My Papa Secretary
Misunderstand
"Who is Les for ?" ask Anis to Lesta.
"Make his wife my boss, Nis" said Lesta.
"Oh, what do you love for his wife, Mr Boss ?" ask Anis.
"I was confused as to what I wanted to love. Because of his wife's birthday Boss, who already has everything and always wears expensive items. But, I think that if I do not give a gift it will be more unpleasant" said Lesta who is still not finished wrapping the gift.
"It was going to buy a party shirt or not a bag for making gifts. But consciously, usually Bu Marta uses branded goods that are very expensive, mendingan buy a nightgown just deh" said Lesta.
"When is the show ?" ask Anis.
"This afternoon, Nis. Hmm... You weren't invited to go with Aldo there ? It's a family event. Aldo's family must have been invited, too. They are cousins" said Lesta.
Anis shook her head.
"Aldo said today he was overtime, Les" Anis said.
"The show's late afternoon, Nis. Overtime from morning to noon. Especially this Saturday. Rarely do office people spend all day in the office" said Lesta.
"But Aldo said he was late until the afternoon, Les. When it comes to work I don't dare to bother him, Les. Maybe what he did was urgent. Duh, even though I miss going the same way with him" said Anis.
"Duh, yes, a girlfriend who understands the district" said Lesta.
Anis laughed hearing that.
Why make a report what the hell Aldo Saturday gini ? The feeling of this date at work in the office is quite relaxed. After all this is not the end of the month that usually many overtime employees because they pursue monthly reports.
Inner Lesta.
**********
The clock has shown at 16:00 pm. Lesta was already in an online taxi, to go to Pak Marta's house.
Rey said yesterday she wanted to pick him up for the show. But because Bu Marta's birthday party was held in a simple way and only invited large families, so it was only held at home. Lesta doesn't want Rey hosting to have to go to great lengths to pick her up and come back here just to pick her up. So he took the initiative to go by himself using an online taxi.
Once there the maid in the house immediately invited Lesta to the back garden. Because it was held in the afternoon, Bu Marta chose the location of the yard behind her house as the appearance of her birthday party.
Yes, the name of the sultan is different how to celebrate his birthday. The party that Mr. Marta said was held simply, still looks luxurious in the eyes of commoners like Lesta.
Lots of fresh flowers that adorn every corner of the garden. Not to mention the table that contains various types of food.
Although only attended by big families but the event is enough to make Bu Marta and invited guests look happy and happy. They seem to be talking to each other.
Upon arriving at the park, Lesta immediately greeted Ms. Marta and gave her a gift.
"Lesta, no need to bother using all gifts. It's just a small thanks" said Ms. Marta.
"It's okay, ma'am. Sorry if later the prize is less pleasing" said Lesta.
"All gifts are sustenance. I'm certainly grateful" said Ms. Marta.
Tuh. Marta is very nice. Rarely is there a big Madam who is good manners like Bu Marta.
Inner Lesta.
"Lesta, I'm staying. Greeting other guests. You please eat first the dishes that have been provided" said Bu Marta.
"Yes, Mom. Thank you" said Lesta.
Miss Marta then moved from there and approached the newly arrived invited guests.
Lesta looked around but did not find Rey. He only saw Mr. Marta and Tedy who were chatting with other invited guests from a distance.

And suddenly his eyes caught the figure of a man he was very familiar with, was chatting together with a woman. He is the girlfriend and best friend of his best friend, Aldo.
Anis said Aldo was late until the afternoon at the office. But I'm here to join the party. Why don't you bring Anis here. Wait a minute, who's that girl next to him ? From the clothes and jewelry he used like a conglomerate boy. But it's a family event, who knows it's just his family. But if the family, why do the girls look so aggressive. Several times I was seen holding Aldo's hand and shoulder.
Inner Lesta.
Because of his curiosity and solidarity with Anis he intends to approach Aldo to ask the truth. But his steps stopped when he heard the voice of a man greeting him.
"Why don't you call me when it comes" said Rey who patted her shoulder from behind.
Lesta reflexes.
"Rey ? Where have you been. I was looking for you here. But I haven't seen you since" said Lesta.
Rey smiled.
"I haven't come down from there. I was still getting calls from business colleagues in my room. He wants to propose a project cooperation for the toll road" Rey said.
"Oh, I see. I can't see from earlier. Rey I want it" said Lesta.
"Ask what ?" said Rey.
"That was with Al.." not yet finished his words, Marta cut off Lesta's words.
"Lesta, when's it coming ?" ask Mr. Marta.
Lesta and Rey reflexively turned to look at Marta and Tedy who had just arrived.
"Not long ago sir" said Lesta answered the questions of Mr. Marta.
"Rey you were present too ?" said Pak Marta who seemed to not believe the presence of her son at the event. Tedy also looked in wonder at Rey.
Rey just kept quiet and did not answer.
No, he didn't answer.
Inner Lesta.
"Rey, mama didn't dream, did you come to this show ? This is my first time for Mom. Mama will consider this as the most beautiful gift on your birthday" said Ms. Marta who just joined and hugged Rey.
Waduh, Miss Marta immediately played hugging so excited. I'm afraid that the hugged one will poke a crazy cow because it doesn't like it.
Inner Lesta.
