Jordan was silent looking at the bracelet that was now within his grasp. What happened this afternoon was like a dream come true.
He is currently in his room, sitting on the edge of his bed in sleeping pajamas while looking at the bracelet he found hooked on the long sleeves he was wearing.
"I didn't think you were still wearing this bracelet, and you still kept it very well" Jordan murmured softly as he looked at the bracelet.
Jordan lay his body on the bed he was sitting on, looking at the ceiling of his bedroom which was now only illuminated by the light in his room lamp.
"I want to see you again" Jordan said slowly with great hope.
...*...
Laura was silent on the floor while leaning against the wall in her restaurant, she sat down while hugging her knees.
He had searched various places that he had visited, looking for bracelets that he had used but he did not find anywhere. Laura completely lost the bracelet that had accompanied her for so many years, the bracelet just disappeared right when she met Jordan.
"What are you doing? Aren't you going home?" Ask one of his friends who is now working on a restaurant, he is cleaning a restaurant that is now closed. There was no one else but the two of them in there.
"I lost him." he muttered softly ignoring the words of his friend.
"Whatchu mean? Who'd you lose?" The woman hurried over to her friend, crouching right in front of her friend.
Laura drowned her head between the folds of her hands, she was lethargic and completely powerless. He had just lost the most precious thing in his life, something he could never let go of even to escape his grasp.
"Laura?" The woman called him again but there was no answer from the woman who became his friend. Laura just stayed silent in her guttural sense.
...*...
Like Monday before, that's how things are today. There was no sound at all other than the keyboard that was heard dominating the entire room they now occupied.
Aphrodite was still busy with her work, she took all her work very seriously regardless of the circumstances around her.
Lunch time is only about half an hour away, and they are busy with the work they have to do.
...*...
Jordan was silent, currently sitting on the sofa in his study. In his hands he was still busy watching the bracelet that he had been carrying around for a few days. Especially when his meeting with Laura managed to make him more thoughtful with the woman who became his idol.
"Where have you been hiding until now?" Jordan muttered softly watching the bracelet in his grasp.
Her attenuation switched when her phone on the table was lit revealing a call screen from her mother. Jordan took a quick glance at him, he had absolutely no intention of picking up the phone from his mother. He ignored his cell phone and decided to silence it. His phone went off and on several times, turning on, until it appeared that almost ten missed calls were coming on his phone.
"Laura... did you know that I've been looking for you all this time and still wish you'd come back for me?"
"I wonder how you feel about me…"
Jordan mumbled slowly. The door to his room on tap slowly made Jordan realize from his daydream, he turned to the entrance to find his secretary who was now pushing the door slowly and walked over to him.
"Sir, here are some files that you have to sign" the woman said as she thrust the file in her hand at Jordan sitting on the sofa. The man got up from his place, grabbed the file in his hand; went to his desk there and signed the file with the pen.
"It." Jordan re-stretched the file in his hand. "Now you can go."
"Good sir." He leaned over before leaving, his steps halting as he had just walked a step. He looked at Jordan. "Ng... you didn't forget the important meeting today, did you? The meeting is just a few minutes away from lunchtime."
"Meeting?"
"Rubber sir."
"You take care of it, right now I'm not feeling well. And I won't be able to focus on meeting in this body condition." Jordan walked back to the couch, grabbed his phone and grabbed his work coat hanging from his big chair and put it on.
"A-what sir? Me?" The woman was shocked, dead. He has not even prepared anything and his meeting will be on the title in the coming minutes.
"Yes. You can't, can you?"
"Y-yes. but sir."
"good. Then please convey my apology that cannot attend the meeting. Then excuse me, I need some fresh air to calm down." Jordan left the room, leaving his secretary alone in his room.
"But sir." the woman was speechless lamenting that Jordan had now disappeared behind the entrance.
"Aish! Die me! Then I only have a few minutes before the meeting starts. I have to hurry." He went from there, trying to prepare all the materials for the meeting that must be in his hands, replacing Jordan at the meeting.
...*...
Jordan stepped out of his office, waltzing down the sidewalk to reach the restaurant where he used to eat lunch. The place was quite comfortable for him to get calm and always managed to make him calmer, feel more comfortable compared to before.
Arriving there, he sat at one of the tables that were located quite far from the crowd. He immediately ordered a sweet tea with a aroma that could make him calmer, as soon as he just kept silent while staring at the window. Staring at the streets are quite crowded decorated by cars and pedestrians passing around it.
...*...
Aphrodite stretched her neck muscles as she felt her muscles calm down a little. He now stands with one hand holding a glass of drinking water that he just carried in the pantry.
Currently he is photocopying the files he must send to Mario as his superior.
A few sheets of paper came out of the photocopier, Aphrodite grabbed the paper; put it together as she should.
After stacking and combining in one file he then took it to Mario's room to send the file to him.
Arriving in front of Mario's room, he knocked slowly on his door slowly. After getting permission to enter, he then pushed slowly the door of his study. Walk up to the table occupied by Mario who sat there.
"Sir, this is the file you asked for," he said as he thrust the file right in front of Mario tang sitting in his big chair.
"All right, thank you."
"I'm sorry then." Aphrodite turned ready to step in but Mario stopped before Aphrodite was ready to step out of her study.
