WHEN I FELL IN LOVE

Chapter 38

Lela arrived at my house at about seven o'clock in the evening (up ojek online). Actually I had volunteered to pick him up, but he refused my offer, he said afraid of repotting. Yes, the Lela I know is like that, an independent woman.

I hosted Lela in the living room of my house, according to Jayadi's advice. “Mba Lela right, come to discuss about business, Bang? So, let the atmosphere be more formal, it is better we visit it in the living room,” said Jayadi.

In the living room, I sat next to Lela. Jayadi, sitting on the floor, right in front of the entrance, "will be sitting here. Adem," said he.

Sitting next to Lela, made my chest rumble. The same feeling, when I drove her to her work clothes shopping. This situation made me awkward; awkward made me become even more silent than usual.

Since then, my eyes have pretended to pay attention to the television in the family room that is showing unique facts in the world. I let out a breath. Between wanting to ease the rumble in my chest, as well as inhaling the scent of Lela's perfume. The smell is fragrant, I don't know what the brand is. I glanced at. He was replying to a WhatsApp message from his father. Then I ventured to open the conversation.

“It feels like tonight it won't rain,” I said. ***! what kind of a banquet is that?

Lela looked at me, smiling. My feelings are calmer.

“Yes. Because the night sky is quite bright.”

“Oh, it's only fitting that since I didn't hear the sound of lightning,” reply me. Yes ... God, what am I talking about?!

Lela laughed after hearing my words. She looks so sweet.

“Oh ... don't really," I replied, shaking my head.

“Bang Bento was expecting a heavy rain tonight. If you can't stop until tomorrow morning. Let Mba Lela not return home,” sambar Jayadi.

Jayadi's words made me look straight at him, glare, grin, and the word curse has reached the tip of my tongue. But Lela instead laughed amusedly after hearing Jayadi's words. Oh, yes .. of course. He must have thought Jayadi was joking. As Jayadi used to do in the briefing room.

“Indeed, Bang?” lela asked while looking at me.

I smiled at him and I was sure, my face must have turned red.

“Lela believes Jayadi's words?” my question, while pointing at Jayadi (with index finger). “So I'm just talking. Yes ... to open the conversation.”

Lela smiled at me, while Jayadi was trying to hold back her laughter. Satisfied you Jay! Satisfied?!

After that, we talked more about business. Jayadi and I took turns explaining to Lela about the pastry business we were starting. Lela seemed very enthusiastic to listen to us talk, even after Jayadi and I explained, Lela expressed again her interest in joining the business we were starting. He also said that he would invest ten million rupiahs, to grow the business. Of course Jayadi and I are happy to hear that. Get one new partner and want to invest the money of ten million rupiah, in the business that is in the stub. It burned my spirit and Jayadi's.

I'm becoming more and more optimistic about the business we're in. With the entry of Lela, things like trading our products on the internet, so think about it. Then Lela also gave input on adding products that we can sell, such as banana chips, or balado cassava chips. All that my mother could do, with a steady taste. The thought of the pastry business that only sells in certain seasons, is the reason why Lela expressed the idea. Then what can Jayadi and I do? It was a brilliant idea, of course we totally agree.
