Amelia glanced at Jo with the tip of her eyes while slicing the ribs of the cow that were still on her plate with ogah-ogahan. Jo enjoys his own food. Amelia accidentally sits next to Jo, and luckily succeeds. So far Jo's attention has remained on Amelia.
At the other end of the table, Cristin was chatting with Nina. They do fit in, inner Amelia. Cristin is a loving type, just like Nina. That makes them both more annoying. While Amelia was impressed by indifference and stupidity.
“Wow, scholarship!” Amelia heard her brother's call. “Great, Nina!” it was Cristin who made Amelia flinch in shock.
Amelia held back her groans. He hoped his parents would not pay attention to the topic. Amelia didn't want Nina to be the center of attention for dinner this time. Not when Jo's here.
“Not so dear, you are interested in designing clothes?” continued Cristin. “I want to see the results of your design,” murmured Cristin.
Nina does design graceful dresses, that's right. Because he loves to draw. But Amelia will add Calvin Clein's label on top of Rudianto's one day.
“Bby!” nina replied happily. “Come if I have time, I will make a special dress for you," she said while putting pepper on the slices of meat.
Amelia fidgeted in her chair and glanced at Jo who was biting the meat. He was annoyed that Nina was showing off like that. After all Jo is not interested in the problem of stitching and knitting. Maybe Jo's got a private tailor at her house.
“I hope my boss at Fashion Charm gave me permission to design a new uniform for his employees" Nina continued. “We have to wear that silly orange suit. Maybe because he's been seeing cheese all day." Tukas Nina with a somewhat irritated tone.
It's like lifting up the fact that Nina lives by selling clothes. In the lyrics Jo then she shifts closer.
“ Sorry," he whispered in Jo's ear. “We should talk about you, not about chips and cheese," Nina apologized for feeling bad for ignoring Mr. Kusuma's guests.
“No need to apologize," Jo said with a small laugh. “Cristin often tells me about you and I love being her loyal listener" Jo explained.
Very wise! But it was Jo who was polite and polite to the end.
“It looks like you are indeed lucky, Nin," Cristin joked.
“Lucky? Wait a minute!” Amelia immediately choked. “ Not wrong, the wages alone are small,” Amelia said inwardly.
“Ah, not really," replied Nina shyly.
“However, I desperately saved up for my own college expenses. While your father is a donor. Every time I save a dollar, for sure he will add another dollar.” Nina explained.
Amelia's father laughed and raised his glass toast. “Let's drink for Nina's tuition! Work hard until you can finance your own college. For Amelia too. I'd bet you he didn't have any savings." He smiled at his son.
“He prefers to spend money, for non-essential purposes. And his dad just waits for his credit card bill every month,"
added Mr. Kusuma again.
Amelia's back was stiff and her cheeks were red. For enduring the shame of his father's honest words. Why did his father humiliate him in front of Jo? Amelia was not much different from Nina ... more extravagant, perhaps. Thankfully, Jo did not comment much.
In the lyrics Jo from the side. He's so handsome and so cool! As sexy as Jimi, but Jo is rich. If only there was a way to meet again with Jimi. Amelia is planning to show Jo off to Jimi.
Jimi is Amelia's lover, but not as rich and charming as Jo.
But after dinner, Jo will enter his car to get home and disappear from Amelia's life forever. Except ... unless Amelia goes to see her sister on campus with Jo. Besides Purwokerto not so far .. what else since there was Jo.
