FALL IN LOVE


\~It is your imperfectness that makes you perfect\~


Finally 1 week passed. My pocket is cold as my heart.


I couldn't sleep all night thinking about money. I gave up, my piggy bank I slaughtered but still did not load that much money. The only way to ask Papa.


“That work is no becus!! Now so lose a lot!!” Papa shouted to his subordinates.


“I'm sorry, Mr.”


“Don't just apologize!! We have to figure out how to solve it how..?!” Papa shouted back.


I gulped my saliva while eavesdropping in front of Papa's study. “Papa's mood is no longer good.”


I regret never saving my allowance all this time, hikz. I always spend my allowance to buy tickets, online comic coins, play online games, etc. Now I live miserable with dry bags.


Finally I could just step back and go back to my room.


“Agh.” I messed up my own hair.


“Hmm.. Did I just accept the offer, huh? It might not be bad with Julius.”


Ah..What am I thinking right now???!! To this extent is my morale??!


“After that I have to leave for campus.” I dragged the black bag sling and descended limply.


“A ready to go, Neng?” ask Mr. Gino. I answered him with a soft nod.


“Why not get excited, Neng?” Mr. Gino seems to be aware of my change in attitude.


“Need money, Sir.”


“What do you do, Neng? Kids need money? Did you give me pocket money?” his smile was clearly drawn on the round face of Mr. Gino.


“That's it Sir.every month in love, so don't dare to ask again.”


“Emang need how much, Neng? Want me to lend?” Mr. Gino tried to entertain.


“Truly??? Just 50 million really, sir,” my eyes sparkle with pleasure.


“It's only 50 million, that's ma I should sell rice fields first, Neng!” Mr. Gino pouted.


“Yes, sir Gino.”


“What are so many things to do?”


“Tukerin motor person, Sir.”


“Hah??”


“I didn't accidentally fall in.”


“Terus?”


“Yes scuffed, Sir. Where is the expensive motor again.”


“Cuman abrasions of 50 million??? Lying to you, Neng.”


“Seriousness , Sir?”


“People car Mr. Kai aja yesterday in a stamp of people enter the workshop just 10 million. Though the car is expensive.” rant Pak Gino realized that I had been deceived.


“Damn Julius!!” sayatku angry.

.


I was sleepy in college, college today was so boring. Why did I first take a business major? Why not art, or cooking?? Uh..There are cooking schools at this college.


“Finally ended.” I breathed a sigh of relief because the sleep story finished being told.


“Ngopi ah to the cafe, buy coffee to say sleepy,” when the original reason is to meet with Alex.


“Does he have a shiff this afternoon?”


I went in and ordered a mochacino.


“Er.. Alexnya shiff no?” I tried to dare to ask another servant.


“Shiff really, td again to back briefly same girl.”


Degh's..


A chick?


Wh who?


Her boyfriend?


I gulped and walked to the nearest table. I was a little nervous waiting and hoping that she wasn't Alex's girlfriend.


Before long Alex walked out of the back door into the highway. Alex took the girl's hand. A beautiful girl with a sweet smile, her eyes were round like dolls, her long hair was waving in the wind. Alex helps the girl tidy her hair and opens the car door for her.


Alex's face looked happy. What does this have to do with the girl? Is she really Alex's girlfriend? My thoughts are enveloping my mind right now. The plastic cup started to emit dew and started to melt. I didn't gulp it at all. My taste was gone after witnessing the incident.


“Americano 1.” a familiar voice sounded in my ear, similar to Julius's.


“Pake this only.” He pulled out the tumbler and asked the waiter to put in the coffee.


It was true that Julius, the person I least wanted to meet, met me. I covered my face with the textbooks, hoping he wouldn't see me here.


“Exit? Can I sit here?” ask him politely.


“Many other places are empty.” I refused and stayed hidden.


“I want it here, because there is a little girl who promised to pay her debt today.” Julius still insisted on sitting in front of me. His hand flipped my textbook, turned upside down.


