Be My Bu ~ Be My Beloved
DPR Chapter 4

Dew sat at the desk in his room, his eyes staring at the laptop screen but his mind was clearly not on the job. He thought about his meeting with Rain this afternoon, feeling that Rain was very different from the previous Rain.

Dew sighs, “Come Ma'am, what do you expect? Six years have passed even every second the attitude and human nature can change.”

Cheek up, Dew tried to refocus on what he was doing: checking the hotel's annual report. In the city where Dewun lives now his papa has two hotels. Sky Hotel which was established decades ago, until now is still managed by his papi, and the plan of the hotel will be given to his younger brother-Sky. While the hotel he now occupies is a hotel that his papi just bought about five years ago because it almost went bankrupt. The hotel was rebranded and named ‘B Hotel’ and Dewun now works as general manager at the hotel.

Dew dropped his shoulders, not because of the dizziness of observing the rows of numbers on the laptop screen, but because Rain's face just kept passing in his mind. Eventually, the dew chose to leave the room. With bunny slippers and a purse in hand, she intends to go to the minimarket opposite the hotel to buy food.

The clock shows at seven o'clock when Dew arrives in the lobby, she looks so relaxed in sleeping pajamas and a long black knee-length cardigan. The girl unceasingly carved a smile as she passed through the lobby due to the warm greeting from her staff.

Seeing the number of cars that entered simultaneously into the hotel, the Dew that almost came out on a whim walked back and back in. He stopped in front of the reception desk then asked,” Is there a party tonight?”

“Iya Ma'am. Ah .. Ma'am, that's …. “ Receptionist who asked looks wrong because confused to call it by what designation.

“Call me Bubu, okay.” The dew rolled her eyes, she put her purse under her armpit so she could fix her hair. However, until at the door he idly turned around again and made his staff shocked.

“You want coffee? What is a good brand of bottled coffee in Indonesia?” ask with a big smile. Clearly Dewun's offer received rejection from his staff, they felt sad with his kindness.

Dew walked casually outside the hotel followed by a security guard who ran. The security guard intends to help stop the vehicle so that he can safely cross. However, it is unexpected that Dewun even asked the security guard to come with him to the minimarket.

“Mr take the basket! please grab a coffee, a snack, or whatever your friends like. I know there's a party tonight so you guys should definitely work harder,” said Dew.

“No need Bu, troublesome.”

“Ah .. come on sir, or just think of it as a souvenir replacement because I came to the hotel not bringing anything,” refer Dew.

The guard who initially hesitated finally complied with Dewun's request, leaving the girl who was suddenly fixated on seeing a row of milk boxes neatly arranged on the shelf. Dews remember sharing that kind of milk with Rain first, they did not even hesitate to wear the same straw.

“Bu Dew, I have.” The words of the security guard who came with him earlier made Dew realize, he looked at the guard's basket that was filled with drinks and food.

💦💦💦

A few minutes later, Dew returned to the hotel. All the staff who were there in turn thanked me. Feeling what he was giving off was nothing, Dew shook his right palm, gesturing for them not to be too pompous.

“Thank you, keep working hard and always compact yes!” her word.

The laughing stock headed for the elevator and then pressed a button to go upstairs. While waiting for the elevator door to open, he took a sip of the canned coffee he had just bought. Her face was radiant finding it tasted good. He even read the brand of coffee to be remembered.

Dew was still staring at the coffee can when the elevator door opened. He was shocked to see a girl inside. The girl also stared at him with a similarly-shocked expression.

“Bening.”

“Embun.”

The girl came out of the elevator while the Dew chose to go straight inside, Dew was only silent to see the girl's back away until a moment later right along with the closed elevator door, the girl who turned out to be right was the Bening turned his head.

“Dew ‘kan?”

💦💦💦

Dew attaches a card that is the key to his room with flat water, he is sure that the girl who passed him earlier was Bening. Hate instantly enveloped his heart, as if there was no longer any affection left for his twin brother.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Dew remembers every painful utterance. The speech that made him feel as a disgrace that should not be known by many. Even he left his first love behind because of that. He felt unworthy of being in touch with Rain. Low self-esteem kills his confidence, so it takes a long time for Dew to get back up.

"It seems they all live well."
