Now! I FOUND YOU
the coast

?ik?dg

Two days later.....

"Hi Aunty May....!!" Friddie smiled, as Masa opened the door for him.

"Hi Fridd's.." The Back of Maysa.

"Hi Aunty....!!!" The other one just got out of the car. There's Sanne, Louis, and Vineet.They walk over to Friddie and Maysa. They greeted Maysa politely.

"You guys, come on in, Geffie's been waiting since. He'll be down in a minute."

"Ah no need Aunty, we just wait here, immediately set out in fear of misfortune." Friddie.

"Okay then." Maysa looked back and Geffie came down the stairs. "That's it..."

"Hi guys...!!!" Sapa Geffie's. "We're leaving now????" Geffie and her best friend nodded their heads. Geffie hugs Maysa and greets her and says goodbye, as well as her best friend. Then they get in the car. Friddie's driving the car.

"We're going to pick up Garviil???" Ask Friddie to Geffie.

"Yes, he's waiting."

"We're going to his house???" Ask Louis.

"No Lou, he's got his own car." Geffie named the street where Garviil was waiting for them. "He will only be a day a night, tomorrow he has to go back to Jakarta, because the night he has to leave again to America. He doesn't want to trouble you so he'll bring his own car."

"Owh so he's going home first??"

"Yes." Yeah."

"alright... We'll meet there." Friddie Mumbled. "I can finally meet my future brother-in-law as well."

"Sister, you shut up...!!! And don't tease me." Geffie Protest.

"So this Garviil has a cafe near your apartment???" Ask Louis.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Geffie briefly.

"He's also the head of the company there." Friddie Sahut.

"Wow great dong...!!!" Sela Louis again.

"That means Geffie's not tinned.." Sela Vineet's. Make all his friends laugh.

"Unfortunately Geffie hasn't dared to tell uncle Iel. Hehe." Friddie again.

"Don't you dare yet, but it's not time yet, I will definitely introduce you to Papa Iel."

"Ok yes, yesterday you told me that you met Garviil's ex. What's going on???" Ask Friddie. Yesterday Geffie told me about it but not details and he was curious so asked Geffie to tell him now.

"Nothing happened, he came to Garviil's house to say his condolences because Garviil's grandmother died, and I happened to come with Garviil too. So I just caught a glimpse of him, he was in the car and I just came in and was let in by Mama Garviil."

"Is that all???" Ask Friddie again.

"Yes, my brother, that was the first time I met him."

"Just look if he does anything to you, I'll teach him a lesson."

"Why, then, darling??? Did Geffie take Garviil from him???" Ask Vineet.

"Ah no... How could I possibly snatch someone else's lover???" Sela Geffie quickly. "I don't have a problem with him at all. It's just that his relationship with Garviil didn't go well, that's all."

"After all Geffie is too pretty to snatch someone else's lover, she can get a single man without having to destroy someone else's relationship. " Cap Sanne.

Geffie smiled at Sanne's words. He never took Garviil from Bianca, although he and Garviil were close when Garviil became Bianca's lover. But Garviil has reason that he no longer loves Bianca. That's the fact. And Bianca also very clearly betrayed Garviil. Not one time but the second time besides that Bianca has also cheated Garviil and his family.

))kbl

"That's Garviil's car..." Geffie.

"That white one??" Ask Friddie.

"Yes sis.."

"Okay, will stop in front. You're going down???"

"Yes, I mean, he's driving alone."

"All right..." Friddie slowed down and he pulled the car over and Geffie came down to Garviil.

Garviil who was in the car rushed down and threw a smile at Geffie who walked over to him. Geffie. "Follow Friddie's car." Geffie said, Garviil nodded his head and then opened the car door for the power. Garviil then ran to the right side and entered. The car in front of him that was climbed by Geffie was walking, Garviil followed him from behind.

"Old huh???" Just Geffie.

"Ah not really, I just waited about ten minutes. Is anyone inside???"

"There's Brother Friddie and his girlfriend, there's also brother Louis with his girlfriend. We've all been friends since childhood."

"Wah rame too...??? You've been friends since you were kids??"

"Yes, we have been friends since childhood, because our parents were also friends. So that since childhood we met often and were friends, it's also what made some of us also fall in love and dating."

"You never fell in love with your best friend???" Ask Garviil.

