DEVANYE. STILL LOVING YOU
Axel part 11

Time showed almost ten o'clock in the afternoon, the awaited had not yet come, making Axel annoyed at the feeling of emptiness in his heart.

Three weeks already he worked in this cafe, from morning to afternoon can be free to glance at Renata, pay attention to him quietly, even it seems Renata does not know that Axel often smiles because of him.

Axel asked Darius, in case Renata called him and told him why the girl had not come to work.

"No one, sir!" whispered Darius.

"Didn't you understand too? I'm not just asking! But you also have to understand what I mean!" furious Axel, because this man is not like Gio who is quick to respond to his intentions. Wanting him to yell at this man, was already upset, but he also realized he was just an ordinary employee at the moment! Darius' subordinate. Huhh.... The basis of love makes a boss willing to become an ordinary employee!

"good. Signore. Forgive me!" still in whispers. However, it was clear from his tone that this man was frightened!

Darius contacted Renata for a while, then returned to Axel after getting an answer and closed the phone.

"That's.... Signore. Renata is not feeling well!" whispered Darius.

"Then how is he?" ask Axel worried.

"Yes, from his voice it's okay, maybe just aching and just need a light rest." looked down when Axel's gaze turned creepy.

"From tomorrow, don't give him a hard job! If you can't let him do anything! Understand!!" snapped Axel is still slow, do not want to make a scene if it turns out an employee turned to yell at the manager.

"L-yes, sir." replied Darius fearfully.

Axel left there, before some employees realized his manager's fears.

Working all day without Renata. Shitty right? Ah, no! Even Axel was not eager to work without the girl present!

The clock is twelve o'clock in the afternoon. Axel couldn't stand it, he remembered Renata. Is he lying down? Is he sleeping? Has he eaten? Have you taken medication? All of that was milling since earlier when he heard the reason Renata did not enter work.

He came to Darius' office with his broad steps.

Darius, who saw his big boss coming to him, immediately kept his phone on the table and got up from his comfortable position. Stand up straight but with your head bowed respectfully.

"Rather than you just keep quiet, better replace me downstairs! I don't pay you to just shut up and relax here!"

"Good, Master!" The sweat on his forehead came out instantly. He did not even dare to breathe because the burning atmosphere in this room made the oxygen feel thin. Axel Felix Aditama Rudolf, a boss with a kind and friendly nature suddenly turned fierce, gluttonous, and creepy. Looks like he knows what happened to this boss of his. Renate! Love makes a person change!

Ten minutes of waiting. Gio came by his car. Axel looked around, making sure no one saw him enter his luxury car.

Gio knew for sure with a gloomy face like a day full of cloudy during the day.

"Why?" ask Gio.

"Renata's not coming in today!"

"illness?"

"Hem."

"I want to get to his place. Take me there. And don't forget to stop by the pharmacy and the florist!" Gio scrunched his forehead.

The florist? Really Axel is smart with the thing of chasing women.

The car stopped at a flower shop not far from there. Axel and Gio went inside.

Axel chose a large bunch of white roses for him to buy. "I bought this one!" keep the flowers in front of a woman.

Gio approached and pulled up Axel's sleeve. "Xel, don't you think Renata would suspect that you're buying a big bundle?" whisky Gio.

"meaning?"

"He knows you're kere, if you bring a big bunch of flowers, won't he ask a lot?" Axel was stunned, staring at the flower.

'True as well!' Axel said in his heart. 'But I bought only one stalk?'

...***...

Renata opened the window of her room and looked at the still-bright blue sky. He was stunned himself, imagining something happening lately made his head dizzy.

Of course dizzy! What should he do to get rid of those bandits?

Ahhhhhhhhhh....

Renata rubbed her head, squeezing her hair. His brain is really hot. Can't think anymore. Escape is only a temporary path. In fact, they can find again and again.

Huhhh....

Breathe again, and again...

What am I supposed to do?

Tok.shock.

The sound of a knock on the door made him re-interested in reality. Instantly the shadows of his past go to hide somewhere which in time will return to show themselves to him.

