Say Hello
SH 43'S
Lea regained consciousness from the daydream because someone patted her on the shoulder. He then turned his head, “What's up, sis?” Ask.
“Come, back to work” Said Lea's co-worker.
Leah moved from her seat, tailing the woman in front of her.
In his work cubic, Lea could not focus because he was still thinking about the CEO who turned out to be Khai.
‘Why didn't Brother Chan say anything?’ Lea Mumbled. In his heart, he felt disappointed that Chan did not tell EM Fashion's background, but he was also guilty of not seeking information about the company properly.
Lea took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, then turned on the computer to continue the work that had been delayed yesterday.
***apartment***
After work, Lea cooks for dinner. This time, he would cook sour-sauce shrimp, fried fish, and capcay. For Lea, cooking is not just a necessity but has become a hobby that can reduce fatigue. He could even finish three dishes within an hour. After the cooking was completed, he arranged it on the table, then peeled the fruit for dessert. His smile grew when he saw the dining table was filled with food. Lea then invited her younger brother to dinner together.
“What if we go home?” Lea asked breaking the silence.
“Did something happen between brother and sister Chan?” Ask Dayyan.
“No. It's just that we can't stay here any longer. Although the house is not ours, it is our home. I think it's safe if we go back home. News about us has also died down” Bright Lea.
Just by looking at her brother's flat expression, Dayyan already understood that her brother was thinking of something. Not wanting to ask much, Dayyan finally agreed to her brother's words.
“When are we going home?” Ask Dayyan.
“Tonight. Finish eating, pack” said Lea.
“What's not in a hurry? Brother Chan also has not returned home”
“Later brother will call him. You just pack up”
Dayyan nodded her head at her brother's words that could no longer be denied.
Dinner was over, Dayyan and Lea went into their rooms to pack their clothes.
Lea looked at each corner of the room, then sat on the edge of the bed, taking Chan's frame on the nightstand. 'Sorry, brother. For now, I'm selfish, but I need time to think. Hopefully brother can understand my decision' Gumam Lea quietly.

Chan came home at 01:00 in the morning, he went straight to his study to rest. As it was late at night, he did not realize that Lea and Dayyan had returned to their home.
The next day...
Chan squirms, fluttering the blanket at random, staggering typical of people just waking up. He looked at the dining table that looked different than usual, there was no food there. The man went into the kitchen, but found no one to look for. Realizing there was an awkwardness, he immediately ran to the room to make sure.
Chan, who was on the verge of walking unsteadily towards the bed, sat there. No Lea, just a piece of white paper on the nightstand. Chan squeezed the paper, threw it away. If there was no urgent work, he would have met Lea by that very second.
‘Akh.. My head is dizzy if I don't see him now. His phone could not be reached either. I don't even know what the problem is, but he instead left without saying’ Chan said. He was silent for a moment, massaging the temple while thinking, ‘Did he already know about EM Fashion?!’ Said Chan again.
Chan's phone rang, signaling if someone had called him, he lazily received the call. “Yes, baik” He replied to the voice across there, then ended the voice call.
Chan had to resist his desire to meet Lea because he had to work, the woman also would not like to be met during working hours.
.
.
Chan pulled over the car, then ran up to Lea's doorstep. The door was still tightly closed despite being knocked repeatedly, but Chan did not give up until it opened.
“Kakak has slept” said Dayyan without further ado.
“Since knowing my relationship with your brother, you've been so cold like this, what's up?” Chan asked who was curious about Dayyan's change in attitude.
Dayyan stared fixedly at Chan, “I just want to keep my brother”.
“Let it be my duty, you don't worry”
“I can't let go of my brother that easily” Dayyan said again.
Chan sighed, “Alright, but.. can I meet your sister?”
“Kakak already..” Not yet finished Dayyan spoke, Lea had already appeared from behind the door. The woman nodded her head, giving the code for her sister to make room for Chan to talk. Dayyan who could read the code from her brother, immediately resigned from the presence of the two.
“Why did you come home without saying goodbye?” Chan asked after making sure Dayyan disappeared from behind the door.
“I've written a message in surat” Reply Lea.
“That's not what I mean. Did I make a mistake that made you angry?” Ask Chan slowly.
Lea shook her head, “Not”
Chan was increasingly confused to hear Lea's short answer. “Soal EM Fashion.. I'm sorry for not telling you from the beginning. But, I really don't know if you're going to work there” Chan explained.
Lea turned to Chan, “Why didn't sister say anything?”
Chan lowered his head, unable to see Lea's disappointed look, “I'm afraid if you think I'm involved in the recruitment process. Trust me, I really don't know if you end up working there”
“Because sister does not talk, I can actually misunderstand” said Lea slowly.
“Sorry. From now on, I won't hide anything from you. So... come on, go home to the apartment again” Invite Chan expectantly.
Lea sighed, fixedly staring at Chan, “I want to go back home. Thank you for the offer and ride during this”
“While you don't want to go back to the apartment, please don't let go of me” Pinta Chan is sincere.
“When Brother Emira introduces himself as an assistant brother Khai not as his wife, suddenly my confidence is lost. Emira is so good that she can pretend in front of everyone. Looks like, I can't be as great as Emira”'s brother Bright Lea while bowing my head.
“No, you're great too. You don't have to hide like Emira later” Chan assured Lea.
This time, Lea ventured to look at Chan, “I want to think seriously before making a big decision” said later.
Chan took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, “Alright, I'll give you time to think about it. But, you have to know this.You were the best decision I ever made. Even though the risk was great, I was ready to bear it. So, please consider well” Chan said as he rubbed Lea's head gently, then grilled away. Meanwhile, Lea wiped the tears that almost fell on her cheeks while staring at Chan from a distance.
