False Love Becomes Real
9. Pamite

That night, Renesmee followed her parents' request. He wanted to stay in a 5-star hotel. And there he met Leo, his youngest brother. Which turns out Leo's height has rivaled Renesmee's height. Luckily his sister had a warm and polite attitude, so Renesmee felt very welcome.

As for Henry, the man had gone home first since Renesmee had a one-on-one conversation with Vivi while they were still in the rented house.

Renesmee also just bring some clothes, bags, and one sports shoe. That's all he brought, the others he left behind in the rented house. After all, tomorrow he still has all day to enjoy the city of Surabaya.

Next day.

At half-nine in the morning, Renesmee had just escorted her family to the airport. Then he was escorted by a driver and a special car to go to the cafe where he worked.

And apparently, in the cafe, everyone he wanted to meet had gathered there. There are worried, anxious faces, even Alice to the point of crying. But Alice managed to calm down thanks to drinking ginger lemonade made by Bu Nurmala, the owner of the cafe.

As soon as Renesmee's legs officially entered the cafe, she immediately got a tight hug from Alice. Joshua who wanted to hug first of course lost to Alice's faster movement. The man was only silent and exhaled clearly while continuing to look at Renesmee who was still tightly hugged by Alice.

“Crazy!!! I'm really worried about you!! Hiks, I can't even sleep and keep terrorizing Evan and Jojo. Where have you been???!! Hiks, jesus!!” Alice's words are less clear but can be understood by anyone, the woman spoke while continuing to sob.

Renesmee patted her best friend's back. Then he lifted his arms and saw Alice rubbing his eyes. “Hey, I'm fine kok.”

“Explain directly!!!” Pinta Alice firmly.

“Sit first, Nessie.” Nurmala. Evan and Joshua nodded immediately. Today the cafe is quiet and there are only them, the other employees are dedicated today only.

Renesmee sat down, as did Alice. The girl smiled at Nurmala. “I've known everything, Mom. Thank you so far for receiving me well.” Keep it polite. There was no sense of disappointment in him, even though he actually felt cheated.

Nurmala sighed softly. “I'm sorry yes, all this time I was like a film actor in front of you. I respect Mr. Radityo's request, and I do admire you Nessie. Your performance is really good, you are active, and you always get all the work done well. My pride in you is not something I play in front of you. I'm really proud of you.”

“T-wait.. i-this is exactly why the hell?” Alice asked who dared to interrupt. He stared confusedly at Joshua, Evan, especially Nurmala.

Evan smiled slightly. “Alice from yesterday like this, Nessie. So we let him know nothing. Moreover, since then he continued to talk non-stop and did not realize that the cafe was being closed one day. We also already know everything about what happened to you, Ms. Nurmala explained.”

“Ah, so yes hehehe.” Renesmee. Then he looked at Alice. “Alice, who brought me was my own parents. They came here and told me to go home. And I was able to work here apparently thanks to my father's request to Bu Nurmala. The point is so.” It was clearly brief with a calm disposition.

“J-so... You're going back to Jakarta?”

“Ya, want to not want.”

Hearing that answer made Alice's gaze immediately look so sweet. “Then you won't be here again?” Ask nervously.

“I don't know. To be sure, something big is happening. I had two choices from my parents. And I can't tell you that. Maybe it's just Alice, but I can't tell you right now. I myself also need time to think between those two options.” Renesmee.

Everyone looked at Renesmee with sympathetic looks. Especially Joshua, he was the one who felt the most loss. Because all this time, he had secretly harbored a special feeling for Renesmee that he could not even express until now.

Alice stopped sobbing. He tries to be more mature and not whiny. Because after all his best friend also has his own business and life.

Seeing Alice silent, Renesmee also knew that her best friend was no longer able to speak. He looked at them all in turn.

“I want to say goodbye. I have to fly to Jakarta this afternoon. To Evan and Joshua, thank you all for being so kind to me. I'm really grateful to you a lot. Without a co-worker like you, I might be more fragile and lackluster. Say hello and thank you to Sherly, I think tomorrow she is healthy and back to work. Tell her that she is now the only female employee in the cafe, hahaha. Ah, there are still two women who work as chefs.” Said Renesmee with two teary eyes.

And of course after Renesmee spoke, Evan and Joshua also spoke in turns. Words of pearl and sad atmosphere as a sign of separation was very felt not playing.

The one thing that made Renesmee cry the most was receiving her last salary from Nurmala. A sum of money given with a white envelope. And as usual, Renesmee's name is written on the surface of the envelope in the upper left corner.

Salary from the cafe is what finally makes Renesmee can really appreciate the money and the name of hard work. From her experience working in a cafe it was her mentality to be strong and succeed in becoming an independent woman by financing and buying anything using her own hard work.

Although behind it all turns out his father plays a role in giving orders to Nurmala, but Renesmee considers all that has passed and he feels bitter sweetness trying alone.

“APAAA??!! HENRY SEBASTIAN'S? HOW CAN???!!” Alice screeched after Renesmee explained what happened yesterday and only mentioned Henry's name at the end of her explanation.

Renesmee immediately told Alice everything, because now they have left the cafe and are now in the car to go to campus. He took Alice with him.

Renesmee was just a small grimace holding back from Alice's cry that made her eardrums tremble. “Plan-slow!” Reprovedly.

“Seriously? Henry Sebastian whose picture I used to watch on social media? That Henry Sebastian?”

“Ish, yes. If you don't believe me, you can come with me to Jakarta. Most likely Henry will be there.”

Alice scuffles not playing. “If I were you, I would gladly accept your Oma terms.”

“Jeez, did you, change your place? If you can, exchange souls like in the movies!!"

“If only I could, I've done it since the beginning, Nessie.” Alice said with amused stiffness. “But Nessie, I feel awkward. Because it was a coincidence apparently. What if all that was planned by your Papa?” Imbuh Alice asked suspiciously.
