If You Met Me First...
To Maine


Travel to Maine


Hugo turned to Thea who was opening his iPad and typing something there. The man furrowed his brows when he found out that Thea was working. The two are on their way to Maine with Hugo as the driver.


"Thea? Really ? We're going on vacation, are you even working?" chuckles Hugo.


"I forgot to close for Tuesday's hearing. So I have to make it so that I don't forget again."


"Thea. Can I ask you something?"


"Shoot" replied Thea which means please without distracting from her iPad.


"Have the DNA tests come out?"


Thea looked towards Hugo. "That's let Omar tell you, Mr. Melker."


"Why didn't you tell Thea?"


"Because it's already entered the FBI domain. I have no right.." answered Thea.


"But you know, right?" Hugo glanced towards the exotic-skinned girl.


"I knew. Let's finish the holiday, bang Omar meet you Mr. Melker."


"Thea, please, it's a relaxed atmosphere but you're really formal... Okay, after Maine, I'll call Omar Zidane." Hugo then concentrated on driving again and Thea re-typed her work.

Shane smiled as Apsarini voraciously ate the chicken sandwich she bought from her dinner subscription. "Enak Sari?"


"It's so good ! Mayonnaise how can it taste so good?" apsarini asked as she looked at Shane with her sparkling blue eyes.


"They are made by themselves and with a secret spice like KFC" Shane replied.


"Oh deserved... I've never felt a mayonaise like this." Apsarini bit her sandwich again. "I can get fat if I eat like this every day..."


Shane noticed Apsarini's body as they were in the toll queue.


"Mirhane !" apsarini's reprimanded. "Don't look at me like that !"


Shane laughing. "You're too skinny, Sari."


"I'm not that good !" objection Apsarini.


"Add another two or three kilos is still okay..."


"Mirhane !"


Shane chuckled at the girl's manyun. "You're the one that frowns even more adorable!"


Apsarini shook her head. "I'm like seeing the second Bayu mas..."

Hugo Melker glanced at Thea who looked asleep let alone the journey from New York to Maine long enough even though they had passed the toll. Passing the state is also because Maine entered New England.


Hugo's car has entered the I-95 toll which is one of the lines to Maine and later Hugo must enter interstate 91 and then exit to I-485 to get to Maine.


"Thea, are you hungry? There's a dinner on the I-95 exit. I'm hungry." Hugo patted Thea's cheek slowly making the girl wake up.


"Until ... Where is Hugo?" ask Thea confused.


"Go to I-95 and go to I-91. But there's dinner so we eat waffles and pancakes first yuk? Or eating fried chicken? Honestly, I'm hungry and I'm afraid I won't concentrate on driving."


"Can. I'm getting hungry too. Especially half way, right?" thea's smile.


Hugo smiled and turned his car into a dinner. After parking his car, Hugo went down along with Thea and into a very typical American dinner.


"What message do you want?" hugo asked as they sat down.


"Pancakes, fried chicken, chicken sandwiches and coke" Thea replied as she read the menu.


Hugo mentioned all his second orders and then the waiter went to the kitchen to hand over the order memo.


"Your sleep?" ask Hugo.


"No, but I'm glad to see you can sleep..."


"Why indeed?" ask Thea.


"It looks peaceful." Hugo replied calmly making Thea's cheeks flushed red.

Shane and Apsarini


"Do you think Bayu and Ajeng will be more chaotic household life." Shane glanced at Apsarini while driving with concentration as the road began to be empty.


"When dating alone I have often heard they are chaotic let alone married. Mbak Ajeng the definition of bodo girl is very if you feel right ya still ngeyel" Apsarini smile.


"Are you going to be like that too? If you feel right will surely mengueyel?" tabla Shane.


"Depends on context... If it does not violate the law and principles, and I am right, I will still stand up to defend my arguments and principles" replied Apsarini sweetly. "Are we talking about what the hell is Shane?"


"So there's just a topic to talk about" Shane replied.


"Oh, are we going to eat a lot of seafood?" Apsarini's blue eyes stared fixedly at Shane.


"Why? You don't like seafood?" Reply Shane with a smile.


"No. On contrary, I really like seafood ! Thank God I don't have any allergies so I can eat anything." Apsarini smiled happily as she stared at the view from behind the window of her car.


Shane rubbed Apsarini's head gently making the girl stunned. Apsarini turned her head towards Shane who remained looking straight ahead.


"Mirhane?" Apsarini was puzzled by the attitude of her distant cousin.


Maybe Shane feels like a Bayu mas ... Mas Bayu if his sisters like it so.


Apsarini tried not to think further but she felt her heart pounding. Debaran was different when he was with Khrisna Rao. Apsarini doesn't know what but she knows it feels different.


When can I like my distant cousin? But how could Shane like me... We're like brothers, right? Apsarini bit her lower lip confused by the incident that shocked her.


"Why are you Sari?" ask Shane.


"It's okay. Oh, would you take turns driving?" fresh Apsarini.


"Sari, we are on the highway, there is no way we can stop haphazardly. There I will get Highway Patrol ticket and we both will fail the holiday even though I have booked a cottage and a place for us to eat delicious. A lot of harm." replied Shane while a manyun made Sari laugh.


"So you prefer to take a vacation and force yourself to drive instead of changing the same me for a good meal?" kerling Apsarini's.


"That's it ! City loss knows not" Shane kekeh.


Apsarini. The beautiful girl looked back at the street view.


Shane glanced towards Apsarini. You are beautiful, attractive, intelligent and independent just that you fortify yourself very high. Is it because you feel that you are not part of the Pratomo family because your parents are not officially married? As long as you know, you are very valuable, Sari. You are the woman I so desperately want to be my life partner. And I will make you more receptive to yourself and able to stand up. Your parents' fault is not your fault ... Even I see, you are a blessing from their mistakes. If you are not born, I cannot be with you...


"What's Shane?" ask Apsarini who saw Shane a little dreamy.


"It's okay." replied Shane.


"If you're driving, don't daydream!" apsarini.


"Well baby." Shane smiled as he rubbed Apsarini's head again.


Eh?
