Gibran's fingers were tapping the table, the meeting that started at 7 was just finished, some people had left the room, only Gibran, his secretary and two other staff were cleaning the room.
Gibran's plan to meet Melisa's father on the girl's birthday fails even now, even though he, Via and Rere have devised a surprise plan for Melisa. Gibran had just read a message from Rere informing him of Melisa's father's departure and was due to return home on the 13th, while starting from the 12th to the 17th, Gibran has an important schedule out of town!
"Everything failed, right!" gibran murmured, making Gama stare at him.
"What failed, sir? Didn't our meeting go well today?"
Gibran answered nothing, leaving Gama alone.
"Well? Mr. Gibran broke up again, huh?" Gama tidied a few piles of maps on the table, then followed Gibran to his study.
In the midst of dizziness at the thought of his failed plan, Gibran instead recalled the demands of his mother, who continued to ask to be reunited with the girl Gibran likes. Gibran was looking for the right time to meet them!
"Friends?"
"Yes, Sir?"
"I have a big deal this afternoon, so cancel all my schedules!"
"Good, Sir."
Gibran reached into his personal mobile phone in his pants pocket. And instantly send a message to someone who has "important" business with him.
* * * * *
Rere wriggled as soon as the Indonesian teacher left the room, the other students were already busy tidying up their belongings, preparing to go home.
"Mell!"
Melisa. "Yes, why, Re?"
"Consider Via yuk!"
"Emmm-" Melisa thought for a moment, because she just got a message for lunch with Gibran! Even that man was on his way to the appointment location right now!
"You can't, can you?" guess Rere through Melisa's facial expression.
"You go first, yes. I'll be there!"
"When do you think you are?" ask Rere.
"Sore, maybe."
"It was late in the afternoon, just the same!"
"Okay, I'll pick you up!" said Melisa.
"Ready! Where are you going now?"
"There's important business! Haha...."
"Hmmm, isn't it important?"
Melisa nodded while smiling reassuring Rere.
"Yes, I hope the business is good! Then I go home first yak!"
"Just go to the parking lot!" whining Melisa.
"Yes, what a joke!" Rere watched Melisa who was now busy tidying up her books. What boy was that boy from earlier?
* * * * *
Gibran's smile expands instantly, when he sees Melisa walking up to him, the girl wears a black crop jacket with white sleeves, disguising that she is still in her school uniform!
Spontaneous Gibran stood up, then pulled the chair and invited Melisa to sit down.
"Yes jam?" ask Gibran.
Melisa opened her mask, put it on the table. "Lumayan the hell, I'm a long time ago? Sorry..."
Gibran smiled, "It's okay, anyway, it's not your fault, is it? No more talking, yeah."
"Emm, tumben is sure to meet at this hour. Is there anything important?"
"There are, a lot of them!"
"What?" ask Melisa seriously.
"First, I miss you, second, I want to see you, third. I want--" Gibran pinched Melisa's cheek quite hard. "Pinch your cheek. The point is I want to be with you!"
Melisa looked at Gibran as she stroked her cheek, "It hurts!"
"Isn't he? Try it here look!"
"No way, it'll be pinched again!"
"No, this is why!"
Melisa slightly advanced her body.
Cup.
The girl glared as Gibran peeked at her cheeks, the reflexes of her turning left and right, lucky that people were busy themselves with their food!
"Where did it hurt?"
Melisa pinched the back of Gibran's hand with a red hue on her cheek, it was obvious that the girl was embarrassed right now.
"Don't do that again... Shame to be seen by people!!"
"Emm, Mel, are you mad yak?" gibran asked because Melisa was throwing her face away, not looking at him.
"I'm ashamed....."
"Yes, I'm closing down so don't be ashamed!"
"Gibrans!" Melisa again pinched the back of Gibran's hand until the man grimaced in pain.
"Yes, my goodness, Melisa, my goodness!"
"A promise not to do that again?!"
"Hiks, yes, promise."
Gibran grimaced, regretting himself for what he did.
