My Office Boy's
29. Halal Dating

Like a pair of teenagers in love, Kalia and Surya become shy cats.

Last night's events really changed everything. Even without awkward, now Surya started calling Kalia with a call dear. Halal dating is really delicious.

" What do you want to eat for lunch?" surya asked while preparing Kalia snacks.

" Lunch is all yuk, outside." take Kalia while tilting her face looking at the face of Surya who was so fun arranging the wet cakes he bought from the market after dawn prayers in the mosque.

" Isn't anything going out in the afternoon? Not afraid anyone will see?" Surya asked carefully while looking at his wife.

" Then I will make the appointment as usual outside the gate, I will wait there. We eat close to the office just to be able to flip back."

Surya nodded excitedly while stroking Kalia's hair gently.

" Today I'll add another menu yes, so dear not bored". Surya grabbed something from his pants pocket.

" What? good ones?"

" Good dong.niih.." Surya showed me something. The small heart emblem made by the thumb and forefinger that interlocked like the Korean people.

" Die..combal.." Kalia chuckled while punching Surya's arm tight. Intention wants to be shy cat but even excess energy. Haha

" Waduuuh.the power is super once lia nih." Surya laughed while holding his arm that felt sore.

That day they really had lunch together. For the first time in her life, Kalia felt excited to meet Surya. Like playing a secret agent-themed movie, they get out of the office and sneak around. In fact, the road as usual will not anyone suspect.

Kalia sent a message to Surya.

I'm in the kang parking lot, coming out the gate soon. Where's akang?

Surya retaliated.

I've been waiting dear at this turn, just come here.

Kalia starts her car and heads to the agreed place. Surya was waiting for Kalia and had already replaced his OB uniform with a long-sleeved light-grey shirt. His sleeves he rolled up the elbow. Looked handsome. Looks like he deliberately brought a change of clothes from home so as not to make Kalia embarrassed.

***

In a cafe not far from their office, Kalia and Surya seemed to be sitting comfortably while occasionally holding hands.

" I deliberately brought a change of clothes from home?" ask Kalia while sipping her orange juice.

" Yeah.akang do not want to make Lia embarrassed. The time of his akang kuel ari Lia trembar membana." replied Surya while pinching Kalia's nose gaunt.

" Where is Ratna going?" ask Kalia to investigate. Apparently Ratna's name still bothers her.

" His name, wants to go even mah. But I said I can't, want to meet a special person said akang Teh. Si Ratna immediately pouted. Don't talk about Ratna now mah, just talk about us."

Kalia laughed showing off her neatly clean rows of teeth.

" Lia don't mostly laugh that ah. I like not to hold.gemes. I want to kiss."

" Iiih.so be brave now. If I'm not allowed to, I can't kiss." Kalia replied, folding her hands together in front of her chest. Surya laughs.

" Hahaha.not that, Akang will wait until really comfortable with our relationship. I love Lia not because of physical attraction, but more than that.." Surya ruffled Kalia's hair gently.

Kalia was flattered, this man in front of her could indeed truly appreciate her as a couple. Kalia is feeling lucky.

They eat rib soup dishes that are already in front of the eyes. The two threw smiles and glances at each other, ignoring if from afar a pair of eyes were paying attention then approached them.

" Liaaa..iiih you had lunch here?"

It turns out that the one who was watching them from earlier was Kalia's best friend, Ira.

Kalia was stunned, she did not expect Ira to be in the same cafe as her.

There are so many cafes in Bandung. Why does this friend have to have lunch with his client here. What a shocking coincidence.

" Eh, Ra.lu eat here too? how can? is your office far from here?" kalia asked the wrong way.

" Hehehe. Coincidentally this cafe is closest to the toll road to Jakarta. So meet here. Lunch with your husband again?" Ira immediately turned her gaze to Surya who was frozen in place. Confused what to do.

" Eh.oh.iya, know Ra. This is my husband."

Ira immediately extended her hand to Surya, greeted by Surya who was smiling awkwardly.

" Ira.kali's best friend from college years ago" Ira said with a sweet smile.

" Surya.." said Surya calmly trying to cover the nervousness.

" Can you sit here?" Ira immediately threw herself in the chair before being invited. Kalia's best friend is indeed the most kepo with Kalia's relationship. Be this moment can make Ira vent his curiosity. Kalia immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

" Such a look at you guys from earlier. Handrail teroooos.." Ira tried to flirt. The faces of Surya and Kalia instantly flushed like boiled crabs.

" You've been watching us since, Ra?" kalia asked, annoyed by Ira's words.

" Hahaha.iya lah, I see you from the chair there tuh. It looks so obvious, you think I'm blind? Smile - keep smiling the newlyweds. Your eyes are like diamonds know, Li. Blink-blink.." Ira broke down, Kalia had to pinch him to silence.

" Iih.not nyapa from earlier instead be your stalker ya."

" My business wasn't done yet. And I also do not want to disturb you guys who are busy holding hands like to cross." Ira is back. Surya and Kalia are back in the red.

" Well, what part does Surya work in?" Ira suddenly asked. Kalia direct hot cold. He covered his face with one hand. Afraid of Surya's confession.

" In the General Affair section, mbak." replied Surya. Kalia looked at Surya. Surya smiled back at him. Surya doesn't lie, Office Boy is part of the GA department. So it's not wrong for Surya to say that, because that's how it is.

The anxiety from Kalia's face diminished.

" That's ah, Ra. So damn." anyway." Ira laughed as she rubbed her best friend's cheeks.

" I just first saw you misbehaving this way, beb. Funny to see that."

" Oh, yeah. Surya also has a business? in the field of agribusiness? really?" Ira is really annoying. Thought talk about Surya's work would end there, it still continues. Once again Kalia was stunned. Heart melos.

Surya looked towards her for quite a while, like looking for answers. Kalia threw away her face. Shame and feeling bad for Surya. Long Surya thought.

" Where do you know Ira? from Kalia, right? I have a business in the field of agribusiness." Kalia immediately looked at Surya with a question mark.

" In what field?" Ira asked again.

" Consider oyster mushrooms, ornamental plants, cultivate several types of tropical flowers and have several ornamental plant stores." replied Surya while glancing towards Kalia. Kalia looked very surprised. Feeling Surya can surf it in lying. Very convincing.
