Uta & Alber [EN]
159. Up And Down

The Alber POV

I just got home from taking Uta to her house. It turns out that while in Jakarta, he lived a house that Aunt Celine bought for Tama to study. The distance is approximately 20 minutes from the location of the second branch project of Uta business.

I was worried because he lived there alone. It is still a few months away from Jakarta. But Uta said the housing complex was safe. And I admit it.

The place where Uta lives, is a middle to lower housing complex. But the developer seems to be more sensitive to security. It is evident from the presence of CCTV in various corners of the complex. Plus, there is a security post that is guarded by 2-3 security guards alternately for 24 hours. Makes me finally much more relieved.

Uta did not allow me to enter her tiny house, because the day was soon dark. But that doesn't diminish my happiness, because we're back to talking like we used to. Yeah, after the misunderstanding was over. Uta gradually melted, the defense was not as strong as before.

I made sure he got home safe. The tail of my eyes followed in his footsteps until the door closed. A smile on my face. These two days it feels up and down so fast.

Falasback

Two days before ....

That morning I arrived in an area a little far from central Jakarta. A kind of second layer for crowd problems. But the outlook is bright for the next 2-3 years.

I saw an old building that had quite a large courtyard. The total area of the old building and its courtyard is about 500 meters x 500 meters. The area I planned to execute became a place of business.

I deliberately parked my car a bit off the project site that I was hoping for. Before long, from inside the car I saw a figure that I missed 5 years. Sweet girl who 5 years ago disappeared without news, now walking not far from where I am.

5 Years without each other, Uta seemed to change. Her body that used to be a little contained, now looks slim like other girls. Fortunately his chubby cheeks did not immediately disappear. That adorable cheek is still in its place. His straight black hair also looked unchanged, the length of a boat was beautifully smeared.

Although not obvious, but I can catch the skin of Uta a little whiter than 5 years ago. So that the sweep of her thin makeup looks shining on that smooth white skin. Uta is really transformed like an adult woman now. In fact, the knee-high simple dress she was wearing, looked so sweet on her body.

Ungoverned, my eyes automatically follow wherever he goes. My heart, which for 5 years felt empty, is now back pounding. But I can't cover up a hint of disappointment either. Disappointed that Uta had left, without a word being said.

I got out of the car and walked towards the location where the project was. Knock the door slowly. There was a voice that quickly added to the tension in my heart. Before long the door opened.

Now I'm dealing with him. I clearly see the face of the 5 years I always wait for news. Well-favoured. Really pretty. The smell of sweet but unique perfume, exactly describes itself in my smell. I feel this heartbeat ticking many times. The longing is so deep, now it pays off when you see it.

But happiness is about one thing. So clear in my eyes, Uta who looked surprised when she knew I was the one who came. The smile that was just now slowly dissipated. Does he like to see me again? Would he prefer if Panji was working on this project?

I don't know, I feel like my mood is changing so fast. Disappointment that had been knocked out by the feeling of happiness, now turned to control my heart.

Without realizing it, my attitude was also affected. I who really like to joke with Uta, suddenly become quiet and talk very tight to her. Even when he wanted to melt the atmosphere by asking Annem Babam news, I brushed off by reprimanding him unprofessionally.

Arghhhhc .... What's wrong with me...??!!! *Albers

My first regret arose, when I saw her a little shocked as those words were thrown from my lips. He became quiet and followed my will. No laughter was heard, other than formal words surrounding the project.

I tried to give him a little explanation about the state of the building. But what I regretted, my nervousness made these eyes avoid his sight. I look at the iPad screen more than him.

Uta was mistaken, so more lowered her head in silence. Awkwardness is really dominating now. At the end of our meeting, I told Uta to continue meeting tomorrow at a cafe Z. I gave him my business card for him to call tomorrow.
