Like the puzzle is not yet intact
that's the relationship that just started
there are pieces to look for
to be rearranged
I know it's not gonna be easy
but this is the path I chose
I will keep trying to reach
blissfulness

I headed towards Miepa with a carefree heart. Bian's phone woke me up this morning to be a booster for today.
Rika's look, Bang Ipul and Andi were a little surprised. Is it so obvious my attitude changes are more cheerful.
"Old Sister, Beautiful today." Rika today is wearing bright red clothes like red peppers. He did not seem to know neutral colors because all of his clothes were strikingly colored.
"It's usually ugly, huh?" I teased her, Rika was being misbehaved. He was afraid of mispronouncing.
"It's not so, Mom. I rarely smile in the morning." Andi made clear Rika's intentions.
"So you like it when I'm not smiling?"
"Like to smile dong, ma'am." They answered to make me ticklish.
I gave instructions to Miepa Branch's kitchen team for today. I love the way Rika and Andi understand the instructions I give. They easily analyze the orders I ask.
After finishing business in Miepa. I headed to the pentol booth at the minimarket and drove to the boutique. I made sure all my efforts went well today because after lunch I was going to the airport to see Bian.
Natasha was eating fruit when I came. I felt a pain in my teeth watching him chew young mangoes in the morning.
"Your cravings aren't over, Nat?"
"It is, but my mouth still has acid. Uh how's the development with Bian." My face warmed up hearing Natasha's question.
"Last night I ventured to accept Bian, Natasha."
"Assyikkkkkkkov.. So how's next."
"Bian is going to Jakarta today. He'll talk to his parents about our relationship. I'm still waiting for the next story."
"I'm also still waiting for Bian if it's for maternity photos"
"Yes, too." I saw Natasha's stomach start poking.
"Nat later after lunch. I'm gonna give a shit, go to the airport?"
"May, Go now there is already a Tania handle for online sales. For now offline purchases are not too crowded."
"Thank Nat. Oh yes to your minimarket how to run it?".
"It was from my grandfather who started it. There are already employees holding one area. I'll just control it."
"In front of him I was also thinking of trusting one person as the controller so just accept the report and check it out not as a whole I'm holding."
"Yes, it can work if everything is done alone. Oh yes, Orchid today you are more cheerful and fresh. It dong appearance neater, Face treated so as not to be haggard". Natasha is observant she can see my face is polished thin make-up.
"Now I have time to pay attention to appearances."
"It used to have but it was just your base." Our conversation stalled because there were shoppers who walked into the boutique. I saw my device flashing with a green message notification.
"Morning, Honey. Can I pick you up for lunch?".
"Aren't you leaving today?"
"Lunch at the airport cafe?"
"May, pick it up at the boutique, baby."
"Okay, see u."

It was 10:45 when Natasha approached me on the second floor.
"There's a Bian downstairs, Nggrek. This time he refused to let me go upstairs. Natasha chuckled she still remembered Bian's embarrassed face when he was forced to meet me on the second floor how many days ago.
"Yes Nat, we're early to the city. Sorry yes."
I found Bian waiting outside the boutique. He's driving me to Innova's car. Turns out Bian took an online taxi. He opened the back door of the car for me not long after I sat down. Bian sat next to me.
"So straight to the airport?". I choked when I saw who was carrying the car. I thought the online taxi was Danar. He looked at me with a murderous look.
"Let's go with Danar. Better wait at the airport so there's no need to rush." Bian said casually while leaning on the chair. I kicked her leg as a code for letting her brother sit in front alone.
"Sick, Orchid." Bian even amplified his voice. I'm a dick as I remember Danar driving a Jeep. The taste is almost the same as Adicolor. All the way, only music accompanied us. I chose silence instead of looking for trouble with the driver.
I kept a quiet attitude, When the three of us had arrived at the airport and headed for the cafe in the rest area. We immediately ordered food for the three even though Danar apparently chose to sit separately in the cafe.
"You didn't tell me it was with Danar." My eyes looked accusingly at Bian.
"She insisted on coming later she could drive you home."
"No, I'd better get home by taxi online. Danar didn't come to Jakarta?". I still awkwardly call Danar big brother.
"He leaves on the plane the morning of tomorrow. Brother Danar is actually good, Orchid." I just smiled a little not knowing what to respond to. Either way it's Bian's brother.
"Andar told me you've been betrothed and asked me to stay away from you."
"Yes, I know but it's just a bluff. It's Diandra who reports on our relationship." There was a dislike that Danar showed when he mentioned the name Diandra.
"Sister Diandra at first I thought a warm and friendly person."
"Is that so?" Bian seemed reluctant to respond to the conversation about Diandra.
"Bian I'm worried about your match with Tasya."
"Why should I worry? I refused it from the beginning. It shouldn't be a surprise if I turn down."
"Why did you refuse Tasya. Said Sister Diandra, She's a beautiful girl and from a distinguished family."
"If I like it. It's not a problem but I just consider him a friend. To be honest, our family is more complicated than your family. Why is there such a match."
"Why not be paired with Danar?. He's above you, isn't he?" I pointed with my chin towards the man who was relaxing with his dress.
"He's playboy". I immediately understood Bian's intentions. Tasya may refuse to be juxtaposed with Danar. Immediately I remembered Danar's lover.
"Bian said Brother Danar you were heartbroken because Danar's lover chose him."
"Yes when I was younger. I noticed women from her visuals including her lover brother Danar but when she found out who Danar was and who I was. He chose Danar..."
"Groot!!!!. Our conversation was cut short when a man greeted me. He is handsome with a high-end appearance. His veneer teeth glittered white like pearls.
"Kenzo." I was surprised that I was not alone with Cahya when we double date in college.
"You're slim now used to be fat." I grinned with Kenzo's honesty.
"Anyone, Ken? Meet this Bian. Bian introduce this to my friend Kenzo in college." Kenzo nodded his head towards Bian. He then fixed the mask that was on his chin.
"Yes alone. Orchid, Cahya is married to Adicolor huh?"
"Yes right.. You know where it's from?".
"From your social media frenzied past time. When we used to double date we actually accompanied them." Kenzo chuckled unruffled, making me laugh. This time I could laugh at both of them.
"Eh I'm first. Check in, Mari Orchid and Bian"
"Who the hell? Very tight." Bian looked at me not like it. Looks like he's distracted by my interaction with Kenzo.
"Former Cahya, Formerly Me and Adi had double date with Cahya and Kenzo. Uh Cahya and Adi are married."
"Oh but now there's me."
"Yes dong dear." I smiled sweetly at Bian. Two waitresses approached us to deliver a food order.
After lunch and talk for a while. Danar and I drove Bian to the entrance.
"See you soon, sweetie."
"Be careful, Bian."
We're under Danar's watch to talk more intensely. He is a very protective brother. I immediately turned towards the exit of the airport when Bian was no longer visible.
"Where are you going?" Danar teased my steps.
"Go back to the cab." I confirmed that sentence.
"Good." Danar sauntered leisurely in front of me. Recalling Danar I felt what I was afraid of about the Bian family was not what I expected but when I remembered Diandra. The thought instantly vanished.
What does Bian mean if his family is complicated? I don't know I didn't understand until there was another explanation when Bian came home from Jakarta.
This puzzle piece has not yet been completed. I have to wait back this time..