"No, because I assume they are all my brothers and I and Vineet are the smallest so we get protection from all of them. It's nice to have so many sisters. Heehe."

"Well I mean I have to be careful and not hurt you, maybe your brothers will beat me up."

Geffie chuckles. "Then you don't try to play with me, let alone you'll get to know them later.???"

"I'll take good care of you so that I don't deal with them hehehe."

Geffie smile. "Why don't you ask Vicky to be more crowded.???"

"He's studying with Papa. I haven't told you that Vicky decided to help me out at the office. So he now has a hard task to learn with Papa."

"really???? Well good dong then, then what about his career??? Is he already a famous painter??? Is he going to leave that career and just focus on helping you??"

Garviil shook his head. "Of course not dear, I will still free Vicky to run his career, I will not press his work schedule so that like me, I will free him to do what he likes. For me when he said to help me I was happy enough, he could still paint and do exhibitions as usual."

Geffie smile. "You're very understanding but by the way, what made him finally decide to tell you that???"

"Oma, before she died, she had a chance to talk with both of us, she asked that Vicky could be better and obey said I and Mama Papa. Including being able to help me and Papa to take care of the family business and not just keep playing around, it was Oma's last request, shortly after she passed away. And then Vicky seemed to think about all that so he finally told me to do it. He's gonna help me out in Boston."

"Vicky must have thought about every word Oma said, indicating that she loved Oma very much. Very nice indeed. And Oma will be happy there to see Vicky change and see you two get more compact."

"I wish it were like." Garviil muttered, he grabbed Geffie's fingers and dipped them. "I'm happy, at least we can spend today until tomorrow afternoon for a vacation together. Because I have to wait a few more days until we can meet again."

"Is that how hard you left Indonesia??? Hehe."

"Not leaving Indonesia, but leaving you, that's obvious. We're used to meeting almost every day, right???"

"At least you have to learn from now, later we will also be far apart, you are in Boston and I am in Washington DC. Aye right???"

"That's right, that's why I really want to spend my time well with you."

Garviil turned his head and looked at Geffie with a deep gaze hinting full of love. The girl next to him is so amazing and makes him fall more and more in love every day.

"You're going back with Vicky tomorrow???" Ask Geffie.

"Yes, he's coming back with me, Vicky himself already misses Tiffany a lot."

"Tiffany's back home now, but she said she'd go back to Boston if Vicky was there. Tiffany's gonna find a job there."

"I told Vicky to tell Tiffany to send Cv to my office, yes if it meets the standard it will be accepted, anyway Tiffany also intends to continue her studies on the same campus again right??? I have no problem with the staff who continue their education while working, we give a special policy. You can too, while waiting for your departure to Washington Dc, still a few months away right??? You just make a cv with Tiffany." Garviil.

"Me???? But I'll only stay in Boston for a few months, while waiting for my brother to come back, which is true when I work in your office for only a few months."

"Why not???? Think of it as a warm-up. It doesn't matter if you work there. Ahhhh or you know, you're interning in my office for a few months until you leave for Washington, if you don't want to work. At least you can get used to it in the office. Take it easy, in my office there is an internship program and you can still get a special salary as an intern, if you want to work it is okay. It's up to you to which one. That activity can keep you from getting bored, rather than waiting in the apartment alone. Better fill your time well. How's it???? This is a special offer for my beloved."

"Then are you going to treat me so special???? No, baby, I can't be like that. That's very unprofessional."

"Not... I don't mean like that, I mean this is a special offer so you don't spend your time in the apartment alone, you can do something positive by joining my company. So that your time is filled with good things. You can choose a special internship program or you want to work fully, it's okay if it's only a few months."

Geffie fell silent and turned towards Garviil. "I'll think about it."

Garviil smile. "Tell me if you've made up your mind."

Meanwhile somewhere else.

Bianca took her car into Garviil's yard. He wanted to meet Garviol and talk to the man because he had not met yesterday, besides that Bianca also wanted to talk to Garviil's parents. Yesterday may not be the right time, and Bianca wants to try again.

Bianca got out of her car and walked towards Garviil's door. The courtyard of the house is also still filled with wreaths of condolence. Quite a lot because Papa Garviil has many business partners so he received so many condolences.

