Say Hello
SH 32'S
Weekend...
‘Akh... Why don't I have the right women's clothes!’ Lea said after unpacking the contents of the closet but did not find what was sought.
Instantly, Lea smiled as she remembered something. He got out of the closet and took a box under his bed.
‘Thank God, I still save this’ Lea said as she opened the box containing the gown from Chayra as a birthday gift. The dress was also the only female outfit Lea had other than a shirt and work skirt.
Although she had once gone alone with Chan, but this was the first time they would leave after acknowledging their feelings.
After reading the message from Chan, Lea immediately rushed out to meet the man.
‘Luckily Dayyan isn't home. If he sees me, I could be his ridicule for a week’ Monologue Lea while locking the door of the house, then approached Chan who was waiting for him in the car.
Chan opened the window of the car, then whistled while watching Lea's appearance. The girl wore a dress that was a light brown knee length with long sleeves combined with white shoes and bags, her appearance was more graceful when her long hair was allowed to unravel by pinning a hairpin on the right side, “Why are angels on earth?” Ask Chan.
Lea clucked, “Don't mock me”
“You deliberately look like this to meet me?” Chan asked after Lea was in the car.
“Is this too weird?”
Chan shook his head, “No. You're beautiful, but don't change your appearance for me. Be yourself, wear your most comfortable clothes. Whatever you wear, I still love” Chan said.
Lea bowed her head, “But..sister often said if I look like a boy and not clear”.
Chan stared fixedly at Lea as he gently stroked the woman's head, “So you were offended by my words? ... I'm sorry. I do talk a lot, but I don't lie. I like you because you're Lea, not because of looks or anything else”.
Lea looked up, returned Chan's gaze, “Thank you”
Chan smiles, “Come, depart”
“We'll have a picnic, but not prepare anything?!" Ask Lea.
“Look down, I've prepared everything” said Chan, then drove his luxury car.
1 Hour later...
Lea was very enthusiastic because it was the first picnic since fifteen years ago. In the past, when he was in Primary School, he had a picnic with his family, but it was his first and last picnic.
Chan smiled at Lea who was very excited, “When you've been wearing a dress like this, but I can only take you for a picnic. Sorry” Chan said.
Lea turned her head, smiling at Chan who was now beside her, “It's okay. I actually like the quiet open air, compared to a crowded place”
Lea prepared the food and drink that Chan had brought, then invited the man to eat together.
“Sit” Said Lea while patting grass coated with plain white fabric.
“Enak once.. eating ice cream during the day is suitable” said Lea again.
Chan laughed at Lea's cute expression, “Es cream eaten or drunk?” Ask Chan.
Lea shut up for a moment, “Two. If it is frozen, it is eaten. If it is liquid, drink” Bright Lea.
Chan laughed again at Lea's reply. One of the things Chan likes about Lea is that she can put herself in all situations. Sometimes act funny like a child, but will be very mature when faced with problems.
“How was your interview yesterday?” Ask Chan.
Lea took a deep breath and exhaled violently, “Not as expected. I don't understand the rules of the company, they want experienced employees, but don't give a chance for new graduates to get experience” Gerutu Lea while eating ice cream.
“You want a letter of recommendation from me?”
Lea shook her head, “No. Let me move to my ability. Although it is difficult, I will still try to”
Chan rubbed Lea's head, encouraging her, “Alright, I trust you. But... don't be too long, don't let the new horned chicken we married”
Lea glared as she brushed Chan's hand off her head, “That's bad... Brother prayed for me to get a long time to work?!”
“That's not what I mean” Chan said with a wink.
Realizing there was an awkwardness, Chan immediately turned his head back, “Akh... shit!” Aspersion.
“What's up?” Ask Lea.
“Subdue” Titah Chan while removing the jacket she wears and closing it on Lea's head.
“Kak why?” Ask Lea curiously.
Chan took Lea's hand and said, “Don't look. Come to the car!”
Lea was about to take off Chan's jacket that covered her head, but the man forbade it.
“Actually, what's up? Why should I cover my head?”
“There's paparazzi” Chan replied as he drove his car.
Along the way, Lea was silent. Many things he wanted to ask, but seeing Chan who was also silent and focused on the streets, made him so reluctant to talk.
