Jakarta - Tokyo Love Story
12. Anxiety Amelia Santono


Kalula confronts Dika to apologize for not entering yesterday without permission to get sick. Kalula was afraid of being scolded but it turned out that the cafe manager was friendly and asked if he was okay and was healthy now.


Kalula was happy but a little surprised too. But he didn't think about it. He returned to work serving the visitors of the always crowded place.


Kalula did not know that Dika had been briefed by Edward so as not to be angry about the permission to get sick. Dika of course yes-yes. He was the manager of the cafe while Edward was the owner. Whatever Edward's orders he'll do.


Throughout the day Kalula was completely focused on working. He turned off his phone as advised by Edward.


In the break hours, Edward deliberately equated his schedule so that he could continue to be close to Kalula. He continued to squeeze without giving a pause for Kalula to think. Really Edward?


"How many times have you checked your phone till this afternoon?" edward asked with a laugh.


Kalula. "Nope. I've been shutting it off since morning."


"Rice." Edward said again while offering a glass of cold cappuccino to Kalula.


Kalula smiled happily. They were sitting in the area next to a cafe that was devoted to employees. There was a fence of living plants dangling between those long trellises. Where their position can be clearly seen from the outside.


Neither Edward nor Kalula knew someone was stalking them and taking some pictures.


The man who followed them was Bram-Amelia Santono.


[Sir Edward with a girl at his cafe on Jalan Aksara, Mom. Looks close and familiar. Here's the picture." ]

Amelia Santono received the message as she was relaxing enjoying a head massage at her salon. He was surprised to see the photo sent Bram to wake up from the shampoo chair so that the salon employees who handle it panic.


"Sorry, Mom. Is the water too hot? Or did my massage hit the sore part?" I asked her in panic. The employee certainly knows that Amelia Santono is a VVIP customer in this salon.


"Oh, no, really. Naw. Sorry sorry. I was just a little surprised. Okay no papa. Calm down" said Amelia, then sat back down and laid herself down comfortably.


The diamond-ringed and red-clawed hand kept tapping on his phone screen. He zoomed in on the photo Bram sent to see more clearly like the girl he was with.


Amelia furrowed her brows immediately. This girl in a cafe waitress uniform? Oh, whoa!


Earlier this morning he caught a glimpse of Edward crossing the street right in front of his car and the girl was in his arms. The hairstyle of this girl is the same. Flat bangs over the eyebrows. Yes, there are probably a lot of girls who have bangs. But it seemed like they were the same girl, inner Amelia while nodding her head.


Still enjoying a spoiled massage on her head, Amelia Santono brought her phone closer to her ear.


"Bram, follow Edward to his apartment, yeah. You brought a car, right? Follow the car, don't get away. Maybe Edward will take the girl home. Don't forget to report. If you can photograph. Wanna?"


"Mom, Mum."

Bram was behind the wheel and ready to follow Edward's car. He knew Edward's car was parked near the cafe area. Of course Amelia Santono told her, here are the plate numbers.


"Well, why not get in the car?" Bram immediately muttered to himself. His spooky tattooed arms seemed to loosen his ready position.


Edward, who was the target for her to follow, walked with the girl. His car just passed by. Bram is confused. It has to be what? Following people on foot by car will certainly be difficult.


Once this car gets into the main road ahead there, then he gets hit if the road slowly.


"Araghhh! I'll walk." Bram finally got out of his car. Not to forget he took a hat to further perfect his disguise.


Edward had never seen Bram in person. But Bram knew the boy because Amelia had already hired him to spy on the boy moving into the apartment. Bram still felt he needed a hat just in case.


Edward and Kalula. Bram took a safe distance of several meters behind them. While pretending to walk like an ordinary person, Bram's hands also while pulling out his phone to photograph secretly and report.


Until finally Edward and Kalula entered the apartment, Bram's step was held up to the lobby. He didn't have an access card until the elevator because he wasn't alone there. Guests are only waiting here, except to enter with the owner of the unit carrying the card.


