DEVANYE. STILL LOVING YOU
Axel part 7's
"From today, there are new people who will come to work with you. Her name's. uhukk... Axels. If you want to know him, you can continue later during the break or leisure hours!" said the manager of the cafe slightly quivered as he spoke in front of his men. A cold sweat drenched his forehead, knowing exactly who was standing between them.
"Lola! Please teach today, and tell the new person what to do!" a senior worker nodded obediently.
"A-Axel, for today... You should follow this senior in front of you. If there's anything you don't know, just ask him!" said nervous. Always had his tongue twisted, because he was not used to calling the big boss by his name.
"Okay, manager!" Axel nodded vigorously, he raised the lensless glasses that sagged back into place.
The officers dispersed from there. And immediately do their respective duties.
Axel never interfere with work outside the company, therefore the employees do not know that Axel is the owner of their workplace, except the manager of course. All they know is that Gio is the owner of the cafe.
"You. Please wipe all the tables here, yeah. After that take the mop in the back and mop all the floors of this room." A woman named Lola gave orders to Axel. Axel received a clean lap given by Lola.
"More. You're a glass rag yes. Let's just mop up this time and wipe the new kid's desk!" this time giving orders to Renata.
Renata nodded then went to the back to pick up the equipment.
"That, you follow Renata get the equipment." point it at Renata.
"Good, mom!" axel said and immediately followed Renata from behind.
Axel's chest thumped as he looked at Renata's back. The little girl kept walking, not knowing that Axel was following her.
Renata opened the door, in the small room there were several cleaning tools needed. Before long Renata came back out with a broom, bucket, mop wipe, and also a cloth for the table. And also glass cleaning tools.
"sorry. The mother said I should help you!" said Axel, Renata was silent he then handed some cleaning tools to Axel.
"Okay, take this. Can you help me, right?" renata asked, she handed him the bucket and mop.
"Eh yes!" They then returned to the front together, there was a sense of happiness and pounding in Axel's chest when he was with Renata.
Axel started cleaning the table. Although he never did, but he was quite proficient because he often saw maids work wiping tables and so on.
'Just wiping the table is that hard? Even babies can!' inner Axel.
He started wiping the table, all its surfaces. Until he was sure there was no dust stuck there.
His hands worked while the tip of his eyes noticed Renata cleaning the glass not far from him. The movement of the girl who was cleaning the glass looked sexy in her eyes.
"Xel, when are you going to clean that one table? Moving there. We'll be open soon!" sweat Lola, make Axel aware.
"Yes mbak. Sorry!" axel's smile was clumsy.
Yeah, he just cleaned that one table. He moved to another table.
It looks like Renata is smiling to see Axel who got scolded by Lola. Kak Lola is famous for taking care of it when it comes to work.
The day is getting noon. The state of the cafe is quite crowded, especially now close to the time of rest. Usually there are some college children or employees will stop by here even not infrequently some entrepreneurs will also come here.
"Xel, please deliver this food to table number twelve!" kak Lola gave instructions while shifting the tray containing food and drinks.
"Good brother!" axel said he welcomed the tray.
'It's only been a day, Xel. Must spirit!' his murmuring in heart gave vigor to himself.
"Please, sir. The dishes have arrived!" said Axel kindly while keeping the food on the table.
"Thank you!" Axel glanced bitterly as the man glanced at him while holding back a laugh.
"Why are you laughing sir? Is something wrong?"
"none. I came here because I was worried about you. Worry that you are not strong and faint!"
"You think I'm a weak man?"
"Oh no! No, I'm just making sure. You never jump into a job like this. And I salute you, if you can hold on till you get home!" Axel snorts sprain. It means humiliation!
"Just look. Arrive at home don't expect you'll be safe, Mr Gio!"
"If you still have the energy to do it, I'll be happy! I'll wait!" his challenge.
Axel left from there with a feeling of annoyance, while Gio laughed in satisfaction. When else could he do that to his boss?!
...***...
Axel lay in his room, his hands and feet cramping as he could not move. He's so tired.
"How can he work like this? It's so exhausting!" his weakness. He imagined that Renata would also have pain in her hands and feet like this, especially if she was a woman living alone and no one took care of her.
"Is there still energy to argue?" someone's voice sounded from the direction of the door. Axel looked at Gio who was leaning there lazily.
"Go! Don't bother me!" banish him. Gio laughed softly then moved closer towards Axel, sitting beside the young man.
"I salute! an Axel could do something like this for a woman!"
"of course! Falling in love can be so bad, right? I just found out, if it turns out we can do something beyond reason to get it!"
"Yes. That's so! Love is indeed confusing to make someone change in a matter of seconds."
"Heem, and it's very disturbing that I didn't get him. You saw him, didn't you? She's normal, but I think she's sweet. I don't know why I want to be so close to him. It felt like this heart was beating very fast at the sight of him, and then this brain ordered my legs and hands to keep on walking towards him. Gio. Do you think I'm crazy? I want strangers to be my life partner!" Axel held his own chest, even though just imagining it his chest lying very quickly felt by his hands.
"No. Not crazy! That's natural. Humans are destined to be like that, right?" gio said softly, his heart felt pinched with his own words. He looked at Axel's happy-looking face.
"Yes, I came here to argue, but seeing you weak like this, can't bear it! Hehe..." Gio patted Axel's sore thigh until the young man cried out in pain.
"Gio, fuck you!" his screeches. Gio only raised his two fingers to form the letter V, then immediately left Axel.
Gio walked towards his room. He opened his suit and his tie threw him on the bed. He opened the balcony door of his room and looked at the darkened afternoon sky. A cigarette is released and then replace the fire at the end of the cigarette. Suck it up, then blow the white smoke into the air.
A girl's shadow is created on the smoke she gives off. His smile was also sweet, no less sweet with the girl Axel was after.
Back to remembering, whether it's his gift or his stupidity that makes his heart now like a stone.
Gio had also felt love. He even thought that he would grow old and die along with his love. But in reality, the girl went with someone else. Left her and chose to marry a man who was more. You matre girl!
He should have just said that he was the assistant CEO of R. A group. But he didn't, Gio just wanted a sincere person to love him.
