Peter Samyang (Pepet Continue Until Dear)
40. Decrease Prestigiousness

"Pak Cakra," call Baby weak.

"Yes, you're safe. Don't cry anymore."

Baby wiped away her tears dripping down her cheeks. The fear that enveloped him still dominated. Things like this are very worried Baby and afraid if you go home late at night and late to pick him up. He was very afraid of anything that smelled criminal. There was no trauma, but he was very afraid of something like that. He is afraid of being abused and treated negatively.

Cakra justifies the position of the rearview mirror in the car. He did that so he could monitor and see Baby who seemed still afraid of the incident just now. When again he can look at Baby like this, long time no see it feels like there have been many changes that he experienced. Like a more beautiful face, cheeks are getting chubby and an increasingly attractive appearance.

No words came out of the mouths of the three of them, Cakra who was busy shifting his world for a moment to Baby. Dandi who focuses on driving, actually not only focus but he gives the opportunity for Cakra to talk first. Or at least he can mince words asking what is the reason Baby is still out of the house at this hour? However, seeing Cakra who just looked at Baby through the rearview, made Dandi curse in his heart.

"Where is your sister's father? Usually picked them up, right? Kok tumben lo not been picked up." Dandi money talk

"Yes, I don't know why either. They are not usually late."

"Yes dong Baby phone. If you see waiting for a doang, yes its name is wrong. Who knows they're sleeping." Still Dandi is talking

"Hape I'm dead, out of battery. Forgot to crack."

"Yes, here. You tell dad or adek lo let them not pick you up. Or at least, they don't panic if one of them gets to the cafe." Dandi gives her phone without seeing Baby. The glance is precisely directed at the chakras that appear to hide a stunned face.

So they still communicate intensely? That close they got until Dandi knew Clarissa's habits? Is this guy going to go near Mira or Clarissa?

Dandi knew, Cakra must be wondering in his heart, a lot of questions popping into his head. So many, maybe he could not ask them one by one or ask the question which one used to be.

"You work at the cafe now, Cla?" Cakra could not resist his coldness.

"Yes, Sir. It's been three weeks."

No more questions came up after that. Cakra prefers to look at Baby's face. I don't know, maybe the longing that rushes, now it has been treated with an accidental meeting.

"Thank you, yeah Dan. Where are you guys from?" ask Baby for pleasantries while returning Dandi's phone.

"Regular hanging. Tomorrow is the weekend."

Baby is just a mangosteen, he feels awkward being in the middle of Cakra and Dandi. Long time without each other apparently brings a different situation when we meet someone.

Not long after, Baby finally arrived home, Dandi immediately decided to continue the journey after seeing Baby really had entered the house. Not intended to be disrespectful because they did not meet the two parents Baby first, because the night made the two hesitant even though to just meet face to face.

"Kok you know that Clarissa works at the cafe? Actually, you want to tell Mira what is Clarissa, anyway?" The question finally came up.

"Well, didn't you tell me about this at all?"

"important indeed? Not that you always say that the departure of Baby has no effect on your life? Why do I have to tell stories?"

Cakra is upset. Why would he ask that? Why do you want to say it? Ah so caught, right if he secretly wanted to know the news Baby only he was eaten by prestige.

No more talk after that, Cakra who had just been consumed by his own nonsense preferred to be silent so as not to be more embarrassed by Dandi.

And that silence brought them to Cakra's house at exactly eleven p.m. They were separated at that hour because Dandi decided to go straight home and rest without stopping by Cakra's house.

The man who had just arrived at the house immediately ran towards the room. He forgot for a moment Aura who fell asleep with her mother. Somehow he chose to reach into the phone he put in his pocket and stop something there.

[Cla, are you asleep?]

Whether or not Cakra is aware of his actions. After his first meeting after being separated as if Cakra's prestige just vanished. He felt he shouldn't have let Baby and and Dandi get that close. Although he knew Dandi's target was Mira, there was still a point where Cakra felt unacceptable if his secretary was closer to Baby.

Five minutes, ten minutes, Cakra waited for a reply from Baby. The man waited anxiously while flipping his body in bed and occasionally checking his phone.

Ah maybe he's asleep, why am I waiting for a reply from him anyway? He must have been tired all day working at the cafe.

Cakra was unable to sleep after his first encounter with Baby. He was confused, there was a feeling of pleasure and also relief that he felt after a while meeting him.

***

Sleep that is not too deep makes Cakra wake up with a slightly dizzy head. I don't know, after meeting Baby instead he can sleep soundly and calmly, his head just seems to force him to open his eyes and think of his happiness today because he met Baby.

Cakra went straight to the dining table as soon as it opened its eyes as it felt hungry. Once there, Cakra cursed himself, why he had to start the day this bad.

"Hi, Cakra. Surprised, yes I was here early in the morning."

"Not surprised to be sicker. Why did you come so early?"

"Cakra, watch your talk!" sahut Oma Ning's. "Of course she came here to meet the clothes for your engagement. Your engagement day is just around the corner and you should already have your clothes on. So then go to our subscription designer to ask for clothes there."

Yes, their match seems to be continuing. Oma Ning who was once let down by Luna did not seem to diminish or make the old woman think back to match her with her granddaughter.

Alright, looks like Luna should indeed be invited to play. Now I'll grant your request and see what happens.