I pouted and took down the book that covered my face.


“How did you know I was here?”


“Didn't you realize you were too flashy?” a smile spread on his handsome face.


Agh shit, really handsome, if not for Alex I would have melted from earlier.


“How did you know I was studying here?”


“Om Kai.”


“Agh Papa.”


“How is the debt?”


“You tricked me, I don't want to pay.”


“Hm..Say you have no money.” Julius's words struck my heart, sure enough I am a poor rich girl.


“I only have 15 million at the moment.” I'm giving out an ATM card.


“You think I need your money? 50 Million money for me is also just a pennasian.”


“Idih amit-amit pompousnya.” thought I in heart.


“Then why are you blackmailing a poor girl like me?” I asked him a question of wonder.


“This.” Julius showed me a picture from his phone screen.


“Kalung? Diamond?”


“Red ruby stone, the design I just created for my new jewelry brand.”


“Then what does this have to do with me?” now I'm more surprised.


“I want you to be the model. Pay with your body.” Julius sipped coffee from his tumbler. Kulirik there's a picture of Batman and Robin, boyish once.


“So you mean pay with that body..... so model??” I asked him for an explanation.


My face turned very red her embarrassment.


“Partially I didn't blackmail you. You yourself said you wanted to be responsible.” Julius added.


I was stuck 2 times in my heart... UGH.pride me. bashful..


“How?” He's still waiting for my answer.


“O..oke,” I replied.


“Sip.I contact when I start shooting.”


“Iya. Alright.”


I finally accepted Julius' request, at least not too bad to be a model.


“By the way why bring your own tumbler?” I was surprised to see the Batman tumbler in front of me, the black and blue alloy was tooeye catching.


“Oh.. I always drink from the tumbler I brought myself.” he replied.


“Why?”


“Because it is more hygienic and can reduce plastic waste.”


“Tapkan only reduced 1 seed?” many wonder.


“If a day I drink 2x already 730 plastic waste reduced in 1 year.”


“Benev also sih.”


“Infant only if there are 5 people like me, it has reduced 3650 cups of plastic waste.” he replied.


I nodded in agreement.


“At least I can still reverse the apocalypse two-three years back.” he replied with a smile.


“Ahg. you are great.” I patted my hand in agreement.


My moment of conversation with her made me forget my sadness today. I forgot about Alex.


—MUSE—


It's raining hard tonight. Mom and Dad were chatting in the family room. Arvin drinks his juice while playing gadgets. I am still alone with my daydreams.


“Whose girl was it?” thought curious.


Alex was nowhere to be seen after the girl's return. I also did not pay much attention to when he came home because he was busy chatting with Julius.


Trings


The ringing tone of my phone rang.


Alex:


You're asleep already?


What???? Alex chat me first. Seriously?? Wh why?


I immediately ran up 2 stairs at once to rush into the room.


Lenna:


Haven't.


What was?


At this time, anyway? But I'm confused how to chat?


Alex:


Who was that


Accompany you at the cafe?


Huh uh?? Turns out Alex knew I was sitting with Julius. How'this? What do I have to answer?


Lenna:


Julius, my papa colleague


Not intentionally met.


How about yourself?


Together with a girl


Your boyfriend?


Ciye..


Nulis what the hell am I??? So stupid..


Alex:


Oh he is


Just a cousin


Coincidentally meet.


Lenna:


Your cousin is so pretty.


Alex:


Still pretty you.


Whahuh??? For Sponge Bob's magic shell.


Lenna:

Wherever possible


I'm disabled.


Alex:


Your imperfectness


Which makes you perfect.


Lenna:


I'm moved.


Thanks though. ><


Alex:


Go sleep.


Nite


Lenna:


Nite Lex's.


I clutched my phone in my chest, a smile still on my face. I lay myself down in bed, hoping it's not a dream, I hope this reality doesn't pass quickly.


Seriously, it looks like I'm falling in love.
