Touch Me!

Touch Me!
Lexi's business


The day has changed. The warm sun shines on the earth. Greeting the beautiful morning that is shrouded in happiness. Vanya walked with quick footsteps.


" Huh...! huh....! I was finally able to save the remaining fifteen minutes of time before the working hours began. "


Vanya flapped his face with the palm of his hand. Day after day Vanya goes through with passion for the sake of his little Nathan. The money left by the mother was enough until Nathan went to college. But just in case, it would be best if Vanya had her inner reserve fund.


The red light is on. Vehicles that had previously continued to accelerate, are now compact to stop their activities and allow pedestrians to cross the road.


While in the car. Nath is at the forefront. Nath, who was busy with his phone, suddenly stares ahead. His eyes were fixed on a girl with an office uniform attached to her body. Long hair beautifully scattered plus a gust of wind that blew his hair, as if adding a beautiful impression in his eyes. Nath kept looking at her until the girl moved away. The red light has changed to a yellow light and then green. Nath could no longer see where the girl was going. It was like he was going down and meeting her. But it's gonna feel weird, right? what would he say if he was in front of the girl? his inner.


Arriving at the office lobby. Vanya uses her glasses and face mask. Yes, trying to be vigilant. Understandably, Vanya considers himself a suspect who ran away from punishment. It is natural that he is afraid.


" Vanya? why are you covering your face like that? " Ask one of his office friends while looking at Vanya confused.


Vanya removed her glasses and face mask.


" Ba, how do you know if it's me? " Vanya looked confused. He has covered his whole face.


" You did cover your face. But I can see the employee's access card you looped around your neck."


" Uh? " Vanya scratched her non-itchy nape. Embarrassing or stupid? or should I be ashamed of being stupid? Vanya could only grimace innocently in response to him.


" Nath? you've been daydreaming lately. Are you still thinking about that girl? you said you'd live your life as usual, right? " Lexi's trying to break Nath's daydream that seems so serious. Lexi knocked on the door several times and got no response. Nath was still silent. " Nath?! " Lexi patted Nath on the shoulder who was still sitting dumbstruck.


" huh?! " Nath was surprised. He rubbed his face several times to expel his thoughts.


Lexi put down some documents that Nath needs to check and sign.


" You still thinking about that girl? "


" what else could make me this way? " Nath grabbed the document sheet and opened it. He tries to focus on his work. But, still. Again the girl appeared in his brain. Nath kept the document out of his presence. " You're the one who checked. I'll sign it after. I can't think now.


" Nath? you need a psychiatrist. Sorry I said this. " As a friend, Lexi also felt sorry to see her friend who was helpless because she thought of a girl who was not necessarily real.


" I've done it."


" then? "


" There's nothing wrong with me. I went to two doctors for a comparison. "


" How did it go? "


" In short, one doctor said, if it's just my imagination. And one more doctor said, I need to see the girl and make sure."


Lexi folded both arms and placed them on her chest. " Don't tell me, opinion number two is Kevin saying it. "


" Bingo. And I want to try it. Kevin is our best friend. There was no way he would give advice that would mislead his own best friend. "


Lexi sighed. Apparently, this isn't just a figment.


" Nath, can you consider Gaby's feelings? he'll be very hurt. She's the woman who lasted so long for you."


Nath looked at Lexi with his cold gaze. " We grew up together, you know me better than my parents. You know what I hate the most, right? "


Lexi looked down to remember. Nath is the one who can least and least like to be forced.


" I never agreed to this marriage. My parents never talked about this. If the wedding day had come, I would never have been her groom. "


" Go. I know how you feel. I'm not the one who doesn't respond. If you continue to offer the woman you love to me, then she will not live happily. "


Lexi walked out of Nath's room with a gloomy face.


The afternoon began to arrive. Work hours are also over. Vanya came out of the room without wearing a mask and glasses. Just free his mind. Can only be on guard from the possibility that might happen. Vanya continued to walk regardless of anything other than her phone.


Oh gosh. My son is really a good boy. He doesn't even bother me at all. He's really an adorable kid. Auntie said too, my little Nathan is very independent so Aunty doesn't need much work.


Vanya keeps smiling reading her chating with her little Nathan. This ordinary thing according to others, is a fun moment. Not felt, the only child of his puppet is already adept at replying to his inner message.


' Bruk!


" ah! sorry. " Say one of the male employees who accidentally hit Vanya and spilled half of the mineral water from the bottle he was holding.


" Well it's okay. Will not leave a stain. " Vanya smiled looking at the man in front of her. Pretty handsome. His inner.


" I was completely unintentional. I'm too focused on my phone. " Tell the man.


" It doesn't matter. I'm also focusing on my phone."


" all right. I'll apologize the right way later. How's Vanya? "


" Uh? how do you know my name? "


" From here. " The man pointed at Vanya's employee card.


Vanya smiled while scratching her non-itchy nape.


I forgot about this again.


" Okay Vanya. I gotta get going. Bye then. " The man passed by leaving a smile that was so sweet to Vanya.


She's so sweet.


" Nath? why did you stop? " Tanya Lexi who suddenly stopped while looking at the two people who were engrossed in talking from a distance.


" That girl, the girl I mean. So he works here? " Nath's eyes were fixedly staring at Vanya from a distance.


Lexi looked back at the girl Nath had been staring at for so long. " So she? "


" yes. "


" But it seemed, she was also very familiar with the man who had invited her to speak earlier. I think it would be better if you think back. Fearfully, he was married. You're not gonna take anyone's wife, are you? "


" Of course. "


Lexi let out a sigh of relief. Eventually, he was able to save Gaby.


" The right choice. " Talk Lexi who really looks relieved.


" Yes of course. No matter who he belongs to, I'll take him. " Nath stepped back into the main lobby. The place where the car was waiting for him.
