Hugging Longs
Chapters. 17
Because of the fried rice made salty, eventually Danny lost his appetite. This morning he went to work without filling his stomach. Though Bi Minah had prepared breakfast for him, his favorite menu as well, as Sara's message before leaving the house.
But unfortunately, his appetite had evaporated in the air. If Sara were still around, she would have spent whatever breakfast Sara had made.
Breathing fretfully, he rested his back on the back of his chair. By noon, his stomach began to protest. If there was Sara, she wouldn't starve like this. Sara understood what she wanted.
“I'm hungry,” Danny said by phone one day. After that, he focused on the computer screen. He is playing his favorite online game. He refused to leave the game while being excited.
Before long, Sara came with a tray full of food.
Sara pulls out a chair to sit next to Danny. Then began to feed Danny who was serious with the game.
“Little kids are still smarter than you. Your time that has grown like this is still being fed. Listen, Danny, I'm not your mother.” Sara deliberately insinuated that Danny slightly change his bad habits.
“You are more than my mother. You are everything to me.” Danny said without even looking at Sara.
“I know, I'm everything to you because I'm the only one you can treat like this, right?”
“You are special, Sara.”
Sara smiled, while feeding Danny. “Special servers do you mean?”
Danny glanced for a moment. Then, return to the computer screen. “Asistant special. Not a waiter,” he said with a thin smile.
“Yes, yes, assistant. Assistant who is always ready to serve his master.”
Stretching out his right hand, Danny shuffled the hair at the top of Sara's head, smiling. “Be a obedient assistant. Because your master is a little bit of a bringel.”
A piece of memory was ended because Danny's stomach began to rumble.
Actually Danny can ask Melly, his secretary to prepare lunch for him, by taking a menu from the hotel sideboard. Or he could order food online, but today he wants to go to lunch elsewhere.
By the way, Danny also remembered the restaurant he visited last night with Tania. The place where he met Sara. Which Tania said the restaurant belonged to a famous chef. Chef who had met him as ...
Uh!
Danny threw his breath away. He did not want to remember his introduction to the young chef. Which made his chest cramp suddenly.
Given his stomach that was protesting for his attention, Danny did not want to waste time. He rushed to the restaurant.
Sitting waiting for the waiter to come to him, at the opposite table, there were three girls chatting while watching the cellphone screen of a girl sitting in the middle. They were hysterical themselves while voicing one familiar name in his ear.
“Arga!” exclaim them along with the face of the fingers, while still paying attention to the screen of the phone.
“Yes, it turns out that chef Arga already has a wife. We can have a broken heart. I'm disappointed dong.” The girl sitting in the middle while holding the phone put on a pouting face.
“Who is his future wife?” ask the other one.
“Waaah ... Beautiful huh?” said the other one.
Danny put his ears on as soon as he heard it. Even though he looks indifferent.
“Name Sara. Yaah ... I'm disappointed, I swear. Though I have been fighting almost every day eating here so I can meet chef Arga. Uh, it turns out she already has a future wife.” The girl in the middle expressed her disappointment with a super pouty face.
Danny who heard it went awry, he misbehaved. Though no one noticed it.
But Arga was serious about his words. Even the man dared to tell the crowd if Sara was his future wife. Which means Danny doesn't have a chance anymore. Let alone to ask Sara back, even to hope, the opportunity was already closed to her.
“What message do you want, Sir?” A waiter asked as he approached Danny's desk. To Danny's surprise, he turned.
“Iya, Sara,” said Danny unknowingly. Thrown out of his mouth, so the name filled his head.
“Sorry, Sir. I'm not Sara.” The waiter smiled.
“What do you want to order?” The waiter asked, ready to record Danny's order.
But unfortunately, again Danny even lost his appetite. So he chose to leave the place, not to order food.
....
Somewhere else.
Sara could do nothing when Arga told the public that she was Arga's future wife. He could only develop his smile, because it would invite public curiosity if he denied Arga's words when the man said in front of the camera and was being watched by millions of pairs of eyes.
“Today I was accompanied by a special guest. She's beautiful, a cooking hobby too. Well, you want to know who he is?” Arga opened Cooking With Arga today. While Sara was still standing behind the camera with Oma Widya, watching Arga filming live.
“Then we call him directly. Sara.”
Sara was surprised. He refused, but Arga said. Arga didn't even ask for his permission first. He was forced to comply with Arga's request after Oma Widya persuaded him. Being in front of the camera is a new thing for him. Not only was he stiff, he was extremely embarrassed. Cold sweat began to pour from his forehead.
“Oh yes, there is one happy news that I want to convey directly through Cooking With Arga. This news might surprise you all. What news is that? You guys want to know?” Arga continued the opening of the show.
“Actually I'm ashamed to say this. But I want to share this happy news with you. She is my future wife,” Arga added. While glancing at Sara who was standing next to him with a big smile.
Likewise with Oma Widya who smiles happy to watch Arga and Sara stand side by side. They look really good.
Previously, Arga had already discussed this impromptu schedule with the crew. They just agree, because this can shock the public. Because Arga is a private person who is closed about life partners. This happy news will certainly attract public attention, and will become a trending topic on various social media.
Sure enough, not until half an hour they live, the event has been watched by tens of thousands of people. Which immediately shocked the public. Rarely heard the news of his closeness to a girl, unmitigated Arga immediately introduced his future wife openly.
....
“Before I apologized, Oma. Not that I refused. Only, why is it suddenly like this?” Sara said cautiously when she and Oma Widya were in Arga's dressing room. Waiting for the man to finish discussing with the filming crew is also his manager.
“Didn't Oma have told you that Oma really wants you to be part of the Oma.” family
“But, Oma. Arga and I don't know each other. How about suddenly ..”
“There's nothing you need to worry about me.” Suddenly Arga was already standing in the doorway, interrupting Sara's words. He came in and approached after closing the door.
Understanding the situation, Oma Widya also moved after saying, “You should first talk to both of you. Oma will be waiting for you outside. Hm?”
Sara lowered her face uneasily as soon as Oma Widya left. He really felt uncomfortable being left alone with Arga in that narrow room.
“I know you must be surprised. I didn't ask permission or discuss this with you first. But, Oma must have told you about Oma's plan to match us?”
Indeed, Oma Widya had alluded to her desire to make Sara as a companion for Arga's life. But Sara did not expect it to be this fast.
“I also understand you must be hesitant. But, at least we know each other first, as you meant earlier, right? So, ahem ..” Arga rubbed his neck, a sign that he was nervous.
“Will you be my girlfriend?” continued Arga ventured.
