Ella Noer Amyzee: I'm Not an Object
The Sasip Teahouse

"I waited a long time out there for you. I became hungry while waiting for your work time to end" Reo said.

Ella, "..." Ella did not know how to answer, so she just fell silent while nodding rigidly at Reo's words.

I looked at Ella silently then she suddenly moved her chair and leaned on Ella. Ella was shocked by Reo's sudden movements!

"Ella, I can call you Ella, right? You're always nervous around me, do you hate me?" reo asked in a soft and gentle voice.

Ella looked at Reo in surprise. And Ella's gaze met Reo's shining eyes. Ella's heart skipped a beat and she stiffly shook her head. "Ti– ti– no."

Reo said in a sincere tone. "I'm actually very happy to meet former classmates in a completely foreign place. I never forgot you even though after so many years, I was young and stupid at that time which my behavior had given you a hard time in Junior High."

"I always thought that I would find an opportunity to apologize to you one day, but I didn't expect to see you again that time, ever since I met you two days ago, will you accept my apology? I'm really sincerely apologizing."

Ella did not have time to answer, but the waiter came with a snack and tea that had been ordered by Reo.

After the maid left, Ella finally spoke. "That's all happened in the past, it's okay …."

Reo's eyes and tone of voice while apologizing just now sounded very sincere. Ella was embarrassed when she heard it. So Ella forgave him.

A long time ago, he really hated Reo, if it wasn't for him, Ella wouldn't have quit school, Ella should have gotten into a good school, a good university, a good university, and have a fully good life. But after all these years, Ella has a deeper understanding of things and she begins to believe in destiny.

To Ella, Reo had truly become a distant, fuzzy figure. Just as he didn't hate the children who stole candy when he was a child, just as he couldn't hate Reo anymore, he had long since forgotten things related to this person.

With sincere eyes, Ella showed a bright smile. Ella felt the wounds in her heart begin to melt ever since she heard Reo's sincere apology. There was a sense of relief that came after hearing Reo's request and forgiving him. Ella for the first time boldly stared at the reog she said clearly without a doubt. "It's okay, it's all happened in the past, let the past pass …."

Reo looked into Ella's eyes, usually Ella's eyes looking dark, but this time it looked bright. Ella felt uncomfortable because she was seen by Reo, Ella turned her face because she felt awkward.

Reo eats the snack. He's really very hungry. She was completely on an empty stomach while waiting for Ella to come home from work, while Ella, who was still full, ate only a few snacks.

During the meal, Reo asks Ella how Ella once left school. "Where did you go at the time? Are you still in Angspoer City when you don't come to school anymore?"

Ella explained to Reo, "After I left school, I worked part-time. Then one day I heard that there are many jobs in Tang City. So I decided to come here to Tang City."

Reo was silent for a moment before he opened his voice. "After the incident, my family sent me abroad. When I came back from overseas, I was looking for you but couldn't find you."

Ella didn't know what to say, so she just said, "Oh …."

Reo stopped eating and he looked into Ella's eyes. "I'm really happy to see you again."

For many years and for how many years, no one had expressed enthusiasm or words of affection towards Ella. Ella is used to being hated or ignored, and Reo who treats her with sincere words inexplicably makes Ella feel happy for the first time when she sees Reo.

Although Reo's words may be just words for politeness, Ella feels that Reo's sense of superiority and arrogance suddenly feels very much diminished, and Ella's mood seems to be improving slowly. Ella said to Reo, "Thank you."

"You don't have to thank me, it should be me who should thank you for helping me with the upcoming party."

Ella suddenly recalled the business dealings they were about to discuss, and asked about the party. "How do you do it? I ... actually .. no. .. have experience."

"It doesn't matter, you don't have to worry too much about it. Specifics and details will be left to others. You just need to be responsible for preparing the menu, purchasing the ingredients, then making definite preparations just in case, that's enough."

Reo goes back to saying, "If you make a meal on the day of the party, the food will actually not be much different from the food you usually make at the restaurant. So you don't have to worry about anything."

Ella was relieved after hearing what Reo said. Ella has never been an invited chef. Previously several times in the past while he was still working in hotels, he had accepted a job as a chef group and he could use that as part of the experience, but he was still afraid of messing it up. If something really goes wrong, it may be the end of his day at the hotel which will be a much more difficult day in the future. In the end Ella had a really hard time at the hotel and Ella came out of the hotel she had previously worked for rejecting the love of the newly appointed head chef at that time.

Reo also roughly explained to Ella how many people he invited to the party. Explain the taste of BB food that is generally liked by guests, also say about special foods that must be included. Ella listened very carefully to all the details Reo said.

"Ella, how about I bring you together with the party event organizer in the next 3 days? We can discuss more specific things with each other with them later."

"Sure" replied Ella.

During her time at the teahouse, Ella's nervousness lessened and lessened in front of Reo. And Ella's initially nervous manner of speaking also became more fluid and fluent.

"You don't seem nervous anymore, Ella. I'm glad you're talking more fluently and fluently."

Ella was shocked for a few seconds, her tongue that had been smoothly speaking seemed to be tied back by a knot that made her speechless.
