Eve never expected that she would be able to return to the apartment. A comfortable place that only he could always miss.
Tiger had already left, and told Eve that everything she needed was ready, the fridge was full.
"If you need anything, please contact me" Tiger said before leaving while handing over a business card.
Now, Eve sat at the dinner table, with an apple in her hand, enjoying the fruit while looking out the window the view out there looked so beautiful as it faced directly into the garden of the apartment.
Eve could not wait three more days as Tiger said, Adam would arrive in Indonesia three days after today, and now for the sake of welcoming him, Eve wants to contact Tiger and say her intention to be escorted to the salon but Eve also feels worried afraid Tiger feels himself big head so dare to rule the man.
Eve did not know where she should go, and anyway even if she went later, she would have forgotten the way home.
Tired of her loneliness, Eve ventured out of the apartment and went down to the first floor. While talking with two residents of the apartment who were taking her child for a walk to the park, Hawa knew that in the apartment was also equipped with a salon and also a special minimarket just by going down take the elevator and they will get there.
"New occupants huh?" ask one of the young mothers who was bringing their children to play in the park.
"Actually I am a guest, Ma'am," replied Eve after a long thought. She couldn't possibly say that she was a prostitute hired by Adam for the next few days, right? So in order to cover up her disgrace, Eve chose to say that she was a guest.
"What apartment is the number?" ask the other one more and more want to know.
"1708, Ma'am," he replied briefly, he hoped that the question would reach there lest they ask even know Adam to know that he lives with the man.
"1708? that's not the place for Mr Adam Mahesa?" ask the first woman to say hello to Eve.
"Yes there." Eve could only nod weakly, it turned out that everyone most likely knew Adam in this place.
"Do you know what, ma'am?" asked the woman again her curiosity made her get closer to Eve.
Confused to answer what, Eve who saw two teenagers who joined each other so compact and look similar made her decide to say that she was Adam's sister.
"I'm his brother Mas Adam" he replied stiffly.
"Oh brother. Just arrived, Mommy? where have you been all this time?" follow the other woman. It seems they are indeed mothers who like to know people's affairs so they continue to criticize Eve with questions that are difficult for her.
"I'm actually his cousin's sister, Ma'am. I came from out of town, just lived in Jakarta."
What the two women said was true. So stupid he had to trouble Tiger to complete the contents of his kitchen and also his needs, he could shop by himself. If it was just food, he had the money to buy it.
"Welcome, there's something we can help you with, ma'am," the salon waiter asked in a friendly manner.
"I want to do some treatment, Ma'am and please trim my hair. Anyway I want to look more beautiful," said Eve timidly, her white cheeks seemed to meet red because they did not care about her own words.
"Good, Ma'am. Can I borrow his ID card? If you don't mind we will make a member here, Ma'am," he bargained later.
Eve opened her wallet and pulled out her identification card. As the woman scowled, her forehead creased as she read Eve's birthplace and date, and she did not even know where Eve's village was. However, working with a professional, she registered Eve and entered her name as a new member.
"Sorry, Ma'am, here for the process of processing Ma'am has to deposit first of two million rupiah, then we can start the treatment," explained the woman. Every Eve spoke so fascinated to see the row of teeth of the woman who was so white and neat.
Eve nodded, she handed her atm card and to pay by debit. After the payment was completed Eve was led to change her clothes. All the series of treatments that he followed so happily, he felt relaxed even though sometimes there was in one part of his body that was sick when it was done by two salon employees, he said, on his eyebrows and also the fine hairs around his face cleaned up to make his face more slim.
It turned out that the salon was equipped with a beauty clinic, they offered her beauty treatments but she had to increase her deposit by five million at the beginning. Eve considered rejecting their offer, but imagining Adam seeing her would be blown away made Eve finally tempted to try the treatment.
Starting from noon Eve was already in the salon, but until the afternoon the treatment was finished. Eve's long, shoulder-cut hair looks so beautiful and sparkles, and what makes Eve pangling most is seeing her own face that is so smooth and her cheeks feel chewy.
Price never lies, he can see and feel how his skin feels fresh and clean. His eyebrows that have been growing wild are now neatly arranged as well as his lips that look more pink than before
"Thank you Ma'am, we are waiting for her return" the receptionist greeted Eve on her return.
He was already impatient when tomorrow Adam came and saw it already seemed to change. Imagining that the man would praise her new appearance, Eve could only smile at the thought. It was as if she was Adam's wife making changes to please her husband.
Eve thought Adam would arrive no later than noon, but until nightfall, the man did not return home. It seemed that he might have preferred to return home to his parents after making a long trip.
The girl can only resign, she changes her clothes with a shirt and shorts, there is no point in wearing lingerie, if the man of her dreams does not come home.
Staring at the clothes she was currently wearing in the mirror, Eve had until recently wondered, how could the Tiger that provided all those clothes know its size? the clothes were so fitting on her body, even her chosen underwear also looked very beautiful as if she knew the tastes of the women.
The fourth day Eve occupied the apartment, Adam never came. He had already resigned, it was up to the man when he would come, so for the sake of killing his sense of boredom, he said, Eve did what she loved to do: go into the library and immerse herself in the various books she chose to read.
Tired of reading, Eve fell asleep on a soft sofa with her right leg dangling to the floor, without her knowing the tall figure, the handsome man he had longed for was standing before him and was smiling at him.
