LOVATY 1.0
My plan
“Wah, you were so kind today!” damian said, The combination of praise and ridicule when he saw his friend came by carrying several dishes full of food.
“Do not want to help Danny serve the guests?” he added.
“Of course, of course this food is not for you!” said Ray tried to return the ridicule of his friend.
“Yes, that's why they say friends are only for those who don't have lovers.”
“Tell that to yourself!”
“I? I am the exception!”
Ray stops serving his friend's jokes and turns to the woman next to him.
“Eat,” Ray shifts a bit of the plate he brought towards Calya.
"Yes, Calya eat. It was brought in full cin.. Aww."
This time Ray stopped Damian's sentence with his foot.
"It turns out you are childish too, Damian,” said Calya who had just been silent to hear ridicule about her.
“Maybe know how to have fun more precisely,” Damian confidently defended himself.
“You are also papers. You talk too much,” said Ray chimed in his words.
A smile appeared on Calya's face. Who would have thought that the two men could make him laugh. Those who looked serious at work turned out to be just as silly as Kenzo and Rezvan outside the office.
“Why has Qeiza not returned yet?” ask Damian.
“True, why was he so long in the toilet?”
“No, he's out of the toilet. We were talking near the buffet. Maybe he was taking food.”
“He had a conversation with someone else apparently,” Damian finally understood why Qeiza spent so long inside.
“Other people?” ask Ray.
Damian's line of sight invited the two men to look back. They could then see the figure of Qeiza who was walking closer together with someone who was not foreign but also unexpected.
“How are things?” Arion greeted them kindly.
“Good. Unexpected to meet you who are quite busy here,” replied Damian.
“My family and Danny know each other, of course I have to attend. Have you been here long? Don't mind if I join?”
“Of course! This is not a closed society, sit down.” Ray invites Arion to join them at the table. The man directly occupied the seat beside Calya, which was previously occupied by Qeiza.
‘That's my place, ' said Qeiza inwardly, forced to move to the seat between Damian and Ray.
Qeiza slightly tidied up her clothes after she sat down, while Damian began to draw closer to her. The man whispered “Did you bring him here?”
“Did I look that bad intentionally bring her here? He himself walked here,” replied the woman who also whispered.
“So, how's your job lately?” Arion starts to open talks with Calya. The man asks some common questions about the woman's life that Calya answers only right away.
“This is just my feeling or she really considers no one else but her and Calya at this table?” Damian whispered to Qeiza again.
“Have let it go,” the answer that Qeiza gave was like signaling her indifference, when in fact it was not. From that moment the woman continued to listen to the conversation of the two even observing the movement patterns and the look on Arion's face.
“My father has been asking you lately, he was very worried when your father said you suddenly came home because you were not feeling well. He made sure that the four of us could eat together again when you were better.”
“Please apologize to your father for leaving first without saying goodbye.”
“So can we eat together again?”
“Sorry, I can't promise.”
“Why is the direction of their conversation getting deeper? Is it true they have a special relationship?” the third time Damian whispered to Qeiza, and this time the woman really felt her concentration was disturbed.
“THINK PERSONAL AFFAIRS..”
Qeiza involuntarily lost her temper and spoke out loudly, making the eyes of the other three people point at her. Fortunately before finishing the sentence, he regained his senses. The woman immediately pretended to be having a private conversation with Damian, while the man only smiled faintly at the other three people.
“It looks like you guys are cool talking to ignore the food on the table. Danny might be disappointed to see this?” said Ray, which is actually more addressed to Arion.
Ray who had just been silent and watched the man kept asking. But he felt the conversation was only one way, no. He was sure Calya was not enjoying the conversation, maybe the woman was feeling annoyed. Thanks to the moment that Qeiza created, she had a chance to act.
“I don't think Danny will be disappointed. Because he can be a facilitator for his guests to chat casually.”
“If only for casual conversation, I think you can do it freely at any time. I thought you guys were that close?”
Although a little, but the tension on the table is still felt. Create a moment of silence until someone ends it.
Calya got up and walked away. Finally able to breathe a little relief after a few steps away from the table. It's true that he feels uncomfortable. For the first time in his life he felt intimidated. It was like being between two great walls that were slowly moving to squeeze him
"It can't be like this! I have to get out of this place" he said, now looking in the mirror.
Calya took her phone, let her fingers dance on the touchscreen. A few minutes passed before the woman put her phone back in her bag. Calya walked out of the toiet.
Calya went back to that round table. Act normal, like Calya who is always good at covering everything. A little eating, a little drinking even answered some of the questions directed at him.
Seemed like he decided to stay there longer, before finally the sound of his cellphone was heard.
"Hello, why Rezvan?"
"Yes, that's right F Brand. Why the hell?"
"Now?'
"All right then. See you at the office."
Calya kept her phone back in the bag while several pairs of eyes were staring at her at this moment. He first packed up some of his things before explaining to the people at the table.
"There was a sudden affair at the office, so I have to leave now. Come Qei!"
"Why are you going too?" damian asked Qeiza.
"Calya's job is my job too, don't you forget?"
The two women got up from the chair. Before leaving, Qeiza did not forget to say goodbye, as the last pleasantries to the three men there.
"We go first. Enjoy the party."

“Haaahhh... Finally able to be free from the hell of awkwardness,” Qeiza stretched her muscles as if she was bound in a room.
“Your idea is powerful too,” said Calya while patting her best friend's shoulder.
“Of course! If you stick to your plan, maybe we can't get out now.”
***
Calya took her phone, let her fingers dance on the touchscreen.
‘AKU WANT TO GO HOME!’
^^^‘What do you want to reason with them?’^^^
‘NO REASON REQUIRED! ANYWAY I WANT TO GO HOME!’
^^^‘If you go straight home just like that, it's not polite the name! Don't forget, they're our clients and bosses!’^^^
‘Then you yourself have a plan?’
^^^‘Of course! I've been thinking about this since.’^^^
‘What?’
^^^‘We use work as an excuse.’^^^
‘Whatever they will believe?’
^^^‘They will believe, if anyone calls you.’^^^
‘But who?’
^^^‘As I take care of, you just come back here.’^^^
‘Ok.’
Calya walked out of the toiet, and returned to the table. This time it was Qeiza who looked busy with her phone.
‘REZVAN! CALL CALYA 10 MINUTES AWAY, IMPORTANT!’
^^^‘What? Why?’^^^
‘HAVE DONE IT!’
^^^‘No want! Don't you want to subvert me like that!”^^^
“About once. It's up to you if you don't want to! Don't blame me if you become a victim of anger Calya!”