Bianca pressed the bell next to the door. Until the door opened from inside. It turns out that the one who opened up was Garviil's domestic assistant. "Eh Bianca's mom???" He said because previously he had known Bianca because Bianca was Garviil's fiancee and of course often came to this house. "Bianca's sister is cured, right???? Thank goodness..." He continued with a happy smile because he saw Bianca no longer wearing a wheelchair. He had heard of Bianca crash and was paralyzed.

"Garviil is??" Ask Bianca.

"Nothing, Garviil mas went for a vacation aih he said so."

Bianca frowned her. "Where's the holiday???"

"I don't know much, he said he went on vacation with his friends."

"Then is anyone home???" Ask Bianca again.

"There was Vicky and mom, but I said I was gonna take a shower, you just went for a business."

"Who's Ma'am??" Vicky came down the stairs and half-cried calling his housekeeper.

"It's Vicky mas, there's Bianca's mom."

Vicky frowned then approached her domestic assistant and she immediately saw Bianca standing at her doorstep. "Why are you here...???" Ask Vicky ketus.

Bianca smile. "Vicky, I've come to offer my condolences to you and your family."

"Didn't you do it and meet Mama??? Then why did you come back here and say the same thing???* Task Vicky still in a sniffy voice.

"That's because I couldn't get into your house before, and your mama has business too so I haven't gotten in."

"But you met Mama, right??? Then why did you come again????"

"I don't think it's complete if I haven't met all of you. So I came again. Can I come in and talk for a second???" Ask Bianca. Vicky just looked at her coldly and didn't care, because of what this woman came back to her house for.

())sg(((

"Nobody's home, you just go." Vicky said with a kettle.

"You kicked me out???"

"No one's home, if you want to meet Mama she's in the shower and Papa's out."

Bianca fell silent and just stared at Vicky. This man is still very much loved until this moment but Vicky never cared about his feelings at all. Vicky's been so outrageous to him. "Vicky, you're still mad at me about that problem???? I'm sorry for my mistakes and lies to you, especially to Garviil."

Vicky silently looked at Bianca. "It's good that you realize your mistake." Mumbled Vicky.

"You're not considering forgiving me and giving me a chance???" Ask Bianca.

"You must know that from the beginning I never liked you, why I finally came to you because I wanted Garviil to be happy, I've been bothering her too much all this time so I want to return the favor to her and save her from you, because I know she doesn't love you anymore. And I also know the truth that I love not him but me. That's why I took the risk to choose you. But the fact is you've been keeping such a big lie just for your selfishness. Because you want to tie garviil with you without realizing how big of a mistake you made on her first. It's all just done by someone who is cute and also petty like you Bianca. You're a girl but you don't have a heart at all."

"That's why I'm sorry for you, at least give me a chance. You know I love you so much."

Vicky shook his head. "I can't trust people like you anymore. What happened has gone too far for Bianca. You fooled us all."

"I did it because I didn't want to lose Garviil."

"You don't want to lose Garviil, but you say you love me, so what do you mean???? What kind of game you're planning. Which is more important you think, you want to tie Garviil up, but you love me??? It's so confusing."

"I don't want Garviil to leave me, I want to be with her but I don't love her, I just want to make you jealous because you always reject me and never see me, but I love you Vicky.. You don't understand that."

"Who's Geffie???" Ask Bianca Toba-sudden.

Vicky stared in alarm. She had heard stories from her mother about Bianca coming here before and what happened, where Bianca saw Garviil coming with Geffie here. "Why are you asking that???"

"I just want to know."

Vicky chuckles. "You didn't get invited and then you saw something that bothered your heart, hahahaha you're so funny."

"I asked because I wanted to know."

"Then if I don't want to tell you is that a problem for you???? " Task Vicky.

"I just want to know. There's a woman coming here with Garviil and Garviil yelling that the woman who came with her is Mama's future daughter-in-law, is that Geffie??? And that means they're related??? Since when did this relationship happen??? Why did Garviil forget me so quickly??? You must know everything, right, Vic???"

Vicky chuckles. "You're like a train, so fast and don't have any crumbs.... Whoever the woman under Garviil is none of your business. You and Garviil are over, and remember one more thing, that ending that relationship is not Garviil but you alone. So if Garvill already has a new lover, yes it's his business. He deserves to be happy and not to be played by a woman who doesn't know yourself like you."