Chan pulled the car over in front of the supermarket, then said, “I can't just drive you. I'm sure they're still following. We wait in the supermarket until my driver arrives. After swapping cars, I can take you home”
Lea shook her head, “It's okay, I'll go home by myself. We stopped at the supermarket, then after five minutes, brother just went home. I'll also go home”
“You're angry, yes?” Ask Chan carefully.
“No. This is a risk of my choice. Sooner or later, something like this is going to happen. My future husband is a famous artist” said Lea with a smile.
Lea saluted Chan, “Each commander!” Said Lea and Chan just laughing looking at her.
***The next day***
‘Who called this early in the morning?’ Monologue Chan grabbed a flat object in the nightstand near his bed.
“I haven't seen the news this morning” Chan told the voice across there.
“Yes. Thank you” Chan said again, before ending his conversation.
Chan was aghast after reading the news from his phone screen, ‘Akh... Sial” muttered while getting out of bed.
.
.
.
Chan rushed to meet the five members, Mr. Arsel, and Mr. Sugara who had been waiting in the meeting room.
“Explain this!” Said Mr. Sugara while showing some articles to Chan.
“You're in a lot of news because of your closeness to Celia, why are you so careless?!” Said Mr. Sugara again.
“I'm sorry” Chan said.
“You're really dating her?” Ask Mr. Arsel.
Chan shook his head, “No. The woman was named Lea” Bright Chan.
The five members were shocked to hear Chan's confession.
“Lea your sister's friend?” Ask Dza.
“He was also once an intern at the sister's office, right?” Zhi asked.
Chan nodded his head again, “Iya. She is Tara, my friend on the app”
The five members were again surprised to hear Chan's words.
“How can you?!” Ask Khai curiously.
Strictly speaking, Mr. Sugara asked, “Tara, Lea, who are they? What are you hiding from us?!”
Chan then told all five members, Mr. Sugara, and Mr. Arsel. Actually, Chan wanted to have a discussion with Lea before telling them, but since the situation was not possible, he had to talk for Lea's sake.
“Akh... My head hurts!” Said Mr. Sugara while holding his head.
“Padahat only a year ago Khai made a scene, now you even want to follow in his footsteps” Said Mr. Sugara again.
Mr. Arsel approached Chan, then patted the man on the shoulder, “You really are an adult now”
“How long have you been dating?” Ask Zhi.
“We are not dating. I just wait until Lea gets a job, after that. we will marry”.
The five members, Mr. Sugara, and Mr. Arsel were surprised to hear Chan's very relaxed speech, even the man spoke confidently.
“This boy... You really want to see me having a heart attack, huh?!” Ask Mr. Sugara in annoyance.
Chan smiled widely, then said, “It is not so, but please understand me. Anyway, I am a normal guy who wants to get married and have cute kids”
Khai put Chan on the shoulder, “I just don't have a child yet, you want to get ahead of me!”
“You do not have feelings, brother Ez, brother Zal, and sister Dza just do not have someone who likes, but you even talk about things like this lightly!” Said Zhi who immediately got a toyoran from his three brothers.
“Stop it... You can joke around in this situation!” Order Mr. Sugara.
Got a reprimand from Mr. Sugara, making the six members look at each other, then silence simultaneously. Just the kids who are regretting their mistakes and upsetting their father.
After a few minutes of silence, Khai finally opened his voice, “When you said you didn't want to be betrothed to Celia, I was worried that the trauma of your parents' divorce had re-emerged, but after hearing of your desire to get married, I was relieved. You're an adult, ya”
“Although I feel sorry for Lea, but I am proud that you have dared to make a big decision for your life” Ez said.
“Actually, you want to praise or insult me?!” Chan asked Ez.
“Celaan is a delayed compliment. I want to praise or blame, same thing, right?!”
Chan clucked, already very understanding with Ez who likes to talk without feeling. Even so, Chan knows that Ez loves him sincerely.
Zal then rubbed Chan's head, followed by Dza, Ez, Khai, and Zhi. The swipe turned into a clap for a long time, making Chan scream. The five members laughed with satisfaction.
Seeing the familiarity of the six members, made Mr. Arsel and Mr. Sugara smile. The two middle-aged men could not bear to scold the members. What Chan said was true, they were normal men who wanted to have a small family as a home to go home.