"Yes, one minute!" Renata took his jacket and pulled the zipper to the chest. I don't know who was behind that door, but he was sure the one who came was the one who wanted to see him. Hehe... The feeling!

Gotcha!!!

Renata was stunned, his mouth opened unexpectedly with the one who stood towering in front of the door.

The tall strapping body was extremely dazzling, let alone its glittering smile, beautifully beating the morning sunlight that warmed his day. Highlight his eyes that were blocked by box-shaped glasses. However, it does not hinder the gaze of the man who is always soothing when the heart feels depressed. Oh, don't forget the white rose she carried in front of her chest right now.

"For you!" the fragrance from the white rose was oozing out when Renata received it. Fragrant...

"A-Axel?!" said, more disbelief if the one who came here was this man. The man who somehow felt so very close even though he had only known him for about three weeks.

'I'm glad I'm home!' inner Renata.

"Why are you here?" renata asked, between confused, happy, and also awkward.

"I'm afraid you're not going to work, so I'm also authorized. Hehe..." Axel scratched the back of his neck that did not itch at all. He raised his hand and stuck it on Renata's forehead. Renata was shocked. Not expecting Axel's sudden treatment.

"Not hot!" Then then put both palms cupped on both cheeks Renata. Moving Renata's head to the right and to the left, "Not pale!" making Renata hold his breath because Axel's breath was very close to his face.

"Ih... What the hell are you!" hold Axel's hand. His chest beat rapidly until Renata cursed him for fear of being heard by Axel. Don't let his face turn red which resulted in Axel bully him.

"You still sick?" ask Axel. Renata smiles.

"Lumayan is a bit delicious! Coming in!" step aside and make way for Axel.

Axel stared at the small room with the size of nothing. There were only two small rooms, one where he was, while the other he believed was Renata's room.

"Sorry, tight!" Knowing the meaning of Axel's view, Renata took the blanket and pillow he had been wearing lying down for most of the day.

"No pa-pa, really. Just like my room!" Renata went into her room, kept the pillow and blanket, and returned to Axel's presence.

"Sit down, Xel."

Axel sat on the floor with a fur carpet that was no longer soft. And Renata did the same.

Turns out Renata lived like this?

Axel's heart was sore. Like there is a sense of wanting to bring the girl to a comfortable and warm place.

"I brought food and medicine." Axel handed two white crackle packs to Renata.

A day of work without Renata made him feel not excited at all. He misses his smile, he misses his voice, he misses everything that is on him. Although tired, there is no harm in relieving his fatigue this moment here.

I'm sorry Gio. Just wait a minute there.

Feeling guilty for his best friend waiting by the side of the road. Hopefully the car is not transported by satpol pp because of parking carelessly.

Renata's eyes were rounded looking at the mouth-watering food before his eyes. Processed lobster looks delicious, fragrant, tempting tastes. But then he closed the food back. Know for sure with the price of the food, it must not be cheap. Renata stared at Axel.

"You don't have to buy this expensive food for me Xel, you say you want to spend money to buy a motorbike!" Renata looked at Axel who was sitting down unwilling to shut up. His gaze was full of signs of protest, unwilling to accept.

"That's... um... I-I got a discount!" Axel rubbed the nape of his neck that was suddenly strained. It might be true what Gio said, he shouldn't have bought such food for Renata. But when did he buy food carelessly for the girl in his tribe?

"Are there foods like this discount?" inquiringly.

"That.. anu... my friend is an online driver, he often gets orders and it... I can get free from him! Coupons. Hehe..."

Upsss.... lied to be so!

"really? You didn't buy your money?" Renata kept staring at Axel.

"I only got thirty thousand. Make him replace his gasoline," he added again. The more lies he tells.

Hahhh..Let my own sins be borne!

...***...

While Axel was busy approaching his bluff, in contrast to a man who just sat in the car, and continued to stare at his watch. He grunted annoyedly. The reason is almost an hour Axel left, but he said just fifteen minutes!

"Ckckk. Exorbitant! She's the one who's in love, why am I the one who's languishing?"
