Not A Sugar Baby

Not A Sugar Baby
Re-meeting (2)


Aruna on the stage stood facing the audience shocked to hear the name called by the MC and turned to the person in question. Ben walked over to Aruna and Abil, his gaze continuing towards Aruna who was now also looking at him.


Abil received a box inscribed with a gift, symbolic for the reward they would receive. Ben greeted the two, while holding Aruna's hand their eyes stared questioningly. 


Mc directed for a photo session with Ben in the middle flanking Abil on the left and Una on the right. Ben pulled a tie of Aruna's hair while whispering "It's prettier to be stroked, your neck is tempting."


Aruna only glanced at a glance not daring to answer and respond because they were currently the center of attention. When taking pictures Ben's right hand embraces Aruna's shoulder, while Aruna lifts both fingers with a symbol of peace. 


"We need to talk, follow my assistant after this event," Ben said slowly and then walked first.


"Mbak Aruna," said someone who Aruna knew was indeed one of the employees in the same company as him.


"Yes." Yeah."


"Can come with me for a minute."


"You first yes, later I will follow" Una told Rahmi


Aruna followed up to the vip room at the restaurant resort where he stayed.


Door opened "Please mbak,"


"Thank you mas" said Aruna as he went inside, Ben was already there sitting on one of the chairs. Una was still standing glued until Ben stood up to him and hugged Una Erat.


"I miss you."


Cupping Aruna's face while staring at the two girls' neutrals "You don't miss me ?" Instantly Aruna's eyes condensed.


"If I miss, like or even hate om, then what should I do ?"


Ben sighed, sitting Aruna next to his chair, the table in the room was a box with 4 seats. Still holding Aruna's hand. "Aruna, I'm looking for you, but you're kind of dodging. Your contact is off, where your work is not there, once there's a bright spot you're drunk at the night club."


"I'm ashamed om, so I changed the number" replied Una while looking down. "When do I go to the night club ?" Ask Una


Ben touched Una's forehead "Auw," cried Una while wiping his forehead.


"Still not saying, I found you drunk at the club after getting info from the cafe where you work."


Aruna seemed to think and then frowned "I once to the club when Meisya wanted to get married, is it okay Om who brought me to the hotel?"


"Then who do we think ?"


"But why om even stay in me, why not be escorted home anyway."


"Where to go, the address I know is just your parents' house and you've moved from there. Because there was urgent business that night I also had to go to Singapore, only a few days ago I returned to Jakarta."


Una.


"Even I'm looking for a cell phone in your bag. So I wrote a memo I kept near the phone. I'm waiting but there's no news of you, until..."


Ben did not continue his sentence and rubbed Una's cheek.


Una looked at Ben "I didn't find any memos. But why wait for news from me?"


"Because I like you" said Ben. Aruna took off her hand that Ben was holding.


"You're married ?"


Una.


"Love ?"


"Just broke up." Jawabab Una made Ben chuckle


"But I didn't expect to find you as my own employee."


After enough Ben talked to Una, they finally moved towards their cluster of rooms. Una asks Ben not to go together to their respective rooms so that there is no misunderstanding when someone sees himself with Ben.


..._____...


"Hmmm".


"If you just want to sleep, do it all the way to the gathering. Mending at home," said one of Una's roommates


"Hmm."


"I'm staying, I'm going to have breakfast by the beach. Rarely is it."


Not long after I heard the door close. Aruna blinked her eyes slowly, looking around. His roommates were absent, turning to the wall clock that showed the time at 06:30.


He immediately ran to the door and opened it.


"Rahmiiii," cried Una when he was outside the room.


But it wasn't Rahmi who was met but the man she spoke to last night, Ben Chandra.


"Why is it here ?"


Ben pointed to the room that read VIP on Una.


"Oh, so the room is for the CEO" replied Una


"You're going out of the room in costume like that" Ben said, staring at Una.


"Hahh," cried Una and then her eyes faded when she realized she only used a tank top and legging trousers with disheveled hair due to waking up. Turn around and go back into the room.


Wearing knee-length toad pants and uniform shirts of the same event as other participants as well as footwear provided by the resort in each room, Una entered the restaurant for breakfast. Some of the gathering participants have played on the beach but there are also those who still enjoy breakfast.


Passing the table occupied by the managers, Una nodded and said hello "Good morning sir". Only Dimas who answered the others only nodded back.


"Well you happen to ask Una directly," exclaimed Vino gave his phone to Una.


Inevitably Una finally received the phone.


"Hello"


....


"Not to be afraid, you guys are safe here. Gathering together same-sex all."


.....


"Sya loe phone to hp me aja yes, this is almost everything in the room look up to me, you know your own bulk lambe likes to conclude things according to his own point of view"


....


"Yes, bye," Una ends the call from Meisya.


After breakfast, the activity is a fellow race between divisions to add familiarity and passion. When the free event almost all participants play on the beach, there are just swinging on rubber tires, riding banana boat and jet ski.


At 4 pm all participants must enter their respective buses to return to Jakarta.


"Come on Una, you won't get to the seats."


"Yes not possible, going to go home is also safe," Una told Rahmi.


Riding bus 3 is the same as when leaving the bus is almost full. Rahmi sat down next to Abil as she was yesterday. Wearing only a mustard-colored t-shirt, blue jeans and mules sandals and a sling bag Una occupied his chair. Taking her phone and ear phone out of her bag, she did not want to turn her head to the side as someone sat next to her.


Putting on his earphones and then playing songs, he was less comfortable having to sit with Dimas like when he left. So Una used an ear phone and chose to close his eyes avoiding communication with Dimas.


Not long after the bus left the resort, the ear phone to the left of Una was taken and installed in the ear of the man sitting next to Una.


"Om_"


"Ssttt, you've been sleeping. I wonder what you're up to" said Ben, crossing his arms around his chest. Because of using sunglasses so Una does not know whether Ben is being closed or not.


The day was getting dark but only half the journey because some of the points passed seemed to be stuck. Una was surprised because her hand was held by Ben. Until arriving at the destination, Ben continued to hold Una's hand.
