Jeff put the suitcase into the room.
"Alright, Miss, please rest. My job is done. Here's my business card, if you need anything else. Don't hesitate to ask for help." Jeff said as he held out a business card.
Olivia, one of Arumi's colleagues immediately grabbed the piece of paper with a smile.
"I'm not shy. Thank you." Thank you." He said quickly still by showing off his row of white teeth.
Arumi was still staring coldly at Jeff as he swept through every corner of the apartment room. Jeff understood, then rushed out of the room was escorted by Olivia.
Arumi pushed her suitcase into a room. In the apartment there are two rooms. Arumi occupies a room with two other friends, while Olivia and another occupy the other room.
The unit they occupy is one of the property units owned by Mr. Haris, some of the others he rented, and one block from the apartment, is an apartment occupied by Leon and Dito, who are the residents of the apartment, Jeff lives there with them.
Jeff's life is also almost similar to Will, but he was treated by his grandmother who was one of Mr. Haris' workers in his vineyard in a village on the American continent. His parents have died, and since childhood Mr. Haris who financed his school to study at a university there, then he worked in one of the companies owned by Mr. Haris.
Since his grandmother died, he occupied one of Mr. Haris's apartment units, and when Leon decided to go to school in America, he was asked to look after Leon and his friend Dito. Leon had been comfortable living with Jeff, and chose to stay there, rather than move elsewhere.
Especially when knowing Jeff is also a street dancer, Leon and Dito are very happy. Several times they sometimes follow Jeff watching their street dance performances are flat followed by black people. From there Leon felt he still had a lot to learn more about the art of dancing that he has today.
Arumi and four colleagues, namely Olivia, Mia, Sarah, and Lia are discussing the schedule they should do while there. Shopping, cooking and picket schedules. Their schedules are also different because of the majors they take. Olivia and Sarah chose the same course. For Arumi, Mia, and Lia, take different classes. Moreover, Arumi who takes expert classes with a very busy schedule.
For a day's living, Mr. Haris has taken care of their lives and given them an allowance.
Today was the second day they stayed there, still in winter at the beginning of the year. At the turn of the new year's night, he can only see the video shown by Leon from a place. Arumi still vividly remembered the building that Leon had shown her.
Arumi walked to shop for daily necessities there, because tomorrow he had started taking classes. He put his thick jacket together and allowed his skull, the scarf wrapped around his neck, then with warm woolly gloves. He walked to a supermarket one block from where he currently lives. He continued to look at the building with a billboard that he saw in Leon's video. He looked at an apartment in front of him.
"Did Leon live here?" Arumi muttered with a smile. He deliberately has not informed Leon of his arrival, to surprise the boy's birthday.
Arumi continued walking towards the supermarket and got into it. At the same time Leo. Exiting the apartment door to the road, he seemed to see the figure of Arumi was standing in front of the apartment. He was very sure it was Arumi, but when he went down the stairs and towards the place where he saw Arumi, the girl was not there. He looked to the right and left of the street, and around it. But Arumi still does not exist.
"Hmmm.... I might be too hallucinating because I miss him!" Leon complained as he continued walking towards his campus.
Arumi has chosen chicken, meat, some vegetables, as well as fresh fruit to stock the contents of the refrigerator. He also bought some of his daily necessities. Then he went to the cashier and paid for everything. Right at the cashier next door, he saw someone smiling at him.
"Oh, hi Jeff!" Sapa Arumi who looked a little surprised.
"Hi! So dilty! Where are the others?" Ask Jeff.
"The others are walking way to the city park, he said there is a foodtruck selling Indonesian cuisine menu there." Answer Arumi.
"Just two days here, they've missed home!" Continue Arumi while raising her shoulders. He then lifted his groceries.
"Thank you." Arumi Sahut.
They walked out of the supermarket.
"You want to work?" Ask Arumi. Jeff just smiled. "My work hours are late in the afternoon until evening. I work at one of Mr. Haris' restaurants and clubs downtown. Seven blocks from here." He said while pointing to the direction of his workplace.
Arumi just smiled as she looked at Jeff.
On the street corner there is a man and a woman dancing accompanied by another hip hop and a spectacle of many people passing by. Arumi paused for a moment to watch. After the couple finished dancing, he clapped his hands, then put a piece of money on the hat that was flipped in front of the dancing couple.
Then he walks towards his apartment followed by Jeff. They went up to the floor of the unit where Arumi lived. Jeff looked at Arumi's face, which was now right in front of him, in the elevator he could clearly see the girl's face. Jeff's chest rippled, he looked at Arumi's lips, which looked tantalizing to him.
"Jeez, Jeff, wake up!" I want Jeff in my heart.
Since their meeting yesterday, Jeff always remembered Arumi. Ever since he lost his girlfriend five years ago to an accident, only this time did he feel that way. Looking at Arumi.
Ting..!
The elevator opens right on the fifth floor, awakening Jeff's daydreams of Arumi's charm. Arumi first got out of the elevator and walked towards her unit.
Jeff followed towards the unit while carrying Arumi's groceries.
Arumi puts the grocery bag on the table, followed by Jeff.
"Want coffee or tea?" Arumi offers Jeff a thank you for helping him. While he wanted to find out Leon's current whereabouts.
"Coffee with cream." Jeff answered happily. It was as if he was greeting his feelings at that moment. He wanted to stay with the girl for a long time. Jeff does not know that Arumi is the wife of Mr. Haris.
"So, you live near here?" Arumi asked as she placed the coffee cup in front of Jeff.
Jeff immediately warmed his hands while grasping the still hot coffee cup.
"One block from here. In front of it." Jeff pointed at the apartment in front of him. Arumi was speechless, surprised to see Dito seen in the room shown by Jeff.
Arumi's heart seemed to be dislodged instantly. It turned out that he had lived very close to Leon all this time. Yes, Leon told me that he lives with Dito and an employee of Mr. Haris.
Arumi looked at Jeff. And guessing, that man was living with Leon as well.
Arumi's thoughts have been imagined to surprise Leon with the help of Jeff and Dito. But it was different with Jeff. He thought that Arumi had the same feelings as him.
However, then Arumi changed her mind. Jeff is one of Mr. Haris' trust employees. Eat if he finds out about Leon's relationship, this will also be a scandal and a bad image for Mr. Haris and himself. Especially for his career. In the end, he would give the surprise himself.
