Jakarta - Tokyo Love Story
2. Chocolate Eyed Man

Edward Megantara, the son of a conglomerate who was recently hit hard because his papa died. His mother began to worry about him and told him to come home from Adelaide as soon as he graduated from college.

Her mother was worried about the continuity of their family business. Edward was his only son and he was unruly.

Edward is free-spirited. He wants to get out of this business. He wanted film school like his dream, but his mother kept forcing him to go to business school. He eventually graduated as well.

But he's getting tired of being organized. His usual father defended him was also gone. He wanted to escape this responsibility but his mother kept him stuck here.

"You work here?" asked Edward who had not been separated from his eyes to look at Kalula who was dimpled and white.

Kalula. She wears a white blouse and a black knee-length skirt. His hair fell behind his ears.

It was like a slow motion that captivated Edward. He's getting stunned.

"I have an interview. Seems late. I hope there is still a chance. I was bad when I woke up. I go first, yes," said Kalula who immediately ran into the room.

Edward immediately moved nimbly calling the cafe manager. The man in blue shirt faced her in confusion.

"What's up, Mr Edward?" ask Dika the cafe manager. He was confused why Edward who was about to go home after checking one of the branches of the cafe called him again. Did he have any mistakes? Dika looked at his new boss timidly.

"The girl, brother. He said he was late for the interview. We need a new employee, right?" ask Edward.

"Oh, yes, sir. Yesterday's waiter resigned, so he needed a new replacement. What's up, sir?" ask Dika confusedly.

"No papa. You got away with him, yeah. Tomorrow I go to work here as well. Don't call me Sir. Call me Edward. Tell the others who already know who I am.

Don't let them know I'm the owner of this place. I want to pretend to be an employee. Don't ask why or ask too many questions. Don't tell my mom, either. Okay well? Yes it's gone" said Edward.

Dika looked confused. Not leaving but he just stayed in place in a panic.

He really did not understand the orders of his new boss. Edward who first came here to just check the cafe branch suddenly want to follow the work here?

"Why again? You confused? Be stuck. Anyway, I'll give you an extra bonus if you guys keep your mouth shut. Who knew I was Amel's son? Are you the same guy as that? I work here tomorrow.

Now there's an empty barista position, right? Whether or not I will come tomorrow. Let me be there. Wrestle out? It's there!" Edward pushed Dika away.

Dika was still confused but Edward gave the code to Kalula who was sitting waiting in the room with the transparent glass door.

"Thank you." Edward gave the code without a sound.

Dika just nodded with resignation. I don't know what Edward's plan is. He doesn't understand. He obviously did not want to break his boss's orders.

That afternoon Kalula left the cafe area with a smile. Yes, he got accepted to work there.

Dika the cafe manager who had interviewed him immediately accepted it without much question.

"Hey, how's the interview?" asked Edward who suddenly appeared to greet him.

"I'm accepted. Oh yeah, why are you still here?" ask Kalula.

His mood is good. He who would not normally be friendly to an unknown person suddenly became friendly.

"Oh, I was also just in the interview. From tomorrow I work there as a barista." Edward bragged. His sports car was parked in front of the cafe.

The luxury car now he passed by as if he did not own the car. He continued to talk after Kalula.

"Oh yes, greetings. I'm Kalula" said Kalula who immediately stopped his steps and extended his hand toward Edward.

"I'm Edward" he said as he welcomed the hand. His face did not stop smiling.

Kalula really made him feel excited. He who initially refused his mother's request to manage their business places so changed his mind.

Easy, right? Only once a few days to visit their cafe and also its branches. Also some other business places within the city as well. The one outside the city is his mother's business.

My mom said it was just an exercise. Who knows Edward is comfortable and agrees to inherit also take over all of his family's business.

"I'm happy to make new friends, pass the job interview as well. What if I buy food? It's been in lunchtime yet, anyway?" edward said, spontaneously seeing his watch.

Yes, an expensive watch that barista cafe cannot have and he hides it behind his back. He looked at Kalula with a grim.

Fortunately Kalula was not aware of the gelagat. He just nodded. I don't know why he agreed to Edward's call

"To get there, yuk." Point at Kalula while walking towards the meatball cart on the sidewalk that shady.

"okay." Edward said somewhat doubtfully but his face was still smiling.

He grew up in a gold cage. Everywhere you pick up a driver in a luxury car. Where he once ate on the side of the road. But for Kalula's sake he just nodded.

For some reason every Kalula was engrossed in speech, as if there was energy from him coursing for him. Unforgettably he looked at her. He was amazed and wanted to know this figure. Kalula always looks cheerful.

And the next day at the cafe, Edward continued to steal a glance at him while looking for opportunities to just chat or spend time together during the break.

Dika looked at his boss anxiously. He was confused why the man wanted to be told by other employees who did not know who he really was. But Edward always threatened Dika with his eyes.

"Udah, don't say it. Just tell me it's okay. Don't be so clumsy and stiff. Others will be suspicious. Now I'm an employee and you're his boss. Okay?" Edward elbowed the stomach of Dika who followed him anxiously to the toilet.

The days go on until it doesn't feel like a week. Edward felt the time was less to get close to Kalula. He looked for ways to get closer to the girl.

Kalula does not realize it and thinks Edward is just an ordinary working friend. He focuses on his job and occasionally steals time to contact Edo who is far away in Tokyo.

Although Jakarta and Tokyo only have a difference of 2 hours, but the time difference is quite disturbing as well. Moreover, Edo is also busy with his new environment, his busy life on campus, and many more things that he must take care of as a new student.

Kalula felt neglected. His mind went everywhere for fear that Edo was getting closer to Erina.

He was traumatized by Edo. And that fear made his mind poisonous.

That afternoon after changing clothes and preparing to go home, Kalula looked at his cellphone he saw Erina's social media account that he followed because they knew each other during the selection first.

Kalula saw the togetherness of the 5 candidates who passed the scholarship was eating together at a restaurant. Envy shook his heart. He should be there, among them.

They also uploaded photos of some videos together. And from the video Kalula saw Erina and Edo sitting next to each other. His heart was hot.

Erina also specifically posted a selfie of the two of them enjoying a meal. This is just an ordinary friendship. Erina also took pictures with the others as well. But Kalula's heart was already hot.

He turned off his phone and walked home gloomily. Edward followed her and continued to try to get her to talk.

With all of Edward's theatrics, the lonely and jealous Kalula agrees to spend the dinner together at the meatball stall where they used to eat when they first met.

In fact, it is actually a favorite place to eat Edo and Kalula.

"My girlfriend rarely tells me. Said busy. But I saw this picture. Do you think they're just friends or have more relationships? Am I overreacting because I'm jealous?" Finally Kalula who had begun to be hooked was confiding with Edward.

Edward looked disappointed.

Oh, it turns out Kalula already has a girlfriend.

The Kalula mobile screen. Kalula shows a photo of Edo with Erina.

"Like cementan. But the gini, anyway. Are you sure they have nothing?" Edward actually spills and instigates Kalula who is upset.
