Love Me!

Love Me!
The Past of Felix


The next day, after the end of the cold war, and everything was going right, Key and Felix went back to their jobs.


"I'm leaving first yeah, two darlings!"


Key held onto Bianca's shoulder and kissed the woman's forehead and the toddler she was carrying.


"Be careful, honey!" bianca's Message.


Key nodded and brandished his thumb then got into the car.


Bianca reentered and continued her activities at home.

The car arrived at the company. Felix and Key went straight into the dedicated workspace at the very top level. By noon, they were there.


The atmosphere in the Sinar Group office was busy as usual. The employees passed by, working with serious faces. There was a bit of laughter in the room that contained some female employees. Talk about something that makes them ticklish. Once in a while someone snaps and makes another laugh. However, the laughter stopped instantly if Felix's smell or shadow passed through the room.


They were like being witches to return to their respective places. Especially when Mr. Key comes. They will not repeat their laughter and forget the silly stories they are talking about. If in that month there is a drop in sales, then Mr. Key's anger will explode. The goal should always be achieved. Must.


Actually Felix did not pay attention to them at that time. His feelings are a little stirred. His mind was crumbling at work for a moment. Yes, if some people are surprised, they will put down their work some time. But not Felix. He'll still be working. Surprise doesn't affect him in the office. Except for a surprise from Mr. Key.


Felix scrunched his forehead. Staring fixedly at the phone screen, reading a message from someone, then he put it in his pocket again. Then continue his steps to the division rooms.

A girl got out of her old car. He stepped back after the news he got was rejected by the manager of a print media company where he worked.


The girl walked into a cafe where she met a man, ten years ago. Sitting leaning against a chair, where ten years ago he was in the same place with a man.


His memories floated when they first met.


That night at about nine o'clock, the man looked exhausted, sitting around turning a glass of cold lemon water in front of his mouth. Like thinking of something.


He remembered, at that moment he was moved to approach the man who sat silent in the dimness of the night. Looks like he's in trouble.


"Hi, can I sit here?" tanyanya politely.


The man scrunched his forehead, looked at him from top to bottom, but then flashed a smile on his feet.


A cold man.


Girls who are used to facing many people, a little can read the attitude of others.


The girl sat down near the man she had just met, glanced at him for a bit, then called a waiter, ordering the exact same drink as the man had ordered.


The man still persisted with his silence. Staring ahead while sipping a little of his drink.


"I'm Amoy, you?"


The girl seemed unconcerned or indeed too brave to get to know him. The profession as a reporter must know many people. Whoever it is.


"Felix" he said without looking and welcoming the girl's hands.


Amoy snorted, disappointed that he lowered his hand, regretting why he had to extend his hand when he knew that the man was cold like a pole. Finally he remembered his disappointment with the manager.


"I've been working for three years at a print media company, but why has my news been rejected so much lately!" pissed off.


The girl snatched away just like that, flowing without anyone being able to stop. But back he didn't care. He wanted to put his frustration there. Whether the man will care or not, he will only vent.


"We're the same" the man said as Amoy finished speaking, making him raise his head, looking at Felix.


He can also talk about what he is going through.


It was as if the girl was beating.


"What's your bad luck?" asked Amoy while sipping a lemon drink that had been brought by the cafe waiter.


"I made a mistake in the financial examination. My boss is so angry that he's gonna fire me." The words sound frustrating.


"Oh, it's sad to hear that, too," said Amoy empathizing.


Felix fell silent and realized why he had even participated in a confiding session with the girl.


Amoy glanced slightly at the man who had finished his lemon water.


Suppose he cut a little hair would be sweeter.


Ah, I thought about what the hell!


"Where do you work, sir?" ask the girl.


Felix was stunned when he heard the question. He's a reporter. Felix felt he had to be careful with her.


The man quickly stood up and dodged the girl who had heard the secret that she was about to be fired. Fortunately, he doesn't know where Felix works.


"Eh, where are you going? We're not done talking, are we?" amoy asked surprised.


"I have business. I've paid for it."


Felix walked away.


"Wait!!" shouted Amoy.


He ran after Felix, his breathing stinging. Although he often ran around looking for news sources, but this time chasing Felix was bored.


"Number ... Your phone number, Mr. Felix!"


Amoy hands over his phone for the man to type in his number.


Felix thought for a moment and did not know what magic made him give his mobile number to the girl and then return the girl's phone. After Amoy received a mobile phone, Felix continued to step into his car.


Aggressive Amoy could approach Felix with dozens of his caretakers. Until the girl falls in love and declares love for the man. However, Felix, who is tied to a job with Mr. Key, did not dare to respond to Amoy's love, until the years passed, and they never got in touch again.


The shadow of the past fades.


Amoy was sitting where he used to meet Felix. This time with the same case, a rejection of the news despite having moved to another company, after several years he did not also get an answer from Felix, the company sent him to the overseas office, he said, until many years survive and apply for resign and finally get another job in his own country, just this one week.


After ordering a lemon drink, he opened his phone. Searching for the man's number and .. is still stored even though Amoy has changed the number, but the number always follows the transfer of contact.


On a whim, the girl typed and texted Felix, asking him how he was doing.


Sent up!


He was surprised, but also hoped that the man would reply to him. One minute, two minutes, three minutes to an hour, no reply. The girl swallowed her disappointment. He sipped his lemon, glazed over while picking up a smoked meat sandwich, added spicy sauce and mayonnaise, then bit him slowly while replaying his memory of Felix.
