Love Me Please Channing
Can't Come yet

The cheerful smile of Binar was inevitable, while his parents and sister went to Malang City, to the house of Abercio who had been his residence.

Friendly greetings and also spoiled hugs become the first greeting that Binar treats. Continued with successive pleasantries that made Kendrick and Athena shake their heads. The bachelor's degree turned out not to make Binar stop from his disappointment.

"But, why, Mama Papa is just the same Axel doang? Where's Channing?" ask Binar. He thought Channing was still in the cab. However, until the taxi drove away, Channing was not present among them.

"Your brother can't come now, there's still urgent work. He'll catch up later."

Hearing the father's reply, Binar immediately raised his lips. When will it be? Bali-Malang flights are only today and the day after. There is no tomorrow or night. So, what do you want to fly with Channing? Borrow a witch's broom?

"Any two-day vacation really can't, Pa? Got to do it now? In fact, we have never met you," protested Binar with his head bowed.

"Binar, don't say that. After the work is done, Channing will also come straight here" said Athena who felt bad for Binar as if to blame Kendrick, as the highest leader in the office.

"I just want him on my big show, Ma. This is once in a lifetime. Is it that hard?" Binar answered without lifting his face.

"This is also beyond Papa's knowledge, Binar. It wasn't the work at the office that made Channing unable to come now, but rather the cooperation plan she had planned with Felix. You know they're gonna open up a minimarket?" timpal Kendrick's. Reveal the details of Channing's reasons for not being able to come home that day.

Binar took a deep breath. It's true, Channing has a plan to work with Felix. He said, will open a minimarket as a personal business, which will be developed together, slowly. However, Binar was a little disappointed if Channing could not come on his special day. Especially without the slightest news.

"Here you are, Bin, don't frown. Channing is late for work, for your future too. He's struggling, when you're having a gini?" Yuna interjected, patting and gently shaking Binar's shoulder.

"Yes." Yeah." Binar said slowly and briefly. Although his lips were commenting on a smile, but his heart was still craped. There was a sense of annoyance and tightness that mixed into one, making him less excited by the circumstances of the moment.

'Why didn't you say that you haven't come home today?'

Write a Bar in the message field sent to Channing. Following the message this morning, which until then has not yet been read.

While pretending to keep the souvenirs his parents brought, Binar looked back at the phone screen implying his message with Channing. Last night, the man asked about the souvenirs he wanted. Then, this morning he answered with a long sentence— do not want souvenirs of all kinds, just flowers hand that will be handed over after he graduated.

At exactly 06:00 in the morning the message was sent. However, until now at 02:00 noon, there has been no reply. Binar Kira, earlier because Channing was busy preparing her trip to Malang, so did not have time to reply. But apparently, the man came too late. I don't know what his job is. Until willing to miss a flight whose ticket he had ordered since long ago.

"It's too busy, huh? Until there is no time to reply to my message. In fact, just spend a few seconds already can." The sparkle nodded with disappointment. Even if it's late or can't even come, at least tell me. Don't disappear without a word.

At the same time, in a different place, Channing was stepping full of charisma towards the open room on the second floor, in Felix's house. He will meet his best friend and prospective co-workers.

"No, I haven't been home long. Earlier, come with Papa out to see a client," Felix replied. "You yourself ... Suddenly want to talk about this? Didn't you have to fly to Malang today? You said graduation tomorrow."

Channing smiled wryly. "From on a mute delay, right?"

"Pending a little while. Tomorrow I'm out of town for three days. Even if now you go to Malang first, not up to a week delayed."

"Well, five days is also time. The show is still tomorrow afternoon. Still hunting for example leaving later tonight," replied Channing.

"Yes .. I thought you were going home early that day, not mepet gini. I haven't seen you in a long time, did it take a lot of time to let go of longing?" Felix chuckles.

"Still focused on the future first. The longing will be if you have the blessing" Channing replied, which again made Felix laugh.

After that light chat, Felix and Channing began to talk seriously. Discuss the business plan they will run, ranging from the supply of goods, to the budget for rental places and employee salaries.

The funds needed are certainly not small, but fortunately Felix's father is ready to become the biggest investor.

"If everything is smooth, it is not until two months we can walk. You get ready, get two hours of sleep a night" Felix said with a crisp laugh.

Channing raised both eyebrows. "Yes .. is a bit crazy. In between gini-intensive work, we even open another business. I don't know how to set the time. In the office the eyes have shifted most see the numbers that lined up, continue later plus work on the report in the store. Cosplay is not a robot."

"You set the future for blessing."

Channing laughs. It is true, to have the blessing. But other than that, there is another reason for yourself. Channing wants to be independent. Success for personal efforts, not just relying on the legacy of parents. Even if Kendrick later helped his business, it would be counted as an investment, not given free. Even with Felix's father, everything counts like a business in general.

While waiting for Felix to copy the data just now, Channing pulled out her phone and took a photo. Then, send it to Binar.

'I'm sorry I haven't told you since morning I've been busy. It's not too far off. Don't be disappointed just yet. Tomorrow's event, I'll try to make it come. You are the spirit, don't forget to smile. I'm an undergraduate, I can't miss.'

Write Channing below whose photo shows Felix, complete with his desk scattered.

After the message was sent, Channing fell silent for a moment. Muffled and calmed the sudden turbulent taste in his heart.

Seriate...