"Yes, what do you want to say?"
"First of all, I want to apologize, because this week I haven't had time to see your father, maybe next week after coming home from out of town, I'll go straight to your house, okay, okay, it's okay, right?"
"Emmm, yes, it's okay, if there's an obstacle. Second one, what?"
"After I met your father, would you like to see my mother too?"
"Your mom?"
"Yes, he really wants to see you. You want to, right?"
"Emm, I can."
"Seriously?"
"Yes, seriously, from the beginning I had no intention of joking."
Gibran was moved to hear Melisa's answer, and the man grabbed Melisa's hand. Grasping the girl's fingers on the table. "So my girlfriend yes, Mel!"
Melisa even smiled holding back laughter hearing Gibran's words. "What a hell of a date!"
"Well, I'm afraid you're confused about our relationship right now! So how? We're dating?!"
Melisa nodded slowly.
"Yes?" ask Gibran to make sure.
"Yes, you-" Melisa pointed at Gibran's left chest. "My girlfriend now!" strictly speaking Melisa, a Gibran belongs only to one.
"So can I call you baby?"
"What if I refuse, what do you want to call?"
"Yes, I'll call you baby! Ahhaha!"
"Basic! So I should call you baby too?" asked Melisa innocently.
"Call as you please Melisa!" gibran said with a smile. The man never forced Melisa, the point is that Melisa was comfortable and happy, that was enough for her, and it was Gibran's nature that Melisa liked.
"Emmm, did he say he was going out of town? When's departure?" melisa asked after returning the menu book to the restaurant waiter.
"Let's be on the twelfth, 1pm."
"When do we go home?"
"There are no obstacles, the seventeenth has come home! Why emang? Afraid of kangen, huh?"
"Yes, so confident, you!"
"Haha. If Kangen says it, don't be shy, yeah, honey!"
"No, I'm not the one who's gonna miss it first!"
"Yes yes. I've always missed you, honey.... Even this, yes. I always look at your photos every turn of the clock!"
"Hahaha, cook it?"
"Yes, don't you believe it?"
Gibran turned on his mobile phone, opening his gallery which is now filled with photos of Melisa.
"More. Just opened the gallery already too tired people!"
"Eh-" Melisa even embarrassed herself so.
"Where's this photo from?" ask Melisa while showing her picture with Livi.
"Yes from Livi. These are precious photos! You know why?"
"Emang why?"
"You know what?"
"Yes, please, tell me."
"Now yes." Gibran put his cell phone on the table. "In this photo, there are two people I love, one is my sister, and the other is my future!"
"Eakkk, the paper?" goda Gibran's. Melisa immediately beat her hand.
"Okay, continue, most importantly, I didn't get this photo for free!"
"meaning?"
"I'm gonna have to bribe Livi first so she can send me her picture!"
"Geez, so what's the money coming out?"
"Emmm, you don't need to know, you know enough, if you're valuable to me, so please, so myself, take care of your health, okay?"
"Okay, you too, take care of your health, get enough rest, don't forget to eat, I don't want you to get sick from soy sauce."
"Ready, Honey!" gibran said as he stroked Melisa's head.
* * * *
After finishing lunch together and satisfied chatting, they finally decided to go home, of course after Gibran paid all the bills at the cashier.
"Be careful on the road."
Gibran smiled and nodded slowly.
"Darling!" call Gibran when Melisa opens the door.
Melisa turned to Gibran. "Yes, why?"
"No, ngetes call!" sahut Gibran with a sinless face. Melisa hurriedly got into the car to hide her red face. Some parts of Gibran there-anything, could-can ngetes a call in the parking lot!
Gibran threw a smile as Mr. Tio stared at him. Not feeling threatened and scared like before. Although Mr. Tio's facial expression did not change, it was still flat with sharp eyes.
"Huh, it's much more relieved now!"
Inner Gibran. Not felt, he and Melisa spent more than an hour but felt so short, which made Gibran want to continue together and together again with Melisa for the future.