[Mrs, Mr. Edward went into her apartment with the girl. I can only get to the lobby. Now I have to how? Just home?" ]


Bram sent out a message while sitting on the comfortable waiting sofa. His breathing was still going up and down irregularly. The distance of the cafe and apartment is actually not too far away, so Edward and Kalula walk here.


It's just that Bram is indeed a bit fat and he is not used to walking far especially while following people, so he still feels tired.


He glared at his cell phone screen. He waited for a reply to a message from his Lady, but it turned out that the Lady did not reply to the message. The rich widow called him in person.


So you just wait there, Bram. Not in the lobby. Outside, the security guard will suspect that you've been there for a long time."


But it was late at night and Bram was sleepy waiting, Kalula did not also come out of the apartment building. Bram called back the Mistress who hired him.


"Mrs Amelia, the girl didn't come out. I got sleepy. So how do I do, Mom? I'm home, right?" Bram scratched his head boredly because from earlier just observing the traffic of people without results.


"Oh, no. You just sleep there. Parkirin your car near there, then you wait until tomorrow the schedule leaves for work. Or usually Edward likes to run around in the morning, right?


You keep watching. I will pay double, though. How's it? Would you, Bram?" Amelia Santono seduce.


"OKAY. Yes, I took the car first time, yes," said Bram limply and half sleepy. Even so, the 2-fold payment made him force himself to walk down the middle of the night to his car parked near the cafe.

At midnight, Edward kept Kalula busy and forgot about everything.


After returning home from work, he invited Kalula to make dinner in the kitchen and they ate together, washed dishes, and joked.


Then after, Edward pulled Kalula's hand to sit on the sofa and play a movie for them to watch together while chatting. Until finally now Kalula overslept without having time to reactivate the phone he turned off.


Edward smiled triumphantly. He put Kalula on the sofa again and he was covered. He then slept on the thick carpet underneath as usual.


Kalula is the only girl who makes Edward obsessive. But that's what he's unique about. A traumatized Edward falls in love feeling like he's rediscovering what he wants.


Kalula's complicated world made him even more curious. He felt he had to save the girl from her toxic family and from her boyfriend.


Edward knew Kalula had to be his, somehow. He felt Kalula was his destiny.


***


Edward awoke as Kalula sat staring at the screen.


Somewhat disappointed even Edward saw Kalula engrossed with his phone again. He was afraid that Edo would again seduce Kalula and they would be better off.


"Kal's? Awake already? Wh why? Edo called you when your phone died yesterday?" Edward immediately took a sitting position next to Kalula.


Kalula. "No. He didn't call me. I think it's fun to see him with his friends through the story in sosmed Erina.


Only my mother called me on Karina's phone. He asked to be sent money because he said the money was due and he was terrorized by moneylenders."


Edward clicked his lips.


"Kal, what do you know about your mom?" Edward stretched his hand to the back of the sofa as if he wanted to hug Kalula's shoulder.


"ignored. Aye, right?" Kalula tried to laugh cuey, although in the depths of his heart he was sad it turned out that all day he deliberately turned off the phone but Edo did not try to find it or contact him.


In her little heart she wanted her boyfriend to apologize to her like he used to.


"You running off in the morning again?" Edward volunteered when he saw the clock showing at 5.


Kalula nodded without hesitation. He knows running can make his mind distracted.

[ "Mr Amelia, at 5:10 Mr. Edward came out of the apartment. Wear the same sportswear girl. Her photo. I've gone far to follow them."  ]


Bram reasoned. He just walks again and is sleepy.


Message sent. Bram fell asleep in his car. Amelia Santono who received the message when she woke up immediately decided.


Yes, today he will go to the cafe directly. What was the girl who made her Edward fall in love? Moreover, his son brought the girl to stay in his apartment.


As a mother, Amelia was anxious...
