Eps 18 - Like Dating a CEO
"Firda.." call her and the human being she calls looks up.
Firda's eyes immediately glared perfectly at Gabriel. Even he was about to feed ice cream into his mouth was not so. Until the spoon just stopped in front of his mouth.
"Of Gabriel...."
"Om, wow I thought I could see you again" said Firda who looks happy to see Gabriel. But this time he saw Gabriel in his formal appearance, very different from the appearance when in the village "Om handsome, not like Om Om" cried Firda as it is that makes Gabriel chuckle. He pulled out a chair and sat down in front of Firda.
"My age is still 28, it's the age of Om Om?" gabriel and Firda asked.
"That's it, too, but why did Firda call her Om?" he asked himself and it was ridiculous for Gabriel.
"Come" replied Gabriel.
"Om uh Gabriel.. Uh, Sis. Brother Gabriel wants ice cream" Firda bargained who felt Om's call was too old for Gabriel's age, Gabriel again laughed amusedly and nodded.
"Hem, Firda expected. Om would want to, never want to" he said again to make Gabriel chuckle.
Gabriel calls the waiter and orders the same ice cream as Firda's.
After that, the two ate ice cream together.
"Where do you work?" ask Firda who's still enjoying the ice cream.
"There, let's visit my office" Gabriel and Firda shook their heads.
"Things will be allowed to be with Ummi, this is just Firda hiding out of the house"
"What are you doing here? And where do you live?"
"We stayed with our aunt, and her cousin Firda wanted a wedding, so Firda came here"
"When's the party? You're an old problem here, Fir? I can take you on the road" Gabriel asked with great enthusiasm.
"The party's over last night, we're home at most in two days"
"So fast?" peeking Gabriel and Firda nodded.
"Well, how about we walk for two days?"
"That's it, Om. Thanks though. Because Firda has been invited to walk with Firda's cousin"
Hearing Firda's reply, Gabriel looked disappointed and sad. And seeing that, of course, Firda is not hearty.
"Yes already, now the way his way" invited Firda who immediately made the look of Gabriel's face back cheerful and a wide smile expands on his lips.
"Come.." invite Gabriel enthusiastically while standing from his chair.
"Om very happy, already kayak on a date with his girlfriend alone" grumbled Firda who again made Gabriel laugh amusedly.
Gabriel called the waiter and paid for the ice cream "Thank you Om, it's on the deal. Firda money is safe" said Firda happy.
"The same.." replied Gabriel.
"Oh yeah, don't you know what Firda still calls Om? I think it's better to call it" Firda said as he followed Gabriel to Gabriel's car.
"It's okay, Firda" Gabriel replied.
"Om you got a girlfriend yet?"
"Eh??" Firda immediately laughed at Gabriel's expression "Not yet, I'm busy working so there's no time to find a girlfriend"
"Alhamdulillah... If so, keep busy, Om. Because courting is a sin" Gabriel nodded in understanding.
Then Gabriel's faithful driver waited to open the door when Gabriel came.
"Please come in, Fir.." exclaimed Gabriel and Firda looked at Gabriel in disbelief. Because Gabriel told her to get into a car that looked very classy and luxurious.
"The car Om?" ask Firda and not her go straight in. Gabriel smiled and nodded.
Firda who was carrying his cat entered and when Gabriel was about to enter, Firda instead prevented his "Eitz... Wait" he exclaimed.
"Why?" ask Gabriel astonished.
"Em Firda is female, so just behind, alone. Om male, so just in front, same male as well" Firda said as she looked at Gabriel and his driver alternately.
The driver who heard Firda's words was shocked, since when was a Gabriel Emerson in command? He was told to sit side by side with the driver.
"Alright." said Gabriel and he sat in the front seat, making the driver look more awkward.
One of the bodyguards called John to report what had happened.
"Girl?" ask John across the phone.
"Yes, a teenage girl, dressed up. I mean, I'm wearing a long blue dress and a hijab"
"It was like a little girl from the village. Follow them but don't get too close, don't attract the girl" John said.
"Okay, sir" the bodyguard replied firmly.
While in the car, Gabriel and Firda chatted with great excitement. Of course Firda makes it exciting because he does not stop talking, talking about his pesantren, his new friends, the wedding of his cousin and others.
And strangely enough, Gabriel was always smiling and laughing. Which makes the driver even confused and feel there is something wrong with his master.
Silent, he sends a message to John and informs Gabriel of his stranger-like condition.
Gabriel's cell phone rang, and he rejected it, ringing again "Maybe important, Om" Firda and Gabriel answered John's call.
"Sir, are you with that little girl from the village?" ask John.
"Hem" replied Gabriel.
"Said Rose, you canceled all your schedules today. Where are you going?"
"Road, it's a long time ago" replied Gabriel and he immediately disconnected his phone.
"Where are we going, Om?" ask Firda because when he looked out, he was already on the road that he did not recognize and it made him afraid and worried "Om, do not kidnap Firda huh. Where's this?" firda exclaimed still staring at the street outside. Hearing that Gabriel chuckled amusedly.
"Of course I won't kidnap you, Fir. We'll drive around Jakarta, stop by the mall, or wherever you want"
"Go eat, shall you? Firda was hungry" Firda and Gabriel nodded.
"Not far from here there is a French restaurant, you must love the food there"
"May it be halal, is it food, Om?" Gabriel laughed again and nodded.
"Realh..."
They also stopped at the French restaurant that Gabriel meant, and Firda was so amazed when he entered the very luxurious restaurant.
"Good day, Mr. Emerson. Have you made a reservation?" asked a servant very politely and like him he already knew Gabriel very well.
"Not yet, take us to the VVIP room and serve the best menu for two" Gabriel said, nodding. He led Gabriel and Firda into a special room surrounded by glass and behind it like water was flowing, right by the window, there was an elongated sofa and a table. The servant allowed Firda and Gabriel to sit down.
"Your order will be ready soon, Mr. Emerson" he said and Gabriel nodded.
Firda whined in the room "Wow, it's like a romantic date between the CEO and his lover" murmured Firda who was still heard by Gabriel, and Gabriel did not know what to respond to other than a amused smile.
"Om already subscribed here yes, until the person knows the name Om"
"Yes" Gabriel replied briefly "You like this place?"
"Like" Firda replied as she stroked her cat.
Soon three servants arrived, two serving the food very politely and one just directing.
The waiter served a drink in front of Gabriel and Firda, a glass filled with red liquid and Firda stared at the contents of the glass in a fixed manner.
"What juice is this? Why is the color like this?" firda asked while taking the glass and was about to take a sip but Gabriel immediately prevented him and took the glass.
"No wine.." cried Gabriel to the butler and the waiter immediately took the anxiety "Only ordinary juice drinks. Firda wants what drink?" ask Gabriel.
"Who was wine?" asked Firda and Gabriel nodded softly "Firda wants a fresh and cold drink, and yang.." he looked at Gabriel with a slightly grimacing look.
"Yg what, Fir? Just tell me"
"It's halal" said Firda and the waiter immediately gave a smile and nodded in understanding.
"We'll prepare our best drink, miss. Halal, of course"
"Thank you, please don't be offended" Firda said sincerely, making the servants also smile sincerely.
"Not at all"
"When waiting for a new drink, we enjoy this meal" exclaimed Gabriel and Firda nodded enthusiastically. Because seeing the menu in front of her is really appetizing.
Firda ate voraciously, sometimes he commented it was delicious, sometimes he commented it was strange but still in the eating. It made Gabriel laugh but he was happy to see Firda looking happy.