"Aphrodite, wait."
"Yes, sir? What's up?"
"You're not too busy, are you?"
"No. What's wrong, sir?"
"Please deliver this file to Jordan's secretary." Mario got up from his seat, thrusting a file on the table and giving it to Aphrodite.
"All right sir." Aphrodite.
"Now you can go."
"Good sir."
He continued walking down the corridor to Jordan's study, but as he turned almost to his study he accidentally bumped into his secretary.
"Oh, it just so happens that we met here. I want to give you this file." Aphrodite thrust the file in her hand.
His secretary Jordan glanced at him. "I'm busy right now, how about you just put it on Jordan's desk? It just so happened that Mr. Jordan was out so the room was empty."
"All right."
"Then I go first." The woman rushed to leave in a hurry, she still had to gather some other material before the meeting that she had to attend.
Aphrodite paused for a moment to look at the woman's back, which continued to walk until her figure disappeared behind one of the turns there. The next second Aphrodite sauntered into Jordan's room, knocked quietly on his door and walked up to his empty desk.
Aphrodite was silent for a moment before going out to admire the contents of the room so beautiful and comfortable.
"It turns out this is a Jordanian workspace," he murmured softly. Above him was immediately seized by the presence of a bracelet lying on a table near the existing sofa. Aphrodite frowned, she walked slowly toward the sofa to get a clearer look.
"Wristbands?" Aphrodite stood in front of the table staring at the bracelet from a closer direction.
"I don't know why but this bracelet is so familiar, where I've seen it, huh?" Aphrodite frowned. He took a closer look at the bracelet, it was a women's bracelet.
"Why are there women's bracelets here?" Aphrodite grabbed her bracelet and watched from a closer distance.
"Wait.. this bracelet…"
"Your bracelet is good" said Aphrodite, making Laura turn to him.
"Oh, this?"
"Yes. Where you bought it, I've never seen a bracelet this beautiful. You made it yourself?"
"uh? No, it's from someone special. Back when we were together he ordered this special bracelet for me."
"Oh yeah? Who her? Is she your boyfriend?"
"Ng.." Laura was silent for a moment, the water on her face turned a little moody. He was confused as to how to explain it to Aphrodite. "It doesn't seem important, I don't need to explain. My relationship with him is too complicated."
"So it seems…"
The memory came back to his mind. Aphrodite looked up, looking at what was now within her grasp.
"really. This is Laura's bracelet. I can't be wrong, let alone Laura ever say that this bracelet there is only one and it is hers. But... Why is it here?"
Aphrodite paused for a moment to look at what was going on right now.
Aphrodite rushes out her cell phone, searches for Laura's number and sends a photo of the bracelet she holds to the woman who is now her best friend.
...*...
"Welcome," said Laura kindly to some other visitors who had just entered the restaurant where she worked. Some of his friends immediately approached the visitors who were now taking a seat at one of the empty tables there. They immediately recorded the food in the message of the visitors who came.
Laura, who was preparing to cook, suddenly switched focus on her phone as soon as the rectangular-shaped object sounded.
"Message?"
Laura immediately opened the message sent by Aphrodite. Aphrodite sent me a picture of her missing bracelet.
Aphrodite:
Laura, is this your bracelet or not? I found this by accident, and it's exactly the same one you used.
Lauda stared at what he saw. Rushing he pressed the phone button there which instantly turned his messaging screen into a call screen.
"Hello?" Aphrodite's voice was heard from across the street.
"That's my bracelet. Where did you find him? A while ago I lost my bracelet. Do you remember when we met at the supermarket a while ago? That's when my bracelet went missing somewhere and I couldn't find it." Clearly Laura was quick to leave Aphrodite stunned across there.
"So, is this yours?"
"Yes. How did you find him?"
"That's…"
"Ah that's not important, but for sure I want the bracelet back. Can we meet this afternoon?"
"Sure, how about this break? We met at Frans' office. I'm going there this afternoon to have lunch with him."
"OKAY. Just send me the location, I'll leave right now."
"All right, I'll send you the location now."
"Yes." Yeah."
"Then I'll see you."
"See you too."
Laura immediately cut off her phone connection with Aphrodite. He immediately removed the apron attached to his body, removed his chef hat and went to the employee dressing room to change his cookery shirt.
"Please replace me for a moment. I have to go for a while, it's important and urgent. If the manager comes, just say that I have a sudden business," Laura told her close friend.
"OKAY. But... Where are you going?"
"Thank you, then I'll go first." Laura hugged her best friend as a thank you, after which she rushed away from there in a hurry.
Laura came out of the restaurant, ran to the highway and immediately looked for an empty taxi driving around her.
Once he found an empty taxi, he immediately asked the driver to drive him to the address Aphrodite had sent him.
His heart even thumped to hear the news brought by Aphrodite when the woman sent a photo of her bracelet and said that she accidentally found the bracelet.
"Thank God the bracelet met, I'm really happy." Laura muttered softly with a smile, she hugged the phone in her hand which now shows a photo containing a picture of her bracelet that was originally sent by Aphrodite. He will never forget this incident in his life.
"I owe him one more favor." he said softly. Laura was silent looking at the photo of the bracelet that appeared on her cellphone screen.
