WHEN I FELL IN LOVE
Chapter 34
Today, Jayadi and I began to compile the names of the people we were going to offer and woo, in order to buy cookies made by my mother. The names of the people on this list are, names that Jayadi and I already know. Then, Jayadi and I also donated two million rupiah, to increase the business capital that we are developing. We thought it was enough to buy a new mixer and oven for my mom to make the cake easier. Understandably, the cake-making tools that my mother has, on average, are old age. Even the mixer he had, had been brought back and forth to the service because it often constrained.
Then, because we are a former sales of cake ingredients, so we know which bakery store provides the cheapest prices in the city of Bandar Lampung. So, we also look around and remember, which store provides the cheapest price. This is all we do to minimize the business capital that must be spent.
Coincidentally, Boris came to my house today. He said he missed work because he missed me and Jayadi. “Why not resign also aja bang?” jayadi asked Boris. A question that was only responded to with a flat face by Boris.
Boris said, things in the office were a little different without me and Jayadi, so it was quieter, and Erwin became more strict with the rules. I think Erwin did that, because the commotion a few days ago must have slightly tarnished his duty as a superior. Moreover, there are two new salesmen who replace my position and Jayadi. So, surely he wants the two new salesmen to immediately put the highest respect to him.
Actually I also miss Boris— when it was only three days I did not meet him. So, when he came, I immediately took him to my room, the most convenient place for me to entertain my guests.
I asked Jessica to Boris, he said, “the news is good. It's just that, just like me, she misses you too. Especially with Jayadi,“ said Boris while staring at Jayadi.
“Lah! Napa the Korean girl uses kangen with me all?!” reply Jayadi a little nyolot. Though I know, she also actually misses the war of words with Jessica.
“Jay? You're with Jessica, you're always joking around before the briefing, and that's what you do every weekday. You just imagine, suddenly the person you used to joke around with is no more? Definitely lost,” said Boris. “Absolutely you don't miss the war of words with Jessica?”
I saw Jayadi throw his gaze at the door after hearing Boris's question (Have been honest you missed Jay too). Then, after a few seconds, he looked back at Boris, “ya .. kangen, Bang,” he replied, timidly. “Don't be with Jessica. Same Mba Lela who rarely communicates alone, I also miss. But what the hell else? It's happening. Anyway if we want to meet, just make an appointment. Watch cake? Eating malems with cakes? Or any plan that can make us meet,“ replied Jayadi.
Boris immediately looked at me while furrowing his brows after hearing Jayadi's reply. Of course he was astonished. Because he rarely, or maybe even never saw Jayadi as seriously as that in response to the conversation. If I knew all about Jayadi. How when he is offended, how when he is happy, angry, hate people, pretend, and others. So I'm used to it.
“If you miss? Why don't you just go back to the company? I'm sure Mr. Zul will gladly accept you'll come back, Jay,”.
“Did, unclean!” jayadi replied with a look of disgust. “I have not wanted me to be a subordinate of Erwin!”
“Mba Lela herself how is Bang?” ask Jayadi. Questions that represent me, I know, thank you.
“Lela is a little confused when there is no Bento. Well, you know Jay. Lela, if there's anything to ask Bento. And you know, Erwin cares about his men, including Lela. Though they are close,” replied Boris. The little answer made me worry about Lela's state.
“They are dating yes, Bang?” ask Jayadi again. Questions that slightly offended me, but still represent me, thanks again Jay.
“Ah! Where to go Lela with Erwin!” reply Boris, firmly. I was horrified when I heard Boris's reply. Honestly, I was happy to hear it, it was like waking me up from my nightmare.
“Ah, sok tau bang Boris. Do you know where Lela doesn't want Erwin?” ask Jayadi again.
“Ya knows Jay. Erwin was able to invite him to watch a movie together, Lela refused. He also had time to invite Lela to dinner together, Lela also refused. It all happened in front of my own eyes, Jay,” Boris replied. “Now I'm asking you. Women if you really like men, would want dong taken for a walk? Especially if you watch movies and have dinner. Well, that's Lela rejecting it.”
“Iya also bang,” reply Jayadi while nodding his head. He also looked at me with a smile. It was as if his heart was saying: the war is not over, Bang!
After that, we talked more about our business plan. Jayadi dominated the conversation. He explained all our plans, even his strange dreams. One of the most ridiculous, “later if our business is successful, I want to buy five apartments in the elite area of the Capital City. Want me to use for poultry livestock,” he said. Of course it made me and Boris laugh out loud.
Boris was in my house until nightfall. Yeah, looks like he really misses both of us. A little funny to me. Because the truth is, if he wants to meet me and Jayadi, he'll just come to my house.
But there's one important piece of information I got from Boris; Lela hasn't dated Erwin yet. Even more ominous, Lela seemed to have no interest in Erwin. It's all like a hope to me. I felt suddenly a rainbow curling over my head, butterflies flying around my body, and the chirping of birds so melodious it sounded in my ears. Yes, the war is not over, there is still hope for me.