"But it was you who made me finally cut ties with Garviil.???"

Vicky smiled mockingly. "The one who made the decision was yourself, who had your own choice, I came to you to propose to you not to end your relationship with Garviil. If you still want Garviil with you you can reject me, but because you are greedy, selfish and selfless and only lie to Garviil, you choose to leave him and clean to me. It's all obviously your fault so don't try to twist the facts. It's all your own fault. Stop playing the show. So sick of hearing it. You have no face but you have no shame at all. I'm surprised by you, what kind of man are you???" Vicky was starting to look upset. "Go and don't interrupt my break."

Vicky was about to close the door to his house but was arrested by Bianca. "Vicky wait, you haven't answered my question, who's Geffie??? And how's his relationship with Garviil.????"

"It's none of your business...!!!! And it's my right whether I answer your question or not." Vicky closed the door and ignored Bianca's screams. I think he's so fed up with Bianca's attitude. The woman had lost her mind and even to this day there was no remorse in Bianca's eyes. Yes, he did apologize, but Vicky bksa saw clearly that it was insincere from his heart. Bianca just came to get her and her quarters attention. Bianca is very selfish and does not want to admit her mistakes sincerely. Selfish and totally selfish. Makes Vicky very sick, even just by hearing his name, Vicky felt nauseous. I don't know what kind of man Bianca is.

Vicky locked her door and went back upstairs to relax. Meeting and dealing with Bianca made her mood break. Time off was disrupted. Suddenly he feels sorry why not cute Garviil just went on vacation with Geffie compared to having to face the endless madness of Bianca.

"Vicky.."

Vicky was shocked when suddenly his mother appeared in front of him. "Mama surprised me."

"Where are you from???" Ask Mama.

"That's the witch coming. Just disturb."

"Magic grandmother??? Who???"

"Bianca. He's coming again. He's not in his right mind."

"Bianca???? What's he coming for???"

"He's sorry for the drama yesterday, he also wants to meet all of us, but I said there's no one at home. And his ridiculous again, he asked about Geffie. Forcing me to explain who Geffie is. Who asked like that, he had nothing to do with Garviil and why did he talk about Geffie."

"He asked about Geffie???"

"Yes Ma, and forced me to explain. Who he is. It's good to force kj and force your way in. He's already giIa...."

)))fdc((((

"We're all gonna live in one cottage???" Ask Garviil.

"No, you boys will live next door." Geffie smile. "Papa prepared 2 cottages for us."

Garviil smile. "Is every vacation like this???? I mean you don't have to find a place to stay because your Papa has a lot of places. Is that true???"

"Yes that's... Even if we go somewhere and there is no inn or hotel owned by Papa, usually Papa will tell his secretary to find him. So I'll just take it easy."

"Enak... Hahaha but why did you choose to go to business school and not just go to hotel management. While your Papa's business is related to that???"

"That's true, I discussed it with Papa and Gienka's sister. Papa's answer is that while I can master the science of business as a whole it will be much better, because I will be able to face various challenges later, besides that the late Opa actually had another business, he said, karenabennis Property and Real estate are businesses owned by the late Oma which is also inherited from Papa, both of which must be well managed. So that both I, Brother Gienka and Brother Friddie should be able to master everything about our family business." Geffie. "A lot of people say that the three of us are very lucky to have all that from Oma and Opa and our parents and just keep going, but they forget that the three of us also have to try and persevere and study seriously so that what our parents give later we can manage well, and keep standing as before even if it could have to be better than before."

Garviil smile. "How to think you're the same as me.... I'm trying to prove to my parents that I will and should be able to help them handle their existing business."

"Maintaining is much harder." Geffie Mumbles.

"That's right.."

In the middle of the chat, Garviil's phone rang. Because it was connected in his car, Garviil also answered him. "I'm on the street, why did you call me???" Ask Garviil.

"You still on the road???"

"Yes, but it'll be here soon, why???"

"Bianca, she just came in here, and did you know that witch forced her in and spoke slurpingly."

"Communion????" Ask Garviil.

"Yes, he came and wanted to come in but I didn't let him, he just apologized okay I said forgive him. But suddenly he asked about Geffie. Ridiculous right???"

Garviil turned towards Geffie Yanv next to him. Geffie of course listened to his conversation with Vicky considering his phone was already connected to bluetooth in his car. "Ask about Geffie??? About what???"

