LET ME DOWN SLOWLY
No Surrender

Chandra scrunched her forehead when she heard the girl across there pausing her speech on the phone.

"But what?" ask Chandra

Gricella sighed a little. "Are you not cold? I-I'm afraid you're catching a cold or you're allergic to cold air" Gricella's voice sounded so nervous and worried.

Chandra felt strange hearing what Gricella had just said. There was such a sense of pleasure from getting the attention of the girl.

"I'm fine. After all I've also gotten used to the night breeze," Chandra replied slightly offendingly.

Gricella was silent, Chandra's words touched her heart a little. Gadi was still silent, he also felt a little nervous because this was the first time they communicated long enough in the telephone connection. Chandra ended the phone call.

"No need to worry about me. Take a break, and take a bath with warm water!" chandra Letah.

After that Chandra immediately hung up the phone and returned with his transaction at the minimarket. Meanwhile, Gricella can only stare nanar on the screen of her phone. I don't feel like ending their phone call.

The girl sighed, then she chose to go into the room and clean her body. He did as Chandra had told him. Gricella really takes a warm bath.

At 12pm Chandra had just arrived at his house. Luckily, Fedi still opened his eyes, so he didn't have to press the doorbell for too long. There was a conversation between the two, just 'why just come home?'

After answering Fedi's question, Chandra was finally able to go straight to his room.

After cleaning up, Chandra immediately got dressed and laid her body on the bed. For a moment his eyes closed, to neutralize his fatigue.

When his eyes closed he was surprised and immediately opened his eyes, when the shadow of the figure of the girl who had made him uncomfortable for several months.

"Gricella," he murmured

Chandra immediately got up and sat leaning against the headboard of the bed. He rubbed his face rough with his palm.

"What's wrong with me? Why did the shadow look back on?"

Yes, when it was closed Chandra was so clear to see the sad look of Gricella. He subconsciously squeezed his left chest as he felt pain after seeing that sad look.

"Why does it feel so painful to see Cella crying?" Chandra muttered with a still confused feeling.

Chandra quickly shook his head. He reassured himself that he did not want to care or think about Gricella.

Not wanting to dissolve in his mind, he finally chose to close his eyes again. A few minutes later, Chandra finally made it into his dream.

Meanwhile, in an apartment room. Gricella still opened her eyes, the girl sat up while propping her head up on her two folded knees. His look looks so sad.

It seems like Gricella is still reminded of the words that Chandra had said on the beach earlier. Words capable of shaking his spirit in pursuit of the man's love.

Gricella sighed, her gaze still the same as before. He leaned his head against the headboard of the bed with his hands covering his face.

"I can't believe it!" Gricella rubbed her face violently.

"Come, Cella! You can definitely melt Chandra's heart. Don't be discouraged after hearing the man's words" he said excitedly.

Gricella raised her clenched hand. Showing the flames his spirit has returned. From the beginning, he was determined to get the heart, love and body of Chandra. So now he will not care about everything Chandra says, so that he stays away and stops hoping for her about his love.

One week later, Kanza has been working at a branch restaurant owned by Gricella. The woman worked so well, that all the reports about her performance made Gricella smile.

Kanza rubbed sweat on his forehead, then he resumed his work of tidying up the plates and tables of former visitors. Today the restaurant looks so crowded, plus another hour has entered the lunch hour.

Today Marvin and Langit come to the branch restaurant where Kanza works. The two sat down and were looking at the lunch menu at the restaurant.

"Chandra so come here?" ask Sky.

Marvin raised his head and nodded looking at the Sky. "They're on the road" replied Marvin.

"He came with his assistant?" The sky asked again and was nodded by Marvin.

"Yes, but I don't know how Fedi tastes. All I know is Chandra's taste" said Marvin.

"Hmm, because we've known Chandra for a long time. Moreover, we also often walk and eat together," Sky chirps.

"Here you go, order it just like Chandra!" cetus Sky again.

Marvin nodded in agreement to Sky's words. After all the orders were ordered, shortly Chandra and Fedi arrived. The two go inside, and without them noticing Kanza seeing their arrival.

"Arlan, Fedi," muttered Kanza who had just recorded the customer's order.

Chandra and Fedo approach the table where Marvin and Sky are waiting. The two sat down after greeting each other. Kanza ventured to approach the table where Chandra was.

"Kanza, please,"

The woman looked up when she heard her name being called. A man known as the assistant of his superior also walked up to the woman.

"Solar Pak" said Kanza.

"Can you help in the kitchen? There it seemed to be very busy," Surya said as he asked.

"Mmm, but it's also crowded here, sir!" answer Kanza.

"It's okay, after all, two hours of your morning shift will run out. Let me handle it!" surya.

Kanza was silent, refusing or refuting was impossible. Before long he nodded his head and said goodbye after handing over his notebook to Surya.

With a feeling of annoyance and a bent face Kanza entered into the kitchen, lucky he immediately put on a mask. So his face can be covered by the mask he uses.

Meanwhile, Surya accidentally sees Chandra and his assistant laughing with his two best friends. Surya finally approached them.

"Good day Mr. Chandra, Mr. Fedi," said Surya smiling kindly.

Chandra and Fedi who were sideways turned their heads and smiled kindly. Chandra and Fedo stand in line.

"Good day too Mr. Surya. Whatchur?" ask Chandra while shaking hands.

"Alhamdulillah, I am good. You're good too, aren't you, sir?" ask Surya back.

Surya shook hands with Marvin and the sky. Chandra slightly chuckled at Surya's question.

"Yes, I'm fine too. Have you had lunch, Mr Surya?" ask Chandra.

Surya nodded too. "Already sir, just relax. You better enjoy the food in our restaurant" replied Surya.

Not long Surya said, their order came. Surya said goodbye and again helped his men in recording orders of customers.

Chandra and the others are enjoying lunch today. Chandra hasn't been together with her two best friends for a long time. Especially with Sagara and Vesha, because of their respective activities.

"I heard that Vesha was going to do a proposal with Bryan in Surabaya" Marvin said.

Chandra was surprised to hear that, and he stopped chewing. "When? I don't know about this. Vesha also did not tell me," said Chandra.

"Mmm, Vesha hasn't told him yet. But I heard from Shena, she said they were going to have a proposal for about three weeks" Marvin replied.

Chandra nodded her head. "You're gonna come there?" ask Chandra.

Marvin and Sky glanced at each other.

"Eum, look at it later! I can't promise to attend Vesha and Bryan's application" Marvin replied.

"True, because lately the showroom is crowded!" add Sky.
