Marriage Proposal: Ben & Bima
21 - Caught II

(Five)

I should have just run away, when I found out that Prof Ben and Levi were standing in front.

“Bim. To the room yes.” appoint Mr. Andri when all had disbanded. I'm going to go to Tasya and Riko. Not a word yet I say hello to Tasya why he is here, my feeling is ugly.

“Iya, Mr.”

I passed Riko and Tasya who were still fixated on disbelief. Confused what they wanted to say about what they heard. For others, this is good news. But for me this is bad news. For Riko and Tasya as well. Because what? Yes, because I wrote my love story with Prof Ben in the online novel and tomorrow will be a fan meeting. Again, only Riko and Tasya know this. I lied to Prof Ben a few days ago that I was a novel editor. I was introduced as a novelist by Mr. Andri's?

Both my palms are cold. Like my blood doesn't flow to my body. My throat feels dry. I exhaled many times in front of the door. The door of the room is a glass door. Surely anyone saw what I was doing.

“Ya, Mr.?” I opened the door and asked Mr. Andry. He sits on the couch. Levi looked at his cell phone and took a few pictures in every corner of his father's room.

“Hei, Bim. Here.” Mr. Andri invited me to sit on the sofa. Prof Ben was standing leaning against the table. He put both his hands in his pants pocket. Very cool. Oh naw. His face looks different. “This Milky. Whose pen name is Bim?”

I didn't answer Mr.'s question. Andry.

“Pah, I already know Bima.” chirped Levi. His voice is different. Not so serious. A tone that is not at all formal. The voice I used to hear.

Mr. Andri's confused.

“Oh, yesaaa! If it's not wrong Papa was on the phone yesterday Ben right? Make nyari Bima?” Mr. Andri scratched his head. “Okay, Papa forgot. Udpa.”

“Bim, elo there is trouble here?” levi asked completely casually in front of Mr. Andry.

“Ngg... no.” I glanced at Mr. Andry. He also looks relaxed. Only one person is not relaxed. Her face.

“Bima is the only permanent author. It means from the permanent staff of this company who became a novelist. It's been two months if not wrong, Bim?” obviously Mr. Andry.

I'm asserting.

“The other author was a famous writer who just stick here.” continued Mr. Andri again.

“What novelist also bis a concurrent as editor?” Prof Ben's voice was flat and heavy.

“Author yes author. Editor is editor. I could be an editor, but I'd like to mention other writers. Not editing his own writing.” Mr. Andri explained.

I think I'm gonna jump off this third floor.

(Ben)

I can feel the tension in Yayai. How long will he lie about his job? What is the problem with novel writers?

“Maybe I can get out first, Mr.?” ask Om Andri and Levi. Yayai looked a little shy at Levi. Not as relaxed as usual.

“Oke, Bim. Take your time.” said Levi. He still sees his phone. Frowning his forehead. “What title, Bim? Novel lo?” levi asked as Yayai approached the door.

“Nggg...” Yayai seemed to think. He's lookingat me. Why indeed?

“What? I want to read it now.” Levi demanded. He's still waiting.

“Nggg...” Yayai hesitate.

“Loh? Elo forgot the title?” Levi frowned.

“First Love if not wrong.” Andri answered.

“Nggg... i.. yes it is...” Yayai stammered. Why the hell is he?

Yayai quickly disappeared from the room. I could see him walking fast.

Three hours later, though,

I picked up the phone from Levi in the middle of my little meeting with the production team.

“Ya?” I answered slowly and slowly.

“Elo should read his novel Bima, Ben.” cerocosnya. So enthusiastic.

“Ha? Wh why? I don't like love stories.”

“Ya should start now you should like to not want to. Kan elo wants selection to be a film.”

“Ya continue?”

“What the hell? Any murders? Scene ***?”

“Ben!” shouted Levi. I kept my phone away from my ears. “Gue give you the link yeah! Read deh.”

TUUTT'S…

Fucking levi. The Production Director and his men looked at me curiously. Then I opened a short message from Levi and clicked on his link¬.

First Love's.

A title that is too simple. Not attractive. My lips in my heart.

Then I started reading in the first part. Seriously so.

“Bos, we execute first yah.” said Production Director. A young man, not so young anymore. He might be my age with a lot of experience.

“OK, okay.”

It was like I was throwing them out.

I seriously started reading Yayai's story again.

I entered the house limply. My history is over. My steps are so gontai. I still took the time to send Prof Ben a short message and ask him if he would be having dinner outside or at home.

Out. That's answer. Good. I'm a little calm. Chloe followed me into the room and she climbed on the couch in the room. I left her in the room alone and took a shower. I was in the bathroom for a long time. I splashed my head with warm water and thought of the right answers to Levi's various questions. I think Levi must have finished reading and soon realized that what he was reading was Prof Ben.

I came out of the bathroom with a towel. I wrapped my wet hair in a small towel and ran quickly to my room.

“Do you eat?” The heavy sound appeared to surprise me.

Luckily I haven't opened my towel yet. I just open and look at the clothes. I saw Prof Ben sleeping on the couch and Chloe sleeping on his lap. Lord!!!! Why the hell is he!!???

“Prof!!!” hysterical shouting. I jumped on the bed and pulled my blanket to cover my entire body. “Why enter my room???!!!”

“I want to chat.”

“Chat can wait for me in the middle room!!” I was too hysterical. I just put my face under the blanket. He was standing in front of me.

“You've eaten?” ask again.

“Beluummm!!!” Well why the hell is he. I felt my towel wrapped around my naked body sag. Pestilent.

Prof Ben lifted his leg and climbed onto the bed.

“Do not approach!!” my prevent. My voice sounded so sad.

My distance to him is probably about 80 inches.

“I didn't eat out. Can you cook something?”

I gawk. Fucking weird. I want to cry. I look so languid.

“Can? It's late at night. Do you want to order online?”

“Order online aja.”

“DEAL! You ordered yes. I want to eat chicken.”

Then Prof Ben got out of my bed and disappeared from my room with Chloe.

I let out a breath. Quickly fixed my sagging towel and ran towards the bedroom door and locked it quickly. Fear Prof Ben is back in. At a time like this, I wanted to end my novel and disappear. Why did he try to say he was going to dinner outside and suddenly he came home and went into my room with a question that I thought could be asked outside the room. Why do I have to go to my room???!!!