"He asked Geffie who you were."

"Then you answered What???"

"I didn't say or explain in detail, I just asked her to leave. My mood was completely broken because of his arrival. He really has lost his memory. So annoying. Makes me so sick of him."

"It's good that you didn't say anything to her."

"I also had a long argument with him. He asked for a chance to get me back with him, he thought I was just as unrooted as he was??? Hahaha It's me to IoI who wants to go back with him. Suddenly I felt sorry, why don't I come with you, if I come with I definitely don't have to face the witch."

"Then follow suit." Chirps Geffie. "I'll send the location, you catch up with us Vic."

"Ah no Geff, I'll bother you there."

"Disturbing what, people are crowded, there are other friends."

"Yes, if you don't have any activities, then Geffie's right." Garviil.

"At least your mood can improve." Geffie. "Come Vic, I'll send you the location now, okay????"

Vicky was silent for a while. "Well, ok I'll get ready."

Geffie and Garviil again threw a glance and smiled. "Well, you're ready, I'll send you the location and we'll wait for you."

"Yes, I'll talk to Mama. Then I close the call first." Vicky closed the call. Meanwhile Garviil and Geffie smile because they are happy Vicky will catch up with them so it will be more crowded.

"It's getting more and more people." Geffie Mumbles.

"But Vicky's gonna be a mosquito repellent, we all come in pairs and he's alone." Garviil.

Geffie chuckles. "We'll both be with her, lest we both leave her. Hehe."

"Why did he trouble us, I wanted to be alone with you and now you're asking us to be with him."

"Be quiet and don't protest. Vicky also needs to meet a new friend here."

Garviil grabbed Geffie's fingers and dipped them. "For that I'm sorry Monta."

Geffie. "Sorry??? What's for???"

"Because Vicky's talking about Bianca."

"Why are you???? I'm not really bothered, I understand that Vicky really wants to tell you so yeah no problem. I don't feel disturbed. How many times do I have to say that I don't like to bring up my girlfriend's relationship with her ex, that's how they're going to be what I have to deal with. Never mind..."

Geffie rests his head on Garviil's shoulder. This man became a good friend and lover for her. And he really doesn't have any problems with Bianca. After all, Garviil will also not be possible to return with Bianca considering the wounds left so deep that Garviil's trust and feelings have been completely destroyed. Bianca is beautiful but Geffie knows that Garviil will never be interested in Bianca and Vicky. So Bianca wasn't the one to whom Geffie was afraid to face.

Garviil continued to drive following Geffie's brother's car in front of him. They have passed the streets with a beach view indicating they will soon arrive.

Eventually the car entered the cottage. Friddie's car stopped in front of a building before entering the cottage area. Where the building was functioned as a reception venue. Friddie got down and asked for the key to the cottage he had ordered. After that Friddie returned to the car and drove his way to the cottage number that had been ordered earlier by his Om, Papa Geffie.

Then Friddi's car stopped right in front of the cottage, and everything got off the car. Garviil stopped his car and went down with Geffie. They approached Friddie and the others.

"Sister, this is Garviil. " Geffie said Garviil to his brother and his best friend. Garviil smiled, greeted them in turn and introduced himself politely.

Garviil shines Friddie. "Garviil. It's nice to meet you. Geffie used to talk about you, eh what call should I say to call me??? Brother or what???" Ask Garviil.

"Call names only, I think you're older than me, if you call me brother it's not nice either, just Friddie " said Friddie and returned Garviil's hand. "It's good to see you too, my sister talks about you often. And he also said that you've met Gienka's sister."

"Yes, Geffie took me to his house a few months ago. And yesterday the day after tomorrow also meet again."

"Oh yes Brother Friddie, there will be his brother Garviil who will follow here, he is at home so want to join, is it okay???" Tana Geffie's.

"Garviil's sister??? Her twin sister???" Ask Friddie to make sure.

"Yes...!!"

"It doesn't matter, it's good to be rame. This is the cottage key for you girls number 20 and we're here, number 19." Friddie gives the key to Geffie. "Viil, put Geffie's things down and we'll take them to their room!!!"

Garviil nods her head then she goes to the trunk of Friddie's car and lowers the luggage belonging to Geffie, Vineet and Sanne. The men brought her to the cottage that will be occupied by the girls.

