17. Meeting again

Beauty technology is growing rapidly with the desire of people to look beautiful, why? because your world seems easier when it captivates many people.

Not that when your face is not in accordance with the standards of beauty then your life will be miserable. Not so buddy but isn't the beauty who is good at cooking easier to attract people than the ordinary who has the ability to cook well?

Danar stared from the end of the table. He's waiting for me to respond. Actually I'm quite surprised why they didn't go looking for the table themselves and I was too reluctant to offer to join.

I just smiled faintly returning Danar's gaze then placed the spoon on the edge of the coconut. Fortunately they came when the table was finished so I did not have to linger near Danar and his beloved. I don't think there's any need to mince words with them either, I don't know them.

Danar's lover's gaze was uncomfortable to see. It feels like I want to claw using crab claws but unfortunately even crab claws have been said I eat. I then stood rushing to the cashier's desk to ask for the bill and pay for all the orders.

"Excuse me.. I'm going to the cashier first". I passed Danar and his girlfriend. Strange couples stare at people like they're looking at aliens.

"Do you know where my brother is?". Bian asked when we arrived at the parking lot. He opened the car door for Me, at first I was flattered for his attention but the feeling was immediately clear I remembered yesterday's incident when my car door was closed hard.

"In the Cafe 'About Soul'."

"He's approaching you?". Bian asked in wonder. I grumbled in my heart why I didn't get in Rian's car so I didn't have to answer Bian's question. I don't know why I was following Bian instead of Dewo and Rian, it seems like lately I've been losing focus.

"Groot!". Bian's call jolted me.

"Oh, I'm ashamed to tell you so how many days ago I was with Natasha having coffee in the cafe 'About Souls'. Coincidentally met my ex-wife. There was a misunderstanding that made us quarrel and it made your brother less pleased".

I scratched my head that wasn't scratching. Shame also tells of the commotion that started because of Cahya.

"Oh". I looked at Bian greget explained at length, the answer was just that doang.

"Why? how curious".

"I don't know too many people here" . Bian answered briefly. I nodded my head like a woodpecker hearing Bian's explanation. Two brothers with a charming look. How would his parents look if his two sons were so handsome.

"What do you think?".

"Eh, it's nothing". I answered quickly as if afraid Bian could read my mind.

"Do you have a girlfriend, huh?". I looked a little surprised at Bian's frank question. He was so strange to look silent but did not hesitate to ask straightforwardly.

"There's not".

"That means there will be"

"Yes, Bian, I have to be single to old". I chuckled at feeling funny with my own answer whereas Bian was back flat as usual.

"Who knows to be single until old".

"Ih ogah".

We then dissolve in each other's minds. Why did Bian suddenly ask my girlfriend. My mind wanders where to imagine the pain of being left behind by Adicolor. To be honest there is a feeling of not worrying about running a relationship with another man.

"Eh, it's at your house". I looked at the window. It doesn't feel like we've arrived home.

"Thank you, Bian. Not stopping by first?". I'm in a stale manner answered by Bian's arm.

"Thank you for the deal".

"She relax". I shook my hand as if it was nothing.

"We're in the red zone again". Mama sighed heavily as she said while pouring rice into Papa's plate.

"Yes how long yesterday the green zone so make people off guard. Green does not mean free to do anything". Papa responded to Mama while glancing at the two of us because we did go out more often than Papa and Mama.

"It was Pa who came from outside the city still in and out until now. Some were infected from those who came from out of town".

"Your figures are careful to apply 3M well in boutiques and Miepa. Your employees, too, are watching them well".

" Yes Ma"

"Don't forget to wear a mask".

" It must be Ma's trading Orchids too".

"We'll continue eating first". Papa finished our conversation.

Miepa's sales have plummeted compared to last week rather than buying a more expensive drink from a kilo of rice. People better buy basic necessities.

These few days Papa gets a WFH turn. Miepa and the boutique are on holiday today. The rainy season adds to the visitors. At times like this, my brain and Dewo are actually actively making content.

I'm editing photos for instagram even though the endorse follow-up is down but better than just lying down when finished uploading photos on instagram there is an incoming message from Natasha.

"Bebs follow the virtual gymnastics yuk?"

"Six? who's the instructor"

"Friends I ntar I sent the link already I'm listing n payin"

"Eh I don't feel good about not changing"

"Don't change 20 thousand if 20 million new I ask for a change"

"Hahaaa. okay bebs".

Today with the condition of the red zone forced me to look for activities in the house to fill the day but my brain continues to think how to make money during this pademi.

This academy either ends up like the single status of Ku who also does not know when it will end.

Some shadow of the past re-emerged in my mind. Orchids in school days were a joke for someone's 'boyfriend. My friends often make Me as a person who will not be made their girlfriend.

"Budi girlfriend Orchid" Then Budi will be angry because betrothed to Orchid. No one likes the idea of making Orchids their girlfriends in school and college. That's when Doni used to defend me. When Adicolor enters life then my life is so colorful.

When Adiwarna left Me on my birthday last year I did have a bad time but I also rose because of my adult age. Forgetting Adiwarna to work hard and develop business and establish a wider circle of friends makes me think of many things not just relationships.

I'm still the Orchid that used to be just now I'm more confident in the abilities that exist. Natasha gives a lot of input for appearance and invites more attention and care for yourself. These are the things that make Me believe in My abilities so how many people in the past when met said that I am more interesting now.

So if now I can try to open myself up again like when Adiwarna is present. I don't know let me now enjoy the days.

I immediately took the pillow and took the ready position to fall further asleep rather than thinking about things that do not know the clarity better restore the body's energy. May this pademi end soon and end my single life and for now I try to dream first.