But it turns out that Rey just kept quiet and didn't budge. She seemed to receive a warm hug from Miss Marta.
"Because it's the first time you've come to my mom's birthday. How about we take a family photo to remember this moment" said Ms. Marta.
"I don't like being photographed" Rey said.
They looked at Rey. Things suddenly become awkward.
Waduh, Market thugs are still market thugs. Maybe if it does not make a riot just a day, his body can itch.
Inner Lesta.
"Hm.. Mr. Rey, usually nervous if taking pictures in front of a lot of people like this. Maybe he wants to take pictures if in a quiet place" said Lesta.
Rey glares at Lesta.
"Well then we take a picture inside !" said Ms. Marta.
Ms. Marta took the photographer into the house. The four of them took pictures in the living room, with the position of Pak Marta and Bu Marta sitting on chairs. Rey and Teddy stand behind them.
The photographer took the picture twice. When he wanted to take the third picture, Rey stopped him.
"Enough. I think the pictures taken are enough" Rey said.
"I went back to the park first" Rey said.
Rey then prepares to set foot into the back garden.
"Rey.." said Ms. Marta.
Rey stopped her footsteps for a moment, as Bu Marta called her name. She's looking.
"Rey, thank you for today" said Ms. Marta with a sincere smile.
Rey looked at Bu Marta for quite a while and in the end she nodded her head.
**********
Rey again approached Lesta who was standing near a table containing dessert, while being seen sneaking around. His eyes looked like they were watching from far away.
"Who are you looking at, Dance" said Rey who was standing behind Lesta.
"Rey ? Have you taken a picture ?" ask Lesta.
"It has. Are you satisfied to encourage me to take the picture ?" said Rey.
Lesta laughs.
"You haven't answered my question, what did you see ? It seems very focused" said Rey.
"Let's see who that guy is" Lesta told Rey.
Rey glanced in the direction Lesta pointed.
"Aldo ? Why ? He's my cousin. No wonder he's here" Rey said.
"Then, who is the woman next to him ? Is that your cousin too ?" ask Lesta curiously.
Rey glanced back at the woman next to Aldo.
"I don't know him. It doesn't seem like he's part of my extended family" Rey said.
"But why that woman ? Why didn't Aldo take Anis ?" ask Rey to Lesta.
Lesta shrugged both of her shoulders in response to the ignorant reply.
Rey's phone rings. Rey stared at the name on her phone screen.
"Les, I picked up the phone outside first huh. This was the phone job problem" said Rey.
Lesta nodded.
Rey then stepped out to pick up her phone.
Because I was busy watching Aldo, I missed a good meal at this event. I'd better eat first. Kan, honey, you brought the gift.
Inner Lesta.
Lesta immediately picked up some food menu and took it to the back of the guest table so as not to be too the center of attention for people. He bribed a few scoops of ice cream and cake into his mouth. He seems to enjoy it a lot. Until a voice greeted her, Lesta was forced to stop her bribe.
"Would you like to eat ice cream ?" ask Tedy.
Lesta reflexes.
"Eh, yes, Ted. Cold and seger in the mouth" said Lesta.
"Aren't you eating ?" tanya Lesta who saw Tedy did not bring a plate containing food.
"Then" said Tedy who was sitting in the chair right next to Lesta.
"I'm happy, you're acting normal to me. I thought, after I expressed my feelings for you, we would be awkward" said Tedy.
Lesta laughs.
"Had it, I'd forgotten it" said Lesta, who smiled and started bribing ice cream again.
"Forget ? What does it mean to forget Lesta ? How can you tell me to forget everything? I was waiting for an answer from you" said Tedy.
Deg !
How is this, he was serious about his statement yesterday ?
Inner Lesta.
"Ted, I can't accept your declaration of love" said Lesta to the point.
The look on Tedy's face turned serious.
"Why ? Is it because you already have a lover now ?" said Tedy.
Lesta.
"I don't have a boyfriend yet. But, now there is someone who makes me want to get to know him more closely. I was curious about him and wanted to find out everything about him. Until I'm ready to open my heart to her" said Lesta.
"What's that guy Rey ?" ask Tedy.
Lesta jerks.
"So, it turned out to be true Rey yes" said Tedy.
"Sometimes I want to be as selfish as Rey for moments like this. Alright.. From now on, I'll be selfish. I'll wait for you until you're tired of facing Rey and looking for a place to lean" Tedy said.
Lesta was shocked to hear Tedy's words. He looked into the eyes of the man in front of him.
"Don't wait for me. I can't promise anything for you either. I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to give false hope" said Lesta.
"I hope we are still friends and behave as usual when we meet" said Lesta.
Teddy did not answer.
Tedy took Lesta's right hand. He grips.
"Rey, people who are hard to control. Too heavy for you to stand next to him. You're going to be overwhelmed, Les" said Tedy.
"He's not that kind of person. I know Rey very well. There seemed to be a reason behind his rude attitude all along. Sometimes he looks like steel. But sometimes, he looks fragile like weathered wood" said Lesta who seemed to give checkmate to Tedy.
So Tedy released his hand on Lesta right then and there. Now his heart is hurt.
While Rey, who had seen from a distance, misunderstood the meaning of Tedy's hand on Lesta. There was a feeling of disappointment that he felt.
