saw a man in a neat suit sitting back at him.
“ Come here son,” his papa patted the sofa beside Jani. According to. Jani sat down, after raising his head how shocked the gadia was. Boastful, arrogant man. That ruined his mood for almost a day. And the man is now in front of him. Smiling with his hands folded in front of his chest and looking familiar with his father.
