Say Hello
SH 24'S
1 month later...
Lea sat down while contemplating fate, the once very clear conviction now lingering faded. The high spirits also began to decline. A month had passed, but he still had not found a job, while his savings were already very thin.
Lea was almost frustrated with the seemingly endless problems. Even so, Lea still wants to deny people's thoughts about work with the help of relationships. For him, everyone lives by their own destiny and cannot be equated.
After finishing her warm chocolate, Lea prepared to meet Felix. I don't know what the man will say so ask to meet on weekdays.
30 Minutes passed, Lea had already arrived at the cafe where Felix was waiting. The man waved his hand to let Lea know of his whereabouts.
“What big brother has been waiting for?” Lea asked as she pulled out a chair, then sat face to face with Felix.
“No, I have quite a lot of free time today” Felix replied with a smile.
“Thank God. How is the office?”
Felix shrugged, “There are no noticeable changes other than your departure”.
Leah laughed at hearing that. Inwardly, he wanted to ask Chan the news but was unable to speak. Since the incident at SUN house, the distance between Lea and Chan has gotten further and further. Don't talk, just meet no.
“Have you got a job?”
“But” Reply Lea while smiling awkwardly.
“I don't mean to offend, but... if you want, I can help” Felix said slowly but clearly.
Lea nodded her head, “Thank you”.
Without Lea and Felix noticing, a pair of eyes were looking sharply from outside the cafe. Those eyes belonged to Chan. The man happened to be passing the cafe by the side of the road, the wall of the cafe made of glass makes Chan can clearly see Felix and Lea even from inside the car.

Lea soon meets Chayra after her conversation with Felix is over. Chayra requested that Lea stay over because her mother was visiting the home of one of the relatives who was holding a celebration for the birth of her first grandchild.
When entering the white luxury home area, Lea hopes to meet with Chan although the possibility is very small because Chan already has his own place to live.
“You've arrived? Come, log in!” Take Chayra enthusiastically and follow Lea from behind.
The sound of the door opening again made the two women shocked. Chayra moved from sitting to check on the approaching footsteps.
“Kakak... make scared course” Gerutu Chayra.
“What are you afraid of, there are ghosts in the afternoon? In front there is also a security guard, replied Chan.
Chayra mayun heard her brother's answer, “Why is sister here?” Ask.
“Mother told me to. Aren't you happy if I go home?!” Chan asked while shaking his sister's forehead.
Chayra rubbed her forehead, “Not so, but I've been accompanied by Lea”
Chan was surprised to see Lea watching TV, ‘I should have known this would happen’.
“Kak why daydream there? Come watch with us, the show is so exciting!” Chayra said while pointing to the television show that was being watched.
Chan smiled knowing his sister and Lea were watching the program ‘Sun’ Story, but he was reluctant to join and chose to stay in the room to rest.
After finishing one episode, Lea left Chayra to cook dinner. He deliberately cooks himself, want to invite Chayra also free. His best friend would not help at all, instead making a mess in the kitchen. Although there was a housekeeper, Chayra's mother used to cook for her children. If her mother is away, Chayra will eat out or order food through the app.
Thirty minutes passed, three types of dishes were neatly served on the table. There is fried chicken, potato sauce, and Chan and Chayra's favorite toge stir-fry. Lea deliberately cooked for three portions because she thought Chan would join her. After everything is ready, Lea invites Chayra to dinner.
“Wah... It feels like there is a mother in home” Chayra said while observing Lea cuisine.
“Don't overdo it, it's just simple cuisine” said Lea. “Didn't your sister eat?” Ask Lea slowly.
“He will come down when he is hungry. Come on, we eat”
“Just tell me” Chayra said again, pointing at Chan who was walking into the kitchen.
Chan went to the kitchen not to eat, but just to get water from the fridge. Then say goodbye to her apartment.
“So not eating first? This is all Lea who cooks, there is stir-fried toge and fried chicken favorite sister also” Chayra said.
Chan glanced at the dining table, but made no comment. “Because you've been there to accompany, so I'll go home”.
With annoyed expressions, Chayra said, “What kind of boy would leave his sister at home while mom is traveling!”
Chan scrambles his sister's hair, “Do not talk when the mouth is full of food. You're not a kid anymore, are you?” Chan said, then sauntered away from Chayra and Lea.
Lea looked at Chan's back which was getting further away from sight. Inwardly, he was completely clueless with the man's change of attitude. Perhaps, he was too hopeful that Chan would apologize. Now, Chan never thought it existed.

Chayra had been sleeping for an hour, but Lea was still awake. The girl could not sleep because she thought about many things. Starting from the job that has not been obtained, the tuition fee of Dayyan, Chan who is increasingly away from him, parents who have not contacted him since he gave a graduation invitation. All of those things always revolve around Lea's head before bed.
Tara :'s :
“Are you asleep?”
Not until one minute, the phone vibrates to signal a message coming in.
The sun :
“Not yet. Why haven't you slept this late?”
Tara :'s :
“I can't sleep😁”
The sun :
“This time what do you think?”
Tara :'s :
“You are indeed very sensitive”
“So I met my ex-boss, but he didn't see me at all”
The sun :
“Please introduce me to your former boss”
Tara :'s :
“For what?”
The sun :
“I want to curse and beat him. I really hate the people you like”
Tara :'s :
“Come on, I didn't mean to make you a bad person. I just want to tell you”
“Not only that, I also haven't got a job until now”
The sun :
“When you're ready, come to me”
“I can help you get a job, or do you want me to lend you money?”
“Sorry, I didn't mean to offend”
Tara :'s :
“What does that mean? You always say so”
“No. You want to listen to my bullshit is enough”
The sun :
“Maybe this sounds silly, but I want to admit it. I... like you”
“I know this is strange because we have never met”
“I just want to be honest, please don't stay away because of this. I'm so glad to have a friend like you”
“Good. Whenever you need help, I'm ready to help”
Tara :'s :
“Thank you”
Lea replied briefly to the message from the Sun while staring at the mobile phone in her hand, her mind getting more complicated due to the recognition from the Sun. Never mind meeting, seeing his picture has never been but already claimed to like it. So far, the Sun is indeed a good friend and fun to talk to but Lea never thought would be interested in people who are not known for real.
Meanwhile in the room, Chan cursed at his stupidity. Unwittingly, he confesses his feelings for Tara. The person he never met, even saw his picture. Chan confesses his feelings for being annoyed at Tara who keeps on turning to her former boss.
‘Akh!!! Stupid idiot, if he stays away how?’
‘I shouldn't be rash!!’ Bump Chan on himself.
