...Chapter 28 | Not Regular Baby Sugar (BSBB)...
"Hi" said Hansel as I opened the door and exited the hotel room. Smile expands.
He wears a dark grey short-sleeved shirt and black trousers. While I wear a salem blouse and gray 7/8 trousers.
At first glance, the man's arms look notched athletic. Although not bulky muscular, but it is enough. Sexy enough to make the women can not bear to want to wrestle spoiled on his arm.
"Hi too" I said. It was like dating. It is different from meeting the men already.
"Where's the wound?" ask Mr. Hansel. He drew closer to look closely, the wound I had attached with this transparent plaster. "Ease quickly healed, yes," he said still looking at my forehead.
I still can't manage my feelings when I remember last night. I remind myself again that last night I accidentally expressed my feelings for her. But, I also didn't expect that he would retaliate by saying love to me even kissing my cheek.
That means he has the same feeling, right? Or was it just a dream last night? I put my palms on both cheeks. As if I couldn't believe that I could be that strong.
We entered the elevator and got off on the parking floor. Walking for a while, we saw the vehicle parked neatly. That's the car I didn't expect would make me ride in it several times. Black car with vanilla scent perfume which is now my favorite fragrance too. The car that became a silent witness first I fell in love with the owner.
"Where are we going, sir?" ask me after we sat comfortably in the car and Mr. Hansel drove in the steering chair.
"Breakfast. What do you want for breakfast?"
I'm thinking. "Again the Mekdi..."
"Okay, get to Mekdi...."
I've noticed. The arm is sturdy and well established in driving a car. Looking at his face from the side, that tall nose look added to his perfection in my eyes.
"Why?" tanya realized I was watching her and turned to look at me with a smile. I looked away and shook my eyes.
What is our relationship now? After expressing each other's feelings, then are we still lecturers-students? Or has the status changed to personal? Why did his face look more handsome than usual today? Bright and fresh. The ends of his hair still look wet, making me guess what brand of shampoo he wears because the smell smells so breezy so fresh.
"Where's the hotel? Comfortable?" asked Mr. Hansel to open the conversation.
"Quite comfortable, just can't sleep."
"Oh yeah? Why?"
Do I need to answer 'cause I thought about him all night?? "I don't know why either. Maybe it's because it's not sleeping at home."
"Ooh, I guess..." Mr. Hansel stopped continuing his words. But, we both know exactly which way he meant it. He rubbed his neck and I smiled shyly. We both became misbehaved remembering the moment last night.
Once we arrived, we ordered a breakfast menu and took our seats. Mr. Hansel brought a Mekdi tray with our order. Yesterday I wasted a lot of energy. All right, I think this food will taste really good.
"So, all the preparations are done. The day after tomorrow, Rio and Rara's wedding. The show is not massive, just inviting family. Yeah, it's just info, you should know, right?" tanyanya while starting to chew Sausage Wrap which is similar in shape to kebabs.
"Yes. I've been told Rara about this. I also have a wedding for them. Hehe," I said pinch the burger bread so that the little piece could get into my mouth.
"Oh yeah? It's so attention."
"After they get married, you may feel lonely at first. Don't you have any friends besides Rara?"
"Yes, the only one Rara is familiar with. There was one more campus meeting first, but now it's not a friend anymore, I guess," I said remembering Celine.
"Well, what is it?"
"Em, I don't know. Maybe I made a mistake I never realized. So, want to apologize even confused, because do not know the reason for being angry and stay away from it what."
"Ask it directly. I hope there's a chance to fix things."
I pensively and smiled. "Yes, I hope."
Well, the three of us used to be friends. Me, Rara, and Celine. But, no matter when, Celine stayed away from me. At that time, I heard he spent the night with a lecturer at the campus and had become news splash. After the incident, he was asked out by the campus to save the name of the campus. Until now, we had no idea who the lecturer who cleared his name from the disgrace. All we know is that the name Celine who became the scapegoat for the actual deeds must be borne by both parties.
Mr. Hansel chewed on a piece of Hash Brown, a chopped potato cut that was shaped like a nugget and fried crispy. I love watching him while eating. He seemed to be enjoying the food in front of him, making anyone who saw must have a taste for food at once.
When he realized I was watching, he lowered the speed of his jaw chewing the food and seemed to blush. "I'm sorry if I eat like this. Rather embarrassing indeed," he said wiping the corners of the lips slowly.
Who said shameful? It's annoying, yes. "Not shy. Looks tasteful. Yes, it means Mr. Hansel's appetite is good. That's why it's high, you can eat anything."
"really. Ever since I was a child, I always said that I had no trouble eating. Because whatever is offered, must be eaten. What's masakin, it's gonna run out."
"His son, if the child does not choose this food. So want to have a—" Shit, I'm flabbergasted. Spontaneously I shut my mouth.
Hansel laughed and drank his lemon tea. "Oh yes, yesterday I want to invite you to choose clothes for the wedding of Rio. You see, there is still one quota of clothes in the wedding package that has not been used. That's why I went to your house."
"Oh yeah?" So that means Mr. Hansel came to the house. I thought I'd take a walk or eat.
"Yes. But, once I knew you were with that Om, I had time to go again. My gut feeling is not good. I turned the car around, and it turned out to be true. That person did something bad to you. Sorry, why not sooner. If I had gone down that day, your head wouldn't have hurt."
"It's okay, really. The wound is not too big. Just because of the sharp corner of the table, it becomes bloody," I said pointing at the forehead.
"Yes, thank goodness. May it heal soon." Mr. Hansel stopped eating. He put the remaining quarter-piece potato nugget in the tray. "I can ask you something, right?"
I know where this question is going. Maybe he wanted to ask me about my relationship with Om Rizal. Well, if Mr. Hansel wants to know, I'll tell you the truth. I don't want to cover anything up. So, if she undoes the intention to cultivate more affection towards me, it will not leave too much pain for both of us.
"Yes? What do you want to ask?"
