Say Hello
SH 28'S
Chan waved his hand right in front of Lea's face, “Why even daydream?” He asked after Lea blinked her eyes.
‘Can-can still ask, obviously I'm surprised’ muttered Lea quietly.
“What did you say?”
Lea shook her head, her brain was still unable to properly digest Chan's words. “I want to go home. My brain needs rest now also” Lea said.
“Let me take part!” Chan exclaimed as he moved from his seat.
“Do not!!” Sergey Lea. “I can't even think that brother's dropping off. Let me go home alone” Lea said again.
Despite the ban, Chan insisted on sending Lea. However, the woman re-moved, “Tomorrow we talk again. So, please let me go home by myself”
Chan finally relented and let Lea leave just like that. After Lea disappeared from behind the door, Chan immediately downed a glass of water to the toilet. His heart beat very fast, even felt almost moved position.
‘Although say it with full confidence, but I was very nervous. Well, I didn't expect it to be this brave. Am I in too much of a hurry? What if he stays away? Akh!!! Again I acted rashly’ Gerutu Chan to myself.
‘But..wouldn't women be happier with a clear man than with a pull-out. I don't know, I can't focus on thinking’ Monologue Chan.
The drying of the phone made Chan aghast, he lazily received the phone call.
“Alright, I'll be there now” He said in the voice across there. After the phone call ended, Chan then went to SUN house to train with the members.

In her room, Lea could not close her eyes at all. Chan's words kept turning around in his head, as if giving him no time to think about anything else.
‘Can-can he express feelings easily. I can't even say a word. But... what this means... we will..’ Lea immediately struck a forehead, cursing her already drifting mind.
‘Kak Chan is the idol and CEO of the company, where maybe women like me accompany him’ Gumam Lea. Although Chan had openly admitted his joy, Lea still felt incomparable to the man. Instead of being happy, Lea was worried. He was afraid that Chan was just getting carried away because he was happy to meet Tara, the person he had always wanted to meet.
Lea picked up the phone to call Chayra, but she abandoned the intention. Things like this cannot be told to Chayra without compromising first with Chan. Either way, Chayra and Chan are brother and sister, it would be even more complicated if Chayra knew at this time.
The phone he was holding rang, leaving Lea shocked and almost throwing the flat object.
‘Chayra..’ Lea murmured while staring at the phone screen. ‘Don't-don't he already know..but there's no way brother Chan told Chayra’ Gumam Lea again.
The flat object stopped ringing because Lea never answered the phone call. A few seconds later, the flat object rang again. Quickly, Lea answered.
“How long was it? Have you slept?” A voice across there.
“Do not nag. What's the matter you called?”
“You're... My mom wants to order a steamed sponge for tomorrow”
“How much?”
“10 boxes, can?”
“Can, but for what is that much?”
“There are friends of mothers who want to visit. Can you take the steamed sponge home? I can't go there because I have to choose a university"
“Yes, let me take you. Do you finally want to go to college here?”
“Of course not, I chose some universities in Paris. Therefore, tomorrow I will consult with one of the lecturers who also studied there”
“Basic stubbornness. I'll hang up the phone, see you tomorrow” said Lea ended a voice call with her best friend.
***The next day***
Lea re-examined the neatly arranged boxes on the table to ensure their completeness. Ten minutes waiting, the taxi that had been booked arrived. With a friendly smile, the taxi driver helped Lea compose the cake box into the car. The road was not so crowded, making the middle-aged man can drive his car quickly, until thirty minutes later, Lea had arrived in front of Chayra's house.
Seeing that the whitewashed house was quite crowded, Lea hesitated to enter. Fortunately the security guard was aware of Lea's doubts, so he was willing to drive Lea to the doorstep.
“Come, enter” said the middle-aged woman with a friendly smile welcoming a helping hand Lea.
“You just sit down, let auntie make it.” Tell Cindy's mother Chayra and Chan when she sees Lea about to put a steamed sponge on the table.
Seeing Ms. Cindy treat Lea kindly, made Celia and her parents curious about the female figure who was now sitting next to Chayra, but the curiosity was soon answered after Ms. Cindy introduced Lea as her daughter's best friend.
“Lea is like a sister to Chan”
Miss Cindy's words made Celia and her parents nod their heads, while Chan shook his head in disapproval. Chan did think of Lea as his sister, but that was before he realized his feelings.
“Lea introduce, this is Celia and her parents” said Bu Cindy introduced her guest. “She's a woman who wants to be paired with brother Chan. They match, right?” Cindy is back.
Chayra elbowed the arm of her best friend, “Lea His whisper.
“Happy to know you. Iy... yes, they are very suitable” replied Lea slowly while glancing towards Chan. All who heard Lea's reply smiled except for Chan who looked disappointed.
The chatter of the two families made Lea clumsy. Both Celia's parents and Chan's mother, both supported and favored their respective children. Increasingly clueless with the chatter of the parents, Lea finally moved from her place with the reason of wanting to go to the toilet. And without Lea noticing, someone followed behind.
‘Akh. If I knew it would be this way, I would have Dayyan drive me here. They're compatible, but why wouldn't I want to see them. I don't want to be greedy, but I also can't bear to hear and see them set up’ Monologue Lea before disappearing from behind the toilet door.
Ten minutes passed, Lea did not come out yet, Chan who was waiting for her in front of the toilet door became riled up. In fact, he almost toppled because he was about to break down the toilet door that Lea had opened.
“You are... I almost fell because of you” Protest Chan.
Lea's forehead shriveled at Chan's words, “Why is sister here? Sister peeking, yes?” Ask.
Chan softened Lea's forehead for accusing her, “Let's talk. You said you'd talk today” He said later.
“There's nothing more we'll talk about. All is clear, sister and Celia are indeed very compatible” said Lea, then sauntered from the front of Chan. Quickly, Chan held Lea back from leaving.
“Release” Pinta Lea while trying to release Chan's hand that is coiled around her wrist.
Regardless of Lea's words, Chan actually pulled the woman's hand, “Follow me!”
“Where?”
“Tell them if we like each other and reject that matchmaking!”
Lea was surprised to hear Chan's words, but the man was very serious about his words.
“Kak... Please don't do this, please!” Although Lea pleaded, Chan still stepped in without hesitation. “Come, we talk carefully” This time Lea tried to negotiate, but Chan still did not hear it so that Lea could only resign.
Not only Chayra and her mother, but Celia and her parents were shocked because Chan appeared while pulling Lea's hand.
“You why?” Ask Miss Cindy.
Chan looked at Lea, the woman's eyes had already condensed to tears.
“I have to go to SUN house because there are important talks with Mr. Sugara and the members..”.
Not finished Chan spoke, Miss Cindy has given a code for her son to give an explanation for holding Lea's hand.
“He'll be home because he has to deliver the order. Because it's so slow, so I pulled it”
Lea breathed a sigh of relief at Chan's words, as did Celia and her parents who had panicked.
"Don't treat Leah like this again. She's in pain because you're holding her too tightly" Ms. Cindy said as she removed Chan's hand from Lea's.
"If you want to drive her, take it well" said the middle-aged woman again.
Lea and Chan left after saying goodbye. Despite smiling to see the two leave, Celia became increasingly curious by the figure of Lea who was very familiar with the Chan family.