Geffie opened the cottage door and entered. Comfortable cottage and behind there is a swimming pool that directly overlooking the beautiful sea view. Geffie hadn't come here in a long time and it was always nice to let go of the whack. After carrying the girls' suitcases, the men came out again and they also took their own suitcases to take them to their cottages.

"There are 2 rooms here, if you want you can use the main room more spacious, so later you can share the bed with your sister, or you want a double bed room??? So we can share, you with your sister, then I with Louis." Friddie. "If in the cottage the girls anyway there are three rooms. It's a little wider, but it's the same."

Garviil smile. "Whatever how good it is, the most important thing is to be able to sleep, that's enough." Garviil.

"OK, you use the main room, Louis and I will be in the regular room. The room's in the back." Friddie shows the direction of the room that Garviil will use to rest. While he will sleep in a double bed room with Friddie.

Garviil went into the room shown by Friddie. Garviil put her small suitcase on the table. He didn't want to take off his clothes, considering he would only be here until noon tomorrow. Garviil opened the window in her room and she smiled as her view was directly facing the sea. With blue water, so beautiful and soothing, there is also a swimming pool right on the back of this cottage. Garviil threw her body on the bed and lay staring at the ceiling of her room. Besides Geffie, it turns out Geffie's best friend looks really good. That was the first impression that AmGarviil felt after getting acquainted with them. Friddie also looks humble and people who appease not like Garviil imagined before.

In the middle of his daydream his phone rang. Garviil reached into his pocket and took his cell phone. "Why Vic???" Answer it quickly.

"I'm on the road, just leaving and going to get there." Vicky said on the other end of the phone.

"OK, just follow according to the location Geffie sent me, I just arrived. The road's good, you'll be less than two and a half hours."

"OK on...!!!"

"Let's call me or Geffie when you get to the cottage."

"Okay, I'll end it first." Vicky closed the call and focused on driving.

Garviil smiled looking for Geffie's contact and contacted her lover, in the first ring directly in the lift. "Hey.." Sapa Garviil's. He's making a video call.

"Hey.... Are you in your room???"

"Yes, what are you doing???"

."I tidied up my clothes. You didn't do it???"

"I just brought a small bag, and I didn't break it, but tomorrow I'm home. Vicky just called me, he's just on his way here."

"Good then... We'll wait for her. This afternoon we'll all see the sunset, so you'll recover the energy first we'll go to the floor together."

"Yes dear....!!!! Ilove you...."

"me too.... Already, I have to tidy up my clothes, later you come with Brother, he and brother Louis will definitely come here. While waiting for Vicky and afternoon to come. We had lunch together. I just ordered lunch from a restaurant that's here and it'll be delivered in a little while.

"Yes, get your clothes done, I'll rest for a while too. Yea..."

The call ended and Garviil put her phone next to her and tired, she closed her eyes and went straight to sleep.

****\,

The heat is scorching but in the blue sky decorated with some white cloud clumps, coconut leaves are swaying in the wind. The white sand floor and coral on the beach make the atmosphere so comfortable, and cool and very beautiful.

The beautiful woman took off the towel wrapped around her waist and threw it into the sand, then walked towards the water and began to enter the warm sea water. With the bright sunlight, as if it did not scare him into cokeIat. He loves water and swimming. So that the beach is always the best choice for a vacation and enjoy the tranquility presented by nature.

Her pretty face and her petite body made her even more involved amazingly. It's nice to be in a quiet place like this. He could not just stay in the cottage and wanted to go for a walk to make his mood good.

Slow steps towards the sea. The small waves made her feet instantly wet and she continued walking towards the sea to then soak and swim. He did not care about his quiit would be a geIap but he would not miss the time to swim in this blue sea.

Her name is Ciara, she is a young company leader and has only served about a year since her Papa died. Companies in the field of import and export. She is very beautiful, and has a habit of adventure so she does not like to worry about body and skin like women in general. She is very happy to work and very smart in terms of leadership, so many people call her a tigress who is able to solve various problems easily and does not take long, he said, until it is natural that people respect him enough.

"Ahhhh so fresh.....!!! The calm waves and enough brightness of the sun make everything even more extraordinary. Aaahhh if I also found my heart here, it would be even more fun. Haha...." Mumbled Ciara rudder.Laughs at herself.
